WALHALLA FEMALE COLLEGE.
MESSRS EDITORS: It is understood that you
aro going to establish a first class Fomalo
Collogo in your midst, for tho benefit ol tho
oitizons of Walhalla and tho surrounding
country; a collogo in which our daughters
oan rccoivo substantial and polished educa
tional facilities. Will you allow mo a few
stray thoughts, advocating tho enterprise?
With tho constant progress of education,
not only of thia place, but of tho wholo Stato,
tho time has como for the establishment of a
Fcmalo Coilogo in our midst. Tho position
of woman is a question which attracts and
occupies tho thoughts of tho ablest minds.
Their training is ono of tho gravest themes
that engages tho attontion of tho patriot, thc
philanthropist or tho Christian. Nothing it
moro evident than it is tito duty of cvory one
to assist, to tho utmost of his ability, in ole?
vating and iuiproving tho montnl training o
our daughters, opening now Bolds for theil
omploymont and activity, and raising thom t<
a higher and nobler lovoi io socioty.
Nothing will add moro to tho prosperity o
this plac? than good schools-ospecially firs
olass colleges. Onco thoro was a time whet
tho number of negroes possessed elevate
mon and womon to socioty; now, aa times havi
changed, education and good morals. Hone
tho pcoplo genorally desiro tho cduoation o
their children, and good schools in any plac<
will draw tho inhabitants of tho Stato. Fi fr
boarders in Walhalla will throw into circula
tion $10,000; for no student, malo or fomalo
will spend less than $200. If others mov
hore for tho purposo of educating their chil
dron, it will add groatly to tho prosperity o
tho placo.
It is not necessary to speak any further o
tho advantages, pecuniarily, to this town ant
community. This is acknowledged hy al
mon of business and education. A simpb
roforonco to tho past fow years is sufficient
What has Nowborry Collogo offectod tho fov
yoars it was locatod hero? Lot tho towns tba
sont in their bids for it, answor. Why havi
this peoplo. now it is removed, determined ti
have another suoh an institution? Is Wal
halla now what it was niuo yoars ago? Tin
Answers to thoso questions must spoak loudlj
in behalf of u Fomalo Collego located in om
midst.
. Givo us two good colleges, ono for our boys
tho other for our girls, and in a fow years noi
only will Walhalla be proud of her institu*
tion8 Of learning, but A different stato O
affairs will exist in our midnt. Wo havo n
hoalthy placo, salubrious olimato. good water,
Choap living. Many will mako it a rosidenco,
nt least until their children aro cduoated
Some have already dono this, and many more
will avail themselves of thoso privileges, il
tho two colleges aro sucoowfully established
Tho necossity. of educating our daughters it
apparent. Thoy havo tho moulding iufluoncc
of tho State and nation. It is moro importttni
to havo educated mothers than fathers. Dr.
Todd bas woll Haid: "Thoro wore Ovo sons;
wo know tho motlier. One stand? at tho head
of tho bar in New York; another is n promi
nent editor, a romarkablo mind; another is a
remarkable engineer; another sits on tho
supreme bench of tho United States Court;
another is Prosidont of tho Sonatoof Massa
chusetts. Thero thoso sons wcro. Il was tho
mother that tliado thom, lt was tho mother
that stamped her own beautiful character
upon them. Is not that honor nnd glory
enough for a woman to bo a mother of suoh
o family! In plans for education, I bog that
you will bear in mind, that tho mission of
woman is to oroate and educate tho human
raco for thc I)rat twelve yoars of its oxistonoo."
S.
Wallum?, &c.
Col. Hopo, of Loxington, writes as follows
from our flourishing town:
WALU A i.i, A, August 21.-I havo returned
from Walhalla, whore I havo sojourned for
two wcoks for tho benefit of my health. I
desiro to furnish for your paper n few items of
information ns they havo occurred to my
observation Tho climate and water of this
placo is quito agrooablo and good. Tho sun,
during the middle part of tho day, ia quite
warm, but tho mountain broozo of oir, occa
sionally springing up, breaks off tho fnrco of
tho sun's boat, oven lu tho daytime But tho
coolness of tho nights, mostly uniform, alfords
tho benefit to tho inhabitants of tho placo,
togother with tho purity of tho water. There
is also a mineral Bpring in tho corporation,
lately fitted up for uso. lt is moro alkaline
than clmlybeato in its general character, with
slight tinctures of various sulphates and
phosphates, lt is located on tho thoroughfare
to tho noted Lager Beor Browcry of Mr. Kauf,
mann. It is a pleasant retreat and much
visited.
A word as to tho interests of Charleston and
tho South Carolina, Greenville and Columbia
and tho Hine Ridge Railroad*. I tell you
