Commsaoetnent of the Citadel Acidemy. The tfttjlmonccmcut exercises of the Citadel Academy took place yeeterday, at Hibernian Ilall. T\ otv.ithstanda the weather the i Waa well filled, and every tiling went off to the entire satisfaction of the numerous and appreciative auditory. The procession was formed at the Citadel at t$n o'clock, and moved direct to the hall, where the exercises were Opened by prayer, and Cadet E. M. Law delivered the salutatory address, in place Of Cadet IV. II. Erwin, who was called away on account of family affliction. Mr. Law, notwithstanding the short notice of his appointment, acquitted himself in a highly creditable ruanhCr.' : An oration was then delivered by Edward CrOft, of Edgefield?subject:? "Addition?Reformation in Morals and Tastp," - ilis theme was broad and comprehensive, but ho handled it with skill and ability, describing Addison and his tiiuc with his Struggles for a pure literature. The second oration was delivered by J* D. Nance, of Newberry?subjeet:^.."Ilolland and Venice." The oratojr glauc?5d at the early and present political Condition of those countries, and npticed the warnings held out against the fatal corruptions of a wealthy and unprincipled aristocracy. lie was followed by J. F. Lanneau, of Charlestons-subject: "Grandeur and Greatness?thier distinctive features." His address was well conceived, and delivered with life and spirit, and many of the graces of oratory. II. S.Thompson, of Greenville, came next in order?subject: "In what doe's'true National Greatness consist?" This subject opened a wide held, and girvo full scope for the exercise of the young speaker's oratorical powers, and lie improved the occasion to much advantage, and fully canic up to the expectations of the audience. "State Pride," by Richard Yeadon Dwight, was treated with an ability and point which seemed to strike the fancy ot the audience. He gave promise of future distinction in oratory. E. M. Law, of Darlington, followed in a very good and discriminating address on ".Republicanism in Europe." The diplomas were then presented, *>y Professor Capers, to the following graduates: J. F. Lanneau, W. II. Erwin, G. W. Steednian, E. M. Law, E. Croft, II. S. Thompson, .T. D. Xance, G. A. Ross, J. A. Evans, L. F. D >zier, 16. M. Simms, R. Y. Dwight, A. McAllister, A. Y. Leo, and J. A. Finch.? After the presentation, Cadet J. F. Latmeau delivered the valedictory addresses, in a very feeling manner.? The' exercises of the day were closed by an address to the Society of Graduates, by Prof. P. F. Stevens. We were compelled to leave before he commenced his address, which precludes the possibility ofourgLing the subject of his discourse, or take that notice of it winch wo should like to have done.?Charleston Mercury. i mm ? - ?

They are unwilling that the memorable days of their supremacy should pass away and leave behind no trace of their glory.? They have, therefore, "got up" a certificate, splendidly designed and executed, copies of which all the members of the Committee may present, to themselves. The Sacramento Times thus decribcs it: .?

On the right, Demon of Fraud fleeing as Vigi* lance arouses Justice from sleep, when light is shone from tho "All-seeing .eye."

It will be in the fhturo a matter of Dride for all of them to cxliib^&nd to Jwiud down to their ciiuttren. The Commercial Convention. The people of the South have every inducement to cultivate friendly ami social relations, as conducive to the more imperative necessity of political fraternity. Their interests aro similar in the most important element of wealth ?labor?which is their main capital. Without it tho fabric of Southern society would be a wreck, and Southern existence intolerable. Every consideration of interest counsels the steady and persistent effort at union among ourselves, and the occasional assemblage of conventions for any purpose that will bring together tho citizens of the Southern States, is an important item of progress and of duty. rri.~ AT?.U 1... ? j. nvj i^unii uu9 ;v vunoiy oi 1 merest, vet they act together against the great interest of the South. It is our prerogative to have a community of interest, yet there is seldom any association! amongst the people of the Southern [ States, to advance any common concern. The spirit of agricultural improvement lias lately roused a better feeling aiul more, intercommunion amongst us. The approaching Commercial Convention at Savannah deserves our regard, and our citizens should send nelegates from every precinct. The objects of the Convention, which wc have already mentioned, are of a praiseworthy character, and whatever will unite the South more firmly should be carefully nurtured. Carolinian.

