Persons, 1 however, who may desire to place their daughrets with us ui an earlier day, run so. Havinc procured the services of accomplished Teachers In sufficient number to do ample justice to those I may be committed to his care, lie can with the most feet confidence promise, thai nil the advantages of a thorough and accomplished education will be secured lothetu. I The plan of the School will be that of a well ordered family, where all the pupils ill teceive tender and af- fectlonate care, and every endeavor made to render them comfortable and happy. To Inculcate a love of truth, and delectation of deception in every foitn, will I be the great purpose in the plan ul education, and eve- ry effort made to give direction and permanence to cor reel moral feeling. Ahuve all, will we endeavoi to Inculcate the truths of tbe Christian religion, and subject our pupils to Its holy influence.

But, beyond this, no attempt will made to Influence their relicious opin- Ions; and whatever Church thtlr parents and guardians i may prefer, they will be permitted to attend, accompu- nle I by'some member of the luiuily. The rnurse of Instruction will embrace all the ordinary, higher, and most useful branches of a thorough EnkIUIi education, together with French, Music, Drawing. Painting, 4 c. Other languages will be taught, if deslted. J'tie govcrment will be kind anil impaitia', but In every department, habits of order and neatness will be required, and occasionally opportunities ill be eiven to the pupils to receive company, uud every effott made to Improve their manners, and to accomplish for them all that could be reasonably anticipated.

Believing that Young Ladles should not be subjected to tbe ordeal of public examinations, none will be held. The system has been, and will be pursued, of having critical examinations eetni monthly. In order to itn press more forcibly on tbe memory what has been previously acquired; and monthly reporie will be made to parents and guardians, of the prog'ess and of each pupil.

Clk. THE ENQUIRER. RICHMOND, YA. Thursday Morning, July ARE THE WHIGS FORI Every day wc have new evidence ihai the country is becoming satisfied ol tlic wisdom, sound policy and beneficial operation of ihe great ineasiucs ol the present Democratic Administration. We saw in out late canvass in Virginia, that the Whigs carefully "shiiked" ihe questions da Tat ill, Bank, which have hitherto divided parties, confining themselves to misrepresentations ol the Mexican war.

Not Ions since we quoted an article Irom the Slate Journal, the leading Whig organ in Ohio, which boldly avowed the Democratic duct tine ol the wot hi lor a market, without i casting to the winds their once favorite notion ol the grand panacea pf a "home market. Another Whig ol the "lirookvillc (Indiana) lately paid a visit to Mas-achutelisand New Hampshiie, and gives his opinion of the virtues and operation ol the Tariff ol 18-16. Sec what he says of the "ruin" so clamorously predicted by the Whig ptess not many nitons siiicc: "From Lowell, we proceeded up the valley ol the Merrimack to Nashua, 14 miles above, ai Irom thence to Mam holer, 18 miles still further up. Lowell, Nashua and Manchester, three of the largest manulaciniing placo in she United States." "A few days before we leli Brookville, having called upon in ihe streets for our opinion on the Tarifl, we replied that we weie satisfied to let the Tar ill ol MO remain. The country wanted stabiliiv in matter.

1 he people and manufacturer demanded a permanent settlement ol this vexed question. iih the presen Tar ill, I ihe manufacturers were prospering: and it the Democratic party would retain the presen ranll, ihe Whigs, for the sake of peace, should let it I remain as it was. are more fiuHi coni firmed tn thai opinion. We have seen things lately that have opened our eyes a hide wider; but the way in which it was obtain-d, it s. not I'C published in the staffs i Who can misunderstand ihe concluding woids of the lie fears that to tear back ihe curtain and exhibit the whole truth, might be too severe a shoik to the nerves ol ihe advocates ol the Tariff ol and subject them to public lidicitle or indignation.

In Alabama we have shown how Mr. llilliard, the only Whig who voted for the Tarifl, and who has since on the stump boldly proclaimed that it would be lata! to Southern Whigs to advocate the doctrine of "protection," has been nominated lor re the grumblings of a few ultra Tariff men, and has even been brought lot ward as a prominent candidate for ihe Speakers-hip of the next House of Yesterday morning's mail informs us that another Whig candidate frr Congress in Alabama has taken the same ground. We mean Governor Gay le, an old politician, lothe Mobile Register, in a laie speech, unceremoniously diicarded all the old projects ar.dmosi cherished feelings of ihe Whig party, and made himself out almost a Democrat. He said ihat he would vote against a bank ot the Uniled was oppos-ed to any disturbance of the Democratic Tariff of 1846, throwing the Tarifl of 181? overboard without compunction-had always been a Jackson the whole harden of his discourse, says the Register, w.v assault on Mr. Polk; and, to borrow Gov.

