r,.nx,IIe FemaIe College.

This old and time-honored institution is
now in the midst of its long summer vaca-
tion. Its next collegiate year will begin on
the sth of September, and promises to be
more prosperous than any that has preceded
It. Mr.. w. p. KERR has had charge OF 1t
for ten years, under Board OF Trustees
that have become venerable since they as
sumed its management and control, more
than thirty years ago. Its course OF study
is most thorough and complete; no insti-
tuition of the kind in this country turns out
better or more finished scholars. Its health
record for the ten years that Mr.. KERR has
had charge of it, is very remarkable-but
one death in the College during all that
time. and the deceased in school but half
day, having contracted her disease before
she went there. Granville is one OF the
most healthy places in Ohio, and has many
advantages besides, that are not found at all
other places where Colleges and Seminaries
are located.
s@ Granville Female College teaches neither
sectarianism in religion nor fanaticism in
politics: all are left free to enjoy their own
opinions. In short, it affords the highest
educational advantages in intellectual, NOR
al. and physical culture; and we take great
pleasure In commencing it.

From Mexico.

Macmillan has had his grand reception
at the city of Mexico, and jolly time they
had of it. He was "profoundly moved by
the enthusiastic reception" and saluted the
Mexicans with the "warmth of one who
has identified his faith with theirs" At
tempts were made to cut down the triumphal
arches on the day of his reception, and it
was thought wise to keep all the troops that
the empire musters under arms all the time.
Therefore, in all the excitement OF his ar
rival in Mexico, the Emperor did not forget
that there was liberal party there, as his
proposition for conference with its leaders
Indicates. Juarez is sustained by the great
er numl er of the Mexican States. There
are nine thousand men under POrfirio DiaZ,
in Oaiaca, and five thousand under Dobla-
do, i'm New Leon. None of these men saw
the illumination, and they do not be-
lieye that MaXimilian was chosen by the
Mexican people. He proposed to Juarez
and the other leaders that they should give
up the cause of the people and take posi-
tions under the Empire; invited them to
meet him in Mexico and talk about it, and
pledged his ''faith and honor" for their
safety, He made an appeal to their emo
tions; told them how far he had come Just
to rule them; reproached them TOR what he
had left for their sakes, and ''only In oDe-
dienct to the spontaneous call OI HdIlon
which fixes in him the happiness of its tu-
ture." And he-an Emperor-there by the
spontaneous call of natlon," asks the
larger part of that nation to lay down the
arms it has taken up against him. Juarez
''admires the generosity" that drew Maxi
milan to Mexico; prOnounces the sponta-
neous call "a ridiculous farce, unworthy to
be seriously considered by an honest and de-
cent man." declares that he cannot confide in
the faith and honor of 'an agent of Napoleon
the perjured,r and announces his determine
ton to keep inviolate the oath he swore as
President of the Republic. He closes his
answer with a piece of grand calmness, re-
minding Maximilian how easy it is to be
an illustrious rogue, and how contemplate
such animals appear in history. Another
of the leaders answered the Emperor by
ordering the execution of his emissary;
but the order was not carried out. Other
accounts report the dishanding, by General
Doblado, OF the Juarist force under his
command, the simultaneous desertion of
the colors of the Republic by Gen. Uraga
along with his force, and the submission of
both Generals to the newlyfounded dynasty.

4. From The New York Heraldl
Massachusetts and Negro Eniist-
memts in the Rebel States.

The Gov. of Massachusetts, has just issued
general order, agreeable to the act oi
Congress, passed July 4, 1864, providing for
recruiting volunteers in States declared 10
be in rebellion, excepting Arkansas, Ten
nessee and louisiana. The Governor Or
ders that there shall be an agent for the re-
cruitment of volunteers to the credit OF
Massachusetts for the Department OF n ORTIZ
eastern Virginia, with his headquarters at
Washington; one for Southeastern virginia,
with his headquarters at or near fortress
Monroe; one for North Carolina, with his
headquarters at Newbern; one for South
Carolina and Florida, with his headquarters
at Hilton Head; one for Georgia, Mississip-
pi and Alabama, with his headquarters at
Nashville. Assistant provost mashals OF
the Commonwealth are appointed, who shall
hold the rank of lieutenant colonies, charg-
ed with the duty of recruitment in their re-
soectiye departments, and authorized to
employ persons to help them in 'fnding"
aud caring for recruits. A board, with the
dignifed title of Commissioners of Recruit
ment, is organized, and the whole system
has been prepared with true Yankee inge-
nuity. What does all this amount to?-
Simply this: that agents from Massachusetts,
will 90 into the districts named, under the
nav of the Commonwealth, and steal every
negro they can lay their hands on, inside
and outside the rebel lines. That is what is
meant by the term 'finding." The negroes
will pass through the coarse sieve of exam
ination, and be then duly enlisted as Uni
ted States troops, and credited to the Com
monwealth of Massachusetts,. Thus, In fu''
ture years, when Massachusetts shall claim
the credit of promptly filling her quotas OF
troops to fight the rebellion, it must be re-
membared that t is not owing to the Iatrlot-
ism of her own sons that such is the fact,
but owing to the number of wretched, ne,
groes who may be ''found" and dragged out
of the swamps and canebrakes of the South.
But Gov. Andrew has now an opportunity
to inaugurate his favorite negro policy, al,
though at great expense to the State, and
we suppose he must have fair trial. Mas
sachusetts is the first in the market for ne
gro recruits in the rebel States. What State
comes next? ....f

