 Messrs Editors:-How has it happened that the examination of the pupils of the Tuscaloosa Fe- male Academy has not been thought worthy of the slightest notice, or even passing remark by either of your brother editors of Tuscaoosa Is the education of one hundred females, who are to be- come the busy actors on the stage of life when the present generation shall have passed away, sub ject unworthy of notice? Or must we for ever and increasingly be deaened by the din of Congression- al rlvaries," without one happy moment of tran guilty" between "the rebuke and acclamatons of partisans and the hot warfare of for office" in which the learning calculated to digniy and adorn the female character receive passing remark in the Inquiry and Intelligence of the Age?

 ZENO.

 We are glad of the opportunity offered by Zeno to make suitable excuse for not noticing the inte- resting occasion of the examination of the Tusca- loosa Female Academy In the first place. our senior being absent, and the and perplexiiies of our little republic of letters" so various that we could not appropriate sufficient time apart from other duties to attend the examination In the se- cond place, it has heretofore been the practice of the Board of Trustees to draw up notice of the ex- animation for publications and of course, we expect. ed as usual, to be furnished with the article. In fact we applied to one of the members of the board, who said he would attend to it: so Zeno will see we are not so much in fault as he apprehended- And we feel pleasure in assuring him that the sub ect of female education is of deep interest to and we shall be ready to contribute our mite to it's advancement We feel no hesitancy in saying that if the Board of Trustees of the Female Acade- my in this place do their duty and keep their eyes steadily on the object which its founders had view, it will fully meet public expectation. No trouble nor expense has been spared in procuring tutoresses fully competent to discharge their important and re- sponsible duties and if under these favorable aus pices, it should not prosper, must look to other causes than any remssness in those who have the immediate charge of the Institution.
