A. G. Stacey, and is edited principally by the foung ladies of the Tnstitution, whose iame it bears. Its articles are judicious, ad reflect great credit on its fair edi tresses. The magazine contains - 48 pa es, beautifully i'rinted, and is furnished it the low price of $1. We are pleiised to know that its circulation is quite~ ex tensive, which shows an appreciation ror so beautiful a paper, and we cordially recommend it as worthy a place in every home, where there are young pea pIe of either sex. Our young friend, Frank P. Beard, of Columbia, is the agent for its circulation, and we hope that he will receive a number of sub The Nomination. The multiplicity of opinions floating on the tide of every day affairs, are all idle speculation. There ara those who pretend to know, and all credit is accor ded them for their wisdom in being able to discern the secret hidden things. Our privilege is to speculate also, but as there are ready made notions, it is preferable to give them, and let the speculative reader, who is inclined to politics, work out his own peculiar scheme. Be it remembered however that a short period only inter venes when the fiat will go forth from the great democra<ic convention, that this or that man is he against whom all the comu bined powers of radicalism shall be ar rayed, and for whom, if there be any showing of hope for the Isouth, the uni ted wings of the democracy will battle. and we believe triumph. This is suffi cient for the present. Current gossip gives Ghief Justice Chase a large propor tion in public favor; Mr. Johnson too is prominently. held up to consideration ; while Hancock and Pendleton are again spoken of decidedly, with chances in fa vor of Hancock. We hope for the best, and that the nomination be not in favor of Mr. Chase. Veto of the Omnibus Bill. The President, in returning to the House of Representatives the bill, en titled "an Act to admit the States of North Carolina. South Carolina, Louisi ana, Georgia, Alabama, and Florida, to representation in Congress," and known ai the omnibus bill, . in short, emphatic terms, objects,a sita-sumesauthority over six States of the. Union which has never neen delegated to Congress, or is even warranted by previous unconstitutional kgislation on the subject of restoration. It iMposes.conditions which are in dero -ation, of equal rights of the States, and is founded upon a theory which is sub versive of the fundamental .principles of the Governuient. In tire case of Ala bauma it violites the* plighted faith of Congress, by forcing upoir that State a ionttitution which was rejected by the people, according to the express tera% pf an Act of Congress requ,iring that j Majority of the registered electors should vote upon the qestion.of its ratification. For this and various other reasans, of which the above is an extract, the bill is returned ror action of Congress.

The Phmnix giveq an astract of the message of General Scott, to be pre sented on next Monday, to the Legislature. He urges an immediate extinguishment of the State debt, and advises rigid economy and equitable taxation to insure payment of interest coming and now due. A thorough system of public schools is recommended and that Congress be ask-ed for help, the State being too poor to pay for them by taxation; that laws be passed encouraging immigration ; that citizens be relieved of all disabililies ; a therough reorganization of the militia, .ncouragement of railroad enterprises, and measures for completing the Blue Ridge Railroad ; a modificatidn of penitentiary, jail, and judicial systems, and hopes the Bureau will be terminated by October. Speaking of recent disturbances, he savs that all c-tizens should be fully protected in person and property, and in free exercise of all rights ; and concludes with the hope that an era of good feeling has been inaugurated, and that the martial valor of South Carolina will be displayed in supporting the flag of the country. Speaking of the Message, the News says: "It appears to be temperate in tone and judicious in purpose, but its practical value will of course, depend on the -degree of attention which is paid by the Legislature- to its discreet recormmen dations." Washington Colege-Commeneement. The Richmond Despatch, speaks of Commencement day.of this institution as one of the most brilliant ever before wit nessed. . Long before the appointed hour the building was filled, and many unable to gain entrance had to go away. Gen. Lee con-lucted the exercises .with the quiet dignity so characteristic of the man. The great event of the day was the address of Gen. Wade Hampton, and on his introduction by Gen. Lee iimense a1plaise was given. The compliment c nveyed in the invitation of those, So cieties to address . them, was gracefully acknowledged to have-been accepted with pleasure, and in codrse of iis eloquent address, Gen. H. happily contrasted -the grateful- scene over which -peace and learring combine to throw their softening and benign ibfluirtee.

"These mpemories," he said, "called up the grand history of Virginia, and brought him to his subject, a 'firm, con -tant, and uncomuprising devotion to duty nece.4sary to achieve true great ness or to secure lasting happiness'" *IHis allusions to past, history, .nnd he -roes departed . were well calculated to arouse emulation in the hearts of the sons of the old Commtongealth whom he addressed. After many appeals. to the young mnpn, he closed as followrs "Should -you evets be disposed for the skce of expeditiey~to sacrifice duty, go to y.onder quiet cemetery,. and as you look upon the grave of Jackson, think of that great saldier, .pure patriot, and humble Christian I "Who taughtus how to live, and. ohl too high.

