Who will not only preside over the literary
department, but will have sole charge of the
boarding house.
PIE Trustees consider themselves fortunate
in having obtained as Principal this lady,
whose many years experience and success as
teacher eminentlv qualify her for 50 respr-s-
BILE position. Under her auspices, this
stitution will assume the character which eis
school for young ladies should possess, viz:
that of the fcmiiy, combining mental culture
with the maternal influences of home in man
ners. morals and religion. No sectarianisn
will be encouraged, but pupils will be care
fully taught the simple precepts Of the Bible.
The we'll known healthfulness of the locality
the surrounding society equal to any in the
State, the commodious building, school and
boarding house under ore roof, all offer rare
advantages for the education of young ladies,
which the Trustees, with confidence, recon-
mend to parents and guardians.
Music will be taught by competent teachers,
and more than ordinary attention pala 10 the
languages, Latin and French.
The Principal will be upon the premises
from the 1st of September, to attend 10 apph-
cations for admission.
Owing to the difficulty, at this time, OF pro-
curing furniture, boarding pupils VIII pe re-
quired to provide their own dlng anu taoie

Do We DESERVE TO BE FREEI-We
despise croakers, bit when we see the
most important military posts in the Con-
federacy put in charge of "northern men
with southern principles" and BY them
given UP to the yankee commanders, It
seems to Us so utterly inconsistent with
prudence and common sense, that we doubs
whether We deserve to be free.
When we see such lack of foresight, or
something worse, as 10 leave the most i'm
portant point in the south unprovisioned,
when the yankees had been straiuing
every nerve to take it for more than q
year, we are tempted to ask ourselves, if
we deserve TO be free.
When we SEQ the whole country infested
with men who should be in the army, one
protesting to be an invalid, and another to
have resigned a commission, while multi
tudes are seen on the public highways
under various pretexts, at time OF most
critical emergency, we involuntary ask, If
we deserve to be free.
When we sec those who are left at
home, while the brave youth Of the country
have given up all their comforts for their
country's good, almost ignoring the exis-
tence Of a class known as soldiers, save
their own kin, and spending their time
and energies in accumulating money, We
are almost driven to the conclusion, that
we do not deserve to be free.
When we hear of the rich men Of the
country running away TO save their pro-
perty, and save their families from the
insults of the brutal foe, leaving the wives
of the poor soldiers, who are risking their
lives in defence Of that property, we con-
fess that we are almost tempted to exclaim,
we do not deserve to be free.
When we see men with subjugation and
slavery staring them in the face, buslly
grinding the faces of the poor, or on the
constant watch for the best trade that can
be made, even with the hare pressed wife
of an abssut soldier, we almost knock
under and admit, that We do not deserve
to be free.
Wnen we hear of men, protesting to b
men, who are ready to give up because
Vicksburg has fallen, who declare thaI
further resistance is useless, we say tG
ourselves, well surely We do not deserve
to be free.
But finally, when we find that our vo-
men have to throw themselves into ths
breach and press on desponding men, We
come decidedly to the conclusion, but fo1
the fair daughters of the South, we do no
deserve to be free.-L1 Baptist.

The Brownsville Flag Of the 18th inst
Of the Rio Grande- that the report Of
the yellow fever in that city is without
foundation, bu. that the daneue feaver is
circulating through the city. Judge
Resgate is now in Brownsville, having re-
turned from his visit to England. He
was captured on the Peterhoff, which ves-
sci he appears to have been the means of
bringing out as agent of the Lloyds, and
will now exercise that agency in Texas
business. The Flag says that the city is
crowded with people fron the North, East,
South and West, Yankees, Confederates,
Germans, Mexicans, &c, and that it is q
difficult matter to cross their principal
streets for the wagons and teams that
crowd them. The Flag says:
"Strange to say, Boston and New York
are familiar names to our sights, for We
have groceries and dry goods from those
hostile markets just as regularly as they
do in New Orleans. We send hides and
wool and-shall we say it Cotton to the
Yankees, and they send us wherewith to
feed upon and wherewith to clothe our
selves.
They send US powder and shot, sulphur,
phosphorus, nitre, caps and all manner of
explosive and destructive things, and they
would send Us more such things if it was
as acc ,ssible to smuggle a rife cannon
across the river as il is to quietly slip over
with rifle powder. 1t is an understood
matter that this point is neutral territory,
for Yankees come and 60 out of Browns
vile just as some Confederates 20 In and
out of New York. All this Is business.
Cotton, goods, specie, and paper money
are the blood, bones, flesh, nerves and
sinews of business. To buy and sell,
trade, exchange, barter and chatter are
the occupations of the hour and the day,
and the huge multitude Of merchants.
farmers, lawyers, preachers, teamsters,
doctors and feminine divinities keep.
straight in the faith from morning until
night. Many ladies have made their ap-
pearance in the city, and our dry goods
dealers have pleasanter times now thar
they did when none but sturdy tsamsters
bargained for crinoline and calico. Pret-
ty females are here from Texas, having
made their pilgrimage to this mercantile
Mecca, across the desert and over the
lonely road from here to Goliad, driven
to the journey BY the necessity of the

Washington telegraph., 1863-08-05

s.g-Northern papers say that Mr. Ould,
Commissioner Of the Confederacy for the
exchange of prisoners with the United
States, accompanied by Hon. A. Fl. Step
hens, Vice President of the Confederate
States, were sent 70 Washington on a
mission Of some sort. At first they were
reported as awaiting the decision of the
u. 5. authorities as to whether or not
they would be received. 1t was said that
a cabinet council was held, and, after
full delberation, it was determined not
to receive Messrs. Stephens and Ould,
but that they must communicate through
the ordinary channel. The northern pa
pers now give out that the mission was to
propose terms, and negotiate peace, be-
tween the North and the South. The
humbug might have taken if its authors
had stopped here but the terms were
published and they are SO ridiculous as to
bring the whole report into discredit.-
We do not believe that Messrs. Stephens
and Ould were sent on any mission to the
Lincoln government; but, if they wer ,
sent, it was to iaake negotiations as to ex-
change Of prisoners between the two gov
ernments.

CorToN FROM SALT LAKE.-The stsa.
mer Denver, Of the Missouri River Packet
Line, arrived at st. Joseph on the 25th
with cargo taken at Omaha, part of it
consigned to St. Louis, and tn re nainder
to Chicago and New York. Among the
shipments for New York were sixty.two
bales Of cotton which had been sent in
from Salt Lake. This cotton was raised
South of Salt Lake City, and, as we un-
derstand, at no great distance from it,
The entire quantity produced this year in
that neighborhood is estimated at eighty
thousand pounds. These facts are impor-
tant, as showing that cotton can be raited
in as high latitude as 40, and at an ele-
vation of some 5000 feet ab,ve tide-water.
