Knoia Cou-jxiii, Oxroiti), Ga., I July 19,1871. j Editors San: Various have been tile conjectures ns to the origin of the word commencement tis applied to the occasion of graduating a class of stu dents. I tiiink I have solved the mystery, and to no single circum stance does it owe its existence. Yon will perceive the propriety of this term when wo toll you it is on this day they commence to do and say and dream and hope everything, from the most practical and sensible to the most chimerical and sentimental. Oil this over-memorable day at an early hour the people of the vicinity, and es]Hscially those of the surround ing country, commence to begin to commence to go to the chapel. Hav ing reached there, they commence to struggle for seats, and then they com mence to talk; and when at the same instant we heard a voice proclaiming the beauties and magnitude of a won derful duck aiff, chiming in with sweet cadences of some aurora tulips (two lips) discanting on the tender rythni of Verdi’s last opera, or in trembling tones bewailing the fate of some heart-broken heroine, we com mence to laugh! There are two Commencements on such days. Simultaneous with the commencement of the speaking on the stage, there commences a speaking in the audience. This laudable emu lation on the part of the audience and students at first seems to excite no boisterous rivalry; hut us the chapel commences to he crowded, as the day becomes warm, and the hearts of lovers commence t§ wax warmer, then the rivalry assumes the nature of the fiercest antagonism, and not strango to say the audience inva riably come ofTconqueror. For when a thousand hearts smarting and chaf ing under the piercing shafts of cupid seek relief in pouring out their devo tion iu a hurricane of love-whisper* it is enough to drown the voice of a poor student, though he he uttering Ciceroean eloquence with a tongue of thunder.

Donnell commenced to deliver his SALUTATORY, which abounded in much good hu mor and ironical wit. He is one of four to share the Firt Honor, and we understand well deserves the dis tinction. The Impeachment of Warren Hast- inr/s, although a logical argument delivered hv a good thinker, did not seem to impress the jury. They were probably already satisfied of that gen tleman’s guilt. BISHOP PIERCE here arose and announced his inten tion of delivering a metaphysical dis course on tho respective merits of Silence and Noise. He thought noise on the stage, was quite becoming hut inadmissible in the audience. .Silence was restored, except the tumult of a thousand or so palpitating hearts trembling for utterance. HISTORY, by Mr. Parham, was a fair essay, des ignating three glaring deficiencies in historical writings; hut it was pro fane und sacred history; and the au dience was more specially interested in heart history. TO 11R OR ROT TO BE, “That was the question” with Mr. Harris. He amazed the audience by announcing that he would not speak of woman, neither would lie stir Ro man dust. He received such a cargo of bouquets as threatened to envelope him. .-ESTHETICAL LITERATURE, hv Mr. McGehcc, deserves a place in thatclassof literature, itself, ny vir tue of its elegance, truth and manly vindication of the insults heaped on BLANKS. u Mean BLAME fet TUB SUM OOc*. Al LAWYERS transmitted to the audience, who, at his conclusion, were excited to such a degree as to encore him—something unparalleled in all our ex]ieriunce in college exhibitions. It was emphati cally a Trustee and Faculty speech, and found au echo in the generous heart of every one. MAXIMILIAN, by Mr. Miller, evinced a ready famil iarity with French politics and the Mexican situation. It was an able effort mid won frequent applause from those grown old in law and the science of government Rut the most unexpectedly original six-ocli of flu- day was TOE FUTURE OF THE NEGRO, by Mr. Lewis. He contended that the negro would not be colonized be cause Tie would not willingly leave the country; hut granting this, abo litionists were too penurious and miserly to contribute to such an en terprise, while the Southern people were too poor. Will the negro race become extinct? He thought not.— Will lie ho re-enslaved? This is pos sible—hardly probable. The negro will not consent to it. Will he con tinue to enjoy the privileges of citi zenship? This depends to some ex tent 011 the administration at Wash ington. If a party having respect for principle, obtains power, tho matter will he submitted to the several States, where it properly belongs.— The Southern States will then act wisely, considerately, and do what ever is host for the negro race among But what is to he fiis future con dition as a laborer if still left free?