Mm. Edit?* : During ? short visit. to jour j
pleasant town on Wednesday," the 1st ins taut, I
had the pleasure of attending the exhibition of &
the Senior Class at Wofford College. At an
early hour the spacious chapel was pretty well ^
filled, whioh proves that our people are not so n
lost to war and mercenary motives ns to entire- r
ly forgot their educational interests. Fifteen H
speakers were anhonnoed on the programme. 0
but ouly eleven declaimed, four having gone to g
the service of their country. Enlivened by the |
eharms of inusio and greeted by tho bright
oyos and rosy cheeks of lovely woman, the class e
made its appearanoc on the rostrum, and a more 1'
.. j - ?
uauukvuto ii?u vo nave nui swn ior minjf n
day. (1
After a warm pray or by thai eloquent divine, ?
Rot. Wightforrd Smith, and tho band perforin- ii
tag a grand tnareli. Ilia President introduced
Mr. Brazier, of Georgia, on "The Pest, tlic 1
Present and the Future of Constitutional Liberty
in North Amorioa." The.speaker began ^
by referring to that well known line of Bishop ?
Berkley?"Westward the star of empire takes 'I
it i way." TJo spoke of our past history, the c
mi udence of our forefathers, how they avoided 1
mo ovils of usurpation, the imperfections of ?
' ore nmeut, of the principles of the old Constitution,
the causes that led to our present u
disturbances, and closed on the future of our a
Southern Confederacy. His speech was a hapl
7 effort, wol worthy the groat I heme to which 11
it was do voted, delivered with manly and grace- ^
ful oratory. It produced a fine effect on the ^
intelligent aud attentive audience. ,j
Next followed Mr. McCauta, of Columbia, on
"The Magnet." Mr. Hardy, of Anderson )
District, on "Great results front small begin- "
{tings in Science." And Mr. Johnston, of ^
Beaufort Distriot, on "The days of the Maiden
Queen." All three of whom acquitted them- t
solves much to tho satisfaction of the audience. 4
"Southern Civilization." by Mr. Lipscy, of ^
Chester Distriot, was handled in an eloquent }
and able tuanncr. The spcuker showed that j
iu all civilizations, tho rising otto would always t
succeed. That in tho difference between North 1
aud South, Southern civilisation would finally )'
triumph. And with a happy conclusion, took ^
his soat amidst great applause, greeted by e
handfuls of flowers. 1
Next came Mr. Connor, of Orangeburg Dis- '
tricl, ou "The Modern Man of Progress:" His J
humor produced much applause and laughter, f
He spoke of the folliosof hisyoung hero, whose
respect for himself was greater than that all 1
the world had for liim, whose .dons of pomp c
soled boots and a slick cloth coat were above *
til, creations of art and science, but whoso pro- t
dnclions, alas, would Anally become proper
materials for the paper mill. i
"The Charms of Music," by Mr. Bound, of Cokcsbury,
was a rich treat and worthy ot
much merit. His delivery proved liim to lie i
quite an agree tide speaker, while his refined t
aiyle showed a highly cultivated taste. It re- H
ceivcd applause and commend it ioii l'rom all. 1 ?
"Departo 1 Hours," by Mr. Summers, nt <
Orangeburg District, and "My Country," by i
Mr. Watson, of Cokeshury, tour.ted mu<:h t
praise. The former calm an I deliberate in his '
delivery and concise in h a style, spoke ? ! tbc ,
happy days ot youth, the plcu-urcs we enjoy in
coiitenipl.iting a well spout life, and the griel (
we experience in consequence <?t a misspent ,
life. The latter, njore excited au-l animated, ^
became too loud for the hall, byt what we ^
gained of bis speech was well written. j
"Waterloo." by Mr. Williams, of I'.illetoti
Distiiel, i\.i-? treated in a llowiug style?dcscripiive
mid figurative, it pleased and charmed
.tin: inldteil.O. \
While Mr. Vancy, or Cbappsll Hill. N. C .
showed the amount of "Coiton" produced by ?
our >oiit hern Slates; that no other country on 1
the globe wa.- so w.'j.J adapted to its cultivation; 1
tluit it is king and sits upou its throne of commerce,
