quainted with the rules of military
life.
will endeavor Ia act the part of cap
tain To my hest ability, and will state
Ia the parents of boys who have already
enlisted that they can rest assured that
their children will he in no kind of mis-
chief, no swearing or disorderly conduct
while in my charge. They will not
come for that purpose, and if by chance
they are unruly, | will dismiss all such
from the company.
l hope the parents and people of
town will help me in this undertaking,
for boy like myself will need all the
aid they can give me by charging their
boys the strict Importance of obedience
in a soldier.
This will not interfere in any manner
whatever with the studies of the boys
who attend the Hartford College. Those
who enlist must attend the meetings
regularly.

Was "0ur Civilization on Trial"

Perhaps there is more truth than We
are willing TO admit in the statement
made in the Arnold trial by Col. Breck-
enrid.,', that "Our civilization is now
on tria..' The verdict was Il shock and
a surprise TO the community at large.
Perhaps the jury were honest ia their
verdict, hut ri this the ptop!e will have
their own opinion, and We doubt not
They viii come la for their share of in

jury gained for themselves an menvia-
ble notoriety on account of the verdict
in the Matt Ward ease, and now a
Jessamine county jury, IN ease that
was even wanton in its cold blooded
cruelty, say that Arnold is innocent.
Then who H. guilty when Il man, for
naught, is shot down in cold blood, i'm
his own office, does not guilt attach TO
some one? Ii Arnold is not guilty, who
and where is the culprit ? L. society
guilty by fostering and pandering To "a
public sentiment that will even tolerate
such verdicts?
But Arnold was "A christian Away
with such christianity, for eight of the

When a hung jury Was predicted 10y

A CARD.
]. p. BARRETT, Secretary.

In a circular published by myself,
dated August 18th, 1850, addressed ''ro
the Democratic Voters of the I'd Con-
gressional District" | stated, in sub
stance, that the Chairman Of the Com
mittee of this District had a sufficient
number of uni,istructed proxies to give
him the power to fix whatever date he
saw proper for the Convention to NOM
mate a candidate for Congress, and that
those proxies We're voted by him i'm a
spirit of preference and partiality for a
candidate other than myself
This statement was made upon infor-
nation which regarded as beyond all
question or possibility of mistake, and
at the time believed the statement TO
he true.
Since then have learned that my
informant was mistaken, and that my
statement was erroneous. / am now
satisfied that all the proxies voted by
the Chairman We're voted in accordance
with instructions from the members
who gave them, with one exception,
and that one, though uninstructed, was
voted by him in accordance with the
wishes Of the member who sent it,,
previously expressed TO the Chairman
in a letter which he has to-day shown
TO me.
IL gives me pleasure to exonerate the
Honorable Chairman from censure for
the manner in which those proxies
Were voted by him, and 10 avow my
belief that in voting them rs he did,
he discharged his official duty.

Perhaps no school in Kentucky will
start out on the first Monday in Sep
tember with better prospects than Prof.
Wayland Alexander's Hartford College
for males and females. Perhaps no
man in Kentucky has IL widespread
reputation than Prof. A., and this prob
ably accounts for the "boon," that al
ways goes with his school. A flourish
of trumpets i'm any cause will have a
temporary effect, but when we see pu-
pills who once get into his school re-
main until they graduate, it may be
known that il is not the outside show
that attracts and keeps the patronage Of
this gentleman's institution ; but il is
the employment of thoroughly cOmpe-
tent instructOrs-at liberal salaries, the
careful painstaking influence that is
east over each and every pupil, and the
judiciolis and thorough mode of instruc-
ton adopted, that makes Prof. Alexan-
der's school rank among the foremost
in size i'm the State.
The home patronage guaranteed the
Hartford College is sufficient to sustain
it, and its five scholarly teachers, but
it, favorable location and excellent rep
utation will draw To il pupils from
many counties. The handsome new
$1,000 building will I've dedicated on

i'm IA most horrible manner. IL seems
that they We're bailing out an old col
liery which had filed with water; one
of the cars caused considerable trouble by
hanging against something down in

rope and started down to see what was
the cause and remedy it if possible. He
had not gone far till he struck damp
air, when his hold gave way and he
fell, striking the car and hanging to il
by one foot. Stroud then started down
to relieve Griffith, when he met like
fate, falling to the bottom of the shaft,

General HnncOck's Home.

Governors Island, where General Han
cocks headquarters are, is one OF the plea
santest places in the neighb0rh0od OF New
York. Ii is only ten minutes ride from
the city by the Government cutter Atlantic,
which makes about dozen round trips
daily. From the city the island can be seen
plainly--a shady, grassy spot, with few
frame buildings at the northern end, and
old Castle William at the southern eX
tremity. The bOat-landDg Is at the north
ern end Of the island, and faces Brooklyn.
From the landing wide avenue extends
southwark, to the right OF which are rows
OF cannon and cannon-bals. An avenue
leading from the left OF this winds through
a delightful grassy lawn, made shady by
many trees, fronting upon which are dozen
or more plain but roomy frame dwellings
occupied by the y9riOus officers quartered
on the island. The Generals headquarters
are in a building near the lower end OF this
avenue. General Hancock house is large
pleasant frame building, situated about
midway between the general headquarters
and the boat landing. 1t has wide piazza
extending along the front, a wide halt, 10
the right OF which are double parlors and
to the left the dining-roOm, with General
Hancock's private sitting-room in its rear
The house Is handsomely furnishes; in the
parlor is an excellent painting OF Mrs. Han
cock.
Asa place OF residence the island has its
advantages and disadvantages; IL is some
six degrees cooler than New York in the
summer time, but Is the headquarters OF an
army OF mosquitoes, which at times sue
cessfully wage war even against the General
and army.
