A rising nation, spread over a wide and fruitful land, traversing all the bcos with the rich productions of their industry, engaged in commerce with nations who feel power and forget right, advancing rapidly to destinies beyond the reach ormortol eye; when I contemplate those trauscen- dant objects, and seo tho honor, tho happiness, and the hopes of this beloved country committed to the Issues and auspices of this day, I shrink from the contemplation, and bumble myself before the magni tude of the undertaking. Utterly, indeed, should 1 despair, did not the presence of many whom 1 here aco remind me that, in the other high authorities provided by our constitution, I shall find resources of wisdom, wisdom,of virtue, and of zeal,on which to rely under all my difficulties. To you, then, gen tlemen, who are charged with the sovereign functions of legislation, and to those associated with you, I look with encouragement for that guidance aud sup port which may enablo us to steer with safety tlie vessel in which we are all embarked, amid the con flicting eloments of a troubled world. I know Indeed that some honest men fear that a republican government cannot] bo strong; that this government U not strong enough. But would the honest patriot, in the full tide of successful experi ment, abandon a government which basso far kept us free and firm, on the theoretic and vissionary fear that this government, the world's best houo, may, by poslbility, want energy to preserve itself ? I trust not. I believe this on the contrary, the strongest government on earth. I believe it the only one where every man, at the call of the laws, would fly to the standard of tho law; and would meet invasions of the public order of his own personal concern. Some times it is said that man cannot be trusted with the government or bimseir. Can he then be trusted with the government of others 7 Or have we found angels in the form of kings to govern them? Let history answer this question. Let os then, with courage aud confidence pursue our own federal and republican principles; our at tachment to onion and representative government—- Kindly sopareted by nature and a wiue ocean from the exterminating havoc of ono quarter of tho globe; too high-minded to endure the degradations of the others; possessing a chosen country, with room enough for our descendants to the thousandth and ten thousaudth generation ; entertaining a duo sense of our equal right to the use of our own faculties, to the acquisition of our industry, to honor and confi dence from oar fellow-citizens, resulting not from birth, but from our actions and their scuse or them ; enlightened by a benign religion, professed indeed and practiced in various forms, yet all of them incul cating honesty,truth,temperance, gratitude, aud the love of man, acknowledging and adoring an over ruling Providence, which, by all its dispensations, proves that It delights in the happiness of man here, and his greater happiness hereafter; with all these blessings what more is necessary to make us a happy and prosperous people 1 Still otic thing more fellow- citizen*—a wise ana frugal government, which shall restrain men from injuring oneanother, shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor tho bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government, and this is necessary to close the circle of oar felicities. About to enter, fellow-citizens, on the exercise of duties which comprehend every thing dear and val uable to you, it is proper that you should understand what 2 deem the essential principles or our govern ment, and consequently those which ought to share its administration. I will compress them within the narrowest compass they will bear, stating tho gener al principle, but not all its limitations. Equal and oxact Justice to all men of whatever state or persua sion; religions or political; pcaco, commerce,and honest friendship with all nations, entangling alli ances with none; the support of the State govern ments in all their rights, us the most competent ad ministrations for our democratic concerns, and the sorest bulwarks against anti-republican tendencies; the preservation of the general government in its whole constitutional vigor, as tho sheet anchor of our peace at home and satety abroad ; a jealous care of the right of election by the peopio ; a mild and safe corrective of abuses which are lopped by the sword of revelation, where peacefa! remedies are unprovided; absolute acquieaence in the decisions of the majority, the vital principle of republics, from which there Is no appeal but to force, the vital principle and Imme diate parent of despotism; a well disciplined militia, car best reliance in peace, and for the first moments or war. UU regulars may relieve them ; the suprema cy of the civil over the military authority—economy in the pabllo expense, that labor may be lightly burthened; tho honest payment or our debts, and bs- cred preservation of the public faith ; encouragement of agriculture, and oi commerce as its handmaid: the diffusion of information, and arraignment of all abuses at the bar of public reason; freedom of re ligion ; freedom of tho press, and freedom of person, under the protection of tho habeas corpus; and tried by juries impartially selected. These principles form the bright constellation which bos gone before os, and guided, oar steps through an age of revolution and reformation. The wisdom of our sages, and blood of our heroes, have been devoted to tnelr attainment they should be the creed of our political faith ; the text of civic instruction ; the touchstone by which to try the services of those we trait; and should we wander from them in momenta of error or alarm, let us hasten to retrace our steps, and to regain the road which alone leads to peace, liberty and safety. Relying then on the patronage of your good will, I advance with obedience to the work, ready to retire from it whenever yon become sensible bow much bet ter choice it is In your nower to make. And may that infinite Power which rules the destinies of the universe, lead our councils to what is beat, aud give them a favorable issue for your prosperity. Virginia Girls.

