combining also much French spirit
aud the piquant vivacity belonging to

understand, with no extraordinary
devotion to her text-books.
Miss Kendall’s “Life is Beal,” al
though a meritorious essay abounding
in elevated moral sentiments, lost
much of its deserved effect on about
seven hundred “heathens” of that
“highly enlightened and appreciative
audience,” who came there to he

“TH* LANGUAGE OF EMOTIONS,
by Miss Roberts—a worthy essay—
like a number of kindred themes by
the young ladies, betrayed the fact
that, despite the strict discipline en
forced by the President, the young
ladies have in secret been studying
an art not included in the College
curriculum, which may win for them
more brilliant conquests in after life.
Miss Lila M. Boss, in asking “Doth
God care for Oxen,” demonstrated
that he oared for tinman souls too.
WheuMiss Boss was called upon
she was soon
“UP AND DOING,”
but in a very quiet manner. Her essay
was very commendable, but was read
too indistinctly to be heard by the
audience. However, this disposition
is fur from being a disparagement.
Miss Hines told us that while it
required a telescope of immense pow
er to observe “Spots on the Sun,
they could be discerned on the char
acters of men with the naked eye.
Miss Duncan, although uninten
tionally, illustrated one part of her
subject, “Bright Sides ana Shadows, - ’
in her own person, hut for an illus
tration of “shadows” she could not
find a single subject in that assem
blage, except a tew misanthropes and
croakers who came there to find some
thing to condemn.
This essay was delivered in a
thrillinglv pathetic and well modu
lated voice.
But by far the most popular effort
of the day was by
XUS LULA A. BOSS.
betrayed a versatility of talent that is
rarely w itnessed in u woman. Freqcli
and English sulututories being re
served for more favored pupils, she
was determined to make her obesi-
tuice to that highly respectable part
of the audience, die Deutcher dee
Valerlamk, aud commenced after this
strain; Mein wur/iyen Freund, die
Frauleint und JUenne: (loud ap
plause). Ieh appeere before euch an
dieeer occashttn to express vie! mooch
es rejoices mich to velcome you hier! •
(Prolonged applause). But we cau’t
do her justice; she was greeted with
deafening applause at the utterance of
every sentence. Her address to the sons
of the “Emerald Isle” which followed,
we understand, she wrote only the
day before, aud had not read it since
the first review. We were too much
fascinated by the delivery to report
at the time, and can only guess at a
venture. “Celt, my Lords and La
dies, it is mcself, to he sure, faith and
bejabers, that has lmd a most prissing
and oorgint eenvitation to addrees
your highly respictable ami iligant
audience to-dav, (applause) &c., Ac.
Miss M.’s delivery was faultless, and
her manner and graceful hearing
won the attention of the whole au
dience the moment she stepped on
the floor.
“The Influence of Scenery on Char
acter,” bespoke for the author much
serious thought and a habit of obser
vation.
“The Claims of Equatorial Diame
ter, or, in other words, the Bliss of
being Fat,” next to Miss Ron.- - , was
the most humorous of the day, aud
we noticed was the only performance
of the commencement that won a
bouquet; and yet it is possible that
the charms of the young lady were
in alliance with the charms of the
essay to secure this trophy.
Miss Rawson in “The Tongue the
True Sceptre," admirably sustained
herself and Atlanta’s reputation,
both of which had been considerably
exalted by previous -performances.
Miss .Jackson hud a natural curi
osity on exhibition, “The Chamele
on , but honestly admitted that it
on;” but honestly admitted that it
was not a native of Africa, hut an an
imal indigenous to a thousand house
holds in our lam!. It was the man
and woman that could change his or
her color to suit every circumstance
of life, that they might conceal their
true nature.
Misses Hinton and Lane shared,
the First Honor. Their valedicto
ries were models of eloquence and
beauty, and sadly touching, and filled
the eyes of many and hearts of all,
with tears at the idea of severing as
sociations almost as sacred as those of
sister with sister.
T1IE BACCALAUREATE,
hortation to his beloved pupils to
continue in the path of duty, from
which he was proud to sav, few had
ever departed. His subject, “The
Bounden Duty of Usefulness.” was
an appropriate theme, and was dis
cussed in a manner calculated to im
