' ' " Yours, 1 - : J, SPEIGHT. j Land-Bill. We congratulate our readers on the defeat of the Land Bill in the House of Representa- ii vcB, uy a voie 01 iiu to oa. -- rftis "vote was gi- yen upon a' motion to lay on the table, and. .was in- tended as a test of the ultimate fate of the measure in the House.

At this pqriod, when the stubborn and implacable savages upon bur frontier ate tising ij every effort to invade and destroy the lives and property of our citi aensj threatening a war which shall end only by their extermination; it has become a triajiter of doubt vVhether that surjrfus, of ; which the opposition make so much Boise, will be sufficient for the exigencies of the nation'. ' It is atv. least very rertain, ' that Bhould the thirty millions arising from' t,he sale df the -public lanos pe squandered1 among the States, and these In dian disturbances continue as they have commenced ' thedefenre of the country will require a reajrt either to direct taxation or an increase of the Tariff. We have no.doubt, however " lhat some of the leading jiqiiticians of the opposition, would prefer to drain the Treasury of its present content,; for the sake of the temporary popularity which would arise from scatter in g the revenue, as well as the prospective blessings oianpt,iier A merira n ; syeteni.

Eating 'politicians.'--The nomination of Gen. Harrison in the Westias produced quite: a sensation, and invitations to dinners . are pouring in upon him n the most fl ittering abundance. He intends adopt- ngthe Whig example, set by Mr. Clay, of eating himself either into Or , out of the favor of the people 75 i he should not succeed, he wul have eaten many a good dinner in trying, arid if he should be elected he will have killed two; birds with one stone, and gratffied both, his palate and his ambition. If the Uhiel Magistracy should; be obtained by the Uene- ral, thert is no doubtlbat he will forthwith bestow summary and exemplary remuneration upon those bid ladies of Ohio j who made him a PETTICOAT "or his services during the last war. If that glorious flag should be unfurled to the breeze, : inscribed with a "hoe signo vmces' tnere need De. very little ap prehension concerning the result of the present Piresi dential campaign. We jee it stated, that the Cham bersburgh gis has hoisted the Harrison flag, and as we have never seen any other description of, its bfaj zonry, we take it for granted that it mupt be the ffvnecocfatic emblem above mentioned. - We do not think, however, that it will be generally adopted by the Whigs. of : Miutaby Movemfnts, A detachment of 40 U.

' ' ; y A SUBSCRIBER. '.; ; Frcm tiie Christian Advocate end Journal Dear Brethren :Having recently passed a week a! Randolph Macon College, it may probably afford tome satisfaction to my friends in the south to giye; through your paper, a brief statement of its present condition. ' . '; ' :- . -r ' iTThe professor of languages, the j Rev. Mr.- jSimSj not long since Vacated his chair in order to visit Eu rope for the puroose of perfecting ihis knowledge in modern and oriental languages, after which, he is to returu and coutmue las valuable services to the m- stitutron. To fall this vacancy, Mr. Uuncan, o ISqr- follc, Va., a "distinguished scholarfrom Dublin, , Ifts been elected, - and jt is , believed will accept the apDointment. In the meantime the dutie of that . chair are ably performed by Mr. Hugh Garland, a graduate from Hamdcn, SJydney, and tbrmerly a pro-, lessor of languages in that college Mr.. Lea o( the i University of North Carolina, is also employed as' tutor in that department of instruction, who has proved himself to be an able and successful teacher. . The professor ol mat hematics, .the Rev. Mr". Parkp, will retire from his office in June, with' exclusive vieivs to the ministry, but will have hisi place supplied by a gentleman altogether competent to succeed nim. The"preparalory school is now in successful opera tion under the direction of Mr, Winfield, and has about fifty students' . " j ; In the college there is Bow oVerone hundred young men, who, for appearance and orderly conduct, I will powtura to ayrertiot be excelled by-n similar in stitution in the United Slates. Though an incom-' petent judge myself, yet, from information derived from the highest sources, I have no hesitation in say ing, that sound scholarship can no where be more ef feet ually secured than at Randolph Macon College. ADOUi nuy oi ine Biuuenis are memoers oi our Church", and for their benefit, and for the general be nefit of the institution, the. Virginia conference have , stationed ! among 'them an intelligent and zealous minister, the fruit" of whose labors already begin To appeajr. ;S,V-. V'--":"'-'-. :v;"-?iV '"y S'-'h.l., '".'' l feel glad that i can so heartily record my testi niony in favor of this college; and in conclusion will confidently assure ray friends, that they need have no fears .for their sons :and wards, while President Olio remains at their head. For should the arrange- tnents now in progress fail to continue a sufficient number of competent instructors in the halls, ofthe college, he will unreservedly notify them of the fact.