The speech was interrupted with fre quent outbur-sts of applause, and the utterances of the honored chieftain found an echo in every heart. -WASHINGTos, June 27.-Mayor Wal lack has been held in $8,000 bonds, for knocking his successor down, on a ques ion of-veracity. Mesican advices mndieste that the ministerial crisis is about over. Janacie Mariscol is Minister of Justice. The president told Grant, unless -he movedl promptly in the matter affecting the Columubus pr-isoners, the President would act himself. Several Georgian refugeesare- here. . Grant has telegraphed McDowell to turn over -Arkansas to the c.ivil autho rities, as-soon as it is safe to do so. Secretary McCulloch. has issued a circular, warning the people that taxes and all dues arising under the revenue laws, whether from fees or penalties, can only be-receipted 'or by bonded officers, or, in certain cases, by Clerks of Courts. All direct or implied authority to special agents to collect is revoked. JACKsoN, Miss., June 26.-Jackson is ab!aze with enthusiasm ; such an accord was probably never known in this State.

PRAYER MEETING.-We learn that prayer meetings are held in the Baptist Church every afternoon, about five o'clock. These meetings are open for all, and it is earnestly hoped that they will not be allowed to die for want of attendance. There never was a period in which a greater necessity for prayer existed, and we believe that per, sistent, united and fervent invocations to the throne of grace will eventuate in great good. Attend the prayer meetings. WREN & WHEELER.-hose Irrepressible photographers,ever on the alert for improve% ments in their beautiful art, can now take pictures in their natural colors. As they have .aited their stay in Newberry, the present opportunity is a good one to avail yourself of their skill. Pr. R. S. Whaley Rgain invites the atten tion of parents and guardians to his card concerning children's teeth. The Doctor speaks to the point. See to it then, that the children's teeth "suffer no detriment." Good teeth insure good health and pre serve beauty. No RAIN Yrr.-The heavens are as brass and the earth as iron. Vegetation perishes and animate life is drooping. o for the early and the latter rain and the gentle dews of heaven, and a "reign of the vegetable kingdom," and grateful hearts to acknowledge the Divine benefi cence. Our young friend and pitcher, Robert Y. Leavell is making ready to receive an exten% sive and elegant stock of furniture at his father's old stand. As there will no doubt be a good deal of work for Hymen this fall, all those interested will bear in mind that chamber, parlor and dining room furniture, both of simple and elaborate design can be procured from Mr. Leavell, at prices but a little above Northern rates. TnE' CoURT or --EQum-Convened Monday last, Chancellor Lesesne presi diqg. The present court is a very in teresting one. Among the 'la.vyers we note several visiting members. Messrs. Addison and Gary of Edgefield, W. D. Simpson of Laurens, Col. F. W. McMas ter of Columbia, and J. G. McKissic of Union. Chancellor Lesesne presides liere for the. first time.

GooDoEoN.-W' refer with pleazsure to the card of these gen tlemen elsewhere, and advise our farmer friends having wool to cardl to send ato them. The location of their Factory 'is well known, and also, that it is supplied with the best'of machmnery and worked by,skiHf1ui and experienced hands. Mr. Knox at the Depot will receive all con signments and forward to destination, to whom also the carded wool gill be re turned immediately. Send in your or ders and bundles at once. CORREcTlo.-The fire which occur red at Mr. Kilgore's on Monday, the 22d, was not the work of an incendiary, nor had there been a previous attempt to fire the premises.. Our informant, like ourself, was led into error, hence the in correct report. The fire was altogether the result of accident, as since learned, and we readily correct the idea which leads to the impression, that our peace ablie and quiet community is troubled with night busners. Most generally it is well to. subject flying reports to a prac tfcal rule oftsubtraction, and if there be a remainder to work upon that as a l>cal item, but in this case we over looked the necessity, and took ths. rer sion given as truth, it having cor- di rect and from first hand. THE SUNDAY ScHooL Pic Nic.-The teachers, parents and scholars of the va rious Sabbath schools of this place who have been invited by Dr. Diver, Super intendant of the Helena Sabbath school, to join in a Pic nic, on Saturday next, are informed that no change in the day will be made. Dr. Diver finding' it im possible to meet the request to have the celebration on Friday. Schools will bear this in mind and act accordingly. The train will leave~ the Depot at seven o'clock, and it is necessary, that all' going will meet there at half-past six, on Saturday' morning. The children of the Methodist- School are informed that since the mnLetin.g on Mo'nday, their Superintendent and teach ers have decided that a simple. rosette of oat row green ribbon will be worn as a badge, instead of a sash as first spoken of. The color adopted by the Uelena School is blue; the Baptist School here -pink ; the Presbyterian-white; the Lutheran School-red, and the MJeth WHo WOtL HAVE BELIETED IT ?-A great moral delinquency has been brought to our attention ; we can scarce ly realize it. That,great demoralization exists we are aware, that there is a marked falling off among our people is established beyond doubt. They . are not as they used to be. Everything and everybody is sadly out of joint, and we thought that the climax had been reach ed, but alas, alas, we fear that the half has not been told, and that there are revealings in store which will astonish and startle the imaginations of men. The publicrty of human trailties is not always beneficial, but are calculated to make the heart callous and engender a love for vice; in this particular case, however, we are forced to pursue a dif ferent course, and bring to light an af fair, the revelation of wgich will stamp it -is a new sin under the sun. There are men living in this community, who pass over important notices, which ap pear from time to time in this paper, as advertisements, with a watin disregard to their own interests, and a disrespect to both advertisers and paper. We cry out aginst it. These men are igno rant of the great truths so often pub lished, one of which is, that there is an sgency at this place for the Equitable Life Assurance Co., and that Messrs. Johnstone & Nance are the get-tlettauly agents for this noble institufion. One of these delinqueint characters totally ignoring the revealed lights, actually addressed a communi-cation to the gene ral agency of the "Equitable," asking if they had an agency here at Newberry.

