It is a fact worthy Of notice, thai both Of
our UNCONVENTIONAL colleges in Mississippi are
suPerintendsd BY men who are not ministers
Of The gospel. Ir is another remarkable fact,
that ouc Of these Institutions, the Mississippi
college ar Clinton, has had under the govern
ment Of senior Professor Orner 2 course Of re-
msrkable prosperity. It IS a third remarkable
fact. that the other Institution, the University
N DsSoto, at Center Hin, received a new i'm.

its friends as soon as President Hawkins under
took its management, notwithstanding be sue /

our colleges will flourish best without ministers,
and our pglpits without literary presidents

thirteen were E~piscopalians ; now, Of twenty
four, only len are Of that denomination. None
