RANDOLPH MACON COLLEGE. and the Small Pox It being apprehended at the late Com mencement! that the child of a Lady who was there on a visit at the 8tewan'a 1111, had the Small-Pox and the Trustee! be- ing anxious that the pub!rc should be inform ed ol the progres of the disease, and that i the frienda and patrons of the institution should be notified when it would be safe for their ion to return to it, the undersign ed were appointed a L'o.t.mittee foi that Eorpoae. Fully appreciating the responsi bly imposed on us, we determined to jaaka n0cmmunicuti)in to ilia. public until we should be satisfied, by the most incon testable .evidence, sustained by the opinion of the Medical Gentlem n of Boydton, that the disease had been entirely arrested, tnd that theie was not the remotest danger of its return; and this coarse we have ad hered to, in despite of ihe nuu.ber of false and extravagant rumors, which have gone forth, representing the College and the vil lage of Boj dton at a perfect Lazaretio, fill. Cd with peatilence, disease and death.--tlow near these representations approach the truth, the mere recital of Lets will suf ficiently disclose. On the arrival of the Lady at the Stew art's Hall, it was believed by Dr. Smurt, the occupant of the Hall, that her son, (six or seven years old.) had the Small-Pox. The fact wa promptly communicated to the Faculty and Trustees, (the Board be ing then iu session.,) and the Lady and both of her Children were placed in a rigid state of quarantine, in the private apartment of the Steward house, having no commu nication with tan r one except to medical gentlemen and the necessary nurses and attendants. , . The : 90 had the disea so mildly that some doubt were entertained a to it being the Small Pox; he scarcely kept his b.d at all, and in a few days was quite well, with little or no marks or signs upon him, of hi having had the Small-Pox. Abou,t the time the son recovered, his tittle sister, who had been constantly with him, occupying the lamt bed, exhibited symp tom of the disease. Her' wa a mild ease, but more strongly marked than that of her brother, and left no doubt that it wa Small-Pox. She, in a few day, recovered, ana is now well of the disease, and these are the only case that have occurred in the neighborhood or in the County A gener al vaccination, and all other prudential means of preventing the extension of the contagion wa promptly resorted to, and more than twenty days having elapsed since the last case occurred, it is now confidently believed that there is not the slightest dan ger of another. So well satisfied are the t rustee of thi, that at a called meeting of the Board they declined extending th va cation, believing it perfectly safe for Par ents aud Guardian lo send their ion and wards to the College. And we pray the friends of the Institution not to be misled by report and rumor which, though en tirely groundless, cannot be arrested for some time to come; and they pledge them selves if another cue of Small-PoX occur ia the neighborhood, that it thall be imme diately announced through die Public Pros. am III luw iircaiiiiiuc, iiiv civwaru 9 nail will be Cleaned, ventilated, and white i-j f.t. .: .u o. !. 1111 washed, and if any. the leaif aoDrehenkion of danger should exist, it will be closed a a boarding house for the next session, there being an abucdahc of .bahllng 'hoiie without it, and another bouse earn occu pied a, a Steward Hall, If it hould be necessary to have one. - CiUW 11.

MANUFACTURING IN NORTH CAR OLINA.

While under tha State of things, we have been growing poorer, the manufacturers have been growing rich-. The individual -who. buys more than he sell, whose expenditure is greater than his income, sooner or later must reach the brink of poverty and bank ruptcy. The remark is equally true as ta a state or community.
