A boroo ran away from < ie Blue Ridge depot tho other morning and came near going into tbs cut across Main street, owing to tho fence between the foot and wagon bridges being down. Tho railroad authori ties had better toko our advice and hnvo this matter attended to. Tho town was without corn or meal for several days last week. If thia condition of affaira had bavo continnedlong it would havo been about as bad for the country Ecopie os for those of tho town. It used to e that tho country supplied the town with corn, meal, etc., but now the town supplies the country. Wo would direct attention to tho adver tisement of tho Williamston Male Acade my, which appears elsewhere in this issue. Mr. Wi W. Brown, the principal, is an ac complished teacher, and enjoyed a liberal pthonage lost session, having about forty f.te pupils to entor. with an average, attcn r 'anco of about thirty-eight. So far as our observation extends tho trop prospects In Anderson County were never oettcr. Cotton and corn look clean and well cultivated, and wheat has escaped tho rust. Oats aro not good, owing to tho dry weather. Everybody is hard at work, and with favorablo seasons henceforth a splendid Crop will be garnered. Thc following is a statement of taxes col lected by tho Treasurer of this county dur ing the month of May : State, $3,926.03 ; County, $1,977.21 ; School, $1.672.47 ; Polls, 8181.50.

Wo heard a gentleman uay the other day . that hs was a candidate for ? lu: Legislatura next year, and his only object in being elected was to introduce a bill abolishing corn-cribs and smoke-houses.

Tho plo nie of ;he German Club of An derson on lost Thursday was a very sue ' cessful and pleasant alibir. The selection of Andcrsonville, with its beautiful rivers and scenery, as tho location for the gather ing was altogether fortunate, as tho sports of fishing and rowing afforded an agreeable interlude to the dancing and conversation to which tho day '-light otherwise havo been limited. A largo number of ladies and gentlemen attended and spent a most ' charming day. Something a little out of tho usual order occurred at Anderson a fow days ago. A gentleman being in neod of com bitched ap bis horse and went out into tho country and secured a supply. Ho saya tho farmer haS enough left for bia own use, hos money to loan, good stock, and lives well. Every farmer who makes enough corn for his own uso io prosperous, but you can't convince tho majority that it will pay to wilso their own previsions. Suppose, for instance, that a great. Mood should cut us off from the West, what would the peoplo of Anderson do? We doubt if there is more than six weeks or two months. Bupply of provisions in tho County. Thia state of affairs ?3 de plorable. Think of it I Col. Morrison, an accomplished civil on Stneer of ability and reputation, was in inderson on last Monday and Tuesday as tho guest of Maj. Thomas B. Leo, Chief Engineer of tho Savannah Valley Railroad.. COL Morrison is from New York, and arrived hero at the conclusion of a tour of inspection of the route and cost of tho Savannah Valley "Railroad Company, made under the direction and in tho interest of tho purchasing committee of tho South Carolina Railroad. Ho expressed himself as pleased with tho country, and with thu proposed road. Aft?r thc sals of ?hs South Carolina Railroad in Juiy, wo havo no doubt vigorous steps will be taken for the earlv completion of tho Savannah Valley Road.

It waa pare? ned by him at tho salo of tha estate of oh? of the Calbouns In Abbeville county tomo years ago, and is known to havo been the property of members of the Calhoun family for many years-exactly bow long is not known. Ewing Calhoun, tho last owner of the rifle, was a cousin to John C. Calhoun. It ts believed by some thai the uaroea "Colhoun'' and "Calhoun" were orignally the samo-ono branch of tba family calling themselves -by the former and the ot her by tho latter. The rille is a long old-fashion ed, sor! ng-t I i rar, large bore deer gun, finely mada, heavily mounted with oolid silver, and in good condition. It was restocked from native black walnut that grow on John C. Calhoun's plantation in Old Pendleton. It ia a valuable rollo that bas passed through the day a of vol umes of history. , We clip the following frorja the Oreen ville Daily Neus of tho 4th instant : "Om of those Instances in which the hero for ai extreme emergency is fouud. occurred a thc residence of Major Bussell, in An?v?Tsot county, on day before yesterday.

