Frequent eases of theft cro reported. Corn,

,.vW mo premises of the owner direct to a I
neighboring ^plantation. Tlie owner desires |
a scarcb warrant from a magistrate to mcovor
his jproperty. lie isBiirc that it may bo found
among the laborers' quarters on said plantation.
But he does not know on whom to fasten
suspicion. Tlie question is, can a magistrate
so frame a search warrant au to entitle
the holder to entry into and upon any und all !
premises on eaid plantation, or must the owner !
.of tho coro, etc., obtain a separate warrant for |
each of eaid prcmisoHi Jiy contract, the planter
generally spccsifies that he is to be permitted
to .outer any house on his ploc-i r>t will, because
of their being all hia own property.

= .. .w nun just 1051 11)0 C01-II,

as constituting one and the same premises, nil
subject to action under the one warrant?
From the reply of Gon. Sickles, we cxlraet I
ite main paragraph:
"In general, eearch warranto cau only bo I
issued upon /rom by ntliUavit showing probable
grounds fox the belief that the etojen property
is on the premises designated for beareh ; the
warrant should be placed in the baud* of a
nonstable, sheriff or deputy sheriff, and by
Jiim executed. If the affidavit dee-jribes a
plantation as ihe premises where tho property
ja SQcroted, the authority to search would extend
lo the dwelling and all appurlenancea.
rremiseB held by agreement between landlord
and tenant would not bo appurleuant. and
a separate warrant must be issued to au?
tborizo a search therein."

command of llolv Writ was uracil with th<> tdrhr
and forcible thought, the earnest, graceful,
and impressive elocution, which characterize
all tlio pulpit performance* of this young divine.
We often had the pleasure during the

hint several time* since, and liavc l?cen lc<l to
form the highest estimate of hij talent.*, and

and tlie interest of the occasion wn? heightened
by tlio prcsenco of Governor Orr, whose arrivul

feature of the occasion was tho eweot niubic,

the accomplished teachers and pupils of
the Female College, which was the bubject of
universal commendation, ami which was generally
prefc-md to tiie martial strains which

After ati hour's recess (lie Anniversary
Aililrsss before the Alumni of Krskipe College
was delivered by Col. 11. A. Fair, of AbbevilleThe
Adilre&ii was an ablo and elaborate performance,
characterized by pamstakiug research
and clear and logical thought, and was
dvlivc^.l in the F!>caket's u*ual earnest and
impressive style. Ills subject was, the past

with the proper exertion on the part of the
Alumni. An interesting fealuro of the Ad

of t!io peculiar and appropriate work of
each of l!ie learned prolusions in advanc'ini*
tlir cause of human development, and of tlie
contribution!! which the College huil mado to
each of tlietc departments of labor. To tho
Alumni the A'ldrc*s wan poculiariy attractive,
on account of the lurgo mass of valuable and
interesting information wliich it presented
with regard to tho past history of the College,
and its soul-stirriiig ar.peals cannot fail to
arouse them all to renewed exertion in behalf
of their Alma Multr. We are glad to be able
to furnish our readers* a copy of tho Address.*,
the publication of which we commence in onr
present issue.
After the close of the Addres.?, rv very interesting
meeting of the Alumni was held in the
jmii o: iiie Eupliemian Society. The Rev. WM.
Grier was elected the uext Anniversary orator;
the Itev. W. J Lowry his alternate.
Resolutions waro adopted urging upon the
Alumni tho necessity of making renewed effort*
in behalf the College, and a Committees
was appointed to memorialise the Syuod on tl*?
subject.
Thursday was commencement day in the
Female College, and this occasion was one of
vnusual brilliancy and attractiveness. Lindsay

of Abbeville. To'eay 01 tho Address, that it
equalled expectation would be but faint praise.
I It mora Ihini realized tho anticipations of the
! friends of tho youthful orator, and furnished
! additional auguries of the brilliant future
j which we trust awaits him. The subject of
: "Female education" furnished tho congenial
theme, upon which tho fancy ami reason of
j the orator expatiated, culling by turns the
tlowcrs of Bcutimeut, and the fruits of s.igo
i reflection. Infancy, childhood, und girlhood
! were successively delineated, in their marked
( characteristics and peculiar developments, and
i the lessons of nn education proper to eiieli set
] forth, which should foster the expanding pow.
j era into the full bloom of pcrfect womanhood.
! The true ideal of female education wus forci
j lily presented?on education winch whilst |
i stimulating the intellect, rctining the taste, find |

lliat a Congressional Couimiltce consisting of
five, have been appointed to investigate cruelly
committed on Union prisoners by .the . Con fed
crate authorities during the I^e war. If their
field of investigation were enlarged, and the
Committee were aho charged with an inquiry
into utrocitics committed upon Confederate
prisoners, eoiuc valuable contributions might
be obtained to tho truth of history. Wo have
110 doubt that there were many instances of
needless cruelty to prisoners on both sides, but
have an little doubt that every out of cruelty i

in Federal barbarities. Most of the Buffer.

Mr. Ashley's amendment requiring nil
Stale officers to tnko the iron clad oath, whieli
would uceesarily have vacated all the Stale

original intention of Congress, ill passing th>j

contain anything looking to n general amnesty, j

seems to have met with no favor.
