"We acknowledge, with great appreciation of the honor, the reception of a special invitation to attend at Erhkinc College on "Wednesday evening, tho 4th of July onsu ing, nt which time the annual exhibition by the Junior Class is to bo. Wo have hail a glance at the programme in advance ; and in its execution, together with a grand display of pyrotechnics, wo undertake to insure a rich treat to all who will attend. And lot no one bo backward ; the invitation is public, and there are tlo inhospitable mansions about Dug West. If we are not there on the occasion, it will bo because circumstances will not submit to our control. Hodges Institute We take pleasure in asking a general reference to the advertisement of this institution of learning. It is not our fortune vet to have much of an acquaintance with Greenwood, its schools, aud its people; and hence we are not propared to speak, from personal knowledge, of the condition and prospects of the Hodges Institute and other Schools of that village. But from the. character which Mr. McKella.r bears as an able Teacher, we are prepared heartily to wish for him and his patrons all the success tho\* can desire. We hare always a good wish, a good word, and a hearty God-speed:- for ail meritorious Schools, and such we have no doubt are those of Greenwood. The Abbeville Female Academy. This flourishing 'school is moving on in jts ninftt. fnrr.f .ni- wA^p.-urorisnnd TriemTs and creditablelo the able and accomplished .corps of instructors having it in charge. On Friday, the 2?d instant, we spent a few hours, :it tho inwitatiditeQ^tfa^.'Principal, in witnessing an its pupils, and were highly the .evidences of honorable advancement exhibited. Tho various classes were . oondueted through a series of questions propounded by -the teachers and spectators, in reference to their respective studies, to most of which answers were promptly and correctly given. Whilst we were much pleased with the exhibitions of youthful skill in tlio beautiful arts of drawing and painting, it was a source of higher satisfaction to us to see the flattering evidences of rapid progress in those more important branches of practical science?Geography, Grnmmar, Arithmetic, F.nrrlieU * wuiu|)un;tiuiij vyiicniibiry, anil so forth. A public examination, we understand, is sttmrKToccur, and wedefef a more extended notice of the Academy and its conductors until after that event. Ookesbury Conference Institute. y It was made our duty, (and we found it j a pleasant one,) to attend the Anniversary exercises in this institution last week. Ojring to a detention of the morning train on Wednesday, which was caused by w damage to a portion of the Abbeville . branch, then and now under repairs, by the ' vgry heavy rains of the previous evening, the examination had well nigh closed when ? . t we reached the beautiful village of Cokesbu^(1^. "ry at three o'clock in the evening; only twgjcjasses remaining to be examined after our arrival, which was done in their Greek and Algebraic studies. But we were, howjfift ever, wholly satisfied, by tlie examination of W thwe'.two, that tlie Teachers and Students f had eacji Ifeen awake and active to their ^ reppi^ti?? dories. w it was thorough and ira%. j^/ pariia^on ,the ,j^t' of the examiners, and well atiH'hono^?iy-fiU^ainjpd on the part of jrR.' the young, exairlin&l: In short, p.ll present were entirely satisfied, long before t this part of the exercises won elosed, that f.'dr*-* > . - * - ' ' ' aut?jflaa neen understood and regnriled,' < * ?M Wiwe-anxious for the?conoing of the next parti whjch was 'the Exhibition of , the Senior eJa^ vv * , Ojipie prt)gtamm<& of the otening appear i ed the names of uina who were to speak, Ute th^ evxiiiiig j i . - -. %L'-fei' - w *$?

