attention to the advertisement of the trustees
of this institution. What they say Of Mrs
Knox is but small portion of what is due.
We have known her in Nashville, Tenn, fol
more than twenty years. She had built uI
and sustained in that city, until its occupation
by the Federals, the most popular female
seminary in the place, and had acquired the
confidence of all for con.cientou. discharge
of the duties of her position. Parents may
confde the intellectual and moral training and

allow any personal friendship to lead us to de-

BRAVO FOR JOHN We see accounts in our
exchanges of the capture of the Federal General
Neil Dow. 1t happened in this wise. Our
young townsman, John Simms, was detailed
as scout and, with few others, was acting
-araund about jackson, in Louisiana. One
beautiful, moonlight night, the Goth Of June,
he, with six others, penetrated the enemy's
lines about ten miles below Port Hudson
They came across Gen. Dow about two miles
within the lines, captured him and carried him
cut. In doing this, they passed within three
hundred yards of the enemy's pickets. With
the General they took two horses, brides and
saddles, three six-shooters, and a magnificent
sword. A very fine pair of pistols, worth $500,
fell to John's share, which he keeps as prize.
He longed to get the sword, but fortune did
not favor him in the lot.
Is this Gen. Dow the old temperance lee
turer! If 80, he must have fallen from grace.
or he never would have been caught out, like
the poor worm in the adage, to be picked ul
by these early birds.