most assuredly that thc Air lino railroads aro
maturing the business connections West and
North, in such a way ns to withdraw from
our immediate and intermediate railroads
much business which they ought to hold and
increase permanently. Further delay, to
meet this caso with wisc and suitable arrange?
ment of freights in reason nnd transportation
at ohoap rates to markets bolow of such arti
cles or portions of articles which go by ex
presa nt heavy charge?, must soon bo attended
to or lose tho benefit of this much needed
reform and retrenchment in matters of freight
transportation to tho "City by tho Sea."
Much of tho up-country is turning their
attention against thc commercial points below.
It has become an imperious necessity to the
interests of Charlcstion that tho unfortunate
Bluo Ridge Railroad bo built to Knoxville,
Tennessee. A word to the wiso ought to bc
en Ilici?n t.
One word as to tho educational prospects of
Walhalla. Tho Newberry Collogo being re
moved to tho town of Newberry, tho Walhalli
ans have gone to work, and have raised a fund,
in stocks or otherwise, over $20,000, as a
beginning to put in operation the Adgor Col
logo carly in September. They arc refitting
tho College building and improving thc Col
lege grounds; they have a faculty of teachers
eleeted, but as yet no Prosidont with certainty
of acceptance. Tho school will open never
theless. There is also in motion an effirt to
open a Pon?alo High School under tho super
intendency of Dr. Snicltzer, formerly Prosi
dont of Newberry Collogo. I think thero is a
good opening hero for suoh a school. The
olimato and water aro unobjectionable, and
tho order and morals of thc place will compare
favorably with any town.
Senator Conkllng Maltes n Con
servative Speech.
OsW'SdO, N. Y., August 25.-At thc annual
union of thc Veterans' Association ol this
county to day Senator Con kling made a speech
in which he said: "The future prospects of thc
country, nnd thc promise of tho future in
respect to material prosperity is anything hut
gloomy. Tho war was a great political, social
and moral earthquake. It brought on inila
tion of currency and of prices which brooded
extravagance in everything. Wo over-spceu
lated and over-did in many ways, and have
paid heavy penalties. Evory nation has
suffered and is suffering from tho hard times,
but thc future of America is assured against
everything but tho folly, the madness and tho
eowardico of man. Wc need to cherish earn"
est noss of purpose in public and private aludra,
the earnestness which comes of common sense,
not thc noisy pretension which is Hounding
brass and a tinkling cymbal. Wo need to
cherish a government of laws, nota govern
mont of men. Wo need roverenco for thc
Constitution and tho laws and observance of
thom all, especially by all in authority. Tho
way to ensure somo of thoso things is for
evory man, whatever may bo his occupation
or position, to give some thought and action
to public affairs. This is tho only mode under
our no? system Of government in which that
system can bo made effectual and just, lt
was to insure this right to every man to bi
beard in tho public councils and to bo counted
in tho majority, whoso judgment is tho final
decision in a republic, that thoso veterans
fought and suffered. On this vetoran's day,
i it cannot ho amiss tn remind you how high is
. tho obligation to discharge tho duty and to
assist and exercise the right for wliich they
1 died and endured so much."

P Ooh Gomez that thoro aro 25.000 volunteers

NEW YORK. August 23-Tho detectives

Tho two vexed questions which have agi
tated tho Georgia Constitutional Convention
most seriously after thc bond question, havo
been settled-the homestead nod tho capital
location. Regarding tho first, tho homcstond
provision, tho Convention refused to recon
sider its action of tho day proviens. So it
stands that every man in the State is entitled
toa homestead of tho vi.loo of sixteen hun
dred dollars, with tho right to waive it entirely
in all cases in which he may doom it advisa
ble so to do. As to tho capital question that
is loft to the pnoplo to decido upon, and it

NEW YORK, August 22.-Tho Tribune
thinks if there is any solution possiblo of the
great economical problem of tho relations nf
capital and labor, it ought to bo discovered
during tho present campaign in Ohio, and
throws out this suggestion: 1 It docs not seem
to have occurred to tho loaders that it might
bo salo to go to thc people with the plain and
honest statement that wo owe money and
must make sacrifices to pay it and that is
what we mean to do. It is quite possiblo that
thc people would rceogni/.o and admire the
honesty of such ii course and throwing asido
all crooked devices of repudiation adopt it.
