As usual wo had' the pleasure of attending, and 'can bear willing testimony to the success of the performances, and the unabated iuterest and gratification with which they were witnessed by the large crowd in attendance. The attendance, we suppose, was fully as large as usual, and the performances fully up to the usual standard. To say this?is to award no common compliment, either to tho interest of the" occasion, or the success of these flourishing institutions. To swell the crowd, and to pro vi(Jc for its accommodation when present, moro than ordinary preparations had been made. The Greenville & Columbia Railroad with its accustomed liberality had granted return tickets for one fare to all visitors, and as a consequence brought a bright array from this and the adjoining Districts; these were conveyed in hacks to the village of Due West, where the ho-J tels of Messrs. Hawthorn," Mays' fii^d J*ratt were filled to overflowing. In addition, private vehicle* brought many from far and near, an$ private hospitality was tat\cd to its utmost capacity. But as usual, Due West was equal to all demands made upon her, ancL entertained most liberally. We havo attempted bcforo to account in a measure, for tbo unabated interest with which these Commencements'arc hailed, in tho union of the two celebrations, Male and Female, a? the 6ame time, with tho ordeal of pub liQ examinations before the samo committee, and public exercises witnossed by the same expectant throng of relatives and friends. "Whatever differonce of opinion there may be as to the propriety of uniting the 6exes in. the same school or colloge, we think there can be none as to the increased emulation which is excited by public contests in the presence of each other. As too the audience is larger and jnore variod, a greater interest is p,wakened both in perform'ors and spectators, and the efforts raado arc oommensnrate with the anticipations formed. Whatever be the reason, j the Commencements at Due West *waken an interest and are rowarded with asoccess, which are equalled by few institutions of the land. . In the death of President Grier, the aloqnent divine and able administrative officer, Erskine Colloge has suffered the the loss of one whom it could ill spare, but wo have no doubt that the Church can furnish a successor worthy to bear his mautle and to sustain the character and prosViot?

It is well represented now by each able and saccossful instructors as Professors Pressly, Young, Eood and J^owry, with Captain Cochran of tho Preparatory Department. In the Female College, President Bonner,"with his accustomed energy and toot, assisted by a corps of accomplished teachers, well sustains its past reputation. An admirable disciplinarian, ho tempers the severity of the law with the kindness and aftectron of the parent, and secures as well the love aud respect of his pupils. He finds earnest co-laborers in Prof. Kennedy, and Misses McQuerns. Jforee, Nixon and Galloway, and under their successful management the College is each yearpreseutiug 8?w claims to tne public patronage, which it has already so largely enjoyed. The Examinations in the two Colleges commenced on Friday, the 7th inst., and closed on the following Tuesday. They were cach conducted in the presence of a joint Committee, and in the presence of the other College. We A 1- ? I i . - iL.i ^jwero uoi presenr, dijc learn, mat they were entirely satisfactory, and highly creditable to all* concerned. Tuesday evening, at candloJigU&Ogt wituessed the op'ening .C0?he Commencement of Erskine College, and some eiglit members of the graduating class discoursed on themes appropriate to the occasion. Where all acquitted themselves well it, is per * - - 1 _ ? haps inviiiuous to particularize, out we caijnot refrain mention of the opening and closing speeches by Messrs. Blake and Miller respectively, or a word of commenidatiou both a9 to the matter and manner of the humorous effort of Mr. Hunter. The following was the programme of exercises: The Setting Star Shall Rise Again?J. R. Blake, Greenwood, S. C. Fancy's and Mystery's Dream of Heayen?G. C. Bradley, Abbeville, |S. c. The Homo of the Waters?J. Caldwell Gallowav, Due "West, S. C. Curiosities of Customs and Fashions ?J. S. A. Hunter, Chaqjotte, N. C. Consistency of Character aud Purpose IS. B. Jones, Allenton, Ala. j* Life is what wc make it?T. D. LatlI mer, York, S. C. j "A Spirit Dwells within each Flower" Robert Mayes, Butler, Texas. Utility of Beauty?R. Grier Miller, Elk Shoal, N. C. On Wednesday morning at an early hour, Lindsay Hall was filled with a brilliant audiet