A member Of Congress, from New
York, on Thursday, received the follow
ing letter froln an officer in Fort Stump
ter, giving important intelligence of the
condition Of affairs at that post:
Ny desire is to give You few reliable
data concerning our situation. From
the little news we see, tits apparent that
the maj Of the published statements
concerning Srnpter are very inaccurate
and unreliable. We have received 90
reintorcements, and know Of none that
are coming. To introduce reinforce
meuts to this garrison is an extremely
difficult problem, aud the attempt by no
means lnsures the execution. A glance
at the coast survey may well convince
YOU Of this. Sumpter is by no means
impregnable, and measures based upon
this proposition will have poor founda-
ton. With large garrison, and abund-
ant supplies, this fort would dctaiu a
large army before it for long time
but, - you know the aforementioned
conditions are not satisfied. A large
force is still At work on the batteries
around us. The batteries of Morris Is.
land are supposed to be completed
Steamers and pilot boats arc on the
watch At night, and to us seem quite
vigllant. These vessels come quite neaI
the fort, and justly give Us much trouble
and anxiety. We have an efficient COM

erous man ins.de would affec. Us moe
Than Thousand without. There ha,
been no attempt on the part Of any sol
d,ers or laborer t, desert. aud can safe
ly say that there will be none. Oul
greatest fear and anxiety is concerning
the possibility Of re-unitiug the scatteree
fragments of our country. Of this stat,
we have no hope and no desire.

is in gratifying contrast With the spirit
exhibited by Greeley and other radical
journ alists. Speaking Of some Of the
pending propositions, it ssys:
1t has been proposed, - one way Of
complying with this demand, that the
Missouri Compromise should be restored
and the state Of the country, as respect

sec what possible objection there can be
to adopting that course. II the resto-
ration of the Missouri Compromise

to erect New Mexico and Arizona into .

a State government is granted shall be
surrendered to slavery, it is difficult for

PHYSICAL Education.

in an article on college education tue PHI
ladelphia L.dyer has the following remarks:
But it is physical education in which our
colleges have chiefly been so much behind the
requirements Of the age. lie who for four
years, while the hody ia growing and the
frame consolidating, neg l'cls entirely tie pro-
per trimming akd development Of the physical
system will rarely become true man among
men.
In England, the wild sports Of rowing,
cricket, shooting, skating and fishing arc so
generally pursued, that the systems Of edu-
catren which have grown up there have not
had to provide, but to limit these exercises.
Ies even there, such man AS Lord John
Russell has to stand aside and play second to
the clustering Lord Palmeraton, almost en-
tirely because the lntter is better physically
educated man, while the former is only meta.
physical 1t has of late years become almost
lrovcrb at Oxford, that tho best rowers and
wiestlers and riders make also the best schol-
ars and strongest thinkers.
In this country it often happens that some
Of our most industrious College students are
tall, thin youths, who have all their lives been
used to work hard, physically, Us their par
ents were, before them. They have studies
to make up and a determination to beat. from
real inward thirst after knowledge, as well
As from the thirst for distinction. II, BY some
lucky accident, these young men are forced
to fake exercise enough, either to earn part
of their living or to walk to their boarding
houses, they will and d. make the very finest
scholars in their class and Of their age-thc
men of greatest grasp Of mind, retention of
memory and pcrsistency Of purpose. But in
nine cases out Of ten they break themselves
down by want Of physical exercise and deyel-
opmQnt before they arc half through their
course.
At Amherst College, they have now a pro-
fcs3or Whose whole time and attention ale de-
voted to the physical exercise of each class.
They are drilled and marched in military
fushion. They learn to climb and run, and
play all sorts of gymnastic antics, like Zou
avcs. The dumb-bclls are brought into cx-
crci.c, and thousand fcats, from the expert
ence Of all past ages and German science, are
introduced to develop every muscle. Each
class has its daily exercise, and the effects cS-
ceed the most sansuine expectations. No.c-
c;dent has vet occurred nnd not one has been