— It is to he feared that his careless, thriftless nature will mako him so worthless that his place as a laborer will he supplied by immigrants. He then must steal or perish. But one great truth is patent to all—the ne gro must, at some time, and in some way, he placed in a condition of com pulsory servitude. It is a require ment of an inexorable law, eternally fixed by an omniscient God. His address provoked much laugh ter and caused a continuous smile to play on (lie faces of those profound 111 law and philosophy, at the wisdom of the modern Solon. THE VALEDICTORY, by Mr. W. G. Smith, was what it pur ports, and what it should be, purely a farewell; and manifested much grati tude for the kind attention and un swerving devotion of instructors and the fondest remembrance of friend ship and associations inseparable from college life. THE BACCALAUREATE, by President Smith; was an effort which, for elegance of diction and delivery, surpassed even the expecta tions of his many friends and ad mirers, who, on many occasions, have been the rapt hearers of his thrilling eloquence. The subjoct was TRUE MANHOOD AND ITS DANGERS AT THE SOUTH. The address abounded in patriotic Southern sentiment, and the. heartiest commendation of the wisdom of our forefathers who framed the Constitu tion and affixed their names and pledges to the Declaration of Inde pendence. He held up as shining exemplars, Jefferson, Washington, Henry and others—true models and examples of pure Southern chivalry— to the graduating class in the life- career now lying before them. He received the profound attention of the audience, and was greeted time and again with tumultuous applause, a marked tribute by those who had refused for three long hours to he aroused by the most eloquent of the senior speakers. Dr. Bledsoe delivers tho address be fore the two literary societies this afternoon at four o'clock. In the evening there will he a reception nnd social promenade (no dancing—no, no 1) at the society nails, which will he the conclusion of the commence ment exercises, nnd to some (senti mentalists), the crowning glory of all 1 More Anon. Dratl Letter*. During the month of Juno, 338,110 letters were sent to tho Dead Lotter of fice. Of these, 235,000 were ordinary domestic letters; 42,000 were local or drop-letters; 28,582 were held for post age, misdirected, or otherwise unmuila- hlo; 2,825 letters were addressed to par ties who had left, and whose whereabouts could not l>oascertained; 3,878 were ad dressed witii fictitious names; 007 were registered letters; 8,750 were letters orig inating in the United States and returned from foreign countries; and 18.2CG were sent from abroad to jioreons in the United States who could not he found. During the same period were returned to the senders, without enclosures, 172,530 let ters; 1,815 letters enclosing in the aggre gate $8,C57 02; 1,801 letters containing drafts and checks; 2,810 with receipts ami other papers of value; 940 with jew elry and other property enclosed! 3,093 containing photographs; 1,345 with small amounts of fractional currency; and 3,- 087 containing postage stamps to different amounts. Goethe used to suy that it is only necessary to grow old in order to be come indulgent. “I see no fault,’ . .said he, “committed by others which Dickens, Scott nnd others, by over- j j | iaro no t myself committed.” Age scrupulous puritans who imaginc that; not generally bring with it the only way of cultivating the mind i cll jty 1 jkc this.

Iu giving our reasonh fur tleoliuing to recognise tho 14tli ami 15th Auh iuI- mentri, so-called, ns part* of tho Counti- tution, wo shall cannno ourselves to tho 15th, as that will cover prettv much tho wholo ground, and bccauso tho moat ob- noxioua part of tho 1-lth can bo Bet aside by Congressional action. 1. The regulation of suiTrago under onr form of government naturally bo- longs to tho States respectively—there it originated nnd properly wna left, and thero it should remain. An attempt to transfer it from tho States to tho Fed eral Government would, in tho language of Alexander Hamilton, l>o “an unwar rantable transposition of power, and a premeditated engine for tho destruction of tho State governments.” 2. This would not be an amendment to the Constitution. Au amendment is an alteration of an instrument by adding, changing or omitting, so thero be no in consistency or repugnancy between tho purposes of tho instrument as amended and the original. This so-called 15th Amendment would mako snch a rad ical chango as is totally inconsistent with and repugnant to the Federal Constitu tion. 3. Every Stato has a right to bo heard in Congress when an amendmeut is pro posed. Ten States were deprived of representation in Congress when this so- called amendment was proposed, thereby most shamefully violating Articlo 1, Soc. 3, of the United States Constitution, which says, “ but each State shall have at least ono representativeand .* rticle 5, which says, “no State, without its con sent, shall bo deprived of its equal suf frage in tbo Senate.” 4. This amendment was never legally proposed. Tho language of the Consti tution is “Congress, whenever two-thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall proposo amendments to this Con stitution.” “Houses” here means fuU houses, while in this instance the repre sentatives of ten States were refused ad mission ; but excluding tho ten unrepre sented States, it did not pass by two- thirds of those present,—the vote being, yeas 35, nays 11, abseut 20; lackiug 1) votes of being the necessary two-thirds. 5. It was never ratified by three-fourths of tho States. A ratification, to be of any value or liavo any effect, must bo made freely and voluntarily bv tho legal ly constituted Legislature of tho State. This was not tho case iu very many of tho States, for force, fraud, and overy other means which futile and unconscionable Radical brains could invent, were made use of to put tbis-measure through. 6. It was never ratified by this and sev eral other States, which were counted to make up tho necessary three-fourths.