st. Louis Post Dispatch:
Capt Blxby gives this truthful report of the
race: The City Of Alton left for New Orleans
Morgan, made fifteen landings. and arrived at
Memphis at 1880 p. m three days. two hours
and thirty minutes from port to ,port-forty
thirty one minutes. The Alton had 400 tons OF
freight. towed coal boats at, Baton Rouge
Nat.hez, Vieksturg an iArkopolis. The Morgan
Orleans to last her to Memphis. and never was
as close to the Alton as she was at the start.
From the Natchez Democrat we learn that it is
contemplated to erect q female college at that
ctr, and the editor thus speaks Of the generous
assistance offered BY Capt. T. p. Leathers: by
next fall the college can be and ought to be
opened. Il is gratifying fact which ought not
TO be overlooked, that our old citizen Capt IT,
Leathers. with the fond leaning to the home d
his early love which Is apt to Stir In the heart
as the frosts Of age steal upon II. has taken the
liveliest interest in the scheme, and responds
Natchez, with the most emphatic yes. and puts
down his name to an obligation pledging him
| self to u liberal contribution for the purchase
of suitable buildings. All honor to his gener
| plant seed on the soil where he reaped his
| youthful harvests which shall bear fruit wher
he is gone for the benefit Of the children anG
the ehildren's chill dren Of those who stood b.
him as friends and patrons In the critical day:
OF his early manhood. When the captain pull
his bell-rope. every officer springs 70 his post
with similar alacrity to his signal the college
| will be launched as surely as the grand mon
arch Of the waters, the Natchez, glides from hel
moorings.
| We are not surprised that Can't Leather,
should be amongst the first to give helping
| hand to this educational enterprise. He knows
| that our daughters must have home educa
| ton. or they will not haveany. He knows tha
| we are too poor to send our children abroad
and that even if we could it is far better to hav,
| these institutions of learning at home. where
| maternal influence can aid In the formation o
| the character OF our children.
