Photon, A correspondent of the Richmond Dispatch writes as follows from the University of Virjrinia: Th? public hall was orowded this morning nt half-past 10 o'clock, to hear the address of General John S. Preston, of South Carolina, before the Washington and Jefferson Lite? rary Societies. Mr, C. J. Faulkner, Jr., in behalf of the Societies, tendered the au? dience a cordial welcome, and grace? fully introduced the orator of the day, G?n?ral John S. Preston, of South. Carolina. Ho was received with the most vociferous applause, which compelled him to remain standing for several minutes, and perntitted the audience to gaze upon one of the noblest looking men I ever saw. His splendid figure, erect as an arrow, noble countenance, lighted with the fires of genius, mar? tial bearing, and heuvy groy mous? tache, reminded one of an old Mar? shal of Franco, in the proud days of Napoleon's power and glory. Ho began by a beautiful allusion to the lessons taught by classic Greece, where Homer learned to sing of gods aud heroes, the sculptured marble wa3 mado instinct with lifo. Anacreon wrote in sweetly flowing numbers. Demosthenes thundered the voico of freedom, tho Leonidas died in tho cause of liberty. Rome taught us tho science of government and law. The lessons of Israel come from the waves of the Red Son, tin Mount of God, Siloa's brook, anc Calvary's cross. Rut he proposed tc draw lessons nearer home, from th? historic past of Virginia-her heroes and her principles. Ho vividb sketched tho old glory of Virginia in tho freedom of her people and th? excellency of her institutions. Hi gave striking illustrations from his tory to show that tyranny had neve been able to crush tho spirit of liber ty, and that when it seemed emslie* iu Europe, it found a refago ou thi sido of tho ocean, and gavo to tb world Washington and his Virginia But where and what is that Virgini to-day? Four days heneo will b celebrated tho day on which wa signed the instrument intended t give to us tho fruitage of tho vintag of liberty; and on that day orator will speak in the namo of freedom Rome still called her tyrants Cmsai and preserved carefully the insigni of liberty-her Senntors still si clothed in purple robes, and o festal days her orators Haunted th names of her patriots long aft? every spark of liberty was extii guished. So on tho approachiu natal day of American independent the names of Virginia's patriots wi be flaunted over tho land; for dui indeed would bo tho day without tl lustre of those names which gave its chiof glory. Will it be asked c that day where is Virginia? Tl world has honored her; Franco d creed honors to his memory, and tl great Napoleon bowed his laurel? brow in revereuco to Virginie Washington. He proposed to ta of this Virginia to-day. In boybo? ho remembered to hnvo seen soc proud Indian return to this regi< to hunt up and fondly linger nroui tho graves of his fathers. Is it trc sou for us to-day to inquire aft those great names which Virgin gave to the world, and to linger fond affection around their grave The orbits of nations aro fixed 1 tho God of nations; but repolla forces como to drive them from tin proper courses, and thus revolutio and conflicts come. They wero t true prophets, who, twenty yej ago, told us that wars would cen Wo know of its cruel, blighti march over tho laud. "And, wh now, after the blast of that tempe wo turn our seared eyes upon t scone, wo ask, in terror-stricken 1 wildermont, where is Virginia? that shrunken, mutilated, chan corso the greeu gift of God to 1 ?lew world, the blessed among 1 nations, tho mother of Washingt? the creator of American liberty, 1 exemplar and the model of the wor Oh ! the grand old motlier. Bob her, this day seven years ago, clothed in tho panoply of Pallas, i roso from tho lethargy of years, ] oyes kindled with tho memory ol' I giant sous of her youth, sho gm her spear and waves her golden hi and, standing on her capitol, sho her ancient war-song, and c around her her warrior childi and they como from her plains, fr beyond her mountains, and from shores of ber resounding seas, a pressing their knees in her s devoto themselves to Virginia hundred thousand Decie-and r forth to defend her borders, to s from tho sacrilegious touch tho \ hem of her royal robes, and to for Virginia. Alas! alas! there sits now-her limbs torn away bosom lacorated-her very wc stamped to barrenness by the bec her conqueror, nud her heart tur to stone, ?but still weeping bl< Thero sho sits, enthroned in mis at tho