/ am receiving many communications in
response TO my advertisement, " Teachers
Wanted" am glad to see so much inter
est taken in the success of the Orphans
Home. / believe that in few years the In
stitution will be one of the proudest orna-
ments of the State, and of our Southern
land. Some of the best minds in the State
are interesting themselves in the enterprise,
and ere long / hope to see all minds and
hearts, and hands, earnestly engaged IN the
work of educating the sons and daughters OF
our fallen defenders.
We intended to open the school at least
by the Ist of May, proximO, but fear we
shall not be able to commence so soon as
that: perhaps not till the usual time of open
ing schools in the autumn, say the lst OF
September. 1t is no small undertaking TO
organize and put into successful operation
such an enterprise as this, especially IN times
like ours We wish to lay the foundations
deep and broad. that our work may prove
blessing to future generations as well as
the present 1t will take time, therefore, to
secure the material. and adjust to perfect
harmony the various parts OF so extensive
an institution as ours will be. We wish to
have every thing possible ready before we
commence the school, so that after the eN-
ample set before US i'll ancient times, the
noise of hammer and trOwel may not be

erect TO God and humanity.
Many inquiries are made with regard to
our purposes and plans. In answer to these
inquiries, would say, that our simple pur-
pose, for the present, is to educate, IN the
best sense of that word, as many as possible
of the sons and daughters of the brave men
who gave their lives to their country IN the
late war. Ii they are unable to iced and
clothe themselves, we propose TO do this for

sciences, but also to give them some practi-
cal knowledge of the mechanic arts and do
mestic duties of life: so that when they
leave the Institution, they will not be
thrown helpless upon the world. In word,
we propose TO make them useful men and
tcOntc1 IN society.
We need then in the first place suitable

Of the Institution one who is not only
qualified to direct the discipline and literary
instruction of such an establishment, bnt
one capable also of guiding and controlling

We need then for this position kind

practical, christian gentlemen. VINO VIII

/ A RING IDENTIFIED.-Abour a week ago,
a gentleman of this city advertised that he
had come i'll possession of Il diamond ring,
which the owner could obtain by Identity
ing the same. On Tuesday, Il lady from
Macon county, having seen the advertise
ment and being the loser of such an article,
came to the city. The next day, she called
upon the advertiser but could not describe
/ the ring sufficiently to satisfy him. She
then called in the ieweler from whom she
originally purchased it. He could not iden-
tify it without referring to his book, where
minute descriptions of all diamond rings
| sold by him We're recorded. The ring was
found so recorded with the name of the
/ lady as the purchaser, that the gentleman
! having it in possession, delivered it to her.
/ His washerwOman had taken it from the
/ finger of another negro woman who was IN
the habit of visiting her, the latter was
from the neighborhood of the lady who
claimed the ring, and had probably taken it
| from her dwelling. The ring cost between
five and six hundred dollars before the war.