— Tho adoption of this so-called amend ment would amend tho Constitution of Pennsylvania by striking out tho word “white” in Artiole 3, Sec. 1, but the Con stitution of tho State designates the only way in which it can bo amended, viz: tbo proposed amendment must ho agreed to oy the two branches" of the legislature; then publication must bo mado; again, passed by tho next legislature; then pub lication again, and last it must bo ratified by a majority of the qualified doctors of tho State. Tho language of the Consti tution of tho United States, is, “when ratified by tho legislatures of three- fourths of tbo several States.” It will bo observed that the Constitution does not prescribe tbo manner in which it shnll bo ratified, each Stato being left to decide that for itself, for like all other “powers not delegatedi ” it is “reserved to tho States.” It may be urged that a vote of tho peo ple upon tho amendment is not requirod by the Constitution of the Unitod States. If, however, tho State has tho power, os it undoubtedly lias to designate koto tho legislature shall ratify, and it requires a vote by the electors upon the amendmeut, either before or after the passage by tho legislature, then there can bo no ralijka- lion until approved by a majority of tho electors of the Stato. Members of the Legislature aro sworn to support the Constitution of tho United States and Pennsylvania, and they would violato their oaths did they attempt to admend tho constitution of this State in any other way than that prescribed iu tho constitution. So much for tho so- called Amendments. Wo will not endorse tho ninth resolu tion simply because we, iu common with every thinking man in tho State, not only believe, but know, its concluding sentence to bo a lie. Wo do not think that five men iu this State can bo found who will honestly say that they believe tho 14th and 15th so'eallod Amendments have been adopted “iu tho manner and by tho power constitutionally ap pointed,” and that is simply what it means. Even tho Republicans of Ohio, declined to go that far, and it was ouly by deception and trickery, that 70 men in our convention wero inveigled into it. Now, all this talk about our being una ble to repel these so called amendments amounts to nothing; they never were parts of tho constitution, and therefore cannot be repeuled—they aro mere nulli ties, which radical usurpers and revolu tionists havo been able to enforce us though parti of the constitution, by hav ing control of every branch pf the feder al government All that is necessary is to place tho true friends of civil liberty and constitu tional government iu power, and nothing moro will be heard of these fraudulent amendments ; they, like their authors, will bo hurried so deep as to never more endanger tho liberties or happiness of this country. This we intend to accomplish, not by means of force, fraud, iutimidatiou or threats, but through tho ballot-box and by other constitutional means. *-♦-« Practical ioking has reached the hoighth of bad taste when a “funny” friend to science sent Captain Hall, jnst as he was ou tho evo of sailing, a tin can, carefully selected and labelled “not to bo opened until the Polaris has reach ed tho Arctic seas.” Hut on its passage to the navy-yard for being shipped it met with an accideut, and tho secret leaked out. It was a can of patent axlo grease, with which Captain Hall or his survivors , were affectionately requested by letter to | lubricate the axle of this slow-going world if fouud at the polo. Thomas Lincoln, universally known os “Tad” Lincoln, tho youngest son of tho late President, died at the Clifton House, at Chicago, at 7 o'clock on Saturday morning, of dropsy of tho heart, aged 13. He was taken ill a few days after re turning from Europe. .During his illness his mother has been his almost constant attendant. There luvs alwuys existed th wannest affection between the two, ami Mrs. Lincoln is almost completely pros trated by her affliction. l)o Principles Die? The agitation of what is called the new departure” scheme throughout the country at tho present time, is prolific of a vast deal of ignorance of tho fundn mental principle of political discussion in quarters where wo would have a right to look for better things. Democrats are to bo fouud, os well os Republicans, who fail to apprehend their positions or their duties in relation to tlitmselvos, their country and their oppo nents ; and tho cry of such papers os the World and u few others, aided by the Radical press in g« acral, that tho Demo cratic party lias «/. jvnirtl from its creed, creates disgust in the minds of some and confusion and alarm with others. To this latter class and to those of the Democratic party who tiro willing for tho sake of a short-sighted time-serving scheme to stultify a priuoiple, wo desire to say a few explanatory and appealing words. Tho note of tho campaign of '72 was sounded by tho able and patriotic ad dress of the Democratic members of Oon gress, which wo published a few weeks ago, wherein they mado up tho issue upon but throe propositions between radicalism and democracy. Tho tariff, that fosters corruption and produces op pression, tho corrupt and extravagant au- ministration of tho federal government, and thirdly and mainly, the dangemus centralizing lcinternets anil acts of tho rod- icpl party, wero mado tho points of at tack by tho