For the benefit of pupils from sickly sections, our long racation is in the winter. Our building will accommodate about sixty boarding pupil. The bearding department is uiyier the imme diate charge of the Principal and his wife, who, with most of the other teachers, habitually eat at the same table, and lodge undr the same roof, with the girls. The fact tha we have semi-annual classes enables ns to enforce a higher standard of scholarship than is usual in the best institutions conducted on the ordina ry annual plan. Liplomas of Graduation will be given to those who complete our College Course. Tbankful for the liberal patronage given ns while at High Point, we appeal with confidence to the public for a continuance of tha same in our new and superior location.

These pills cured him. He is now over seventy years of age and in dis charge of active professional . duties. Their good ef fects upon others created such a demand for them that he was compelled to desist from supplying them gratu itously. They are hot recommended by the proprietor as good for all diseases, but only such as arises from DISOUDERS OF THE LIVER. .Many persons have I testified to their good effects ia Chills and Fevers, Bil ious lever, l e now fever, Pneumonia, Uvspepsia, e., Ac. They are an excellent FAMILY MEDICINE. Read the following: S. D. Wallace, Esq., Treasurer of the Wilmington and Weldon Rail Road, (Aug. 30, 18C2,) says : "It has been said that '-Dyspepsia" is our national disease. However this may be, it caused me long and severe suffering. Providentially a friend furnished me with a few boxes of the "Hepatic Pills," and the use of them has perfected a cure. In my family they hare been used frequently with eminent success. Among my ac quaintances, many cases originating from diseased liver, hare been relieved and cured by them. I regard them as an invaluable medicine, and take pleasure in forwarding this voluutary tribute." Col. Jouh Wright, of Goldsboro', N. C, (Aug. 14, 16C2.) says: ''I have used the 'Southern Hepatic Pills' in mj- family here and also on my plantation in Al buma, and always with success. I have a valuable servant girl who had been a long time under treatment for consumption, without receiving any benefit. Al most in her extremity I was induced to try the 'Hepatic Pills.' They were given according to directions, and she is now well, entirely restored by them. A similar case occurred among my servants in Alabama. "For liver and lung diseases I have perfect confidence iu them." Full directions and other certificates will be found on the wrapper of each box. The great rise in the price of medicines, compels the proprietor to put these pills at 50 cents a box. As it may soon not be possible to procure all the ingredi ents, it would be well for the afflicted to order them at once. From the price above stated, a liberal discount will be made to dealers as long as the pills can be furnished. Address GEORGE W. DEEMS, Wilson, N. C. For sale in Charlotte, N. C, by F.

The Knoxyille Register saja that the mountains of East Tennessee are infested with a band of outlaws, deserters from both the Confed erate and Northern armies men who are evading the conscription laws of both Governments. They haTe band(jd toether and are committing depre dations on private and public property, murdering and robbing whoever and wherever they can. The danger is that such bands may become numerous in other sections of the Southland that much in jury may be committed. Men who are mean enough to desert from the army, are certainly bad enough to rob and murder. It should be consid red a duty by all good citizens to arrest deserters wherevsr found. The four deserters in Union county who recently fired upon a party in search of them, killing Mr Little of Monroe and wound ing Mr Winchester, have not yet been apprehend ed. The Legislature of this State has passed a law to punish those who harbor deserters, and it would be well for the people to assist in enlorcing it. The peace and security of neighborhoods re quire that something Bhali be done to detect aud arrest deserters. EriTHETS. An aged friend, a clergyman, remonstrates against the application of epithets to the enemies of the Confederate States. He thinks it of much more importance to soothe than to inflame the passions of people that we shall not have peace till the passions have become cooled, &c, &o. With great respect for our venerable friend, we contend that it is very desirable that the yankee passions should be thus cooled, either by reason or by cold steel; but it is no time to talk of cooling the passion3 of a people so horribly outraged as those of the South have been and are. And we cannot consent that it is right to cal,' McNeill anything but a murderer, Butler anything but a brute, the yankee officers who 6teal pianos and plate and jewelry, anything but thieves and robbers, nor that any harsh epithet is too harsh to be applied to those who inault helpless Females, or wantonly destroy food and cattle and poultry, and private papers. We have no objection to the Yankee passions being cooled, so that they may see the error of their ways and cease to invade our country, but the South can do nothing by way of forbearance and soft words to secure peace and independence. That would lead only to conquest and subjugation. FayettcviUc Observer. Attack or Tories oh a N. C. Regimknt in Tennessee, A correspondent of the Columbus Enquirer saj s : Bushwhacking in the mountains has been re vived with more vigor, hatred and animosity than has heretofere characterized this species of human murdering in that locality. A few days ago a North Carolina Regiment stationed at Big Creek Gap was fired into by a band of these human devils. One man was killed and some two or three woun ded. Pursuit was immediately made, and they succeeded in capturing thirty-three of the men, also one who claims to be a Lieutenant in Lincoln's service. The whole party arrived here this even ing and have been safely caged. Wakino tjp from a Delusion. The Chica go Tribune, one of the most rabid of'tbe yankee papers, freely confesses that the ide.i of '-starving out the South" was a wretched delus-ion, gathered from Helper's book, from the New York Tribune, aud from Wendell Phillips's speeches, which has cost the yankees, says the Chicago paper, more blood and treasure than all the Southern armies. It quotes a few of their sayings, as follows : "The South would not leave the Unien though a bridge of gold was built to pass over." "The South could not exist three months without Northern clothes, tools, nor manufactures." The whole civilized world would be with the free North in a contest with the slaveholding South." "The Southerners are semi-barbarians (vide Sumner,) and have Dot the moral or physical stamina that would fit them to. fight Northerners," &c. These are certainly laughable yankee notions, and deserve to be recorded side by side with the sayings of those on this side of the line who insist ed upon it that we should have "peaceable secess ion," that "they would drink all the blood 6pilt in the war," &c. &c.

