Rev. A- H Lester?Wofford College.
Wo are Informed that Rev. A. II. Lkstkr, ol
Greenville District, has been selected by the
Trustees of Wofford College to fill the chair o!
Professor of Hebrew and other Oriental Languages.
We are pleasod to hoar of the eelec"

the duties of this honorable position. Mr
Lester has been a elose student all his life, an d
the last few jeara he has devoted to the study
of those languages, of which he is made profes
or, under the tuition of one of the ablest oriental
teachers in this country. His mental culture
and intellectual acquirements being of the
highest order, when he commenced these studies,
he maderepid progress in mastering tlicm,
Mr. Lester is a christian man and scholar of
the highest intellectual endowments. With
such additions to the present able Faculty of
Wofford College (in which are some of the
tioblttl sptciment of mankind) wo have good rea
eon to hope it may soon again witness that
prosperity and patronage which it enjoyed
previous to ihe war.
We do wish most earnestly for the restoration
of that atatu$ of the affairs of ths country, nnd
individual prosperity and easiness of circumstances,
which alone is wanting to make Wofford
College and similar institutions of inesti
mabls advantage and usefulness to our countryThese
handsome and oapacious buildings are
almost nnoecopied, and the talent and learning
of ^ita faenlty, though not dormant and idle,
does not find near the amount of professorial
labor they desire. It is an unfortunate and
lamentable truth, thet many people of the
country do not regard ths education and mental
culture of their children as the most vital
ntceuity, but as something of secondary impora

if they have a auper-abundance of means ; but
if a little straitened, or not very full han<led,
they apply it in a direction which produces
enly a sensual or imaginary pleasure when
contrasted with the inoro lasting and exquisite
enjoyment one finds in the possession of a well
trained and cultivated mind. Yet there arc
some who do not give the matter a teconilary
consideration even?persona of means. But
this class of persona are not so numerous as
thoae who regard it as a good thing, and foi
which they are willing to spend money if tltcy
happen to have more than they can apply in
another way. llow much wiser would it be to
hold-oar mental improvement of the first impor
fanes?let it come next to the aetual nectwtiu
of life. It ia not so much from the fact that
our people are not able, as a want of a proper
appreciation of the importance of education,
tnat these valuable institutions are not more
lihorallv natrAniiod. Rome nersons. who ffire
the matter any consideration, think tlicy must
have a superfluity of means. I Wit if you were
to find these people exercising a little solfdenial
of the luxuries of life in order to enable
themselves to make outlays upon the education
of their children we would think they began to
have a proper estimation of Its value. Tlie?o
luxuries in which they indulge may not be extravagant?may
not be regarded by some as
ueh. Naturt is frugal, and her wants are ftw,
end if we would bring ourselves down to these
WO would then have that turplut which seems to
hotxtetnary. Let as retrench in everything
until we are able to spend money upon the
improvement and advancement of the children
of the country. It is judicious to do so. In su

Ths Staunton Virginian says that the Hon.

Uohod States, took several miles of the iron
oftbo Manassas Gap Railroad, and had it
transported and laid down, at Government expense,
on a private railroad of his own in

for the return of the iron ; it was approved by
the Quartermaster -General, but Secretary Stan

We are not fond of encomiums upon war and
warrior*. We are not for making the Cwsara,
aud the Alexanders, whose restless ambition
has transformed' the cartli into scenes of desolation
and carnage, and representing them as
patterns of all that is noble and heroic. Few,
like IIAMrTOM, can be eulogised as tho virtuous '
and magnanimous hero. It wns not he who (
mingled in the strife for false glory and renown. '
