by the following judicious T» uc Iters.
The Female department w ill he placed under the tin

Pin Sister of the Principal will give instructions in

Musical department.
I is hoped that the Institution, tiring thus organized,
will meet with the cordial Mipjmrl of all who are inter

of country. One of its |n vu liar advantages is, that pa

THE NEWS rtlOM MEll< 0.
Th# import*nl news lr.nn tin* army, which will he
found on our first page, remilnd us in tiir Richmond Re
M'llicM, brought try the l*srkti on Sunday, aid wrm
IsMocd in an extra the nt xt morning. No Richmond pa
per* were ffeeifed h> Utetntiil of tlist night. The new*
wan not generally credited, though we saw no reason to
doubt the main facta. The Republican, of Mon lay,
reached on by the mail of that night from Charlottesville
—Iieing the only Richmond paper received. It rontairi.
•mI tunli« r details, which went lo strengthen our belief m
the intelligence. Th# mail of Tuesday night brought
ua the I ii ion of Saturday light, w huh contain* d a con
Urination of all the prineipal circuiusUin es. We give
the items strung together by the I nion. Its editorial
nrlirle is in a high degri e exultant ut Gen. Scot' having
actually i nteied the city.
Tlun- is no doubt that the armistice was broken in an
informal way, each General charging the other with the
infraction—that there was hard fighting, in which our
trout* were victorious—and that tin* city was in our jmis
session. The Mexicans seem to have assumed lofty
groundsill lho negotiation. They could not have as
sumed lof'icr, if they hud been victorious. We see no
reason to behove the luu.or of an insurrection at Puebla,
and we doubt whether Gen. Worth is wounded.
Thu main point is that all hope of peace, for the pres
•mit, is at an end. In this w e are not disapjmiiited, how
ever much wv may regit t the failure ol negotiation. V\ e
now see no pr««|>eel of peace, and the question recurs,
what is to Ihj done? W e see no oilier course than to
prosecute the war with vigor. New iroojw will,have to
be raised, new loans negotiated, and new energy tram*
fused into the administration of the War Department._
lint when our armies are doubled in Mexico, and our ex
| it uses quadrupled, and their principal cities in our pus
Session, will the Mexicans, even then, hr ready to make
peace? We question it — hut, at any rate, we think it is
time lolet them he the sti| pliauls. Get the war he pros
wilted with all the vigor in our power. Get notour vie
torioiis Generals lie arrested in the moment of their tr
tiinpli by ilie want of reinforcements, and compelled to
allow the enemy a breathing space aflor every victory.
Some have eons .dr red the situation of Gen. Scott,in
Mexico, an not altogether without peril, lie had, after
the battles of the I'.Mh and iUlli, not more th in S.IKMf ,*f
feetivr mm, and no ruiiifireeuienls at hand. The com
mau l ol Maj. Giily, at Jalapa, may lie. set down at 1000
nu n. Phere was a moveable column of about I jOO at
Vera ( ruz.coiisis mg ol the Maryland regiment of vo|
unteers and detaehmentsof regular recruits. Gen. Gunn’s
brigade, from the Druzus—aUml tfNH) strung- had also
arrived there. Weshouhl suppose thes'troujw might be
pushed forward so as to have joined (iVn. Scott l.f.i,
t is.
Thu communication between Mexico and the n.a-t
seems t . he entirely interrupted, on the main hie at
least Gen. Scott’s ofiiciaI despatches hare doubtless
been intercepted.

hal they may give their united supp rt tu such w orks as
it may lie practicable to accomplish. And lie it further
resolved, that our Representatives lie requested to prisent
each ol these propositions separately to the consideration

shall lie trammelled by any other op|aisition to the others
which may arise among the mem lure of the Leoislamre

These resolutions aflix-l ns vitally. They recommend a
policy, which, if not counteracted by inovunents on our
part.w ill very soon deprive us ..fall liope sf participating

character. If the connexion la- compl-ted between Chat,

Some weeks ago, a friend called our attention I" a ptr
agraplt in a Northern paper, cuntaining a charge agan -1
Ht ig.■General Pierce, viz: —that, when his c mm «•■>«
was tend) rad to him. he declined its neceptauce until Ie
stipulated that lie should let-fivesix ntunlIts pay tad al
I wances in advance. We did not believe a w rd of lh
story and refused to notice it. The charge lias been since
very satisfactorily disproved. It is shown, that he ac
cepted the Colonelcy to which he was first appointed,
without a moment’s hesitation, though nt considerable
sacrifice and, of course, made no stipulations as to 'I*
higher ran.ission unexpectedly tendered to him. Ti e
