A Modkl Scuooi. ton Gikls. -Charlotte, N. C., June 10.?The Commencement exercises of the Chart, tie Female Institute came off Inst week, ns the musical Commencement had itouc the week before, most successfully. There were only three regular graduates out of 1 1 1 pupils in the litoraiy department. The standard of gruduntion is high and rigidly adhered to. One of these, Miss Willierspoon, is from Kunitir County, and, ns was mentioned last week, was also graduated in music. The llcv. l>r. Latimer, of iJavidsou College, delivered the nn.ual address. Ilis subject was t le "Higher Ivluration of Women," nud in an ablo and characteristically scholarly a Idrcss he showed how the truo civilisation of a people, its moral and social ulov.llittll llltnotliioil ntinli I lin < n cil to woman. Tho gradulcs also riaJ their j graduating essays, which sh wed a high culturo ; of llioughl and language. An interesting part of tho exercises was f.e recitation of Mies Dennett, of Georgia, who was graduated in tlie special course in elocution under the accomplished Miss Mottoon. In the; Full oflhc l'cmherion Mill," and "Henry the j Fifth's Wooing," she had opportunities of displaying Iter marked histrionic talents which she came to cultivate: in I lie former piece her power of pathos made itself conspicuously felt hy the audience, in the latter she sustained three : characters with wonderful versatility, and expressed their humor and nnivelte to the delight ! of all who heard her. During Monday and Tuesday, nud at night after the Commencements and Concerts in the chapel, the studio was thrown open for the exhibit of the paintings, pencil and crayon drawings, and decorative work of the pupils during the session. Some idea of how extensive the exhibit was, and of how high order were the taste and talent displayed, fioui tho surprise of the visitors, many of whom had conic from iho art exhibit of the schools in llaltimorc and New York, and could hardly he made to believe that the work was wholly that of the pupils of the Institute. Many wi.l probably remember the cxhioil made by the Charlotte Institute at the State Fair ! in Columbia last fall. 'I he present exhibit was superior, being in many instances the work of pupils who hud received one year nmre of instruction and piacticc. T..c beautiful mantel with its decorated panels, so conspicuous at last year's Fair, was replaced in this exhibit by one of more magnificent dimension, and of richer ' decorations by Mrs. \V. \V. Fit miug wlio, though in Iter lirsl year in lite studio, devoted herself J to art ".villi so much zeal and industry lli.il s >tno | of the handsomest paintings, drawings ami de : corations were her woik. Miss Mnrjoiic , McQu e:i, of < ltcrtiw, lmd a very extensive ' si v i ex hi hit of oil paintings, water colors, cray- j < 118 and decorative work. Iler work was ttiucli 1 admired for its exquisite taste and careful finish ; Miss t'arrie Mellwaine, of l.aueaster, exhibited the finest ph?.to-crnyon portrait ever seen in a like exhilnt of amateur nrtis's ; a slate t: hie top, several shite panels of beautiful design and work, ami several large oil paint tuff- made her name deservedly conspicuous in the art catalogue of, the year. There were some pretty little land- I scapes in pencil and crayon by Mis:;, hidie v Fountain, of Darlington, which were also ad mired ns giving promise of decided talent in the study of the line arts which she had just begun. Miss Anna I' o-dund, of Kciiuct tsvitlc had five beautiful landscapes in crayon, and a crayon j sketch called "A Tempting Mm sol,' all of which 1 showed the good taste and careful training char- j ncteristie of the pupils in art of this Institute. <>n Tuesday night Dr. Hide/, gave his annual concert. Tin.ugh this programme contained as a rule pieces of a lighter character than his commencement concertos, yet all were by nekuowl edged masters, i saw a catalogue id'the iostilute in which the programmes <>f hoili the u ti.-tcal commencement and annual concert were printed, giving musical connoisseurs an opportunity of judging of ilie standard of taste and cultuie aimed at, as the success of the concert.. ( showed the audience how successful the ace.on- j plished professor was in bringing his pupils up i to his standard.

