of thc.Occnsioii, the smiles and sympathy of

The Exaniiuation commenced "rwrit-h a pretty
, thorough drilling of the younger pupils in, the
. Eleinontary branches of study, in which they
exhibited a very creditable degree 4>f profi.
eicney. The higher branches of English?the
problems of Physics and the Mathematics next
engaged the attention ; and afterwards the
mvalnfi?a <if Fti-lniilni<r Kvntnv ntnl l'i-/icn.l..
f were discitssed over "Li vy's pictured page-,"
r and tlio mellifluous f!reek of liim of "Bcio's
r rocky isle." The pupils seemed to be well
, indoctrinated in tho pectiliar idioms of the
- ancient dialect*; their pregnant gen oologies
and latent constructions, and reacl with great
fluency and ease the various portions assigned
to thein. Mr. Elder appears to possess the
^ happy faculty of inspiring them with an inter1
est in their studies ; which to the student is
' the true philosopher's st.ono, more to bo cov'
etted than the "wealth of Ormus or of Ind."
' The performances of the studelits "were clos*
ed by the delivery of a number of select
speeches, bv the moro advanced nunils. The
The stylo of elocution was decidedly ."above
the average standard, nnd in some inptances
showed n high talont for declamation. The comic
speech, from Mr. "Bill Smith," wns will
delivered, and mndc eonstant demauds upon
the risibilities of the audience.
The Literary Address of Stephen C. DeBruhl,
Esq., on the "llelationfl of Popular Education
to Republicanism,,' closed the exercises of the
occasion. The address was well conceived,
nnd exhibited in the discussion of its various
topics tlie well matured fruits of much reading
j and reflections l? was characterized throughout
by manly good sense, nnd a cultivated
tafito, which found expression in a polished and
* flowing style.
\\ o regret to letyn that Mr. Elder contemI

Tlio Hon. R. M. T. lluntir, the distinguish!

address before the State Military Institute, i
Lexington, on "Tlio j>ast Progress of the II

Ject of unbounded,eulogy, from the newspapi
press, and which from thc,r extracts that \\
have st-en, s?emSto justify tlie highest coinmei
dation. The'Woshington Star characterizes
as "eloquent, lonrned, philosophic nnd iuto

the concluding part in which ho thus alludes t
his native State :
I have spoken, my young friends, of tli
character of Virginia as I believe it deserves t
be described ; not lightly, or in the boastfi
spirit of mere State pride. 1 nm nroml nf in
State, lint too proud", I trust, wantonly to lirin

and discussion, or to beg the world to prais
her. So far as the world is conccrncd, if ?h
is entitled to its esteem alio will in the* endri
ceivo it, and if she does not deserve it, the ni
tempt, to enforee admiration would oily b
ridiculous. I speak of lier to her childr?jyi^<t
you who have been trained and discipline!
under her own eye, that you may undcrstan

truth, which is soon to be committed, in pm

keep open her road to progress and itnprov<
menl, Preserve within her the feeling of eel

moral dignity which is given l?y the conscious

The Kpiscopal douoniinotioo hnvo some i
r- twenty-five of thirty houses of worship. I
re attended services in Christ Church?the same i

jy ofcthe churcliea of this persuasion ore splendid

f Belonging to the several brandies of the
Presbyterian family, are something over fifty
!l' houses of worship in the city. 1 mingled in
11 their congregations frequently, Und was always
vfell pleased. The ministers were nil plain,
"* prnetienl, unassuming, and apparently devoted
mciiu Indued, I wns ulmost universally plens'
* ed. in this respect, with tlio clergy of 1'liiln''
delphia. The Ilcv. Dr. Chambers, nn Inde1
r pendent Presbyterian, however, wjna my favore
ito. IIo reminded ma somowhnt of the Rev.
!" James Dannelly, well known to all of your
renders, nud of blessed momory to many, in
r" the pointedness nmj force of his sermons. Pul1
pit politicians received no <pinrter.a$h is hands,
a no matter of what church they we're leaders.
1 I heard him make onc'of the be-<t Teinpornnotf
discourses I ever henrd, and if I had sp'aco I
wotuti urnw oil my notes, taken nt the time,
nnd give yon nil ontlihe of hi* exhibition of
(lie enormous evils of the liquor traffic. On
another occasion lie preached upon the subject
of the duty of Christians to obey atfd ro-*
^ spect. the laws and the " powefs that be"'teinporal
; mill it was then that he administered
" his scathing rebuke to the "higher-law" dema1
gogues in general and Sharp's-riflc divines in
" particular. If I hail expected to bo a citizen
of 1'hiladelphia, I believe I should liavo "joined"
his church, for the very lovo of hi* boldness
and ability in rebuking wickedness and

11 Of the Baptist faitil there nre ahout twentyc

f Attended services in one or two of them, very
[. favorably impressed me. l^rememher hearing
c n Baptist clergyman detail some of the misery
? and destitution that exists in certain portions

U The Methodists hnve about thirty churches.
; I was nn nttcndnnt on their services on two
f* occnsions, nnd on ono of these was pleased to
^ hour nil incidental hut not n pointless rebuke
of higher-lnwisin, from one of their ministers,
[f Besides the churches enumerated, there nrc
;l some eight or ton Lutheran; two or three OcrlL

Moravian; four Universnlist ; one Unitarian ;
d and eight or ten Hebrew synagogue*.

