cannot he accused of fiattery If real merit

fitted to the office of Adutant General of the State
of North Carolina.
We believe that Gen. Mann has been longer IN
the service of the State than any other person now
holding u commission. He has won his way from
the ranks to the position he now occupies. Won
his way, not by favor Partially, but by the in
teres and zeal he has always manifested toward the
volunteer soldiery of the State.
We entirely coincide with the writers before men,

for the position, BUT think that there should be no

night They parted and met at the Mills House at
tea. Deponent then went up to the railroad, where

him with his baggage, and stated that he had taken
sleeping for deponent. They got into the car
together and sat down. when man came I'D (who
was the Tweedy before referred to- to the best of de-
ponent's beef) and told the said Hazeldine that

ponent to let him have $50 until he could get the
amount from his vase in the next car. Deponent
handed him the money, Tweedy went out of the car,
and Hazeldne walked toward the car, as if to get
the money. moment after, deponent's suspicious

plundered by thieves, and pu: the matter in the
hands of the police"

Central Ohio Conference Seminary

We take pleasure in announcing to the
friends of Education of Northwestern Ohio
and the public generally, that the Institu-
ton located at Maumce City, known as elm
Grove Institute" has, by the unanimous
consent of the Central Ohio Conference of
the M. E. Church, passed under its control
and will he opened uader the name of the
Central Ohio Conference Seminary" for the
admission Of students, both male and female,
on the 25th day of November, 1861. The
property of the insttntion, at low csti-
mate, valued at Sl5,OO0, was presented by
the city council, in fee simple, to the Central
Ohio Conference. The citizens of the place,
alive to the Importance of such an institll-
ton in their vicinity, have noby testified
their appreciation of the cause by subscrb-
ing 81 800 to be expended By the Trustees
in improving the premises. The officers
have already been appointed, and by the st
of January next, they will all have entered
actively upon the discharge of their duties.
OF the Principal, J. w. Hiett, we can not
say too much; and we arc satisfied that by
his management the school, under ordinary
circumstances, cannot but prosper. The
Trustees are comprised of active and com
petcnt men, which with the hearty co-ope-
ration of the friends of education in this
vicinity, will tend TO make il one of the most
flourishiDg institutions in the State. A bet
ter position for Seminary of this kind
could not have been selected. The quiet
ness and general good influences brought to
bear upon the youthful mind in Maumee
City are considerations which should not be
overlooked by parents in sending their sons
and daughters, even though it be to moral
and religious institution.
