Spc?w Correspondent JVew* and Courier. ^TCTAESVILLE, Miss., June 13.-The * Mississippi Agricultural and Mechan? ical College was* chartered February 28/1S?87 It was opened to studeuts October 6, 1880. lt owes its exis tence to the "Act of Congress, ap? proved Joly 2, 1862, donating public lands to the sevei al States and Terri? tories, which may provide colleges for.tlf? benefit of agricultere and the mechanic arts.'7. The Si ale of Mississippi, in accept? ing the conditions of-this Act of Con? gress, and by her Act approved . February 28, 1878, prescribed in the powers given to the board of trus? tees: "The establishment and main? tenance of a first-class institution, at whieu the youth of the State may acquire a comm ou school education and a scientific and practical knowl? edge of agriculture, horticulture and the mechanic arts, also the proper growth and care of stock, without, however excluding other scientific and classical studies, including mili? tary tactics. They shall regulate the course of study, rates of tuition, management of experimental farm, manner of performing labor and the kinds of labor to be performed by students." The leading object mast be "to benefit agriculture and the mechanic arts.'' The complexion of the college must be such as to famil? iarize students with the leading ob? jects as set forth in the^Acts, name? ly : To educate and direct their minds and tastes to agriculture, hor? ticulture, care and growth of stock, management of farms, manner of per? forming labor and the mechanic, arte. This necessitates that special stress should be laid on the sciences, such j as chemistry, botany, geology, zoolo- j gy, entomology, physiology, physics, | mechanics, mathematics, &c, which j underlie agriculture and the mechanic arts. To understand properly these sciences, a liberal education, especial? ly in English is requisite. The varied conditions contributing to an iutelli g>HKL*ndei'Stai>diiig of agriculture as a science and an art include an edu? cation as btoad and libera! as that needed itt mastering any profession It differs, however, in kind ; it is to be industrial and practical. Students nnust be faniiiiar, not only with farms and labor, but must also labor them? selves, and this labor is a part of .t4>eir education. It is educational in so far as it is in illustration of stu? dies taught in the recitation room. 51 BA XS 07 SUPPORT. The college is supported by ap pioprialion from the State Legisla? nte. A small endowment fund of $4,923 25 is also received annually a?? interest on $88,575 worth of pub He lands winch was donated by the United ?tates Government. The State Legislature has provided grounds, buildings and equipraei for this college a property valued $I74,S57, which is exceeded by oj twelve similar institutions out of ? ty-seven now in operation in the U ted Stales. BUILDINGS, GROUNDS, &C. The board of-trustees, with t donation made by the citizens Starkville ($9,000) and the appropr tions, have erected a college bui ing (three-story) containing a chaj and fourteen recitation rooms ; a d? mitory building (three-story, inch ing basement, ) containing one rut died and fifteen rooms, a large lib ry room, writing room, and a lar, .room for the department of biology capacity^ of_Jxu?4i?gT-t*r&~~Tiu?d: and Gfty students ; a chemical lab( atory (two stories) with large lectu room, room for fifty students to wo at analysis, combustion room, priva laboratory ot professor, store roon: kc , a ?iQspitaLfor accommodation sick jetsons, agness hail an?socie roomijr*tor ?ree Jiuhdred studeni with large range for working ai store rooms ; also, complete me outfit in way of crockery, ?c. ; sevi professors' houses, three small hous for secretary and treasurer, for ste^ ard aod janitor and for surgeon ; farm house, two large cattle and hort barns, engine house, cattle at wagon sheds for farm "departmeu stable and sheds for horticultural d partment, ' 2,000 acres of lan and have equipped the sever scientific and academic * depai ments.

The far department, has herds of tboroug bred, graded and common cattle, ir. proved implements and machiner mules, ?fee. The horticultural d partment also is supplied with a goc working outfit, has a commerci nursery, "orchards, gardens, & llave also provided a library < 2,200 volumes. CKA-RACTER OFINST?TUT?O?i-FACULTY, & The college'as now in operation i a ?rst-ciass institution. The facult consists of a president, seven profe sors (one furnished by the Unite States Government,) filling the chan cf English, mathematics, biology scientific and practical agricultun -chemistry and physics, militar science and tactics. In addition t .these professors there are assist?t professors of chemistry," mathematics English, agriculture, biology an preparatory department (two) an ii struotor -TU free-hand and mechanicj drawing, one ia writing, one i book-keeping, -steward of the nc es itali, and the secretary of the boar of -trustees and ceUege, who keeps a accounts of the college and students MILITARY FEATURE. Military discipline is the estab?isl discipline of the college. Th discipline is mild but firm, and pei vades every department of f&e co] rege in so far as the students ar concerned. It is effective in th academic and industrial department alike. DEPARTMENTS O? TEE COLLEGE. The scientific departments of biol '?gy> chemistry and physics aro wei equipped for. work and illustration having ample apparatus. The depart ment of biology has the cabinet o minerals, ?ofls and fossils presentei by the Legislature, also a large col lection of other minerals and recks is provided with human and . anima skeletons, life-size charts, herbarium wood specimens, &e. The departments of agrietsit-s-reanc "hc.rticult.ure may be temed bot! -scientific and industrial The leach ing of thc sciences themselves pre .supposes to a certain extent a knowl? edge of biology and chemistry underling them. Besides tetkoeret ical instruction,students a re instructed practically in the field, barn, pasture, orchards, nursery, gardens, with care and growth of stock, with improved implements, &c, necessary for illes travion. Both of th? departments have facilities for instruction and il? lustration. Tke departments of Englisk and mathematics are well organized, and are laying the foundation of a thor? ough English and mathematical education, progressive and cowmen surate with a kuowJedge of the sciences. The preparatory depart? ment is well organized, and is doing thorough 'elementary work. The in? structor in writing has