feet of the conqueror, Hs ing drearily to the wail of her ] and hollow-eyed daughters, gazing at her dead sons in t blood still untombed. Oh! bear sacred dust softly to tho motl feet, and bid her wake again to Tell her, in pious accents, tba1 long as the river flows where Jae! fought, as long as the moun stands where Ashby fell, as long as faltering tongues can syllable the names of. Stuart, and Hill, and tho Pogroms, and an hundred thousand others-Has long as Mount Vernon and Monticello look on her plains as long as blood and ashes can fertil? ize he? earth-as long as the incense of Truth and Bight goes up to a God of Truth, the seed of Virginia cannot perish. Young men of the University of Virginia, that God has appointed Jon the guardians and heirs of this eritage of gloryC-of misery-of hope. ' Keep it in your hearts, plant it deep, Water it here from the foun? tains of science and true philosophy; gather the dew-drops from every battle-field, and let it thus be warm? ed to new life by the sunshine of a century of glory undimmed. With the hand of a master, tho orator then traced the origin and history of the Constitution of the United States, and snowed that the South, in the great struggle, fought for the principles of that Constitu? tion, only adding to it a single line to recognizo the authority of th? God of nations. The cause of.thc South failed; and over laud and see is shouted, "Liberty may bo dead, but the Union is preserved. Glory glory, glory to Massachusetts anc her Hessian aud Milesian mercena ,riea." But though now in the dust Virginia and her principles cnn neve: die. "Thoregeneration of Virginii is the work God has appointed fo those who have met here to-day ii the names of Washington and Jeffer son." Ho cited historic examples fa show that, though obscured at time by dark clouds, liberty will at las como forth to flourish in other lauds or to whisper in our own land "Trust yor tho Lord." "Trust th Lord." Yes, my young country men, silence may brood over wast Palmyra and Memuon's mute dc main-the cry of nations from amii the cedars of Lebanon may bo hus! ed-the sacred land, pressed by dying Saviour's bleeding feet, may I a desert-cruel, bloody, remorselei tyrants may rule at Thermopylae, i Itichmond, and Fort Sumter-ht they cannot- crush that immorti hope which rises from the bloo< soaked earth of Virginia," It is false that American liberl originated in other latitudes than i Virginia, though it is not surprisir that this honor has been claimed f< New England, and would not su prise us if somo day some mend cious Bancroft should claim for tl same section the fame of Washin ton, Jefferson, Madison, Marshall, ovon Stonewall Jackson and Bobe E. Lee. Tho speaker drew an el quent and touching parallel botwo Virginia in 177G and 1861, and I tween Virginia at tho beginning tho late war and Virginia as she u< is, and made a thrilling appeal to t sonsof Virginia, to seek to restore L to her pristine glory. The sons of t sires who made Virginia what s was aro gathered within tho halls this noble University, to preparo i the great work beforo them-t work of rcdeomiug Virginia. ? things change, but nothing of Go making shall ever perish, and as tho physical, so it is iu the mon montai and political world. ? picture we behold is terrible to b( old and young. But tho young n have blight visions of bright di before them, and drawing inspir?t: from tho past glory of Virginia, tl may have, at least, bright dreams tho future. "Aud if, with the dra sword over us-the chains on i arms, the lash at our backs, and I torch at our chamber doors-wo d speak of a still nearer past-c people whoso name is now ?ra: from tho roll of nations, we mi say, iu God's bearing, that the cords of nations will bo hunted vain for a pcoplo who, in devotioi their rights, in stern resolve, in h valor, in calm endurance, in m submission to, and humblo reliu on, a God of Truth, in the veiy p: of patriotism, surpassed that pee who, five years ago, called thomee Confederates, lt. E. Lee, Stonei Jackson, and Leonidas Polk wero truo typo of tho nelaptation of tl people to their cause; and of tl Christian soldiers, two wero sho death leading their people to dc defeat and degradation, and other lives tho foremost living i of all the earth." Such was tho past of Virginia, from it ho drew hope for tho fut By beautiful illustrations drawn f aucieut and modern history, the quent speaker drew lessons of I from tho story of our heroic st gie. Ho pronounced a glowing eu on tho women