The s-enii-j annual examination of the several classes at! , tnis Institution Ins j-i-t closed, giving entire j satisfaction to the Faculty, "tid Visitors present, j , The first orator of the -evening wes Cadet j ' T. II. Mangutn, of Chesterfield District. Su!?- | J jvet: " Mexico." We have seldom been so : ( fortunate as to listen to a more eloquent and! striking contract between the oa^l and present ' eondition of this unfortunate country, than was | given by Mr. Mangunt. To rstrong and forcible ' j stvie was added a bearing highly graceful and j ( commendable. In this, his maiden speech, he ' j gives promise of high success in future. The next orator was Cadet Henry GailJard, | of Fairfield. Subject: 14Josephine." This; address, from one so youlntul m aj>pcaranee, | needs ?<? comment fmm us. It was delivered i in a style peculiarly graceful and touching, and j elicited warm applause. Cadet R. Iv. lliotnaH, also of Fairfield, was i the next shaker on the stage. His subject j was one that did tint admit of such variety and feeling as some others, hut w6 cantiot refrain from saying, in justice to the young orator's talent*, that it was delivered in a style of clo quence exceedingly praiseworthy in one so young. The " Downfall of the Western Km ?|rtre" was dep:ctt d in glow ing colors that, would m have done honor to mnturcr mTnds than his. . Cadet J. F. Laniieau. of the 'Senior Class, was the next S|>el:er called t'o-tho stage. Ili.s subject, "The Wisdom of Folly." we have seldom heard treated in a more mastcily manner than on the present occasion. .Mr. Lanwau seems to l>e ore of those persons suited t>> almost any theme Vancv muy suggest, aiitl the masteilyjuanner in wliicji^e treated this sub ject confirmed our belief. The fifth speaker was Cadet W. R. Ervvin, of Barnwell District, subject, " Arabia" This '* address was very creditable to the talents of .*' the young orator, ?m?1 woiiIJ bear well the criticism of wiser heads than outs. Mr Erwiu's maimer, though not .so vehement and V. ? forcible as that ol'soine others, is, nrvei tin-less, graceful and winning in a high degree, and deserves well a higher comment than we have given it. T!?e next on the list was Cadet James D. Nance, of Newhefry. His subject,"The b?jau ? 4 U..., " tf-K trculud ill ;? lIC* "| niiruvrtii i ucii ?, ?'?<? ... .. manner highly commendable. For dignity anf| force we consider his address unequalled by anv delivered on the occasion. IIis sentiment* were pure and elegant, aud moreover were full of meaning. T^Jast address of the evening was deliverC. M. Law, of Darlington, before ofthe Cadet Polytecnic Society. A<^^B*nt<>r Mr. Law has few equals of his agtjHyVe remember having heard him once * before, at a supper given to the Georgia ilus kits, during their visit to this-city, and were then strong^ impressed with the eloquent Life of Sheridan," one well suited to hi* genius. It has seldom been our fortune to lUren to ful aspirant on his favorable impression. With this last nddres-; the audience broke op, but we venture to say that it went wiih a higher impression of the eloquence of the youthful orators, than a hutried sketch like this can give, m We learn the Cadets intend encamping at the Magnolia for a few weeks. They probably start out to day or to morrow.* Char. Standard, 2 ith inst.

Ue was deeply moved and extremely ; aie nut! appeared to feel sensibly his awful situation. After lemoving his coat, shoes and neckerchief, he mounted the scaffold deliberate Iv, and tins rope being adjusted, at a given signal the bolt was withdruwrt and the drop fell. Uijfortunately, the rope was insufficient to sustain the weight of the doomed man; it parted and he fell to the ground. We have been informed, froiii good authority, that his neck was dislocated. Instantly the sheriff descended from the scaffold where he had been standing, and with the aid of two police officers and a servant. raised*the condemned man up again, re adjusted the rope, after which the suppriH was (struck away, and he remained suspended from the gallows. At five minutes before two o'clock, his body was cut down and handed v " .. . iv i . _i t. over to ins mentis, an attending puysicuui nay in? first declared that life was extinct. Thus ended the life of this unfortunate man, who giving way to the love of.stfong drink, had, in a moment of excitement, shot down a city mar shal, who, in the discharge of his duty, wa? endeavoring to preserve the peace. We might here add, thut previously to tlu execution, the strength of the rope was le>tec by the Sheriff, and he Considered .it am pi) sufficient 61 hear the weight of the prisoner. A portion of the rope used on the occasion hat since heen submitted to our inspection; it n three quarter inch, and firmly twisted, and w? would have judged it sufficiently strong to sus tain a body of twice the weight attached to it But the result proved unfortunate, and givci great pain to the officer and spectators. "After he came to "the ground he was unabh to stand, and was doubtless it.sensible,to pain although when he was again raised to tire scuf fold he was distinctly heard to articulate "Oh Lord!"' The duties of the sheriff were faithfully ant promptly performed by himself without tlu assistance of hired aid, reflecting credit upoi 'he officer.
