Editorial Correspondence of the Recorder.
Oxford, Ga., July 22,1853.
Oxford is emphatically a village in ambush. The
Faiences, which are generally neat and spacious,
scattered over an area of a mile or more in ex
t: thus affording ample elbow and breathing
r m, and allowing to almost every resident, a min-
. ire farm for the cultivation of peas as well as phi-
• fhy. So entirely sequestered are the inhabitants
in their dense classic groves, which nature with
cj iracteristic munificence has furnished them with-
f u charge, that it is with some difficulty they are
wal, or more properly speaking their homes ; for
is no place have I witnessed and experienced a
®?rc- prompt and cordial meeting and greeting of
i ts than at Oxford. Without doubt, the high
cird tone of society here, the pure air and water,
tie delightful seclusion and quietude of the place,
combine to render it a most desirable location
' the culture of the classics, and the education of
foang men.
1 lid not reach here until Monday evening, and
therefore was not present at the dedication of the
xiv College Chapel. The commencement and
'-"'iieaiion sermon was delivered by the venerable
Bishop Capers. His text was taken from the 87th
halm: “ The Lord loveth the gates of Zion more than
4 1 the dwellings of Jacob, Sfc.
The discourse of this justly esteemed and popular
1 me, I am informed, was eminently appropriate
t- the occasion, and was listened to by a deeply
; '.crested and impressed auditory. Tbe Rev. Dr.
Evict Pierce; “the old man eloquent,” preached,
' am informed, a very profound and able discourse,
03 Sabbath afternoon. I regret to say that the
health, of this venerable minister is quite feeble.
The Sophomore prize declamation took place on
Ti'day night, and the 1st prize was awarded to
Thos. H. Muse of S. C. The 2d to John Rylander,
Jhicon, Ga. The prizes were presented in a very
“ aeand eloquent address on Wednesday, by Prof.
T M. Smith. It is a pity this address should not
rive occupied a place in the programme, where
“-'•’■cal merits would have been better appreciated.
The Junior Exhibition on Tuesday morning was
“highly creditable one.
Tuesday afternoon, an address was delivered
■' ^resident Pierce. His theme was Emory Col-
- —its rise and progress—its past struggles—
f -sent embarrassments and future prospects, and
general interests of education in our State. It
' ,as every respect a most able aud eloquent vin-
" a ‘*on of liberal learning ; exhibiting its salutary
1 ' ts upon all tbe great pursuits and achievements
this stirring and progressive age, and clearly de-
. ‘ titrating the necessity of diffusing tnrough the
'i politic and rc-ligious, as a conservative elc-
nt > against the encroachments of a lawless and
•‘pant progressive spirit, sound, practical knowl-
:e - That riie effort was successful, was demon-
; r *ted by tp c p ronl pt contribution of 2,500 dol-
‘ -to liquidate the debt upon the new Chapel,
I am happy to say is growing beautifully
' Ss >and should long since have been extinguished,
Ta the evening a very chaste and interesting ad-
3S was delivered before the Alumni of tlie Col-
Ef?e > by Mr. II. R. Harris.
Ihe new College Chapel, presents quite an im
;' ,<ln g appearance. The style of its architecture is
J ,ric - It is 135 feet long, by 75 feet wide, and
r,,!a the base to the top of the cupola, 107 feet high.
- the first story, there are six recitation rooms, be-
‘wo rooms used for the chemical labaratory
•' puilosophical apparatus. The Chapel proper,
■tithe second story, and 90 feet long by 75 wide,
: -h a gallery on three sides. On the same floor'
and back of the Chapel are two rooms each 45 by
Jo feet, one containing the library, the other the
museum. Above these are two more rooms of the
same size. The entire cost of this large and hand
some edifice, is $15,000. Besides this main build
ing there are four others occupied as dormitories;
also two elegant brick halls, the one the property
of the Few, and the other of the Phi Gamma So-
cicty-. The Chapel is cf brick, rough-cast.