CONMENCEMENT ExmcisFs..-The grati fication of attending the comenceiaent exercises of the -Newberry Lutheran Coliege was afforded us last- week. The performances of the young gen.tlen'en gave us great pleasure, an-d we are'.sat isfied, as must be their parents, and guardians, that they have been most care fully trained and instructed- in the va rious branches of education' as taught at this College. The' professors ofr this i,titution are g6ntlermen of inteligence. education and nwiable' address, ad it is not surpriag, .-therefore, 'that the - ex aminatifon just closed was of such a -a isfactory ch: raetel! In Latin,itnd#reek. and the higher branches of Mathematics, the students gave eviddnce of close at tention, the result of wI ich was a de cided success. The Essays read, and the orat'ams deC livered were highly credlitable, and were presented to a large and attbntive an dience. with a grace and style as sur prising as pleasn;g. l~os.-t-is shnrinotice, by syl that this Co-ge is iirtu!y-estbished and wiil con:ti:nue its usefoiess in spite of -the many serious and embarra.%wing otstacres in it wa. -It was 'thought by somec, a reporithaving got abroad to that eff'eet, that'th6fnstitution, would bt $urced to .-close, but its president as sures -us to the contrary, and, we rejoice that it.s continuance is a fixed'fact. .The friends of the College should be uniring' in their efforts_to establish .it securely 'and prosperously, and this cotmmunity generally, which would serioudy miss its advantages should it close, ought to give it a generous support anid heaty sympa 'thy. ,To its President,.Rev. J. P.

SenooL Pic Nic.-We bad the pleas ure on Friday last of making one of a numerous company which enjoyed a pie nie or barbecue, gotten up, in the most elegant style, by the parents and neigh bors generally interested in the Rev. J. Hawkins' flourishing school. The school house is located in a beautiful, pictur esque grove, ctoce by a rocky-mouthed' spring1 wrich 'aifords water.deliciousif dool and refreshing, 'and the natural beauties and advantages, combined with .the great worth and abilities of the-prin cipal, Mr. Hawkins, who is beloved by bis pupils and charge generally, .have given the school a character and size, ax: 'ceedingly gratifyipig. 'The dinner spread in bountiful profusion, 'And .served in'a style in keeping with the well kDiown~ generous hospitality -of the people of that region round about, was all that could possibly be desired, and greatly more than could be consumed. Never was mutton crisper or browned and seasoned to such perfection; never before was pig so satisfactorily spitted, or roasted so deliciously, while thie bash was .a work of art, and the fried chickens, bread,. po tatoes, pies, cakes, and other little fix ings, were each and all in perfect accord. It may reasonably be supposed that 1this profusion of good things was en joyed greatly ; some very heavy work was done, and we noticed particularly the execution of two or three gerits whose capacities were frightfully enormous; the vast quantities which vanished from mortal sight were suggestive of famine, and at th~e same time~gave us fi>rebodings as to the consequences which might re'sult to these wonderful *eatists'4 choler.a, or abdominal burstir.g was the least expect ed, and we retired' from, the immediate vicinity, with thoughts sadly sorrow ful. Subsequentinquiries revealed that they were eating under a wager, and had'fast' 'd since tbeir last meal. Result--nip each stopping only when the judges dc, cided that there was no room for another morsel, Snd that further stuffing might end disastrously. ShaUl we ever forges that scene ? Iet us turn to a lighter, brighter pie ture,that of the young maidens; beauti ful, innocent, and sparkling with gayety, and beset with a becoming framework of beaux, attentive to their wants, and hap py in their smiles. As we said, the spot selected was a charming one, full of pe. turesque beauty, and romanticay-$* gestive, and this combinationofn-aWae' j attractions, animate and inanimate, mado the whole a scene of great loveliness, Sporting was a part of the programw only, a portion also being allotted for the delivery of an. address, and at the-prope time Judge Y. J. Pope, the appointed orator, took the stand, and addresse4 the geatandi6ce m a'spe4ch, eloquend agreeable, and miscellaneous in chara,te in which education, religion, woman ad (it would have been no speech without,) a little good democratic politics,. each had an appropr iate place.
