Allegheny College.

I learn from Rev. Mr. Walton, the Agent, that this institution continues to receive liberal contributions from our citizens generally. This is as it should be. Allegheny College, though originally projected by a particular denomination and under its special care, (as, indeed, is the case with all literary institutions not belonging to the State or to some order,) is organized on the most catholic foundation, and affords equal facilities to those of all denominations who repair to its halls. Students for the ministry of every church are here educated free of tuition, and the sons of ministers of every persuasion are charged-half price.

The new feature adopted by this institution, by which special and generous arrangements are proposed to be offered to maimed soldiers, and to the sons of those who have died for their country, must meet with universal favor. The condition of our currency now affords to benevolent men an opportunity for charged liberality; and we are sure that none of our citizens will refuse to invest some of their abundant Confederate money in a stock which promises so rich a dividend of usefulness to the country.
