What strange river this Mississippi Is |!
Last week we were predicting an overflow,
and glimpses Of awful forebOdings were visi-
BILE upon the faces Of many of the river
planters; but within the short space of six
days, all these gloomy thoughts have been
dissipatcd, and the river is now falliagsat
about the same rate that, in our last, we
stated it was rising. Such has ever been
the case with us. When Ee would state
that the Mississippi was rising with unPa-
ralleled apidity-by the time our paper
came from the press, fall was sure to fol-
low-or, If falling, the result was alike CON
Trajectory to our assertion.


TEXAS VoLUNrEERs. SAC company Of about
two hundred volunteers from Kentucky
passed this place on Wednesday evening
last, on board the steamboat Tuskina, bound
for Texas, with the intention Of joining The
army. They were all, so far as VIC could
learn, .able-bodied men, in good spirits and
6no health. They carry with them the
best wishes Of every lover of freedom.


We are much gratificd to find very
Iaudable disposition manifested by the citi-
zens of our county, as well as the state gene
rally, towards promoting, to a greater cx-
tent than has heretofore been done, the
cause Of education, and the diffusion of cor
rect and useful knowledge.


Through inadvertence, VIC have neglected
to notice the exertions now making by a
portion Of the most respectable class Of our
community, to establish FEMALE ACADE-
MY in the town Of Fayettc, The branches
taught, terms per session, &C., will be
found in to-day's paper, and which We have
published for several weeks past. "


The Preceptress, Mrs. D. c. TIERE, is
spoken Of as lady of accomplished educa-
tion, and every way calculated to inStil into
the minds Of her pupils that knowledge
which will ever render them an ornament
10 society, and blessing to their parents.
That the institution may prosper, is our
heartfelt wish.