ANDERSON FEMALE SEMINARY. Commencement Exorclocs at ?He Cloeo ol thc Bocond Session-A Charac eristic Ad dress by Col. Aiken-Marked Wrsse?* ol Gen. Ayar'B Efforts to EstabUift: ? first Class Female Behool In Anderson. Tho Commencement Exorcises of the Anderson Feraulo Sominary, at the v "wc ot tho second session on Friday oven, jg last, was attended by a large concourse of our citizens, and was greatly enjoyed by all present. The young Indico of tho Seminary woro congregated ou tho front piazza of the boarding bouso, which was tastily decorated with festoons of ever greens and flowers, and brilliantly light ed with lamps. The audience was seated in front of the house, tho whole yard be ing beautifully illuminated by Chinese lanterns, which wero Bwoyod to and fro amone tho widospreading bows of tho splendid ooks by a stiff breeze, giving to tho wbolo ?veno a picturesque appear ance. Aftor a few pieces of music by the pu pilo of tho Sominary, Gen. Ayer intro duced itu. the orator' of tho occasion Hon. D. Wyatt Aiken, of Cokesbury, our Rep resentativo in Congress, who spoko as follows: Mr. President, Toadies and Gentlemen : Six weeks ago, when confined to a bed of serious illness, I was invited to ad dross tho young ladies of this Seminary during tbolr examination upon the sub ject of "Female Education.'' Sick as I was, the invitation provoked a smile. For what did I know about "Female Ed ucation" ? Was I cVwT a tutor of yonng ladies, or in any wist a preceptor of tho gentler BOX? No. Tiien why request me to discourso upon a subject of which I was presumptively BO ignorant? Whilo I thus soliloquized to myeelf, Mr. Presidont. the inquiry was suggested, aro you hot a father i Have yon no daughters for whoso i .acation you are responsible? I could but reply affirma tively, for in tho popular acceptation ol the term, I bavo educated three, and have three moro now undergoing tho same process cf training. Apprehensive that my system might differ essentially from the practice of- tho parents of tho yonng ladles whom I bavo tbe honor this evening of addressing, I determined to accept tho invitation, and am ho. o not to ad viso or instruct, but to suggest-and perhaps counsel. My sug gestion? may not be approved by this auditory, but I feel assured they will sui vive the most adverse criticism, for thoy simply portray in a great measuro tho successful result of my own domes tie and paternal practice. Let us then at tho be ginning unaly zo tho terni Education. Popularly, that parson is said to bo edu cated who has passed boyond the con finos of a school ho uso, ann hos received a diploma from a College, or mastered tho curriculum of a University. Indeed, ho or abo is educated who has graduated anywhere. Habitually, our daughters begin to acquire thia education ut SODIO Turu de Behool near homo. In a few year, tflvy leavo tho patornal roof, amid tho caress ing and tear shedding of tho family, fjr a boarding school in some distant toi rn oe city, and aftor a prosorlbod course of study thoro, which has not boon altered or amended since tho foundation of tho institution, they grad?alo, having in tho common acceptation of the term received an education. ' All this is wolf, and would that ir. wore within the reach of every child in the land. But, Mr. Presi dent, cac this bo said to bo moro than a partial education, even for young ladies? Of all tho various phases of education which' aro BO essentially necessary to prepare girls for the inovltablo duties of womanhood, nono aro more important than intellectual training. But, sir, ia thia more than oue of the many phases of education ? Our moral natures, too. aro to be developed both by precept and example And in theso utilitarian times I feel warranted In insisting that it is no loss important that the physical woman mu3t as well bo disciplined and culti vated. Education thon ia tho fullest de velopment of the man or woman intel lectually, morally and physically, aceom p'.nlcd by ia practical aptitude to adapt himself or berselr to the varioua vicissi tudes of life. I am not aware that edu cation os thus defined is. tba result of a scholastic cou ruo in an v nf our anminn. rles, either malo or fomalo. Constant effort is exorcised to develop tho intel lectual; tbe moral is usually -evoked by example, but tho physical dpveloprncnt is gonorally confided to the custody of ?ich individual self. If this is ?0, it is not as it should bu. Montai training is, nf course, absolutely essential, for It ls tho mind that sways, whether it bo on tho farm, in tho workshops, or in the council balla of our country. But in this section, where citizenship has been do ged od, and where moral contamination can Lo seen through every window of our dwellings, bow essential to have the ris ing generation taught that reefjtudo of conduct, thal character is the brightest Jewol in tho casket of.tho'r accomplish ments? And throughout tho South, where sectional poverty impresses tho observaut traveller, it can bo no loss essential for tba happiness of this samo youth in after lifo to have thom taught self-help, which necessarily results in physical development. Tho processor acquiring what is called an education , la .A routine of disciplino, conflnoraent and study, which for many yesra bas bad but little variation. True we bavo the Kindergarten, tho Graded School, tho Agricultural Collego and I norna other nominal innovations ii non the old ?yetom, but it la not apparent to my mind that oven theso aro improve ments. Tho Kindergarten, which when anglicized moana the child's garden, is metaphorically a gardon wboro children, between the ages of three and seven, aro tho planta to bo cultivated under the care of some faithful gardenor. Teodor