The second session OF this institution
will open on the LIST of July. General Coils
TON, the distinguished soldier and accom-
plished gentleman, who has charge of this
fine institution continues his liberal offer
of gratuitous scholarship to one young
man from each Congressional District IN
the State, and one at large, upon no other
condition than good moral character and
fair abilities, inability to pay for their tut
ton and pledge to te,tch within the limits
of the State for one year after graduation.
Many of our people, especially our noble
aud patriotic ladies, are devotinG much of
their time and energies to charities connect
| ed It'll one way or other with The hcroIc
dead of tho late war and their needy and
deserving survivors showing I; worthy and
commcndable gratitude to those who staked
all upon the issue and lost. We are the
last persons to advise neglect of tho dead
or forget our obligation 10 protect and per
petuate their memories, but We should not
be deaf to the appeals Of the living The
men who fought and died III the service OF
the Confederate States have left upon the
charity of their survivors q charge which
we should not forget OF refuse to accept
Their children must not be permitted 70
grow up IL ignorance unable even I" read
of the heroic and noble struggle their fathers
made for them-ior Us
The offer which General CobsroA makes
furnishes an opportunity of educating
seven or eight Of the orphan sons ct Con
federate soldiers, at rates easily within the
reach of any organized society without III
| frlnginG upon the means accumulated Tor

concert or other exhibition, or enc days
individual efforts of the ladies ct the Memo

enough to board and ti"the one scholar Tor
this Congressional District Tor one year ut
the Academy. Once there til" small
amount OF funds required yearly /" retain

! What is true of Wilmington Is equally 50
OF dozens OF other towns III the state.
Ii by these small efforts live or SiA young
men could be kept at the Academy, who
