 ResotDed, That these resolutions and MR. DoLBEAR's reply, be published in the Pico- yune, De}to, Crescem, Courier, TRUE WrT- NESS, and Advocate.
 J. 0. ANDERSON, Chairman.
 THOS. w. WRiGAT, Secretary. 4NesSrs. HARRINGTON, RoYsTER, WARE, COmmitee:
 GENTLEMEN-Alow me to express>fo you my most sincere thanks for the very elegant manner in which you have .Kscharg- ed the duties which the warm-h -hearted lib. erality of your fellow students has devolv- ed on you.
 For those kindly resolutions and this beautiful cane, be assured gentlemen stu dents, one and all l have no words to ex- press the full sentiments of my heart They will ever be remembered with gra- titude, with pride and pleasure, and cher lshed among the dearest mementoes of my life.
 And let me say, gentlemen, without compliment, l have never seen students anywhere, or at any time, more entitled to the warmest regard and highest respect and consideration of all than those now at this institution. To attain the highest po- sitions and public good wishes, you have only to continue as you have begun in dustrious, studious, moral, temperate, and honorable in all things. Such, and such only, are worthy to control the destines of this nation and the world. Accept again my thanks, gentlemen, and be assured of my best wishes for your prosperity and happiness. l will only ask of you and those who have been students of this in stitution heretofore, to extend to it your best wishes, so that soon it may annually number thousand of the noblest sons of the south. New Orleans should be more than Athens ever was. It should be the great commercial, educational, and scien- tltic emporium of the world. Why should the sons of progressive America be sent abroad to imbibe the stale dogmas of su- perannuated despotisms instead of a prac- ttcat education! Rather let them come here, and bow before the genius of American thought American science, and American liberty, which in fifty years have done more for mankind than Europe, Asia, and Af- rlca, in five thousand years. RUFUS DOLBEAR.

 After stalking their gold against counter felt bills pulled out by the ball man, they soon lost all without even once guessing the correct situation of that ubiquitous individual yclept the Little Joker" The ball man and the guide, walking off to the corner to consult, turned it suddenly. and although the Arkansas travellers followed and even jumped upon the cemetery walls and cried aloud for assistance, made good their escape.-New Orleans Delta.

LEGAL TENDER.-The law regulating the payment of debts with coin provides that the following coins be legal tender.
 l. All gold coins at their respective val ues for debts of any amount.
 7. The half-dollar, quarter-dolar, half dime and quarter dime, at their respec- tive values for debts of any amount under five dollars
 3. Three cent pieces for debts of any amount under thirty cents; and
 4. By the law passed at the last session of Congress, we may add, one cent pieces for any amount under ten cents
 By the law of Congress, passed some four or five years ago, gold was made the legal tender for large amounts. Those who, to get rid of large quantities of cents and small coin, sometimes pay their bills with It, to the annoyance of their creditors, will perceive that there is a stoppage to that antic by law.

He appeals to tie chari- table to come forward in aid of these suffer- ing fellow-citizens. Cannot somthing be done in Philadelphia to help then?-Ar- gus.
 It is out of the question, brother Bellows. They are sorry for the starving poor of Mi chigan, but, don't you see, their abolition enterprises must be sustained. They must spend their annual millions to help the great cause of stealing negroes and sending them to starve amongst you, they have nothing to spare for mere white people, They are sorry, very sorry, but they will not be able to ds anything for the famished women and children of Michigan, so long as a single negro remains in his comforta- ble home in the south-N O.
