No Institution in the United States offers
greater facilities for the speedy acquisition of

It has stood more
THAN A QUARTER OF A CENTURY
on its own merits alone, and is now more
prosperous than ever notwithstanding the
hnstilltvof tTiNK.nANT and local Abolition
ists, whose trade is to malign what they
cannot control. The College is open the en
tire year. All who take the Commercial
Course are able to keep any set of books in a
bank, business house or steamboat, in the
most approved manner. Persons from 12 to
60 years of age attend to any branch they
may desire. They can board with the Pro
fessor or other good families, speaking Eng
lish, French, Spanish, or German. Country
Merchants can learn in a few days to keep
their own books correctly or acquire a hand
some style of penmanship. The lessons are
special to each student. Bftolts of all kinds
opened, closed or corrected. Persons who
write for Book-keeprs, Clerks or Teachrs,
should give full particulars.
Catalogues with terms, opinions of the
Southern press and leading men of the nation,
sent to all who desire them. All who are
willing to suoscribe, so as to open the Agri
cultural and Mechanical Departments, can
obtain all needful information at any time.
The amount can be taken out in tuition. The
money expended by Southern families at
Northern watering-places in a single year
would build up in every Southern State Com

flourishes and now threatens to destroy our

NOTICE.
A MAN calling himself Dr. CHAS. •
BURG, hailing from Kansas, and former
ly from Pennsylvania, has been in our midst.
Said Burg is about 40 years of age, of a very
prepossessing appearance and well calculated
to deceive. He professes to be a Mason. We
warn all persons to beware of him, for his
actions while here proved him anything but a
gentleman, anil entirely unbecoming a Mason.
