Jt is requested that persons sendine Mares, will send a note for the season, and the pedigree of the Mare. John Bascombe never having covered, his powers as a foal getter is, of course, unknown : such Mares, therefore, as do not prove in foal, shall have the ben efit of another season, free of charge. Messrs. Glas cock and Lacy are extensively provided with Lots and Stables for Mares that may be sent to remain with the horse and will be well fed at fifty ccnts per day. Black servants sent with Mares, fed gratis. Every care and attention wiU'be taken to guard agiinst accidents, or escapes, but no liability will be incurred for either. PEDIGREE. ?

Bas combe's performances on the turf, are of so recent date, afad consequently so well known, I deem it unnecessary to trouble the public with any remarks of mine in relation to them, except to state that he has never lost a heat since he has been in uiy hands.

The following extracts of letters from two of Ih* ; most scientific men in our country, will show the ! utility of this School. _ Frankfort, July ICth, 13^6. Dear Sir ? The four young gentlemen from the Georgetown Mathematical School, who are engngsd as assistants in the Engineer corps of the State, i have performed the duties assigned them in a very sa r isfactory manner. Among the young gentlemen ot my acquaintance who have embraced the Pro fession of Civil Engineering, those who have been educated at Mathematical Schools have generally succeeded better than the graduates of our com mon College*. A knowledge of Mineralogy and Chemistry is of crraat advantage to the Engineer; and it is absolute ly necessary tl;*t he should be acquainted with Archi:ec:uwl or Line Drawing. The Student j-honld be taught the principles of construction at the same time he 13 taught to make his drawing. Very respectfully, V our obedient servant. SYLVESTER WELCH, (Engineer in Chief for the State of Ky.) To T. F. JOHNSON, Esq. P rojessor of C ivii E ngin ee ring, Georgetown Ky. Louisville, July 20th, 1836. Sir ? It affords me pleasure to testify to the very correet and satisfactory manner in which the two yeung gentlemen from your Sehool have conducted themselvs during the time they have been in the service ; and the ability manifested by the prompt and skilful discharge of their several duties, is alike creditable to them and the character of the institution in which they were instructed. The Books comprised in your course of studies are appropriate and well selected. I am pleased lo hear that Topographical and Architectural Drawing is to forma part of your future course. This is an elegant accomplishment to an Engineer, and in the early part of his career will frequently bring him into notice and hasten his promotion to more respon se stations, where his talents may be fully devel oped^ Appreciating as I do your efforts to elevate the profession, I trust they will be crowned with success, and I assure you it will afford me very great plea sure to render any aid in my power to ipcnntl yon* [ views, Ytwr wwsfrobruieut, THOMAS F.

Dear Sir * * * We are about to commence the location of a Canal, 34 miles in length, to meet the Central Canal, which will take us till late in the fall. I am perfectly satisfied with my situation, and shall never regret the money spent in obtaining it. I consider the fact of my having attended your school one Ses sion to have saved meat least three years hard la bour, for it would have required that time (had I not joined your Class) to qualify me for the discharge of the duties I now have on hand. I believe this is the opinion of each member of the class which gradua ted las^ Session. Respectfully yours, &c. Fioin a Correspondent of one of the Students. ? Geneva, N. V. Oct. 29th, 1836. ? Your intention of going to Georgetown, Ky. is, I think an admirable one, and you would be very much to blame, not to go through with it ? for, from all accounts, the School in Georgetown is better adap ted for preparing Engineers tnan any other in the United States. I have spoken to several Engineers on the Subject and they all agree in recommending it strongly. *?***??! January 14 2 General Order? J)"o. 3. Head Quarters, Columbia, ) 2d March, 1837. ( G EX.

