Tho following Monday, tho Dialectic
Society held their final celebration. All
tho speechea were BO very appropriate
that it is bard to say .that one was better
than another. However, we may bo par?
doned for mentioning that of Mr. B. P.
W. Morris, of Virginia, as a model. On
the subjoot "What Next?" he was more
than usually interesting. Mr. J. ?.
Ware, of Alabama, was the happy reci?
pient of the debater's medal. On Tues?
day, tho 4th, at an carly hour, a large
and select audience had assembled in the
Presbyterian Church. At ll A. M. pre?
cisely, the corps, consisting of 840 men,
marched up. Judging from the perfect-1
ly regular atop and well closed ranks one |
would haye supposed that they had
been through half a dozen campaigns.
After prayer,, by the Ber. John William
Jones, tho orator, Mr. M. JJ. Spotswood,
of Virginia, was gracefully Introduced
by Mr. Alex. Hamilton, of North Caro?
lina. . Tba "Pow/err of . Thought" was
handled by him in a most masterly man?
ner, nml well did ho fulfil the request of
ono of ins comrades to say something
for them to think of afterwards. From
tho abo war of boqueta which he received,
w'e are quito certain that ho won tho ad?
miration of nil tho ladies. After a stir?
ring strain from tho band, Mr. J. P.
Arthur, of Columbia, 8. C., was pre?
sented as the valedictorian of the gradu?
ating class, ' Opening his specah with a
delicatecompliment to Qen. G. W. Cna?
lia Lee,- formerly their professor, he went
on in tho most pa tho tic stylo. His fare?
well to h?B' comrades, with whom he had
marched shoulder to. shoulder and.side
by aide for four long years, was particu?
larly .touching. His speech reflects
honor upon himself as well as upon his
native Btatft- -\ '
Diplomas wore- then awarded to the
graduating class, consisting of forty-six
members. We -were happy to see our
young friend and fellow-Stateman, Mr.
M. A. Wilson, of .Abbeville, S. C., bear
off the first honors of his olass. We
learn that bebas stood at tho bead of
his class for fdor successive "years, and
three out of the four did not get a single
demerit. Among other South Carolini?
ans was Mr. J. S. Legare, of Charleston.
We understand that all of them expeet
to return homo at once; and after laying
their well-earned laurola upon the altar
of their beloved old Palmetto State, to
devote their services to her support now
in the hour of ber humiliation. Oof.
Ed. Pendleton,.membor of the Virginia
Senate, as well as of the Board of Visit?
ors; delivered the address to the gradu?
ating olass. His beautifully written and
forcibly delivered speoch jvas. full, of
sound advice. Col. John M. Patton, of
Amelia1 Conn ty, then addressed the BO
?ijty of Altimni. Wo regret that we
haven't space for some extracts from bia
Admirable speech.
' At 7 P. M., tbore was a brilliant dis?
play of lire-works on .tho parado grouud.
The uumber of spectators was said'to be
larger than nuy ever seen in Lexington
since the first circus after tho war.
Among so many other beautiful things,
we noticed the names of our model
.'Leo" and our hero "Jackson," written
in {otters of light, beneath the flag which
bcd so often waved over their victorious
heads. Afterwards, appeared the name
of our own Maury, the great philosopher
of tho soa, to whom the grand old ocean
whispered with pleasure so many of ber
hitherto unrevealed secrets.
The fire-works being over, all the
young folks, and many of tho old ones,
too, adjourned to the 'ball-room, which
waa decoratdd in tho most tasteful man?
ner. Very soon,.th.o worshippers of the
Torpsiobprean muse were engaged in

PASS HUI AIIOUND.-Tho Savannah
News nays: "Some few dajB ago, a luau
named George St. Cluir. formerly pro?
perty man of the Davenport Erothcra,
I arrived in this city, announcing himself
j as the agent of McAllister, who he stated
would visit the city and givo a series of
his unique performances. St. Clair put
up at Dan. Mcdonnell's and engaged
rooms and board for the oompany, which
j he repr?sont'?d uumbcrod devon persons.
Ho also made an engagement for the
theatre with Wir.' Lu f bur row, and re?
mained iu tho city nbout a week, had his
posters contracted .for, borrowed some
j small chango from hts landlord, Mr.
MoO., bought a watch and chain and
i ring from Mr. Grosclaudo on time, and
I took bis departure for Charleston, whero
ho pursued a like conrBO, disappearing
without paying his hotel or other bills.
Facta have come to light showing him to
be a regular swindler, as no such com?
pany ns be represented himself the agent
of is now traveling or expects to visit
Savannah.
"George St. Clair is an EngliBlimuu,
about twenty years of age, smooth faced,
five feet six inches high, aud Hpeaks with
the broad English accent. We give this
description, of this cheat, that parties
may be on their guard and not be vic?
timized as were parties here und id
Charleston."
St. Clair performed the same tricks in
Augusta, last week, and victimized his
landlord and other parties to a consider-,
able extent. Such a character should be
taken up and mit in limbo to proveut
further mischief, and ample 'punishment
meted out to him for his past swindling.
At the head of tho editorial columns
of tho Selma (Ala.) Times and Messenger
of Sunday morning appears au obituary
of Wm. Earley, a negro, who has been
for many years the body servant of the
editor of that paper, aud as such made
with him the campaigns of tho Confede?
rate army of the Tennessee, in 1864 and
18G5. We quote: "He was faithful asa
slave, and protected tho property of his
owner more than once during the Yan?
kee invasion of Middle Georgia. Ho
was kind-hoarted and liberal, and stood
square up to whito people, voting the
Democratic ticket since his enfranchise?
ment. Ho will be remembered by tho
Registration Committee during the elec?
tion last fall, as tho negro who walked
np to Gen. Shelby, in whoso brigade ho
had seen some service, and told him
that he wanted to register. After regis?
tering, ho said' that bo wanted them to
tell him if ho had the right ticket, show?
ing them a Democratic ticket. General
Shelby replied to him that it WAS the
right ticket if be wanted to vote for tho
Democracy. Ho said that he did. About
that time a dozen or so fifteenth amend?
ments got around him to change his
vote, when ho replied, 'Yon are all a set
of fools. It is ns mach as I can do to
livo here with tho white folks voting,
and if yon uegroes had tho reins, I know
that I would have to leave.' Wo have
spout with him in the army many a
night, and ho has often 'ministered" to
our comfort on tho march and in the
camp. Peaoo to his ashes. He was a
faithful slave." . '