Editors: —Unavoidable circumstances have prevented mo from sooner giving you a short notice of the commencement of tbo Southern Female Col lege, at Lagrange, which took place on the 20th of July last. High as our expectations had been raised from the wide-spread reputation of tills deservedly popular seminary, they were more than realized. It has been long Indeed since the citizens of Lagrange, and the pntrons of this institution, have boon so much grati fied as on tills occasion. The admirable essays of tbo graduates, the interesting character of the exercises, the larzo aud attentive audience, together with the surpassingly beautiful and appropriate address of the Hon. Robert fcl. Charlton, conspired to render tho day more than ordinarily interesting. The yonng ladies of the graduating class, from what we could ace for ourselves, as well as from the unanimous report of thoso who were best qualified to judge, exhibited unusual talent and promise. It is rare to aee a class of that number presenting intellect ual capacity so uncommon, culture and attainments so high, and mental training so thorough. It must be highly gratifying to their instructors that some or this class have received their whole conrso of educa tion at this institution, having risen from the primary department to bo members of a class of which their parents and frlonds, their Alma Mater—their very State—may be proud. The essays struck ns as being of unusual interest and merit, slightly touching upon andovincing acquaintance with the more masculine topics engrossing public attention at tho present day, yet displaying throughout, as well in the choice of subjects as in the manner in which they were han dled, a refinement, eleganco, and delicacy purely fem inine. This Impression must have been general, for wo have never seen essays listened to with such flat tering and noiseless attention or such deep interest. Tills we attribute not only to tho intrinsic merit of tho compositions themselves, but to the admlrablo manner In which thoy were rcud. The fair graduates, ono and all, without raising their voices to an un. pleasant or nn!ady-liko key, were distinctly heard throughout tho large and well-filled hall, plainly show ing that to tho charms of a well stored mind and the valuable and Indispensable accomplishment of writ ing wall, they had added the no leas valuable and far more rare feminine accomplishment of reading well* Then followed a abort, but touching and appro, priate. address by Mr. Baoon, tbe President, to the graduating date, In whlcb, with no word of fulsome flattery or unmerited compliment, be rendered a Juat tribute to tbelr eharaotor and merit as pupils, and their gentle and ladylike deportment, congratulating them on tbe heppy end creditable termination of their courae of study, end with many wlahea for their befort betopena hla lips. So toe thought—wh«n the Judge efroM to address ua. V*iy few words, how ever, bad been uttered, before we discovered that we had entirely mistaken the man. Attention was ■peedlly riveted. All waa new, brilliant and origi nal; sentence after aentenoe of glowing Imagery poured from hie lips, MU he had Mrly elevated and transported hte audience to tha-lklry land, whore features ho ao vividly described. Mot long did h« Un ger among those sylvan shades, but led os on, on, while playful Irony and sparkling humor, touching pathos aud matchless argument, mingled with such pleasing alternation and charming variety, that tbe andience were fairly transported; constantly waver ing between tbe desire for > reatbless silence Jo lore no look.no word.no Intonation of thoir 8peiker's voice, and that of applauding aentlmente and ap peals which went to tbe heart of every one wbo heard them. Tho conclusion of tbe address showed ua that tbe eloquent speaker waa no leu tbe poet, tbe paint er and tho patriot than tho orator, and carried us one and all to the highest pitch of euthuslasm. Not a mau, woman, or child wasproaeat who was not de- lighted, for the day’s exercises constantly deepening in Interest, had so effectually absorbed tiio attention of all, that not ono bad bad a moment’s leisure for fatigue or weariness, and tbe only regret at tbe close or the oration was. that it was ended. We had heard of Judge Charlton, his ability, hla eloquence, bis talent, but truly Indeed tho half bad not been told. By his visit to LaGrangc bo bos made many new and fast friends, and we hope that Georgia may long be able to retain him In her service in the Senate of tbo United States. Long may ho livo, an honor and a blessing to hia native 8tatc, and long may the Southern Female College continue to pros per, and may she liuve the good fortune of graduat ing many such classes os tho ono whoso diplomas wo have just seen swardod. Georgia may well be proud of her literary institutions, her pupils and her ora tors. an Observer. Extract of a letter from a gonlleman &t Nowportton friend Savannah and Charleston Railroad, have been gratified to obeenre the fkrorable considera tion which tho editors of the Georgian bare given to tho projected Eftvaunnh and Charleston Railroad. Their views of this connection aro sustained by what I conceive to bo the public policy and commercial Interests of Savannah. The construction of this road may be regarded as a fixed het—a fait accompli. Theexprecslon of public sentiment In Charleston, and tho proceedings of public meetings, re. cently held along tho proposed lino of the raid, all indicate a settled purpose—and the ability to execute thU purpose will not be doubted. Already a committee hae been ap pointed to obtain a charter from the next leginlature of Carolina, and the company will bo formed Immediately thereafter, for ulterior action. This road will be built np to the banks of the Savannah river, exclusively within Carolina, under a charter from that State. Whatever speculative opinions may bo enter tained ol tho effect of this road upon the prosperity of Sa vannah. there can bo no difference of opinion oa to the duty aud necessity of Savaunab. She should frankly favor this enterprise, which, If she could, she cannot dofeat. She must take such an actlvo Interest In the road os to givo direction to 1U councils the most advantageous to her in terests. Those interests are largely Involved in the ques tion* of male and place, where and how, the Savannah river is to be cru.'ied. Shall it be crossed at Union Ferry, Hut chinson's Island, or Puryiburgh? Shall there bo bridges, or steam ferry boats ? Hie comparative advantages and di-advantages of these different modes and places must be discuucd and determined aooner or later. Apathy, Indifference or opposition, will not dofeat nn en terprise, which Carollnn has determined to prosecute. Sa vannah rew.lved to build up to Augueta, against the indif ference of that city. It has been done. Savannah did not like the projected Rrunswick and Thoraasville road. To meet this possible event, she has wisely adopted the true policy of Upping that road. And so, she will stand ready to recover what aho would lose by this passible event.— Were there, however, no Iirunswlck In existence, the Sa vannah and Florida road would bo built. The Charleston road will bo an elomont of prosperity to Savannah. If its trade would go to that city by this road. It would equally do *o now, by the cheaper conveyance of tteamer*. It would do so now, were there any superior at tractions In that market. Froduco will go to the nearest market, unless It bo paid to go further.