In front of the Chapel, stands securely enclosed,
a tasteful monument commemorative of the founder
of Emory College—Rev. Dr. Few.
\V ednesday was commencement day. and tlie
crowd large. Tlie speeches of the young gentlemen
of the graduating class were generally good and
well delivered. They were, with but few exceptions,
too long, however. This was also true of the Junior
and Sophomore Reclaimers. When will speakers
learn that ‘‘brevity is the soul of wit ?”
The Baccalaureate Address was brief, appropriate,
practical, impressive. Long may it be remember
ed, by the graduating class.
On Wednesday afternoon the Literary Societies
were addressed by the Hon. Robert Toombs. Al
though the distinguished speaker was laboring un
der indisposition, and was interrupted by a storm,
he nevertheless enchained, with his impressive elo
quence, a very large audience, for an hour aud a
half or more. I understand, his able speech will
be published.
The exercises were agreeably enlivened at inter
vals by excellent music, from your “ Milledgeville
Brass Band.”
Thus closed the exercises of this interesting liter-
ary festival—leaving upon the minds of the numer
ous spectators, a very favorable impression, relative
to the meritorious character of Emory College.
I am told that some few thought the young men
in their speeches paid too high and frequent trib
ute to the memory, character, and worth of Daniel
Webster. This, I presume, was quite incidental.
He was, however, referred to by them uniformly,
not as a mere politician or statesman, but as a man
of gigantic mind and vast intellectual resources.—
I trust the names of Clay, Calhoun and Webster
will always be fondly cherished by the American
heart, and uttered with respect by American lips.
But I must close. Below you will find a pro
gramme of the Exercises on commencement day.

Madison,.Ga., July 28, 1853.
I wrote you last from Oxford, a place abounding
with attractions, and from which I reluctantly tore
myself away. Having a few days of leisure, I look
ed in upon Athens, and spent a very pleasant but
somewhat laborious Sabbath with its intelligent
and hospitable citizens. The number of visitors to
this and other towns in upper Georgia, is unusually
small, I learn, this season—nevertheless, Athens
looks quite prosperous and its business and popula
tion are steadily increasing. A large crowd is ex
pected to attend the Commencement next week,
and preparations are being made accordingly. I
regret that my engagements will not permit my at
tendance. I had the pleasure of meeting with Dr.
Church, the venerable and cherished President of
the State University, and regretted to learn from
him that his health is somewhat impaired. Long
has lie been associated with the great interests of
liberal learning—long may he yet live to see the
glorious fruits of his labors and those of his worthy
coadjutors iu this good cause.
I arrived at this charming village on Monday,
and found quite a number of visitors from different
parts of this and other States in attendance upon
the examination of the students attached to the
Madison Female College. This Institution, you
are aware, is under the patronage of the Methodist
Church, and is in a very flourishing condition. The
President, the Rev. L. L Witticli, by liis eminent
qualifications and untiring assiduity, in association
with other “worthy and well qualified” gentlemen,
has established it upon an enlightened and enlarg
ed, nn d I doubt not, permanently prosperous basis.
Although Mr. Wittich’s health is precarious, his
valuable supervision will be continued to the insti
tution.
Tlie Commencement Exercises, including the
Concert, were throughout highly satisfactory and
entertaining, and numerously attended. The ser
mon cf Dr. L. Pierce on Sabbath morning, I am
informed, was able and appropriate. An eloquent
discourse was preached by Dr. Means at night. Mr.
