was adequate to the demand; though a much larger crowd was present than was expected. A Quarterly Meeting, at the Methodist church, io this place, closed yesterday, Rev. Dr. Meynardie, presiding. This gentleman preached an able sermon last evening, in advocacy of the Armenian doctrine of salvation, i In his judgment, a man must not fold his arms and expect to be saved, without some effort on his part. He must use all the means : of grace mentioned in the Bible. In the language of the great Apostle, he must work out his own salvation with fear and trembliug. h- Dr. Meynardie convinces by his logic, and delights by his eloquence. The pupils of Lowrysville Academy will accept my thanks for an invitation to attend their picnic and charades. It would have ( given me pleasure to have participated wun them in the closing exercises of their school, i had circumstances permitted. I have no J doubt my young friends of Lowrysville acquitted themselves admirably. Mrs. Waties Pendergrass, of this county, departed this life on Saturday. Qui. 1 l For the Yorkville Enquirer. 1 THE COLUMBIA FEMALE COLLEGE. | Mr. EditorThe commencement exercises of this flourishing institution, which occurred , last week, were far beyond those of any pre- , vious similar occasiou, in popular interest. A j class of fourteen young ladies graduated with , so much general credit, that it would seem in- , vidious to select one or more for special men. tion. , m We would venture, however, to refer to ] Miss Minnie Jones, daughter of Rev. Dr. ( ^ Jones, the former president of the College, who | read excellently well an original Latin thesis; , and Miss Florence M. Gist, of Arkansas, whose French composition could have been , equaled by one in LatiD, had she selected the f latter tongue. Miss Lula Jones, daughter of , President Jones, favored the audience with, "Look before you Leap." A timely warning ( to the young men present, for, her uncommon ( beauty and intelligence might have caused f ?? lAAlrinf*?f KniiuK 1 more limn uue iu i?>p ?b b_ , it should prove to be a "leap" in the dark ! ( Misses Florence Gist, of Union, Sophie Brutton, of York, Ella H. Hardin, and E. I MeCully, of Chester, distinguished themselves in English composition and elocution. The "Valedictory" to the "DeStael Literary Society," by Miss MeCully, daughter of the late Thos. MeCully, of Chester, was pronounced by a former Judge and AttorneyGeneral, of the State, a well known scholar and orator, not only remarkably pure in diction, but profoundly philosophical in thought, and equal in delivery to any he ever heard iu a Male or Female College. This young lady was known as the "orator" of her class. Nine young ladies graduated in the Normal departments of Kindergarten and Calisthenics, and received their diplomas, with the assurance of their ability to teach these most attractive, interesting, useful, and profitable systems. Miss Putnam, of New York State, is at the head of these novel departments in ^ the College, having been expressly trained in the city of New York for the place she fills with so much ability and grace. President [ Jones will secure Miss Putnam for the ensuiug session ; and the large number of children as well as young ladies of the Normal school, i who purpose availing themselves of her skill ( in amusing whilst she instruct*, will render it ' necessary to employ one or more assistants, which the recent graduating class will supply. . The College has been well managed the ( past session ; the instruction has been thor- t oueh : the cuisine and domestic departments, I and influence, unexceptionable; and, the air < of refinement aud propriety which has perva- 1 ded the institution during the administration ' of President Jones, and which was strikingly ^ visible in all the pupils and the exercises of j the commencement, commends this excellent < institution of learning to all who desire a < substantial, practical, and yet, polished edu- I cation for their children. An intimate acquaintance with the presi- ' dent and his family, fully warrants the re- j mark that, they are eutirely accustomed to i intellectual and refined society, and no gen- 1 tleman's daughter in their social circle, will 1 come in contact with what iB coarse or dis- J commendable. Your correspondent is authorized to say that the grade of scholarship will be still ? higher the next session, and the faculty will be < carefully selected, whilst the charges will not advance. ' I must not omit to inform your readers ' that the anniversary oration was delivered by | j Col. J. P. Thomas, of the Carolina Military | Institute, of Charlotte, N. C., and was, in all | respects, a master-piece of composition and elo- < cution, giving wonderful satisfaction. < Patron. . ??. i CHAMBERLAIN ON HAYES. ' Ex-Governor Charaberlaiu delivered an ad- I dress -it Woodstock, Connecticut, on the Fourth, denunciatory of President Hayes' Southern policy. In the course of bis speech | he said : ' "A Presidential policy, if the terra is de- < scriptive, is an anomally and offensive. It < savors of bad faith. It has a native and his- 1 torical odor of treachery and intrigue. But, ' fellow-citizens, what is the President's South- ? ern policy ? In point of physical or external i fact, it consists iu withdrawing the military 1 forces of the United States from the points in J South Carolina and Louisiana where they had i been previously stationed for the protection ' aud support of the lawful governments of 1 those