Now it is true that I addressed a letter to some of my friends in time of the late election, and commu nicated information which I had received, of what was going on at Buck Head ; but it is utterly untrue that I ever denied any thing that I had either said or written, or that I backed out. I have also understood that it is said, Dr. Means pronounced ilie events of the letter which I addres sed to my friends, a falsehood. ? This is untrue so far as my knowledge in concerned.- Dr. Means never said so to me. I do not now what he may have said toother people. I heard this last report a few days after the election, and immediately addressed a note to Dr. Means on the subject ; and also sent him a copy of the letter which I had written to my friends. In his answer, tho Dr states what he pronounced a falsehood ; but disclaims having pronounced the con tents of my .'ftter a falsehood. In ord0,,that thib ^hole matter may be the better understood, I have though Paperto publish the let ter which 1 addressed to my j^ends during e'8c" tion, and also my note to Dr. Mea.*12 an? answer: all of which wiU be found below. .QOC Near BuckIIeap* Oct. l?36 To Mr. John Smart and others : ? . ? Dear Sir . ? I am now in Dr. Means' neignb. hood, and have been informed this evenn^' lhat some of Dr. Means' friends at Buck Head have gy.ne ngainst John Woodward and myself in the election. I give yoj this information that you may use it agains Dr. Means and to our advantage. Unless my friends use every exertion for me I shall be left behind. If you can send this information to Gladden' s and Killingsworth's, do so ; and let it be known to my friends in Winnsborough. Yours, Ac. JOHN J, MYERS. WlNN8BOItODGH, Oct. 20, 1S36. To Dr. David H. Meant : ? Dear Sir:? I understand it is remored about Winnsborough, 'f.hat you pronounced the contents of a letter which I addressed to some of my friends last week a falsehood. Now, sir, I wish to know wheth er you ?lid so or not. I herewith send you a copy of the said letter, so that you may see what 1 wrote ; and I wish you to say eipressly whether you haveior now do, pronounce the contents of that letter a false hood. Yours, &c, JOHN J. MYERS. Near Buck Head, Oct. 30. 1836. ToJ"hn J. Myers : ? Sir : ? ^ ours of the 20th instant, a ccompanied by the ropy of a letter written by you to I^r. John Smart nnd others, dated the 10<h October, a.*e both before me. You desire me to state whether I pro.iounced the contents ofthe letter (a copy of which y?*)u sent me) false. In reply, I have to state, that 1 did oronounce the contents of the letter (as I understood them, for the letter could no where be found) to be utterly false. The charge made, as I understood, was, tlvit my own influence and that ofmy family, was ?xei*t?d to defeat the election of Mr. Woodward and vou^self, and this I denounced a* a falsehood. Thed*1*^" 113 made in your letter, " that some of Dr Means' frien ds at Buck Head have eone against John Wood^ ar^ and myself," is doubtless true, as many votes we re given for me at that place of election, that were nc't given for either of you. That any unfairness wus used in the election at Buck Head, I still say is untrue. That an effort was made to injure my election, the face of your leucr sufficient shews. But if Mr. Woodward and your self are satisfied with the part taken by you in the late election, I have abundant reason to be satis fied with mine, which I am conscious has been, throughout the whole canvass, characterized by the m< st perfect lairness towards each individual candi date. 1 am your's, <fcc, D. H. MEANS. It will be seen in Dr. Means' letter what he pro ' unced a falsehood, and it will also be observed, that he disclaims having pronounced the content* of my letter a falshood. Dr. Means makes an imputation of unfairness, both against Mr. Woodward and my self, which I care nothing' about. The Dr. is per fectly welcome lo enjoy his opinion on that subject. and all that I am dissatisfied about, oriegret, is, that there was not sufficient time for mv letter to ^,ave hod the effect which I intended. I hays publiahed this correspondence, and made these rcinarksin self defence? justice to myself and ir, y friends required it ? I seek no difficulty or controvercy wiih any one, nor shall I b?.ck out Irom any. I regret that I Save been competed to appear before the public about this matter, but I hope the justice and necessity of the case, will be a sufficient apology, I am, Fellow-citizens, your ob't serv't, JOHN J.
