(t&uratijoual. Columbian College, Ma^liiugtou, 1J. C. ^I^iie collegiate year ol' this institution will Uere I tiller roiiMci ofonu continuous sesuou, begin ing 0? the last Wednesday in September, and closing on the last Wednesday in June, on which day the. animal commencement lor conferring de gree* Will be held. The ciuuing teuuoii will open on the 2Slh ol the present tnoulh. The charges are: For tuition per session of nine months, $40 00 Use ol room, furniture, library, and at To tiio.se who do not board in college the charge for tuition i? the same, and lor the use of room, furniture, library, flee., $2?> per session. There is an rtdinission fee ol $10, and a small charge each session for contingencies. Fuel and lights are fur nished at cost, and washing at 37$ cents per dozen. The necessary college expense* of a boarding stu dent will not exceed $180 or $190 per annum. All the lulls are payable one half at the beginning, and the balance at the middle of the session. With a view of giving to the diHerent 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 of students, some important changes have been made in the order and arrangement of the students. A new coursc lias been adopted, styled the Scientific Coursc, and I lie degree of Batchelor of Philosophy (B. P.) at t iched to it. It will occupy about three years, and will embrace all the studies of the regular course for the degree of Bachelor of Arts, with the ex ception of the ancient languages. This coursc 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 gineers, or agriculturists, will be enabled, with the advice of the faculty, to select 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 purstie any branch of study for any length of time. They may, under the direction of the faculty, select such sub jects as are suited to their views and objects in life, and, on examination, may receive a regular certificate of their standing and proficiency in the ?ame. The number of officers and instructors has lately been increased, and others will be added as the wants of the several departments may require. Measures are in progress for filling immediately the chair of chemistry, geology, 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 tmdercureful and efficient management, ia a build ing which has been handsomely fitted up for its reception. It has an able and experienced teacher, and is under the general supervision of the faculty. It will thus afford the best advantages for laying the foundation of a thorough classical and mathe matical education. ikiardiug pupils will be received under the im mediate care and direction of the principal, and at al>out the same expense as regular college stu dents. The buildings have recently undergone thorough repairs, and the grounds are being laiiiwut and im proved in a manner that will add mnch to the con venience and attractiveness of its already beauti ful situation. It is believed the College never presented so strong inducements as it now does to young men who desire to obtain a thorough and liberal ednca tendauce Board, (per week) 30 00 2 25 tion. Sep 21. J.

Shares, $lo each, paya ble in instalments. Books for subscription to the stock of this Company are now open at the otfice of ADAMS & STE\ ENS, 9th St., opposite the Patent Office, where specimens of the coal may be seen. 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 S-l per ton profit, and of course making it one of the most 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 and 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 rc speet 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 ask is white. ADAM RUDOLPH, President. ADAM RUDOLPH, JAS. T. CLARKE, W. S. DUNHAM, C. Y. WEMPLE, A. NICHOLAS, ALFRED E.

THE undersigned propose, on life first day of January next, at Kaleigh, North Carolina, to begin the publication 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, and tne 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 ol gov ernment, and inspired with a siuoere desire to serve that party and advance its interests, wo 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 profession at once dignified and elevated, where the highest intellectual gifts may find full employment, aud the purest patriotism make contribution to tho public weal. We are persuajed 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 of 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 State governments, or such local in terests as may be of importance, it is nevertheless intended to make the Statetman a medium neral intelligence. Accordingly, the state of the markets in the principal cities, to which oujr com merce goes, shall be fully and accurately reported; 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 mineval 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 gen -ral 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. 1 st. Our purpose beingto publish a paper purely de mocratic, according to the straightest requirements of that party, we shall advocate strict party organi zation iu 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 ol many ol 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 rcspect 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 conventions fairly elected in their primary meetings. ? Standing upon the good old State rights platform of'9ft, 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. ?lib. 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. ...... I 5th. 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 ligion to those lands, and the large and frequent appropriations made to the new Slates, 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 ever 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 ihe public lands being explicitly declared in the Constitution, the exer cise of that power is a question of policy, both as to the time and the mode.' Believing, as we do. that it has become the settled policy of Congress to squander the public lands, we adopt the P^n* otic language of Mr. Dobbin, and say that all of Jforth Carolina'* sons, both wings and demo crats, should protest, and demand North Caro lina's share of the public domain." _ (Hh. Approving of the sentiments of the inaugn 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. Tf.rms.?For the semi-weekly, $4 ner annum; and for the weekly, $2; pavment in advance. Communications should be addressed to '"The editor of the North Carolina Statesman, Raleigh, N. C."

PATENT GAS REGULATOR.?The lu ventor (Dr. Kidder) of this economical and useful instrument deserves the thanks of the gas consuming community. The saving effected by the use of it will he found fully 23 per cent, in ev ery person's gas hill. It can he so adjusted as to supply the gas at any desired pressure less than that of the street, and when once adjusted, the Regulator will continue to supply the gas at thut pressure uniformly, without requiring further care kor 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 soine of the principal hotels and large 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 storekeepers in the city of Washington and its vicinity, desirous to avail themselves of the economises 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.