States. In point of immediate, foreseen 1 aud intended consequence, it consists in the ' overthrow and destruction of those State gov- < ernments and the substitution in their stead s of certain other organizations called State < crowprnments. In point of actual present re i b~ suits, it consists id the abandonment of South- i ern Republicans, and especially the colored < race, to the control and rule, not only of the 1 Democratic party, hut of that class at the i South which regarded slavery as a divine in- ' stitution, which waged four years of destruc- i tive war for its perpetuatiou, which steadily ) r opposed citizenship and suffrage for the ne- < gro. In a word, a class whose traditions, ' principles and history are opposed to every 1 step and feature of what Republicans call our j national progress since 1860. In point of|< general and moral significance, it consists in i I the proclamation to the country and the world \ < that the will of the majority of the voters of! 1 f . a State, lawfully and regularly expressed, is | i no longer the ruling power in our States, and 1I that the constitutional guarantee to every j) State in this Union of a Republican form of11 government and of protection against domes- , i tic violence, is henceforth ineffectual and 11 worthless. I could frame an excuse for Jas. < Buchanan. He was the decaying fruit of half j 1 a century of Northern subserviency to Southern dictation, the poor dregs of a worn out 1 politician whose life had been spent in cower- ' ing submissiou to the will of those whom he was now called to confront. But what shall i be said of this President, educated by the < events of the last seventeen years, the long i J nud perilous struggle to save the nation to freedom and justice; the representative of a ^ party whose life and inspiration in every hour I of its existence has been political justice and freedom for all American citizens?a President who had literally climbed to bis high seat over the dead bodies of hundreds of loyal ! men in Louisiana, who bad met death in forms far more terrible than any battle field in order that the liberty of which they had tasted might be kept for their children., Jas. Buchanan could say he negotiated with those who were in arras against the United States in order that he might, by peaceful agencies, preserve the integrity of the Union and avert a fratricidal war. This President enters upupou his negotiations with those who are in artns against the lawful government of Louisiana in order that he might the more surely betray the friends who had trusted him and the cause he was sworn to uphold. Now, fellow-citizens, I exercise the right of an American citizen in freely expressing myself when I say that a review of this chapter of our history leaves me in no doubt that the real purpose of the Louisiana Commission and of the whole conduct of the Louisiana case by the President, was to accomplish the overthrow of Gov. Packard and his authority. Called upon under the Constitution and laws of the country as its chief executive to discharged grave public duty, a duty essential to the maintenance of the life of a great State, a duty equally essential to the maintenance of human rights and the principles of the political party which had elected him, the President not only declines the duty, but he stabs the State that sought his aid and betrays the principles and men whom he was bound to uphold and protect" A An.anaoklnmn t V> Q O VlATTQ offOl'n fnr anmo illtCl oaiugiu biiv avv/vv vvimiu ?v? time, the ex-Governor next attacked the civil service policy of the President, and closed, as he said, only for want of time, as the subject still stretched out before him. At the conclusion of his speech, the Rev. Mr. Stoddard, of Fairhaven, Mass., arose and said that he desired, with due respect to ex-Governor Chamberlain, to say that he believed the sentiments expressed in the address did not represent the feeling of New England. He then called for all those who endorsed the policy of President Hayes to signify it, and three hearty cheers were given for the President Somebody then called for three cheers for ex-Governor Chamberlain, and they were loudly given. Mr. Wait, President of the Convention, then arose and stated that it should be underitood that every speaker was personally responsible for what he said. As for himself, ae had an abiding confidence in the integrity >f President Hayes, and confidence in his policy. These remarks were greeted with learty cheers. Oliver Wendell Holmes and Mr. Blaine ilso addressed the meeting?the former in a ew lines of verse laudatory of President Elayes, and the latter in a lugubrious strain, ;he text of which was the acquisition ot Mexco, against which scheme he warned his hearire, as thereby the power of the South would >e greatly increased. He also argued that ill annexation of territory for sixty years ifter the foundation of the Government, had jeen in the interest of the South. He next idvocated the annexation of Canada, and :oncluded by saying the Government ought ? be controlled by the North, and that every >ossible danger of its falling into the hands >f the South should he avoided. HOW THE WAlTwAS ENDED. jiraphic Pen Picture of the Scene of the Surrender of Lee. # 'From a Decorative Day Address by General George H. Sharp, United States Army.'] I remember?and it was recalled to me tolight in conversation when the name of Gen. 3rant came up iu thecourse of conversation ? ,he wonderful