Kditoes-As I have received repeated inquiries fojr information respect, ing tliis Institution, from gentlemen resid ing in N. C, and as 1 doubt not. there are many others who have sons growing up to be educated for themselves, tlie country, and the Church, who would be equally pleased with information on this subject, I have concluded to draw up a brief sketch of the College, and tho taciliues it offers for sound education, and send it to you for publication. , . ' The College is situated in - Washington county, S." Western Virginia, about ten miles from Abingdon, and within the bounds of the Holston Conference. It was in this body of Christian Ministers that the idea of founding such 'an institution originated, and by their enterprise and liberality it has sprung into life, and already assumed an honorable rank with the older and more richly endowed Colleges of the country. The buildings are of brick, substantial, el egant, and commodidus, pud furnish ac commodations for about one hundred and fifty students. Tho location is among the mountains of S. WvVirginia, and is uusur passed in the beauty of itsjscencry, and the salubrityof-ihe xlimate. r There is probably no spot in the U. S. more favored in tliis ,respect To those, therefore, at the South, who have sons to educate, and who find it necessary to - retire from the heat and sickliness of summer, this part of Virginia oilers a most desirable retread. This we recommend with particular refer ence to the advantages of this Institution, and, from the conviction that there it no seat of learning in this part of the Union where tlieir sons could be placed w ith more certainty of receiving a sound- and practi cal education ;t nor one where they, could enjoy greater security of health and mor tals. . - The College is situated in thc coun try, remote from the ordinary temptations to vice and dissipation which infest villages and townsi and the Students arc directly, and at all times, under thc immediate su pervision of the Faculty .c Connected with rthe College there; is a Farm, on which the Students are required to labor a portion of - each day The ex perience of three years has demjnstratcd merely theoretic, but tubslantml awl rem.

Another obvious advan tage and one which those paents will not lightly -esteem who regard thc moral tcel- fare of their sons, is, that when thus use fully employed their feelings are elevated by ; aconsciousness of usefulness, and the temptations to misconduct and vice arc in a great measure removed.' This we claim as ouc oLtlic great aud most salutary bless ings resulting from the Manual Labor Sys tem, and tothis-weattribute in a great de gree the high tone of -morality and !good conduct which has thus fur characterised tlie College. Added to these,, however, the spirit of extravagance in dress, in -furnishing rooms," occ, so common in most Colleges is repressed, and thc Student has the satisfaction of feeling that while he is enriching his mind and invigorating his healthj-he-is also-reducing .the-A-xpenses otl lus education a - reflection of no trifling importance in these times of pecuniary em barrassment. .

In this respect tlie success of thc College thus far, and its growing reputation are a sufficient-witness. . j : : ; - The CollcgeTlabrary contains about a thousand well selected volumes, and is con stantly increasing.

Many an. unwise parent labors hard and lives sparingly all his life for the purpose of leaving enougn to, give his children a start in the world, as it is called. Setting a young man afloat with, money left him by his relatives is like tying bladders under the arm of one who cannot swim; ten chances to one he will lose his bladders and go to the bottom." Teach him to swim, and he will never need the bladders. Give vour child a sound education, and you have done enough for him. See too that his morals arc pure, his mind cultivated, and his whole nature made subservient to the; law! which goern men, and you have given him what wUl be of more value than .the wealth of the Indies'. You have given him a start which no misfortune can deprive him of. Thc earlier you teach him to depend upon his own resources, the better. "The Melon of Persia, is supposed to be unrivalled." So we find it in tlie Ency. clopcedia of Geography, and so we believe, from eating one raised in our garden this year, from seed procured through the U. S. Patent Office. We received the seeds from a member of Congress from another State, to wliose liberality, aided by tlie skill and manuring hand of our gardener,we arc in a great degree indebted for, the luxury of a "Persian Melim," groWH in S. W. Virgi nia. We have never met with any thing of thc kind at all equal to this melon; and though we raised only five this year from tne vine, we have saved seed enough, and to spa re-a few to such of our neighbors as may desire to cultivate this rare exotic. To preserve" this variety distinct it should be planted separate and'hpart from every 'variety of the vine genus or sjKtics. If grown near to thc cucumber or squashes, or any melon of a diflerent kind, the dis tinctive quality will be destroyed by admix ture. Abingdon Virginian. . Please send us a few, neighbor.
