Try it : " The weather should he dry and warm and the fruit perfectly ripe ; alike it thin ?md spread on boards, or rnnta made of eoarse white oak split*. If apread carefully, each piece aepe rately, it will he dry enough U pat in becketi or bags in the evening; bet It will be neeea aary to put them out in the aun ocoaafonally ' to prevent moulding, or woraa getting in.? t"tone fruita will take longer to dry. It ia al WMyW best to peel the fruit at night, ao aa t pat it oat early in. the morning. A good' ham can peel a buahelj at night with eaae.

This no doubt detracted from the expected interest, of tho occasion, as Mr. is avid to be n gentleman of excellent attainments.? Upon the whole, however, the affair was * most pleasing and profitable one, The degree of A. B. Wss conferred on the grndnatea. On Wednesday evening, the Comtnenrmtnt Exercises of Furman University were continued in the Court House. A very large and packed assembly of ladies and gentleman were present. The aroa of the Bar was covered so as to form a platform, which wns occupied by the graduating Students, the Faculty, and a number of the Trustees. A band of excellent musicians was stationed in tho rear. After prayer, by ltcv. Jno. A. Bkoaih.'s, D. I)., Ocn W. K. Easley delivered tbe annual oration before the Societies of the University. The speaker displayed, as usual, his fino oratorical abilities in an address of great intellectual force and eloquence, which was interrupted by hearty applause. The presentation of diplomas to tho graduate, Messrs. J. II. Daroan, M. Dozikr and L. P. Linx, of tho Adulplian Society, was made by tho Vice-President, Mr. A. W.

Tha graduate responded in sensible and appropriate terms. mo young gentlemen all elicited the applauding cheers of the intelligent audience upon their performances. We are rejoiced to see in these renewals o' Collegiate exorcises throughout our land, some' at least, of the noblest fruits of peace. The Baptist State Convention. This body met at Anderson, on Friday last, and adjourned on Tuesday, about IS. The attendance of delegates was respectable in nam. hers, and embraced many of the best ministers of the denomination. The Rev. b. T. Wink, lbr, was elocted President. Rev. J. 0. B. , Daroaw, D. D., Vico-Prcsident, B. Marly, Jr., Secretary, and C. II. Juneoa, Treasurer. The business of the'Convention was important and interesting. The various sermons ! were worthy of special notice, but having re1 turned too late to find space in ovr columns for an extended account, we necessarily omit it, at least for this week. , The citizens of Anderson evinced toward the delegates and visitors of the Convention, ' the most libei al and genuine hospitality, and i seemed to take great pleasure iu entertaining I them in the moat handsome manner, which , they well know how to do. Anderson son" tains a fine population, exnbining the good qualities of the substantial families and peo. pie of the uptconntrv. with a considerable , mixture of tb? lower country -element. We m inre that the delegate* have carried away with Ikta the moat pleasant reeolleotlona ol 'he generous kindness of tk* Anderson people.