They all, 1 without exception, in our judgment, acquit- : Led themselves in a manner at once gratify- : mg to their friends, honorable to them- i selves, to their preceptors, and to the Insti tution. This is our deliberate opinion ; and 1 we heard no expression, in tbat? large audi- < r;nco, of one opposed to ours. The cxerei- ! ses of the evening, we 6bould remark, were < opened with a powerful prayer, by Rev. Mr. Talley, and rendered more agreeable by tho grateful music from a baud of amateur I musicians who volunteered good services for tho occasion. On the following morning, (Thursday,) Rev. A. II. Lesteii delivered an address before the Erosophio Literary Society. We : had indulged and expressed sanguine autici- : pations of a highly creditable performance by our young and esteemed friend, and wo were in no degree disappointed. Tbo address occupied near au hour, and tbo close attention which the speaker received all the while from every member of that crowded auditory, is its best eulogiutn. We had gathered up a few of its most prominent ideas with a view to an abstract; but learning that the Society have resolved upon its publication, wo refrain from our purpose. \\ ? liono it. innv cnnn Iia iccnoil nn<l will assure the public in ndvanco that it will be found to,contain as much good, sound, practical 6cnso, (and not by any means wholly unadorned,) as could ea>ily be measured out in one hour's reading, even by much older and more prominent orators than A. II. Lester. This, Avith the benediction by Rev. Mr. Leaud, (who, we should have remarked, opened the morning exercises with an appropriate and fervid prayer,) closed the interesting exercises.

'learning tliat tlie School, in its financial condition, as well as otherwise, is entirely sound, healthy and prosperous. Inilecd wo could hardly imagine how it could be otherwise, considering the unwearying care with which that body watch over it, and tho character of th6 Teachers under whore immediate j care tho Institution is. Wo regard Mr, I Round, tho excellent Rector, as a man most eminently qualified in all respects for the part lie fills; and he has able and efficient assistants. Long may the Cokesbury School live and flourish, for it is a credit to the District, an honor tp the Church, and a gcs! ^- Cokosbury Masonic Female Institute. The exercises in connection with the annual examination in the Masonic Female Institute at Cokesbury closed on Wednesday last with an admirable speech from our gallant and able representative Don. P. S. Buooiis.5 ' The very short time to elapse before the hcfui of publication will necessarily render our present report hasty and inadequate; but amends for such inadequacy, we are glad to know, already exist in a great degree by the proceedings having been attended throughout by hundreds more competent to judge of their character than we _i - - i - | ciann 10 uc. I* It has rarely, if ever, been our fortune to j atjend upon an examination in any institution which afforded such uniform evidence of surpassing ability in teachers and diligent application in students ?is this one presented. To say that the several classes sustained a most thorough and impartial examination with the highest credit, is to say no more than the simple truth, and to convey but a faint idea of tlio impression made on the minds of the examining board and of the audience generally. On Tuesday evening some dozen of the young ladies read, before a very large assembly, as many fine specimens of original composition. And we must say, in all candor, that no exhibition of Bimilar productions was ever mado in our presence, at any Institution of learnincr. mate or f?mn!#? fhnf evinced a higher order of excellence in this important branch than did those read on that occasion. There was a display of varied talent?poetical, romantic, witty, humorous, satirical, and practic^l-r^rhioh we confess was-far ahead of any anticipations we had sent out, even after witnessing the proficiency of the pupils in other exercises. We might not easily find (certainly coold not produce) anything better "to grace acolumh or two of the Press than d review of several pieces read; but as every one of tberh/deserve "honorable mention," for kts.'i- sis % which we nave neitner umo or space now, { forbear invidious distinctions, ^(^jyednesday morning at 11 o'clock, ' after tw$ exceedingly interesting classes had 1 concluded jbe, c;cartKnation, Col. Brooks, ! as before. mtiHiated, proceeded to crown fhe j whole bf .tyi dcl??eiy<>f an Address, wbicb, i "or elegance of diction, originality and vigor 4 >f -thought, fcrf and 'or patriotism, t We believe U wss irirmi i Bany of bis friend 8 asweil t ffidoki (if &ifv) prsstot K m < * , iiafv . i'-. t- rJ ./ Hjough of a literary character and on a iterary occasion, the address contained nn idtnirable and incontrovertible argument ' igainst the Know Nothing heresy, which j a-as