This institution, previously known as Slate
| Spring Seminary, has been incorporated, and
vested with full collegiate authority under
| the above name.
We invite attention to some of the peculiar
| features OF the institution:
| l. 1t is Independent of any endowment
| from State, Church or Joint Stock Company.
| The members of the Incorporation are all
teachers, who donate their income to the col
| lege. In this way our success depends en-
tirely upon patronage; our patronage
| depends upon the work of the teachers. The
| teachers work not for salaries, but TO build
up the school The most faithful work is
| therefore guaranteed.
z. Our government is not tyranny, fetter-
! ing the independence of students and render
ing them servlle and vicious. Students are
trusted unreservedly, and with full conf
dence to their HONOR; they prove true and
| Trustworthy; they govern themselves. This
! system of government not only promotes per-
| feet harmony and untiring energy but il de-
| velOpes manly independence, high-tened
honor and an answering integrity that is so
much needed in high places.
3. The institution is uncomprOmsingly de-
voted to the dignity and purity of Southern
society and Southern honor; to the indcpend-
ence of Southern manhood, and the unrivalled
excellency of Southern womanhood. We do
not propose to meddle with politics. but the
efforts of a certain class of educators to de-
stroy every Vestige of respect for Southern
character must be met. 1t is the legitimate
business of our schools to grapple with these
nefarious designs with all the influence they
can WELD, and this institution, for one will
ATTEND TO ITS BUSINESS. 1t may incur the
prejudices of some, but these can secure the
services of MASSACHUSETTS SCHOOL MARMs."
A. We have only one grade of Diplomas,
which students can obtain only by MERITINo
them. The course OF study is thorough but
there is no specified time allotted for its com
pletion Some can complete il in four years
some in less time, and some would require
century. There Is no reason in assigning the
same task, for the same time, to students diff
fering in mental ability and application. 1t
is uni ust to retain the good student an un-
reasonable time for the sake of his money or
his influence. 1t is humbuggery to grant di-
plomas to the undeserving because they re-
main FOUR YEARS AND PAY THEIR MONEY.
The Second Annual Term will begin Sent
1st, 1873.
TUITION:
Literary Department, from $40 to $25 per
session
Music Department, So per month use of

rangement is made.

DEATH OF DR.. KNArP-Dr. S. c..
Knapp died at his residence near Bolton,
on Thursday last. after a protracted illness,
from consumption. His remains were
brought to Jackson by Friday morning s
train, and the funeral took place from the
PRESBYTERIAN church. DIR. Knapp was for
about thirty years, citizen of jackson, but
removed from here few years since-de-
clining health compelling him to abandon
his profession. He was useful, public
spirited citizen, and a most agreeable gem
tleman. For many years, member of the
Masonic fraternity, the Sir Knights of Mis-
sisslppi Commandcry, No. l, escorted the
remains to their last resting place, deposit
ing them by the side of
Loved ones who had gone before

We don't believe that the business Of
the State requires an addition to the pa
pei, currency Natural causes will and
are relieving the stringency Cotton is
going on just as fast as the prices in the

crease of currency will only induce specu-

But above all it will be most unfortu-
nate that South Carolina, with its bonds
selling for q mere nominal price-rulcd

should now put more paper on the, mar

ther to destroy confidence, and prevent ar

placing it Oh IN honest and living basis,
which we hope is honestly intended.
We tear that such an issue!wlll be re-
garded with so much doubt by business
men as to destroy utterly the prospects
of the least possible good it might do. 1t

The President Orders Prayers.

| On Tuesday of last week. President
Grant and Secretary Fish issued a procla-
nation decreeing that Thursday the 9th
of November should be set apart to be
observed as day of thanksgiving by;all
the loyal and faithful throughout the land.
In order that our readers may know what
it is that they are expected to be thankful
for we subjoin the full text Of the procla-
nation zai
By the President Of the United States
Il Proclamation 1{
The approaching closing of.another year
brings with it the occasion for renewed
thanksgiving and acknowledgment to the
Almighty Ruler OF the Universe, of the
unnumbered mercies which he has bestow-
ed upon us Abundant harvests have
been among the rewards of industry. With
local exceptions health has been among
the blessings rejoiced ill., Tranquility at
home and peace with other nations have
prevailed Frugal industry is regaining
its merited recognition and its merlted re-
wards Gradually, but under the provl-
dence Of God, surely as we trust, the ma
tion is recovering from the lingering re-
suits of dreadful civil strife For these
and all other mercies vouchsafed, it be-
comes us as people to return heartfelt
and grateful acknowledgements, and with
our thanksgiving for the blessings we may
unite prayers for the cessation oil local and
temporary sufferings l, therefore, recon-
mend that on Thursday, the 9th day Of
November next, the people meet in their
respective places of worship, to make their
acknowled gments to Almighty God for
His protection and to offer to Him prayers
for their continuance. In witness where
of, have hereunto set my hand, and
caused the seal OF the United States to be
affixed. Done at the city of Washington,
this l4th day of October. IN the year OF
our Lord one thousand eight hundred and
seventy three, and Of the independence OF
the United States, the ninety-seventh.
