The Trustees are well aware of the in-

sued a course of studies different from
that taught, at the Universily; and they
arc determined to have an eye to it.

The character of Nashville is so well
established for health, that it is deemed
unnecessary to say any thing here.
There are several never failing springs
of excellent water near the Academy.
The Trustees arc convinced that' no
Academy ever commenced under more
favorable auspices. Indeed, if a distin

in the Guardians of the School, can re
commend it to a generous public, then
we are assured that this Institution will
be very liberally encouraged.

imprisonment." While, at the
same term, James B. Moore, con