press the most frivolous.
The closing address by Dr. H. II.
Tucker, on the
“DIGNITY OF LABOR,”
while it convulsed the audience with
laughter, was the most powerful and
effective appeal to the rising-genera
tion we ever heard, and if delivered
throughout the country would do more
to awaken the youth, men and women
of this country from their wonted in
dolence, than all the essays und lec
tures and sermons for years to come.
The Doctor will continue to repeat it
so long as he is satisfied it does good,
and will then surrender it for publi-
lication.
With this the exercises of this most
worthy and exemplary institution,
which now numbers nearly two hun
dred and fifty pupils, closed. Our
stay was made most agreeable by the
kind attention of the Faculty, espec
ially Prof. Schwartz, who, in consid
eration of our “model deportment,”
volunteered to introduce us to a num
ber of the beauties of the school, in
defiance to their regulations. For
this, however, we venture to say we
suffered more than either Professors
or pupils, in the many heart-sighs at
leaving. No More Anon.
Why Is It 1
The “touchstone test” of Hon. A.
H. Stephens, which appears in an ed
itorial in The Atlanta Sun, by
which he proposes to determine the
friends and allies of the people of the
South, has fallen like a bomb shell
into the ranks of the partisan De
mocracy -of this State. It bus pro
voked a criticism unsupported by ar
gument, dictatorial in manner and
terms, ami evincing an evident pur
pose to forestall a public discussion
of political questions involving the
dearest rights of a free people.
This partisan wing of the Democ
racy of Alabama demands the accep
tance of the Reconstruction Acts os
facts, and the admission that they
have been settled in the manner anil
by the authority constitutionally ap
pointed. If we should receive them
with approbation—for acceptance
means nothing less—why not also in-
and firm in the maintenance of the
essential principles upon which it is
based, “is bom of tne morbid ego
tism of a sickly mind and disap
pointed ambition,” would that tne
National Democracy was incurably
affected with the disease.
It is said, and is doubtless true,
that the Democracy of the North
and West will dictate to the party,
the platform upon which it will enter
the Presidential contest in 1872. It
is, therefore, useless to discuss issues
we are powerless to affect or control.
In our opinion it ia also true, that the
Democracy of the North and West,
in the adoption of a platform, will be
controlled more by the wal Democ
racy and a disposition to conciliate
~ uhlicanisqt, than a hold
moderate Repi
and fearless vindication and defence
of the Constitutional rights of the
people. The contest will lie made
more for the acquisition of power,
than for the disinthrallment ^of the
white race at the South. Constitu
tional rights will be asserted, and con
stitutional checkB aud obligations
recognized alone, which will not an
tagonize the popular prejudices of
the Northern masses, ami when we
shall hold up to their gaze the plain
provisions of the Federal Con
stitution, they will tell us they
know our rights, and have wit
nessed our oppression ami suffering
uuder unconstitutional amendments,
and Radical rule, Imt ■ to relievo ns
from the calamitous results of the
former, would hazard their clmime of
success—they must accept them as
accomplished facts, ami pledge the
party to the future maintenance and
support of their provisions, aud can
only promise to relieve us front the
latter. That the people of the North
and West know that the reconstruc
tion measures are infractions of the
organic law of the laud, but they re
gard them necessary for the preser
vation of the Union, and they must
he validitied by our acceptance ill or
der to secure our success. Then why
waste our time in the discussion of
matters beyond our control. They
know the Democracy of the South
will sup|vort the candidate of the
National Democracy, because there
is more safety in a jierverted intelli
gence than in Radical ignorance,
hatred and revenge.
Under existing circumstances, it is
far better that we remain untrumcled
by party pledges, aud zealously watch
for a returning sense of right and
justice in the Northern mind, when
to be true to the (JonstitUtiou and the
essential principles upon which it is
based, will not, by Southern men at
least, be stigmatized as “bom of the
morbid egotism of a siokly mind and
disappointed ambition.”

