THE PITTsBURG FEMALE COLLEGE

The PITTSBURG FEMALE COLLEGE,
The present term Of this highly successful
and useful institution closes on the 18th
Of next month, with the usual literary ex-
ercises. In the evening literary contest
will take place, in which several of the
pupils will take part. Five gentlemen
win preside as judges on the occasion,
and a silver cup will be awarded to the
successful contestant. The exercises will
be iull of interest, and we look for high
ly exciting contest among those young
ladies who propose taking part in them.
The spring session will commence on
Wednesday, the 10Th of March Those
at distance who intend to enter, would
do we'll to give notice to the resident,
Rev. |. c. Pershing at as early a day as
possible. The attendance during the past
session has been far in advance of that of
any previous winter in the history Of the
College, The institution has been grad
uaily but surely winning its way into the
affections of the public, until it can now
boast a patronage far in advance Of that
of any similar school in eastern Ohio or
western Pennsylvania, As evidence OF
its great success under Mr. Perahing's S
administration, we may cite the fact that
not only was fine philosophical and
chemical apparatus purchased this year,
but the Indebtedness of the institution
was reduced some $4,000. The Trustees
are fortunate, indeed, in the services of a
gentleman Of such efficiency and ability
as Mr. p, and under his active manage
ment, the College cannot butsacceed. The
institution we consider one of the best
managed and meritorious in the country,
and as such we can cheerfu'ly commend
it to all having daughters to educate

THE TRIBrSE, as the principal paper support

able Foreign and Domestic News, its Com

capacity and foresight of HORACE GREELEY is
due much of the glory of the victory over

The contradictory suTmises and discor-
dant statements received BY telegraph last
evening, will leave our readers in doubt
about the expected conflict at Fort Sum
ter. Fortunately the suspense in which
the latest accounts creates cannot be of
great duration. The question must be
solved to-day, or, should the weather On
the coast be unfayorable for the operations
Of the fleet, soon thereafter. We are at
present inclined to give credit to
the report which says that jeff
Davis will prevent fight by
permitting Sumter to bo provisioned.
We have never believed that tile Southern
stomach was as greedy for lead and cold
steel as the chivalry would fain make LIS
believe. All the incidents and accompani-
menta Of Secession, from first to last, have
been Of sort well calculated to create the
impression that the movement was the re-
suit Of momentary passion rather than the
profound conviction which inspires even
timid men with courage to do and dare
all things for SUCCESS. But we shall zee
what day will bring forth.

MIR. SEWARD.

The allegation that there is dissension in
the Cabinet at Washington, and that Mr..
Seward threatens to Withdraw in conse.
quence Of the policy which the President
has inaugurated. is an invention of the enc
my, behind which an excuse for q want of
loyalty to the Government, in this crisis, is
sought No man in Washington, if our
private advices are correct, is more ear
nestly in favor Of the enforcement Of the
Laws than the Secretary Of State. Sin.
cerely desirous Of peace, be has the Wis
dom to see that it can be attained only by
obedience to the constituted authorities
The efforts Of the New York Herald and
other Satanic journals, to create dissatis-
faction in the Republican ranks by the as
sumption that Mr. Seward has quarreled
with the President, are purely gratuitous,
and have their origin in motives that no
patriotic man can entertain.

STAND BY THE GOTERNmRxr


Now faltering now. 4 step backward
is utter and irretrierable ruin TO the cause
which every man in the North must make
his own. It is confession of error and
cowardice which the Republicans of Chi
eago will never make In ordinary times
the duty Of standing By the Government is
not necessarily imperative Where on]v
partisan issues like those which have been
presented, arc involved, to oppose or sus-
tain an Administration is hardly a matter
OF merit or demerit. But now the yery
existence ofthe Constitution and the Union
depends upon the fidelity Of the people to
the rulers whom they have chosen. They
must be supported; because they are the
representatives Of Law, order, constitution
n liberty and national interrity. To OBJ
struct the plans which they NAV hare
formed, or to discourage their patriotic en-
deaTors to do their whole duty, is to e.
