An Unintentional Omission, S
. In giving an account of the exercises of tlie v
I Masonic Female College at Cokcsbury a week it
x or two ago, ffc regret exceedingly that we in- a
ndvertantly omitted to notice the address of ?
President Connor to tlie Graduating Class. ti
This address was one of the best, if not the
> best of the kind we ever listened to, nud it has
been our privilege to hear quite a number on
such occasions. In standing before the Class, n
and in giving the graduates his parting advice, c(
Mr. Connor felt* deeply felt the responsibilities a'
of hi* station, and well did ho discharge that
responsibility. He exhibited all of the earn- ,n
estness, the sensibility, and the affection of the 81
parent who was endeavoring to make an B
impression ujhui the inind of his child f?r both 8'
worlds, and thnt affectionate feclinc was eoneli. R
i I ed in "tliooglils that breathe and words tbat *'
I burn." In a word the address was eloquent,
, forciable and impressive?just sueli o one as c'
we Iiad a right to expect from the autlior. ,fl
We agaiu repeat that we regret the omission ol
and cannot account for it unless it be referable
to a press of business at the moment we were **
concluding our hasty notice.

We append tlic following complimentary m
notice of tlic Address from the Carolina Time*: m
Tito lion. J. Foster Marshall of Abbeville, in
j t hen came forward and ninilc the address, which h)
i will be found on our lir.it page, and which for
' solid home thrusts and wholesomo advice, nl
j stands alone in the list of Agricultural aderesscs fn
| that we have ever read or beared. There is a cv
| fipirit of energy, energy of the da}-, in it which
. will tell in?the ranks of true ami patriotic men,
! and arouse "sickly PCtitiuientaliaU" to a sense "
! of shame mid mayhap, of duty. In it there w
i is none of the tliinsv (lowers of agricultural n,
speech rhetoric; it is nil sterling sense. We
beg to impress our readers with wiiiic very excell
out and nt the same time entirely new, aug- rc
gestions tlint may result happily to the Agriculturist*
of imr State; we refer "to the reclaimi"Bi
by draining, ?l*c., of the millions of acres (
of swamp land in the State. And we would
also refer to the ideas thrown out on the im- m
provement of the condition of our negroes. u|
hut read the address, it is teeming with a broad f,
an<l manly patriotic spirit that souls all looali- gj
ism*, and does credit to the heart and head of
the honorable speaker.

The Anglo-American. 11
This" was the subject of an interesting Lccture
delivered by the Rev. I)r. Thomas Curtis, be- B|
fore the Columbia Athenaeum, duriuc the past j,
week which we had the pleasure of hearing. 1)
As a correspondent of the YorkeUle Chronicle
wittily observe*, "the subject was better treated tj
than the Lecturer." There wo* not more, we
suppose than thirty persons present; quite a *<
contrast to the brilliant audience, which in the j
same building a few evenings previous, asseni- y
bled to listen to the singing of Miss Brcnan. e
On that occasion the spacious Hall was filled to n
overflowing, and that too when the tickets of
admission were sold at $1 00. c
1 The Lecturer had *]>ent a large portion of his
life in both Hemispheres, and was therefore the
better qualified to do justice to the subject selected.
lie lias an earnest and impressive
manner, and a glowing style, and exhibited
a perfect familiarity with English and American,
literary and political liistory. In the
analysis of the character of the Anglo Ameri1
can, the lecturer exhibited in a striking manner,
the combination of tlio English and American
element*; the German solidity of the one, and j
the Celtic impetuosity of tlio other. Tlte
salient points of contrast in the national charI
actor, where brought out in parallels, drawn
between the leading Statcamon of the two ?
i* countries ; Chatlinm and Jefferson ; Burke and I
Clay; I'itt and Webiter; Fox and Calhoun. 1
Many of the parallels we thought fanciful, aud f
the distinctions fine spun, but eminently origi- ?
nal and suggestive. The Lecture was very *
elaborate and wouid bare dona credit to any
" occasion. *
In connection witli the spacious IIoll of the '<
Athenaeum, are tlie Library and Reading rooms,
j TheXirst is ampty provided with the leading "
f Journals and periodicals of the day; the seto idL

The Agricultural Fair.
Wchadtho pleasure during tlie past week
f attending the sceond Agricultural Fair of the u
tate Society, and were well repaid for the
isit. Columbia was filled to overflowing, and |
. wm n matter of dificulty to obtAin quartern
t the Hotels. Abbcvillo'was well represented
n the occasion. The Savannah side of Dia-iet,
did not furnish its due proportion ; hut j
le reprosenatation from the Saluda supplied
le deficiency. The list of articles furnished
y us for exhibition, was varied and attractive
ud the number of prizes awarded to our fair
juntry women, and enterprising farmpnt U
Itogethcr encouraging.'
The Fair was a decided succcm, and compares
lost favorably with that of last year. In
mie of the departments, there may have been I '
falling off, its perhaps in the exhibition of
leep and hogs. But in others there was a
rcat improvement. The display of horses j
as much finer, and so of the various products
f the loom, the needle nmltlie pencil; of meinnical
art, and of agricultural industry. It
almost impossible to convey to one not prosit,
a conception of the number and variet}- v
F the articles upon exhibition. They inJica d
an}' thing else, than "Hard times," whilst
le crowds of gay belles, sparkling with jewels,
id exhibiting every style of rich costume,
lowed no signs of hnviug "nothing to wear.'

