ARMED AND EQUIPPED.

We are pleased to announce that the corps
ofcadets of Kings Mountain Military School,
at this place, have recently been equipped
with cadet muskets the most approved pat.
tern, together with all the necessary accou-
trements. The guns arrived on Saturday
last, were issued to the cadets on Monday,
and are now being used in the regular drill
of the school. They are quite an acquisition
to the institution, and we congratulate the
principal, officers and cadets, upon the arri'
val of what has so long been a desderatum.
We have before taken occasion to lay be-
fore the public some of the claims of Kings
Mountain Military School, and therefore
deem it needless to add anything at this time.
As a military college of high grade, under the
management of a faculty whose ability and
experience insure success, it is entitled to a
place among the first educational institutions
in the South.
THE YORKvILLE FEMALE COLLEGE.
At meeting of Bethel Presbytery, held in
the Presbyterian Church at this place, on last
Tuesday evening, the prospects of the College
we're freely discussed. The Board of Trus
tees reported, in substance, that the plan Of
relieving the College of its Indebtedness by q
sale of scholarships had proved unsuccessful
and recommended that Presbytery encourage
the formation of stock company, to which
should be conveyed the property of the Col
lege, upon such company assuming its liabili
ties.
After some discussion, it was determined
with great unanimity, that upon the formation
of stock company of individuals represent
ing not less than sixty shares, at one hundred
dollars per share, Presbytery would, upon
such company assuming the debt, resign its
control over the College. 1t further author
lied the Trustees to convey the same, when
ever such company is organized with the re-
quisite capital the College, however, to re
main under Presbyterian influence.
The actual amount necessary to be raised
to extinguish the debt and purchase the
building, grounds and personal property, viii
be about S., 500. Encouraging assurances o.
the success of the scheme were given, and il
is to be hoped that the patrons of the institu
tion will not forget that something more thar
mere paper resolves are necessary to restore
it to its former vigor and usefulness.