Hull's Address on Thursday was quite chaste and
eloquent; indeed,it was redolent with tlie flowers
of rhetoric, and by no means devoid of sound prac
tical argument and reasoning. I could not en
dorse, however, all the positions of the worthy ora
tor, upon the subject of female education. But I
must have a care what I say, lest I tread upon un
constitutional ground. By the way, you have
doubtless seen the childish and ungentlemanly at.
t a ck of the Augusta Constitutionalist upon me, be
cause I could not endorse all tlie views uttered by
Judge Johnson in liis address at Macon. Now,
what are tlie facts in the case ? Mr. Johnson de
livered a public address, before a large and promis
cuous assembly, in which he took occasion to pre
sent some of the peculiar ideas or views embraced
bySwedenborgians. On this account, I felt it to
be my duty as well as my prerogative, to call m
question tbe appropriateness of the occasion, for
the dissemination of such sentiments. I did not
say that Swedenborgian doctrines were right or
.vrong. I made no attack upon the private chai-
aeter of Mr. Johnson.
I have never urged that his religious views dis
qualify him for the high office to which he aspires.
I alluded to his address in my letter from Macon,
and in my note from Kingston, in the most respect
ful terms. Had a Methodist, Baptist or one attached
to anv other religious denomination, selected a sim
ilar occasion for the diffusion of sectarian tenets, it
would have been deemed highly inappropriate and
distasteful, by every unprejudiced mind. there-
ore I noticed the address at all, I had to do it n\ ith
ome qualification. I most cheerfully join the Con-
fiitu.ionahsl in the wish that the whole address may
be published, now that it has so wantonly and dis
courteously assailed me for exercising a privilege
never before denied a public journalist. A learned
gentleman on the platform noted down 1 believe
several sentences, which if necessary I presume,
can be produced in proof of the accuracy of my
impressions. But let Mr. Jolinson furnish the ori
ginal manuscript and it will be published in the Re
corder entire. If therefore theology is mingled in
the present political canvass the responsibility rests
not upon your correspondent, but his assailants.
Madison Female College.
The undersigned; attending the Commencement
Exercises of the Madison Female College, as a
Board of Y i-itors, take pleasure in presenting the
following statement to the public, as the result of
their enquiries and observations :
This Institution is located in one of tlie most ac
cessible and beautiful villages at the South. For
intelligence, morality and refinement, the Society •
of Madison, is probably not surpassed by that of |
any other community in our State.
The College edifice is a large and handsome |
building, three stories high, and its lecture and re- j
citation rooms and chapel are spacious and airy, * 1 * * * * *
and admirably arranged for convenience and com
fort. The institution is furnished with a superior
set of Philosophical and Chemical Instruments, for
experimental illustrations iu these departments of.
Natural Science.
In the Musical Department there is a liberal sup- J
ply of excellent instruments, and instruction is giv-il
en on the Piano, Harp, Guitar and Yriolin.
Although this Institution is yet in its infancy, i’.^
has already secured and shared an amount of pub-J
lie confidence and favor, most gratifying to its pro-f
jectors and friends, and well calculated to inspire t
the. most sanguine hopes in regard to its future en-f
larged success and usefulness.
The total number of Students in the College de- r
partment, during the*Collegiate year, just expired,
is 135. In the prepara tory department, 35.
The course of study pursued, with the exception
of Greek and Hebrew, embraces nearly all those
branches of learning usually taught in our male col
leges.
The examination of pupils commenced on Mon
day', and continued until Wednesday noon. In eve
ry department of study, it was elaborate and thor '
ougli—exhibiting convincing proofs of commenda- •
ble industry on the part of the pupils and thorough
tuition by the Board of Instruction. Indeed, we
hesitate not to say, that the system of intellectual
culture and mental discipline in this institution is
most rigid and wholesome.
Nor has tlie deportment of the young ladies been |
overlooked. In the social and family circle, as well ,
as in the recitation room, tlieir manners were high
ly dignified, graceful and lady-like.
A discipline, affectionate and parental—a guar
dianship, vigilant and untiring, is exercised by the
Faculty over the students entrusted to their care.—
No pains are spared to shield them from improper
associations and evil communications and habits,
and to infuse into their young minds and implant
in their hearts those sentiments of piety which alike
ennoble and beautify the female character—and we
are happy to believe that their efforts in this very
responsible department of official duty have been
most successful.
