Our Schools.

We have repeatedly urged the importance Of sus-
| tanning our Schools and Colleges, in the very best
possible manner during the war. No temporary
gain compensate for the loss or neglect of the
education of children and no reverse of fortune
should prevent our attending to this important duty
if possible Whatever else North Carolina may not
boast of she can at least boast of her schools of all
grades, for both sexes No State in the South ex-
GELS her.
We beg to call The attention of our readers to the
advertisements Of the following institutions in our
columns to day:
The Cnirersity.-It will be gratifying to the nu-
merous friends of the University to learn, that
while many of its students have buckIed on their
and have gone to the war; its classic halls are
still open, and that goodly number of students
are there. We hope the next session will open
with a large increase of Students however much
the war may rage. Its friends must not allow its
doors to be closed.
Greensboro Female College-This is the oldest
Female College in the State. Under the able ad-
ministraton of Rev. L. NJ. Jones' it has attained
reputation for scholarship, discipline and efficiency
of which the denomination which controls t may
we'll be proud. We are glad to learn that notwith-
standing the pressure of the war, it has had good
" number of pupils the past session.
Trinity College. This has been one of the most
useful institutions to the State and the denomina-
ton under whose auspices it now is, which We have.
1t has sent out large number of teachers into the
State and South, and under the control of the indie
fatgable President Rev. Dr. Craven, it is likely to
maintain its efficiency for many Yeas We learn
that its prosperity the past session has exceeded the
expectations of its friends and patrons.
Glen Anna Seminary.-Thls Female school, in
that healthy and stirring village, Thomasvlle, still
exerts happy influence, and is prosperous for the
times The Teachers are all Southern, and every,
effort is made to promote sound and useful educa-
ton. 1t is perhaps one of the cheapest schools in
the State, and is located in pleasant and intei-
gent community. .f....' ..- o.. ..-' ''' ..

SALT.--Soon after our last issue went to press we
learned that the scheme of our worthy county
man, Maj Russ to procure salt from the salt
works in Virginia for our people had been de-
feated. The proprietor informed the Major that
they could not fill his order, because of the de-
mands of the Government and other previous en-
gagements, which could not be supplied in the next
two months. Mr.. VIM. Cross of Gates county, be-
sides thirty Others We observe met with similar
disappointment. The reliance of the people must
therefore rest upon some provision to be made by
the State Convention to get supply. The Con-
vention, it will be seen is directing its earnest at
tentiOn to the matter.
