???????mm? From the Anderson OflMU*. A Letter from Hon. James L. Ott. Anderson C. H., Giktiinrh?I here read and carefully considered your appeal to roe io become a candidate for the Legislature in tliis District. Tbe steadfast and cordial' support you gare me throughout my public career of sixteen years, renders it painful to me to decline any position which you desire me to occupy, aa# fat private considerations -of too great a weight to be disregarded, impel me reluctantly to decline your call. 1 am, like yourselves, deeply impressed with the critical aspect of our federal affairs, and Believe vre are drifting rapidly upon revolution. My hope, na you know, for year* pant for the parserration of the rights of the South in the Union, has been upon the Democratic party. So long as it was united harmonious and triumphant, our rights and Institutions were safe. That great party that has, in time* gone by, won so many brilliant victories over federalism, abolitionism, and consolidation, and established so many sound and conservative principles, ie now disunited, divided and broken up. Its disruption extinguishes ray ardently cherished hjfe of preserving not only our rights, but the Union itself. It is idle to abate or review the causes that led to its disruption. Let it suffice hero for me to say, that in my o, inion, the secession of the Southern delegates from tho Charleston Convention whs unwise and impolitic. It was manifest, there, to the most casual observer, that Judge Dpuglas, who was so justly obnoxious to the South, could not receive the nomination in a A.tl * - iuii convention., ami it was equally certain that Mr. Breckinridge would have been the nominee, if the Southern dele cations had not abandoned their posts. If Mr. Breekiniidgc had been the nominee at Charleston, his election would have been a "certainty, lie is now the nomineo of only one wing of tho party, the other wing having nominated Douglas?and whilst I shall give to Breckinridge and Lane, the nominees of the Baltimore Convention?gentlemen ?.f tried patriotism and sound principles, a hearty and cordinl support, I see no prospect of their electiou either bv the people or otherwise. Lincoln and ITnmlin. tho Black Bopublican nominees, will be elected in November next, and the South must then decide the great question whether they will submit to the domination of Black Republican rule?the fundamental principle of their organization "being an open, undisguised, ard declared war upon our social institutions. I believe thai the honor and safety of the South, in that contingencv, will require the prompt /ceession of the slavcbolding States from the Union, and failing then to obtain bom the fiee States additional and higher guarantees for the protect ion of our rights and property, that vhe 6eceding States should proceed to establish a new government. But whilst I think siffch would be the imperative duty of the South, I ihould emphatically leprobatc and repudiate ?ny scheme having for its object the separate secession of South Carolina ; if Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi alone?giving us a portion of the Atl?ntic nod Gulf coasts, would unite with this State in a coin ttion secession upon the election of a Black Republican, I would give my assent to the policy. ? I would indulge in no language of crimination or denunciation of our brethren in tho South, who are impelled ' y a sense of patriotic duty to suppoit Douglas and Johnson. I believe they are misjudging the most efficient means of preserving the rights and interests of the South in sustaining these gentlemen ; but I concede to them a palrioti in as catholic as I claim for myself, and I feel well a-snred that when the great sectional issue between the North and South is to bo decided an issue which words alone will not settle, that the South will have need for the services of -111 1 .1 ?11 1 *1 Hit ner sons, nnu mai iirecKinritige men i and Douglas men will only emulate each other in their gallant devotion to her honor and interests. Thanking you, gentlemen, for your kind consideration, and reiterating my 1 egret that I cannot respond affirmatively to your call, I subscribe myself, most truly your fiiend and fellow-citijwn, JAMES L. ORR. To John Martin, and others. BlUXO t*I? Yol'R I.OOSE ClIANOK.

The members for the Legislature in this District, have hll, we believe, taken the stump, and arc busily engaged in electioneering. We have heard of no division among them on political questions, the only difference of opinion being on questions of State policy. Hditorial Visit.