receive our most careful and serious
consideration. It will be far better
to employ our talent and put forth
all our energies in defense of the
rights and interests of the people of
the State against the fraudulent and
corrupt acts of railroad rings aud
monicd'combinations, than to suspect
the motive and traduce the character
and reputation of a man whose pa
triotism through a long and eventful
public life has never been questioned,
and whose celebrity, if not in our
opinion eommensuratewith, certainly
approximates our own; although in
so doing we might so shape the poli
ties of the Democracy of this State as
to accomplish the purpose of a small
ring organized in the interest of a
prospective United States Senator,

aud Allen’s in Paris) arose, which for
a time almost threatened the aban
donment of the undertaking; but at
length a sufficient number of articles
were prepared to be revised by Smith,
and the first number came ont early
in October, 1802.
The success was far beyond any of
our expectations. It was so great
that Jeffrey was utterly dumfouuded,
for he lmd predicted for our journal
the fate of the original Edinburgh
Review, which, born, in Kc-l, died tu
1750, having produced only two num
bers! The truth is, the most san
guine among ns, even Smith hintself,
could not have foreseen the greatness
of the first triumph any more than
we could have imagined the long and
successful career the Review was af
terwards to run, or the vast reforms
and improvements in all our institu
tions, social as well as political, it was
destined to effect. The tone it took
from the first was manly and inde
pendent When it became as much
political os literary, its attitude was
upright and fearless; not a single
contributor ever hesitated between
the outspoken expression of his opin
ions and the consequenoes these
might entail on his success in life,
whether at the bar, the pulpit, or the
Senate.
The great importance of the Re
view cun only he judged of by recol
lecting the state of thiugsat the time
Smitli’s hold and sagacious idea was
started. Protection reigned triumph
ant—parliamentary rejiresentation in
Scotland had scarcely an existence—
the Catholics were unemoncipated—.
the test acts unrepealed—men were
hung for stealing a few shillings in a
dwelling house—no oounsel allowed
to a prisoner accused of a capital of
fence—the horrors of the slave-trade
tolerated—the prevailing tendencies
of the age, jobbery and corruption.
The great success of this publica
tion, three editions being immediate
ly exhausted and a largo permanent
c’rculation established, and the influ
ence of the work in after-times, are
matters well known and universally
felt The first effect of onr Review,
ahs .lately independent of the tradeand
of any party in the oountry, local or
general, was to raise the character and
to increase the influence of periodi
cal criticism. The purpose to which
this influence was devoted was the
promotion of sound and liberal opin
ions upon all questions in Church
and State, leaving the doctrines of re
ligion untouched, and assuming the
duty of submission to the Const itn-
tion as fixed and permanent, the
frame of our government only being
subject to decorous and temperate
comment or discussion. The severi
ty of the criticism on books and their
authors was much, and often juatly,
cbmpMlncd Of; but no orit could ac
cuse it of personal malice, or any
sinister motives. The rule was in
flexibly maintained never to suffer
the insertion of any attack by a writer
who was known, or even justly sus
pected, to have a personal difference
with the author, or other sinister mo
tive ; and if any person had been
found to have kept concealed such
cause of bias upon his critical judg
ment, no contribution would ever
afterwards have been received from
that person. So, if any one had
practiced the deception of concealing
the real authorship, lie was pine*-It
under the ban of prohibition.
It was one benefit conferred upon
literature and scienoc, that men were
led to work at the production of dis
sertations, often of treatises, interest
ing and popular in their composition,
who might never have otherwise en-
From Ilia Mobil# Bagialar, July 7.
The Origin of the Edinburgh
Review.
The story of the foundation of the
Edinburgh Review is well known,
but the following particulars, from
Lord Broughams autobiography,
will be found exceedingly interesting:
1 can never forget Buccleuch Place,
for it was there, one stormy night in
March, 1802, that Sydney Smith first
announced to me Ii is idea of estab
lishing a critical periodical or review
of works of literature and science.—
I believe ho had already mentioned
this to Jeffrey and Horner; bnt on
that night the project was for the
first time seriously discussed by
Smith, Jeffrey and me. I at first en
tered warmly into Smith’s scheme.—
Jeffrey, by nature always rather timid,
was full of doubts ami fears. It re
quired all Smith’s overpowering vi
vacity to argue and laugh Jeffrey out
of his difficulties. There would, he
said, be no lack of contributors.—
There was himself, ready to write any
number of articles, and to edit the
whole; there was Jeffrey, facile prin-
cepe in all kinds of literature; there
was myself full of mathematics and
everything relating to colonies; there
was Horuer for political economy;
Murray for general subjects; besides,
might we not, from our great and
never-to-be-doubted success, fairly
hope to receive help from such levia
thans as Playfiiir, Dugald, Stewart,
Robinson, Thomas Brawn, Thomson
and others? All this was irresistible,
elude the Enforcement
Her sole aim was to amuse the au-
Kowed her rarity for it, and
also an accomplished fad and its pro
visions are being rigidly enforced by
Commissioners appointed for that
purposj. The Constitutional objec
tion to the one is no greater than to
the others. If to insist that tho
Amendments to the Constitution
have no binding effect because they
were never adopted in the maimer
and by the authority Constitutionally
appointed, is revolutionary, so it is
revolutionary to insist upon the un-
constitutionality of the Enforcement
Act It is saiil, however, to insist
upon this tost is to antagonize the
National Democracy.
If, to be true to the Constitution,
Act? It is and Jeffrey could not deny that hg
hud already been the author of many
Important papers in existing poriudi
cals.
The Review was thus fairly begun;
yet Jeffrey’s inconceivable timidity
not only retarded the publication of
the first number (which, although
projected in March, was not pub
lished till October) but he kept
prophesying failure in tho most dis
heartening way, and seemed only
anxious to be freed from the

