It is to be implied from the oharges that some complaint has been made to the President by some one, of Bpeoifio aots done by mo in violation of law or regula tions and I oannot suppose it would be received and acted on without being in writing. At least, it most have had form and shapo; and even though I may not know my aocnser, it is not too much to ask that I may be informed of the par tioulsr net which I am charged with having committed, and the particular law I am charged with having violated. On tnrning to the letter of G. W. Clark, Indian Agent, to whioh you refer me, I find that, in en deavoring to exculpate himself from charges of offieial delinquencies, he indulges in mnoh gene ral vituperation, which I oannot for a moment suppose yon wish to notioe; and the only mat ter to whioh I oan judge that your general allu sions oan apply, Is an allegation that in October, 1864, I, with others, prooured claims to be marked upon the Kansas Half-Breed Reserva tions. In reply, T have only to say that, as stated, it is untrue. In Ootober, 1864, several gentlemen, including myself, happened to be at the bouse of Mr. Ellison, in .a portion of the Territory with whioh we were entirely unac quainted, and bad never seen before. Boing informed that desirable claims were to be had in the vioinlty, upon lands open to pre-emption, we requested that he would mark them out for us; and knowing that the Kansas half-breed lands were in the vioinlty, but utterly ignorant of Iheir lines, we requested him oarefully to avoid entering upon them, as we had no desire to trespass upon these reservations, and knew perfeotly well that the marking of an existing reservation would be utterly fruitless and nuga tory, resulting in the loss of our labor, without the least ohance of benefit. Mr. Ellison professed to know the lines, and assured us ho would avoid these reserves; we left before the claims were marked, and I have never seen them since, nor do I know where j they were made. Ido not believe that Messrß. Ellison and Kranmcr made them upon these re servations, or if they did, I am satisfied they did it in a mistake of the lines. Finding that we coaid not personally occupy them, we abandoned all idea of them, and have never looked after them from the day they were made. That I endeavored to retain this claim, and advised an intruder to leave it, is untrue. It is true, in a conversation with one of the gentlemen whom Mr. Clark enaouraged to go on these lands, I ascertained that he was upon a section for whioh wo had contracted, and I in formed him that he oould not possibly secure any title there—that if the oontraotß were con firmed by tho President, we oould not allow set tlers to remain there; he then inquired if he oould not also contract for a tract, and I stated to him that there was one of the reservees who had for some time been offering to sell this sec tion at four dollars per acre, and if the Presi dent approved our contracts, he could without doubt purchaso that section. This conversation was, I think, In the month of February lasi, and so far from induoing the gentleman to leave my claim, or take another for himself, I distinctly informed him that it was impossible for any man to acquire, by set tlement or preemption, any interest or title to any of these reservations. Most of the statements I have made in this communication are olearly proven by the depo sitions and papers now before the President. Those which are not, and particularly my state ment in regard to the matters charged in the letter of G. W. Clark, I can establish boyoad all cavil by the testimony of most unexceptionable witnesses, if necessary. I cannot conclude this letter without again urging upon yourself and the President, as a matter of the simplest justice, demandable by the humblest mau in the community, that I should be informed of tho partiouiar aspect in which it is considered culpable, and if any law or regulation is violated, what that law or regu lation is. 1 cannot suppose that the President has any desire to avoid a rule so necessary to a correct and conscientious discharge of his own doty, and so indispensable to the exonlpation even of tho most innocent meu, and the absence of whiob, above all things, is calculated to bring the innocent and tho guilty into the same cate gory; and I therefore ask it in the fullest confi dence that it will not be denied. I am, very respectfally, Your obedient servant, A. H. REEDER, Governor of the Territory of Kansas. The above letter of Governor Reeder, it will be seen, admits the fact that he with others had purchased several tracts of the “ Indian Re serves/’ This was one of the obarges against him, and it appears from his own showing that it was true. From other papors and documents, which arc published m the Washington Union , it also ap pears that Gov. Reeder and several others pur chased a large traot of land and laid ont a town upon it, which they called “Pawnee City.” The iQteQtion of course was to make it a city, and tho capital of the Territory : and,gto promote that object, the Governor fixed upon that as the place for the meeting of the