EdgefeHd Female Institute.

Mr.. EBIroR: Will you slow mo . small space
in your paper fer q few words to tho former pat
rons of the Edgeheld Female Institute. The his
tory of this school for the laat faur years has
bean full Of anxiety, disappointment and sadnes.
I would not murmur against the Good Being who
hs, ordered it thus. I would rather thank Him
for bis g%rseiou. help, by which I mas enabled to.
continue the school under many and serious en-
b.rrassments. Z feel deeply indebted to those
patrons and pupils who always gsro. their conf
deuce and hearty cooperation. Kind friends, I
thank you from my heart, for the sympathy, gusd
wishes, and holr, which made the burden 40 much
lighter.
I am sadly conscious that the hopes which first
Frightened the enterprise, aud tho plan, which
aimed st enlarged usefulness, have not been real
lied, but We. did all that the strength and resources
at command would permit. If Providence had
granted the accomplishment Of all that was in the
heart OF the earnest lAborsr, who was willing to
endure and did sndure anxiety, toll, and sacrifice
in the cause Of education, many would have re-
joicsd and blclssd his name or him I may writc
with an honest pen, Che did what no could" But,
shall tho many unfsror.blo circumstances Of the
past, cause Us to despair Of succesai Will the
friends of this Institution cea.e to hope that it
may yet become what it was designed to be-
a blessing and an ornamen to tho Village and
'Districts True, !" the rorkmen die" but, the
work COOS on" Let this work 50 on. For my
own part, I ain more anxious than ever that this
School should do the work that is so much needed
in E~dsefeld District, and I am even moro hopeful
than eror that We may establish hero upon r. per-
manent basis, IA institution. that shall furnish at
homo every desirable facility for securing q liber-
81 education. Tho reasons for this hope, and the
method by which it may be realized, I will, with
your permission, Mr.. Editor, state at a future
time. In tho mean while, I n.k you to think on
tho subject, aud lend tho help which you so we'll
know HON to giro.
Respectfully,
L. r. GWALTNEY.

such persons for punishment as eonsp!rasors;
The Provost Marshal General had issued
neworders from Washington, Us follows:
"Provost Marshals are Informed that no

Adequate force has boon ordered By the
Government to the points where the proceed
ings have been interrupted. Provost Mar
shais will be sustained by the military f1rces
.of-tkc country in enforcing the draft III ac-
cordance with the laws of the Uritcl States,
and will proceed to execute the order hereto
fore given for the draft, al rapidly as shall
be practicable by aid of the military forces
ordered to cooperate with and protect them"
The Herald's correspondents dispatch from
Washington, dated the 18th, says: "lndica-
II Is are as thick Us leaves in Valarnbrosia
that the Government intends to carry out the
c%onscription at whatever cost. 1t is whisper.