of Virginio, "J Mary, tho motlier of Washingtoi tho last watcher besido tho coin the wounded at Appomattox," drew lessons of hope from 1 heroic toils. "They worked foi they clothed us, thoy fed us, prayed for us, and still now work, and weep, and pray, and groat reward will no that prayers go up to a God of Bight by the savor of women's tenn women's prayors, that God, in own good time, will give us del auce aud liberty." Ho trusted he had not erred, and that it vs not be taken amiss, that he had endeavored to recall "some of 1 monuments which aro abbve reaoh of ( loth ic spear or battle-i Drawiug a beautiful paralle tween Athens and Virginia, hi quent ly exhorted tho ?young men of Virginia to be true to their old mo? ther, and concluded na follows: "Commending yourselves to a God of Bight, rise up with determined souls and claim that which the noble Volcian demanded when, . clanking his chains along ; the Ko man ranks, he cried, 'Give us that which men deserve who think themselves worthy to be free'-and then-no ! my old eyes will not Uve to see it, but blessed be the God of my fothers, thon-even now here, standing on the sacred places of liberty, I do see, as in a holy vision, .ulong the yet un? traveled waste of; a-fast-coming fu? ture-I see the sacred image of regenerated Virginia, and cry aloud in the hearing .of all the nations of the earth, 'All hajl, our mother!' " It is impossible to deseriue the effect of this .speech. Cheer after cheer interrupted the noble old Roman, ns with clear ringing voice, and easy, graceful gesture, he gave utterance to words which thrilled every heart and brought tears to eyes unused to weep. The above is only a very meagre sketch of the speech, which held tho audieuco spell-bound for over two hours, but which so sparkled with gems in every sentence that even the bellos and beaux ceased their clatter and gave undivided at? tention. After tho deafening cheers had somowhat subsided, thoro were loud and continued calls for Hampton. Ho arose, and as he stood to await tho ceasing of the deafening cheers with which ho was greeted, wo could not but recall tho days when his raven locks could bo seen leading bravo legions to victory, i Ho thanked the young men from his heart for tho call they had mndo, and tho kindness with which they had greoted him. Their cheers re? minded him of those he used to hear on the battlo-fiold, telling where Virginia chivalry led the way to vic? tory. Ho came from tho noble and gallant State of South Carolina, which yielded to none in her devo? tion to the causo of right, though she now sits and weeps in sack-cloth and ashes. But he had listeued with pleasure equal to that of any present to tho glowing eulogy upon Virgi? nia; for, during four glorious years, he, too, was a citizen of Virginia, and claimed a part of her proud heritage. Ho doubted not that ho was called out becauso it was his proud privilege to have belonged to the "Army of Northern Virginia" the noblest army that ever marched on God's earth-and to havo led Vir? ginians as well os brave sons from other States. As commauder of the cavalry corps of the army of North? ern Virginia, ho had tried to do full justice to all, from whatever State they came, and to roward true merit wherover found, whether covered by tho braided coat of tho officer or the tattorod jacket of tho privato soldier. He saw before him somo of tho mon housed to lead, and hailed this as the greeting of the cavalry corps, army Northern Virginia, to their old com? mander. In tho name of that glo? rious old corps-in tho name of its fallen as well as its living heroes-ho returned most hearty thanks for this cordial greeting. Gen. Hampton was frequently in? terrupted by deafening cheers, which were long continued after ho took his seat. But when the band struck up "Dixie," tho audience knew no bounds to their enthusiasm, and made tho roof ring with cheer after cheer. Three cheers wero given for Gens. Preston and Hampton, and rendered with tho will of those who honored so highly tho men. AN ARMY OF DRUNKARDS.-In tho House, last Saturday, Mr. Pile re? marked that tho Secretary of War had told him that morning, that at tho rato at which officers were now dismissed from tho service for incom? petency, drunkenness and immo? rality, one-fourth of all tho officers ot the army would bo got rid of iu twelvo months. Frank Leslie, tho well-known New York publisher, is suing for a divorce from his wife, with whom he has not I lived for eight years, on tho ground of adultery.