Tb* first oar of the ekcarelon train was broken to pieces, tho tender being driven through It. The second car was not so much Imured, bnt was driven through into tho third car about naif iu leugth. Tbd five rear cars were only partially damaged. In tbe tint passenger car there were only twolve or Afteen passengers—three or four of whom were killed Instantly, while nearly all the remainder were more or lose Injured. In the llilru cor tho eflbcta of tho collision were frightful. Some of the passengers were killed In stantly, and others received scrione If not ratal inju ries. At tho last accounte fifteen of the passenger* had been tuken out dead, and as many more probably mortally wounded. Several of tbo wounded had their limbs broken and were much disfigured. Among the killed la the fireman of the Uxbridge train. He leaves a wlfo aud two children at that place. The greater portion of tho killed and wounded be longed to Uxbridge and Wbltensville. Mr. J. P.

The train from Providcnco consisted of only two cars—being ono first and ono second class car—near ly all the scats In which were broken up ; none of the passengers, however, were dangerously injured, although al*mthaif of them were badly cut anc' bruised. There wore In all about fifty passengers In this train. Among them was the superintendent or the rimd—Mr. Soiithwick—whose head was badly cut.— Tho superintendent of the transportation department, Mr. Taber, tho clerk of tho road, and Henry Card, tbo conductor, all escaped uninjured. The first assistance rendered to the sufferers was by those who were on board the 7.30 train for Boston from Providence, which left the latter place after the train which came in collision with tho Uxbridge train, and arrived at tho Junction about five minutes after it. The passengers assisted in placing the wounded nn the car which was not injured, and took them back to Pawtucket, to obtaiu medical assistance. Among tho killed is Mr. Fiuney, tho Pastor of Grace Church at Uxbridge. The collision is attributed to the carelessness of the conductor of the Uxbridge train—lie being behind time, and hoping to make it up so as to catch the steamboat. Stilt Another Hnllrond Accident—Outrage- out Attempt to Destroy Life. WllEKLINO, Aug. 12, The Express Passenger train from Baltimore, on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, yesterday afternoon was thrown off tho track when passing through n switch at Cameron, 27 mites from this city. The ball, or lever, fell down, which, by changing tbe track, threw three of the cars, crowded with passengers, en tirely off. They were upset, but strange to say, out of over 100 ladies and gentlemen, not ono was killed or even seriously injured. Some 20 or 30 are slight^ • braised and scratched. John V. L. McMahon, of Bal timore, wbo was in the train, was buried in coal dust, but not in the least degree injured. An investigation into tbe causes of the disaster, by tbo officers of the road, establishes that tho switch had not been used Hint day. aud hnd been properly placed and secured alter being last used, but that at about an hour pre vious to the urcident two men, lately discharged from the Company's service, had been seen handling the hull, and it is supposed they designed to run the train off, us a matter of revenge.

Thu doctor took uptiUhat and started, the negro following; and so soon as they reached the spot where Hie runaway was stationed both negroes fell on him, one with a club and the otiier with an axe, and killed him. His head was completely split open with tim uxo. The villains then went to tiio Iiouhc, and both ravished the wife. They then Killed her, then killed the child, then robbed the house, and set fire to it and burned it up. Dale's ne gro lias been taken, and confessed these facto. Here was evory crime tlmt human beings could possibly commit at the same time—murder, rape, robbery,and arson. The cup of iniquity is full to the brim. The atrocity of the deed is unparalleled in the annals ot crime.

Our exchanges bring us uniform accounte of con tinued wet weather, and consequent injury to the growing crop of cotton. The complaint is universal that tho rains lmvo accelerated the growth of the plant to an extraordinary degree, causing the young forms to fail off, the grown bull* to rot, and retarding the early maturity of those that escape destruction by tho unusual degree of moisture. The opinions prevail in many portions of the o untry tlmt the yield will not reach more than half. Some contend that the crop will Iks an average one. while a much greater number insist tlmt it will fall #hort of one-half. The effect of this general belief will be, that the planters, confiding in tho limited production, nnd the conse quent advance in prices, will delay sending their crops to market. \Ve may, therefore, look for light receipts, during the catly part of the Hoa«on at hand.
