nreenaboro Female ' College
We'aUended the meeting of the Trus-
r;.rct fuli offeis hiarr'.t'-sfional unices to the , lecg 0f tnjs Institution on Tuesday last at
Grscnsborough. About twenty memoera
of the Board were preeent, and the proceed
ing of tho meeting, exhibited great una.
nimity and astrong purpose to meet prompt
ly, as christian mon should, the calamity
which has befallen the College.
It was unanimously resolrod to rebuild
the Institution at once, on a acale to meet
the pressing wanU of the times. A build
ing committee was appointed with plenary
powers to proceed at once to make the nec
essary arrangements for rebuilding, to be
limited in their operations only by the
amount of funds secured.
Kev. Dr. Cloaa was appointed Agent to
collect;thefunds, and Bey. President Jones
was appointed Agent to assist him in that
work, so far as his other duties would allow,
and they have commenced operations with
most encouraging success.
Groat anxiety was felt to continue the
operations of the College if a suitable loca.
tion and building could be temporarily ob
tained. The Alossrs. Foald of Oltn College,
J. V. Thomas, sq.,ol Glenn Anna Semi,
nary and tho Trustees of the Oxford Ma.
conic College, tendored to us their buildings,
for the continuance of the School. Owing
to various causes the Trustees could make
no decision, but put the whole matter in
the bands of the President of the Collage
and tho Advisory Committee. If they
should determine to re-open the School in
any short time, due notice will be jriven.
Wo were glad to find the people of
Greensboro greatly interested in the early
renaseitationof the school. Its citizens
had subscribed 820,000 and tho subscrip
tion was running up. Nothing has occur
red among us to wafeon such general sym
pathy as tho burning of the College. Every
oiiO calls for prompt rebuilding. Nor is
this fooling confined to North Carolioa.
Expressions of the deepest sympathy have
come from ourfrionda in Virginia.

