experienced an i able James Bates. Iarrived on the

already there and the roads appro1imating at the
School House throngod with others coming. | was
immediately invited to the front and seated the
stand, where could patiently observe all that trans-
pred In the audience upon the stage. The stand
occupied by the teacher was elevated and in its rear
was large Blackboard for the use Of classes in
Grammar and Arithmetic, while upon the rightwa.
beautiful Banner, inscribed " We Must Educate -
and upon the left was another more perfect and
beautiful than the one upon the right inscribed :
Our Countrys Hope" Mr.. Bates was examining
class of very intelligent looking young ladies in the
art of good reading after which followed classes in
Grammar, Arithmetic, Geography, etc. ETC.. and
finally as noon approached were informed that
while the school entertained with music vocal and
instrumental, dinner would be prepared, and the
music rose with its voluptuous swell" and the
suliness the huge crowd proved clearly the truth

Its luscious load. Boiled hams, turkeys. chickens
were few of the meats, biscuit. pies, custards and
cake, were few of the kinds of breadstuf besides
ihls we had jelies, butter, sauce, milk, coffee, etc
could not help notice the kindness shown toward
the large number of white men present-they were
invited cordially, individually and collectively and

OF the country ten years ago and now aptly showed
the Importance Of encouraging their children in their
studies and supporting their teacher. After Prof
Roper Mr.. Bates thanked the patrons and friends
for their uniform kindness to him during the session
said they had not thrown straw in his way but
had come promptly up upon every emergency
thank ed Prof. Rosser for his encouraging remarks
and the ladies for their good dinner.
Taking all things in consideration, ! never saw

saw people more quiet and better behaved and
never saw as many people Of nation, kindred or

persons flocked there. Hon. James Ashley

down Mr.. Grecley's running conversation
with Ashley, his report of which certainly
contains more truth than consolation for the
Administration people.

scrptions to the campaign fund from these
banks and they subscribe to pay for the loan.

and valued friend, to give up DR.. Dawne. We
had learned to love him on account of his
many excellent qualities, and to value him as
a most excellent minister of the Gospel,
though his stay with us has been only for n
few months. DR., Dawne will carry with him
the love and respect of this whole communi-
ty. and his church which he has served 80
faith fully, will part with him with the deep
est regrets, that his stay has been so short

We had the pleasure of visit yesterday from Gen

Kirby Smith aud himself. At the end of the last
term more than two hundred and fifty students were
enrolled on the register of the collegiate department
for the year We trust that his efforts in Arkansas
may be attended with their deserved reward This
institution is no less worthy of the support Of our
people than the colleges of Virginia, which, owing
to the personal popularity of their presiding officers
Kirby smith is well and kindly remembered in the
trans Mississippi department, " and Gen. John
son reaped no les. fame the now classic fields of
Virginia Both are distinguished graduates of West
Point, and as educators Of youth they have no SUI
perors: We speak whereof we know with regard to
Gen. johnson. Some twenty years have passed
since saw him as we crossed for the last time the
threshold of Ina mater. Time seems scarcely to
have left mark upon him, except by the addition
of little weight to his soldierly form Many gradu-
ates and students of the University and of the Wes
tern Military institute merged with it, reside in Ar
kansas, and wo trust will lend their aid towards
influencing the support of the old school. Railroad
communication to Nashville is reduced to two DAYS
and we may consider this as almost home insttu-
ton now. The announcement of the university for
the next scholastic year will be found in our advor-