The subject aaiMUMad, til " Tbo Flora of tbo Cool Period." Tbo beaoty and I r. toll Igenee of o*r Town woro welt repraaooted, and tbo largo and brilliant audieooo woro expeettng, no doubt, to boor tbo Lecturer deeooot mpon tbo vaot coal-fields, and tbo inexhaoatlblo mineral wealth of oar " groat oooatry." Tbo Prolbaaor, however, waa on a different traok. Coal, waa waa not hta autyeot bet tbo Ancient Mont. The Lecturer began by showing tbe dependence of geology, the latest of the pbys* leal sciences, upon her older sisters, mechanics, chemistry, botany and ioology, and as the study of these subjects forms a neeeesary preparation for the study of geology, so historically they mart hare been carried to a high degree of developement, before the science of geology bees me possible. This truth was illustrated by the dependence of astronomy upon mathematics and terrestrial physics. The Lecturer proceeded to giro an outline of Systematic and Structural Botany. The vegetable kingdom was divided into two groat olasses?Phanerogams or Plowering Plants, and Cryptogams or Ploworioss Plants. Tbe Flowering Plants were again divided into two subolaeses?Dicotyledonous, (having two toed leaves,) and Monoootyledonous, (having one seed leaf.) The former were stated to bo outside growers, Kxogeas, with reticulated leaves; tbe latter, Kndogcns, or inside growers, with parallel veined leaves. The Cryptogams were in like manner subdivided, and all the various structures and growths illustrated by large and beautiful diagrams oh canvass. The various tissues (cellular, vascular and fibrous,) were described, and the manner of growth and developewient of the plant explained, and the way in which the entire structure of the plspta of the ancient flora determined fUom any of Its parts. The Flora of the Coal Period was stated to consist of endogenous and oryptogamous vlant*, very unlike any living species, yet belonging to the same g.-eat classes and subclasses. Beautiful diagrams wera exhibited of the diohotomons lepidodroudroo, the spotted slgillarla, the gigantic tree fern, the low spreading eycan, the reed-like calamitos, Ac., Ac. The rank which these various orders of plants bold In tbo scale of developemont was also pointed out. This portion of the lecture, whloh was introductory to what followed, abounded in technicalities, and was, perhaps, a little wearisome to those unacquainted with the subject. Wo were, however, amply repaid, l>y wbat followed In the skillful and truly scientific unfolding of the great laws of devo'opinent, in the ancient flora and fauna Oj the earth. As no notes were taken, We can. not give even a summary of those lews, and the arguments by which they were illue trnted iod enforced. The process of " defferentiation " of or* gtni in th? annual coonomy, a* we proceeded from the low-? to the higher order* ; show, ing how " by a division of labor " among the eeveral organs, each beeotnea special ixed and adapted to execute Its own specific functions, was explained In a manner at once lucid, and very interesting. Tbe tettimony of geology was shown to be alto* gether opposed to the Lamarkian hypothesis of successive developemcnt. This wa, happily illustrated from sociology. The eeiliest form of society ia a homogeneous aggregation of individuals, all having like powers and like fune'.iona. Every man is warrior, huutsman, fisherman, tool-maker, builder, weaver, tailor, tanner, shoe-maker, Ac. Very early, however, the prooess of evolution and defferentiation begina. Some one mnkea a better tool than has been be* fore used, and all desire to reap tha benefit of hia skill. They are ready to exchange skint or mats, qr other article for this superior implement, Thus a diffeiontiation of functions, a division of labor, begins* and each step In the evolution and devel' opment of the social organism glvea rise to a further differentiation, and each indivld ual becomes an essential part of the body politic ; so the lowest order of animals Is %n aggregation of homogeneous individuals, each part having an independent life, and thn^iifferent functions of digestion, respiration, Ac., are performed l>y a single organ. Aa we ascend in the eoale. the different functions are all performed by different organs. The testimony of geology wo* shown to he altogether opposed to the Lemerkien hypothesis of development end conclusively to establish the law, that all the minor eye tenia of life are ha monioua parte of one all ' comprehending plan of organisation ; that there are connecting inks between the different ordera of animals, hot no progresrivs developement of one from the other. Thi lecturer referred to the android fiabce at connecting lhike between fiaheaand reptiles, combining in their structure, the character! of froga, crocodiles, Itcarde and fishes. Ib also described a fossil bird, of recent disco# ' ery, having numerous caudal vertabrt? fib stead of the " Parson's none,") and formiat a link, uniting birds with mammals Thee . were prop/Mia tppea or patterns of anlmdi which were afterwards to appear.

