The Cornmencement Opened upon us yes terday, as has been the caime immemorial almgost, dark, glooy and lowering, with in evident propensityina. the weather towards potn.In spite hovr-ever of this state of facts, which has become almost inseparably connected with the oceasion, the exercises -%vere inter esting, and the Chaptel was crowded to its utmost capacity of room, either for sit ting or standing. The valedictory address of President Pres ton was short, but appropriate, eloquent and sfirring, as addresses from him on all ocea -sions are acknowledged to be. A few brief but pregnant allusions were made by him to the eventful crisis, and the lowering storm -whose coming is heralded by the signs of the .political sky. Danger and commotion, and disturbance, were at hand,and a grand drama perhaps was being brought on the stage, whose chief parts were to be borne .by the young men of the present age, and by the young graduates of the S. Carolina College. In view of their entrance on the public sphere -of life at such an epoch, he gave them a brief admonition to be men, true and honorable, high-minded men, and to be Carolinians. Their post of duty, of labor, and of action, was where the Palmetto waved-and that sacred emblem, whether caressed by the gen.. tle whispers of peace, or turn and tattered by the angry god of battle and storms, was to them an oriflamme for life. The lesson thus brief, imparted by one whose abilities dnd experience, and historic reputation, qualify him to speak "as one hav ing authority," saik deep in many hearts, and if we read aright the emotions and resolves portrayed on many a face, that lesson will not be soon forgotten. The honorary degree of L. L. D., was awarded to Rev. John Bachman, D. D., of Charleston,a richly merited tribute. The de gree of A. M. in course, to P. H. Seabrook and V. H.

QUALES, Esq., in the 39th year or his age. The deceased had been a consistent momber of the Baptist Church. for nearly 20 years; and at the time of his deuth was the Clerk of thd Bethany Church. He was punetual In iis at tendanoe upon the public exercises of tho san' tuary; and enjoyed the preached word, and on soie occasions was most deepy aiffeeted under it. The last occasion on which the writer of this brief notice, saw him, was under preaching, anul whilst the preacher was describing the nature and power or faith in Christ, his feelings were in unison wish those of the miniister, and he seemed almost overcome. le was strict in his obser vance of secret devotion, often retiring to bow in secret supplicati'an at the throne of grace. It was his pleasure to witness the conveision of his eldest child, in the 12th year of her age, and to see her firmness in her Christian profession. His last illness was of short, but painful duration, and from the niainer in which he was aIleeted by the diseatse which terminated his existence on earth, he said but little in regard to' his dying or his prospects after death. But the manner of his life gives an assurance unto his finnilv and survi ving friends, of Iris preparation for death, and of his happy entrance into the saints everlasting rest. Ife has left a wife and seven children, and a large circle of friends to miourn his departure. A FuzEx.

Thomas' regiment, encamped at Camp Covington, and in Gen. Bllackshear's regiment at Darien, as well ats many of the Regular soldiers commanded by Col. II. V. Milton and Gen. Jack son in August, 1814, particularly in Capt. Twiggs' Company of Infanry, Capt. lessia's Rifle Com pany, and Capt. Proctor's Company of Cavalry of the '8th Regiment, United States Army, believing, ie repeats, that these circumstances ostensibly point him out as pre-eminently prepare< and quali fied for stch an office, respectfully ol ers himself as an Agent to procure Bowly Lands for the sol diers of these companies and wars. Added to the above advantages, he has 1.r ence, as he was an agent for procuring soldier's bounties for services in the Mexican war, and sue ceeded in every case even after other agents had failed, and where the case was complicated, by the soldier's having served two tours, dying there, and leaving scarcely any proofs of identity or heirship. In addition to these, he has all the laws on the sub ject. the Secretary of the Interior's.' lnifesto, his decision upon the two tours of service, entitlement, horn one is entitled, &c., all the necessary .forsa, copies of oaths, method of ilentifying the original soldier, or, if he is dead, his widow, orphan or other heirs, and all other papers necessary to se cure his success. lie is also in correspondence with the Secretary of the Interior. who is sole ar,. hitcr (or judge) in this matter, and whose istruc tions in all cases will be imaplicitly obeyed in order to insure success. iHe hegs his felloiv soldiers to remember that identification is one of themost important items in the testinitony, and consequently that his being a ble to swear to their identity is an essential favor which they can obtain from no other Agent ; and they will see therefore that 'tis most to their advantage to engage his services. He has had several applica tions to secure bnonties.and some are on their way, or at Washington ere this. and bounties will soon be returned to him.
