There were 33 questions asked and answered
in the same manner in astronomy, with equal

I THE COMMENCEMENT AT ERSKINE COLLEGE.
I We had the pleasure durinp Hie past week
of attending Hie Annual Coiumenceinent nt
Krskine College. An usual, it was nil occasion
of great interest, and attracted a large attendance
from this and tlio adjoining Districts,
Parent*, brothers, and sisters, the young, the
gay and the beautiful, had all como up to grace
with their presence and smiles, this annual festival
of letters.
The Auuual Sermon before the graduating
Class, was delivered by the Rev. II. T. Kloan.
We regret that we had not the pleasure of
hearing its delivery as we learn that it was a
very superior effort, and peculiarly appropriate
to the occasion. Mr. Sloan has established
quite a reputation as a pulpit orator and
divine, and we have heard this spoken of, as
one of his best efforts. A copy has been

On Tuesday evening ut candle lighting,
Lindsay llnll presented its usual liriliant array
of speotdtors to witness the delivery of

graduating class. The diplomas of the Euphcmlnn
Society were presented l?y W. It. MoCi.klLAxn.'^L

of Chester S. C., responded. \V. M.
Gkikr, of Due West, delivered the Diplomas of
the I'liiloinathean Society, and the response
was made hy T. C. IJiiown, of Newberry.
The addresses were generally well written, '
nnd well delivered. We were particularly I
pleased with the elFort of W. M. Giiikr, n son !
of the President, whose speech exhibited great !
maturity of thought taste and practical wisdom, I
mid was delivered in an easy ami graceful I
slyle. The exercises were enlivened by some |
tine music from the well known Governor's j
[land, of Coluinbin, upon tlie conclusion, the ;
llic audience repaired to the llalls of the l-.it
jrnry Societ i<'?, where the young people enter:ained
each other until a late hour.
Wednesday was Commencement Day, but 1
the gloomy, wet ami disagreeable morning j
promised rnlher an inauspicious season for tlie i
exercises of the occasion. Many were no ;
doubt kept away I13* the rain, but we still had :
?large crowd of spectators, and sulHcient to |

After an appropriate prayer from the President,

THE BLUE RIDGE BAILBOAD.
A meeting, the object of which is to advance
the interest of this road, will bo held at Tunnel
Hill during the present week, and we trust
that something may be done?but we doubt it.
There is a settled hostility to this great dnterprise
iu various parts of the State. Conflicting
interests and claims are springing up in
verbs' quarters to retard, and if possible, to
defeat the project altogether. There are a set
of Moating objections abroad which, in eur
opinion, will settle down into this: The State
is not able to make appropriations for the
road, and at the same time to carry on the
great work she has undertaken at Columbia*?
the erection of her magnificent State House?
as though the State House was worthy of being
compared in importance with tbia great
line of communication between the West and
North West. The State House, tehich was a gigantic
fraud palmed off upon the people of the
I State in the Jtret inetanee, had better sink into
nonentity, never to be heard of again, than to
have the Bio# Ridge Railroad faiL Were we
a member of the Legislators to-day we wonld
ote againet rendering any farther aid to the
State House until the building of the Blue
Ridge ReflrMd was sees red?not secured by
advancing money to build the read, but by endorsing
the bonds of the Compeny, aqd tfctk
sbe eould do without jeopardising her OMdit fa
the slightest degree. .
THE GRAPE CULTURE.
Were wc satisfied that tlie culture of grapes,
and tlie making of wine would promote the
cause of temperance, as it) contended by many
wiser heads than ours, wo certainly would
urge upon our farmers and planters to appropriate
a portion of their land to tho grape
culture. I5ut, wc coufess, we ore not without
our misgivings upon the subject so far as wine
is concerned. We believe confidently, however,
that the vinej'ard may be roado more profitable
in tho sale of the fruit thau in its conver
sion iuto wine. We are informed that sound
ripe grapes aie worth twelve and a half cents
a pound in Charleston, and probably much
more in New York. A bushel weighs fifty
pounds which, when delivered iu Charleston,
will bring six dollars and twenty-five cents,
ond fifty cents will cover the entire expense
<?i delivering mem, t<> wliieli may lie added
twenty five cents for the box.
The lute I)r. Touno is certainly entitled to
great credit for his zeal nu<l enerpv in introducing
the vine among us. J. 11. Wilson, Ksq.,
who has the vineyard in charge, lius kindly
hIiowii us through this vineyard several times
since the grapes liegnn to ripen, and it is
enough to uiukc one's mouth water to look up'
on the rich and luscious clusters as they hang
down from the vine. Bui looking did not ouffiee;
we were invited to taste, and accepted
the invitation with nil our heart Mr. Wilson
proposes to sell these smites at a f.iir nri
thinking that it would probably be better for
Ibe estate to realize tlieir worth at once, and
save the trouble, expense noil delay of converting
tliein into wine. *
GOVERNOR WISE'S LETTER.
The following singular letter of Gov. Wisk
to a friend in Albany, in relation to the I'residency
lias been very generally published by
the press, with every variety of un favorable
comment. The Governor has come out in a

which appears that the letter
was intended to be strictly confidential, and its
publication to have been a gross breach of private
tiust.

