VTe Comniissionera at this place hving reported that (87,000) eighty-seven that atd dollars had heen snbscribed to the capital tock of the Company. N. L. Griflin, Esq., offered the following re o'ntions wvhich were adopted with great har noiy by the Stockholders: Resolved, That the Stockholders of the Edge field Rail R-'ud Comppany, proceed to the or anizition of the Co npany, by anI ek-ction of a resident and twelve Qutectors. Rlesoloed. That it is expedient to sus~pend the ocation of the Road, and the fixing of the low er terminns. Resolved, That the Stockholders will afford ery reasonable facility to tthe extension of a ail Road from Edlgefield C.1 , through Abbe ille, Andersonm,and Pickenis. towaurds the moun-. tains. That application be made to the Legis latmro at the tnext session for a charter to thi:: end, and that if it be necessary to such exteni sion, our existing organizationi will be dissolved re paratory to furmirngof a new cotnpamny. Mr. Griffin supiported thme resolutions by a utrong appeal to the Stucholders in favor of ex. tending the road through this District, Abbe. vi;le, and Anderson, to such terminutions ais might be agreed upon by the Stockholders apr n the entire route, anid ini favor of leaviiag open for the present the qutestionl of the lowier termi ms of the road, and his views were concnrred i by the chairman and several other geatlemeni who addressed the meeting.

Senator Speight. ~Mounted Baualion of Georgia.We see--it stated that the mounted battali:n of Georgia, which was formed according to a recent re quisition of the government, has set out for the seat of war. Six companies coinpose this bat-' tation. The whole number of men atiiounts to 450 or500. This speaks well for the prompt ness and high military spirit of our sister State.: Throughout the Mexican war, we have disco vered ro faltering or backwardness in Georgia. Last year, inl a short tine, she had a regiment in the field, which served fur twelvemonth, and though it never was so fortunate as to be en gaged in battle, suffered ituch, and ever showed a willingness to perform its duty. - At present. there seems to be little or no abatement of milita' ry feeling among the people. Murder of the Dufhess de Praslin.-The Cor' respondetit of the Charleston Courier, writing fro.m Paris, August 20th, 1847, gives an acbouiit of a most attrocious murder, whiclh was recent ly committed in Paris.' Great excitement pre* vailed in every circle, on account of the murder of the Duchess of Praslin. There seems to be very little doubt of her death being caused by her husband, who was quite a profligate noble man, and who did not live on good terms with. his wilfe. The Duches. is represented to hpve been very ainiable and nuch beloved. by the poor. A guvernmuess who had been in the Duke de Praslin's fatmily, was strongly suspected of having had some agency in the matter. The Duke was arrested, and would doubtless, have been tried before his peers, but the unhappy. man put an end to his existence in prison. For the Adcrtiser. Mr. EOIToa.-II a short excursion, which I recently made to the upper part of the State,, it was my privilege to be the guest of the en terprising founders of the "FauALE HioH ScHooL AT LIMEsToNE SPRnNos. I had thus an opportunity (of observing ihe operations of this Institution. And it gives me great plea sure to say, that these operations were very satisfactory. The site i1 happily ohosen.- the buildings and grounds are admirably adapted to the object in view, and the instrue:ion is thorough. Far removed from city, town, or fashiortable resort, with a select society of four or five genteel families, and a cliue equal in salubrity to any in the Southern States, the pn. pils at this seat of learning have no interfering claims upon their time. The wh-le, therefore, may be profitably devoted to their studies, aund necessaiy recreation. I had the pleasure of attending tie recitaion I of a class in Moral Philosophy taught by Dr. Curtis, and another in Chymiatry. taught by his sun. The Young i.adies answered under standingly in their own words, and not from memory merely inl the words of their author. The explanations of their Teachers were plain, and calciulated to reach the capacity of the pu. pil. The recitation in Chymistry was in the Laboratory, which cnitains it Philosophicil Alp paratus, that the younger Curtis is enriching with im'porfanit inventions ofhis own. The specimens of drawing, . pencilling and paintintg were well execute-l, and the Profes. sors'in Music, four in nuriber. Iossess high re putation. In this departmen thnre are eighty. five pupils, with the necessary instruments, Harp, Guitar, and Piano-all il separate roonms, and stitlicieut number for the wants of the School.. -. - The'fare is bountiful and good, and the ap. prliances for hedhful exeicise and agieeable recreation are ample. Whenii the weather is open, numerous walks invite the younr people to most agreeable p)rttunentadets, aind when it is choomy' the la-ge roomts and passaces of the In-. ~iitutionm building, which is four scornes high, with three long piazzas in the fronit and as mia ny in the rear, al'urd opportuniity f'or all neces satry exercises. In one end of' the building is a C hapnl, which can acconitnodate two oir three hundred per. suns, in which. morning andt eveming,the teach ers anmd students are assembiled for devotioiial exercise.s. And on the Lord's Day the Gospel is statedhy preached to a congregation formed oft the mnemmbers of the estaukhshtment and thme neighbors around. A Church hans beent recent ly constituted in the vic'inity, iind arrangements are in progress for the erection of a Mleetintg Homuse withini ai imile or two of the ilistitutioni. Besides the Priinci pals, there are seveni Teach ass in the School, which embraces more thanui one hundired pupils, ninieyseven of whom are~ boardhers in the house. The rincipals of this " High School" are Baptists. it is true but I am happy to say,thatt the Institution is not sectarian. Thue whole estabhlihment is conducted upons Ii beral principles, with sacred regard to the rights of private judgmnet. Whetn the ability of the Rev. Dr. Curtis. and of his son Rtev.
