A MOurnfuI Gathering.
j. L. POWER,
Secretary.

We were among those present yesterday
at a meeting held by the faculty and the
students of the Dolbear Commercial College,
called for the purpose of expressing, by
speeches and resolutions, sympathy at the
irreparable loss which our common country
has sustained in the death of General Lee.
The students, the great majority of whom
are of Southern birth, were, as we Judged
from the gloomy look they wore, bowed
down with grief at the great sorrow that
has come over our people; and we noticed
many youthful eye moistened with tears.
After the students, to the number of about
one hundred, had assembled, the meeting
was called to order by Prof. +. b. Mum,
Mr.. Jackson eagle acti.g as Secretary
Prof. Dolbear, in some appropriate and
happily conceived remarks, explained the
object of the meeting, and offered the fol-
lowing resolutions:
Whereas, 1t has pleased Almighty God
to take from among us one of the noblest
and best of our citizens, and it is the duty
of all honorable men, to pay a tribute TO the
memory of the great and the good;
Be it resolved by the Faculty and Stu
dents of this College, That we have learned
with profound regret of the death of that
matchless hero, spotless patriot, model cti-
zen and devoted Christian. Gen. Robert e.
Lee, late President of Washington College,
Virginia, by whose death the country has
lost its brightest beacon light, our youth
their purest guide, science its noblest devo-
tee, and mankind its most loved friend.
Resolved, That we extend our deep and
heartfelt coincidence to the family of the
noble deceased, and join our sorrows with
the faculty and students OF Washington
College.
Resolved, That copy of these proceed
ings be sent to the family of the deceased
and to Washington College.
The resolutions were una nimously adop-
ted, and as a token of respect to the memory
of the illustrious dead the college was CLOSED
for the day.

TRAVELLERS ATTENTION Persons
going north will find it to their advantage
to procure tickets by the SHORT LINE route.
This road runs from Louisville, KY, to Gin
cinnati, Ohio, south fthe Ohio river. 1t is
entirely new. having been finished within
the last two years, and its rolling stock is as
fine as can be found upon any road in the
United States. Four daily trains run each
way, and being much shorter than any
other to the North and East, as its name
implies. it makes at least six hours quicker
time than any route between New Orleans
and New York.

We clip from the New Orleans Times the
following notice of one of our advertisers:
We acknowledge a decided leaning to-
ward new goods, and therefore took much
pleasure in the diplay we saw at Capt. B.
L. Washes yesterday, embracing elegant
children's suits, such as Harvard, Lafayette,
knickerboeker, Bismark, and sailor styles.
with beautiful little overcoats to match in
fact everything for the outfit of boys and
children, including undershirts, socks, etc.
In his assortment he has stylish suits for
cherub of two and half years, and the
more useful school clothes for those of
twelve or fifteen years, with the intermed-
ate grades and sizes. While there we saw
some boys being fitted out for school, and
from their looks of pride and satisfaction,
we anticipate that their progress in their
studies will be such as to amply repay their
loving parents outlay. What we saw in
children's clothing was, however, mere
ch2d's play to the splendid stock of mems
goods that Capt. Walshe has just opened,
such rs shirts of his own make, Cartwright
and Warmers celebrated English underwear,
endless variety of neck ties and collars, all
kinds of toilet articles, perfumery, soaps,
hair brushes, combs and jewelry, both pla-
ted and real gold, which are largely used
now in gentleman's toilet owing to the
present fashion ofmaking shirts. We would
recommend those who wish to see really
fine and well selected stock of goods TO call
on Capt. b. L. Walshe, No. ITO Canal street.

MuRFEE's SUB-SoIL Prov. Prof. +.

