ST. LOUIS, Dec g.
Kansas advices of the 22d inst have been received

The Lecompton constitution, with slavery, was
carried at the election the 21st by large maori-
ty. The pro slavery vote at Shawnee 765, at
Alathe 200, and at Lexington about the same
1t was reported at Lawrence that a body of free
State men gone to Lecompton to seize the Ter
ritoria arms.
A letter dated Lawrence 21st, says that General
Lane has gone to Fort Scott with the avowed deter
mination to destroy that place, exterminate the pro-
slavery settlers the Shawnee reservation, and
carry the war into Missouri
Gentlemen from Kansas report the whole vote of
Lecompton as 1872, and the majority for slavery 90.
No votes were received in Lawrence, and the poll
books not opened at Topeka.
The slavery majority in Lexington was 80.
Nothing had been heard from Leavenworth.
General Denver had assumed the Governorship Of
the Territory, and had issued an address, in which
he exhorts the citizens to appeal to the ballot box for

For the Standard.

Messrs. EDITORS Aware, as am, of your ardent
attachment to the cause Of general, and especially
female education, beg leave, through the medium
Of your excellent and widely-crculating paper, to
submit q few remarks in behalf of Oxford Female
College.
This hourishng institution is located in the beau
tiful town of Oxford-one of the most healthy and
desirable places in North Carolina. 1t has hitherto
been literally patronized; closed its last session
under the most pleasing and favorable circumstances
and has a bright prospect of commencing equally
with the new year. Mr.. j. Ii. Mills, the prin,
cpal of this school, graduated ut Wake Forest Col
lege few years since with the highest honors. and
Is well known to be ripe scholar and gentleman
Of high order of talent. From an intimate associa.
ton with him for the last six months, | know him
to be man of deep pety, great intrinsic worth and
nnf'nching nerve in discharge Of his duty. And
from these and other requisites there are, in my
humble judgment, but few men better qualified to
discharge the duties of the high and important posi-
ton he occupies
Mr.. Mills is emphatically working man, and
all connected with him, both teachers and pupils,
are required to work Also In regard to myself l
hope to be pardoned for saying that thus far have
done and intend to continue to do all in my power
to advance the pupils in the department which
| preside, (that of drawing and painting,) and
feel persuaded that thus will the other teachers do
also. Much pains is taken in this school to improve
the health and refine and polish the manners Of the
pupils and all that be done is done to promote
and secure their very best interests.
No sectarian influence whatever is exerted upon
their minds, and they are permitted to attend pub
lie worship in the different churches in town where
ever preaching may chance to be. .'
Mr.. Mills has recently added much to the College
for the comfort and convenience of the school, by
and almost entire outfit Of furniture, &c. and
in addition to this he has secured the services Of
Mr. William Piper and his estimable lady to pre-
side over the stewards department. whose good
cheer and fatherly and mothery care for the young
ladies only be equalled by the piey and amiable
| disposition of these most excellent people. .4
Thus, Messrs. Editors, it will be seen that this
school possesses ordinary advantages and parents
and guardians who would have their daughters and
wards acquire finished education cannot do better,
in my humble judgment, than TO send them to Ok
| ford Female College. .-.-....----...i