legislature. The legislature met there, but immediately ad journed to the Shawnee Mission. ' The Governor then deolared them no longer a legislature, al though he afterwards recognized it as such by vetoing its acts, declaring that be did so with out regard to their merits, but simply because it was no legislature. That veto legalizes those acts, because the same bills were afterwards passed by a two-tbirds vote. It appears, theo, that the Governor did pur chase, in company with others, several traote of “Indian Reserves,” on speculation. His own letter admits the fact. Ia regard to the purchases of “ Indian Re serves," the “acting Commissioner of Indian Affairs,” Charles E. Mix, Mr. Mannypenny, the Commissioner of Indian Affairß ; the Seore tary of the Interior, Robert McClelland; the Secretary of State, and President all decide that they were unlawful. No money was paid on them by the Governor and his partners, and ac cording to the oontraots made, no money was to be paid until tho President’s approval was ob tained. In showing that these purohases were unlawful, Mr. Mix refers to several decisions of the Supreme Court to sustain his opinion ; and a clear case seems to be made out that it was neither lawful nor proper to make snob pur chases. They wero the best lands in the territory, and had been eoleoted by the reservees, with refer ence to their position, as the best looatlona for towns and oities, and will doabtlees yet become sources of immense wealth and epeoulatlon. It appears, too, that the Judges of the Terri tory were among the purchasers. And it fur ther appears that the Indian Agent was never oonßolted nor his oonsent asked in regard to the oontraots. It lias been tho uniform practioo to refuse approval of suoh sales, unless under pe culiar oironmetanoes that seem to justify them. We subjoin the opinion of tho Secretary of the Interior. Secretary of the Interior to Oic JPrerident, together with a report o/ the Acting Oommutioner cf Indian Affairt. Dbpabtmeht of tub Ihtbriob, Washington, July 26, 1866. Bib: Id obedienoeto the inatraotion contained In year letter of the 11th instant, transmitting certain papers submitted by Governor A. H. Reeder in support of his application for your approval of oontraots, entered into by himself and Jadges Johnston and Ellmoro and Distriot Attorney Isaaos, for certain half-breed Kansas reserves under treaty of 1826, the same were re ferred to the Acting Commissioner of Indian Af fairs, whose report thereon is herewith presen ted. From a fall and carefnl examination of the pa pers submitted, in oonneotion with the facts nnd arguments set forth in the report of the Aoting Commissioner, I am of the opinion that it is, at least, very doubtful Vi hether the Indians have a fee-simple estate in the reservations. The Uni ted States have given no permission, neither to the nation nor individuals, to sell these reserves and there is, consequently, no power given in the treaty to the President to approve suoh sales. The established forms and praotice of the In dian Bureau should not be disregarded, exoept for the most cogent and conclusive reasons. Even if the Indians had the right to sell, yet •noh oontraots ebonld not be approved, unless it is satisfactorily shown why the Indian agent was ■ tt» f r .'s' r. .**■£■'i'-w « Hri\ '’» ■ . •.v •'■v •<»i h .•> •; **• "> ; -t : '• * '*t r . ••• v- f •1 . - 4, • ■ ' y \ not consulted. It is hia doty to proteot the rights and Interests of the Indians, andashew&s in the vioioity, why was not at least an attempt made to obtain his consent ? If the contracts were in other respects valid, yet, os the Indian Bureau has invariably dented the right of the Indian to sell—and that, too, pre vious to the execution of these contracts —upon the application of others desirods of purchasing, \ it would not bo proper for yon to exeroise the | power claimed for you, and approve suoh con- i tracts, until the Indian was apprized of his | rights and the pnblio made aware of the adop- i tlon of a different rale from that whiob has here- I tofore prevailed. 1 Although the governor of this Territory is not, as others, ex officio superintendent of Indian af fairs, yet, from his position, he is supposed to have an eye to tho welfare of the Indians, and should be tbo last to set an example at variance with the uniform praotice of the Indian Bureau. He should avoid everything that oould be tortur ; ed into a suspicion of unfair dealing: so, also, ; the j edges interested in these oontraots, who may 1 bo called upon in their jadioal capacities to pass j solemn judgment upon some of the questions j oonneoted with or resulting from them. It is necessary to throw around the property of the Indian overy guard which may efficiently proteot him from the superior sagacity of the white man; and as, iu ordinary cases, saoh con tracts would be scrutinized with great oare, it is mnoh more neoossary where men, from their offi cial positions, have superior advantages, and are olothed with power that gives thorn extraordina ry influence. From these considerations, and the faot that the Indian agents (whose reports aro not asorib