DIED,
In Tamn Win-ler Hoanital. Va.. on the 12tH of
July, 1 8CH, of disease contracted in Camp, Sergeant
Jabei Hunt, of Co. F, '2nd N. C. CaTalry, Mr. Hunt
was among the first to leave his home, his aged
parents and everything that was near and dear
to him, and take up arms in defence of his country.
His last visit to his home was in Februry last, al
though in feeble health, be returned to his company,
in accordance vi ith his furlough, and was soon sent
to tho Hospital where he lingered for five months
until death relieved him ot his sunenng. JaDez was
generous, high-toned, intelligent and brave, and
during his service in the army won the admiration
of his officers, and the friendship of his associates.
At homo no man could have been more popular. His
remains were brought home by his brothe-in-law
and sister. Mr. and Mrs. Gardner, and now quietly
rests in the Church grave yard at Friendship in sight
of hi home, whiU his spirit has taken up its abode
in the bright mansions above. S. II. H.
At Hillsdnle, on the 1st of August, 18G3, Mrs.
Sarah J., wife of Anselom Reid, Esq., in the 29th
year of her age. The deceased passed a most se
vere and trying illness of some six months duration,
which ahe bore with heroic courage, and christa.in
fortitude. She was completely resigned to death,
though her ties to earth were strong and tender,
having a most kind and attentive husband., who
ministered at her bed side during bar entire sick
ness, and kind and sympathising friends, who alle
viated the pangs of disease as far as possible. She
has passed away with the dewy morn of young life,
when all its flowsrs were opening in glory oat before
her, thus illustrating that the son of God cometh at
an hour which we. least expected him. The Bible waa
her constant and consoling companion, the fountain
from which her life's current seemed to flow. Her
memory lingers about us like the oder of withered
tlowers. The vase is shivered and broken, but the
rose's oder is around it still.
Ran over by the train while guarding the James
town bridge on the 8th of July, 1863, (by allowing
himself to fall asleep on the track,) and almost in
stantly killed Lieut. Paris Chipman Stuart, aged 29
years, and II days. He was an amiable estimable
man, a devoted husband and father, and leaves a lov
ing wit's and child, a widowed mother and many rela
tions. Ilia bereaved wife will mourn his loss as a
faithful and loved companion and kind friends will
drop a tear of sympathy over his untimely grave.
At the residence of Charles Overby, in this county
on Friday, the 7th instant, Mrs. Jane Hardin, in
the 2:ird year of herage, and wife of William Har
din. The deceased, when taken sick was on hci
way to visit her husband, a member efCo. M. ,22nd
regiment, who was tick in hospital at Raleigh.
Should this meet his eye, his present location not
being known, so as to enable friends to write, the
bereaved husband may learn that his affectionate
wife died among friends ; that daring her illness her
every wish was gratified, and kind attentions be
stowed, and that her departure from earth's troubles
was cay with full assurance of immortal bliss.
At the reniJer.ee of her husband in Catawba eoon
ty, July I'.'th, 18C3, Mrs. Emily C. Lindiay, consort
of lr Anlrew Lindsay. The deceased was bora in
Rockingham county, N. C, 1841, alter her marriage
to htr now grief stricken husband, she removed to
Catawba county whwe she resided until called by
tue K'Tcat tnver of all blessings to exchange thia
wurll of sorrow for one of blii and happiness. She had
ma.te preparation to enter tne gates or the celeBtial
city alone before her early and lamented death.
"All her ways were ways of pleatantneta, and her
paths were paths of peace." She often during her
brief but painful illness i expressed a desire to go to
Jesus, almost the last words that she said were as
follow?: Jesus can make a dying bed feel soft as
downy pillows are while on his breast I'll lean my
bead and breath my life out sweetly there. Blessed
aie the dead that die in the Lord, yea sayeth thy
spirit they rest upon their labors and their works
do follow them.
lnthis county on the Gth instant, CHARLES D.
F. ALBRIGHT, son oft;. W. Jt Julia A. Albright,
aged nearly 12 months.
"Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid
mem not, lor oi such is the kingdom of heaven."
Killed, at Mechanic-vine, June 2G, 1862, while
bravely contending with the enemy, A. H. Dorsett,
t o. II, ifth N. C. T.. agc.l about 23 years. The de
ceased po-ses-se-l rntmy good traits of character, be
ing kind and ebedieni to his parents and to his broth
ers and sisters loving and affectionate.
In Randolph, July ;, 1803, Sarah Winningham, in
Ihc 'Jjth year of his age.
In Jamestown, of IMptheria, after an illness of i
days, on the 8th of August, GURNET OSCAR, son
el J. II, and M. M. Johnson, aged C years and 6
month. He bore his affliction without a murmur,
and retained his senses to the last, and on the morn
ing of his death told his l'a he must go, and was
asked where; he said to heaven, and just before he
died be called fur the family aot in sight, took them
by t he hand, kissed his parents and died like a lamb,
without a struggle,
" A bud on earth but a flower in Heaven."
.i?,"J2lph c?unt7. n tne 12th of July, EMMA
WOOD, infant daughter of Emory B. & Julia A
Kearns, aged 12 months, and 18 hours.
At the residence of J. L. Ogburn, near Flat Rock,
on the 2blh of May, 1863, HEZEKIAH SAUNDERS
aged 87 years, five mouths and thirteen daya Few'
men live to so ripe an age. IIU disease was typhoid
feyer, his sickness lasted about ten days. Theinfer
mity of age however had confined him to the house
for the ust nine months. His surviving children are
three dsughters, t wo of them by a former wife and
ne by his last who uxvive him. Capt. Saunders
The Standard. In oar last, we were
guilty of inadrertence, in publishing the
resolution which called the editor of the
Standard a " son of hell." We are far
from making any such charge We had
not noticed the objectionable language in
the army resolutions until it was too late
to be corrected. We intonded no personal
offence.
If a young gentleman who pretends to
discharge the duties of post master at a
point between this place and Salem, on the
way route, does not mend his ways we
maybe induced in accordance with the
popular wish of his community to expose
him in amaanertho necessity of which we
a J?4a
regret, liross carelessness ana inatten
tion to business, howerer, aro as culpahje
as dishonesty. Though the latter discrep
ancy is not charged against him.
Charlxston, S. C. Unpleasant as may
bo the reflection, the friends of that noble
city should begin to prepare themselves to
receive the tidings oi its destruction
We hope for the btst, but with the news
before ns it is evident that the enemy are
prepared to destroy it at the distance of
five miles, the post now occupied by them,
for twelve shot have already been thrown
into the city by way of demonstrating
their ability to destroy it when they are
disposed to de so.
But, should the city of Charleston fall,
that should not discourage tree men. The
loss of Charleston cannot work as serious
an injury to our cause as was the loss of
Norfolk and the destruction of that noble
ship which fell into the hands of Com.
Tatnall for destruction. The wounding of
the noble Buchanan was the parent of all
the ruin that followed.
In Beauregad and the noble veterans
under his command, approved and directed
by God, is our tower of strength. They
will fight to the last, and if it must be done
they will surely offer up the Queen City of
the South as a smoking sacrifice to the (rod
of battles, and by the light of her burning
mansions and blazing spires her children
will discovor the path to safety in the bo
som of the noble mother. May God pro
tect Charleston and shield her children
from this their hour of anger. Bulletin.
Thr PoUTICAI. CArCtra at Rochester !
A telegram from Rochester, 19th, gives the

