Tl i? distinctive feature of this Institution is to bo found in its adaptation to the .finis of a school preparatory to the regular studies of the Arsenal and Citadel Academies. The absencc of any prescribed course *?t' studies preliminary to entrance into ' .the classes ol" the Academies, incident, doubtless, to the charity feature, and the \vi;ry low standard of education which was adopted at the outset by the Board, have jusiiy been regarded as very serious errors in the management of these institutions, livery applicant for admission is received, "provided he is able to read and \vrit? with any facility, and liis ability to pursue the entire course is determined during the progress of the session. The consequence is, that at least two-thirds of. the young men are dismissed on account of their nbsolute inability to keep pace with their classes, and are sent back to their homes without reap-. ilinr onxr Knn/ifi1 - ?' l. - - HIIJ wuviik TTumcvur j WilurCHSj U8U Boiue pains been taken to provide a preparatory tuition, nothing would have preveuted thera froui the successful pursuit of the entire course. Although undertaken by individual enterprise and having no direct connection with the Academics, the Preparatory Military School was designed to remedy this evil, and, as far as passible, has been fostered and encouraged by the Board oi visitors in order to this end. The course of studies has been arranged mainly with & view to subsorvo this purpose, and the school is so conducted as to afford the opportunity for the complete and adequate preparation of the young men designed for the Academic course.

During the present year, until suitable buildings can be erected for a regular gar- , rison school, pupils from abroad will board ! in respectable families of the town, under 1 the immediate supervision of the Princi- 1 pals: so that parents need apprehend no : want of attention to the habits and correct ' deportment of their sons. Thn disrinlSno ! of the school-room and the boarding house is very strict, and, ns far as wo are able to ' learn, rigidly enforced. The young men are * required to keep regular hours and to pur- ! sue a regular habit of study and exercise, ! and being constantly under the super- ' I vision of the Principals arc prevented '' from running into any of thos hurtful cxces- ! SOS which ton riffMi fliripni'tni'i/" 1 - ??.W of the ^oarding-sehool. We have had sevcrnl opportunities to observe the deportment ] of the pupils, and we liavo never known | hoys to conduct themselves in a more order- ' lv manner, and with a more strict regard to 11lie rules of decorum and propriety. The ' physical education of the pupil is rightly deemed an important point in the, course of ! instruction; and the routine ot' drill ami exercise is amply sufficient to provide n- 1 gainst an inordinate development, of the f I mental over the physical constitution, and ' to secure, as far as can l><?, that very rare yet indispensable condition to suecesa? 1 anno twits in no no cornorc. The militm-v ' exercises embrace from ono to two hours in ' each day, and are conducted in accordance ! with the regulations of the Citadel Academy. The principals have purchased a beautiful j plot, of l.-md in a retired and pleasant por-j. ti<iii of the town, and are now putting lip v temporary buildings until the. erection of the larger and more commodious buildings ' can be effected. As soon as this desirable * end is attained, all the pupils will be re- 1 quired to board in Commons, and to under- * go the regular duties and he subject to the discipline of the garrison. By this arrangement, the price of boarding and the inciel nil fjil will Ka .. ... uv iuiim;! i??ii> UIIIIIIIIMIUU, and very many improvements will be put | in operation which, at the commencement . of the enterprise, cannot readily bo effected. We need scarcely repeat what we have j' said on a former occasion as to the qualifications of the Principals, ami their fitness ** for the task laid to their charge. They are both recent graduates of the Citadel Aca- c, demy of Charleston, with the highest lion- J? v.i^ ui uiuir cihrs; ana uavmg been reeutn- " mended to this undertaking by those best qualified to pass judgment, tlicy bring with I1 tlieui the most flattering testimonials of , diameter and ability. Tliey are young men of high tone and strictly correct deportment, and we cordially add our testimony as to . their qualifications for the responsible duties . they have undertaken to perform, and their 1 fitness to direct aright the moral as well as 1 the mental and physical development of the j young men phiccd* in their keeping. It might not be amiss to say a word iu rearard to the location nf the past two or three years our town has ? not been exempt from those epidemic diseases which are common to every section of the State, but, with this exception, there is not a more healthy locality in the upcountry. Situated exactly on the summit / of the ridge dividing the waters of the ^ Hro:id and Catawba rivers, it is almost en- t ureiv irco irom trie usual diseases of the * Spring and Summer ; and persons need be || under no apprehensions of'the pestilences which now and then afflict the larger towns in the State. We have now 110 licensed retail-shops or other vicious places of resort, in Yorkville, and habits of intemperance are ^ indulged, if at all, clandestinely and in violation of law.

Extract from a Lccturc on JJaf/ml Poetry, hy James Russell Lowell, at Boston. Mr. Lowell continued: It was worth thinking of whether the press, which we have a habit of calling such a fine institution, be not weakening the fibre and damaging ttio sincerity of our English and our thinking, ^uite as fast as it diffuses intelligence. Consider the meaning of expression?something wrung from us by the grip of thought or passion whether we will or no. But the wiuoris quite as otten compelled to write that lie may fill an empty coining as that lie may relieve au overfilled brain. And in a country like <>nrs, where newspapers ire the only rending of the mass of people, there is danger of a general contentedness in common place. For we always become what we habitually read. "Weletour newspapers think for us, nrgue for us, criticise *or 115. remomlier fr>r 11c ?lr> /.? ?. us, in short, that will save us from the misWtuwj of licinq ourselves.

We spend more time over print hnu tln-y <li?l, 1 ?ufc instead ofcommuning villi the choice thoughts of choice spirits, md insensibly acquiring the grand manner if that supreme society, we diligently inform nuselves of such facts as that a fine horse belonging to Mr. Smith ran away on Wedlesday, and that a son of Mr. lJrown Ml into lie canal on Thursday, or that a gravel ?anlc caved in and burii-d alive Patrick 0' Callahan on Friday, (Laughter) It was us that were lt?*ttinir "caved in"' ill tlio tiino, ami becoming mero sponges to ako in tlio stagnant water ot' village gossip.

JuutiE O'Xkal, whose opinions we always highly respect, tlius spejiks on this subject in a letter to the Southern Patriot, sent from Charleston :?We are to-day trying a question of caste. Why does not the Legislature pass some act regulating these cases? Uevond all doubf, some rule, definite and certain, ought to be adopted. In Louisiana the rule is. that one eighth of negro blood is not enough to make :i person mulatto. In all such eases the party is entitled to rank as white! The truth is, it is high time when thcro ought to be some point fixed at which even slavery should cease where the negro blood is reduced so low that, the person is white, to all human appearance. I regret, deeply, that'our whole eo<le has been suffered to remain for a hundred years liable to so many revoltingobieetioiiR ?? <> really to he foun<l in it. I hope that Rome of the mouthers of the Legeslaturo will set about, this work of reform. Let onr negro law lie conformed to the principals <jf humanity, anil then, T think, we may safely oppose our institution of slavery to the challenge of the worhl. There is one prominent idea, which 1 trust, as a citizen, I may be a'lowed to suggest: that is, that, the mode of the trial of slaves and free negroes slum Id not exist any longer.

I think, too, there is a great necessity for a law making legally valid the marriage of a slavo man with a free negro woman, so that the issue may take from their mothcr as her heirs. Beyond all doubt, too, intermarriages betwween slaves belonging to the HftJKf. master or mistress ought to be declared good, and that they and their infant children, under tfie age of fourteen, should never be separated by sale.