II. A. Duncan. The Compositions of the young ladiea of the Graduating Class were read by Prof. J. P. Borca, in the following order: The True Gentleman?Miss M. M. Maaaic*. The true gentleman ia somewhat difficult to define, satisfactorily to all mindfe. lie ia variously defined. In this composition Christianity was considered an Important element., if nut lu? l?>d;ng one, in tho fcrroa Mod of such a character. Certainly a very high standard by which to estimate him. The Dead Hietorian ?Mis* M. E. Moonkt : A familiarity with the lives and characters of the deceased historians of our own and ether eonntries, was amply manifest in this composition. CVty Life and Country Life?Mist Lot'. McCullouoh : The comparative advantages and enjoyments of a life in the city and a life in the country, were very well considered. Each has its peculiar pleasures and attractionsThe country village i?, perhaps, a medium between the two, combining, to a considerable extent, ninny of the advantages of both.. Poteer of Auociation?Mies Jenmk M. Carbox : The power of association was discussed anl proven l>y appropriate illustration. No mind but has its associations?no heart but feels their effect* The aged man reverts in memory to his early years, and what associations crowd his mindl The patriot associates with the name of his country nil that is honorable and glorious, and is ready tq resent indignity to her, at the risk of his life Such i^t tho power of association. The Three Profrutiont?Wise M. M. Eari.k: The lawyer, the physician and tho divine. These honorable professions were nicely defended from the odium which some would cast upon them because of the number of ambitious hut unnnalificd votintr men who lmvc crowds them. The dignity, not of I lie professions themselves, but of those who, devoid of ability, had assumed to ndorn them, had been lowered. Talent?not ambition?should govern in the choice of a profession. ' 1 R'nnance and Reality?Miss X. A. T.\i.nEnr: Few minds but love the ideal?the roinnn- ' tie?and it is easy to acquire a taste for nov- 1 sl-reading. The objection to works of fic- '1 ,ion were, that they were unreal?not into ? to life. Written to excite the mind and cn- * jagc the feelings, and having no limit, im- s agination is stretched to its fullest extent, sad soars above the realities of life. The < simple narrative of life as others have found ? it?real, living characters?ninv not so fas- < eirnte and charm us, yet we feel its truth, and may draw from it a better moral than from the moat perfect ideal character that ; imagination can paint. Pleoturc* of Hope?Miss I,. A. Austin: The pleasures of hope 1 A happy theme, indeed, for the mind of the maiden. Hope has been whispering, long and oft, words of encouragement into the willing ear, and inspiring the heart anew with courage to meet the trials of life. The pleasures of hope were handsomely depicted in this composition, end we would be permitted to exprcsa the hope that the pleasure which the fair writer realizes from her hopes, may never diminish. Everybody Ha* a Mixtion?Miss S. F. IIokf. : A work for every one?some mission to fulfill, in the grout arena of life ! We cannot ba idle, but must labor with ot.v might. This subject was considered and discussed in a fine manner. The ideas were well advanced, fioiu which sound conclusions ware A Jitliut Crtar?Miss F. L. CaorT : This character was considered a.* combining, in eminent degree, two qualification* rarely found in the same perron, vis: The warrior nnd the historian. As n genera), his achievements upon the battle field were unsurpassed. A historical research was displayed in (his composition. , Female Injhtence?Miss X. W. Stokes: The influence of woman, in her various < relations in life, as daughter, sister, friend, wife nnd mother, was considered in a style peeullarly pleasing. Comprehending the theme in all ita bearings, the importance of giving a proper direction to the influ ence which the fair sex do and may exert over the minds and hearts of the sterner sex, was enforced with good and sound reasoning. An admirable composition. Foreign Travel?Mtss A. F. IU'rmiam: The idea commonly prevalent, that nn European tour is, as a matter of course, interesting and highly gratifying to every one, was disparaged. To the mind well cultivated and stored with classic lore, and familiar with the history and antiquities of that country, it might be; hot to the uneducated mind, it could not he. The tine collections and sneeimens of art nnd stntunrv which lire there to be found, require a finely cultivated taste to properly appreciate them. The eoniposition*of Mis* J. SI. Alkxam>rr and Mis* SI. K. Hicm>kk*on, two other mem hers of the Graduating Class, were not in the programme, and their reading was omitted. " Wo thought the compositions all well written and quite creditable to their fair authors. After they had been rend, the Diplomas to the Graduating Class were presented by Prof. C. R. Trim, President jtro tern, of the College, after which he made some remarks appropriate to the time and ocoasion.
