At late meeting Of the Board Of Curators o
the Missouri State University, at Columbia, Al
bert Bledsoc, L. L. D., at this time Professor OF
Mathematics in the University of Virginia, was
elected President, Of the first named institution
for six years frcm the 4th of July next, at a sal
ary Of $4,000 per annum. The Missouri States
man says of him: AZ ..
DR. Bletsoe, is Ken.uckian by birth, and a
distinguished literary man. 1t were perhaps
sufficient endorsement Of him that he is a Pro
fessor in the University Of Virginia. In addi
ton to this, however, we learn that he is gen.
tlenan of eminent and thorough literary attain
ments, and enlarged experience and commsnda-
bic ambition as an educator of youth. He Is de-
voted to his profession, and understands it's du-
ties and is alive to its responsibilities. thor
ough scholar, sound logician, an able and elo
quent speaker in short Literary rten who will
know nothing among us except the University
and its interests. we believe him just tho man
for the vacant Presidency. He is no politician,
and, we learn, a member Of no church. We are
prepared to sustain him, and t. second his efforts
in building up our educational interests and in
advancing the University to distinguished uae-
fuluess and 8 high destiny.
We may add that DR.. Bledsoe is the Ghthor OIL
i volume recently issued by Lippincott Co;
Phiadelp phia, entitled "Au Essay on Liberty snt
Slavery" in which he presents a temperate abb
and unanswerable .scripturul argument in rciu
tat;on Of AbClitionism.
DR.. Albert T. Bledsoe, l.. l.. D. is, we believe
brother of DR.. S. 7. Bledsoe, Of this county
an intelligent and worthy gentleman, who has
resided in Dallas county for many years. Should
DR.. Bledsoe accept the Presidency Of the Mis-

RArnEa CurrfSo.-Some few years before Dam

editors who now occasionally disgrace themselves
by malignlng bis memory, because they could
not bend him to their sectional and narrow pur-
poses, were in the habit of personally attacking
him ID their columns. in connection with his
private affairs, and especially made point Of
his alledged non payment of his debts. After a
good deal of provocation of this kind, Mr.. Web

impulse of administering deserved thoug b NOR

The NEW BOUNDARY DIFFICULTY BETWEEN TIL
UNITED STATES AND GREAT BRITAIN.-Ca California
Oregon and Vancouver's Island papers, brought
by the steamship IIabana, are largely occupied
with articles in relation to the new boundary
dispute, between the United States and Great
Britain. The San Francisco Herald, of Aug. IL
referring to the intelligence that the Island OIL
San Juan, the largest of the group lying between
Vancouver Island and the mainland opposite
and constitutinga portion of Whatcom county
in Washington Territory has at length been oo.
cupied as military station, by detachment oi
United States troops, under command Of Capt
Pickett, remarks:
We presume this important step has been ia
ken after due notice given to the British Govern
ment of its intended adoption. As far back as
January last the President avowed his determi-
nation to assert the rights of the United States
over San Juan and the other islands of the archi-
pelago lying between Vancouver Island and the
continent. The title Of the United States to
those Islands is as clear and indubitable as to
any other portion of their domain. Having as
certained this to be the fact, and finding that
San Juan and Lopez Islands containing harbors
of great capacity and safety, and were occupied
bya thrifty and industrious American popula-
tion, the Government of the United States has
very properly proceeded to take measures for en-
forcing its claim to the group in question. Up
on the occupation of San Juan it appears that
Governor Douglas issued a vaporing protest
claiming the islands for the British Crown, and
dispatched o vessel with troops to dispossess
Captain Picketts command. That officer made
arrangements to resist the threatened attack,
and collision was only avoided by the annnl-
ment, by Admiral Baines, of the orders issued
by Governor Douglas.