own elegant expression, going "Mind" lor Gen. Taylor. Well may this Whig candidate, snd all the Whigs who proie-5 to advocate ihe election of General Taylor, be said to go blind Wc confer ourselves be utterly in a foe as to the old Hero's politics, though, to see the leaning of some of the prominent Whigs in favor of the Tariff ol iSlti, we think there is ground lo believe that he agrees with the Democratic party upon that point. The Taylor papers in Vireinia profess to believe him a thorough going Whig, high Tarifl and all. On the contrary, the Maiamoras Flag, edited by Whigs, disapproves entirely ol the nomination of General Taylor, and avows itst If in lavor ol Mr.

Clay lor the The Editors di-claie themselvf warm admin iol General Taylor, but awn their preference to Whig principles triumph. They say: "In a word, if the party opposed 10 the present Administration paiiv doiie a triumph cl en v. in the next Presidential election, they should unite upon the man honored name, Henry Clay surmounts this aititle. There is a charui attached to the name that will dra u. his suntiort every opponent of why feeu to bring another man upon the field! Any triumph, but a triumph of will be ephemeral in its nature.

surfer no one losurpass us in admiraiioti General Taylor's qualities as a man and an officer; but while the venerable head ol Henjy Clay retains the vigorous intelh rt it now hold'-, nothing in favor of any oiher man -dintl escape our pen or voice lor the Presidency ol Uuntil Stales." Upon this language the Vicksburg Sentinel may well remark: "This emphasis on the word "principle admiration ol Gen. Taylor only as a man and an not to be mistaken. 1 hese gentlemen, in the immediate neighborhoodul General Taylor and the army, are in momentary intercourse with these who hear his principles, and know that Gen. Taylor, is not a Whig in principle. and iliat Whig principles would no: be secured by election to the presidency.

Tool wlnggery hasindted caught a dreadful tartar in its.i tempt to advance ilselt by taking up old Rough and Ready." With the conflicting evidence before we cannot ior our lives form an opinion as lo the pcliticai sentiments of Gen. Taylor Why a large portion ol the Whigs should seem so clamorous in his support, wc explain, unless we regard it as a continuation of the game they played in 1840, when they nominated and voted lor Mr. Tyler, "without a why or wherefore," hoping to catch Southern votes. Willoughby Newton said that they then violated the golden rule of "honesty is ihe best principles which tiny afterwards charging Mr. Tyler with "treason," because he, too, did r.ot his opinions at ihcir bidding.

They were severely bitten they not be so again! If they honestly believe that General Taylor will carry out Whig principles, why not lurnish indisputable and unequivocal evidence of the lact? Our own opinion is that ihey go for power and its consequent "spoils," regardless of the principles which they profess. conduct in parading the name ol Gen, 1 aylor as the candidate ol the Bnti-war party, demonstrates this proposition. Their "blind" advocacy of an individual whose opinions, to say ihe least, are involved in doubt, shows that power, and not the success ot principles, is their aim. The duty of the Democrats is a plain The great measures they have so nobly and ar? duously fought for, are now triumphantly established. The country prospers under their operation and our opponents are compelled lo give testimony in their behalf.

Shall we risk ihe stability of those great measures by any hall-way, timid movements 1 Shall we nol continue to fight under the flag of our principles, by whomever borne 1 The Demociatic party feel and express the warmest gratitude and highest admiration for Gen. Taylor's great military services-but bis political opinions are not known lothe country, and the Democratic party are not in the habit of golog "blind" forany man, however distinguished. Should it mm oui that be coincides in principles wilh ihe Democratic party and be selected by them for the high office ol President, they will unite upon him. On the other hand, should his political views be those of the Whig party, the Democrats (an find some on? who will represent their and In every respect be true lo the I Constitution Smith.

The National Intelligencer "would almost swear" that the author of Gen. Taylor's procla' mation (prepared at Washington) borrowed its. very language in relation to the war lrury the proclamation in whit the British government attempted to palliate enormous outrage orllhe nationality of lVnmntk, in the atrocious bardment ol Copenhagen by the Eng'ish tied in i sot.

i On the other hand, the N. Tribune "convicts ol plagiarism" the auihc; Gen. Scott's laI mation, who is iiniversailv admi.ted to be none i other than Gen. Scott himselt. It says that the i fac simile of the document "will be fmind in the ol certain Propagandist ol a preceding generation to the a nation he came to subdue and fraternize." We give a copious extract to show with what I gross injustice a leading Winy papfr sneers at and insults a distinguished oflirer engaged in the i honorable and arduous service ol In- coumrin a distant laud.