or fifty thousand dollars a year if he
would’become thehr president But
to all such offers he had the same re
ply—his <hitv in the college fully oo*
upled his time, and he. would not
receive pay where he did not render
‘ s.
service. He refused to receive from
the college anything like so large a
salurv as they desired to pay him, and
when, last year, the trustees deeded to
Mrs. Lee a house uudauuuity of three
thousand dollars, the General respect
fully declined, on Mrs. Lee’s htliulf,

In copying the above the Balti
more Sun of the 11th, says:
The rominisoenoes are taken from
the Christiuu Observer, of Biohmund,
edited by a venerable Presbyterian
clergyman. The sobriety, the self
poise, the unfailing rectitude of in
tention of the Confederate oomman-
der, have been always as well under
stood as his military genius. But the
entire unselfishness of the man is not
perhaps as generally known as we find
it illustrated in the following anec
dotes. It may be the lhshion to en
deavor to render such a man odious
by the designation of “rebel”—once
considered in this country a title of
honor; bnt it may at least be said of
him, as of the rebel John Hampden,
that “the memory of this deceased of
ficer is such that’ in no age to come
but it will more and more be had in
honor and esteem; a man so religious,
and that of prudence, judgment,
temper, yalor, integrity, that he hath
left tew liis like behind him.” Gen.
Moltke has lately said that the great
man is tested, and especially tested,
by adversity. We see below how Gen.
Lee has homo this fiery proof ofyir*
tue. Whilst those who call him
“rebel were revelling in his estate in
the name of patriotism, and while bis
consequent impoverishment and that
of his family held ont powerful in
ducements to receive any honest as
sistance which might be tendered him,
here is what be docs—an example of
disinterestedness, self-sacrifice and
heroic personal independence which
it would be well for the country if
any parallel to it could be found
among those who revile him.

Tlu* example of the late General
Lee in refusing all gifts and declining
to receive compensation for services
not rendered, is worth more to his
country and to all who follow it, than
millions in gold. The foots here
stated will not be forgotten :
In the wiutor of 1864, the City
Council of Richmond tendered Gen.
Lee uu elegant mansion, os some
small token of the high esteem in
which lie was held by the city which
he had so long defended. But the
grand old man replied: “I do not
expect to be in Richmond during the
continuance of the war, and my fam
ily are as comfortable os they nave a
right to expect to he in these times.
I must, therefore, with many thanks
for your consideration, most respect
fully decline your offer. If you have
money to give, I hope you will bestow
it upon my private soldiers, who are
more needy and more deserving than
myself.” »
At tho close of the war offers of
pecuniary assistance poured in upon
him from all sides, but he steadfastly
refused to receive them. An English
nobleman, thinking he would rejoice
in some place of retreat from his af
flictions, wrote to offer him a splen

nuity. lie nobly replied, “I am
deeply grateful, hut I cannot consent
to desert my native State in the hour
of her deep adversity. I must abide
her fortune aud share her lute.”
Soon after he took charge of Wash
ington College he was visited by the
agent of an insurance company, who
offered him the Presidency at a sala
ry of ten thousand dollars. He told
the agent that he could not properly
attend to both. “But, General,” said
the agi nt, ‘ we do not want you to dis
charge the duties. We simply wish
the use of your numc; that will abun
dantly compensate us.”
“Excuse me, sir,” was the prompt
and decided rejoinder. “I cannot con
sent to receive pay for services I do
not render.”
He reoeived many offers of this
sort, and just a short time before his
death a large manufacturing oompa-
