School Celebration.
Augusta, Ark., May 5th, I860.
| Mr. Editor : Permit me, through your col
Ijuinns, to make a few remarks in behalf of the
r1 Augusta Institute.”
H Tuesday last was really a gala day here for
the youths of our little town. Under the di
rection of ihe Misses Davies, (with the assis
tance of the Marshal), our most efficient
teachers of the Augusta Female Institute,
the scholars paraded the principal streets,
with music by the Augusta brass band, pre
leuting a beautiful and interesting spectacle,
such as rarely seen.
Nothing is better calculated to promote the
• . _,l:__I ...... HI, nP „ f
.VJ, ..
■tlian a well organized and a well patronized
*chool. About ten o’clock all the partici
pants were seated in a beautiful Grove, where
seats were prepared for the occasion. Col.
J. S. Read (formerly of Memphis) mounted
the rostrum, and in a few brief and appropri
ate remarks, expressed the object of the cele
bration which had called them together.
By this time it was nearly one o’clock, and
the whole company were invited to partake
of one of the most elegant and bounteous re
pasts i ever saw spread upon a table. After
doing justice to the substantiate, all repaired
to the dancing place, in the Grove, which was
cleaned off and a little sawdust spread upon
the ground, and the young people “ gaily
tripped it on the light fantastic toe.”
' The whole celebration was a splendid affair,
in all respects. I have been at many a festive
party, but I do not remember of ever seeing
so much beauty. There was notan ugly young
lady in the company.
This celebration should ever be held in
grateful remembrance by the pupils of this
school. - W. R. R.

PIC-NIC.
'• GIVEN BY THE YOL'NG LADIES OK THE DES ARC
FEMALE ACADEMY.
| Mr. Editor: We have no disposition t<
; excite your envy, but give you credit for gen
! erosity enough to be glad at the good fortune
. | of others, and therefore it is that we essay ti
j write to you of the festivities of the 11th inst.
I the occasion of which was a pic-nic given bj
the young ladies of our flourishing Academy
. | under the superintendence of Miss Black,
i By some unaccountable arrangement the
j young ladies all proceeded to the place ol
' | rendezvous alone, on the morning in question.
' ; and left us poor gallant (?) knights to plod out
- way alone; but when we arrived at the
: “ Grove” we came to the conclusion that, the
- arrangement must have been for the effect, for
i it is difficult to imagine a more pleasing sigh(i,
- to an admirer of the beautiful — and more
especially to a bachelor—than that which met
i our view a little after crossing the creek, on
! the western outskirts of our town.
It was a bright, warm spring morning, and
' the heat and dust had produced no very pleas
ing effect upon our feelings ; but when that
■ beautiful grove, more beautiful than ever,
j presented itself, it was to us like a green oasis
in the desert, and we forgot the inconve
niences of the walk in contemplating the view
! before us. The Grove is a lovely spot at any
1 j time, with its waving canopy of rich foliage
and its velvety carpet of green, extending to
the brink of our own romantic little stream of
j White River, dancing by in its sparkling
purity and ripling beauty ; but graced by that
group of arid nymphs, who seemed to partake
of the freshness and beauty with which spring
had clothed the mute beauties of the woods,
it seemed that uature, in an artistic combina
tion, had thrown forth all of her brightest
colors upon the canvas at once—for we will
class these ladies fair among the beauties of
nature and not the excellencies of art. Not
only that group of little girls, who were en
joying their innocent sports on the river’s
brink, but also that other company of mai
dens, “now woman grown;” for if there is
one attraction which shines above the many
others which the Des Arc ladies possess, it is
that artlessness of manner which is woman’s
brightest attraction, and like other bright
jewels most seldom found at the present day.
Variety was the order of the day. Now we
would enjoy “sweet converse” with the young
ladies, in which they would evince the cul
ture bestowed upon their minds by their ac
complished preceptress—both those who are
still under her control and those who have
stepped out upon the “carpet.” Now the
game of “grab” would give variety to the
entertainment; now the “lads and lassies”
would display their grace at “ prisoner’s
base;” now a nice little boat, bearing the
eupuomous uue or x>uciv anorc," wouiu oe
seen gliding across the clear water, with sails
all spread, to the wild wood, on the opposite
bank ; on one of which trips a gallant knight,
looking into the clear stream, became charmed
with the reflection of a sweet face in the
water, forgetting that the original was by his
side, and did not discover his mistake until he
had displayed his gallantry at the expense of
his “ Sunday clothes.” Ever and anon the
woods would be filled with the melody of the
“ Watcher,” or some other plaintive song,
from a chorus of sweet voices in the grove.
And thus the hours glided so swiftly by that
we were surprised when they called us to the
ample board, groaning with the good things
of the season, which was superintended by
several of the kind ladies of our town, whose
presence added both dignity and pleasure to
the day’s entertainment.
And so it passed from thence till evening,
when, as a facetious friend remarked, we
gathered into our baskets more loaves and
fishes than we had at first, and left the beauti
ful Grove, around which shall ever linger
many a pleasing association, and perhaps to
some many a tender one, which it would not
be best for us to mention here ; for several
times during the day did the melody of the
birds, in a distant part of the Grove, attract
some admiring couple, and perhaps they heard
soft melodies which i.o ear but their own was
permitted to hear. But we will not intrude
further, but will close by wishing to one and
all many returns of such plesant pic-nics.

Sinking or the R. F Sass—Heavy Loss
or Like—Boat and Cargo a Total Loss.—
The steamer R. V. Sass. Capt. W. B. Phillips,
bound from New Orleans to Cincinnati, with
i , full rarro. and about loO cabin and deck
passengers, struck a snag opposite Clark’s
bar, about fifty miles below Memphis, on he
' night of the 10th inst., and immediately settled
in deep water. The snag took effect forward
i and tore out her entire bottom, causing her to
sink so rapidly that a large number of her
passengers were only apprised ot the frightful
fact by finding themselves emersed in the
1 rushing flood, "which, in the brief space of
about two minutes, had reached the hurricane
roof. Many of the unfortunate passengers
: were unable to make their egress from the
cabin in time, and were only rescued by those
on the hurricane deck breaking in «the sky
lights and dragging them from their perilous
position beneath the roof, while a number ot
others were caught in their rooms and drowned
before any assistance could be rendered. 1 he
deck passengers generally escaped, and ths
I officers and crew were all saved.
| About an hour after the occurrence, the
, steamer Edward Walsh. Captain Burke, ar
| rived at the scene of the disaster, and, with
| her yawl and two life-boats, succeeded in
• saving 125 of the sufferers—some of whom
■ were found clinging to floating logs and frag
, meats of the wreck ; others endeavoring, by
their unaided exertions, to reach the shore ;
’ while about fifty of the unfortunates were
l taken from the floating cabin, after having
drifted some four or five miles down stream.
, Not less than thirty lives were lost. Among
those saved we notice the name of Joseph Wil
helme, who is well known to our citizens,
having resided in Des Arc most of the time
i during the past two years.
