The great prirciplea which were involved
In the late alt uggle in which General I.xx
comnmnd-d, reeled upon the *trong platform
of the Declaration of Independence,
and no human effort can evir render them
ii.famous or the men who upheld them,
any more then the efforts of heathen*. and
religion* tyrant* nnd persecutor*, of every
name, could render infantona, the namea of
1boac who belong to the noble nrray of
Christian Martyr# In every age since the
day of Christ's Crucifixion.
The character and fame of General
is a type, a sp-cimen of that which belongs
to the Confederate officer*, and soldiers
and patriots generally. Of eonrse, he is
the most distinguished, perhaps, of any .
hut his fame rests on the nam* qualities and
conditions in which they shared. His exalt
ed repntation, therefore, r? fl -eta honor also
on others. Whilst Lax and Jackson live in
tame, and their memories shall be held in
honor, as they must lie, none of the more
humble Confederates of like honest piivate
character, need ever lie ndiam'd. The
very tame qnnliti- a that made J.\ck*on. ai.d
Lie, and others illnttroiu", w ill now ii flu*
ence every fi iend of the ex'iuet Cottf?*de*aey
to eliog to the Constilution of Ihe Uui'ed
States, and to maintain a Union founded
upon that Constitution Such is the pur.
|<ose, we sincerely believe, of the great
Democratic I'nriy. North and South?of
those of the party who fought under Mc
Clkllan and Grant, and of thoee who
fought under Jackson, and Lr.it, and Ji.iinSToN.
We were led t>? these remark* by seeing
an article from the Arte York 11-mid. commenting
on the fi?ne*s of Gen. I.rn 'o le
ceive th* nomination of 1 lie Democratic
Party for tlie Presidency, which of courseno
one r<a1ly expects. We give Ihe following
extraet from the HerahTt article.?
It will illustrate what wa hare said as to
the actual reputation of Gen. Lr.it and
others, among people in the North, and
everywhrre, in fact, amongst civilized men.
Put, if the Democratic Convention must
nominate a soldier?if it must have a name
lcicnunea wuu inc clones or the war?we will
recommend a candidate for its favors. Let it
nominate General Robert E. Leo. Let i? boldly
take at once the beet of all its aoldiera,
making no palaver or apology, lie la a bet- 1
ter soldier than any of those they hare thonght
upon, and a greater man. He is one in whom
the military genius of thia nation fliwla ita fulleat
development. Here, tbe inequality will l-e
in favor of tbe Dtmocrats; for Ibis soldier,
with a handful of men, whom ho had moulded
into an army, baffled our greater Northern
armies for four years; and, when epposed by
Grant, was only worn Uown-Vy that stolid
strategy of stupidity that accomplishes its objects
by mere wei^M. With one quarter the
m?D Grant bad, Ibis soldier /ought him magnificently
serosa the territory of hi? native'
Htate, and fought bis army down to a stump.
There never was such an army, or sueh a campaign,
or each a General far llluatrating tbe
military geniua and poatibllitlea of our people
; and thia General la the beat of all for a
Democratic candidate. It ia certain thai, with
half aa many men aa Grant had, he would
hare beaton him from the flald iu Virginia,
and he affords tbe heat promise of any soldier
for beating him again.

I publish the tloiii| ptnptpfii of tills $
i very excellent speech. Gon. Htsms was (
I roeeirod with groat demonstrations if rwynt (
by the students of tbe College, over which
Ura. Lbs presides, *b4 hy thocititcns ol the '
place. The speech, gbich jp a (pug one, Is 4
honorable to Gen. Disrrot as a scholar, pa- j
(riot and Christian fur it is pervaded throughout
with tha Christian spirit Inculcating the
performance of duty, as the corner atone of
true usefulness and of all commendable success
in life.
We hare seldom seen an address dslivcrrd
on any public occasion, by any one, not a pro- 1
fheacd minister of religion, so thoroughly per- I
vadud with moral and religions sentiments,
sn forced by eloqnout and appropriate words
and arguments. This is sn advance In the i
right direction. If aenllemon w?m to ?ftr ? I
the authority of the Christian religion, when
seeking to enforce precepts fo? the government
of the condnct of young mm, and pIlM be*
fore them the sanctions of the greet end eter?
nel truths of the Bible, their efforts would
accomplish much mure for the good of the
Country, end of the rising generation.
Gee. IIamrron says, in one pert of his
speeeh, " it la not for mo however, to venture
to toll you of your duty to Heaven. I
have spoken ef your obligations as eitisonr,
but I loavo it to your Rererod aad h??iy teachers
to point out to you. man's primal duty, that
to his God ; from their lips, and their lives, yon
must learn tho divine truths of Christianity,
wbioh teach you your duty to your Maker.