received with.sucli a round of applause j1 is plainly to indicate that that audience j iad no faith in this now system of politi-1 al religion, at whose altar Gardner and i Hale and Trumbull and Wilson and others of their stripe oflkiate as high priests. But a report of Col. Brooks' address is not designed hero. We presume the Trustees will solicit its publication entire, anil we protniso our readers the pleasure of its perusal as soon as a copy can be obtained. The Colcesbury Masonic Female Inslituto, though but an infant in ago, is already a vigorous child in the rising family of female seminaries, and it wants but a few yoars more under the skillful guardianship of sueh teachers as Mr. Wannamaker and Miss Thompson, and the watchful care of the Mystic Brotherhood, to developo it into a charming, beautiful and useful womanhood amongst its sisters of tho country. Too much praise cannot easily be passed upefn Mr. Wannamaker as a teacher of females. We must admit that we have nev?r yet seen his equal iu that sphere. AVe conclude this meagre report with a remark more pertinent to Cokesbury itself than to , the"subject above. After having spent nearly a week in her most agreeable aud hospitable Bocietv, wo are prepared ?o reiterate and heartily endorse the sentiment of Col. Brooks,which was called forth by] tlie tender of a unanimous vote of thanks fiom the audience at the close of his address, and is ns follows: ''The natural productions of Cokesbury?Beautiful women and warmhearted men." -o # Why Don't They ? To every lawyer in the State generally, and of Abbeville particularly, we commend the subjoined paragraph. It shows the folly of not advertising, and we suppose the wisdom of advertising follows as a natural sequence. And to all other professions and trades who look to the public for support, hundreds of arguments equally convincing might be addressed. Read, repent, believe, and practice : "Why Don't Lawyers Advertise.? We ask the members of the bar why their business cards are not found in our journals ? Apropos to the question?we saw a paragraph in a Virginia paper the other day to lb is effect: A rrentleman wont to a printing office to examine an exchange paper, coming from a place some fifty or one hundred miles distant, with tho view to diswnom he wished fo confide the transaction of some business matters of pressing importance. After running his eyea uarefuliy over the paper, he laid it as:do"and remarked?'Well, I can't find the name of a eir? gle Attorney in the paper; and any mehi; b?;r of the profession at the place allude^l to, could have obtained a fee of fifty "dollars from me by having a card in that paper, and I would have paid the amount rather than take the trip at this particular time.'" -a n/r,t>?n~~ '? Mvubiiig \JX LUO X/UULUI3* The following announcement appeared in tho Banner last week, with a request for all papers friendly to the cause to copy. If such an association is likely to result in any good to the cause of afflicted humanity, (of which the doctors, of course, are the best judges,) the paragraph is ccrt&inly more than welcome to a place la <cu*5 oolumns: "Meeting of the Medical Association of South Carolina.?The Association, at. their Annual Meeting in Charleston in February, resolvwl to havd a called meeting of their body in Greenwood, on the third Wednesday in July, which will be the 18th of tho month.

The Atlanta (Oa.) Examiner chronicles Llio following cu9c of lottery luck. We do not wonder at the corresponding "flow of soul such a streak of luck would set any poor man to whistling, if not to dancing. We profess ourselves to bo rather unexcitable, and would like, just as a kind of test, to have a similar galvanic battery applied to our usually dormant vocal powers about oneo a year. However, if all the patrons of the Press will but "shell out" as duty requires, there will be no temptation for us to buy lottery tickets : "An honest workiojr citizen of Atlanta, not far from our olfioc, drew a prize of S'2,000, at tho late drawing of the Fort Gaines Academy Loiter)', managed by Swan, in this city. The day alter the drawing, he could be heard whistling for a mile." Lament of a Kno\tr Nothing. The following is the concluding paragraph in a letter from a repentant Know Nothing. Truly ho hath been badly diseased, and doviseth a desperate remedy : "And now what is to become of mc / I who have rnn through all parties beginpint* with old Federalism as long ago as 1810!

First of all I mean to go to bed and lie in a bed a whole day. Then I'll have my head shaved as smooth as an ivory ball, and after this I'll be siek, alarmingly siek, for a period of ninety days. I'll have the small-pox, the measles, the whooping cough, and a smart touch of neuralgia, and if all those don't render me proof against the contagion of Know Nothingism a second time, I'll ask admission to some house of reformation for chronic offenders.