Searching Southern Ladies We under stand from one who has been recently subjected to the humiliating erdeal, that all ladies who pa.--s through Suffolk for our lines, with permits from the Yankee military authorities at Norfolk aud Portsmouth, are subjected to a most rigid exami nation at Suffolk. The creature selected for this business is a villainous, hagish looking old wooaan, who elories in being the widow of the notorious John Brown, who met so just a fate on the gallows at Charlestown, Virginia. Ladies are required to divest themselves of all clothing except ttieir chemisettes, and even their hose are not unfre quently taken off and turned inside out During the search, old Mrs. lirown mouiges ia lengtay dissertations on her ext'C-rtness at the business of searching, and boasts in a tantalizing manner, that no contraband article, not even tne smallest letter, has ever escaped her keen eyes, aided by a massive tir of silver spectacles, tone manipulates in dustriously every hem of the garment whicn passes through her busy fingers, and theu dismisses her vtctitn with some insulting remark about rebeldom and eecessia. Surely na-tght but a desire to get out of the hated Yankee dominions could ever reconcile high-born, spirited Southern IaJies, to submit to fuch indignities at the hand of one of Lincoln's most base and hated subjects.

TjEGISLATTJBE. v The Legislature adjourned on the 22d inst., to meet again. ,ot the 19th of January. We give the following portions of the proceedings for the last days of the Eessionr In the Senate, on the I8th,; the following bills and resolutions' were read first time and appro priately referred: A bill to incorporate the town of. Dallas in Gaston county; a resolution that the committee fin military affairs be instructed to re port a bill compensating militia officers for enroll ing conscripts and arresting deserters. - ' - r, The bill, to supply ;wdys-and means for the Treasury, passed its several readings. . It provides for the issuing of three millions more of notes of different denominations. In the House, on . motion f Mr Shepherd, the re&oiuuons relative to the imprisonment of cm zens at bahsbury were taken up. The joint reso lution, authorizing the Uovernor to distribute clothing and blanketa among theu, was read. Mr Costner moved' to insert "after the soldiers of our State troops are supplied," agreed to yeas G9 nays 13. Mr Grissom was opposed to the amend ment and moved to reconsider the vote yeas 43 nays 42. The vote was reconsidered. Mr Costner supported his amendment on the ground that the soldiers ought to be supplied be fore disaffected" prisoners. He had seen a soldier barefoot in the city of Raleigh. Mr Grissom opposed the amendment. While in favor of supplying the soldier, he was opposed to incarcerating prisoners without trial and letting th em suffer. The amendment left the resolution impracticable. Mr Peebles said it was a mere question of cloth ing whether the prisoners in Salisbury should be clothed in preference to soldiers in the field. There is not sufficient clothing for our soldiers, yet we are asked to clothe prisoners accused of dis-, affection. The question was between the soldiers and disaffected persons, and he would rather clothe one soldier than all the prisoners in Salis bury. Mr Fleming had visited the prisoners in Salis bury and found them better treated than soldiers, their rations and clothes were better than those of our soldiers. Mr Amis was opposed to the ameudment, the resolution was only conditional. If tbey were suffering they would be relieved, not otherwise. Mr Costner defended his motives in offering his amendment. Our soldiers were barefoot, and he would leave the prisoners without clothing in preference to leave our soldiers Buffering. Mr Harris, of Chatham, avowed his preference for soldiers before all others. Prisoners could do better without clothing than soldiers. Mr McAden spoke against the amendment, and in favor of clothing the prisoners, many of whom, he thought were unjustly confined, without the benefit of habeas corpus. The amendment was rejected yeas 34, nays 46. The resolution then passed its second reading yeas 75, nays 3. The second resolution was then read. It au thorizes the Governor to send the Attornev General to enquire into the cases, and if necessary o sue out a writ of habeas corpus, lhe resolu tion passed its second reading yeas 65, nays 12. On the third reading of the resolution, Mr Per son offered an amendment, " that prisoners should first make application for aid to the Governor." Mr Love thought these resolutions would place the House in an awkward position. We had en dorsed President Davis' administration, and these prisoners had been arrested by the Confederate Government as disaffected. Mr Shepherd differed from Mr Love. He did not think we crossed the path of the Confederate Government. It was the duty of the State to see ustice done to her citizens. Mr Love was opposed to consuming the time of the House in these discussions, and giving re- ief to disaffected persons while our soldiers and their indigent families were in want. The priso ners had had an opportunity of sueing out a writ of habeas corpus, and had neglected to do so. He was opposed to clothing supposed traitors to our country when our soldiers were suffering. The amendment was rejected, lhe resolutions then passed their third readings On the 19th, io the House, Mr Worth reported a bill establishing the office of Auditor General. He is to be elected for two years, with a salary of 82,500. Mr Shepherd suggested that the committee had recommended that two clerks be appointed by the Auditor General, to assist him in bis duties. Mr McKay moved to reduce the Auditors salaty to 82,000. Messrs. Worth and Shepherd opposed the amendment on the ground that a man properly qualified could not be had for less. The amendment was rejected. Mr Grissom was zn favor of continuing the Board of Claims and would vote against the bill. The bill was finally parsed by suspension of the rules, and Samuel F. Phillips was elected Auditor General. On motion of Mr Peebles, a message was tent to the Senate, propotdng to postpone the election of Magistrates until the 20th of January, 1863. The Senate concurred. The bill authorising the Governor to appoint the Adjutant General was read. Mr Henry and Mr Cobb, opposed the bill. Mr Amis supported it. The bill was rejected yeas 30, nays 49. Mr Hrrris of Cabarrus, from the committee on that subject presented a report in favor of ejnend- i ing 810,000 in the exploration of the Salt Licks in the interior of the State, and authorizing a further expenditure of 8100,000 if necessary.

