The cireumstances UpoN us are somewhat novel, as I have do- u scribed; but the same qualities which e bore those men safely through. and I enabled them. to rare for the rights t and' boiior i6f the State snd people in ti their day will enable us to do like wise in ours-what were they ? They were brave-I place this quality at a t he head of the list ; because without a it there i. an&on'be no stability of a character. When I speak of courage ' I do not mean that common endow I inent of physical impulse which im- d spires man to protect himself from in-. jury.- Tais ~is almost universal with men and animals. It is as rare for a a man to be born without it as to be t born with one eye or one arm. Such t a creature is an anomaly in creation. n Nor do I mean that equally general f quality of bravery en masse. South r Carolinians may adopt truthfully the r words of little Betsinder in Mr. E Thackeray's story of the rose and the s - ring, spoken with a different intent, S but not inapplieble to them in this a connection "Little lion was my brudder, Great big lioness my mudder, Neber heard of any udder." The gallantry of the people of this State is proverbial. It has been con spicuously exhibited on every demand of the State, from the days of Tus carora, John Barn well, (the greatest of our Indian fighters,) to the sad day of Appomattox; when the bleeding remnant of our war-worn veterans laid down their arms at the command of the great chief. It is not of this I V speak. This is natural to you. It is I a part of your inheritance. Indeed the embarrassment is the other way .Too great a readiness to fight is one of our faults. It is a quality with us to be curbed, not encouraged. But the virtue to which I allude is in a great measure acquired and perfected by cultivation and effort. It is the noble attribute of adhering to a conviction of right, without regard to pgsonal con sequences, through good report and evil report, in spite.of popular clamor and :denunciation : in obedience to the dietates of conseience, and in pur suit of what you believe to be the public good. If final approval vindi cates your course, it is a happy re sult. If it does not before you pass away into the unknown, you have th.e consolation of your own rectitude. 13e assured the vindication will~ comue at some time. Baron Somuini, in his art of war, says, the first requisite of a great commander above all others is a high moral eours e, capable of gre'at resolu.tions. It is equally true of greatness in any sphere of life. It was this that made Washington and his eompeers. They fought with halters aroend their necks; but they braved fate, beeause of the faith that was in. them. They seseeded and the world hails them as model patri ots and heroes. It was this also that made Lee and his comrades. They failed. Justice moves more slowly in case of failurefbnt itis on the advance already, and history will award to them the same verdict. For tunate 'o unfortunate, b.onest self' - arie and devotion to principle commands and receives the applause of anankind. Another quality which disting guished our worthies of the past, -recent and remote, was intelligence. -They were all men of education, and' -fully abreast with the essential know .edge of the age within which they moved. When. called apon to act with or against other men from other quarters they brought equal informa tion i.to the arena. They were ha ble to ne sarprises, and were cou fronted with no superiors. The com bat was on fair ground wtth like< weapons. There is not a marked era in th.e historv of' the State or Union in 'whih we can not poin~t with< -- -pr'ide to the career of our representative] men. If possible the necessity. of this] attribute is more notable now than< ever before. Human knowledge int all departments of science, practical and experimental, has been and is ad s-ancing with great. strides. .it is no ionger a mere gratifying distinction to K be well-infornaed. It is an indispen sable element of success. It matters little what line of life you please to I follow, you will find seienee has been ati work there as well as-elsewher~e, and< unless you knew her discoveries you will in evitably lag in the race. Buti is it possible for any inind to keep 1 pace with the never-ceasing develop ments of knowledge ? Aristotle, it is ~ Laid, was familiar with all the world knew in his day. An huindred Aris totles condensed into one could not do ] it now. B~ut I will tell you what you can do. What, after all, is the grandi object of education ? It is not to stufft your memories with the thought and< sayings of other men :but it is to ae- 1 quire- the faculty of correct and ex -haustive thought upon any subject which may present itself for your de. termination. If you think correctly i you will conclude reasonably, and thenu the way is open to act wisely. When 1 I was a student of law with Mr. Peti gree, on~e of the first men of this or any other country, noticing mue read. ing very laboriously, he said, 'my young friend, you appear to be doing much reading ;-let me tell you, one hour's genuine thought is worth five -j hour's reading.' This is truth itself. Whatever your speciality may be, of course you must know that-that is 3 your business. As to the rest, gather' as well as you can, a general informa- t tion of what is going on in the in- c tellectual and scientific world, and with I the trained power of thought of which e 1I have spoken you can, without diffi- c culty, when occasion requires, with s the help of books and men particularly ( informed, fit yourself for any emer genoy in which you may be required f ~ ay rest satistied that you are in the uest sense, anl educated man. But y young friends, the mind is a nat ?al rebel, and you will find it no isy task to zubjeet it to your will. requires effort, and the eiirt ia'ts rough life. The next char:aeteristie which dis. nguished those men of the past houri the State delighted to honor as this : They were honest, sincere nd earnest. Read their speeches ad writings. They thought stroug!y ad expressed themselves frankly he Anglo Saxon likes -sq uare-talk.' [e .dors not understand, and despises uplicity and tricks. When Saladil as edjis sabre through_the fioatiur eil, the English King balanced the ecount by cleaving an iron bar en. a'ain with his sword. He was nol ae watch of the Soldan in seight u1 aid. and he admitted it; but com )rted himself with that act and th< emark, 'I put some faith in a dowu ight English blow; and what we can of do by sleight we eke out b1 trength.' These men of . whom peak believed what they thought od said what they believed, and dit rhat. they said. It is not only thi oost honorable course, but; it is th, est policy with a free and intelligen eople. You cannot 'fool' such a peo le for long : they are sure to find yoi ,ut; and consequently the safes lan (putting all other and highe onsideration aside) is to speak thi ruth from the jump. Gen. Lee, on, f the best of this type, has written Private and public life are subject t he same rules, and truth and manli Iess are two qualities that will carr; rou through this world much bette ban policy, or tact, or expediency, o ny other word that was ever devis.