It is made my duty, under these resolutions, to makei this fyct knownto you, coupled with "an earnest appeal'toy on to* attend, on tha? oceasion. ' t " ' J \ < The'meeting here, coming off so soon after the meeting in Charleston, renders it necessary that there should b^^Jarge representation of the Grand and SuborflJPKe Divisions in attendance. The late jmeeting of the National Division - has attracted the popular mind and awakened much interest upon the subject oflemperance? the moral and intellectual^ power assembled on that occasion, made itself felt, not alone in the city of Charleston, but throughout the State. It devolves upon us, at our meetting in July, to sustain and fasten the impressions then niaoe. Circumstances are in our favor and we.may anticipate the most gantifying results, if we will only make a strong pull and a pull (ill together. As very much' therefore, depends upon the character of the meeting here, let every'Son of Temperance in the Stato. take this matter into serious consideration, and - determine what Lis duty is-under the circumstances. - ' ^ Ahdorson Division will do all that she can to render the-meeting in July an occasion of more than ordinary interest. It is her purpose to arrange such a demonstration as will reflect credit upon herself and upon .the 'order; ahd convince the uninitiated that there is a reality in the cause we advocate. She must depend however, 'in this matter upon the hearty co-operation of the order throughout the State. "I invite you therefore in behalf of this Division to show by your , attendance in our eora ?unity, that the cause?which wo declare to be the cause of humanity?is indeed the cause dear to the virtuous, talented and distinguished men in every District of the State. Yours, in the triple ties of Love Purity an^ Fidelity. * S. M. WILKES, WortKy Patriarch Tlic Hero of Sail Jacinto. It would seem, from what is now transpiring in Texas, that the history of the battle of San Jacinto is yet to be written. The materials are getting to be very abundant, for which we are indebted to Gen. Sam Houston more, it appears from the facts which are coming out than Texas was indebted to him for the victory itself. In a late speech made on the anniversary of the , battle he gave a version of the history of its incidents and his own connection with them, which has brought out a host of indignant com. raentators, who not only deny the truth of his narrative, but accuse him of cowardice and incapacity. The first to reply was David R. Burnett; formerly President of Texas and by the orri V.-D/1 voqfarrlav wa Viava t.fffl maun nmvu % v? " w other addresses?one by Gen. Sidney Shermau, and one by Gen. Mini beau B. Lamar, also once President of Texas. These gentlemen were officers during the battle of San Jacinto and they concur with Burnett in declaring Gen. Houston's narrative false throughout, and in affirming that the battle was fought against the wishes and judgment of Houston, who is accused, moreover, of behaving with personal cowardice as well as showing uttor incapacity as * general. Gen. Sherman says that whenever n full narrative of the battle ?given truthfully to the world, "Gen. Houston's mushroom fame will rapidly decompose and sink into putrescence, with the mass of /^Va/vL/va/)o nnon m?KioK i f t?Acfc* nnrl fJnn I .n UUO^UWVJO UIM/U nuiVM IV ivvvvf ivuvt - v>vu* ?? mar says, "My own opinion is that ho himself (Houston) was the only coward, on that field. I can name no other and him I know as one." 'u; More commentary, from other officers on the satue field is said to be forthcoming. We do not hear of any which sustains the egotism of Houston, so that if there is a combination against hitn it is composed of all, or nearly all, of those who have a right to know ahything on the subject. The.hiatory of the battle is evidently about to be written at last and the apearances are that it will read very differently from the tradition which has been received hitherto as current truth, against the occasional rcraonsl ranees of parties who'have denied to the so call ei hero et the day the Honors upon wnicn ne Has flourished so widely.?iV. 0.

The Bible says, "Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest tbou also be like unto him." " Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit." - Hereiaa paradox, apparently, and yet, we appre houd, a closo examination and careful observance of these at their proper time will f^ofotbe wisdom of each proverb. There are times when a certain class must be answered in n way that will teach them the lesson they ought to know, and there are other times upon a condescension to notice certain characters would cive undue imDortanco to their folly, and be productive of no good. We bare a case or two in our minds eye at present of this latter class, and, although strongly tempted to give our readers a specimen of ignorance and impudence, we shall reserve it for awhile longer, until a fitter occasion shall present itself. We have never feared to expose ignorance, im pudence or falsehood, and wheu occasion requires, shall do so, and take all the responsibility and ask no help. Wofford College Commencement. The Spartanburg Express informs us that the exercises of the first Commencement of the Wofford Colinrra tftnir nionnnn Wpdnpsdsv the 27tlr?Tune. "and as "*bw r?- ?- / there were uo students belonging to the higher classes the exercises were confined to the delivery of the Inaugural Addresses of the President, Dr. W. M. Wightman and Professors DuncaD and Carlisle. "The addresses, dwelling principally upon the advantages of their respective departments and the proper manner in which they should be pursued, we regard as the best blending together ef the real and ideal?of the practical and scientific?we remember ever to have heard, and which taken as an earnest of the qualifications of the authors augur well for their usefulness. "We cannot close this hasty article without expressing our admiration of the generous rivalry, Mr. Carlisle, as Professor of Woflord College, entertains towards other Institutions of learning, as clearly shown in the tribute he paid to the merit of the South Carolij na College. His remarks with referenco to this Insti tution disclose opinions iu striking and beautiful cor. trast to the narrow-mindedness which does not comprehend the true relations of tho educational Institutions of our country." t Mr. Carlisle may well bo proud of his Alma-MaUr/ for hor honors were conferred upon him, and he lb turn, will honor her. Few men have ever graduated in the South Carolina College, with stronger claira^ to , distinction, than James H. Carlisle. i < r General Sam Houstcn. | Why is it that the character of the old hero of San Jacinto has just been truly discovered, and the clmrga. ( of cowardice as well as " utter incapability as a general" but recently proclaimed to the world? An extract from tho New Orleans Picayune shows old Sam up in a different light from anything that we have oflA" koor/1 Y\afr\ra TVn nrocnmA it. mar hf* fixnlaill* OW? Wi Ul V4 WV4VI V. M V ? J ? jj ed upon the ground that he is spoken of in connection with the noxl Presidential canvass, for there are always those to be found who are ready.to pick a man to pieces whenever he becomes a candidate, and the announcement is regarded as the signal for the dis-clcwuro of every fault of which one may have been guilty, even from his cradle. We despise this spirit in our elections. These remarks are intended as abstract propositions, and we wish thorn applied to elections genorally. We have no objection to the faults and bad parts of a man's character being known, but we tliiuk the excesses to whi^t his opponents go, are often-truly despicable. We do not admire nor nave we over aamirea general Houston's character, and, with deferential regard to the opinions of some, whom wo highly respect and esteem, we think him entirely unfit for the exalted place once occupied by a "Washington, Jefferson Jc. What a letting down my countrymen, when such men take the scats once filled by those men whose names and memories are consecrated to immortality. Wo have no objection to General Houston wearing laurels if they belong to him, and yet, he ought never have been allowed to reach his present position, iftho things now charged against him be true. There is 1 something we cannot understand in those proceedings ?Why his character in that particular has nover before been assailed, with the vehemence that it now is at- ' tacked. General Houston is n member of the Baptist Church, and vory possibly.this may beone reason wby Ill8 personal courage is questioned at this lato day.? We are not his partisan, nor apologist,-' but yet we do.:' like to seo-every man fairly treated.

