BE TRUE TO TENNESSEE.

Repudiate brothers, what do you mean9
Repudiate the debt Of TENNESSEE
You viii not drag her proud head down tc
shame.
1t is not true, it cannot-cannot be.
The indignant blood surges from heart to
brain,
Tinging our brow, tingling our cheeks with
shame
When e'er we hear the word repudiate
Coupled with her dear-loved and honored
name.
To readjust her debts no better still,
Those urging it have no desire to pay;
Their palE.s are itching for the public till,
As will be proven II they should gain full
Thousands are scattered over this fair land,
Who first drew breath among her glorious
hills,
Watching with anxious hearts and power
less hands,
For you to save her from her threatened ills.
Then rally brothers, rally in your might;
For Tennessee is too proud name
Ever to rest beneath so foul blight.
So for your children's sake, keep bright its
fame;
Let Bailey your brave standard bearer be,
For he's been tried and found honest and
true,
A grandIy noble son of Tennessee,
In honoring whom, honoru rebound to
you.
There's danger-long and loud the tocsin
Press every laggard to the battlefield
Contest with valor every inch of ground,
And never to repudiators yield;
That God may aid you in the cause of right,
Our dear old State from bCnd6 debt set free,
And make your future gIoriously bright,
Is the prayer of your sister, TENNIE G,

boats on the river. We learn that
Capt. Ryman is having constructed
large, new boat to enter the trade

The Female Academy.

The Rev. Warner Moore, of
Memphis, who it will be remember
ed delivered the Commencement
sermon to the pupils of the above
school some weeks ago, in a letter
to the Christian Advocate, has this
to say of this most excellent insti-
tuition:
The most attractive feature of this
Commencement was the purely lit
erary character of the exercises.
Other features were auxiliary.
Music was called upon to lend its
charm to the order of the hour, but
that order was the presentation of
beautiful thoughts so expressed as
to make evident that these pupils
had been trained to write and speak
their native tongue. President
Collins and his able co-laborers are
agreed in the desire and intention
to make finished scholars of the
young ladies committed to their
charge. Every department of in
structiOn is under the direction of
an educator, and the thinking fac
ulty is well developed and put into
training for future use. Il
The address of the President to
the three young ladies who had
completed the curriculum and who
received diplomas, was ehaste in
thought and elegant in diction.
Nothing could have been better
fitted to the occasion than the words
of counsel these young ladies heard
as they stood upon the border line
between girlhood and womanhood.
In closing, permit me TO call the
attention ofChristian parents to this
model school. 1t belongs 10 the
Church. 1t is well differed. 1t is
beautiful for situation. 1t aims at
the highest Christian education, and
is therefore worthy of the confidence
and patronage Of the public.
Rev. John S. Collins, A. NJ, the
President, is ripe scholar and an
enthusiastic teacher, and deserves
success.

Frank james.

| If GAINESVILLE ought to be proud
Of anything it certainly ought to be
of the honor conferred upon her by
the evident love and prediction
that the Hon. Frank james has for
it and its vicinity, as "A place OF
quiet residence and absolute securi-
ty from the unwelcome intrusion OF
the minions of the law, who are
always trying to interview Mr..
James. 1t Is well known fact that
Mr.. James does not want any no.
toriety, nor anything to do with
detectives or newspaper reporters,
and yet the intrusive fellows are al
ways trying to get at him. Why
not let the gentlemen alone, he
wants quietude and rest. He may
have been little wild in his youth,
may have drawn pretty heavily ON
a few banks and borrowed money
too lavishly from express companies
and such little things as that, but
he was boy then and "boys will
be boys"
"To err is human, to forgive di-
vine" and we are prepared to show
our divinity by letting by-gones be
by-gones. Mr.. James says he has
reformed, and we believe he has.
We would have been inclined to
doubt this assertion if we had not
read his letter to the Tobacco Leaf,
but the very moment a fellow rush.
es into print, records "his say" in
printers ink, we know he is trying
to be honest and sincere and truth
full. The newspapers wont print a
lie. Every editor knows when a
fellow is writing the truth and he
wont let anything else go in his pa
per. But what we wanted to say is
that all these long newspaper ac-
counts of the capture of Mr.. James
near Philadelphia by st. Louis de-
tectives few days ago is simply |
blind. 1t is some other fellow try
ing to impersonate him. Mr.. |
James has been living in and about |
this city for the past six or eight
months as is evidenced to any mind |
except the too incredulous by the |
fact of his having got advances on
tobacco from two of our warehouses
few months ago; by his several
letters at sundry times to the Leaf,
and by the fact recorded in black
and white that he was registered at |
Lehman's European House, this
city, on the 18th of this month.
Mr.. James is not in the hands of the
Missouri officers.

The War in EoyDf.

4
The latest advices from AleXan-
dria since its evacuation by Arab
Pasha and his army, after burning
the city, killing great many peo-
pie, committing many depredations
and destroying vast deal of prop
erty, are that the city is now in
the hands of the British troops un-
der Admiral Seymour. The fires
have been all extinguished, peace
has been restored and the city has
been thoroughly policed. Arab
Pasha has removed miles from the
city and is supposed to be march
ing towards Cairo, where he hopes
to be largely recruited. His army
now numbers about 5000 men, but
the country is greatly excited and
there is great fear that the war will
become general. Arab has been
declared rebel by the Khediye.
1t is impossible as yet to deter
mine what will be the outcome of
all the trouble. 1t is feared by
some that tine war may become
religious one as several of the Mo-
homedan Prophets are interesting
themselves on the side of Arab.
The English troops will probably
60 in pursuit of Arab and we may
yet hear OF further lighting and
bloodshed. Both the English and
French governments are agreed as
to the future conduct of affairs and
will unite in securing the Khedive
peaceful possession of his throne.
The war has little or no infu-
ence in this country and excites
very little notice.

IN this issue will be found the an
nouncement of the opening day OF
the GAINESVILLE Female College.
This Institution has always enjoyed
an enviable reputation, but at no
time greater than under the present
management. Mr.. Collins is ripe
scholar, a true gentleman and
knows how to run a school success
fully. Add to this the healthful-
ness of the city of GAINESVILLE and
its reputation for morality and
christian virtues, we are at n loss to
know why people, who send their
children to boarding schools in
other localities, should overlook
GAINESVILLE, and we are glad to know
that but few do so.-SprinQfelol