It Scott and Taylor, who descive the thanks every patriot, tor iheit distinguished achievenu nis, have unjustly assailed, the evidence is to be found exclusively in ll'Aig pa pen- and rr.et-tingi: i i'fom the A'i Tnbhv.) Bonapartk, compelled by "a manifest destiny" to waste F.gypt with tire and sword, in order to extend "the area of Ireedoin," thus addresses the victims of his benevolence: "Cadis, Shieks, Iman', Choibadgys, you mil be tnld that I rone to destroy your religion Jo not line it. Let your answer be that I come to re! establish your rights and punish your usurpers, I and that 1 have mere respectthan the Mamelukes i for your CioJ, his Prophet and the Koran." I Ami the Proclamation to the Mexicans says, after warning them not to believe the false reports circulated in respect to the design ot theAmcri! cans lo appropiiute chiirc't properly: "We have not profaned your nor abuj sed your property, as they would have you believe." It is the opposite party, the proclamation soes on to e. the party who, on Mexican soil, are endeavoring to defend their country against invaders, whether the invaders Mate their inten; tion to be conquest or is this party that to plunder churches of their own lai'h nnd to produce general anarchy and conj fusion. This idea, too, is duplicate, and is fottti.I in the authority alrdariy quoted. Fiear ihe authority: "Bur, is ihete a fine cc untry 7 Is it appropria; led bv tbe Mamelukes?

Scotl will find the Halls of the Mi nteziim.v- an easy conquest." The same paper contains a letter Iron) Vera Ciuz, dated the 11th not so late by live days as we have received. It gives a few incidents of the late attack upon the train, and refers to the mismanagement of the escort, which may form the subject for the investigationtofa court martial. The letter concludes as follows.

We ask attention to the interesting portion of it, in relation to the opening of a new road through Oriraba nd Cordova. It in soul, that the road is now to be fortified, and occupied in all its more difficult by the Mexican troops. Hon Thomas Marin, an intrepid officer of the old Mexican siatr.p, well known for his gallant defence of Alvarado, is repotted to have eight hundred men under him, with whom hQ intends to occupy Ceiio Gordo again, he expects to be, by guerrillas, who can be gathered around him at a few horns' notice, in cases of.cnv rgercy. flu: tven if these reports prove true, ilia; road cannot be closer by Mexican troops. Gen.

Scott can deiach a division at any hour, which would again sweep alsuchobstacles away for the moment. I am inclined to believe th.it the General Intends to open the road to Puebla, leading through Orazaba and Cordova, as it seems lo offer seme advantages over that via Jalapa. By taking possession of these two cities, he would strike at ihe rool of the Guerrilla evil, by controlling, io a great extent, ihe mountain hordes from which this class ol soldiers is principally taken. It is believed that the bes: results would follow the opening and occupation of this road, and the General has received assurances that the feeiing of the farmers and wealthy citizens is strongly favorable to itc Americans, having been rendered so by tbe depredations of the native bands uf Guerriilaa. The country along this road is extremely rich, and its products most varied and cheap.

The climate is beabby and delightful, after leaving San Juan and Palmillas; and roads are good at all seasons of the year. It Is also a shorter route to Puebla than that through Jalapa. A great quantity of Tobacco Is produced in the neighborhood ol Cordova and Orazaba, the manufacture of which, into cigars, is a Government monopoly, the leaf bring purchased of ihe growers at a fixed price. This season, th? quantity taken by the Government officers at Cordova, amoun ed to eight thousand bales but, as Government property, it la liable to seizure by ihe Americans, while private property is Jjeld sacred. The Tobacco has been relumed to (lie producers to hold until its manufacture can be safely coin' me, red.

These eight thousand bales an' worth nearly hall a million dollars, and would find a ready sale. They aiehona fide Government proPpity, anil ns such would be a legal prize to our arms. In Oraznba, too, is an immense quantity very valuable, and like the Tobacco, the property of the Government. Thus you will observe General Scott might pick up a million or or so, incidentally, by changing siiehtly his line of communications, while such a change would secure permanent advantages over that at present open. he Editor of the Brookville (Indiana) Amp.
