Philosophical Plan.

!.
In this Seminary we have been led to adopt
the PhiIosophic plan of each Professor and his
class deyoting their whole time and energies to
a single study, until completed. We have been
led TO this by seeing so many students
dishearteRed, or rendered superficial, by being
required to carry forward three or four studies
at the same time. Then each Professor was re-
quired to hear so many recItations and the time
was SO broken up that it was out OF the question
to give each subject and each pupil the required
attention. In introducing this method We eX-
pected to be able to make our classes much more
thorough and practical, but not only are We
succeeding beyond our expectations IN this par
ticular, bull we are accomplishing great deal
more In the same time, as well as doing II much
better. In graduating, one-third of the time
and expense is saved, matter OF great consider
alton to every one. After thoroughly mastering
the Common Branches, students complete the
as heretofore required; devoting three months
to Algebra, two to Geometry, and two to Chem
istry, and one month each TO all the other stud
les. Our course Is null and practical, and the
time allotted to each study enable us to do vast
ly more with it than is usually done. We ex-
plain this on the principle, that men show the
greatest results in a given time when they de-
vote their whole energies to one thing IL has
been claimed that students devoting their whole
time 10 one study would become weary bn we
lind instead of this being true, that the student
having an OPPORTUNITY TO coRcen trsIe his whole
energies upon one subject, succeeds, and as a
result of his success. an enthusiasm is awaken-
ed, before unknown in schools: the student he
comes genuine Philosopher in search of truth.
New Studies are commenced monthly, at which
time students can enter and remain as long as
desired. Glasses for Fall and early Winter will
be formed September 18th, October I2th, and
November 9Th. a class will commence Algebra,
November 9Th, and go regularly through with
Mathematics. By our plan We propose 10 make
this more thorough class than any ever con-
Quoted on the old system. Those wishing TO
enter it, would do well to engage rooms soon-
The department of Music and Painting are
now offering the very best advantages.
The Ladies' Ornamental Course is short, but the
most practical and useful. All is left cut that
will not De practfced in woman's appropriate
sphere. Ana they are made so thorough, and
such love OF science is induced that they will
carry 1t into and adorn every department ofIife:
and not as is too frequently DONE lay 1t all aside
as soon as they graduate.

Let us peep in just before dinner. The
immense hall, capable of comfortably seat
inr at table about 200 people, fairly CHS.
tons with china, silver, and the worries OF
smiling walters. But you have scarcely
time to admire ere the colored brigade 10
mustered, the roll called, and the column
headed with regular step to the Kitchen.
Soon they return with smoking vlands, the
doors arc thrown open. and the guests ME
in. each one having his own seat, ana an
being seated and waited on with as little
confusion ne if in small dining-room with
only thirty persons present. BY using the
round table the guests are enable to dlYlde
off into parties, which makes each meal n
season Of pleasant chit-chat.
As for the bill of fare, | will only sny
that the Peytons are daily charging the
reputation they have won ut the Virginia
Hotel. in Staunton, before the war. There
is nothing that this fruitful region or the
markets of the cities affords which you DO
not find served up in style which would
make Zctelle's mouth water. | have heard
epicurcs who have travelled great deal
bestow the most unqualified praise upon
the table of the White Sulphur, and Will
only add (not in the language OF extraya-
CANT puff" but in sober TRUTH that L
have never sat down to such q table.
The number of guests is now about. SOO:
There have been up to the present 4,3oo
arrivals-more than twice the number last
season. The largest number OF guests at
one time was about ZOO.
The company is exceedingly sociable and
pleasant, and will probably be more SO as
the crowd diminishcs. The cottage system
enables families or parties to have as much
quiet as they may desire. And, by the
way, they have now the most ample accom-
modations for all who may come, and Sep
TENDER will probably be the most pleasant
month of the season to all who may spend
it here. But enough for to-day. More to-

Your correspondent has been soiourning

have never known people so patient and
forbcaring towards villains who ceasclcssly
work to perfect their ruin as they are. The
most honest creature in all the land, by his
own showing, is Turkey, the carpet-bagger
and incendiary, who has sounded the depths
of negro credulity, and, for selfish ends,
artfully led the deludcd creatures into an
attitude of hostility against their true
friends. \ paraphrase OF Macaulays SEN

thing in human shape without touching o

The unprecedented drought has been ter

with prayer, treated the audience, which
was large and apprcciatiyc, 10 some of the
hest vocal music to which our countymcn

pronounced decided success. At it's close

hearty goodwill, gave MIR. Eye II rising vote
