attention TO the Virginia Military Institute,
and hill has passed both houses ''vacatlng

effect on the 25th of June next. The bill IN
ferentiallv leaves the official corps. profes
sors and instructors, to be dealt with by the
new board to be appointed by Gov. Cameron,
but it is no secret that the able instructors,
headed bv Gem Francis II. Smith as Supcrin-
tendent, who have made the institute as mil-
itarv school second only to West Point, are to
he bounced. and their places filled with men
whose chief recommendation, perhaps, will
be their services IN the cause of readjustment-
The next institution to he attacked will be the
University of Virginia, and the eminence OF
its corps of instructors will not save them from
the guillotine Not only will the hundreds OF
Young men from other states who have yearly
gone to the Virginia educational institutions
seek educations elsewhere, but under the po.
litical administrations now being inaugurated
these academic halls will soon cease to re-
sound with the tread of the young men of Nir-