Mine is but the humbler task, to urge upon
you those daily diitica to bian, and to your
State, which will meet you on all sidoa, in
your journoy through life," de. But the Gen
oral docs appoal to use his own words, when
urging every one to hear tho cross of Hfc to ?
the reward and punishment of "the last great
<tay of Sua! rcconing, when all will be weighed
in the great scales held by the impartial
hand of a just aA<l Almighty Uod." lie alludes
also to the examples of Moses and others
in sacred history, and also to tho example of
some of the noble martyrs who have dkU for
the truth sake.
We should have been more perfectly satisfied
with the moral and religious arguments used
by Oen. llAMrro.v,if bo bad advised the young
men to go more dirtrlly, to the f >untnin of nil
truth revealed to man, tho Bible itself. It is
not sufficient to look to* Revered and holy
teachers, to point out * man's primal" duty,
that to his God, as Gen. II., suggests, or to
direct men to learn the Dirine truths of Christianity
froru tho lips and lives of such teachers
as are hnman and fallible, many of whom
???>?, i-viUN)^, rimer murniua IDO OOCirinCS
which they loach. or Imbibe them ready mad* ii
from those who Ihua received them, or who 1
may have adopted thorn from tho force of pre- t
judieea. with which they way liavc been tor t
rouuded. Young men and old men, college |
student*, and every other class of seekers after c
truth, should he directed to the pure fountain,
the holy 8cripturcs, which contain tho word ^
of the Lord. Religious teachers arc only to
be heeded according aa they conform tbeir
teachings by this standard, and it haa been
only a departure from this standard, by such '
multitudes of the Christian world, so called, e
that has so long, and so awfully involved the *
natious and communities in wars, and persccu- *
tiens, and all the desolations to which these (
lead. Revered and holy teachers, so-called, *
have scattered from tlietr " Hj>t" fire brands, ''
arrows, and dcntb.in the name ol Christianity, | *
They have preached creeds and bibles of tbeir ''
liwn making, as the Methodist North preached ''
the anti slavery disciplino and creed of Wr.8i,er
from generation to generation till the late ?
war and rufn ensued. I.rl a young man eros* ^
over the Virginia lino into 1'cnsylvania, and
receive precepts, as tu his duty lo God frntn | *
' Revered and holy " teachers on the north of 1
Mason and Dieksop, and he would bo taught *
to liato (Sen. IIawptos and Gen. Lr.r. there, r
and his own fathers, as most wicked partlei- ^
pants in '*tho sutn of all villainies," as laid "
down by one of the tear hen a hundred ytars *
ago. To pursue this theme would he au inter- c
minable task, we have merely alluded to it for *"
the' purpose of addiug our feeble protest *
against Isying too much stress on the guidance
ni the lips aud actions of Revered teachers. '
A Christian preacher is the noblest of alt tcaab- "
ers, and to be very highly eetccmod in lovo for
his work sake. His greatest duty ,is, surely '
however, to point to (lie truths of the Bible, "
for he is no inspired authority ; that, aud that j ?
alone should bo insisted on ss furnishing a 0
lamp to the feet, and a guide to the path.? 1 ?
David haa answerod tho question, ' Where- j |
witball shall a young man clean** bi* way ?

the Primary department war organised
flrat, and waa opened on the l'Jtth of Apri|
last. It Itaa now completed tU first quarter
of eleven weeka, under the management of
Mlaa Sophie C. S-nhh, Mirs EWt? Powell,
arid Mice Bisa M. Bailey, together with
Mr. J. B Sherman as instructor in music.?
Hie number of pupils during the year has
been 122; of whom, it la thought, nearly
half might have been unable to attend
school, but for this timely and accessible
provision for their wants."
The Commissioners Wre gratified with the
evidences of good order and of progress In
study. It woe no alight teak to reduce to
order the heterogeneous elements which
h ve been brought together from different
schools, and from different method* of
leaeliing, many, indeed, having never been
lo school at all. II was needful !? apply
ihe principle* of a aom -what new system,
without the teaehara basing bad previous
experience in working together; to overcome
the difficulties of insufficient accommodation
at first, and deficient apparatus
throughout; to bring all that mnltitudfe of
young minds under the gentle yet fi-m control
ot such Influences as ara approptiate lo
e school of this tort. That perfect success
hat been attained. 90 one would claim;
that a very considerable measure of success
live been gained, cannot be denied ; enough
certainly t-> encourage all eonc-med, and
to famish alike found it inn and atlmiiln* for
future improvements. In our own opinion,
both teaohere and pupils deserve a very
high degree of credit.
The school has been suMivided into five
clasees, denominated. A, R, Q , J) and E.?
The marks for correct recitation are not In
such a form ae to render a fair classification
ot the pnpiie, according to excellence in
this respect, practicable at pre* nt. The
names of lh?te pupi's in the n-sprclivc
classes who were distinguished for correct
deportment, and for regularity iu attendance,
