daughter of a fayoritc slave of his, and
he desired to have her we'll educated aud
brought up away from the influences Of

holder himself, he is not blind to tho
disadvantages under which she would
necessarily remain in slave State. For
several years she has lived in separate
establishment in Natchez devoted cxclu-
sively to her use.
This year her father concluded to send

tened for time and left the church in
high dudgeon.
Not caring to 60 back, however, with
his mission unfulfllcd, he called upon

ing unwilling to do so, unless her par
ents could reside here and board the girl
and herself, she was not engaged, and
finally daughter Of Mr.. White was en-.
gagged to attend to the educational de-
partment. Special instructions were
given that thorough instruction should
be given in the common branches aud in
