Mute College (the only one in the world

lumhia Institution" in the District of Co.
lumbia. The act of incorporation was
granted in 1856. and in the following year
Mr.. NJ. Gallandct (son of the celebrated
pioneer Ill deaf mute instruction, DIR. Cal
laudct) was induced TO take charge of the
enterprise. 1t received the assistance of
Amos X endall and other prominent citi-
zens from the outset, but the marked sue
cess of the philanthropic enterprise is in a
great measure due to the untring energy
and skill of its principal, Mr. Gallaudet.-
In April 1861, Congress passed bill au-
thorizing the institution to confer degrees
i'll the arts and sciences, and in jane follow
ing the college was publicly opened, Mr..
Gallaudet being installed President. The
college has regular faculty, and provides
athorough collegiate course for the few who
by nature are adapted to become teachers
OF their kind or to gain prominent positions
In the community. Students who can
command the means are expected to pay.

ing only one hundred and fifty dollars per
annum; but lack of means will not pre-
vent persons fitted to enter the college
from doing so. as the directors. when salts
fed upon the point of pecuniary inability,
will remit the charges. The requisite de-
gree of attainment in scholarship can be
ascertained hy applying to the President
In view Of the fact that there are fifteen
thousand mutes in the country. this new
enterprise is of great Importance and de
serves the good wishes of all friends Of cd.

RELICS or \ rIGMy RACE IN TENNESSEE.
Gen. Milroy, who has been spending
much time in Smith County. in attending
to some mining and oil operations. informs
lis that while ut Waterton few days since.
he saw some remarkable graves. which
had been disclosed by the washing of Il
small creek in its passage through q low
bottom. The graves We're from eighteen
inches to two feet in length most of the
smaller size. and We're formed by an eX-
cayation about fifteen inches below the
surface. in which is placed four untrc>Sctl
slabs of rock. one in the bottom of the
pit. one OH each side. and one on top. Uu-
man skeletons, some with nearly an entire
skull and many with we'll defined bones
were found in them. The teeth were very
dminutiye, hut evidently those Of an adult;
skeletons.
Gen. Milroy could find ont nothing re-
speeding these Lilliputan graves; in con
versation with the oldest inhabitants OF
the vicinity, except that there was large
number of similar graves. perhaps thous-
ands. near Slatersvillc. in the same county.
and also a like burial ground at the mouth
of stones river. near this city. They
were examined about thirty years a%o. and
excited a good deal of comment.
These diininutiyc human skeletons seem
10 have belonged to an extinct pigmy race.
Gen. Milrey has deposited some of the
bones in the State Library.-NasheiH.