The Musical Department is under the able direc
tion and supervision of Prof. G. C. Taylor and Miss
Ann C. Robinson, and the performances of the
young ladies, both vocal and instrumental, in this
very useful and delightful accomplishment, were
highly satisfactory and entertaining. YVe con
sider the institution most fortunate in securing
in this department such eminent talent and worth.
The Chapel was decorated by some very beautiful
specimens of painting, drawing and embroidery,
showing that tills department has been entrusted
to skillful hands.
On Thursday, a crowded auditory was very
agreeably entertained in listening to the composi
tions of the young ladies of the graduating class.
The subjects were well chosen and discussed with
creditable taste and ability. An elevated and mo
ral tone of feeling was manifest in this interesting
and important department of mental culture, show
ing conclusively, that the heart as well as the head
had been cared for. The compositions were indeed
most excellent in thought and style, and very dis
tinctly and gracefully uttered.
In conferring the degrees, the worthy President
imparted some very wholesome advice to the young
ladies who were soon to step out upon the theatre
of active life, assume its responsibilities, and encoun
ter its vicissitudes.
The interesting exercises of the occasion, closed
with a very eloquent and beautiful address from
Col. Henry Hull, of Athens, which was received
with marked approbation and pleasure by the au
dience.
In conclusion, the undersigned would take occa
sion to congratulate the public upon the growing
interest every where exhibited in our great State
in the good cause of mental enlightenment. Eve
ry succeeding year witnesses the birth and consecra
tion of some new educational enterprise, for the
more general diffusion of liberal and useful learn
ing among the sons and daughters of our glorious
commonwealth. YVe trust the day is not distant,
when, in intellectual and moral culture, as well as
in natural advantages and physical resources, she
may justly and proudly bear the appellation of the
“Empire State of the South.”

For the Recorder.
Messrs. Editors.—Sometime since I saw it sta
ted in a Democratic fire-eating paper that Mr. Jen
kins had no feelings in common with the people,
but that Judge Johnson was the man for the mass
es. A regular “people’s man.” The Editor cer-
ainly did not know either of the men, or he surely
vould not knowingly aud wilfully have so pervert
ed the truth. “Straws shew which way the wind
blows,” and a little incident which occurred a few
years since will indicate very satisfactorily what
Judge Johnson’s feelings towards the masses are.
During the session cf Pulaski Court, Judge Scar
borough was taken sick and compelled to adjourn
the. Courts in Telfair and Irwin counties. He pro
posed holding those courts sometime, in December,
to winch all persons interested seemed willing, ex
cept Judge Johnson. The Judge asked Col. John
son if he had any other Courts to attend at that
time or any important business to prevent his at
tendance. The “Coon-killer” rose in all the ma
jesty of wrath, and acknowledged there was noth
ing of that kind to prevent him, but said he had no
notion of quitting home and exposing himself and
running the risk of his life by sleeping in their open
log huts, at that inclement season of the year. Well,
there were a good many of these “log hut” men
present and some of them from these same wire-
grass counties, and in a very few minutes there was
a very indiscriminate cursing and very lavish use of
hard names towards this “people’s man,” who was
afraid of risking his life by sleeping iu log huts.—
He seemed to have a perfect horror of log huts,
which I suppose has infected lfim ever since the
days of “Old Tip.”
The wire-grass boys have neither forgotten or
forgiven tins evidence cf his aristocratic notions,
and asffie has a very fine house of his own, they in
tend to let him stay at home. They think that the
man who was afraid to sleep in their log cabins has
no claim to lodge in their white house at Milledge
ville. It might be risking his life to change his
lodgings—or if he got into their house it might
nearly kill him to have to come out again, and so
they will not call on him to expose himself in their
service. “WIRE-GRASS.”
For the Recorder.