The mixed Convention In Columbia, re cently held, have put forth their resolutions* which we publish. If construed favorably, they are not so bad as they might be ex peoted ; If construed as they are sosoeptlble, they are very bad Indeed. But whilst they eao fairly bear a construction consistent with any justloe to the people of the State, it is best, we imagine, to place that construction upon them, the more especially to eneoursge the better portloa of " the party ' to do what Is just and honorable. 1. That in order to make tha labor of all our loyal fellow-cliliens more effectual for carrying out the provisions of Congress for the restoration of law and order in our State, as well ss for the peace and prosperity of our ontire country> we, the people ot South Carolina, do form oarselves into a political organisation, to be knowti as the Union Republican party of South Carolina. J. that as republican institutions cannot be prcserred, unless intelligence bo generally difmscd among all classes, we will favor a unls fori* system of free schools and colleges whlob shaV be open to all. & That we will favor a liberal system of public improvements, such as railroads, canals and other Works, and also saeh a system of awiriling contracts for^he same as will give all our fellow-cititens an equal and iair ehanee to shire in them. 4. That'as large land monopolies tend only to mike the rieh richer and the poor poorer, and an ruinous to the agricultural, commercial a?i social interests of tho State, tho Legislature should offer every practicable inducement for the division and sale of unoccupied lands oaong tho poorerclasses, and or an encouragement to immigrants to settle in our Stato. 5. That the interests of tho State demand a reunion of the entire code of laws and the reorganisation of tho courts. I. That it is just aod proper that taxes sheald be ad valorem, and proportioned to the pnperty of tho eitixens. '. That the ballot being the surest safeguard oftbe rights of the eitlsen, all ekecutlvo and legislative officers of the State should be beted by tbe people ; therefor*, Re??lred, That, in our opinion, a purely rcpbiicsn government is maintained only by stkinj our rulers responsible directly to the pople by frequont elections?not by tbe Legllaturc, but by tbe people themselves ; therefore, HetolveH, That the delegates we shall send h the Constitutional Convention about to be tiled by the Commanding General, be Instruot? to so frame our new Constitution that the Governor and Couneil, Senators and Hepresmtatlves of tbe State Legislature, and all abordinate offleers except those of the Jndlolry Department, be ohosen by tbe people, to lold tbelr respective offices, not fbr two years, I iut for one year. And that in tbe election ot President and Vice President of tbe United itades, chosen every fodr years, the Wrrtor*, as hey are now in every other State of the Union, than be ohosen by the people directly, and not !>y the members of the Legislature. , 8. That the poor and destitute, those aged and infirm people, houseless and homeless, and past labor, who hate none to ears for them, should be provided for at tbe expense of tbe State; and thstt, in the reconstruction of our Government, we will see to it that they are ; not neglected and forgotten. 9. That the unhappy policy pursued by Andrew Johnson is) in it* effects upon tbe loyal , pooplo of the South, unjust, oppressive ^aud intolerable , and acoordingly however ardently we desire to see our State onoe more restored to its proper position in the Union, we would deplore restoration on any other conditions than those prescribed by the fortieth Congress, ' to which we give our cordial and entire sanction, believing the principles enunciated by the 1 Republican party, through that Cong ices, to he jnst and wise. I 10. Thet the adverse discrimination toward | the agritultnral laborers of the Southern i States, as manifested by tbe enonnons tax on eotten, Is anjnst and oppressive, end should be abrogated at the earliest practicable moment. 11. That we sincerely exult in the fact that, as a nation, we are now absolutely e nation of immen, ?na tnat, irnn tne HI. ijtvitaM to the Rio Grande, and from the Atlnntio to the Peeiflo, the ran no longer shines upon the brow of e stare. 13. That a wise care for tbe pnblie safety sometimes renders it necessary that those who hare sought resolutely to orerthow a Govern* ment should not hastily be restored to tbe prieilegea of whieb they hare deprived themselves by their ertsoe of treason?certainly not until they bare shown evidence of ihveero repentance, and a dispositteo m energetically to rapport as they bare In times past sought to destroy ths Union ; and that wo consider willingness on ths part of these men to elerato to power the men who preserved unswerving adherence to tha Government during tba war, as ths best test of sincerity in professions for tbe future. 13. That we will not eapport My candidate for office who will not openly endorse the principles adopted by the Union Republican par* tv; and that we pledge oorselvee to stand by the regular nomination ol the party, without any reservation whatever.

It may be urged that the schools are denominational j granted.

What Will nn the firsiscrr.?The New York llerald, of Friday, believes that negro Congressmen will be elected from the Soutb, and says: We are called, tben, to inquire what will be the moral effect in the political world of thia startlihg innovation npoo the old order of tiling* ? We may be safe that negro equality proclaiming itself through negro voices from both houaea of Congress, will make a profound impression upon the public mind throughout the North. We apprehend that the reauk will be a general reao lion agaimt the Republioan party in the Northern States; for we know that there is a atronger wall of white prejudice against the negro in the North than exists in the South. This prejudiea elected Buchanan, in 1866, and would have elected Douglaa or Breokinridge, 111 1860, had the Charleston Convention consented to nnite upon either. We may expect, then, when the blacks as same the polities! balance of power of ten reconstructed Southern State*, and eend up their black repreeeutatlvee to Congress, tbat there will be 'a revolutionary reaction against tbam among ths whites of the North( which will opaet the Republican party.? This may b# ths raat?obj#et of thoss leading Southern white politialaoe who are urging their people to the expert meat of allowing the redieala and the blacks all the rope they may desire In this business of Southern reconstruction. Let as push this thing of negro equality, say theeo Southern leaders, into Congress, aod than the laboring whita masses of lha North against this Southern negro polities! balance of power will take the alarm, and a Northern reaction of the whites against the blaoks will be the inevitable result; and thus ths Rspubltcsn negroparty will be destroyed by itaewn weapons.