This just and humane proposition was voted down by the "ConserrativVl majority! .We call the. people's attention to the sketch of the debate.

We have before us copies of two depositions, which detail the cirenmstances of one of the most fiendish outrsges which our truly diabolical foe has as yet perpetrated. These depositions have been forwarded to the War Department through our, generals in North Carolina, where the Crime was committed. The deponents are Caswell Woods and Elizabeth his wife, of the county of" Craven. Mr. Woods is certified to by Gen. Evans, as being "a respectable citizen and loyal to onr caeae, which with his being a poor man, steta to be the o:ly causes of the ficcdish outrages by the bellih savages." It is also stated that he is a clash Ira der in the Methodist Church. It is dua to ths civilized world ami to outraged numanuy, that the facts stated in these depositions should be known, and yet they are too infamously obscene to be fully described in a newspaper. The house of these quiet and aged citizens was visited on the night of the 2d of October, by two Yankee troopers, armed with pistols and sabres. One of them (the younger, who was addressed by the other as "Captain" and sometimes as John, rode !nln 1 1 1 A riiT.a Knrf nun fKa C ian A .n. mmA then rode in the house. The other, ' who was ad dressed by the "captain" sometimes as Charlie, o ' r . Mr. Woods had retired to bed. We copy from his depositions: ' "I came down stairs in a hurry, in my night clothes, and the one on the horse said to me, "you d d old grey-headed son of a b h, where were sometimes ns ueorp-e. ana i.ieutenanr. waited in. vou dav beiore vesterdov: and when I tnld htm I j - - j j . - j r - was home, he said, "you lie, for you shot at mo. TJpon this pretence they cut out the cord from a bed in the room, said they would hang him, but finally tied him, took htm out of the house and lashed him to a tree, rith the threat of instant death if he made any outcry or attempted to get loose. They returned to the house and locked the. door after them, and the old man had the inex pressible agony of listening for the rest of the night to the screams and doleful lamcutatioiisof his wife and daughter. The statement made by Mrs Woods in her ' deposition of what passed inside is truly heart rending. The unparalleled villia'ns made the poor,, helpless women not merely the victim of their brutul lust, but accompanied ths outrage, which is worse than death, with circumstances that mark them as the most devilish even among the in eft abandoned of villains. Commencing by cursing Jesus Christ, with pistol in hand and with threat of instant death, the deponent was required by one of the beasts to divest herself of every parti- : LIE VI lJVkMIIJ.

While such was her own suffer ings, the shrieks of her daughter in another room told that hers was a similar fate. About sunrise the next morning the human 'devils departed, leaving a horrible diaeaae with those whom' they had otherwise so terribly outraged! - ' It is with pain that such a sketch as the shore is admitted into the columns of the Enquirer. But it is due to our own people acid to the world that the villainies of our enemies should be known. The depositions have been laid before us with the suggestion endorsed thereon by the Ad jutant General, " that so much of this account as ia not too foul for -.publication sheuid bo given to the public, through the press, io order that . the righteous indignation of our people, our Generals aad our armies, may, under ths Providence of God, visit a just retribution upon an enemy bo fiend-like." Concurring in the propriety of the ! suggestion, we cave acted accordingly, We are happy to say that uen. Gustavus W Smith has directed every eflort to be -made, to ascertain the names of the parties, and to "de mand their delivery for trial aod. punishment.? We hope cop:c of the depositions have been forwarded to the authorities ot the enemy, 'hare: there are some, even among them, who would ti horri fied b v such conduct.
