The next session of White Water College commences on tho 1st of September. A faculty of able aud experienced teachers has been obtained, and the prospects for a full attendance w«re nev^r better.—jY. A. Tribune.

.A MY RECRUITING SERVICE! ANTED, lor the 10th U. S. Infantry, (ill FT, OI UN.) able-bodied unmarried MEN, between the ages of 18 and 35 years, not less than 5 feet inches high, and of good character. A minor will not be enlisted without the written consent of his parent or guardian.

The term of service is FIVE YEARS and if a soldier re-enlists at the expiration of that time, his pay will be increased Two Dollars per month for the first, re-enlistment, and he will receive a further addition of One Dollar per month for each subsequent re-enlistment.

By jood conduct and attention to duty, a soldier will certainly rise to the position of non-commissioned officer, and from this class the law provides that meritorious men may be selected, as the wants of the service may require it, for promotion to the rank of commissioned officers of the Army. The following is the rate of pay now established:
