L. S. N1cKERsoS, EsQ.-It will be seen'b
an advertisement in our paper, that our
enterprising fellow-citizen and prince of
hotel keepers has spread himself consider
ably, having, besides running his excellent
hotel III this city, purchased the "Plant-
ers,' in Augusta. He has beaten tho ma
nagers of the Columbia and Augusta Rail-
road, and will be ready to spread a banquet
at either end of their road, when they have
jubiiation in honor of it's completion. We
trust that Mr.. Nickerson will have his
usual success in the management of his
new enterprise.
CoRREcT1oN.-Wo are truly glad to cor
rect an erroneous statement made in yes-
terday's PhTnir, in reference to the Ursu-
line Convent and Academy. We were led
into the error by the information furnished
by Il contemporary. They were invited BY
the Bishop of Mobile to establish branch
institution in Tuscaloosa, and two of the
teachers have gone there for that purpose.
The Convent, we arc pleased to state, is to
remain at its present location, Vala Crucis
We hope it may continue to receive that
patronage which it so richly merits.

dents, are not liable to have loafers in the
counting-roO smoking their employers
cigars during his absence, and last, per-
haps not least, don't spend his money
playing billiards. drinking, or driving fast
horses.
These are very good recommendations,
and we can see no good reason why we'll
educated young women, who have their
own labor solely to depend on for sup
port, or who may have been deprived OF
former means and resources by the late
war, should not fill such situations as
bool-keepcrs.