Declines. E. J. Hale, Esq., senior Edi

been urgently solicited to become a candi

lishes a card declining the honor on the
ground that he can be more useful to the
Southern cause by remaining in his pres

As truly remarks a cotemporary, A true

Col. Piter G. Evans. Wo regret to
learn that Col. Peter G. JEvans of the 63d
N. C. cavalry Regiment, died in Washing

received at Middleburg. When the yankees
captured Col. Evans he begged that they
would parole him and leave him at a house
on the road until he got better; but they
refused, saying that they would carry him
to Washington if it killed him. Col. Evans
was a gallant soldier and a good officer.
He was in the primo of life.

Prixtinq Without Ink. A gentleman,
a large capitalist, and one of the most
successful inventors of the day, has succee
ded in chemically treating the pulp, dur
ing the process of manufacturing printing
paper, in such a manner that, when the pa
per is impressed upon the uninked types,
the chemical particles are crushed and a
perfect black Impression is the result. The
advantage sought to be obtained is the
discarding of ink and rollers, and y
revolutionizing printing machinery, and
printing from a continuous roll of paper it
is calculated that the time occupied is im
impressing largo quantities of paper will be
nominal in comparison to the reonirement
f the present day. Cleanliness in the
printing omce would thus becomo pro
verbial, and the time now wasted in making
and distributing the rollers obviated. We
have been assisting this gentleman in some
parts of tho experiment, and further infor
mation is withheld at his request until
letters patent shall be obtained.

BELGIUM AND THE AMERICAN WAR.
Brussels, Aug. G. The King of the

Jewett, the American friend of mediation.
Tho King permits the publication of tho
substance o' the interview. The Kmc
believos that the decision of a just tribunal
offers the only means for the restoration of
peace. Tho abolition of slavory, if stipu
lated for at all, should be gradual. Ame
rica and Europe should together make
provision for the slave Mediation is not
interference.
The other Governments should not be
unwilling to join France in working on
the interests of peace, now that the South
favors such a policy; that humanity and
the interests of the world has, in a gene
ral peace, invited friendly action. Force
cannot secure the welfare of America; that
an international judgment would cement
forever the foundation pillar of American
liberty ; that he would submit the matter
to the Q.ueeuof Great Britain.
