<?fott rational. Columbian College, %Vaj?biugtou, I>. C. ! The collegiate year of this institution will here- . after consist of one continuous session, I>egin- ; in* on the last Wednesday in September, and ekfsing on the last Wednesday in day the annual commencement for conferring de ? reea will he held. ow . , The ensuing session will "fx*" ?? ,h" -ruh ( l the present month. The charges are: tin nn For tuitiou per session ol nine months, Vtu uu lT?e of room, furniture, library, and nt tendance ,, ,,, Board, (per week) i ' To those who do not t>oard in college the charge for tuition is the same, and for the ujms of room, furniture, library. Arc., &-'5 per session. There is an admission fee of S10, and a small charge each session lor eoaiwigencies. F uel and lights are fur nished at cost, and washing at 37 J cents per donn. The necessary college expenses of a hoarding stu dent will not exceed $1S0 or $190 per annum. All the bills are payable one halt atthel>eginning, and the balance at the middle of the session. With a view of giving to the diifereiit depart ments of instruction a wider extension, and at the same time of meeting a public want by rendering the advantage of the college available to a larger number and a more varied class ol students, some important changes have been made in the order and arrangement of the student*. A new course has been adopted, styled the Scientific Course and the degree ol Batchelor of Philosophy (t>. P.) at tached to it. It will occupy about three years, and will embrace all the studies of the regular course lor the degree of Bachelor ot Arts, with the ex eeplion of the anoient languages. This course will be specially adapted to those who wish to ob tain what is called a practical education, as the mathematical and scientific studies will have greater prominence than usual, particularly in their application to the arts and business of life. Those who may wish to become practical surveyors, en- I gineers, or agriculturists, will be enabled, with the advice of the faculty, to beleet their studies with special reference to those objects, and will receive the aid of lectures and illustrations. The doors ol the College will also be opened to those who may wish, under its general regulations, to pursue any , branch of study for any length of time. They may, j under the direction of the (acuity, select such sub- j jects as are suited to their views and objects in j life. and. on examination, may receive a regular certificate of their standing and proficiency in the same. , , . I The number of officers and instructors has lately | been iucreased, and others will be added as the ( wants of the several departments may require. Measures are in progress for filling immediately j the chair of chemistry, geologv. mineralogy, and botany in a manner that will add greatly to the in terest and profit of those studies. The preparatory department has been placed under careful nnd efficient management, in a build- j ing which has been handsomely fitted up for its reception. It has un able and experienced teacher, j und is under the general supervision of the faculty. It will thus a fiord the best advantages for laying the foundation of a thorough classical and mathe matical education. . j 1 hoarding pupils will be received under the un- \ mediate care and direction of the principal, and at j ubout tho same expense as regular college stu- | dents. The buildings have recently undergone thorough j repairs, and the grounds are being laid out and im- j proved in a manner that will add much to the con- , renience and attractiveness 01 its already beauti ful situation. It is believed the College never presented so rtrong inducements as it now does to young men who desire to obtain a thorough and liberal educa lion. J. S. BACON, ? Sep 21. President.

The company has 15,000 acres of anthra cite coal lands, lying mostly in Augusta county, 135 miles southwest of Washington city, Staunton station, on the Virginia Central railroad, is within eighteen miles. The Manasses Gap railroad will reach within twelve. The Company proposes to build a railroad to connect with the Virginia Cen tral and Manasses. When this is accomplished, it will be able to put coal in this city at $2 per ton, thus enabling the company to make from $2 to $4 per ton profit, and of course making it one of the morn profitable investments ever offered to the public. The lands abound in rich stratas of coal, from four to fourteen feet thick, and water free. There is also an inexhaustible supply of iron ore. similar to the Scotch and Welsh ores in quality arid richness. The Dora is the only anthracite field known in the State of Virginia, and is nearer than any of the Cumberland mines by more than one hundred miles ; consequently it enjoys, in re spect to distance, advantage over any coal that comes to this city. The coal is about ninety per cent, carbon, and entirely free from sulphur ; its ash is white. ' ADAM RUDOLPH. President. ADAM RUDOLPH. J AS. T. CLARKE, W. S. DUNHAM, C. Y. WEMPLE, A.

