SrWWERvILLE INsTIrUTE.-Wc refer our
numerous readers to the letter Of Mr..
GAruR1Gur. which will be found in this
weeks paper.
We are we'll acquainted with the village
Of Summervillc and its vicinity, and feel
well assured that there are no local causes
Of disease in that locality. People will
sometimes die in the most healthy places.
and the lamcntable deaths Of several Of
our young friends recently at that Institu-
ton, is no good reason, in our humble
opinion. why this School should not 60
on prozpering as heretofore.
II is no vain praise or hattcry to Mr..
GAruEIGnr to say that the Institution, over
which he prc-ides with so much ability,
is universally recognized as one of the best
in the South. lie is a man Of learning,
a good disciplinarian. and withal possesses
great energy Of character and determined
will.
We feel convinced that if he thought
his location was a -ickly one, that hewould
abandon it at once, and remove with his
/ students. to some point where their health
would be more secure. But knowing, a
ne well does. that such is not the case,
hc is determined to Persevere, and we
have no doubt he will be literally sustain
ed by a jus, and discriminating public.
We extract the following notice from
/ the Crssseai. Of l.. W. Lyoy's great Go
thing Emporium, in New Orleans. Thi-
is an immense establishment, selling
goods at low prices, and capable Of fur.
nishing clothing for the million:
TuE "SorruERy CloruING EsrAuIrsu-
/ MENr"-Entirely consistent with that
ready and energetic enterprise which has
| characterized the operations Of Messrs,
| l.. W. Lyons & Co., since they established
| their mammoth clothing emporium at
the corner Of It. Charles and Common
| streets. Is the announcement that they
make this morning and which is that
they have now in store, and in READINGS,
to meet the demands of their thousand
customers, every article Of spring and
summer apparel which they may require
no matter how peculiar. ordinary, usual
or unusual may be the article required.
Their stock Of boys clothing is vast
and includes not only boys outer gar
ments for school and dress requirements
but boys shirts and furnishing goods gen
erallv The toll Of mothers Is lessened
bv this ready made" design of Messrs
l.. W. Lyons 4 Co., for at their store may
be purchased the wardrobe Of boys about
a. cheaply as it can be made up al
home. and all the labor is saved. Every
body il referred totheir advertisement.

BoxNER, or TUE NEW YoRE LEDGER
This gentleman, we learn, has paid, the
past year. 100000 for advertising, and to
contributors to his paper. lie is now one
Of the most noted men in the Union.
At a recent dinner given to the literary
celebrities Of our great commercial mo
tropolis, the following toast was given:
"The Star Spangled Bonner"
And very recently we see that new
style Of Bonner Hats have made their APP
pearance, which are said to be remarkable
for their style and beauty.
The Nao York Leigr is one Of the best
papers extant, and Bonner is truly won
derfuI man. His success, however, proves
10 All the world and the ''rcst Of man
kind" that if a man wishes to succeed in
business. let him advertise freely. One
dollar spent in this way Is frequently re
turned a hundred fold.

HAIL STORM IN NATcHEz.-The city o
Natchez was visited with severe hal
storm last Thursday evening. The Courier
of Saturday, in referring TO it, says
Since the immense hail storm of Thurs
day night, the atmosphere has become
clear and quite cool. Just think of it
hail stones measuring ten to twelve inche,
in circumference. Surely it is enough tC
make any climate cold for time! And
vet such was the case in the storm Of
Thursday. Even the oldest inhabitant
had not seen the like before.
We heard of friend in this city
Thursday night after the hail storm, who
gathered enough of the cold missile,
dropped from the clouds, to make large
quantity of ice cream for household and
neighbors.

TERRIBLE RAILWAY ACcIDEvTTo a NIGHr
Express TRAIN.-We c0ndense from the
Boston Post. the statement OF a passenger
who was on the night express train OF the
Great Western Railway, at the time Of
the fearful casualty which occurred on
last Saturday week, and a brlel notice OF
which appeared under our Geographic
head day or two after.
Mr.. Cornell, the passenger referred to,
saws the accident was caused by the wash
ing out of a portion Of the embankment,
about loo feet long and twenty feet deep,
into which the train plunged whilst run
ming at the rate of twenty-five miles an
hour. 1t occurred about > o clock in the
morning. when very few passengers were
awake. and Mr. G. thinks that the num-
Der killed is greater than was reported.
The train consisted Of two lrst-class pas
senger cars, and one sleeping car, which,
with the locomotive, We're completely
wrecked-When the sleeping car turned
over, Mr.. Cornell found himself on his
feet. uDon the side Of it, and one end
being higher than the OTHER, was compar-
ativelv clear. while the other was one con-
fused heap of human beings and broken
seats.
The shriells and groans which he heard
about him induced him to remain to sue
cor the helpless. He commenced by tear
ing up the pieces of seats which held a
great many passengers firmly and danger
| ously fixed throwing the boards, &c, out
of the nearnest window. Three young
/ ladies, who We're tightly wedged in, he
next extricated. two without injury; the
/ third had both her feer injured While
/ working away unaided in this brave man
L.
/ of the ladies to be careful and not hurt
her, it was with the greatest trouble, and
only by cutting away her clothing that he
finally got her free.-ln the pile OF hum
an beings under these ladies were two
others whom he next attempted to sue
! cor-One. a young man, he finally drew
/ forth and passed HIM out of the car; his
| leg was broken and he was very much in
| jurcd; the next object WAS a dead body,
! some poor creature killed at once finally
he came to two others-a man and his
wife. The woman was firmly held by her
feet by pieces of seats and planks, and
I beneath her was her husband, wedged
tightly in the ruins. his head only being
visible. He finally got her out and lifted
her 10 window 10 some one above; both
of her legs were broken. The husband
he also set free; he was not severely iniur-
nell saws he was the last i've one on the
car.

