Others, how ever, who were masters of the lan- & , pronounced it a faultless pro- >n, possessing not only the vir tue of grammatical accuracy, but combining also much French spirit aud the piquant vivacity belonging to that people. Miss. B. shares the 2d honor with Miss Reese, and as we 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 amused rather than instructed. . aud0.-OOp.ni. .’and 6.-00 p.m. arrive.. .Thai:!' a 8 uudaya.

Johnson, “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.” L „ „ We have much of a focal character by Pres. Bonnell, was ..an earnest afc.. ordlfflcuU BO ,„ tionj fo ich should 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, Governor and Lieut. Governor.— Shelby County, Ala., Guide, July Oth. 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 mont he and the rest of us had en tered info with Constable to guaran foe him four numbers as an experi ment Various other minor obsUoles (snob as Hornet - * absence in London, From the Christian Observer.

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, to accept it He declined all gratui ties, and thongb a loving people, for whom lie had toiled so heroically, would joyously have settled on him a handsome property, he preferred to earn his daily bread by his personal exertion, and to give nis people an example of honest industry. 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.

Oa., i 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 did country seat and a handsome an 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- Uutlor'a Goodrich Reader, i .Vnr First Header.