THE undersigned propose, on the first day of January next, at Raleigh, North Carolina, to begin the publicatiou of the North Carolina States man, a semi-weekly and weekly paper, devoted to politics, news, and miscellaneous subjects, and respectfully solicit for it a share of the patronage of the democratic party, their friends, aud the public. Invited by many leading persons of the State rights republican party to propagate aad defend principles which we have always held, and regard as the only basis of prosperity in our form of gov ernment, and inspired with a sincere desire to serve that party and advance its interests, we pro pose to issue a paper at the seat of the State gov ernment. In the field of editorial enterprise, there is ample room for those who are now holding po sition', as well as for others, who choose to enter into fair competition. The propagation of the principles of our party is a duty at once import ant, and to us peculiarly agreeable. The attrac- \ tions of the editorial profession and its honorable toils, together with a desire to extend its influence, has had much weight in the decision which we have made?a protession at once dignified and elevated, where the highest intellectual gifts may find full employment, and the purest patriotism make contribution to the public weal. We are persuaded that a journal, conducted with fairness and discretion?uninfluenced by selfishness and devoted to principle, may secure sufficient patron age, without interfering with the claims or rights ot any now prosecuting the same great work. Although mainly devoted to the discussion of such political questions, as they arise, which affect the welfare of North Carolina, whether relating to the federal or Slate governments, or such local in terests as may be of importance, it is nevertheless intended to make the Statesman a medium of ge neral intelligence. Accordingly, the state of the markets in the principal cities, to which our com merce goes, shall be fully and accurately repotted; nor will the attention of the conductors be less ad dressed to the subject of internal improvements, as a means indispensable to the development of the mineral and agricultural resources of the State. These interests, of primary importance, shall al ways command their fullest attention. To this they propose to add carefully selected and original literary matter. Being strictly conservative, they propose to avail themselves of all the lights of ex perience, in that progress, which promises the ad vancement of the interests of North Carolina. The general objects of the proposed paper being thus clearly indicated, it may not be amiss briefly to state the particular views which are to be sus tained by it as a political journal. 1st. Our purpose beingto publish a paperpurely de mocratic, according to the straightest requirement of that party, we shall advocate strict party organi zation in its fullest and most comprehensive sense; an organization which originates in the popular will, expressed by the people in their primary as semblies, and which has been so successfully in troduced among the democracy of many of the other States, by which the rank and file of the party are, in fact, those who indicate its decisions, and, being.all brought into action, express their will imperatively; thus, by open and fair dealing, commanding respect and obedience; an organiza tion of the people, and"not of intriguers; restoring power to those who, by sufferance, have tolerated its temporary usurpation. 2d. The democratic party shall always find in us advocates of their right to select their standard bearers, and to command acquiescence in decisions made by conventionsfairly elected in their primary meetings. Standing upon the good old State rights platform of *98, we shall oppose government corporations created by Congress for the purpose ol internal improvement, the regulation of finance, or any other measure inconsistent with the rights of the States. 3d. Believing that the platform adopted by the late Baltimore convention contains the democratic creed, they expect cordially to sustain the present administration, trusting that the policy adopted by those who compose it will be regulated by the cardinal doctrines of the American democracy. ?1th. They will advocate all such measures of in ternal improvement as promise by judicious prose cution to promote the interests of the people and diffuse the benefits of a system already enjoyed by portions of the State. ftth. The disposition of the public lands being a question of the most absorbing interest, we be lieve it should be at once met and settled. The unjust and unequal legislation of Congress, in re lation to those lands, and the an(l frequent appropriations made to the new States, indicate a final departure from the old and wise policy of ap propriating the proceeds of their sales to the pay ment of the public debt, and the expenses of the government. It has for some time ceased to be either a subject of hope or expectation that there , will ?ver be a return to a policy which had so much to recommend it. Believing that this sys tem of squandering and prodigality is not only to continue but to grow worse, we shall^ protest against it, and assert the right of the old States to their equitable share of the lands which remain. The power "to dispose of the public lands being explicitly declared in the Constitution, the exer cise of that power is a question of policy, both as to tho time and tbe mode." Believing, as we do. that it has become the settled policy of Congress to squander the public lands, we adopt the patri otic language ol Mr. Dobbin, and say that "all of North Carolina's sons, both whigs and demo crats, should protest, and demand North Caro lina's share of tbe public domain." 6th. Approving of the sentiments of the inaugu ral of the President, we shall oppose the acquisi tion of Cnba or any other foreign territory, unless such acquisition be in accordance with existing treaties, and entirely consistent with the national honor.

