Return-Day
One hundred and eighty-6ve cases have been
issued to the next term Of Court The condi.
ton of the money market, tighter by several
degrees than during the '%crisis,' betokeued a
much larger return than this, and our people
should congratulate themselves that a general
spirit of indulgence has saved them for the time.
1t will not be so always, however. There is a
very large amount of Indebtedness in this Dis.
trict, and unless debtors are provident in man
agement and prompt in payment, this winter,
the dockets at next Spring Court will exhibit
the consequences. Indulgence can be obtained
only by an honest and earnest effort to pay
Such are the signs of the times Look out!
18th Texan Hunter"
We publish a very beautiful poem, or ballad,
on the outside this week, from the pen Of Caro-
lina's great novelist, W. Gilmore Simms, emit
tied sTbe Texan Hunter" We take it from the
second Volume of an edition Of his poems pub
lished in 1853 in Charleston. The fame Of Mr..
Simms as a novelist, has so overshadowed his
name as q poet, that some deny him the latter
title at all. It requires only q perusal of the
above mentioned volumes, however, to discredit
such erroneous notions. Mr.. Simms in both
phases of his genius-as poet and novelist-is
the Sir Walter Scott of America.
Yorkville Female College.
1t affords US pleasure to chronicle the success
and patronage at present extended to this de
serving Institution. The number of students
already in attendance this Session is sighty.nine !;
the teachers are all at their posts and at work
in earnest; and everything is moving on with
the utmost good order and harmony. We are
glad to be able to say in this connection that the
worthy principal and president, Mr.. Anderson,
is looking better than he did during the summer
season-having received fresh strength for his
labors, no doubt, from these bracing and life
giving days Of early autumn. We ore pleased,
too, to see that Rev. Mr.. Adams, the able Prof.
of Mathematics and English Literature in the
College, and the eloquent and much loved pastor
Of the Presbyterian church in Yorkviile, has in a
measure, if not entirely, recovered from his af-
Fiction of the throat, and is rejoicing his friends
by his healthy appearance and ability to dis.
charge the duties of both positions.
The corps Of Teachers has just received an
important and interesting accession in the per-
son of Miss Malin, Of Philadelphia-making now
eight in all. Miss Malin is o graduate of Ches-
nut St. Female Seminary, of that city-a school
which has been extensively patronized by many
of the best families North and South and the
lady principals, Bonney and Dillays, highly re-
commend her for native talent, accomplished
scholarship and great amiability and sociability
of disposition. Since her graduation, stwo or
three years ago, she has been teaching in Phila-
delphia and according to recommendations, has
given much satisfaction. She will teach French ;
assist Mr.. MULLER in the musical department ;
aud, if needed, will assist in the higher branches
of the English department. The prudent as
we'll as patriotic principal, who was determined
not to have a lady with abolition sentiments, is
entirely satisfied with Miss MALIN in this respect
her views having been ascertained to be per.
fectly sound in regard to the ''peculiar institu.
ton"
With the welcome of the Press to the ~''sunny
South" we add its wishes that the Northern
"Lily of the Valley may flourish as we'll among
our Southern roses" as upon the banks of the
Schuylkill and that with the fragrance Of the
two combined, our female college may continue
to be
Ia wilderness Of sweets,
Where no crude surfeit reigns."