ed to interested or malicious motives) are op posed to the confirmation of these oontraots, my opinion, heretofore expressed, has not beeo changed, and therefore my recommendation is that they bo not approved With great respect, your obedient servant, I r. McClelland. To the PRBSrDBNT. Upon the baok of tho above letter is endorsed “ Approval of tho contracts refused." FRANKLIN PIERCE. July 20, 1865. The opinion of the Acting Commissioner of In dian affairs would occupy several columns, and and is too long for publication at present. But ho sums up the case in oonolußioo, and oltes sev eral instances whore the approval of such rules of “Reserves " has been refused by the Depart ment, ehowing its uniform praotioe ; and this concluding portion of his Report we publish be low : I have now, in pursuance of directions, re ported npon tho “now papers," and given my “reasons” for my opinion as to their insuffi ciency, even in the contingency of admitting (whiob I do not) that the Kansas half-breeds bad a fee simple title, and a right to sell and alienate their reserves, to secure for the oontraots the favorable notion of the department cr tho approval of the President. Although the additional evidence, if properly taken, would seem to establish tho identity of the grantors, there are several objections still In fall force to tho oontraots, any one of whioh would be fatal, and have justified an unfavorable report upon the application for approval. Ist. That the grantors are only entitled to the ose of their reserves, tho ultimate fee remaining in the United States. Consequently, the trans actions being in violaiiou of treaty stipulations, and of tho 13th section of the intercourse aot of 1834, which provides a penalty of $2,000 for sending, “ any talk, speech, message, or letter to any Indian nation, tribe, obief or individual, with the intent to produce a contravention or iofraotion of any treaty or other law of tho United States," are, as a matter of coarse at initio void. 2d. Admitting, however, for the sake of argu ment, the right of the reserves to sell, the evi dence adduced, not having been taken in the presenoo of the agent of the tribe, Is inadmieai ble under the rules and uniform praotice of this office in oases where tho Indian graotors live with their tribe. 3d. I have already adverted to the reasons why the evidence of two of the white grantors, hus bands of half-breeds is not admissible; and have ! pointed out the defects in the other testimony, viz: that of James Byerly, and Holder-mao, and i Ward, whose disinterestedness is not alleged nor credibility vouched for. 1 4th. There is no proof that the consideration agreed upon between tho parties has been paid, or secured to be paid, to tho grantors ; nor is 1 tbo evidence adduced as to its sufficiency, in viow of its conflicting with the reports of the agents of the department, deemed satisfactory. The opinions of the acofedited agents of the depart ment are entitled to groat respect until overruled by the most reliable and unquestioned testimony. I deem it not improper in this connection to state that application was made in April, 1852, by Hon. J. S Phelps, of the House of Represen tatives, United States, on behalf of J. R. Cbo nault, Esq., for the approval o/ a deed to Cle ment Lessert, from Moses BeloionJ and Adele his wife, for the identical ecotion of land now proposed to be conveyed to Gov. Reeder and associates. Tho response of this office to that application was mado to Hon. Mr. Phelps uudor I date of ‘2oth Mny of that year, that “ the balf | breeds provided for in the treaty referred to | possess only a usnfruetury interest, therefore it ; is not oompeteot for them to oonvey an estate in ! fee in the same. Besides, these lands being situated within the Indian country, their aliena tion could not bo sanctioned without violating tbo long settled policy of the government, which ia to oxolude, as far as possible, the settlement of whites within what is called the Indian coun try.” I therefore return, unapproved, “tho deed from BeJlmond and wife to Lessen.” Again; that in July, 1804, you referred to this offico an application addressed to you by E. H. Norton, Esq , on the Gth of that month, making inquiry concerning tbo half-breed lands. Tho reply of the Commissioner to that letter was made on the 28th of July, as follows, viz : “ 1 have to state that this department has held that, under tho Gth article of the Kansas treaty of 1825, the Indians therein provided for have only I a usnfruetury interest in the lands set apart for | their use ; and, of course, the Indian title must be first extinguished before they oan be subject to settlement or sale as public lands.” * Ia a letter from Mr. Norton, of the 28th ult., to this office, he states “ your satisfactory reply to a letter addressed by myself to the Secretary of the Interior in Jaly or August last, Inquiring to know whether these half breeds could sell these lands or not, ioduoed mysolf and others not to eogage in the purchase of the lands whioh the Governor of the Territory has since pur ohaeed after, as I have good reasons to believe, he had