From the plan of studies proposed, a fine in stitution may be anticipated, in which the fair daughters of our State may receive a substan tial and finished education. Success to all ef forts in a cause so worthy and noble! 97 We return our thanks to S. for his neat little volume of poems. The collection is styled Porms.comprising Tales, Fugrtirc Pieces. and Translations from some of the classical and Modern Poets, printed at Charleston. with re ntsukable neatness. in duaderiono. The writet has decided poetic talent, and has well chosen his subjects for the cultivation of his muse. There is no discipline for the Poet like a close and critical study of the ancient masters of his art. The wt iter has gone to these masters, and we think his efforts are well repaid. Let him persevere. and his classic muse may some day soar aloft " with no midd:e flight." Editorial Correspondence. COLUM BIA, Dec. 6tt, 1849. On Monday last the Legislature adjourned to be present at the college commencement. A great crowd was in attendance-many more than could enter the chapel. It is greatly to be desired, tli"t the Legislature should make an appropriation to enlarge the Chapel ot to build a new one. The numbers who are attracted to the commeicement to witness the exercises of their young friends, nad to give encourage. ment to the institmtion, should certainly be il lowed the privilege of attending. This is due to the success of the college anl the honor of the Stale-in both of which we should all take pride. We trust the Legislature will not nd. jonrn before making the appropriation. We believe it will meet the approbation of otr peo ple, who are too well aware of the great im portance of the college to the welfare and honor of our State, not to wish to bestow upon it every reasonable enconragetent. There were sixteen speeches from the grad atinig class. The salautatory, or first honor ad dresses were delivered by C. II. Simontini of Charleston, atid the scaledictory, or secotnd honor addhresses biy T.J. Glover of Orangebturg. We deem it tinnecestary to make distinictions where all ac<prtittedt thtemselves wvith so much credit. rThe venteral President conferred degrees on 0.1 yonnrg gentlemneni-thte largest class ever known to have heent graiduated at the college. The p-trtinig words of President P'restoni were few, owing to his feele healthl and the prolong ed exercises of the day ; bitt they wvee tuanhy in sentiment, andl fitll of ptairiotic thought. lie bade the young metn go forth into the world with bold hearts, to " do thec rig/t-and to tell the truta !" and ever to keep before their minds the noble senitimeitt of Decatur. "our counatr/j always righat-but our countlry ra"ght or wrong." Alay long anid usefil days await this honor ad Guardiani of Carolina's youth ! Under his wis anid prtndtent adtainiistration, the college h;as grown into a state oh t rroperiry uneq.ialled at atny formaer period of its existence. Gen. J. II.

The address was chiarac'erizedh by great ability and elegance It was as remartkable for its comprehensive pihilosop,hical views, as for its terse, classic dic tion. It wars, mtdeed, rneh itt classic lore drawing its ahiusionas and illn<tratiotns frott tIhe rich treasures of the anciets. anid fromt the ex tensive ittites of' moderrn science arid literatu re.