The Next Legislature. I
The Greenville Patriot, thus discourses upon J
he various subjects of Legislation, which will ,
irobably occupy tlic attention of the next <
iencrnl Assembly: 1
When the election of tlic T'nited States Sena- '
or tins been disposed of by the legislature. and
omo other inferior elections made, the Bank
mcstion will probably come up, ns it involves
hat other peculiar characteristic of the Ainercan
people, the making of monc5*. What will
?e done with the Hanks, how the}' will he pnnslied,
restrained or regulated, we are not able
o say. Instead of repcnling the laws of > ??y
and giving them a blank charter to make ns
ntieli profit as possible out of human poverty,
nfTering and distress, it may be deemed more i
fn Mlf nff nil tll/iiw nrfAiiaS..a in nlKan
States, nnd restrain them in denting in cxchnn- ,
to n legitimate business. Instend of letting
hem continue shaving shop*, it may be
bought advisable to confine to tlio true inent
nnd meaning of their charters. Whether 1
lie penalty they Imvc already incurred to the *
Hate shall be exactcd, may depend 011 their fu* K
,ure good behavior. [
The cause of educiil ion ought to be nrxt in- .
he American mind to electioneering nnd making
money. Perhaps, therefore, something "
nay l>e said in the Legislature in reference to
.he South Carolina College and the free schools 1
>f the State. The one is for the education of |
lie wealthy, and the other for the education
?f the poor. There is n grent middle class of c
>eople in South Carolina who support both c
hese institutions, nnd derive no benefit direct- '
y or immediately from cither I T^e College
s closed to them, unless they are prepared to ,
upport their sons there, whilst taking a full
:our*e of studies. They cannot think of their .
:hihlren being educated as charity scholars, ,
md hence the free schools are shut on them. J
Jow can it not be so arrangod as to open to
hem, the middle class and the best class, both ,
he College and the f. oe schools? Education '
n the primary branchesshould bo as free in .
South Carolina as the air wo breathe. These
ammnn A^linnla filinnlti lift nrvon in rich nn<t
>oor, to the middle clrwa and to ail class's.
All classes, ricli and poor, thould support J
hem, and maintain thcui Ity taxation on pro>orfy
or pertons. Let common schools es- 8
abhshed all over tho Up4 by authority of the *
tate. LetyherOttege be opened to all who 7

Our exchanges nrc filled with noeounts of I
lie destitution ut the North, And the riotoifs r
is.?ctnblie3 of unemployed workmen in the
Northern cities. The following extrnet gives
tn idea of the chnrni'ter of these deniunstrajpns
:
Not withstanding the nction of the Common
Council in nppropriatinir 1,000, to he extended
upon the Central l'urk, the unemployed
vorking inen are well nwnre that this will nford
them no iinmedinte relief. The city treas- S"
iry is bankrupt, and the loan authorized in orfi)

Jiirty days before the bids can l?e opened, Ef'ort?
ore making to anticipate the loan to the
>xtent of *100,000, but it >a nt least doubtful
vhtther it can be done. The unemployed, ?*
:onsprpieutly, though le.<s boisterous, still keep Sc
ip their meetings. They assembled ngain jes- l''
erdnv morning in Tompkins Square, to the "r
inmber of perhaps 500 of the working men, to
vliieh twice tho number of tho "swell mob"
vera added. "Secretary McGuirc," who had m
ironiised to lead them to the work on the Cen- T1
ral Park, was non e*l. miteli to tho disgust of
he crowd, who uttered ominous threats against. bi
?im?some of them suggesting the propriety of nc
vringitig the necks of "every mother's son of
lie eominittee."
A German named Noll, one of "the commitee,"
appearing al>out tliis time, a rush wa? f?
nade for "the d?d Dutchman" by the crowd,
vho seemed determiuad to "twist his bloody
leek for him,'' according to-order, and who did
>ush, kick, and eulf him. and j?our upon f>is
leau torrents oi innlcilictions, until the poor _
ollow escapcd at Inst and broke for home, pale
in a ghost. ?)
Several others wer?, in tnrn, ill-trcntc?l, but
tot seriously injured. Ono Irishman, who linil,
>n several occanioDs, addressed their *celing?, J*'
?ut whose efforts had failed to bring the "work . ,
ir bread," had to run for his life ; and in gen
tral, the excited mob pursued, with their whil- .
tin leaders, the policy of South Sea idolutors, j,1
vlio beat and bang their clay gods for not anwering
their prayerful supplication#, ascribing
heir failure to wilful perversity. Several Ger- 5!