OFrIcE OF THE SUNNERyILLE INSTITUTE,
GholsOn Miss. March y. 1859.


Gholson Miss, March ., 1859 I
Hon. 5. R. ADAMs:-Deqr Colnel:-O
the llth inst, felt called upon to sus-
pend for two weeks, the exercises Of the
Summcryille Institute. At the time Of
my action in this matter, concluded that
1t was not necessary to make any newspa-
per publication, explanatory, orotherwise,
but thought it best to let the case develop
itself by such representations as the stu
dents would make on their way home, and
to their parents. The several papers of
our section having noticed the occurrence,
relying upon the imperfect accounts Of
those not informed, it has now become OBJ
lIgatory upon me to give to the public a
succlnct statement ofthe facts in the case,
which are as follows:
On the 2nd inst, Mr.. Edmund Crook,
OF Smith county, died here very suddenly,
OF what the attending physicians called
/ Inflammation Of the BRAIN No other case
/ OF sickness existed in school at the time,
and but one during the whole annual term.
In five days from the death of Mr.. Crook,
Mr. W. II. Stubs, also from Smith coun-
! ty, who had been in school only two weeks,
died Of pretty much the same distemper.
On the 18th, Mr.. Henry ". Axum, Of
Lauderdale county, died.
Although we had no further case, and
although the disease was said to be in no
way contagious, we feared its disposition
to go through the school, as is sometimes
the case with families. | suspended the
school, and sent all those out Of the reach
OF infection who desired to 90. We know
nothing Of the cause Of the disease. 1t
came upon US without warning, and left
US suddenly.
Without having disposition to harrow
up feelings, we will venture to remind the
public that our suspension is the third that
has transpired in the South during the
last twelve months in schools of character
The University Of Virginia was forced tc
suspend last summer on account of the
death of eighteen of her students. The
University Of Mississippi did the same
thing last fall These, the best schools il
the South, if not in the United States
have not been injured, but the public ma.
sustained them. We do not fear. Oul
hills, our springs of pure water, our salu
brioua mountain air, and our past expert
ence, teach Us not to fear.
Insert this in the Clarion (which hav,
not seen for three weeks and oblige me
and host of friends of the Summervill,
Institute, among whom stands most prom
inently the present class of chivalrou
students.

PAYING FOR Ir-THE BREACH or PRoNIsE
AT BUFFALo-The Buffalo Courier SAYS the
jury in the case OF Miss Sarah Ann Ellis
vs.. Benjamin Long brought in a verdict Of
S3,75o, with which every one seemed sat
istied, unless it Is the defendant. The
plaintiff. as appeared from the evidence.
resides with her father at Westmoreland,
in the County of Oneida: that in 1853 or
81 she, then being 10 years of age. came
to Tonawanda, in Erie County, and while
attending school made the acquaintance
of the defendant, who is the son of an old
and wealthy inhabjtant Of that place; that
the acquaintance thus formed ripened in
to an intimacy between the parties. which
resulted in marriage engagement be-
tween them. The plaintiff returned to
her home IN Oneida, and the defendant
commenced the study OF the law at Buff
talo. lie there met a young widow. A
school teacher and enlisted under her
sable banner, deserving his first love.

The Moahccllo Journal appears anxious
that the Gulf and Ship Island Railroad
should pass up Pearl River. lfho should
succeed in having this road run in that
direction. IL appears TO rs that il would
be tributary, in a great degree, TO New
Orleans
We have always entertained the opin-
ION that the route Of this road should be
located equi-distant between the New
Orleans and the Mobile aud Ohio Roads.
This would accommodate a greater num-
Dor OF people now destitute Of railroad
facilities. and would pass through a far
better lumber region, and could bo con-
structed, we think. for less money. The
first 90 miles, from the Coast 10 Augusta,
In Porry county. the road could be- run in
q direct line. through an unbrokcn level
county We have no doubt. however
but that The interest Of the Company
viii induce thom 10 select the most direct
and practicable route.
We are noe selfish in our views-will
advocate the construction Of the road no
matter what direction Il takes. bat II the
terminus had boen selected al some point
North Of Canton, there would have been
e bettor prospect Of getting aid nom ths
State.

CEEvA>sEs.-TheN icksburg Miss. True
Southron, Of the 9th inst, gives the fol-
lowing additional intelligence in regard to
the creyasse at Col. Whites plantations:
The creyaose, about six miles above
Nlck,bug, is hourly widening, and the
water Is pouring through with increased
volume and velocity, carrying destruction
ana desolatIon to many a hapless planter
below. The plantation of Col. George w.
Groves Is already almost entirely mum
dated, while about half Of that Of r. w.
Burney esq. Is also submerged. We hear
OF no efforts being made to stop the Gre
vase. nor do We believe that any efforts
could now check the advancing tide of
the maddened waters. Where the dam
age Is to stop no one can foretell, but we
fear that it will be most disastrous.
The running Of the cars on the Nicks-
burg, Shreveport and Texas Railroad has
been suspended in consequence of some
SIX hundred yards of the road-bed having
been washed away, and all intercourse be-
tween Richmond and the city is tempo
rally suspended. We learn, however that
Col. Horne, the active superintendent of
the road, will probably make arrange
ment., within day or SO. for connecting
with boats from this city with the cars at
the point beyond the break.

GOVERNOR FoorE.-The suggestion Of the

among the people. twas given out, some
time since. that tho Governor had retired
nom the turmoils Of political life, and
that he would spend the remainder Of his
days IN the quiet pursuit Of his profession
but instead Of this, we think we see indi-
cations Of his being again before the poo