The young ladies tli-1 themselves and their teacher great credit hy their modest deportment and very correct style of reciting the pieces selected for them. AIi#s Fuller, it is evident, appreciates the importance of teaching her pupils ta.it eh gnnt accomplishment so often neglected in all our schools, the art of reading crreetiy and lluctilly. Tlte exhibition of t'alistheuics was a novelty in this community, hut the grace and dignity of the movements of the young la lies made them very interesting to all. .Miss Fuller is one of the most accomplished and successful Ictualc teachers wc have ever had in I'nion, and it is gratifying to us to learn that she will continue in charge of the Academy n< .\ t year. She is also a lady of superior social and moral character, and posses the hap; y faculty of imparting those characteristics to her pupils. o Tho Cotton Factory Coming.

Kiiitok :?I'lcase give in your next paper the law in relation to employing teachers in (lie free schools. It is thought by sou<c that tlie School t'nmmissioner has the right to appoint aii'l tlie Trustees to employ any one not holding a certificate, whenever in their opinion the necessity for a school exists. I understand tliis lias been done in several instances and to the injury, it is said, of teachers holding certificates from the Kxauiiuing board. In a conversation recently with a gentleman living in .Saiituc Township ho told me that his wife had a good school last year, holding a , certificate from the Examining board and cm( ployed by the Trustees, that at the second session a lady not having a certificate set up a school near his wife, without the consent of the trustees, and gut her pay from Maj. Towttscn 1, notwithstanding the trustees refused lo endorse her illegal claims. 1Tb require 1, however, that ; her papers should lie cinlnrsc^^nel the teacher got the trustees in another Township to sign | Iter pay certificate. My informant said there was money enough to run one school eight or ten months, but tlie I funds were divided between the two, to the j injury of the entire school, ami in violation, us he thought, of the law. He said the inattor was brought before the Grand jury in March, but that the foreman said they had uo jurisdiction in such violations of the law. I have heard of several instances of persons teaching without certificates, or getting a certificate without an examination?an undoubted piece of favoritism on the part of Maj. Town! semi, and one that is very unjust and unfair to ! . other (etchers. We know of two pet sons , i . , * I I teaching at this time in one township without | i any certificate. In a conversation with otto of 1 I them he informed tne that Maj. Townsend told ; l hint to go ahead, if the trustees were willing, I and contQ up in duly to the examination, get a { j certificate, and ho would get his pay all the j Tl>u .UcL ii i# X ivorltlsm but (>!:.- in which both the commissioner and trustees have consent eel to squander the free I school fund. There is a regular school within three miles , with an average attendance of, perhaps, ten ' scholars, with a teacher, at $20 a month. The | I other has au average attendance of about two J and one half (2.1) scholars, the teacher of which i expects to get a first grade certificate, with cor" I responding pay, no doubt, while me of llictrus i 'ces will require ? 10. at least, for tlie use o' the nigger cabin in which lite lessons arc hc<tr>I. : We do not believe Maj. Towsend has the j authority, nor the trustees flic right, to employ any one not holding a certificate from I lie proper llxuuiiniug hoard. or from the superiiileii' dent of education. If lie lias such power lie { on-.lit to use (lie proper discrimination in tlie I select ion of his trustees ami teachers, otherwise many unworthy persons will he employed as j I teachers ami the free school fund squandered, j The whole thing is a farce, any way, and j ought to he abolished, or the conunissioncrs and I trustees made to conform to t hemw governing I tlivm.

Of those killed iu buttle, died of v wounds aui injuries, suicide, homicide, excoutiou, died of disease a id from unknown causes, there were 6,7-1 regulars, 2uC,2G5 white volunteers, und 33,880 colored troops, making a ,.J2, grand totul of 301,309.

Out of every Go one was killed in action ; out of every CO one died of wounds; out ot every 13 one died of disease ; out of every 9 one died in service* out of every 10 one was wounded in net mii. Airl as a great many 01 the men never ctiinc near the front or where subjected to the risk j of battle, the proportion of casualties to those who were actually in the fiehl was ot* course much greater.

It was laid out by Act of Assembly as early as 1086,forty-three years before Haiti more was known as an organized village. Parson Hnkcmic organized five congregations in Somerset County, and it seems to be well attested that Snow Hill isthe parent spot of Presbytcrianism in America. The surviving congregation, that has an unbro-ken history for two centuries, proposes to' celebrate the two hundredth anniversary by the croc'ion of a Makemic Memorial Church, and the enterprise is not only eminently commendable but it should receive the generous e couragement of Presbyterians throughout lite country. . o A Xatahi.k 11 t i'ntox.?Gen.