plants, indeed, thCS?O to he removed from the maternai caro of tf>t*ewho boro them. Tho Kindergarten is a nursery whore lu? fan ts moy be left during tho day under the care of sorno kind and cheerful stew ardess while their parents aro engaged al their dally labors away from borne. I uso tho illustration in no opprobrious sense, when I say that tho Kindergarten ia Identical with tho system adopted on many of our largo plantations before the war, when all the nursing mothers wert - required to take tholr injknta to soma 3 central house on the Bisuiattou to bo left i during tho day in the care of .a chosen t old ntormiia, whose duty lt' WM to feed, t? amos*.and protest the urchin* until titelt ;, mothers relamed from tho field, c Voluntarily to submit to such a system ? ls unnatural. But where poverty do 1 manda it, maternal affection must yield . Such u syateui eau never prevail in ev r cjltural sections or in sparsely soltlev? i coinnkBoitiea, bot doobtlosa is admirably r adaptad to manufacturing centren. Thc s Graded Schools, no far aa I have beet! . ablo to investigate them, aro no Improve t ment upon that aohool whore you and I f Mr. President, received our academia od s ucation. Ana a majority of the Agrlcul . tu ral Colleges in tho United States tesol . the btudouts everything but agriculture f Hen y*. I repeat, tho present systems o: t ?ducation have changed hut little fro it i what thoy wore years ago. Atthotondoi i age of six. or perhaps soven, (throe year . too soon in my opinion) too child ba; . been taught tho alphabot at home, and 1 I then sent to school first, perhaps, to loan i to spell monosyllables, then to cou noe k two or moro of those together and apel ? words, then to road, aud on to momo . rlzlug and repeating the multipllcatloi i tablo, to raddng fino and ooarae stroke . with a pen, and ultimately to acquiring ? a smattering of hietory ; to writing a fal i hand, to understanding vulgar fractions or porhapa tc calculating the interest oi o note, and showing that tho boole save . what ho daos not comprehend, that vo. b ? are of three kinds, active, passive am noutor. And with those acquirements ends th scholastic course of niost of our youtln I Thoy ?re thou aald to b&vo rece'rad ai I elementary education," o? that edacatloi 1 which BO many mon, who by closoappll . cation to utility, by Indomitable enerar, i and perse veranee, have attained to.d?i ; Unction in after lifo: are fond of boastln, 1 is the only education they received ii ? yonth. Thon again other children ar > more fortunate, and have a longor leas . of scholastic Ufo. They aro advanced t ' a higher courso of study, and acquire ? knowledge of t'-o ancient languages b ' a compulsory i adoring of Virgil an . Horace, of Homer and Xenophon. An aa thoy progress they doive ii.-.o phitosc i phy, absorb tomos of history, master th science of trigonometry, and anon ht ' como polished in tho art of rhetorio an belles-lettres. This accomplished tho . receive a diploma of graduation from Oollego or University, and aro roputod K ' havo iecolvod a liberal education. St/q Eing then upon tho threshold of mai ood, ono of tho so-called lea*ned pn fessions is perhaps selected as their voe: tlou in ofter lifo, and, if so, a still fm thc . course of study Is necessary to ;qul ? them with a professional education. Titus from twolvo to fifteen yearn ct ll are consumed in preparing youths 1 grapple with tho uncertainties of 1 tt world, which a vost proportion of thei r fail to do successfully, often times bocau their energios havo neon bout upon tl r full development of a singlo puoso of ei , ucation. But, Mr. President, who? cia of our youth is it that boa hau bestowt upon thom this long and tedious cour , or scholastic montai training? Is It tl boys or tho girls? Tho-young mon , the maidens? Let me answer this que tion by asking another. Who in all tb 1 Southla-Jd ovor beard of a woman gra uatlng at ono of onr oidor and higher i stitntions of learning ? What woman tho South to-day bolds a diploma of gra nation, having received what I have d scribed nbovo os n liberal education, ai still less a professional education ? A any of thom over advanced boyond t purview of an elementary education ? Possibly we are the happier pooplo 1 thus limiting female education, for may provont the cropping out of tl ? class of strong-minded womon who, practically unsoxing themselves be coi a bano to any sooloty. In thetand morality and isms Dr. Mary Walk who wears brooches and a standing c< lar, has graduated as a physician, and Dr. Susan -Edison's skill is attributed t recovery of tho President's wlfo from 1 recent sovoro attack of malarial lev Mrs. Bolva Lockwood, who walks a talks like a man, is a regularly lioent lawyer, who practices before all t courts of Washington City. Miss Sus B. Anthony can make a Btump upc* two hours long on woman's rights. A hoots of other masculino worn throughout the North aro dally spcaki and praying for tho universality of v mar. aufirage, that they might become election ruling statesmen or ntatesv mon in our National Congress. Are such anomalies tho result of advanced "Female Education"? Il ven forbid. I would ruthor Bee tho o< cation of womon circumscribed witl its narrowest limits, than seo hor, ; , result of hor more Uboral educati usurping tho province of man. It by means follows, that becauso woman education become self-reliant, that thc fuF? nba must boco mo masculino. "V man bas ber peculiar sphere, and for to venture to transcend 't, is for bei renounce hor loveliness. Too point I ? siro to ma\o, however, ls .'bai thron out tho South tho standard or fol?alo ucation is not sufficiently hljb. Le! roviow for a moment tho ?ebola coarse of tho two soxes.

