GTFr no PRINCETON COLLEGE.

Leonard w. Jerome, of New York, has
presented to Rev. DR.. Maclean, President
Of Princeton College, $4,000 in United
States bonds, the interest of which is to be
devoted annually to the presentation of
medals to the graduating senior "who shall
be decided by his classmates to be the 6Tst
gentleman Of his class"
Mr.. Jerome, in his letter rendering the
gift to the President of the college, says:
I know you are surprised, dear Doctor,
at the novelty Of this request, but You will
be still more 80 when ] tell you that you
are the cause Of it. l have not forgotten
the remark you made upon certain ocoa-
sion to my class: "YOung gentlemen, with
all your getting, ] advise you to get little
manners" | am right, then, to offer pre-
MUM 10 carry out your views.
! think the most pressing necessity Of
Young America Just now is the article you
recommended. We have plenty of science,
and are pretty well up, considering our
years, in art; but our manners, ! must say,
are rather rough. If the trife offer shall
have the effect to stimulate the young gen.
tlemen under your charge to improvement
in this respect, / shall feel that have done
them and the country a service.
The character Of gentleman ! consider
within the capacity Of all-at least II re-
quires no extraordinary intellect. 4 due
regard for The feelings Of Others Is, in my
judgment, its foundation.

A few weeks since we adyerted 10 GER
tain lawless demonstrations in Robertson
county, and commenced in severe terms
upon the course Of the men who are par
toipating in and encouraging them. The
community Of that and neighboring
counties had been placed under the threat
Of haud.bills, secretly posted at public
places, forbidding the employment Of ne
groes as lGborerg, and the renting Of
houses % that class In one or more ms
stances. this threat had been carried into
execution, and the property Of citizen
had been fred and destroyed The al
legged perpetrators Of this felony we're
arrested, and are now confined in prison,
awaiting trial Their conduct is generally
roprobated, but Il is said that they have
an organization, and their sympathizcrs
now threaten 10 release them from the
hands Of the law by violence in this
state Of theoase,i il becomes the paramount
duty Of every awabiding citizen in the
whole range Of these depredations to set
his face against these men, and combine
10 restrain them and uphold the law and
preserve the peace
As was stated in our first notice Of this
affair, the men who are engaged in It are
characterless, and have no sympathy or
support from the mass Of the community.
We have ne knowledge OF their names or
previous history, but they are democrat
lied and desperate Ii is said that some
Of them were members Of the Confeder-
ate army; but it is generally supposed
that they are band Of thrittless, yugn-
bond characters, Of al sorts, who are
rowing the country for no good, and IN
citing trouble in order the better to pill
age and pilfer living from the honest
and industrious. The anhnosity to the
employment Of negro laboris onlya mask;
and used 10 shield themselves from the
condemnation Of former shareholders, and
10 enlist the sympathy and protection Of
the thooghtless and impulsiye portion Of
the community. We are assured that no
substantial and respectable citizen has
GIVEN encouragement to this system and
that &c is the general desire Of the people
that those engaged in it should be de-
tectsd and that acts Of violence commit
Ted. should be promptly and severely
punished
Speaking ~ o Journal, that from ats
known course in regard to all matters
connected with the rights aud interests Of
the Southern people, and as one who has
differed IN common with them, and up
held their cause through good and evil
report, we unQualifediy condemn and
