ol was soon closed. Four years is a brief time for an educational institution to exist, not long enough to make a deep impression on a community. If I have given you a glimpse of what one boarding school life was fifty years ago, I have done all, and perhaps more, than I expected. The founder and principal of the seminary had the highest hopes of its stability and success, and in these hopes and beliefs she was supported by the press and friends in many states. As I quoted from the Norfolk Herald at the beginning of my paper, let me end with a quotation from one published at Boston at this time. Among the proudest boasts of New England, none may be more justly indulged than those referring to our admirable schools. We have the means of education profusely scattered upon every side; and while our public institutions deserve especial commendation, there exist private ones most eminently adapted to public wants, and meeting exigencies which cannot otherwise be reached.

o Cape Henlopen and hauled their boat seven miles to the next inland water, proceeded south as far as that would carry them, and then disembarked and dragged the yawl five miles further, until they reached the water between the mainland and the islands which skirt the coast of Maryland and the Eastern shore of Virginia. Down this they made their way to Chincoteague inlet, whence they emerged into the Atlantic and finally landed in Lynhaven, where their boat was carried three miles farther and launched into the Eastern branch of the Elizabeth River.--They arrived here on Friday evening, having suffered occasionally for want of provisions and water. Capt. Rue says that the excitement in New York is calming down, and the enlistments were confined to those who had nothing else before them but starvation. He saw a company of men without coats or shoes who were to be sent South, but the men were more anxious to go where they could get something to eat than to fight.--Norfolk Herald.

"Things are Progressing." --The Wilmington (N. C.) Journal, in an editorial upon the events of the day, says: As soon as Virginia and North Carolina are actually members of the Confederacy, they will be ready to show that they are live members. Things are progressing, if not with telegraphic speed, at least as fast as they can be expected to get along, and before Lincoln is ready to march his men in buckram, as programmed by the New York Tribune and Herald, we rather think that his heroes will find the Potomac, the Rappahannock, the James river, and Roanoke, to resemble Jordan in the important particular of being "a hard road to travel."

From Old Point. --Mr. Decormis, formerly a resident of this place, but latterly of Baltimore, came down as far as Fort Monroe in the steamer Georgianna on Sunday morning, where he was detained a prisoner for twenty-four hours. He states that the authorities at Old Point took the mails destined for that post and sent what was due here back to Baltimore. Wm. Hopkins, Esq., former deputy collector at this port, was also on board the Georgianna, as escort to two young ladies who had been North, and were anxious to return to their parents in this city; and some words passing between him and Purser Bradford, of the Navy, who came on board at Old Point, the latter was summarily knocked down by the former. --Norfolk Herald,

Torney, a regular trading packet between Belfast (I reland,) and Norfolk, and the Swedish brig Tyrus, Capt Hallgreen, also from the north of Ireland, came into Hampton Roads Tuesday morning, bound to this port. Upon nearing Fort Monroe they were brought to in the usual way, and required to come to anchor under the guns of the blockading squadron. After an interview with the officer in command, the masters of these vessels were permitted to dispatch a messenger to the city, under permit from Commodore Stringham, of the Minnesota, to report to their consignee, Richard Dickson, Esq., the fact of their arrival and detention.--Norfolk Herald.