charo-e of ?he freshman class and preparatory stu? dents. The instructor in mechanical and free-hand drawing has charge of the junior class six months and the sophomore class three months. The instruction in bookkeeping has charge of the freshman class tir.ee months. THE INDUSTRIAL FEATURE. All students are required to work from two to three hours a day, four or five days during the week, on the farm, among stock, in the garden nur? sery or shops for oidinary repairs,or OK grounds. With two exceptions Michigan and Kansas-tho Missis? sippi College is instructing more stu? dents in the science and art of agri? culture than any other similar col? lege in the United States. DEMANDS FOR AGRICULTURAL INFORMA? TION. The demands made on the diff?rent professors of the college for informa? tion in their respective lines by our farmers is a must eneouia^ing feature and is steadily increasing It shows that thc college is meeting a long felt want among our industrial classes We are furnishing reliable informa? tion from an oin ci a I source and of a character to advance our material in? terests. It is an official bureau of information. Not only the citizens of this State but of the neighboring States are holding np the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Mississippi as a grand success. COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES. Commencement exercises began last ? evening with a joint debate by the ! two literary societies, the representa? tives from each being selected from the Sopomore class. The boys were all quite young, but spoke with an ease and confidence worthy of ma? turer age. They spoke without notes and showed a surprising degree of ! familiarity with their subjects. They : were entirely free from that sopho j morie style and tone so common in I our colleges. j This evening was occupied by the 1 members of thc fieshman class in comn^it?^&ideclamation for a gold medff^?j^^i by the professor of Englisto^fie declamations were all selected from agricultural or scienti? fic subjects. This was one of the requirements of the contest, and its object was?0 make the students do a great deal -.?f reading in that line in search ?f suitable pieces, and also for the good they will derive from a study of such subjects. The prize was awarded to Mr. S. E Oldham, oue of the youngest'merabers of the class. This morning the commencement sermon was preached by the Eight Rev. Hugh Miller Thompson, assis? tant Bishop of .Mississippi. At an early hour the citizens began to gath? er, andjong beio4?4W fcour ror-ser ?v+eesriKz^clMpcl was filled to over? flowing." The commencement sermon here is an eve.nt anxiously looked forward to by the citizens of the sur? rounding country, as they have learn? ed to expect something extra on that+ occasion. The chapel is large and spacious. It is beautifully decorated with festoons of evergreens and flags. On the stage is a display of farm tools, farm products, soldiers' equip? ments, &c, representing the various features of the college-the farmer, the soldier, the scholar. The campus looks fresh and green. The unshaded portions are sodded with Bermuda grass, the groves of oak and hickory grow a mixture.of orchard, Kentucky and blue and other grasses with clovers. The grounds are beautifully laid off with broad drives, lined on eitfier side with young shade trees, among which the catalpa, elm and magnolia are most prominent. The hour for services having ar? rived, it was announced by the ringing of the college bell. This was followed by a bugle blast, and the students, in their handsome gray uniforms, assembled on the parade ground, where they formed in battal? ion more than two hundred strong, commanded by student officers. They were marched then to the green in front of the hospital when they were formed in two columns facing inward to receive ike trustees. ' The president and trustees, proceeded by the drummer and color guard and fol? lowed by the faculty and other officers, and these in turn by the battalion of students, marched in pro? cession to the chapel, where seats had been i eserved for the students. Here your correspondent was struck with the admirable discipline of the stu? dents. They marched in quietly, divi? ded into two columns at the door and took their places systematically from front to rear, and remained standing until the command to take seats was given, when all were seated at once and quietly. . The sermon was a masterly effort. The preacher took his text from the second chapter of Genesis, fifteenth verse : "And the Lord God look the man and put him in the Garden of Eden, to dress and to keep-it,'' In beautiful language Ike preacher 3iP* scribed this earth as it was fresh from the hands of the Creator and showed how man must dress it and improve it to make a fit habitation for himself. He spoke of how mau is often recreant to Iris trust ; Low, instead of improving it, he despoils it of what beauty and goodness it already has ; the land is deprived of its verdant forest and soon left a bar? ren waste, washed with gullies, the soil all gone. Ile exhorted all men to endeavor to make some little spot in this world better for their hav iug lived there. The preacher is aa earnest, elo? quent speaker, and his sermon was ?lled with good, sound thoughts. He preached again in the evening lo a large audience. After the sermon, your correspond? ent visited the mess hall, which is a large, spacious hall with seating ca? pacity for several hundred. The store rooms, bakery and cooking de? partment are all under the same roof. In the second story are two large rooms fitted up for the literary soci? eties. T-ke students form by compa? nies in battalion and are marched to and from Keals. In the mess hall they are seated twelve at a table, and ead) table is presided over by the senior o?Ecer present, who' is respon? sible for good order at his table. The battalion is commanded by a student officer, with rank of major, who is also commandant of mess hall, and to him the officer of each table is responsible fur good order. Each student has his particular place at the table, and, he is net aUowed to exchange with an? other without permission from the commandant. When the students are marched to the hall, each one goes directly to his place at the table and remains standing till commanded to take scats, and when they are through eating they must keep their seats till coHiRian?ed to rise. 1 found the tables wei! supplied with vegetables raised in the college garden by stu ?dent labor.
