SATURDAY, JUNE 8, IS50.
Tarbor6i Female Academy.
On Tuesday and Wednesday last, the
scmi-annml Examination of the Pupils in
this Institution took place; on Wednes
day evening, a Concert by the students in
music; and on Thursday evening, a Com
plimentary Party was given by the young
- gentlemen of this town and vicinity. The
' weather was remarkably pleasant, and an
unusuallv larae concourse of .Ladies and
nntUmon -mended the various Ji.xer-

CISC5.
The Academy is still under the super
vision of the Rev. T. R. Owen and L.adjt,
-whose admirable system of instruction
and success in teaching, arc equally cred
itable to them and advantageous to the
community. The rapid advancement of
the students in the useful and ornamental
branches of education, was the general
subject of remark; and the musical talent
displayed by the young ladies in that De
partment, under the direction of Miss Sa
ha!I E. Howard, was witnessed with ap
probation and delight by all present.
We will add, that the young ladies ap
peared to the greatest advantage, in the
opinion of some of the spectators, when
their exercises were continued and closed
at the Party, by operations on "the light
!-fantastic toe.? "
Congress
The past week in Congress has not
been marked by any special event. The
compromise bill is under consideration in
the Senate, and it is understood that s
long debate will ensue upon U, after the
termination of the brief recess ncccssarj
to put the two Halls of Congress in sum
mer trim.
Mr. Elmore, of South Carolina, tlicsuc-j
cessor in. the Senate of Mr. Calhoun, died
at Washington City on Wednesday of
last week. The death of two "Senators
from one slate in a single session of Con
gresses an extraordinary circumstance.
The Nashville Convention.
We learn from a telegraphic .report in
last Raleigh Register, dated Nashville
(Ten.) Jum 4th, 10 o'clock, A. M. that
"The Nashville convention assembled
on yesterday Judge Sharkey, of Missis
sippi, was appointed President, and Ex
Gov. McDonald, of Georgia, Viee Prcs't.

having adjourned over from yester

Henry I. Toole. Esq .:
Dear Sir : The time for the Nashville
Convention is at hand. A meeting preg
nant with the most important results to
the whole family of man. When -chosen
by the Convention of this Congressional
District, in March last, as Ks 'representa
tives at Nashville, while justly proud of
the honor, we felt most painfully the
dread responsibility thus cast : upon us.
But we have no wish or purpose to shrink
from it We felt assured that the same
God. who had led our Fathers through
the scenes of the Revolution, would lead
us also in the right wayeither by the pil
lar of cloud or the pillar of fire. We
otuevc we are all .instruments in his
hands to accomplish hh purnoscs: and we
knew by the past that those purposes for
the future will be just and merciful. Yet
we are at this time greatly perplexed, and
must confess that we see Viot those nlain
indications of what povidence designs for
tie f rw' rnnl-ln na tlniitJn X- i "
whether or not if is bur duty to ci in
TL -. ... - ,
iNasiiville at ihe time proposed. At the
New HanoVef meeting held in January,
one of us fek no Citation in saying that
by-the first Monday in Juhe, it would be
plainly seen that Southern Rights avouiu
meet with reasonable consideration froin
our" Northern brethren: of that, "we must
prepare to maintain them by dissolution
and war. vl was mistaken. The myste
rious veilof the future still hangs over
those events which must decide this ques
tion, and no one canrsafely conjecture in
what form they will be revealed. Under
those circumstances what can a conven
tion do? Nothing,, nothing at least but
mischief. Jgveh resolutions adopted by
it cannot possibly lie of service, ami would
probably do harm. Should those resolu
tions be expressive of a united purpose at
the South, to stand by their rights at eve
ry hazard, will they not justly be consid
ered thus uttered pending a negotiation,
as indecent threatening or idle blustering.
And if conciliatory'and mild, may they
not beget doubts in many minds at least
whether the hearts of Southern heroes are
not failing them,as they contemplate in fan
cy, the great Potomac sending her waves
to the ocean, swollen and red with the
blood of men poured out from kindred bo-
soms. jjesiues tms, a ijMivuie iuuvi;ii-
tion is a stiong measure, lull ot :Qonse
quences; when over, it will be like an esc
ploded bomb, no longer feared, not even
respected; or will have left behind it sad
and abiding evidences of its tremendous
power. We should reserve it for a time
of need, when like Sampson, wronged by
his enemies past all endurance, he might
wisely seek their destruction, even though
it cost him his life. Sir, we are persuad
ed that these are the feeling of a, large
proportion of the people of our State, nay,
even of our own district which has been
more forward than any other part cf the
State in this matter. We should now
misrepresent them by participating in any
action of a Nashville Convention" at this
time. It is the duty of every represcntali ve
to reflect, as far as possible, the will of; hi?
constituents. If we believe that ours de
sired our attendance, wc would go re
gardless of our own opinions, or our per
sonal convenience. But if the vole of the
District could, now be taken upon the
question, a very large majority wc think
would even forbid us to go. We shall
therefore not take our stats in the Con
vention at Nashville, unless some changr
takes place in the aspect of public affairs
between now and the first Monday iu
June. We arc much obliged to you for
an article in the Aurora of Wednesday
last, headed "The Nashville Convention
igain." Other reasons arc suggested
herein why the Convention should not
meet at this time, which you have thereby
mved us the necessity of offering here.
We hop those who do meet at Nashville
at the time appointed, will adjourn with
out any other action, to a more suitable
time at the same or some other-place,
when and where ihe whole South, with
undivided heart, may lift-up a shout of
joy for our glorious teuton preserved, or
rally .-with sad but determined purpose
around the no less glorious standard of
'Liberty and the Rights of the -South'
We are with great respec,
your friends and fellow titizens,

THE BEST -SKIN PURIFIEK IN THE" WORLD.
The wonderfureflects which. this valua
ble soap has on the skin and minute secre
tory vessels, is entirely different from all
other soaps, cosmetics, or lotions that have
ever been used. As an exterminator of
all spots, blemishes, blotches,' pustules,
and other unsightly marks, it is eminent
ly superior to, any other of Jhc kind, both
in its theoretical and practical points. In
stead of driving these excrescences and
impurities of the skin into the system,
which' most of these cosmetics do, this val
uable soap attracts these impurities which
so disfignre the cuticle, from the most mi
nute and secretory vessels to-the surface,
leaving till the vessels and secretions
where the impurities of the skin caused
so much annoyance, in a clear and healthy
condition. Mildly expelling from the;

those ailments, and is" called for aain and aaint
