The State, under whose auspices this Col lege is at present, has acted toward this place with its chari.eteristical liberality for the ad vancement of the arts ami sciences. She has i loaned them ten thousand dollars, by which ; means they are enabled to construct large, i-ommodioiis and substantial apartments for j their iui ommodation.

The Maysville (Ky) Kxpress, speaking of the prospects of the democratic party in that State says: "The effort of the Know-Nothing- party in this region, to give, vitality to the organization and produce an effective excitement in favor of Fillmore and Donelson, has proved wholly abortive. It is beyond dispute, that the once arrogant leaders of the order are without hope and dispirited, their power over the sworn members of the party gone, their forces scat tered, their secret machinery useless, and their utter annihilation and defeat inevitable As the State elections approach, the sound con servative sentiment of the people is asserting itself in a most wholesome manner.

Their design is not to make money, as may be seen from their rates of board and ! tuition, but to place within the reach of the humblest cottager, a good classical education. There is no such thing as thoroughly arousing old Hip Van Winkle from her lethargy, and placinir her in that station, where stand so many, of her sister States around her unless we hold up the arms of institutions like this.

There is a story afloat which, whether true or fictitious,- is too good to be lost. It runs thus: Colonel Fremont, after writing his famous epistle to Bobinson, the bogus Governor of Kansas, proceeded to join his redoubtable father in law, Old Bullion, in Washington city. After the interchange of salutations, the, the very perceptible cloud which had gathered on the brow of the veteran politician relieved itself in the following flash of indignation : "Well, sir, I perceive from .the prints, sir from the prints, sir that you have been nomi nated for the Presidency?"

Months passed away and nothing was heard of the lost one; busy-bodies had noised around that Mariuda had been murdered by one to whom, it was said, she hail loaned money, and there were many who were too ready to believe their slanderous gossip, although the person charged, was of high standing, and too honor able to think of, much less do a deed of such atrocity; yet, as I have said, there were some who shook their heads with a knowing shake, and said, " men will do almost anything for money " A year and a half has passed by. The oc currence of Marinda's fate began to be obliter ated from the mind; those friends who mourned for her had laid aside their weeds, and had re signed her as lost forever. Let us now go back to the eventful night of her disappearance, and iearu the true fate of our romantic heroine. It appears she became dissatisfied with her condition, from some cause unnecessary to detail, and left her boarding house while all beneath its roof were buried iu profound slum ' ber; and for four of being seen by some one in the village, siie took the path leading up the t nmrgiii of the pond, passing by thc beach near its head, and them e through the woods to the main road. She found herself at daylight some distance olf, and determined, in order to con ceal her identity, to iloff the at I ire of a uroican, and assume Unit of the sterner sex. An opportu nity soon offered, for seeing nt a farm-house near by, a pair of pantaloons and some shirts hanging on the fence, she managed to secure them, and at once appropriated them to her own use. In this disguise she travelled on to lienuettsville, S. C, where she procured work ax a boy, anil dilligeutly applied herself for several months without cxcithig the least sus picion as to her sex. Her associates were with the males of the village, and though she fre- themsel ves in qiicntly went with the lnys to the river to wash, she never could be induced to go in her self, always volunteering to watch their clothes while they were bathing. Work becoming a little scarce, John (for that was her assumed name) left lJeimettsviile and went to Cheraw, where she labored for two or three months, until sbe procured funds enough to earrv her to Clm rlest on. In that th less city she was taken sick with fever, and thouiih After t under skillful medical attendance, she managed i to preserve her incognita. j John finally, like the moth to the candle, ventured too near her old range, and was dts- I covered, first, as oiip of hht nrifr;i tiyc iiin factory iu Fayctteviiie 4y some of those who n. -r-.

The words are plain Saxon, but the thought and manner are in the highest sijde of oratory: "Look at him, Mr Speaker!

Look at him, sir, with the sceptre of Spain in one hand, and the mines of Mexico and Peru in the other.

These and hundreds more. the nomination of Messrs Fillmore and son, a large majority of the Northern delegates seceded trom the Convention, declared tlieir intention not to support those nominees, and subsequently united in the nomination of Mr Fremont. This separation of the sectional from the national portion of the Anierkan party has occurred in every Northern State in the Confederacy. I deduce from these facts the nationality of the supporters of Messrs Fillmore and Donel son, and I submit the inquiry for the honest decision of those to whom this paper is ad dressed, irhaf, ncii-slarehohlivg State can this national branch of the American part', thus shorn of the larger portion of its origiual strengt h, promise its nominees? Let the Whigs of Maryland ponder npon the view of this sub ject I have endeavorod to present to their, con sideration, and no one of them will sav that a single non-slaveholding State is'.certai8 Jyjr Fill-. more and Donelson. lime, I think, will develop the fact, that Messrs' Fillmore and Donellon will be left without an electoral ticket in most of the free States, and it is at any rate the deliberate conviction of my judgment that t'nc' will not carry a single non-slaveholding State in the Union. If I am right, or even approximate the truth in the view I have taken, it will necessarily follow that any conservative vote for the A me ricau nominees North will be equivalent to a vote for Mr Fremont, as it will be a vote taken from Mr Buchanan, his only real competitor. : It w clear, then, that to the South alone can the friends of Messrs Fillmore and look for the probable chance of an vote; and it is to the States of Maryland, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Missouri, that they profess to look with the greatest hope of suc cess. It is manifest that if this hope were realized, it might indeed prevent the election of Messrs Buchanan and Breckinridge by the people, but it would only throw the election of President into the present House of liepresenta tires, composed as that House now is. Does not the election of this same House, after a contest of tw o mouths, of a Black Republican 1 .

Rumor says, that for a day or two previously indications had been given of what was about to occur. "Blower," or casual explosions of gas, luvd taken place. Two door ways had been blowndown only on the previous day, and there was too many reasons to believe the quantity of electricity with whiel the air had been charged, that an explosion cp a more extensive nature might take place. This was too fully veraified; and of the 200 colliers who worked in the Cymner Colliery, more than one half were at a moment's notice swept into elernity 116 human beings went down into the pit of earth that morning and of that host only six returned alive.

All day long the brave fellows who ventured down, almost in the face of death to bring up the dead, sent up the bodies of the unfortunate men and boys who had perished, and when these were brought to the surface the re cognition of a beloved husband or darlihg child awoke harrowing cries. On Wednesday morning the 110th body was brought out, aiid j it was left to conjecture whether any still lay j iu the pit of death.