democracy. Tho warfaro thus begun by tho demo cratic party is aggressive—wo are not the defcuco on a solitary point, and we do not propose to be diverted from our attack upon these soro ami objective points by auy side issues or skirmishing in any quarter whatever. Governor Hoffman, of this State, iu his able and patriotic letter to tho Tam many Society ou tho 4th of July, which will be found on tho first page of this paper, presses some of these points iu vigorous and lucid stylo. Tho Governor very properly makes the centralizing tendencies of radicalism the main point of attack, and says substan tially that tho acceptance or adoption of two or threo political wcathcr-coeks of radicalism, called tho new amendments, is uo longer a question at issue. It is settled that these amendments, are iu form a part of tho fundamental law of tho land, and as such they are to bo re garded until thoy are declared otborwiso. Wo warn our democratic friends that this talk about a new departure is unjust to its author, Mr. Vallandigham, whoso declarations concerning thoso amend ments, have been perverted by tho radi cals into giving a democratic sauction to all that tho democracy bus fought so dos perately for tho past ten years. Principles never die, and wo wero right iu 1850, and in 1860, 1861, '68, and 70, wo cannot go wrong by advocating tho samo ideas iu 72, or '82. A princi ple is tho samo under all circumstances, and no lapse of time, or unusual upturn ing of events can chango its application or operation iu any future howsoever dis tant ; and wo therefore place ourselves on tho sido of those who aro consistent, whether they aro successful at first or not.—doshm Republican, (Democratic) New York July, 13, 1871. About Gon. Jubal Kurly. Evans, of the Hillsboro’ (N. (J.) Recorder, has been in Richmond again. He was at (he Ballard, and saw Gen. Early, which called up these reminiscences of the war: Wq met Gen. Lane to-day at tho Dul lard and ho introduced us to Gen. Early. Old Jube” is the samo old war horse as when ho used to ride humpbacked and cany his aids right up to tho lino of bat- tlo to “soo how tho fight was going.” We remember when he was in oommand of Hill’s corps (Hill being sick) ho had Gen. Hill’s cousins, Dick, wo think—at any rnto ho was a quartermaster—acting aid for him. “ Let’s rido down to tho lino,” screeched tho old General, and ofl’ they galloped. Hotter and hotter got tho fight, and nearer and nearer the old General and his aid. Whiz, zoo, corno tho ballots, and Hill says ho felt awful curious, but too proud to “show auy.” “Take a drink ?” said tho Gener al, offering a flask. Hill clutched it.— “Touch it light,” said tho old vet., ‘there'’s hardly enough for ns both.”— Still thoy kept on riding. Whiz, zoo, zoo. “It’s getting right warm,” said tho General. “Very warm, sir,” replied Hill. Rode on again. “I’s right hot,” quoth 'old Jubal.” “Dam hot sir,” emphati cally spoke Hill. Now they wero right behind tho lino of battle. “Suppose wo dismount,” (Hill was dowu'and behind a tree) said tho Goucral. And ho got down nud looked on liko ho was in a catttlo show; then turning to QiU, said, in that keen, piping voice of hiss “We’ll return, now, Captain,” and Iliii, iu a trice, was in tho saddle, and “over tho hills and faraway.” Captain Hill, who was a good and gallant officer, often told this on himself and en joyed it heartily. OKNEHAD EARLY ON T1IE “TAR ICEELS.” “God bless tho tar heels. Rhodes told me, before ho died, ho had one in his division who always fought without his shoes, uud,” said he, “that man bus got fifteen hundred dollars in greenbacks, now, ho has taken from the dead Yan kees.” WHO TUE GENERAL ADMIRES. Give me the men that fAiight with their shirt-tails out oiul their knees with hole in them. I always love to moot them.” Singular Adventure with llecs. A Missouri pqicr contains a ro mance of which a Mr. Haynes and his little sou are jointly the heroes. Ah the story runs, thoy were in tho field, when a swarm of bees alighted upon the boy, covering him from head to foot; thoy hung upon his ears, chin and nose in great hunches, and clung in thick clusters to every part of his body. Mr. Ilaynes, real izing the dangerous situation in which his child was placed, commanded him to stand quite still. This the brave little fellow did, until tho bees had all settled. Mr. Haynes then took a stick, gently lifting tho boy’s hat from lus head and placed it upou a neighboring bush, when the entire swarm left their extroordiuaiy resting place and took to the hat and bush. Strange to relate, the l>oy received onlv one sting, and that was caused by his seizing witii his teeth a bee that was trying to make its way into his mouth. Gen. Early and Gcu. Mali one. A correspondence between these gentlemen, says the 8 a van nail News, is published in the Lynchburg pa- l>ers. Gen. Early requests Gen. Ma- itone to correct curtain errors made in a biography of tin? latter some time since published in the Histori cal Mamzine. Gen. Mahone explains how the objectionable references to Gen. Early aiqieured, ami promises to rc-pnblish the article divested of them. Then comes tho following note, which indicates that there has been a more serious correspondence between these two gallant officers: Lyncuduiuj, July 11, 1871. ▼General—Tho action of Gen. Bradley T. Johnson and Col. Robert E. Withers, in conjunction with Capt Ham.

