With those who prefer the indolence—the oliut/i
cum dignitatc—of merely literary institutions
we have no quarrel, hut the discipline and pre
cise requirements of ibe military school appear
to be the only refuge from disgraceful insubor
dination left to the Southern parent. We are
led into this train of reflections by the spectacle
of order and decorum presented by the Cadets
—young as ihoy are—in the performance of
tbeir varied duties, literary and military.
But not the least interesting portion of this
week’s pageant is the Lectures and Address by
W. Gilmore Simms—the pride of Carolina’s lit
erature. On Monday night ho cave us a long
and interesting lecture on the Anti-Columbian
history of our country. We have not time to
give even an,outline of those novel speculations,
founded on traditions, discovered ruins and
philological analogies, which link the first dis
covery of the magnificent domain of America
with the enterprise of an age long anterior to
the time of Columbus. Suffice it to say that
the lecture exhibited proofs of historical research
which would do credit to the industry and acu
men of Macaulay, while the eloquence and bril.
Jiance of the language was unsurpassed by the
splendid diction of the majestic Gibbon. Above
all, there was a vein of genuine Southern feel
ing running through the entire speech which
evidenced the con amore labor with which the
speaker had delved among the legends of
early romantic history.
On Wedne|day morning the Cadets were
paraded in front of the Court House, where they
were joined by the Masons, Cadets of Temper
ance, a bright array of ladies, and those citizens
who chose to join the procession. They
then marched to the Garrison,"Colonel W. B.
Wilson acting as Marshal of the day. assisted
by Major Jeq^is, Captain Coward, Lieuts
Seabrook, Law and Abbott. At the Garrison
Convenient seats had been prepared and a ros
trum erected. Around this assembled a large
audience drawn from all portions of the State
eager to bear the distinguished orator and to
feel their bosoms thrill with the recital of the
heroism of their ancestry. They were not kept
long in suspence. Colonel Wilson presented
Dr. Simms to the audience, and rising he de.
livered an oration as splendid a3 it was erudite,
as interesting as it was patriotic. Begining his
exordium with a reference to the celebrated bat
tle-fields which had been baptized in the blood
of heroes and consecrated by chivalrous devo
tion and sacrifice of life, he dwelt for a moment
on the character of those feelings which cause
ns to venerate the dust where rest the brave in
dreamless sleep. From fields rendered illustri
ous by Grecian and Roman valor, the transition
was easy to our Thermopylae—King’s Moun
tain. Here, like the gathering of Scotland’s
clantnen at the pibroch’s sound, or of the. brave
Circassians, from their mountain Ifomes, col- j
lected the undisciplined yeomanry of the two
Carolinas to repell an insolent and cruel though !

announce that this institution has suspended.—
Tbit is, perhaps, owing to the peculiar charac*

is liable fpr its issues, and there is no Hanger of
ultimate loss to the hill holders. The other

preventing competition in credits and making
penal the acts of private citizens which are
authorised to the Bunks—every such law should
j repealed. In other words the present bank-
g system should he abandoned, and trade in
credits or securities of whatever character
should he as free and as untramelled as the trade
in grain or any other article. Let money be in
fact as well as in theory the only legal tender
but leave each citizen, who is capable of atten
ding to his own affairs without a guardian, free
to receive oj to pay in exchange for values
whatever may be agreed upon by the parlies
interested.
The present Bank charters could not perhaps
be repealed nor would it be necessary—Ihe
competition in money and credits which would
grow up tinder* this system of freedom in the
trade of money and credits would so regulate
them ns to render them comparatively harmless
to the community. ’** ' ‘
The effect of these measures would he to give
ua a largo proportion of specie c'yculatipq
which could never be suddenly withdrawn, and
tt> bring an amount of private capital into mar
ket always equal to the demand. If would
prevent the recurence of those heavy losses to
the community from bank ‘failures which have
resulted from the system of chartered Banks
and it would vindicate the immutable law, that
trade—whether in money credits or oilier'things
t-m best regulated, iclun free. ~ v ;

Mechanics* Bank of Macon, and all the'^snks
of Augusta, except the Mechanics* .and .City
Bank, have suspended. Several of the N. Y.
City Banks havexukpended—several old Banks
say,they will not suspend. Some believe t^e
suspension will be temporal, others tbaf it will
be general It is possible that all the Banks in
the State will have to suspend in self-defence.
TWO TO 0.\E AG AINST .THE NEGRO.—The
vote in the Republican Convention in Minneso
ta on striking out the word “ white” in the clause
conferring political rights on “citizens”' was,
yeas, 17; nays, 34.' 'The convention unani
mously resolved that negroes were horn free
and equal to tho white man, hut refused bv a
vote of two to one to admit the negro to the
enjoyment of ihe equality to which they say he
was “horn.” Either they Mo not believe their
own doctrine, says the New Orleans Bee, or
they fly in the face of the laws of God, who,
they say, ‘ created the negro “free and equal”
and endowed him with‘inaliennahl rights.’
[Ex.
While tho abolitionists consider the negro
free and equal’* hy both the Uw of God and
nature, they qualify the admission by 36—30
north latitude—that is north of that line all ne
groes are /Vee; and when they possess riche?,
they- are^Cqtial; and are considered white only
south of that line. . Every action of the free

abolitionists to be insincere in ihe professions

Ornament:-.! Gronnds.
This is the month Jo pbint cuttings of ornament
al shrubbery. Almost everything will strike root
if planted properly this month. After the first-frost,
plant out all fruit and ornamental trees; they be
come imbedded in the soil through the Winter, and
when the Spring comes, the-tree grows off with
out being set back in the leaves --October wil1
prove a pleasant month to work out. The shrub
bery should he pruned wnere it is needed, cleared
of insects, eggs, and manured. Rich vegetable
matter are the only manures that should be work
ed in around woody shrubbery. Mr. Downing re
nds swamp muck, with the addition of lime,
ve found it to be valuable around trees, both
ornamental and fruit And this is the month to
apply it, for two good reasons: lirsr, the swamp*
arc dry now and the mucks easily hauled out; sec
ond the Winter rain? beat down and soften *h®
muck, making it more soluble for the roots to feed
upon in the Spring. Lay out now the plans for
the ornamental ground-' Concoct the plan well,
determine how many trees when full grown it will
*! take-la-line this avenue ; how many shrubs fall
grown it will take to border this walk; and not
because the trees are now email,and the cutting*
thick as English pr«i
ut. 'I*wo thirds oftb*
ornamental grounds are spoiled with two mud'
shrubbery.—To those who would plan ornament
grounds, we would emphatically say, “learn to k'
bor and to wait.”