No man would bo so rash as to say theso studies aro beyond the capacit womon. True, woman - waa croat help-meet for mau, and St. Peter nd husbands to treat thoir wives as weaker vossol." But docs this argue woman is incapable of receiving tho i finished mental discipline? Unabl perform as much labor or endui much fijJ.ifjnn ru? man. woman ia phyi ly his inferior. Morally sho is by hi as surely his superior, and. natn nothing prevor.U ncr being as oapat ho of receiving tho highest intcllc culture. Io all the catalogues of tho Fe Seminarios that I havo aeon, rhetor! logie aro pabllahed aa a portion c studies required, and th's to tho e -Alon of tho languages and the h mathematics. Why la thia?

That I may not bo accused of judging too critically, look over the catalogues of our Somborn fe male seminaries and as* how frequently tho uiUHiv-al department is tu tho bane's of Professor So-sud-So. with a long uatuo oitbor from Germany or Franco or BOWS other forcigu country, and not under the control of graduates of tho institu tion. Sb with drawing, painting, ?ax work, making artificial liowors. Theso arts are frequently taught in our seminaries, but where will you find a young lady in the Stato or tho South who has made a pro-, fenelon of either of them ? I would bavo the young lady, who had a peculiar talent for any of these arts, study it, master it, aud ply it aa ber vocation in aftor lifo. Who er ?i point me to a Southern l?malo artist of any c*': .'brity either ss a painter, rausicU- ar rm Jptor ? And yet tho baud-, sorao3t .norbie monument/-, in out nation al capital ir.ve been chlsoled by tb' fair bund of womau. In 1874 I was so circumstanced that I could give employment to a half dozen or moro young ladies in making artificial flowers, 1 wrote to friends in almost ovory Southern city, enquiring whethor this demand could be supplied thore. I failed to socuro a singlo ono ir. all tho South, but bad no difficulty in engaging them st th-, North. Now, In jst uot be understood es ad vocating tb J policy of woman's receiving a bighor education simply that abo may become a professional character. Not at nil. But I do believe in on cou rag bip ovory one to utilize the talonts with which thoy are endowed. And to this end I o nsider it tho duty of parents to educate their daughters os thorough!., os thoir rions, and wherever any peculiar or superior talent ls discovered, it should be fostorod, encouraged and disciplined to its utmost capacHy, Not otherwise can success In any vocation be attained now-a-dayH. V. o live lu a mechanical, Inventive, progressive age, and overy wboro and at all times skill is rocognlzod and encouraged. When wo rotuumbor that but a few years ago our land was desolated by tho horrors of civil war, from which wo have but partially recu perated, and when tho prosperity of to day is rendorod doubtful by ibo evidenc es of povorty wo soe M abundantly man ifested in ovory quarter, it behooves tho paronts of tho rising goneration through out the South to Inculcate upon their children tho necessity of acquiring a general education, not for ornamontal but for practical purposes. For whon thc-so youths loavo tho precincts of tho school or collcgo, and enter upou tho arena of manhood or womanhood, thoy will flud tho world but a restless, sooth ing, social whirlpool, wbero self is tho motivo power, where, disinterestedness is a virtno of exotic growth, bnt where education is tho controlling element in the competitivo contests of lifo'. - ' General education proparos tho mind to secure success in every occupation, and makes men, Special education connnancfj success in every ?utorprlso in which thc recipient is called to act. Tho educated man,' therefore who bends his energ?a to tho accomplishment of a singlo deed, or plios all tho fore o of his trained intel lect to tho development of a single idea will far outstrip tho man who, withoui training, without acquirements, rolla for the attainment of tho satno end upor the innate powers of natural genius And never was tholr a country la which nor a people among whom, this educatcc individuality was moro necessary thai right here amone ns of tho .South, whop tho demoralization of war bad segre gated the purposes and broken tho ties o a onco united and happy people.

Yes, young friends, common sense is ne Impractical. And tho practical tuan usually endowed with good conin sense.
