Throughout the commencement the workshop of this school was open for the inspection of all interested in tnis depart ment. This school was opened in connec tion with the college in October, 1864. By gifts from friends interested in industral education, north and south, its facilities for practice and instruction have rapidly increased until at present it represents in buildings and appliances an investment of $10,000. So for this department lias met with the most gratifying success. The workshop is conducted as a regu lar manufacturing establishment. Work is done under the idea that it goes into the market with other productions of skilled labor, and must stand or fall by its excellence and merit. Contracts are taken for all classes of wood and iron work.

Our reports from both Harris and Meri wether counties are rather meagre, but show that Grimes has carried Harris, while Meriwether is given to Harris. Telegrams from Harris county say that Crenshaw, the revenue officer for this dis trict, and some of bis deputies canvassed the county actively for Harris and used every means to secure his election in the primary. It was understood by Grimes' friends that Harris was not a candidate and they paid but little attention to the e'ection, hence Harris’ friends were out in force and came near carrying the county. As the situation now stands Grimes will carry the county by a small majority. Harris < riant}. special to Enquirer-Sun.