The times , and quantities will de pend upon the appropriations madq by Congress. There are large ncposites of c.lay suitable lor making bricks along the I'ue, and tne contractor will be required to furnish a sample ol tlrj clay and bricks before commencing the manufacture. None but well made hard burnt bricks, entirely acceptable to the engineer, will lie received, and they will be required to be made in moulds con forming in size to the municipal regulations of the city of Washington. Every offer must bo accompanied by a written guaranty, signed by one or m^re responsible perj sons, to the effect that he or they undertake that the bidder or bidders will, if his or their bid be accepted, enter into an ob'igation within ten days, with good and sufficient sureties, to furnish the bricks offered.

All bids to b? sealed <tnd endorsed "Proposals for Brick for Washington Aqueduct." The bids will be opened in the presence of such bidders as may choose to be present. As the certainty of supply is very important, the failure of a con tractor involving, probably, the stoppage of the work for a whole season, the United States re serves to itself the riaht to reject any or all the bids, and to mak? such arrangements for the sup ply of bricks as may be most advantageous to the work. ^See extract from Engineer Department Regulations below.)

CONTRACTORS AND THE PUBLIC. Auditor's Office, Post Opfice Department, IVovember 1, 1353. ttjhas beenlong the practice X of this office to pay the drafts drawn and nego tiated by contractors for carrying the United States mails, for the amounts, respectively,of their quarterly pay. It was established to accommo date the contractors, and meet their necessities, in advance of the regular and slower process of pay ing by the drafts or warrants of the department, I and was intended only to apply to one draft per route from each contractor for the whol* amount, (deducting fines, collections, &c.,) of his quarterly pay; but it has been, and is quite generally so misunderstood, as to be supposed to allow any number of drafts, and for any amount, not exceed ingin the aggregate, the contract pay for the quar ter. A privilege conceded for nccommodntion (for it was never anything more) has thus been made to embarrass materially the business of this office, forced upon it the settlement of the private ac counts of contractors, and thrown upon the ex changes ol the country, with a quasi sanction ol this office, a species of paper currency unauthor ized by the laws. It not unfrequently occurs, too, that this office is exposed to great and unnecessary risk in deter mining upon the genuineness of the signatures to the assignments or endorsements of the various persons through whosa hands these drafts are made to pass before their presentation. It is therefore deemed proper to give this public notice to contractors, and all concerned, that from and after the 1st day of January, ISM, but one draft for the pay upon each route per quarter will be payed, or filed for payment, in this office. This draft should state upon its face, that it is the only on* for the quarter and the route (both to be speci fied) on which it is drawn; and the signature there to should be attested by the postmaster at the place where it may be drawn, and one other witness; ami each assignment thereof should be attested by tiro witnesses. WM. F. PHILLIPS, Auditor of the Treasury for the Nov. 13. P. O Department. PATENT GAS REGULATOR.?The in ventor (Dr. Kidder) of this economical and useful instrument deserves the thanks of the gas consumiug community. The saving effected by the use of it will be found fully 25 per cent, in ev ery person's gas bill. It can be so adjusted as to supply the gas at any deHired pressure less than that of the street, and when once adjusted, the Regulator will continue to supply the gas at that pressure uniformly, without requiring further care or attention, and independent of all the fluctua tions of the street pressure. An additional advan tage obtained by this Regulator is a light of a more agreeable quality, in place of the bluish white color of the ordinary gas light, occasioned by the high pressure at which the gas is consumed. As an evidence of its practical utility, it is now in op eration in some of the principal hotels and larjre stores in New York city, who all bear favorable testimony to its value. It has also received the united commendations of'the press. Hotel proprietors and storekocpers in the city of Washington and its vicinity, desirous to avail themselves of the economiser, can obtain all fur ther information by calling on the subscriber, who has fitted one of these Regulators up in his store, and will give an illustration of it.