Kennedy, Esq., made an interesting and im pressive address which was peculiarly appropriate to the occasion, and was followed in a very short address by W. U. R. Workman, Esq., who also favored us with a few well-time^ and suitable remarks upon the duties of Sunday School Teachers. The closing ode was sung as follows: HYMN III.

Mr. Davis, partook with readiness and gratification of the good things then and there provided by the kind mothers aud friends of the scholars. The occasion was enlivened at proper intervals by tho "coucord of sweet sounds," produced by the Camden Band. After a sufficient time was allowed for the consideration of matters upon the tables, the company was regularly dismissed with the benediction by Rev. Jas. Stacy. It is proper we should add, that this celebration was gotten up and successfully carried through by the energy and perseverance of "W. Thurlow Caston Esq., the excellent and zealous Superintendent of the Moth odist Sabbath School. Id tfle afternoon, the Camden Light lafantay, commanded by Captain Thos. J. Ancrum, marched to the Presbyterian Church, where, after odes were sung by a special choir for the occasion, and prayer by Rev# 3. H. Hay, Col. J. B. Ktrshaw delivered a chaste and elegant oration abounding in capital thoughts, and sentiments suited to the times and the occasion. The following is one of the odes written for this apepial occasion and sung by the choir: Our glorious stripes and stars To every breeze we fling, And. proudly pointing to the past, Look upward while we sing. Our Washington looks down * From skies serene and clear? His voice, let listening States around In solemn silence hear? Sons of New England's dead! Your fathers round me stood, What time for dearest rights we struck, And stemmed th' invading flood?

Locked hearts and arms mast guard Each constituted right; That not one radiant orb go out In dark disunion's night?

Southern Mail Route.?An important change has recently been made in the Southern mail route between Mobile and Montgomery, and one that will be decidedly advantageous to the travelling public. The contractors for that portion of the route have purchased two steamers. the S.

The mail and passengers now leave Mobile at 11 o'cloch in the morning and arrive at Clai'oorn next morning about daylight. They then take the stAges, which are said to be of the best description, and arrive in Montgomery, the same evening. Stopping in Montgomery that night, passengers, if so disposed, can leave by railroad for the North next morning at 6 o'clock. By this arrangement, it will be observed, there is but a short portion of the route to be travelled by stage, and even that is in the day-time.?lb. o ?

The political news per America are of the greatest interest: The Allies have made an unsuccessful attempt to storm Sebastopol, and their loss is estimated at four thousand men, but the report is believed to be exaggerated. The following are the only official notifications of the event: u Lord Panmure regrets to have to announce that he has received information that the English troops attacked the Redan, and the French the Malakoff Towers at daylight on the morn ing of the 18th without the success which has hitherto attended our efforts. Both the French and ourselves have suffered considerably. The Moniteur announces that the government has received two despatches from Gen. Pelissier, the first dated the 17th informs of operations concerted between the General and his Allies, aud that the Turks and Chasseurs made a reconnoisance towards Aitodar, G.en. Bosquet occupying the Tchernaya. The next day at daybreak the French and English were to attack the Malakoff Tower. The second HUnatrh. dated the 18th. announces that the attack had failed, and that, although the troops had showed the greatest ardor, and gained n footing in the MalakofF Tower, Gen. Pelissier was obliged to order their retirement into the parallel. This was effected with order, and without molestation by the. enemy. Private accounts published in the London Standard says the loss of the British officers in killed and wounded amounts to seventy. Among the killed are. General Sir J; Campbell, Col. Yea, and Col. Shadfortb. From the ,bbsti-* stinacy and courago with which the combat was maintained by the British at the Redan, and the necessity of eventually retiring from the attack, the alaughter on all sides has been im mense, and if the information is correct the loss in killed und wounded of the British alone amounts to very little short of .4,000. ' The greatest portion of the loss was experienced in a raviue. where a powerful and unexpected battery was opened on the troops* There it reason to fear that the loss has been very great, but Lord Palm'ereton said last night no additional information bad arrived.
