CENTS NOT A LEGAL TENDER.


PHILADELPHIA, July Goth, 1859
Dear Sir: The new cent is not legal tender for
any specified amount. Neither was the copper cent
OF former issues legal tender for any sum.
They are lawful coins" and authorized to pass
current as money" but they are not expressly made
legal tender in payment OF debts.
A. me @ constitution of the United States prohibits

Yer a legal tender in payment of debtsH
This prohibition to the States does not amply ex-
PresSiy to Congress- but the principle perhaps does
AT all events, Congress has never made ANYTHING

l. Once more we stand together
happy girlish throng
Half eager and half dreading
To sing the parting song.
.. Glad household bands await u.s.
And friends whose loving ewes
Bid hopes all bright and glowing,
OF future joys to rise.
8. But whilst we feel the pleasure
TO days glad meetings bring,
We feel the pain of parting;-
We sorrow whilst we sing:
4. As children of one household
As sisters in band,
We've wept and laughed in union
We've studied hand in hand.
s. Now some part for a season.
And some perhaps for years;
And some depart for
They ask us for our tears
@. Farewell our Alma Mater
Farewell our studies too
fe loved ones, teachers, schoOlmates
long, a fond adieu.
The benediction was then pronounced by the
Rev. DR.. w ebster, and the company at about J.
o'clock, retired to enjoy themselves for hour or
two, previous to the Inauguration of the new princ-
pal of the institute, Professor VIM. r. Creery
At three o'clock, the company, numbering some
two or three hundred ladies and gentlemen, assem-
bed in grove near where the ceremony of inau-
guration took place. The exercises commenced BY
prayer from the Rev. Mr.. Butler, of Washing
ton D. C.
The Rev. John G. Morris, chairman of the COM
mittee on General Government, then addressed
Mr.. Creery, and said that the board of trustees
had elected him to the position of principal of the
institutional position of high dignity, but one
they were satisfied from his antecedents, he would
fill with credit to himself and satisfaction to the
board of trustees.
George Slothower, Esq, president of the board
OF trustees, afterwards in few appropriate re-
marks, rendered the key of the institute to Mr..
Creery, who accepted it and returned thanks for
the high honor conferred upon him by the trustees
MIR. Creerv continued to address the audience in
written speech-his theme the Influence and Edu-
cation of Woman. Before the gentleman was half
through-it being then quarter past four O o'clock-
Dr. Morris came forward, and said he was under the
disagreeabe necessity of nterrupting the speaker.
He had just received word from the railroad COM
pany that owing to the crowded state of the cars
which would pass Lutherville at So O'clock the
company could not possibly accommodate on
that train all these who in attendance at
the school. The company had sent a special train
from the city, which was waiting at the sta
ton, and it would be necessary to break off the
exercises in this abrupt manner, if the company de-
sired to return to Baltimore The company then
dispersed in hurry, and made their way to the
cars, much disappointed in not hearing the conclu-
sion of Mr.. Creery's address,

THE HIGHWAYMEN OF TRIMBLE COUNTY,


Correspondence of the Cincinnati Gdzette.l
BEDFORD, TRIMBLE, Co., Ky, July 25.
A paper of Madison, Indiana, stated that Judge
Nuttall had made requsition upon the Governor
prisoners to be tried this day, which being heard
of in this county great excitement got up, re-
sulting in the organization of mob. The paper,
which had made the tale up out of whole cloth,
for there is actually no organized militia company
in the State, the new law not going into effect for
two years, and the old one having been repealed
had stated that a regiment would arrive at this
place on Sunday evening.
This mob accordingly resolved to hang the priso-
ners fearing that they would escape or at least be
taken from the county About seventy-fve armed
men met at the backsmith's shop, fully bent upon
death. Mr.. Nicholson, son-n-aw of Halls hap
pened near, and made speech, imploring the peo-
pld to allow the due of justice to be followed
Apparently, his words had no effect; the men
marched to the Jail yard and demanded the custo-
DIV of the prisoners number of speeches were
now made; the falsity of the rumor was pointed
out, and the anger of the people was turned upon
the editor of the sheet who probably saved bis
bones by being absent.
This morning the town is animated with men,
women and horses. Persons here from all the
adjoining couuties. The Judge is anxiously look
ed for every minute. The array of counsel will be
some. Tom Marshall is to be here, but whether for
the prosecution defence, he did not himself know,
when heard from him at the Henry Circuit Court.
Will Pryor and Mr.. Pat. Majors (the prosecuting
attorney are in for the prosecution, certain
Crlttenden, of Madison, nephew Of the Senator,
.. D. Guthrie, of this town, and De Haven, OF La
grange, defend Hail. Roberts and Morris will plead
guilty. have not heard who has been retained by
