On Sunday morning the Baccalauratd Sermon was preached by the Rev. John F. "NVightman, of Charleston, from 2 Cor- 5. 17. ' Thcrcforn if! any man be in Christ, be is a now ] creature; old things arc.passed away; behold all things aro became now." , We have beard the eloquent speaker on other occasions, andean well appreciate tho compliments which we ( have heard passed upon this adinira- j ble'sermon?tho polish of style?the graco of' manner?and tho oratoricnl j ftow of thought?tho allluence of im- . agery in the graphic description in ] which ho contrasted the respective | conditions ?f tho regenerate and nn- ( genordle. candlclighting ho also delivered another excellent discourse, ) upon Wisdom,/Jwhoso ways are ways of pl^santaeaf^rind all tier paths aro , peace." .. . < The Literary Examinations- were < supplemented by an lamination of < the Theological students' by Drs. 1 Gieer, Boyce, and Pr^ly, on Tues- 1 d?y morning. 1 .

AVo shall not attempt a synopsis of this address, in which ho descanted upon the origin of mutter? the progress of society?the di's solution of all things?the thousand elements which make up this'complex hi ing, and the thousand agencies which coi'trol tbem?influences spiritual and unseen, hut not less potent and effective. The stylo of tho address was polished and easy, and some of the imagery very beautiful. Then followed the Baccalaunatc Addross by President tirier, in the earnest (lowing style, for which he is noted, expressing clear thought in ap propriale words, anrl enforcing the lessons of wisdom with the experience of the sage, and the afl'eclion of the parent. At candle-lighting, the Alumnat Essay of Miss Carrie A nil of Newberry, was read by Col. Fair, of Abbeville. The Essay was a plea for the higli culture of woman, in all that elevates and ennobles the sex, and an earnest protest against those unwomanly tendencies of modern thought which threaten to unsex her. It was as well timed in thought and just in sentiment as beautiful in style.* Then followed the Alumni Address by our young friend R. J{. Hemphill, Esq., upon '-The Duty of Educated men in the present Crisis." Tho Ad Jress was elaborately prepared anil was well delivered. It exhibited the fruits of much observation and reflection, and gavo evidence throughout of a well-trained mind, and cultivated taste?many instructive parallels were drawn between tho present and tho past, and the pressing duties of the hour were unforced with becoming zeal and earnest eloquence. Thursday was Commencement Day in the Female College, and with the anper-added attractions of female loveliness upon tho stago of action, brought large additions to tho audicncc.

After Prayer by the Rev. Dr. Boyce, the Anniversary Address before the Amelian Literary Socioty was delivered by Col. "NVm. II. Campbell, of 3reenville. The Address was an jlaborato discourse upon "the Philosjphy of History," finding its true soution in the Bible. It wasn scbolary production, equally worthy of the ncad and heart of the orator?abound I ! ing in striking thought, and graceful well turned periods?delivered with ; clear articulation and pleauanl intonations. ? Then followed I lie compositions cf the young ladies, read respectively l>v ! Messrs.