ce, assembled I to hear the Anniversary Address Derore ine socieucs, aim iuu fusing efforts of the graduating class. After prayer by the Kev. W. B. Pressly, of North Carolina, Prof. Hood introduced the Orator of the Da\', Col. J. S. Cothran, of Abbeville^ and then successively, the j outhful speakers. Col. Cothran, is well known to our readers as a ready and effective speaker, with a rich vein of humor and eloquence, finding utterance in an easy and graceful delivery. A line preseuce, melodions voice, and earnest manner, gave effect to the pointed thought and polished, sentences and commanded the attention and interest of the audience. A beautiful illustration drawn from the school of Plato, and exLibiting as well the modesty and zeal of the true disciple, furnished a fitting prelude to the theme of the !address, "The Immediate Future," in which the orator enforced the ihich duties, and urged the cultiva Ition of thoso manly ^attributes which were demanded of us as men and citizens. We shall not attempt a synopsis. The great lesson which it taught was, that success is not the sole test of merit, nor the best nurse of tbe noblest [virtues. Heroism, fortitude, and above all patience, are characteristics of ihe highest typc*of character, and these aro best learned in the school of adversity?and no where shining brighter than in him who surrendered his sword with the "lost cause" at Appomattox. Tbe address closed with a stirring appeal to the student to cultivate habits of self-reliance. tii? 1 ~c a. J.UO KpOUUllUO Ul LUU II(CU were fully up to the usual standard, sod we were especially pleased with the efforts of Messrs. liiley and White. The following was the order of exercises: Prayer. Three Years in College?J. Spencer Mills, Blackstoek, S. C. A Plea for Woman?S. H. Moor, Fort's Alabama. The Materiallstlo Tendency of the Age?W. L. Patterson, Louisville, Ga. Dreams?A. L.

Noxt followed tho Baccalaureate Address by Prof. J. P. Presslv, acting President of the Collogo, and tho delivery of the diplomas to tho graduating class. The address was characterized by the clear thought and mature wisdom which distinguish ali tho productions of the reverend speaker ?enforcing the great truth, that life has its appropriate duties and set work, and that for their accomplishment, habits of mental and mo-al dis ciphoe must be sedulously cultivated and earnestly maintained. At candlc-lighting, a largo audionco again assembled iu Lindsay IIall to hear tho Alumn? Essay and tho Alamni Address. The Alumoao Essay, by Miss L$is Grier, teas read by Professor Ilood, and was a gracoful plea in behalf of the higher culture of tho sex?that mental and moral discipliuo, and that fflstbetio training ,which[arcto!rcarup well educated mothers to preside over happy and attractive homes. The Alamni address by Col. Jas. M. Baxter, of Newberr}', was an ! earnest efi'ort, illustrating and enforcing as its leading idea, the necessity of submitting to legal authority, and making the best out of the situation. This was iio time, he said, for idle repining, but for earnest effort, and it was the duty of every good citizen to do something in the work of restoring our wasted homer, and redeeming the good old commonwealth from the i hands of the spoiler. We shall 1 not attempt to foUow the speaker i in his many practical suggestions I and sage reflections upoii the du- < ties which the crisis demanded of 1 us. Suffice it to say, that they < were the matured fruits of much- < thought and wide experience, and .1?/} Kunnr hnfh tf> tli<> }ip;h1 nnd : ! heart of the speaker. 1 Thursday was Commencement Day ! of the Female College, and Lindsay ; Hall never presented a larger con- < ! course or brighter array. Every jseat was filled, every standing : iplace was occupied, and from floor) jand gallery and stage, amid the I fluttering of fans, the rustling of ribbons, and the scintillation ofj jmany bright eyes, the smiles of expectant interest and a common sympathy, pervaded the large audience. i After tho opening anthem, and a prayer by the .Rev. Mr. Rice, the Ani- 1 jverf>ary,Orator, Prof. Jpmes II. Carlisle, of Wofford College, was introjduced to tho audience by President 'Bonm-r. We had heard the Profesjsor repeatedly on former occasions, |anil came to tho feast with a sharpened appetito. Wo wore not disappointjod. Tho spoakor exhibited all the jcharacteristics for which ho is noted j? profound thought finding expression ; in tho simplest and most appropriate I language?original views bringing i jto light somo new truth, or present- 1 :i"g an old truth ir? a new light .