read your opinion upon tho subjeot.” These cases might be multiplied, but those named are sufficient to show their oharaoter and of tho previous action of the department; and should Gov. Reeder's view hereafter prevail! there would still another consideration to be met— which is, what olaim would all previous appli cants, who have been denied the right to pur ohase, or those who have purobased, have upon the government before the department, Court of Claims, or Congress, for remuneration for damages ? Very respectfully, Your obedieot servant, CHARLES E. MIX, Acting Commissioner. Letter from the Secretary or Stele, Dis missing Gov. Reeder. Depa.kt.meht op State, > Washington, July 28, 1865. / Sir : Your communication of the 26th of June has been received and submitted to the Presi dent In reply, he direots me to say, that after due consideration of tho explanation whloh yon of fer in regard to your purchase of Kansas half breed lands, and the faots in the case as report ed to him, and oommnnioated to you by the De partment of the Interior, be finds nothing In thoso explanations to remove the impressions whioh he had previously entertained of the char acter of these transactions. He direots me further to say, that your com munication is not loss unsatisfactory in what it altogether omits to explain. The letter address ed to you by this Department, on the 11th nit., distinctly mentioned other matters of aconsa tion of the same olass. You assume that when clroumstanoes exist, in the oondnot of a pnblio offioer, whioh require the question of his dis missal from office to be considered, it is the duty of the Executive to make formal specifications of chargo ; and upon this erroneous presump tion you withhold explanation in regard to the matters alluded to, although they were peculiar ly within your own knowledge ; and you could not but bo well aware that some of them, more especially the undertaking of sundry persons, yourself included, to lay out new oities on mili tary or other reservations, in the territory of Kansas, were undergoing effloial investigation within that territory. The incompleteness of that investigation, at that time, prevented its being spoken of expli citly by this Department; but it was taken for granted that you would have cheerfully volunteer ed explanations upon this subject, so far as you were oonoerned, more particularly as you had summoned the legislative assembly of the terri tory to meet at one of the plaoeß referred to, denominated in your offioiai proclamation I‘Paw nee City.” I hare, therefore, by the direction of the Pre sident to notify yon that your functions and au thority ae Governor of the territory of Kansas are hereby terminated. I am, Bir, respeotfully, Tour obedient servant, WILLIAM HUNTER, Aoting Secretary of State. Amdrbw H. Rsedek, Esq., Governor of the Territory of Kansas. [Prom the Union, Angust 6.] The association for the eo-oalled “ Pawnee City,” to whioh allusion ie made In the letter of the aoting Seoretary of State to Governor Reed er, was an organisation to fonnd a town upon a tract of land which lies some distanoe inside of the exterior boundary of the military site of Fort Riley. The limits of the site, os originally declared, in orders from the War Department, etnbraoed a larger amount of land than the President deemed neoeseary for military purpo ses after the extinction of the Indian title ; and the reservation was reduoed, but this " Pawnee City ” was inside of the teservation thus reduoed. It is proper for us to say tbat for permitting this enoroaohmont npon the lands of a military site, and for complication in the acts of the associa tion, and fon military offenoeß conneoted there with, the commanding officer of the post of Fort Riley ia to bo tried, on oharges preferred against him, before a court martial, whloh has been or dered to assemble for that purpose.

REEDER'S REMOVAL. We pubilab to-day several documents in rela tion to Governor Reeder's land purchases in Kansas ; and, tbat no injustice may bo done, we publish bis own letter on tbe subjeot. We give also the substance of eeveral other documents, too long for publication at present, showing the grounds on whioh he was removed from office. We had intended also to publish the Memorial of the Kansas Legislature, asking for his remo val ; bat are compelled to delay that till to morrow. We eay still that we regret hie removal at the present time. Bat it is still more a matter of regret that he should have famished an; occa sion for it. Those who condemn his removal should at least publish the documents, that the public may be able to judge intelligently and impartially of its justice and propriety. But suoh fairness can hardly be expeoted from those who use every occurrence for the purpose of making political capital, regardless of truth and justice. Governor Reeder has made three mistakes that every friend of his must regret. He might have bought government lands when they were brought into the market, like any other oltizen. They could be bought for $1,26 per aore, and would no doubt be worth ten times that sum in perhaps five years. His right to