MURFEE's SUB-SoIL PLow.-Prof. +.
w. Hilgard, says ofthis popular Plow:
sOf the many subscribers heretofore in
use, few or none could be properly said to
perform satisfactorily with single team,
owing TO the great resistance encountered;
while the performance of the operation in
ground not entirely free from roots, was al
most sure to result in breakage the imple-
ment, and severe shocks to the shoulders of
the team.
The sub-soilerlately patented and brought
out by j. w. Murfee, OF Virginia, seems to
reduce the resistance to the minimum COM
patible with actual loosening of the SOIL
which it accomplishes very eifectually
differing from the common mole pillow used
for understanding, to which it otherwise
bears most resemblance. Its solid pyramid
al point encounters less resistance than
rounded ones, because of the formation of
two large, distinct cracks dividing the fur
row slice in three portions which readily
give way to, and arc pulverized by the ad-
vancing wedge, oflong taper form. This is
connected with the plow-beam by strong
cutter-shaped iron, of peculiar convex
curve, whereby the implement is prevented
from bringing up with a jerk against any
root that will yield to horse power, but will
cut through many which would resist any
ordinary straight edge CUTTER
Planters visiting the city of New Orleans
are requested to call and examine the Pillow.

Read what the New Orleans Times says
of the most popular Commercial College in
the South:
GA CAsF-PAYINa EDUcATIoN.-Every
youth should be prepared to make his own
living and not depend on his parents or the
public for support after he is of suitable age.
We are informed that of all the numerous
graduates of Dolbear Commercial College,
Nos. 164 and 166 Canal street for the past
thirty-eigh years, that not one is out of
profitable employment,and that not one has
ever become pauper or criminal. Here
then is the resu 1t Of a thoroughly practical
education. Every parent and every citizen
has direct interest in having this system
impaired to all our youths. Liberal ar
rangements will now be made with all who
apply Immediately"

GAIT HOUsE.--We call attention to
the card of this famous hotel, which appears
in to-days issue. There is no hotel in the
Southern States, and we may say in the
United States, that surpaSses it in the ele-
gance and completeness of its appointments.
Indeed they are but few that equal it. 1t is
under the management of Col. Jilson P
johnson, who while Ire is courteous and po-
lite to all of the guests of the GAIT HOUSE,
takes particular pleasure in making all
Southerners feel at home while under his
charge. We would not feel that we had
done the GAIT justice if We did not add that
there is no cleverer gentleman or attentive
clerk than Mr.. Murphy, who has charge of
its Office. Guests will find that he is always
ready to oblige them.

4 tewPoints fer the People.

Thc Lancaster Ledger says:
"Goveraor Scott told one Of the elcc
ton commissioners in this county just
herrre the recent Congressional election,
that If Republican was not elected the
managcrs wrre to blame. Said he: y
have appointed the commissioners. The
commissioners hive the appointment Of
the managers. If the managers DON'T
COUNT THE VOTES RIGHT, I'm not to
blame
An honest confession is good for the
soul. And this is one Of the grounds
upon which this iniQutous party builds
its hope Of success, the tide may indeed
turn in fasor Of the Reform movement,
but they feel secure in being able to
manipulate. We shall see, what we shall
see. In the meantime, it is we'll to let
the people know how barcfaccd the ring
is.
One Of the policy plans again is tho
non enforcement Of the payrnen: Of taxes
until the election is over The good
governor would not distress his dear col.
ored friends and hoped for voters with
the payment of taxes now, because
it might alicnatc their affections, he
would not be just the "Saciour"-as he
was recently called by colorcd citizen
Of fNcwbcrry-ii he made them ante nr
now. Oh, no. after the election, when
he will have no more use for them, then
he will send out his tax xgathcrers he
will need money about that time for in.
ci!cntal expenses Miss Rollins will need
few hundreds, and his lieutenants the
same Joseph. of Laurcns, no doubt will
have q small bill for services rendered
and we might 90 on, but it is unncces,
sary. 1t is plain and notorious that the
taxes must and will come. The colorcd
people vii! not be hoodwinked in this
matter.
The Camden correspondent Of the
News, says:
"Thc chairman Of the board Of county
commissioners carried 10 Columbia a
colorcd man to place him in the Asylum.
When be was carried to tine Asylum, he
was refused permission 10 enter, because
the county could not pay $50, the semi
annual puylDen, required ty the Asy lum
laws. The unfortunate man was brought
to this place, handcu!Tej, and thrown in
TO the Jail, as we were Informed by the
said chairman. But the question arises,
why is not the county able to pay in ad.
vance the susn required for a pauper lu.
natc? Because Governor Scott has for.
hidden the collection Of taxes until after
the election and so this unfortunate
lunatic, with no crime upon him, and
for no fault Of his own, is thus denied
the benefits Of an institution, begun and
reared for just such cases as this. This