Messrs. Editors—As I find it difficult to commu
nicate with those with whom I have acted through
the columns of a newspaper wliich is chiefly read
by them, I must beg you to give me a small space
for a few words.
I think I am quite as sensitive to wrong or cold
ness as any Scott YY'hig—and as a National YYliig
would be as much indisposed to pardon the one or
the other as any one of those with whom it was my
pride to co-operate last year. But I am not accus
tomed to take assertion, however strong, for proof—
or to substitute conjecture and suspicion for fact.—
My self respect—if my sense of justice did not,
would forbid this.
In no instance whatever have I seen or heard of any
thing which authorizes the statement, that Scott
YYhigs have been put aside in consequence of their
being such. So far from this being so, I do not
hesitate to express the conviction that Judge Trippe
or Col. Hardeman would have been nominated and
supported cordially by the YYehster YYhigs had ei
ther allowed the ase of his name before the Guber
natorial Convention.
And evidence of this readiness can be found in
several of the YY T ebster papers before the meeting
of that Convention.
The truth is there was no prominent Scott Whig
in Georgia at all desirous of the honor of a nomina
tion, and as this is unquestionably true, why should
the Scott YY'hig-s complain of the nomination made
on the ground “that Scott Whigs icerc passed over?''
Nor as far as I can learn in tlie Congressional Dis
trict Conventions, did any fooling of hostility to
any gentleman on account of liis being a Scott
Whig control or influence the action of any of those
Conventions. 1 am perfectly willing that my asso
ciates may pursue such a course in the pending
canvass as tlieir YY'hig principles and patriotism
may dictate—without a word of remonstrance or
remark, but I beg them not to act upon misrepre
sentations. A SCOTT YY’HlG.
Extract of a letter from a friend travelling North.
Monday Morning, July 11th.
I took my seat in the New-Haven train for
Bridgeport via Norwalk. According to the rcceuv
enactment of the Connecticut Legislature, th«j
train came to a full stop at the Norwalk draw bridge.
To mo, “’twas haunted holy ground.” But the
waters flowed quietly and peacefully on and not an
indentation is left to mark the fated spot, where so
many of the brave, the bcauriful and the good were
so lately sacrificed.
Bridgeport is a busy and thriving city. “Bar-
num’s palace” is pointed out to the traveller, a con
spicuous object of interest. It needs only the min
arets and crescent to remind one of a Maliomedan
Mosque. This place is also famous for being the
birth place of the renowned Tom Thumb. YY 7 e
left tbe New Ilaven train at this place for the Nau
gatuck Railroad. This road uniting Bridgeport
and YYrinslett is 62 miles in length and passes north
ward through Connecticut up the valley of the Nau
gatuck River from which it takes its name. The
scenery is varied and beautiful. Now aud then we
passed a mountain with a beautiful village snugly j
nestled at its base as if seeking protection from !
“Old Boreas,” who plays many a mischievous i
prank in this region in the winter. Then again,
those sparkling and beautiful mountain streams— 1
so transparent that you may see the speckled trout *
playing beneath its water, or quietly basking upon 1
its surface, as much at ease as if conscious that j
they are safe from all piscatory depredations, and
under the “protection of the law."
The rains in this region, seem to have been fre
quent and abundant, and the trees and fields have
on tlieir brightest summer lively of green, which to
mo seemed surpassingly beautiful, because con
trasted with your region, so recently my home, then
parched and perishing “by reason of drought.”—
Here on this road I had the pleasure of witnessing
“Waterbary’s new plan of car ventilation.” I was
surprised aud delighted to find myself riding in the
cars w ithout a particle of dust or smoke—my lungs
inhaling an atmosphere as pure and invigorating as
when I wandered over the green hills and daisied
meadows. Mr. YYaterbury was liimself the con
ductor of the train. lie is a native of Connecticut,
a young man, with a pleasing intelligent counte
nance and gentlemanly manners. He very kindly
explained his plan to several strangers on board, all
of whom seemed delighted with it. The principle
is very simple. The air is taken in at the tender,
by the motion of the train, and the whole train be
ing so connected that no air can escape, the whole
volume is taken through the ears and passes out at
the end of the train, the door being left open. The
windows were all closed as obstructing the current.