This will not bo the case, we presume, for any length of time, unless the present bad season continues. Hogs. Several droves of large, fine looking hogs have arrived in town during the past few days.

Caiuuaobs and Carki age-Making.?The Charleston Courier, of the 22*1 in&t., has the following items concerning the Carriages on exhibition nt tho above Fair. It will be seen that Greenville is a prominent competitor for tho premium offered for the above work : "Severn! valuable accessions were made yesterday to the carriage making department of tho exhibition. Clint lesion. Col it in bin and Greenville, are powerfully represent-) cd in this important branch of industry.? Mr. M. 11. Nathan exhibits an elegant Calnclic Coach, lined with crimson shade Cota* lean, the w hole workmanship of most exquisite style nnd finish, and he informs us wholly executed in all parts by his own workmen in this city. The wood work is by F. Benedict, iron work by Charles Frank, liimming by R. Smith, and painting by Mr. White. Mr. Nathan say he can build a carriage of this kind here, cheaper than 'it can he bought at any of the Northern factories? an item of great importance to om connoi*seurs and patrons of this art, as few of tliein can he persuaded that any thing of the kind can he bought cheaper without going North [ for it. "In the immediate neighborhood of this s another similar rate specimen of Inane nauufaelure, from the establishment of Messrs. Cower, I\>x ik Marklev. of Green S. (.3., the whole workmanship of which j is also claimed by Mr. Gower (the partner r?f the firm in attendance at tlie Fair) for tin: mechanics of his own beautiful and flourishing town. and lias been critically examined by the best judges from various quarters. These two master-pieces stand in generous and zealous competition for the honors of precedence, and will meanwhile form the centre of attraction for crowds of admiring amateurs. "Messrs. Brenan Carroll, of Columbia, have sent to the Fair a light side spring trotting Buggy of most delicate, chaste finish and proportions?a perfect little gom of its kind?combining cxtieine lightness with strength and durability. The carving, which is very beautiful, together with all other work appertaining to the carriage making business, was, wc understand, executed at the factory of these gentlemen in Columbia." Address by Hon- B- F. Perry. \Vn copy from the Charleston Standard the annexed notice of tho address delivered on Thursday evening last, at the Institute Hall, in Charleston, by tbo lion. B. F. PerryTlio Standard states that it is an imperfect sketch of the speech. The address began by a brief history of tho foundation of the Association, v. hMs tiitse vcan afro was not il.r?n?l.? i.f t- io.t , o* ?*>? *otl, the first meeting of the founders wns held at the house of Mr. Joseph Walker, nud was attended by not more than half a dozen gentlemen. 'l'he second meeting was held in 1840, and from the interest then manifested resulted in the action of the Stale Legislature in appropriating ?10,000 for erecting a suitable building for tho society. Following this, came the donation on tho part of the city government of the same sum, together with a loan of $26,000. Private individuals came up generously with contributions, nud the Society now has a place for its exhibitions, one of the finest hails in tho country. Hut this progress was not unimpeded. Similar projects involving no matter how great advantages, are always discouraged, and it was against stern opposition that the Association has gone on to its high rank Among like Societies in tire nation. Its success is but another illustration of tho value ot associations. Individual efforts are vain against long-rooted prejudices, and the ruder obstacles which some Junes meot them. It is for combination t( men of integrity, sagacity and cuterpris#! ' ' "**v to winUie oopfltfeoee and^#uppott of -the! The speaker proceeded to st>cnk of tb? value of labor, to encourage which, is the object of the South Carolina Institute.? This, he declared, should be employed to dilTerent ecus. A? au mUu^ruiluti at lists necessity, he instanced the case of England, who divided her labor in three parts, and was pro-cmlnent in each. Tbe true polic/ of a nation is to cultivate the earth, to manufacture its products, and-send them abroad, llcre is to be found the cause of South Carolina's lagging behind her nister States it the inarch of wealth and enterprise. She is agricultural. All her energies are dovotcd to the tillage of the earth?to a neglect of other avenues to wealth. But oue of the most important, if not the chief reason of her