do that could oot have been questioned, and no harm would have been done. But Indian Reservations aro a different matter. They aro lands set apart to Half-Breeds; and aro generally the best tracts in the territory to be ceded by the Indians. The rights of the reservees are carefully guarded by law, as it is supposed they are peonliorly liable to be defrauded. It is seldom that the Execu tive approves the alienation of snob lands, and never until satisfied that no advantage has been taken of their ignorance or their necessities. The Governor and Jadges of a new territory should keep clear of speculations in snob lands. It will at least give rise to charges of frend, and of using official position to promote private speculation. Howover fair the transaction may be in a particular ease, the example is a bad one for a Governor and Jadges to set. In tho next place the pnrohase of a large traot of land, laying out a town on It, and giving the name of a oity—Pawnee city, forinstanoe—may <Jo very well for private oitiiens, or even for a Governor and others. Bat when that Governor calls the Legislature of the territory to meet at that place, and thas makes it the capital of the territory, it looks very much like using his offi cial powers for purposes of private gain. It toots bad, at least, though It may bo tho best place in tho territory for the seat of government. The memorial of the Legislature to the Presi dent, however, represents it as a wholly unfit place, without any accommodations or comforts, and badly located. But the mistake most prejudicial to the inter est of freedom in tho territory, was the last nss tho Governor made of the veto power. He oall od the Legislature to meet at Pawnee oity. It met there and immediately passed an act pro viding for adjournment to Shawnee Mission. The Governor vetoed it for snffioient reason: to nit, that the Legislature had no right to fix the piaoe of meeting. The Legislature passed the aot over his veto by a two-thirds vote, and went to Shawnee Mission. Tho Governor then de ' olared that the Legislature was no longer in ex- I istenoe. He ahonld have heldjo that, and treat |ed them accordingly. BtfliSe did not do so. They pasaed several aots there, designed to favor the introduction of slavery, and sent them to the Governor for approval. If he considered it no Legislature he Bhenld have taken nohotioe of thoee aots. But ht vetoed them. That reoognlz ed the body as a Legislature and enabled them to pass the aotß by the two thirds vote and make them law. If he had taken no notice of them they eonld not have bad the forms of law. His own aot glveß them all the forms of valid law, unless the simple faot of their having been en acted at that particular place invalidates them. This was olearly a mistake, and it may prove a most unfortunate one. We ocoupy a large part of our oolumns to-day with this matter, as it is one of general Interest, and it is right that the people should be inform ed as to the faots. His removal is, of oourse, condemned by those opposed to the administra tion. Whatever the onuses it will be denounced so long as it is supposed that any political capi tal can be made ont of it, regardless of the rea sons. But we publish both Bides, and the peo ple can judge for themselves.

Whioh party is to blame it would be difficult to say—most probably both; but “ the first great cause ”of these unhappy occurrences are patent to any reflecting mind. It is the natural result flowing from arraying one party against another on ac count of their birthplaoe or religion; for all experience shows there is no animosity so bitter et those having such an origin. -•-• ■ +* ‘‘ ' V *j ■■' r *» . .' .■* ** 5 *- ‘ ' ' f &*> *: '* r-/-" <r* ,'■ •. .r- , i 4 k * v Troy, New York, contains 88,271 inhabitants.

About 1,000 bushels went forward la Juae. This is all that has gone before this year. There is a German named John Roesfield living In Petersburg, Boone oonnty, Ky., who has made 7,764 whisky barrels in the last three years and eleven months. Tbe barrels were made ont of what the ooopers oall buff. Tbe prlae for making these barrels ranged from 35 to 60 oents per barrel, so tbat be made about $2,876 Id three years and eleven months, whioh is pretty fair wages. The Sea Serpent has again been seen iu Sil ver Lake, Wyoming oonnty, New York. Mias Matilda C.

Dr. Franois Wayland has resigned tho Presi dency of Brown University, bis resignation taking effect immediately after the ensuing commencement He will preside ou tbat ocoa slon, and then terminate his connection with the Uaiversity. Dr. Wayland was appointed soon after the resignation of President Messer in 1826, and entered upon his office, we believe, in January, 1827; the graduating olass of the present year will therefore be the twenty-ninth that has gone forth from the University during the period of his presidency. Hie term of offiee, as head of the institution, has boon longer than that of either of hie predecessors; that of Presi dent Manning having continued for twenty six years, that of President Maxey for ten years, and that of President Messer for twenty-four years.

