T1oN.-The monument proposed to be
erected by the women of South Caro-.
lima, in memory OF their gallant dead in
the late Confederate war, has been de-
layed in its completion by want of the

the distinguished architects, Muldoon &
Co., of Kentucky, who are proceeding
with the monument, which, when
finished, will be noble and beautiful

requisite that SIS, 900 shall be raised By
Oesober next, to complete this sum OF

HURRICANE, MISS, Feb. 4, 1874.
"a, Editor or The Ne,c Nationat Era:
DEAR SIR: a few days since l accepted
an opportunity to visit Alcom University, the
scat of learning set apart for the colored
Youths of this State, found the institution
!, such good working order and so we'll
managed that can not refrain from express
inc il in the columns Of your paper, for the
hruefit Of those who are interested in our
educational advancement. The location of
the University is admirable and healthy, its
buildings are spacious and in excellent repair,
the buildings consist Of the presidents house,
which is neatly furnished, a refectory, two
large brick buildings, used rs dormitories, two
beautiful literary halls, two stories high, a
ine chapel, sufficiently large to seat nine
hundred persons, and several smaller build
:aSs used for various purposes. The recita-
ion rooms are in the basement of the chapel,
.hcv ere well furnished and present a neat
and attractive appearance. There is also an
orchard OF five hundred fruit trees, and farm
consisting of two hundred and thirty acres,
belonging to the institute. The farm is cul-
tiyated thoroughly, last year it afforded a
penary crop of sweet potatoes, and corn
enough to serve all purposes of the institu-
ton so you see that industry and intelligence
are there combined. Hon. II. II. Revels, a
Gentleman bland and entertaining ID his
manner, exhibits a fatherly care for those in
his keeping, and performs his duty so as to
give general satisfaction. Col. S. J. ireland,
treasurer, manages the rcfectory. Every
thing under his supervision is well conducted,
aud he seems TO be just in the niche he was
intended TO fill.
The number of students in attendance at
present is one hundred and forty it is daily
Increasing, and for 4 school so recently cstab.
i.shcd gives promise Of brilliant success.
The rectatious are such as would give
credit 10 any school the students are prompt,
and display uncommon interest in their stu
dies their department is becoming and gen.
tlemanly; the neishbOrs testify that they
have no cause for complaint against them ;
that their conduct is admirably superior to
the white students who formerly attended
The same institution, then Oakland College.
Tho neighbors surrounding the University
are refined and intelligent.
The faculty consists OF gentlemen Of refine
ment aud culture. The presidents family,
NO Of which are young ladies, and Mrs. S.
J. Ireland, lady Of fine accomplishments
assI superior intelligence, tend TO make an
interesting and lively society there. Indeed
tho yprv mir Of tho rlopp Spo.ps fn r. ootho

Yours, &C.,

IT, Tie Ediior orAe Neto National Era:
So much has been said, and we'll said, that
it may perhaps be considered supccfious in
me to add anything to the need Of praise
already bestowed on this distinguished in
dividual, yet wish to bear my humble tes-
timony to part of his character not yet
alluded to, and if alluded to, not commented
on. His ability as skillful debater, as a
finished orator, as an able lawyer, are we'll
deserved compliments; but if he excels in
any one thing more than another, it is as a
rarliamentarian. In this he is not surpassed,
and perhaps not equalled by any one in the
United States, in my judgment. His quick
perception, his retentive memory his nice dis
elimination and thorough acquaintance with
parliamentary law, qualities him to take
charge Of any deliberative body and govern
and control il with the greatest ease i'm
aginable. 1 nave attended many delibera.
tive bodies, both ecclesiastical and political
both among white aud colored, in different
portions of the country, and paid some little
attention to the rules of order governing
those bodies, but to my establishment ant
surprise, 1 never saw any man so ready, 81
apt, so clear in his decisions, as the above

From District Of Columbia.

Toaae Edit" ollie Ne,o National Era:
1t seems almost Incredible how soon the
remembrance and appreciation of services
are done away with. AS soon as the ends
are accomplished, the instruments are thrown
aside to rust until again needed; this is done
with the suppositlon that it will be necessary
only TO give them little attention in the
way Of rubbing up, and they will work as
we'll as ever. But is this not mistake ? Is
it not better TO keep them in order and fit for
use than to attempt to restore them after they
have lain and rusted till they are almost
worthless Besides, they never work as
well after it. This is in some degree just
where we, the colorcd people, are standing
to-day. We have worked and been used to
accomplish all the great ends that have been
accomplished, and now it seems to be the in
tention to put us aside until VIC are specially
needed again. We are not supposed to have
a right to lay claim TO any part of the good
results brought about with our aid; and
doubtless it is the opinion Of some Of our
friends that we ought TO feel honored in hav-
ing been called upon to assist in the great
uurn. re wi.,=not claim Cor Ourselves
greater virtues than our friends, and there
fore must acknowledge that, like them, we
did not entirely put aside self in helping the
cause, but felt that we were making common
cause, and working alike for ourselves and
others. Has it proved 10 our advantage
This question will force itself sometimes, and
it is not easily answered. We cannot give
up our principle, and yet how many of us are
suffering, struggling on account of that
principle. We knock and knock but the
door is not opened unto us, although we know
that justice gives us the right to enter. How
long will our courage last? How long shall
We have strength given us to persevere, when
it seems like hoping against hope? Some
thing must be done, and that right quickly
The few who may be enabled to weather it,
may not be able to carry the masses with
them; and who can answer for the consc'
quences. Promises arc almost below par
the people have already surieited off them,
and now something substantial is needed
Do not let the work of the last few years be
for naught. Now is the time; delay is
dangerous. V.
