At the recent exercises Of the
Wesleyan Female College which had the plea
sure Of attending, l was very favorably impressed
with the composition read by Miss Askeip, enti-
tied alt is not all of life to live" The young
lady's manner, added to the strong reflective
feeling which was thrown into her production,
evidently fell upon the audience with peculiar
force, and drew their attention to its unusual
merit. 1t evinced an elegance of taste and re-
fnemeut Of feeling that are not frequently enough
attended to by young lady pupils, even in our
first class seminaries This, and many olherof
the compositions read on that evening, fully
attest the peculiar advantages which Prot. VIII
sons College possesses towards cultivating aad
Developing mind, instead of the storing it with
mere book knowledge
deem this brief notice of Miss Askew's efforts
ou the occasion referred to as being worthy of
special note, and with your permission would be
glad to see it in the next number Of the Journal.

property. ty.-Notwiihsanding the great increase
Of Of slayes-nearly 500, O00-between the years
1860 and 1860, the number of fugitiyes appears
TO have been diminished by over 200. Il will
also he worth observing that the seven States
which first seeded aud formed the Southern
Confederacy, have lost during the last tea years
only 2ls slaves, while three Of the slave states
that still remain loyal Maryland, Kentucky and
Missouri, have lost 1913. The per centage Of
these respective losses to the amount Of property
undisturbed, would of course, present the pretext
Of the Gulf States in n far more ridiculous light
Finally il is apparent from an inspection Of the
table that all oi the above fugityes ran through,
as an average, more than two slave States before
they could get into any free States II they
could not therefore, be intercepted there. where
there are peculiar facilities for detecting and
arresting runaways, how could 1t be expected
that they would be caught in the free States 7

"Let Them do their Worst.

Thus speaks the Mobile Register aud Adrertiser.
There is something nspiriting in tic zeal and en-
thusiasm of this popular Journal. Neither Z" fail"
nor "faltcr" is in its vocabulary: hut Fright on
to the good work in hand" is the spirit that ac-
tuates its continuous exertions. Scorning all
petty displays of self-importance and aburing all
past differences, it appauds all who do well in the
Southern cause and cheers the dcspondent with
sterling words of hope. We clip the following
passage from of its recent political articles, as
erincing that kind of confidence which should
fash from heart to heart throughout our borders:
"Northern news says that Lincoln, in his mes
sage, will call for million Of men to suppress
the rebellion. We are glad to hear it. The South
sighs for moro lnen to conquer as Alexander did
for moro worlds to conquer. The greater the force
opposed to US the greater the glory of our victo-
ries-the greater the disaster to our enemies. The
Confederacy desires tc do its best in this war.
We cannot do our best unless the Mortimer do
their worst. Let them do their worst, and then
We will do our best. Let them draw their Gordon
of armies along our Northern frontier, and of ex-
peditionary forces along our sea border, aud the
South will rise in her strength as Sampson, when
he felt the many-fold gives of the Phiiistines
upon his free lilnbs and rcnd their bonds asunder
to ravage and destroy her enemies with the license
of destruction lee loose"

How They WilIWork 1t.

They have great scheming and planning now
among them, as to how they will work the inva-
sion. It seems that they have ut length pretty
well determined to make Cn5ee bear the brunt of
the whole affair. Let the Savannah Nstcs explain
how this is:
1t would appear from the reports of Lincoln $
Secretaries Of War and of the Treasury, thut in
their desperation, the Yankees have resolved to
sickle nothing in their efforts to subjusate the
South. Chase is for working tho negroes to death
in making cotton, rice and tobacco fog the sup
port of tho government, and Cameron has hit
upon the humane idea Of making breast-works Of
them for the protection Of their soldiers They
are to be caught and put to work under Yankee
task-lnus.ers in raising crops to feed and clothc
their captors, or are to be placed in the front
ranks Of their armies to protect thom from the
fire of our Southern soldiers. Thus they propose
to make - practical application Of their disiuter
ested JOHN Bro,on philanthropy. The New York
TriJuae says the Yankee nation will heartily ap-
prove the recommendation of Secretary Chase :. as
wiser disposition Of slaves than to l:ave them
in the rear Of the army, roaming ut large, piilag
ing and marauding."