The papers brought by the steamer Northern Light, say; Colonel Kinney had arrired at San Jaan and was cordially received, not only by the inhabi tants, bnt by the offioera of the British ship-of war Buzzard, lying in the harbor. A full no couut of the Colonel’s reception and the pros pects of the expedition is given in the letters cf our special correspondent. Colonel Walker, the filibuster, was at Realejo, and had not fied in a small boat, like Pompey, from the theatre of his defeat. The following particulars of his disaster are doubtless more aathentia than any thiog before published in this country: [From the Son Franehco CUr&M, July 16 1 Farther from WBikn'i Expedition— Names of tho Killed-—The Destination of the Company* Wo published yesterday an acoount of Col. Walker's arrival at Realejo; a sanguinary con filot between bis little band and the Nioaraguan farces, under Gan. Boska, near Rivas ; his re treat and re-embarkation at SaD Juan. We have since gathered seme additional partionlars of interest. There is a letter in town, written in pencil, by Walker himsolf, just on the eve or his departure from Ban Joan. He gives the partionlars of his fight with Basks, and says: “The beys behaved as well as oould be expoct ed.” He was hopeful, and considered bis appa rent defeat equivalent to a victory, considering the very large odds arrayed against him. The names of those killed in the aotion, or subse quently captured by Boeka’e party and shot, are Aohlllee Kewen, George Cole, George Leonard, Charles Brogan, Frank Cole and B. F. William son. We hear the name of a Mr. Kerrigan, or Cor rigan, mentioned as among those killed, and of Crooker, who was with Walker at Ensenada, among the wounded. Tho names of the five or Bix others wonndsd we oonld not learn. It was reported through the oity yesterday that Walker had been wounded by a mnsket ball in the head, bnt this is not correot. He csoaped uninjured. Abont fifty-five men aocompanied him on his ar rival at Ban Joan. There he found the schooner Ban Jose, of which he took possession, and whioh, be asserts was a government vessel, full of arms, ammunition, stores, &o. The prize wsb just in the niok of time, and greatly raised the spirits of his company. It was hU inten tion to return to Realejo, and thence penetrate to Leon, the eapitol, where his friend Castillon was strongly fortified with about twenty-five hundred men. Walker says his men did groat execution with their Sharp’s rifles, and that full one hundred of the enemy were killed. Eaoh man waa armed with a Sharp’s rifle, loading at the breach, two Colt’s large site revolvers, and a bowie knife. Not even their eenrage oonld have caved eo email a band from annihilation had it not been for the superiority of their arms. Eaoh man carried thirteen shots, with a rifle that oonld be fired ten or fifteen times a minute, while the Nieargnane had probably nothing mere than the old Tower mnskets. Should Walker anooeed in joining CaetlUon, the latter would have a foroe of abont twenty-six hundred men, that might safely defy all attempts of the opposite faotlon to dislodge him.

Worms I—A great many learned treatises hare been Written, explaining the origin of, and classifying the worms generated In the human system. Scarcely any topio of medical science has elicited more acute observation and profound research; and yet physi cians are very much divided in opinion on the subject. It most be admitted, however, that, after all, a mede of ex pelling these worms, and pnrllying the body from their presence, is of more value than the wisest disquisitions as to the origin. The expelling egent has at length been found—Dr. M’Lane’s Vermifuge is the much sought after specific, and has already superceded all other worm medi cines, its efficacy being universally acknowledged by medi cal practitioners. jPurchasers will please be careful to ash for Dr. if’Lane 1 a Vermifuge, and take none else.

There are taro Courses of Study-one a Commercial, the other a Mathematical course. There will be, hereafter, Quarterly Public Examinations, by a Board of Examiners, for the awarding of Diplomas. BOOK-KEEPING*-—This beautiful art, so easy to acquire, so useful to every business man, and, as an avocation, fax more lucrative than most trades are, canbe acquired in a few weeks—being taught hero as it is taught no where else. Though every good treatise on this subject that canbehad, is in the library of. this College, for the free use of the stu dents, stm no one Of them is exclusively followed, fbr the reason that the teacher of the art practices a mode of incul cating a knowledge of It which originated with hiirnwir, and whch both he and his pupils deem greatly superior to any laid down in books. J Arithmetic, too the method or working used here (aad here only) is not only far easier to acquire, but It is also much shorter, plainer, and better adapted to general busi ness, than can be found In any treatise before the American public. It has- been called, and not Inaptly, arithmetical magic, from the extraordinary facility with which true re sults are obtained with very little figuring. In Writing, the chief aim is to impart to the student a bold, beautiful, rapidly executed hand, salted to Book keeping, to correspondence, and to business generally. It 1b the firm determination of tee proprietors of this College, that it shall not become second to any other of its kind; and they respectfully solicit a continuation of that Cow of patronage which has bo signally distinguished the career of this Institution, from its commencement Address “IRON OITY COLLEGE, Pittsburgh, Pa.” aug4 •- • A CUTE8XXT...,...... 8.