backwardness, is her dependence on England and on the North. For nil manufactured goods, many article* of comfort and convenience, we look to foreign countries. This dependence drains the coffers of the State, and holds her back, where she should not be. Emigration is another evil,* and its effects are aptly likened to those of the 44 absenteeism " of Ireland. The dignity of labor was earnestly nssert1 ed by the speaker, who condemned the popj ular prejudice against the mechanic and lai boring classes. South Carolina could fur-1 ' nish her own manufactures if she would try.I j This has been shown by the successful experiments at Granilevillo and Greenville, j where cotton mills and carriage factories are worked upon a large scale, and with , most sati.-factory result. Agricultural education was next noticed, j The speaker declared the necessity of estahI lishing agricultural schools, of introducing | that important branch among the other? 1 and in many cases?less valuable studies I of our schools. ... Mr. Buchanan's Policy. I The New Orleans Delta thus suggests i what it conceives the true policy of the incoming administration, and the duty of the South : 4'Mr. Buchanan, if lie would he wise, must not allow the Northern mind to linger over anti-slavery ism. He must discard top: ical applications, local irritants, 'spermacctti for inward bruises,' and such like. Throw them to the dogs; they are nothing worth, and worse than nothing, l^et him give the ; public mind something now to feed on, and j lot that something new combine the mate- J | rial growth, the nrtnal extension and in I crease of power of the Southern States, re- | storing that equilibrium which Mr. Calhoun | ! regarded as essential to the existence of the! | SimiiIi and the healthy continuance bf the J Union. The Northern people aie trnnscendental and predisposed to isms, while they I | know infinitely less of political philosophy, j political economy and social science, than | the Southern. It'Mr. Huchannn make his i government more inlro-active than exterior | ! in its policy ; if he irritate old sores without | ; curing them or boldly destroying them at J I once by outcry or excision, the North will j I become morbid and feverish, fanaticism will i j have a now growth, and we may expect it j to go on madly and desperately until it. : shall go out in blood. Ilut let him create 1 new issues, or give vitality and activity to 1 old ones which have been too long lost sight; J of, and let them l?e presented in so bold, I j and original, and even startling a manner, s that they will absorb all mere home matters. The inoro daring and brilliant the presentation, the better. Desperate diseases require desperate remedies. ' While we may hopo for a diversion in our favor through such *Ynoans, yet the | South should not forget the importance of | self-reliance, the wisdom of preparing for j the worst, and the sound policy of prcscnti 'n8 n pasture of resistance to aggression, ' whether practical, threatened or hypothetical. If, between this and 1800, we can impress 1 on the Northern mind two wholesome truths ?one, that wo can and will live independently, as a separate nationality, if necessary ; the other, a corollary to the first, that, though the North might succeed ia electing a sectional anti-slavery President, he could never rule over the South without fii-at n?.ln.!? .... .^VWV...K .V .W military subjection; if wo can do this, then there is still some hope for the Consti tut ion and the Federal Union. In one event tho resistance policy is national and patriotic in nvcrting the necessity of disunion; in another, it is wise in preparing for the necessity when it comes." A Qukuy.?To tho Editor of the New York Daily Times?Dear Sir : Will you be kind enough to give me your opinion on a question which nroso to-day between myself and some others, namely : If Buchanan should die before the Electoral College meets, would or would not Breckituidgo noccssurily be the next President ?" As there is something pending on your decision, an answer, at your earliest convenience, will oblige one of your subscribers. Yours, respectfully, J. O. The Electoral College is at perfect liberty to elect any person to bo President whom it I may prefer. Unless a majority of its mombers see fit, they need not voto for Mr. Buchanan at all. And in the event of his death, they would, of course, retain the same privilege, and cor.hl elect Mr. Breckinridge, /i i w ? ? - I voi. nemoni,or Stephen II. Branch, as they might prefer. They we chosen by the people to elect n President. What restricts their choice to the popular candidate is cus torn?not law.