Tammany Ke|?eney would carry u united
gation from New York to Charleston. For
whom? Douglas, I know, is confident; hut
you nuiy rely on it. thnt Mr. ISuchanan in himself
n candidate for re-nomination, and nil his
patronage and power will he used to disnppoint
Douglas and nil other aspirants. Our
only chnnco is to organize hy districts, and either
whip the enemy or send two delegasions.
If lhat is done or not done, we must still
rely cm a united South. A united South will
depend on a united Virginia, ami I pledge you
that she, at least, shall he a unit. Virginia a
unit, and persistertt and firm on a sound pintform
of protection to all persons, of popular
versus squatter sovereignty, sho must rally to
her support all the South. The South cannot
hiiojil jir. i.iougius piatiorm. it is a short cut
to all the cutis or black republicanism, lie
then will kick up his heels. If he does or
don't he can't be nominated, and the main argument
against bis nomination is that he can't
be elected if nominated. If he runs an independent
candidate, and Seward runs, and I am
nominated at Charleston, I can beql them both.
Or, if squatter sovereignty is a plank of the
platform at Charleston, and Douglas i? nominated,
the South will run an independent candidate
on protection principles, and run the
election into the House. Where, then, would
Mr. Douglas be? The lowest candidate on the
list. If 1 have the popular strength you suppose.
it will itself fix the nomination. Get
that, and I am confident of success.
Tlie IIoii. F. Wood is professedly and really,
I believe, a friend, and of course I would, in
good faith, be glad oi his influence, and would
do nothing to impair it, and could not justly
reject his kind aid ; but yon may rely upon it
thnt I am neither oompletely nor at all in thu
hands of Mr. Wood, or of ony other man who

and 1 am to liiiu, but nlwuys on fair aud independent
terms. There is nothing in our relations
which should keep aloof any friend of
either. He knows, as well as any one can tell
him, that his main influence is in the city of
New York, and I judge what you say of his
country influence is correct. But I am counting
all the time without New York, and don't
fear the result. I am depending solely upon
an open position of principle, independent of
all cliques, and defying all comers. We will
overwhelm opposition in Virginia, and her
vote will be conservative and national.
At all events, 1 shall always be glad to hear
from you, and am, yours, truly,
IIEN 11Y A. WISE.

Personal.?It gives us plensnre to state, upon
authority, that Major F. \V. Capers, of
oouin l aroima, nas nccepiea me. superintendency
of the Georgia Military Institute.?Savannah
Republican.
We regret to eny that the above is true.
Mnjor Capers having announced the fact to his
cadets a few days since.
Major Capers feels impelled to accept the
situation in the Georgia Institute, from regard
for his wife's health, which has become seriously
impaired, and for which he hopes to find the
dry air ot Marietta decidedly beneficial, lie
will terminate his connection with the Citadel
Academy ou the 6rst of October, and will com
mence ins uunes bi mnrieua oeiween mac ar.ie
and the first of the following January.
In parting with Major Capers, we but echo
Hie sentiment of the btate, when we say that
it is with extreme reluctance. Maj. Capers has
bo thoroughly identified himself with the Cita
del Academy, by his devotion to duty, by the
high tone and loftiness of his character, by bia
unassuming aod quiet demeanor?elements
which we know he lias successively impressed
upon the many clashes of Carolina youth who
have graduated under him?that all had began
to regard him as a permanency in its corps of
officers; and the news of his resignation will
be unwelcome tidiDgs in every district of the
State. We heartily wish it were otherwise.?

Thk Italian Coctkdbration.?That very able
Iiublication, the Revue des Deux Mondes, thus
u?tly remarks on the new Italian Confsdera
nun ;
The principal difficulty of the new organization
live in this?that a Confederation of sovereign
States, bound to reapeot the rights of the
Particular sovereigns composing it, can only
ave for its organ an assembly in which the
sovereigns themselves are directly represented.
Such a representation oan only be inspired
with the true national spirit of Italy on one
condition namely, that the various individual
governments shall be themselves the emanation
and expression of the different fractions of
the Italian nation. Now, government* only
acquire that cbaraoter by sincerely and seriously
liberal institutions. Political liberty ia
not a mere word, it only exists on two conditions.
These positive conditions ara, in the
first place, the free manifestation of opinions
secured by legal guarantees, and in th# second,
the partici|Alion of the people in the direction
of the general polioy, through the medium of
representative assemblies. Buoh are the prineiplea
whioh ought to preside over the politioal
regeneration of Italy.
The difficulty is far greater than existed in
the ease of the Thirteen American Colonies;
and Qhould be taken into acoount by tboM
who expect to eee bproTlwd, m ft were,

political liberty.

thought he would avail himself of the darkness

effect. Shortly after the negro discharged from

age, allowing a commutation; the establishment
of regimental or battalion encam[>nients
; snd offering inducements to the formation
of new, and encouraging old volunteer

however were adopted, but that it was determined
to report in favor of strong encouragement

"Napoleon, by the actual aid of Great

Paris by the victory of Bolfcrino. The debt

And, if in this respect, the turn of Great Britain

How and When to Eat Fruit.?Fruit should
not be indulged in between meals, as though it
was a luxury, but used in moderation, at meat
time, in the place of animal and other food.?
It should not be ealen for desert, after a full
meal has been made, as la usually dene?a
custom which cannot be too severely repreheuded
Fruit may, with safety, be eaten at
any meal, but it would b* well to confine it to
breakfast. The old saying will be found true
by praetiee. " Fruit is (old in the morning, silver
at noon, and lead at night." Let it eonsti.
tote a part of the breakfast, and be eaten at no
other period of the day; let it be ripe and
not eaten immoderately, and inoalenlabl^ benefit*
will arue from its use, both in preventing the