A very simple and satisfactory trial of it was made
a few days since by a gentleman in this vicinity
while riding down the Railroad. Inside the cars,
the thermometer stood at 88, but at one of the de
pots, carrying it out and plating it in a cool and
well shaded situation the mercury immediately run
up to 91—a decisive proof of the value of this new
invention. It is very favorably thought of in. this
vicinity, and several of the Northern roads are
about introducing it. It has already been patented
and I predict a fortune in prospect to the ingenious
inventor. 1 hope it may be introduced upon our
Georgia roads. There will then be no danger as
now, of loosing one’s personal identity by being
covered with smoke and dust or by being tanned as
brown as a chestnut.
One peculiarity struck me with regard to the
maimers of the people of this region. The ride in
the cars was not considered merely a matter of bu
siness, but every body seemed on the lookout for
amusement and instruction. Instead of quietly
sitting down and saying nothing, because they had
never been formally introduced, they all seemed to
imagine that an obstacle very easily overcome, and
soon fell into conversation as naturally and easily
as old acquaintances.
In front of me sat a very polite and gentlemanly
Frenchman—who made advances to me by pre
senting his snuff box, with, “It is good to take
snuff.” I too, was on the look out for information
aud must needs enquire what were the advantages
resulting therefrom, so we were soon engaged in a
lively conversation.
By my side sat a fair and rosy checked lady who
looked not a day over twenty-five, but who, as she
afterwards informed me, was the mother of twelve
children. I could not forbear enquiring if these
Y ankees with their other improvements and inven
tions had not found a “Fountain of Y'outh,” which
prevented their grow ing old.
But I reached YYTinsted, the end of my journey,
and parted with my new acquaintances with some
thing of the same regret with which I recently
parted with old friends. B.
MARRIED,
In Marietta, on the 25th inst., by the Rev. J. L.
Rogers, Dr. E. F. Colzey, of Oglethorpe, and Miss
Mary S. YVallis, of Milledgeville.

DIED,
In Monticello, Ga., on the 22d ult., after a pain
ful and lingering illness, Mrs. Ann Jordan, aged
62 years, consort of Col. Fleming Jordan, and
daughter of the late Thomas and Rebecca Meriweth
er. 8he was loved and honored by her family, and
the community in which she lived regarded her
with the feelings of children for a mother. For ma
ny years a member of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, she adorned the profession she made by a
life of humanity, purity, active benevolence and
charity. Her example was a shining light—ever
the “good Samaritan” in sickness and distress.
From the highest to the lowest, she was the iVtre-«
most inattention, kindness and charity, emulating
her Divine Master by going about doing good. In
her last illness she was sustained by the strongest
and highest assurance of the Christian’s hope, and
she earnestly invited her family and friends to meet
her iu Heaven. Long will her memory be cherish
ed by the community which now, with one accord,
deeply mourn her loss, and in which her acts of kind
ness, like the dew of Heaven, were bestowed upon
all.
On the 22th ult., in Marietta., at the residence of
Dr. Chester, Martha Octave 1 ., infant daughter of
Rev. C. R. Jewett, aged four months and eight days.
On the 26th ult., in Twiggs county. Mrs. Missou
ri H., wife of John Chapman and the daughter of
James and Jane McCrary of Baldwin, aged twenty-
two years nine months and twenty days. She has left
a husband and two children and a large circle of re
lations and friends to mourn tlieir irreparable loss.
£3^ Our friends in Sumter county will have an
opportunity of settling up their accounts in the
early part of next week at their Superior Court.
One of our firm will then be iu attendance for that
purpose.
