Our SCHooLs.-Only one
week from next Monday there
will open in Winchester four
important agencies for instil-
ling into the mind Of youth the
subtle and important truths Of
human science. To US Win
chestcrians this is an epoch Of
more than ordinary Importance,
and really it should be a matter
of grave interest to all lovers
oftruth and science everywhere.
We havetwo female and two
male schools, which cannot be
excelled any where in this
Union, if in the civilized world,
and it is natural we should feel
thrill of pride--humble, sub
dued p%ridc-when we reflect
upon the immense advantages
and privileges we enjoy, even
in the estimation of the ripest
scholars, in an educational
point ofview.
We see no reason why Win
chester should not become as
famous in the annals of history
as an Oxford or Yale. Certain
it is, we have all the elements
here to build up a worldwide
reputation, (and indeed it is al
ready as wide as our Union
now.)
LIST. We are located in the
temperate zone, on a bench OF
the great range of the Cum
berland mountains, and are
therefore blessed with pure va
ter and purer air.
I'd. The crops this season
promise to be abundant, and
the ,,rice of board will certain
" be reducedto SIG per month,
including washing, fuel, &c.
Sd. We have as good teach
ers as can be found amyvhere-
honest, capable, Industrious,
and possessing the peculiar tact
of imparting knowledge to
others.
With all these advantages,
in a retired place, what is to
hinder this from becoming the
Oxford of the South
We look forward with pleas
ING anticipations to the time
soon to arrivc-when our little
mountain city will be gladdened
and enlivened by the presence
orthe beauty and intelligence
of our whole country, North
and South.
We can honestly and sincere
w extend an invitation to the
youth of our country, who are
thirsting after knowledge, to
come to this quiet, peaceful, ru-
raj village, and drink freely of
the waters that flow, unrestrain-
ed, from this pierian spring,
which never dries up, nor
ceases to impart life, he; 18th and
pleasure TO all who delight to
tread it's rugged banks.
Here you are free from many
! temptations of a more populous
or less retired place.
Here you are never subject
to any such alarming diseases
os the cholera or small pox, or
even the chills and fevers. We
venture the assertion that there
is not a more healthiul town in
the wide world.
But what's the use to multi
ply words? Everybody knows
the superior advantages for ed
ucation Of our toWn, and every
| body apl rebates them by send
ins their bright-eyed beauties
here to qualify them for the
solemn and awful responsible
ties of this, as we'll as the future

ten months sued Mr. y. for $SljO. a. admit

the Judge informed him the court would be

Who Can Beat Thisl

Get. E. II. YouNGBBooD, who lives but mile
out Of town. and who is said to have the hest crop
in the District, sent US on sfonuny last large
Bouquet Of Cotton Blooms. In it there were seven
ful-blown fiowers-somc Of them already blood
red-and buds innumerable Tor should we say
squares-or forms ?? upon the verge of bursting.
The red ones had opened on the 9th or 2Sth Of
June. Upon many stalks among Capt. YouNG-
BLooD's cotton, may already be counted from 26
to ~ forms for blooms. Who-among you old
farmers, way out on your big plantations-can
beat this? But VIC can explain the secret Of this
wonderfully promising cotton. 1t is that Capt.
YouSGBLooD, though he graduated at Princeton,
and was soon after admitted to tho bar, has put
aside old things, and applied his own shoulder 10
the whccl-and his own hand to the hoe hclvc aud
the plough handle. A very wise course. And
when thousands of other Southern men, with just
the same sort of anteccdents, do the very same
thing, the country will be in vastly better con-
dit:cn. Niggers arc gone. Foreign laborcrs have
not come. Big pig, little pig, root hog or die"

upon our citizens the importance Of going

Ftom Mexico.

New ORLEAES, June 90.
The Austrian steam sloop oi-war arrived at
Southwest Pass this morning and landed o
telegraphic dispatch for the Austrian Govern
meut. Her national ensign was draped in
deep mourning. This and the fetcence of
her officers, is sufficient; they, however, re-
port the city of Mexico captured by the Libe
rails, on the 10Th inst. The particulars had
not reached Vera Cruz mp to the time Of
sailing.
The Mexican schooner Alta also arrived at
the mouth of the Mississippi this morning,
having on board twenty-four exiled imperial
lists (Mexicans), who had been peremptorily
banished. Among them are several military
officers. They report that Santa Anna was
transferred to the American steamer Virginia,
ct Vera Cruz, and conveyed tu Sisal. On ar
irving there the Mexican gunboat demanded
the person of Santa Anna, which was refused,
when the Mexicans threatened to fire upon
the Virginia. The captain told them they
could take him by. force, he was not armed,
and then spread the American ensign on the
gangway. The Mexicans trod on the flag,
seized Santa Anna, and thrust him into their
boat, took him to Campeachy and confined
him as prisoner of war. Campeachy is in
the hands Of the Liberals, who are shooting,
hanging and cxpelling Imperial sympathisers

The Glorious Fourth.

Ninety-onc years ago on the Sth of Juno last
past, RICHARD HENRY LEE, one of the deputies
from Virginia, rose and made motion to declare
America free and independent; and accompanied
the same with an eloquent speech. The further
consideration of the subject was then adjourned
to the first of the following July.
On the arrival of the day assigned, the subject,
was resumed, and on the 4h Of July l77G, NINETY
ono years ago tomorrow upon the report OF
Thomas i Jefferson, John Alams, Benjamin Frank
lin, Roger Sherman, and Philip Livingston, tho
thirteen Confederate colonies dissolved their al
lcsiance to the British crown, and declared them
selves Free and Independent, under the name OF
the Thirteen United States of America.
This declaration was signed by all the members
that composed that Congress, and was received
by the people with transports OF JOY Public re-
ioicings took place in almost all parts Of the
Union. In all the States, and in none perhaps
excelled by South Carolina the e1ultation exceed

Lite WAS it thought then that any portion Of
these States would ever attempt to hold South
Carolina or any other State, as " "subjugatcd ter
ri;ory.' Nincty-ono years ago! Perhaps few,
then uorn, are living still, to see the sad event.
Dark indeed was that period of the colonies,
aiaid:t want poverty and misfortuae-supportcd
by the pervading spirit of liberty, and guided by
the good hand of Provilcrcc-for nearly eight
year, sustaining the weight of cruel conflict,
upon their own soil, till at length they were vic
torous.
They became Thirteen Free, Sovereign and In
dc1cnden. States-ot Peace. a wise Government
sprang up from the blood that was split, organ
lied under the best Constitution the world ever
saw: Constitution which dispensed the choicest
political bessios IS to many millions of people down
to The period when they, or great part of them,
ceased to live in its spirit.
That Constitution has been rent and torn until
i;i, seemingly past repair. On tomorrow We
shall no., as in former years, sing a song of re-.
jp:cing. More appropriate FAR would be the sack
