TO THE PATRONS OF
UNION FEMALE COLLEGE,
OXFORD, MISS,
And to Others Having Daughters
to Educate.

VNHE authorities OF this College have earn
Il estly endeavored to afford to patrons 8
school Tor young ladies free from all unres-
sonable objections and in which may be found
choice facilities for cultivating the intellect
and heart of woman.
By the blessings of kind Providence, suc-
cess has crowned the effort-ths Institution
for years having been justly numbered among
the best. A choice patronage, which has
steadily increased, and never more rapidly
than during the last year, attests its worth.
The buildings are in good repair and the
rooms neatly furnished.
While the essential Departments OF Iitera.
ture and Science are of the highest grade, the
special schools of Music and Painting are
eminently attractive, and commanding the
attention of the lovers OF the Fine Arts The
school OF French is also a SucceSs-betng con-
Quoted by an accomplished lady of European
birth and education.
In view of these facts, believing that the
prosperity of the College does not depend
upon my longer continuance in the Presi-
dency, and wishing to devote my undivided
attention to the ministry, L have felt con-
strained to resign. PROF. K. J. GUTHRIE,
recently member OF the Faculty of the Mis-
sissippi University, and formerly Professor of
Mathematics in this College, has been chosen
by the Board OF Trustees as my successor. He
is cordially commended as a Christian gen.
whose care you may confidently commit your
daughters. l earnestly advise you to do so,
feeling assured he viii perform the RESPONSE
bic and delicate duties of President with
fidelity and success.
Mrs. Bell and l will remain in the College
for the present-Mrs. Bell continuing to Of
ficiate as Lady-Principal unless a Guccessor of
experience and efficiency in that Department
is secured.
Next session will open September 10, 1873.
Apply to President Guthrie for Catalogues.

the legislatures of the States of Ken
tucky. Tennessee and Mississippi be
like to consent 10 the dismemberment?
We doubt it very much. And then,
suppOsing that the vote is ordered, will
two-thirds of the people in each of the
three fractions to be cut of vote for the
project? We have heard as yet no argu-
ment in favor of the new State, only
that il would make a fine prosperous
one, and add star to the national flag.
The argument Is rather attenUated, not
to quote Shakespeare, aud say "too
thin.n 1t is true that if the new State
is formed it will have a State capital,
statehOuse, and other public buildings.
1t will have legislators aud congress-
men, as now, but will add two United
States senators. It will have a COVER
nor and full corps Of State officials, say
in all about five hundred, and it is
equally true that the people of this new
State will have the privilege of patriot
ically paying for all of these nice things.
AS TO where the good Of the thing is to
come in, that is what the people and
the authorities will expect the Jackson
convention to show. We frankly ac-
knowledge that 1--WE canUOt see it yet.
Fr-.4 the Nashville Bannerl
Nobody believes that congress would
.ve serious consideration to petitions
from West Tennessee and contiguous
fsu. les in adjoining States to be con-
S ted into q new State. The people
a. tie iaIgs States of the north will be
T. Jly jealous of the power of more
sn aH States, and the people of the
.sOLtlern States, who are eaten up with
tax on, do not desire to increase the
number OF office-hOldeTs. A few years
back a similar proposition was can
vassed at Washington, TO make a new
State out of Western North Carolina
and East Tennessee. A writer to the
Knoxville Chronicle. VINO canvassed the
measure in Washington, says he was
surprised to find what little encourage
ment It received. Nearly every promi-
nent, thoughtful senator and representa-
tive very decidedly but kindly said it
stood no chance of success. East
Tennessee then received special Tecogni-
ton at Washington, but its efforts at in
as a separate State met with
few well-wishers. We think, therefore,
that our friends in West Tennessee are
wasting their time in talking about a
new State. The same efforts directed
toward more fraternally uniting in SYM
pathetic bonds of the three divisions of
Tennessee would be more commendable
and profitable,