^ In the line of public amusements, the city
j. boasts of three Theatres, besides t he American
o Academy of Musk', (or Opera) which is beyond
}* doubt the largest linll I crer saw ; Musical

bitions, concerts, circuses, Ac., <?e.
B One ennnot go nniiss for scientific and liteir
rary institutions. The Cirnrd College, to meny

proud. It was founded, as you know, by
, oipjiiioii uirnrj, n man who came when ft boy
y from France mid settled in Philadelphia, be"3
ginning tho world as an errand boy, and pen^
niless. IIo died an old man, and a millionaire,
e leaving hi?1Vtei fortune to benevolent objects,
e of which tMflPollege in question is one.' The
- btiildiog is a perfect palace. None but deati?
tute orphans are to receive the benefit of the
^ institution, and they are "taken in, fed, clothed
d and educated. I think there were some three hunit
dred pupils in the College at the time of my
visit to it. The cost of the building, with the

The Examination of tho School of J. W.

Tout rut dan* tout, has. justly said the celol?rni<?cl
T?v - - - - * *
i?j3, sir, everything is
t6 bo explained by everything, no matter i
where oue begins ; for, in this world, every
thing is equally important, and there is neither
beginning nor ending, and, -therefore, tfee
study of Go^!? law*,-creation, and knowfedge,
may be equally acquired, no matter at what !
point one begins of the eternal and infinite
circle that embrnees nnd encompasses all creation
in its circumfcrencc. llcnce to a mastor
mind it is indifferent at what point he begins
to fix the attention of his pupil, or what subject
first arrets his attention, and trains his
mind. Son,
remember! saj's St, Luke; nnd I snj*:
Teacher, remember thaf'JW est duns tout."? .
These rvflectionn were suggested to my mind,
when I witnessed, for the first time, the examination
'of Mr. J. W. Jones' school in this
District. I was invited to accompany a genii,.....,..

to tlic care of Mr. Jones, two of his nephew*
whom lie educates at his own expense, and |
who honors me, all unworthy as I may he,
with the aweet title of his "fitln* Achntr*." In (
the company of bucIi generous impulses, and j
in the presence of such teachers and "scholars,
I could not fail of heing delighted ; and my 1
high expectations were completely realized.
The Imperial Princc of Russia, Conetantine,
who has lntcly visited La belle Franco, said of 1
that wonderful nation : I came to your coun- 1
try fully imp^-'ed that Francc is a irreat conn- 1
try ; but nij ..invidious now, fnr surpass my I ,
expectations. In my democratic way, I may
7 the same of Mr. Jones' school. It has exci-vdeil
all my fondest expectations. There is
in it, more than meets the material eye; you
must turn to it the microscope ami telescope
of your mind's eye, If you expect to see the
hidden results that it is calculated to produce.
You breathe, in the midst of this abode, nn
artless simplicity, ft primeval innocence, thnt
is trulj- refreshing, especially when compared
with the stiff nndstndied formalities of frigid
etiquette, and the cold grasp of selfish conceit
and indifference obtaining elsewhere. lint I

and that must suffice for 1113- present purpose ;
though minute details coul<l only rcdown to
the credit of nil those coneern'Sd, nnd, indeed, 1
cnhnnce the great value of every thing connected
with this school. I rather aim to impart
simply my feelings and general impressions during
this most delightful meeting, enriched as
it was, by the concord of sweet sounds.".?It
was truly a treat to the intellectual, nnd n
feast of the soul to the pure, in which the
Bard of Mantua, nnd of Au?oninn shores,
sang to us of Itnliaml and in which also the
musical tnusc emphatically elevated our souls | 1
above oil the richest poetical emotions of the
moat inspired poets. To Mr. Kotschild, the
present excellent teacher of this institution,
this wonderful result is to be ascribed. Mr. 11.
is a violinist, who, without hyperbole, may bo
pinceii nniong the tint nrtistj of this prolific
age, nnd lie justly deserfS^to be considered
one of their compeers. Certainly this mnsterjof
his art, the inspirations of his soul, his fertile
imagination, his wnvmth ond coloring of
style, and above all, hit) refined and dclicatc
taste have been daily and successfully engrafted
in his docilc and talented pupils. I will
not say that it is wonderful, but I will confi
dently sav^ that it is extraordinary, that so
eminent awrrco of natural dinnmitinna ft*.
mncieat talent tlionld have been developed by
this gifted musician in a family of fire, sons
and a daughter, whosjr combined talents and
diversified powers of perfortnnnce on various (
instrument*, constitute a harmonic orchestra in
itself!
The other sister arts and muses have no '
reason to be jealous for any neglect; none aro (
over-looked ; but, indeed, all concur to form a
pleasing unity; in a word, they form a circle
of exquisite and surpassing beauties, etherial '

Commencement in Wofford College.
On Wednesday morning, the 8th inst.., thereassembled
in the Chapel a large and interesting
auyienco. composed of youth, beauty and
old ago, to witness the Commencciuont oxer- _

together in the nnnals of ourJovn.
There were representatives of beauty aim intelligcuee
from all parts of the State, and from
the adjoining counties in North Carolina. We
were truly glad to see such a large number of
people in attendance, manifesting and evincing
