The ladles and gentlemen of Ander son aro invited to be present and witness thc playing. _ ? TBS CHANGED SCHEDULE. As will bo seen by reference to tho sched ule of ^he Greenville and Columbia Rail road, published elsewhere, Uie timo fbr th< arrival and departafo of trains bas b?en greatly altered. This change is made in tin interest of Charleston, and makes tho trij from the up-country to Charleston, or viet vci-iu, consume only ono day. Tho arrival of tho down train, though carly in thc morning, is not objectionable, but tho even ing train reaches Walhalla, and all polnh above Belton, unreasonably lat>. By leav lng Charlestononohour oariier, and makin* tho trip ono hour quicker, by running a lit tie faster and shortening tho timo at sta ? cbjc?t?GV.

On arriving at tho University hill on MONDAY EVENING, the illuminated College building presented a fine appearance, which, however, paled J before tho brilliant scene within, where I wealth, fash'on, beauty, grace and intelli gence were arrayed. The large and spacious Chapel was beautifully twined with ever greens and hung with pictures. In thc middle of the stago Marshall's port rait of J Hampton was gracefully hung, while por traith of Gordon and Yanco ornamented thc corners of tho stage. Two pink transparen cies, strongly illuminated, had inscribed upon them respectively, "Miss Mamie Towers-Purity," and "Miss Ida Bcwlpy Fidelity." The exercises of thc evening were opened by thc students singing the beautiful hymn, "Nearer My God to Thee," after which a fervent prayer for tho prosperity of the in stitution and its pupils was offered up by Rev. J. S. Murray. The GRADUATING CLASS, which was composed of Misses Mamie Towersand Ida Bewley, both of Anderson, then read their compositions, as follows : Miss Ida Bewley, upon the subject, "Earth, with her many voices, praises Thee, oh, God," and Miss*Mamie Towers, the valedic torian of thc session, chose for her theme, "Time." Both of these subjects were beau tifully treated by their fair composers, who displayed fine attainments in the matter of j composition. Prof. Ligon, tho President of thc Faculty, then presented diplomas io thc graduates, and delivered a touchingly beautiful bacca laureate address, dwelling with emphasis upon their past relations, which were on this occasion to end, and offering words of counsel and wisdom to them upon entering upon the duties and cares of life. Ho closed by congratulating them upon their collegiate success, together with the proficiency they had attained, and expressed the hope that a happy and useful future awaited them. After the address tho song, "Better Luck To-morrow," wan rendered with fine effect by the graduates, and the following moo HAMME of the evening exercises was gone through : Waltz, Violin and Piano-Mrs. Pinkind and Miss Annie Fant.

Certificates of excellence, amounting to about three hundred In all, were thou awar ded, and the exercises cloded by MU61C on tho violin and piano by Mrs. Piukiud and ber daughter, to whom much of tho pleasure of tl'c occasion must be ascribed. As will be seen from thc programme thc entire music of the Commencement was furnished by theso accomplished ladies and the music pupils of Mrs. Pinklnd, who pre sides over the Musical Department of the College. Tho young ladies displayed fino musical attainments, and reflected great credit upon their teacher. Tho Commencement this year was a very fine Bucee-?*, and was fin exceedingly agreea ble aflr.'r, which displayed to fine advantage tho wor.^ of tho institution for tho past ses sion, which is vory encouraging to thc friends of co-cducation of thc sexes, and must bo highly satisfactory to thc patrons and pupils of the institution. County Correspondence. TO THE GEANGEB8. Your Pomona Grange and thc Anderson Agricultural Society have determined on having a Fair on thc 9th day of August, during tho sitting of the State Grange and thc State Agricultural Society. I appeal to the members of our Order throughout tho County-men and women-to make ono grand effort to sustain tho good name of Anderson County, by oach one bringing something to exhibit. Let it be tho duty of each member to bring specimens of wheat, oats, rye, barley, millet, grasses, Ac. ; corn, cotton, potatoes, tobacco ; vegetables of all kinds; water-melons and musk-melons; apples, peaches, plums-in tact, thc best specimens of all these you may have. Our sisters will please furnish Specimens of their handiwork-quilts, counterpanes, coverlets, blankets, needle and fancy work ; specimens of bread, rolls, rusk, biscuit, crackers, jellies, preserves, pickles; and don't forget your beautiful flowers-anything you have that will add interest to the meeting. Tho gates will bo thrown wide open and freo to all, and if tho subordinate Granges will take a lively interest in this matter success is cer tain. Again, this will do a great deal toward giving thc Grangers position and influence among tho people outside thc "gates," and permanently establishing our Order. Let each Master, and all other officers and mem bers, bestir themselves. Uigo this matter before your Grange, and wc will have the largest exhibition ever known in Anderson.

Mr. Editor: Through the columns of your valuable ?.aper, I desire to correcta false report circulated, intimating that I hove been appointing aud holding private meet ings in my neighborhood. I have had nothing to do with appointing or holding Buch meetings. If I was present at any such meeting I was not apprised of thc fuct. I am no aspirant for office. I am too high minded and hovi not sympathy enough for thc opposite race to condescend to affiliate in any such meetings. I never did, know ingly, neither do I ever intend to, violate tho ninth commandment, as sumo ol my friends have done. I hope they will come to me fir. facts, and I will establish them. R. M. BURNS. After a free and full conversation with Mr. Burns, I am free to say that I am con vinced of tho correctness of his statement above, and that lie did no intentional wrong by being present nt either thc meet ing of ait.

TUE CROSS AND THE CRESCENT. Thc American people arc dustant,yet most l?ecply-intere-ted spectators of the desperate struggle now in progress, between tho Mus covite and tho Torie. Tho vast array of forces ort either side, the character ot tho combatants, tho relentless, obstinate courage of thc Russian, thc fan at io valor of the Turk, thc complication cf Interests which seem destined to involve all Europe in tho strife, and the effect which such a war is likely to hove upon tho agricultural and In dustrial pursuits of this country, aro points which glvo to this contrat a deep and ab Borblngln tercet. And yet, il is a fact that the mass of Americans are almost wholly without any definite knowledge of thc regions most di rectly and primarily concerned in this war. To most readers of our newspapers, the news from the seat of war is in a largo degree'Un intelligible, from lack of information a&' to those people and countries.