covered his ship with chain armor, and
then nailed planks over it, to give 1t the
a1pearance of wooden ship, while, In
fact. it was an iron-clad. After learning
thjs. we no longer wondered at the instan-
taneous promotion of Winslow. 1t was
meet and proper, and altogether in keeping
that an Infamous Government should re-
ward an infamous renegade ior perpetrat-
INC the most Infamous fraud that was ever
r,racticed upon the high seas. A reward
from Lincoln would be disgrace to any
man who was not already beyond disgrace.
Had such foul advantage been taken over
one knight by another in the days Of chiv-
airy. the perpetrator would have had his
sn,irs hacked off by the common hangman,
his arms reversed, his name stricken from
the roll of honor, and his carcase stretched
by the neck between sun and earth, until
the birds of the air had torn his eyes from
their sockets, What must be the sense o.

The laeorgia Campaign.


We once heard of doctor, by the way,
who was great in curing burns. IT pa,
tient with gore limb came to him, he h,d
only to burn the diseased part, thus bring
ing il within the line of his special practice
i'm order to make a complete cure. SO 1t is
with General Johnston. He is immense IN
retreats, and seems so well aware OF his
force, that to the uninitiated he appears
indisposed to try, under any circumstance,
either "a stand" or forward movement.
We trust, however, that the sequel Will
nroye that General Johnston Is wiser than
such of us as have commented upon his pol
lev in retreating to the front of Atlanta,
and that he may ultimately whip Sherman
as badly as General Lee will Grant when
ever and wherever he engages him In Dat
| tie.
That our readers may properly under
stand ''the situation" in Northern georgia,
we will state that the Chattahochee, river,
which General Johnston has crossed, rises
| i'm the Apalachin Mountains, in Habersham
county. Ga: flowing southwest, reaches
the border of Alabama at Miller's Bend,
from which it flows nearly south, forming
for two hundred miles, the boundary be-
tween Georgia and Alabama to Its junction
with, Flint river, with which it here unites
and forms the Apalachicola. 1t Is naviga-
bic for steamboats, two hundred and TWEEN
tv-tiyc miles above its junction with Flint
river to Columbus, Ga.
Atlanta, the point for which Sherman is
aiming, and which General Johnston is en-
deayoring to defend, was, before the war,
hourishing city in Fulton county, Ga, one
hundred and one miles northwest OF Macon,
and one hundred and seventy-one miles
west of the city of Augusta. The city was
= a., k,,t ,pntrn
of the cotton trade of that whole REGION
Since the war it has grown rapidly in
wealth and population, and is now not only
the largest city in North Georgia, but ranks
among the first in the State.
The following dispatch is found in the
Richmond papers Of the 10th:
ATLANTA, Wednesday, July 13.
The enemy are massing on our right near
Roswell. A portion of the Yankee army
are on the south side Of the Chattahoochee.
Sherman's headquarters are near Vinlng
| Station. Skirmishing coatinues near the
railroad bridge. Everything is quiet be-
| low.
The Atlanta Confederacy has the follow
ing: ea,.,
| security our readers by the declaration that
Atlanta is not in imminent danger and peril.
Its capture, however, cannot be considered
foregone conclusion"
If Gen. Johnston cannot make success
full battle or hold the enemy in check along
the Chattahoochee he cannot anywhere be-
low it, and the only temporary check in that
event would be the capture of Atlanta, pur-
posely thrown at the feet of the rapaclous
| invaders, to stay their appetite for conquest.
| We have no doubt that the Federal Cen
eral would be satisfied with the capture of
Atlanta and garrison, and fortify 1t as base
for future operations.