< o conceal or mystify a deviation fron straight line.' What we want in ou lay and always is, men of high char eter, . with sound principles. I sa: uen of high character, energy an bility ; for what avail good principle f you have not good men to carr hem out. Mr. Canning, in a mein rable speech, exclaims in a burst o uthusiasm, EAway with the cant o measures not men.'' The idle sup )osition that it is the harness and no lie horses that draw the chariot along No, Sir, if the comparison must b ade, if the distinction must be taken uen are everythin, 'measures con iarativcly nothing.' It is vain t iope for any good or great resu! romn the principles, unless you hav vorthy and able men to ~execute them X. principle is a mere idea; tbe n s the principle in action. The char Lter add. ability of the man gives re dity and vitality to the priucipl Determine conscientiously what yoi eieve to be right--follow it withou ~wering-do not be diseouragedi ~ou see others wore facile and les crupulouis pass you in the race t is only for a while. Ilemember th dvice of -the Historian Nichola oght to the famous Prince Metter iceh upon his entrance into publi fe :'Your intellect and your hear ~re on the right road; persevere there n also in practical life : the lessonse ~istory will guide you. If you do nc 'ish to expose yourself to reproaches ever leave the styeight path. Yo1 'ill see many so-called great mei >ass by you with swift strides; le bem pass, but do not deviate fret ath. You will overtake them,i nly because you must meet then. an their uway back.' The observatiot f Prince Metternieh upon this ad ice in his memoirs, written at th lose of his renowned career, is, 'Th< ~ood man was right.' Pursue thi: ~ourse, and you will be sure to di ror duty; perhaps be finally enrole< mong the notable worthies of you tate. This last, however, depends a you will learn in time, on many ac idents. The race is not always t< be swift, nor the battle to the strong There is a divinity that shapes ou nds, rough hew them how we will. Pate has something to do with it 3ut it is never beyond our power t< L our duty; and the consciousness o his is the highest reward man cat joy. I have said the world alway ~ets sooner or later what the worl rants. It wants men such as I havy tempted to describe now, with ~reat want. It will ha.ve them. Se, o it that you be found among tha onorable body. Be brave, intelli ent, honest and earnest: with apacity of self-sacrifice, if you fee hat you duty requires such an offer ng from yod. There can not be ero without it. The key of thi eroic arch is. self-sacrifice. The bes f modere civilization rests on tw< rincipes: 'the principle of religioi ad the principle of a gentleman. 3elieve in the God of our fathers, an< d not in 'humanity sublimed,' no n 'the good, the beautiful and th< rue' nor in any other metaphysii rem, that no one can realize ; anm e a gentle man; and whateyer shape he political or social kaleideoscop rnay assume, you will be prepared ti neet them. You will have the tr~u alsman ; and like Conjus you wil ass safely through the enchante rood. Engrave upon your mnemorie he words of the stranded statesunu; "That once trod the ways of glory Lnd sounded all the depths and shoals o honor." "Be just and fear niot; .et all the ends thou aim'st at, be tu, Country's, 'hy God's, and Truths." )o this and in your way through lif ou will meet no Gorgons, Ilydras and Chinweras dire." at will have power to overbear o estroy you. And when the las ugle call sounds for you, you will ex laim, not in the infinitely sad wordi f the dyiug Rabelais, when th< upreme hour camne to him, 'Drop th< urtain; the farce is ended;' but like o.

IfJ~ our R{epublic'an brethren of thce .press go on for ai month as they have since J une 24th. they will begin to speak of "thlat traitor lianeoek." On jthe last few dayvs the L-aeral's miili tary' abilities and ac'hievemfents have been belittled, probaibly because no other point of attac'k eaut be found. TIhe trtor and secession cha.rges will Scome next. And when they come I Sam anxious to know what the soldiers of the army of the Potomac wihi have to say about it. They all know him, Strust him. gud4 admire him. Through the whole wai- Brigadier-Generals and Major-Generals c'ame to that army, fought or pretended to fight, resigned were discharged. or otherwise lLit it, Ibut H aeoek rea:inedK from first to last, alwayvs the: friend o;f th:ose with -whomi no was assoc.iated. From the rfirst 'egiment that left .liaine, Mass achusetts, New \or'k. ennsyv'anii, or' tuhe other Atlantie States, to the Ilast regiment who reached the front, they all knzow the Geueral. I want to know, thee, what these soldiers wil ay whIeI a parusan press has reached thtpln of idegredationl on which an attack u accksml Stary' record is thought proper. If rthere is not then st,eh an uprising of veterans in hiz defeuse as has never been SseeU, 1 am greatly maistakeni in the material of which the army of the Po towae was comlposed. .

Senato)r C>arpenter has. not been heard from since the Garfield nomination. Others of the eminment mein ot the piar. ty aie equaully silent. On the whole. the prospect for any geoeral enthu siasm for Garfield, looking at the matter from a Xashington stand point, is far fromh encouraging. On the other hand. there is not in the country a disaffected or lukewarm Ieortof proinece.Thy are alemoratetkt arndewill wokfri all for the ticket and will work for it.