Then followed the closing address of President Bonner, and the delivery of diplomas to tbe graduating class. These addresses of the President, we have always thought, i peculiarly appropriate; evoking by , turns those memories of the past which are alike pleasant and mourn- ; ful, and presenting with earnest I feeling the duties and trials of i the iuture; to meet which they furnish the sage counsels, and last admonitions of a revcr ed and be- 1 loved instructor. ' One of the most attractive fca- ( 4.1.~ n * iiuics ui ujc vuuimeiicemeui cxur! cises, was the music vocal and in J struraental, which was contributed by the teachers Misses Morse, Nix- , ou and Galloway, assisted by a f Dumber of their pupils. , As we have said, the hotels off, 'Messrs. Hawthorn, Mays and Pratt, |( were filled to overflowing, and pri- t VT-?r'Ti r ? i ? . Jjiiil rate hospitality was taxed to the jtmost. In nothing did this last iiauifest itself more fully than in the aounteous tables spread in the College Campus, during the recess, to-which invitations were freely extended, and the stranger guest 2'ordiully welcomed. As heretofore, handsome equipages, furnished a characteristic feature of the occasion, and gay ladies and gallant gentlemen chatted pleasantly as they dashed over the dusty streets. In short the Commencement was a success and well sustained, the reputation of the colleges, <? ??? Meeting of the Alumni Association of Erskine College. The Annual meeting of the Alumni Association of Erskine College, was held in the Philoinathean Ilall, on the morning of Thursday, the 13th inst. In the absence of the President, Rev. li. A. Fair, the meeting was called to order by Prof. Win. Ilood, one of the Vice-Presidents, and the minutes of the last meeting were read and approved. On motion of W. A. Lee, it was Resolved, That the order of the last meeting, suspending action ivifh rrfrnrrl to utho erection of a monument in the College Campus to the memory of the deceased Alumni, who foil during (he late ivar." be continued until the next Annual Meeting, and that the Treasurer be directed to retain the funds in.his hands until that time. .On motion of Mr. R. F. Mc-CasInn, the Association then proceeded to an election for the next An liversary Orator, when 1>. P. Saxjn, Esq., of Flat Rock, -Arkansas, ivaa elected Principal, and Dr. J. C. Maxwell of Abbeville, Alternate. On motion of Rev. II. T. Sloan, :he following oflicers were re-elected for the ensuing year: R. A. Fair, President; J. F. Lee, J. P. Kennedy, W. M. Grier, and Win. flood, Vice-Presidents; W. A Lee, Secretary. On motion of Mr. Slonn, it was Resolved, TJjat the thanks of the Association bo tendered to Col, J. M.B.ixtcr, for his very able and excellent add res?, and that the Secretary communicate to him a copy sf this resolution. . On motion it was resolved that the proceedings c.f this meeting he published in the Abbeville papers. WM. HOOD, Acting President. TV\ A. Lee, Secretary. STakrow Guage Kailroads.? Onr exchanges arefull of arguments to show the superiority of the narrow guage road, and how it is destined to work a revolution in tho future of railroading, by reducing the cost of construction. The broad-gunge, or those above 4 feet 8 1-2 inches, have nearly all proved financial failures, whilst the narrow gunge or those less than 3 feet have been successes.'