scene that transpired in that ittle place in Virginia on the 6th of April, [865. It was late in the afternoon when it lecame known that General Lee had sent for 3en. Grant to surreuder to him. It was beween 2 and 3 o'clock when we met in the ittle room in the house where the surrender >f Lee's army took place. I know that there s a belief that the surrender took place under in apple tree, where Grant and Lee met and jxchanged a few words. The surrender took nlace in the left hand room of that old-fashoned house. The house had a large piazza which ran along the full length of it. It was >ne of those ordinary Virgiuia houses with a jassage-way running through the centre of it. In that little room, where the meetiug took ;>lace, sat two young meu?oue a great graud>on of Chief Justice Marshall, of the Supreme Court?reducing tojwritiug the terras of ;he surrender on behalf of General Robert E. Lee; the other a man with dusky countenance?a great nephew of that celebrated ihief, Red jacket?acting under Gen. Grant, rhey two were reducing to writing the terms >f the surrender of the Army of Northern Virgiuia to the Army of the Potomac. Gathsred around the room were several officers, of whom I was one. At some distance apart sat two men. The larger and older of the two was the most striking in appearance. His hair was white as ika rlrltjon annul ThpPfi WftS Dot. R SnP.ck I] OOn tiis coat; not a spot upon those gauntlets that he wore, which were as bright and fair as a lady's glove. That was Robert E. Lee. The nther was Ulysses S. Grant, whose appearance contrasted strangely with that of Lee; his boots were nearly covered with mud ; one button of his coat?that is, the button-hole was not where it should have been?it had clearly gone astray; and he wore no sword, while Lee was fully aud faultlessly equipped. The conversation was not rapid by any means. Everybody felt the overpowering influence of the scene. Every one present felt they were witnessing the proceedings between the two chief actors in one of the most remarkable transactions of this nineteenth century. The j words that passed between Grant and Lee were few. General Grant?endeavoring to ipologize for not being fully equipped?aud noticing the faultless appearance of Lee? while the secretaries were busy, said : "Geu. Lee, I have no sword ; I have been riding all light." And Lee, with that coldness of manner and all the pride?almost haughtiness ? which,after all, became bim wonderfully well, never made any reply, but in a cold, formal manner, bowed. And Gen. Grant, in the enieavor to take away the awkwardness of the scene, said : "I don't always wear a sword, because a sword is a very inconvenient thing." Lee only bowed again. Another trying to relieve the awkwardness of the occasion, inquired : "General Lee, what became of the white horse you rode in Mexico ? He might not be dead yet; he was not so old." Gen. Lee bowed coldly, and replied : "I left him mnnl'ov riopr I 11/ IUC YY 11 lie 11UUOO) uu buv x hiumuuwj . . . v. j and I have not seen him since." There wa6 one moraent when there was a whispered conversation between Grant and Lee, which no-1 body iu the room heard. The surrender took the form of correspon-! Jence; the letters were all signed in due form by the chief actors, iu the presence of each other. Finally, when the terms of surrender bad all been arranged, and the surrender made, Lee arose, cold and proud, and bowed to every person in the room on our side. I remember each oueof us thought he had been specially bowed to. And then he went out and passed down the little square in front of the house, and bestrode that gray horse that carried him all over Virginia; and when he had gone away, we learned what that whispered conversation had been about. General Grant called his ofHcersabout him, '.nd said; "You go to the Twenty-fourth, and y m to the Fifth," aud so on, naming the corps, "and ask every man who has three rations to ^rn over two of them. Go to the commissaries and go to the quartermasters, &c.; General Lee's army is on the point of starvation 1" Twenty five thousand rations were carried to the Army of Northern Virginia. hnhv with Oniiim or 1/U liut Siujltlj JHUI .MiuJ ......

Why t risk $2 in a bushel of German Millet Seed, th careful preparation of the land, to procure e of the best crops, for the least money, grown ? >u do not do it. This Millet Seed can be sown til the 1st of August, and nine times out often, u will be paid over one hundred per cent, for i amount invested. It is not the profit we dee from the sale of the Millet, that we persist in ur buying it. Gentlemen, our reason foradrtising and advocating this thing is to relieve m of paying out so much money for long forage stock during the cold, rainy months of winIt does not matter to us what it costs Mr. nes, Mr. Smith or Mr. Davis to feed his horse, it it concerns us and Is a consolation to know it we or any one else who owns stock can feed it stock at less expense by raising Millet Hay. me do not believe what we advertise. We can jve, by living witnesses, to-day, all we have d in regard to Millet Hay. If time lasts long :>ugh, your scepticism will vanish like smoke m the hill tops. Now is the time to sow it. not put it off, and after you see your neighbor tli fat, sleek horses and mules, say you wish u had done as Bill Herndon asked you to do. >ur wheat is now ofT of some of your best ids, and with a little manure and good plowing u have until the 1st of August to sow it.