Iff. -0 A “Whopper.” We find this item in tho Augusta Con stitutionalist of yesterday : Yellow Fever in Savannah.—We learn that a genlleman of this city received letter from a friend residing in Savannah, cautioning him from visiting that place (as he proposed doing) as “ Yellow Jack” had made his appearanco, aud several persons died from yellow fever. Of course wo are nnahlo to judge of the truth of tho rumor, but should it bo true the authorities of Savannah should make the facts public. We can ossuro tho public that there is not tbo slighest ground for the above statement, und what could have inllu- oncod any residont of our city to utter so malicious a falsehood, we cannot divine. Not a caso of yellow fever has occurred in Savannah the present season, and the city was never healthier in tho month of July, despite tho almost intolerable hot weather. Wo havo the best authority for this statemout. Our bills of mortality are published weekly to-day, and tho pub lic may rely on tlioir correctness. The above we find in the Savannah Republican of the 19th. In the same paper appears tho regular weekly bill A>f mortality, from which we learn that tho deaths for the weok ending July the 17th were 10 white adults, 2 white infants and 8 colored—mak ing a total of 20—which is precisely the record of the corresponding week of 1870.

It is thought tlmt tho Mr. Washington who ia described in tho “Journal of ■ Young Lady {in Virginia” as paying a nocturnal visit to tho bed-room ol young ladies dressed in a woman’s short gown and petticout, aud overwhelming thorn with kisses, nnd afterward nearly scaring them to death in the cellar, was not (ioorgo Washington, tho Father of his Country, hut a Mr. Corbin Washington. Indeed there is somo doubts expressed os to tbo authenticity of the book which contains tho account of this affair. The incident related occurred in 1782, and al though tho Revolutionary War was brought to a closo in that year, tho young Indy that kopt this history of daily events lias not onco mentioned the war, or allu ded to a singio incident of it. There is not a military titlo given to any person in the book, although tbo Imttlo of York- towu bad licon rooontly fought at her very door. Ouo thing ia certain. If this story about Oeorgo Washington is true, tbo ono about the hatchet is a base false hood. The first President of tho United States migiit have indulged in such a frolic as that described in the young laily’s journal, but for the boy who mado tho spoocli about tho uherry tree to have done so would havo boon a moral impos sibility, ►•-* A Singular Storm. Tho Bothnnr (Mo.) Tribune givos an account of a distressing occurrence, which took place at the house of Marion iiamhlcton, six miles from Cuinsvillu, Mo., on the night of the 5th iiiBt. It appears that Mr. Ilam- blcton buried one of his children that lay, which so ulfcctcd his wife us to render her insane, and several neigh bors came iu to stuy with thorn.— Shortly afterwards a violent storm came up very suddenly, and from op posite directions, the clouds of which met jnst above tho house and lot, of which a furious wind sprang, swooped down on llie house and tore its roof to fragments. The roof of a com criti near by was also blown off and carried against tho chimney of the dwelling, which was thrown down in side tho house aud crushed through tlie upper floor, wounding eight of tlie eleven person* in tho house.— Most of those hurt are very badly injured, several bones lieing broken, and in ouo ease the skull fractured.— No other locality seems to have b injured by tlie storm.
