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.

of their "noble deeds." 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:
.? Tho design and execution is by
.Nahl, of this city, ami is quite equal,
if not superior, to the far-famed Fireman's
certificate; the former, however,
rbeing on stone; the latter on steel.?
On the .top is the emblem, or their
seal?" the All-seeing eye;" immediate*
ly below is Justice, with scales and
<9.word, asleep; Vigilance above, and
- over a ballot box ; motto on shield of
Vigilance?"never sleep." Fort Vigilance
is visible?the city being obscured
in fog; near Justice is a serpent
with an apple?Temptation. To
the left is the Demon of Sleep, scattering
poppy seed to Justice. On the
right, Demon of Fraud fleeing as Vigi*
lance arouses Justice from sleep, when
light is shone from tho "All-seeing
.eye." To the left is Hercules, emblem
o! physical poM'er, treading a serpent
under his feet; opposite is the emblem
of moral power, with pen in hand standing
by the press and books. On a
scroll held by Ilerculcs, the mottoes
we?"He just, and fear not;" "fiat
jnscitia ruat coeliun "self-preservation
is the tlrst law of nature." On
the sides arc emblems of tbo different
Bcience, arts, mechanics, fruits, agriculture,
etc; commerce, reposing on an
.y anchor; music and j?oetry. On the
top corner# are a batalliort of artillery 1

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.

Ho! for Salt River.
The Richmond Whig announced the
contemplated departure of the Fillmore
men ot that city, on a voyage up
the far-famed Salt River, in the following
strain :
"The gallant and indomitable "Fill-1

of an interesting voyage towards

j Driven to desperation, lie retired to his room,
and in the maddened plirenzy of the moment
committed the rash net of self-destruction,
by cutting the artery of one of his

I when these other animals lived whose re-1
I mains were found at such depths, his remains
would also have been found there; for his

consequently no loss likely to resist destruction.

any work in the printing line, that it can be
done in our office with nkatxbss and orsi'Atcii.
All woik promptly delivered.
Rain, &c.
Much rain has fallen within the past week.
The roads are in rather a bad condition ;
the streams, however, nre but little swollen.
In consequence of the rain, and the bad
state of the roads, provisions, and grain of
all kinds, have risen in value, and meet with
ready sale. 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. We have not. inquired the prices

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

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.!?

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. The Constitution knows no
election of President by the people?but only
by the Electors chosen by the people.
Official Votb of Louisiana and Georgia,
Sta,?Official returns from all the Parishes
in Louisiana but one, give Buchanan
two thousand majority.
Buchanan bus fourteen thousand three
hundred and eighty-seven majority in Georgia.

Philadelphia, Nov. 18th, 1850.
Dear Sir?My home is in Auburn, in

city of New York, two days ago, on my way 1
towards Washington, I found a letter from ]
