Hemndcn sidney MAGAZINE.

We have received the October nm Der of the
Hampden Sidney Magazine, containing in ter
esting and instructive articles. The editors
are Messrs J. w. JACKSON and VIM. Ii. WISE,
of the Union Society, and WIN. H. MURKLAND
and W. O. TowNEs, of the Philanthropic So
.siety.
Among other articles, 1t contains an appeal
ia behalf OF Hanpden Sidney College, signed
by its able and accomplished President DR.
ATKINSON, DR.. HoGR, and Others as a Com
mittee OF the College, making known the con.
dition, the prospects, and especially the wants
of that institution. The Board of Trustees
have resolved 10 raise one hundred thousand
dollars for the endowment of the College
which they propose TO invest in the safest Sc
cGrities and devote the increase 10 the support
OF the institution. BY the iiberaiity of few,
individuals a considerable part OF this sum
has already been pledged bur, to secure the
whole, 1t is necessary 10 invoke the aid Of the
friends Of Hampden Sidney, and of sound
learning throughout the whole field of its
operations. 1t has rendered as valuable SER
vice 10 the cause OF learning as any College in
Virginia, and to the Presby terrain Church it
has furnished some OF it's brigh test ornaments
lis number OF students has steadily increased
and during the last session the mum Der of ga-
tricbiates reached one hundred and thirty
hye-all OF whom belonged TO the College
proper in contradistinction TO the grammar
school-a larger number, it is believed than
lii any previous year were ever admitted to
the College classes. But the success of the
College shows the necessity OF nn addition to
Its present funds. For years past not dollar
has come into its .treasury from tuition fees,
and by the terms OF sale of scholarships, their
use can be secured al a merely nominal sum,
source. If the amount can be raised which
the Board OF Trustees desire, the income Of the
CoIlegs will be more than doubled. the faculty
greatly enlarged, the salaries OF its members
made 10 approach what they ought to be, and
the College buildings and grounds repaired
and benefited. Hampden Sidney was founded
amid the struggles of the American Reyolu-
tion, and 10 next liz age To the venerable College
OF William and Mary. Upon the Presby terrain
Church OF Virginia she has peculiar claims
The committee state that though not formally
she is and ever has been vitality, Presby.
terrain College; was founded by Presby terians,
has always been controlled by Presbyterians,
and by far the greater part OF her support she
has ever drawn from the Presbyterian Church.
II Is impossible to mention College in the
United States which has stronger claims upon
tns heeraiity and support OF Presbyterians
than Hampden SIDNEY

Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.

MEMPHIS, July II, 1860.
Editors Richmond Experimentation In
my last communication l gave you the ad-
vantages of this city a coffee market, and
hope your large millers will not overlook 1t.
l will now call the attention OF your enter
prising young men engaged III the tobacco
trade. 10 the advantages this poIntnoW mas for
putting up strips, manufac turing common
and medium grades, ordering and re-priZlng
the leaf for shipment.
The Memphis and Ohio Railroad is now
com leted 10 large portion OF the tobacco
growing counties of this State, and connecting
with roads extending into the tobacco coun-
ties of kentucky. tobacco inspection has
been established here this year, for the first
time, which has already caused Il good deal of
the leaf TO be sent here for sale. The quality
generally has proved good, and sold at salts
factory prices. Much the larger portion COM
ing down on the above road has been shipped
through TO New Orleans, for the want OF deal
ers here. With sufficient dealers in the mar
ket, have no donbt but that in few years
the inspections would be all of 10000 hhdS., II
not more. This point having decided adVan-
tages over Clarksville and Paducah, here
large quantity OF common ana medium grades
of manufact ured is sold to planters for their
servants. which is purchased as regularly as
provisions. The Irish laborers, a large num-
Der of whom are employed in building ieyees,
also consume a large quantity, besides other
demands. The manufac turer here would save
the many heavy charges with which he is
taxed when shipping his tobacco at distance.
Strips and leaf can be shipped ut low rates TO
New Orleans, and then be transferred 10 yes-
sells for European ports free of charges.
The seasons in this county have been, thus
far, all the planters could desire. The cotton
and corn crops were never more promising
If no disaster befails the cotton crop, it will
take hundreds of millions TO pay for it, As
the late John Randolph once said, Cotton is
King
