Clarksville (Tenn. } Female Acad-
emV,

We had the pleasure of greeting in our
sanctum, the other day, DIR. A. i. Ham
ilton, President of the above institution
Coming, as he did, from our old home in
Tennessee, fresh from the friends of our
youth and the "loved ones of home" we.
of course, received him with hearty well
come, and Immediately set in to pump
ing out of him all the little domestic news
which is so gratifying to the absent. He
informed us that C!arksville, for the last
two years, has increased in geometrical
ratio in wealth, enterprise and Importance.
Her tobacco trade now amounts to mil
lions of money, whilst her various manu-
featuring interests are rapidly progressing.
Her institutions of learning have kept
pace with her commercial and manufaotu-
ring interests, and she now boasts of hav-
ing erected one Of the largest, finest and
most commodious buildings for Female
Academy in the United States The bull
ding is ITO feet front and runs back $50
eet, three stories high and is furnished
with all the modern conveniences of such
establishments, including gas light, cold
and warm water, bathing apartments, &C.,

five hundred boarders. We have it from
Bishop Pierce that the building is one of
the finest and most convenient for the
purposes for which it was built in the
Union.
The Faculty, of course, is all that such
an institution should have, and in it are
some of the ablest teachers in the country.
Rev j Malone, formerly of the Nashville
Female Academy under Dr. Elliott, is con-
nected now with the above institution, and
others of great reputation for learning and
instruction.
Southern parents have now no excuse
in the world for sending their daughters
North of Mason and Dixon's line to edu-
cate. Here is an Institution in beauti-
full and healthy little city, on Southern
soil, possessing all the advantages and fa-
cilities of any institution in the country,
and that, too, at prices far below the usu-
al charges in schools of this grade. The
President and his corps Of teachers are all
Southernors; in fact, DR.. Hamilton remark
ed to us that he intended to make his
school, in Southern Confederacy, what
Yale College has been to the United
States-one of the first institutions of its
kind on the continent. We wish him
God speed in his noble and laudable en-
terprise; and wherever he goes in this
State, we heartily commend him to the
most implicit confidence and kindness OF
the people.-AJerdeen IMiss.) Conservative,

Farmers Bows.

The following article, which we ind in
the Valley Farmer, a Western Agriuultu-
raj periodinal, we commend to the attention
of every Farmers boy. Parents should
also point it out to their sons, and if nee
essary read it to them carefully, and then
hand the article over to them, without
comment, unless the remark be Of a mild,
pleasing nature:
ain the wide world there is no more i'm
portant thing than farmers boys. They
are not so important for what they are as
for what they will be. At present they
are of but little consequence too often.
But farmers boys always have teen, and
we presume always will be. the material
out of which the noblest men are made.
They have health and strength; they
have bone and muscle; they have heart
and will; they have nerve and patience !;
they have ambition and endurance and
these are the materials that make men.
Not buckrams and broadcloth, and patent
leather and beaver fur, and kid gloves
and watch seals, are the materials of which
men are made. 1t takes better stuff to
make a man. 1t is not fat and flesh and
swagger and solf-conceit; nor yet smartness
nor fippancy, nor foppery, nor fastness.
These make fools bat not men; not men
such as the world wants, not such as it
will honor and bless. 1t is not long hair
nor much beard, nor "a cane, nor pipe,
nor cigar, nor quid of tobacco, nor an
oath, nor glass of beer or brandy, NOR a
dog and gun, nor pack of cards, nor a
novel, nor vulgar book Of love and muir
der, nor tale of adventures, that makes a
man or has anything to do with making a
man.
Farmers boys ought TO keep clear of all
these idle, foolish things. They should
be employed with nobler things. They
have yet to be men of the clear grit, hon
est, intelligent, industrious, ambitious men
who shall love their country and their
kind. With the means they possess how
easy for them to be In fact the first class
men. They have land and stock and
tools; they have health and time and mind;
they have schools and churches and pa
pers; they have books and perseverance
and the heart and hand for work. More
than this they need not Letthem awake
aud work aud read aud study. 1t ia not
, all work, nor yet all study, thay will make
them men Of the right stamp. They mus
|, work intelligently aud study with an ear
nest purpose Of being benefited, and ther
/ they will become what they ought to be

A THOUGHT FOR TUE YOUNG MEN,
More may be learned by devoting few
moments daily TO reading, than is com
monty supposed. Five pages may be read
in fifteen minutes, at which rate one may
peruso twenty-six volumes, of two thous-
and pages each, in year. You say you
have none to guide you. The best schol-
ars and men of science will tell you by
far the most valuable part of their educa-
ton is that which they have given them
selves. Volumes have been filed with the
biography Of self-taught men. Think of
franklin. the printer; Of Lime, the shoe
maker; OF Herschel, the musician; Of
Donald, the weaver Of Turner, the prin-
ter; of Bcrritt, the blacksmith. Love
learning, and you will be loarDed. Where
there is will there is a way. Begin at
once, take time by the forelock, and re-
member that it h only the first step that
costs, and, having begun, resolve TO learn
something every day. Strike the blow
and avoid the weakness Of those who spend
half Of their life in thinking what they
shall do next Always nave volume with
you which you can catch up at such odd
minutes as are your own. IL is incredible,
until trial has been made, how much real
knowledge may be acquired in these bro
ken fragments Of time, which are like the
dust Of gold and diamonds.

The Government has just been officially informed
that Captain Montgomery and his party have CON-
mcpced operating again in Kansas by hanging and
killing three opponents and threatening TO compel
an adjournment Of the land sales advertised to take
place during the month of December Letters
have been received from reliable source addressed
to the proper authorities saying that Capt. Mont
gomery had force Of probably 500 men with
plenty Of arms and amunition and that from time
to time war-like supplies had been received by him
from the North. The writer says that the demand
to adjourn the land sales was mere pretext for
raising an armed force, and that the real object Of
this lawleSs organization is a raid on the frontiers
of Missouri and then on Arkansas and the Western
borders to avenge the punishment of Abolition
emissaries.
Gov. Medary mas recently communicated some
important particulars relative Capt Montgomerys
reputed alarming movements. Orders will be
forthwith despatched ordering United States troops
in Kansas to such points may be necessary for
the protection of the land officers in the performance
of their duty, as well as any public property that
may be menaced; including Fort Scott.
