MR. COGSWELL WILL REMAIN.
RALEIGH EPISCOPAL SCHOOL. It was through inadvertance that we omitted to state in our last, on authority of the other city papers, that Mr. Cogswell, Rector of the Episcopal School near this city, had declined the Professorship of Ancient Languages in the South-Carolina College at Columbia, his appointment to which we some weeks since announced; and from the same cause, an article from a Columbia paper, stating that Mr. Cogswell had "definitely accepted the chair," found its way into our columns.
We are now authorized and requested to say, that Mr. C. has declined the Professorship in question; having determined to remain at the head of the flourishing Institution over which he now presides with so much credit to himself and usefulness to the community. This School, now in its second session, numbers about ninety pupils.
