Besides what has been done by the State, and by religions soots and private societies for the ad vancement of learning and the diffusion of religious knowledge among the inhabitants, there aro several private schools, both in Charleston and the country for teaching classics and mathematic cal learning. Among these, one under the care of the Reverend Dr. Waddell of Abbeville district, deserves particular notice? In Ht from seventy to eighty students are instructed in the Latin, Greek and French languages, and such of the arts and sciences as are necessary to prepare a candidate for admission into the higher classes at ?he northern colleges. The school-house is a plain log building in the midst of tho woods in a hilly and healthy country, and too small to accommodate all the scholars in the hours of study. To obviate this inconvenience they are permitted and encouraged to build huts in the vicinity. These are .the rough carpentry of the pupils, or are constructed by 1 workmen for about four dollars. k In these "when the weather is cold, and under tho trees when it is ; warm, the different class?e study.

In the presence o j the students assembled a solemn ti and appropriate prayer, imploring b the Eternal in their behalf, be gins' and ends the exercises o ? each day. In this manner thc \ classics are taught 190 miles fro? * the sea-coast. The glowing pe ? riods of Cicero are read and ad 3 mired.
