One of the moat interesting features of the late commencement exercises at Lexington University in Virginia, was tho address of John Goode, Jr., before the literary societies. Mr. Goode is one of the rising states men of Virginia, a gentleman of admi rably balanced intellect; of temper thoroughly schooled to his command, brave, eloquent and accomplished. He was one of the prominent members of the Confederate Congress, representing * portion of the memorable district which once did similar honors to, and was honered in turn by, John Ran dolph. We regret that a lack of space pre vent* us front submitting to our readers the full text of his able and eloquent address. It is admirably suited to the times, and, while reading it, one can not fail to be impressed with the con ceit that the orator must have been to ®ome extent inspired by tho spirit of the great Virginian, whose remains rest hard by the rostrum occupied on the occasion. The contribution of Mr. Goode to the better spirit which is wel ling up in the popular heart from one *nd of the country to the other, is as frank and fair as it is wise and able, *bd cannot fail to elicit a response from tight thinking and right feeling men everywhere. Its effect upon the young men just going forth to the battle of life could not have been anything but deep and Permanent. We append a few of the most salient Passages, feeling that no contribution of our own pen could so well fill the oolumn editorial Mr. Goode is re ported as follows: The gallant people who survived the have preserved a stainless record of which any people might well be proud. Though abandoned by fortune, they yet escaped disgrace. Though forsaken by the genius of public liber ty) they have yet preserved untarnished the shrine of the public h;*nor. Instead of abandoning themselves to dispart, they have gone to wc rk with a resolute purpose and indomitable will worthy of the heroic race from which they sprang. They have exhibited recuperative en ergies such as no people have ever ex hibited before. Rich and abundant harvests have been gathered*from fields lately trampled by the red-fiery hoof of war. New buildings have been erected in our towns and cities, giving profita ble employment to the mechanic, the artisan and the laborer. New works of internal improvement have been pro jected and are in process of constructipn. Her schools and colleges have been crowded, not only by her own sons, but by the youth of other sections, who have been attracted to her soil no less by the excellence and superiority of her institutions of learning than by the sa cred memories and glorious traditions which belong to her past history. It would be impossible to urge too strongly the duties and responsibilities of the hour upon the deliberate, ear nest consideration of the young men of the South. The obligations of patriot ism demand that you shall not sit down and fold your arms in ignoble and in glorious ease. Ydfe must enter the con tests of life with strong arms and stout hearts, or be contefe to forfeit all its bright and magnificent rewards. Thd voices of the past come mingling with the voices of the present, and they all constrain you by every consideration of interest and of honor to dedicate to the service of your native land the highest energies of your nature and the noblest powers of our souls. While it becomes a pious and sacred duty to preserve its noble traditions and cheerish its .holy memories, it must not be forgotten that to tne keeping of the young men of tho South will soon be committed her future destinies and all her hope3 -of pro>perity and happiness. You uiust grapple heroically with the issues of the living present, aud not re ly exclusively upon the exploitsof those who have-preceded you in the battle of life. An eminent British classic has beautifully said that “to the future and not to the past looks true nobility of soul.” Far be it from me to inculcate a spirit of hostility and vengeance toward the people of any portion of our common country. Far be it from me to rekindle the animosities and hates which were inseparable from our recent san guinary struggle. On the contrary, k is the earnest aspiration of my heart that those animosities and hates shall be forever buried, and that the white wings of the sweet messenger of peace may once more overspread the entire land. There is nothing which the people of the South more ardently desire than lasting and enduring peace. • DUTIES OF THE FUTURE. But, while I deny that the sword has ever settled or can ever settle any ab stract question of right, I concede that it is the dictate of wisdom and patriot ism to submit to the “logic of events.'’ and that the highest Statesmanship con sists in a proper adjustment of the con ditions in which we find ourselves placed. Since the fortunes of War have decided adversely to our claim of separate na tionality, and it has been determined in the dispensations of Providence that the government of the United States shall be our government, and. the flag of the American Union shall be our flag, it becomes our patriotic duty to extinguish the bitterness and hate .of the past, and with uplifted brow to look bravely and hopefully to the future. While I do not counsel you to enter up on the devious paths of p; litics I be lieve that it is the patriotic duty of every citixen to take an interest in the affairs of his government; that those af fairs ought not to he left to the man agement and control of trading profes sional politicians, and that ‘‘eternal vig ilance is the price of liberty.” There are influences at work which threaten the destruction of every con stitutional barrier, of every limitation of power, and of every safeguard of freedom. We have seen State govern ments overthrown and'legislative assem blies dissolved. We have seen civil governments completely sul«or«linated to the military. We have seen the right of trial by jury denied, and the great writ of civil liberty suspended in a time of profound peaoe. We have seen a helpless and unarmed people disfran chised and subjected to the arbitrary rule of military masters. It is my de liberate conviction that there is no hope for the preservation of civil liberty up- -n the continent until local self-govern ment is re-established in all the States, and the great truth is recognised by all departments of the general government that it is a government of well defined and limited powers. Here Isjthe sheet- anchor of our h pes and the palladium of our .liberties. There is m way of escape from the difficulties which envi ron and the changes which threaten us but in a speedy return to our ancestral faiths and to those cardinal principles which underlie the foundation of our representative system of government. The obligations of patriotism require every good citizen to oppose the cen tralizing influences of the times in which we live, and to gather up the fragments of a broken constitution with the same eagerness with which the ship wrecked mariner would seize the last plank when the midnight storm and tempest are howling around him. PROGRESS OF THE 80UTH DEPENDENT UPON HER SONS. They require the exercise of what ever influence we may possess, not only in opposing the centralizing tendencies of the government, but in contributing to the moral elevation and improvement of the individual citizen. The public safety and the national honor depend upon the force of individual character. Lord John Russell once observed that “it is the nature of party in England to ask the assistance of men of genius, but to follow the guidance of men of char acter.” Wha; a happy day it will be when,the same observation will be true with reference to pai ties in this .c. un try, where none but men of character can command the public confidence and support, when every position of honor and of trust shall be filled by a repre sentative man of incorruptible integri ty, who will “feel a stain like a wound,” and avoid corruption in office as he would flee from “the pestilence that walketh in darkness and the destruction that wasteth at noonday.” Nothing is nec essary to lift the South from the dust and restore her to pristine greatness and glory but a resolute purpose and earnest effort on the part of her sons. If her young men who are now enter ing up"n the theatre of life will deter mine not to shrink from honest toil; if they will seek employment n->t only in the learned professii ns, but in. the use ful departments of commerce, mechan ics and agriculture; if they w : ll carry into those departments not only strong arms and stout hearts, but skilled labor, trained intellects, and incorruptible in tegrity ; if they will imitate' the prim itive simplicity and old-fashion, homely virtues of their ancestors; in a Word, if they will exhibit the same high qual ities in peace which illustrated the con duct of their elder brothers in war, our bek ved South will once more “bloom and blossom like the rose.” Railways in China- * Through a special Herald dispatch from London, (says that paper of the 5th) we learn that a private meeting has been Convened at -Stafford House for the purpose of promoting railway enterprises in China;—that it is in c >n- templation to furnish a free girt rolling stock sufficient to* equip ten miles of railway as an inducement, by a practi cal experiment, to the Chinese Emper or to sanction the construction of a net work of railroads through his domin ions, and that abundance of capital can be commanded for the work. The com mittee on the subject are to call a pub lic meeting under the auspices of the Lord Mayor of London. The importance of this scheme will be readily appreciated if considered in connection with the British railway project for connecting the Mediterrane an with the Persian Gulf by way of the Euphrates River and with Baron Reuter's Persian railway contracts, and with the British, railway system of Hin dustan. Taking all these grand schemes and systems together, they simply look, first, to the control and absorption of the trade of the whole of Asia south of the Russian Empire, and to a strong po litical foothold rrom Asiatic Turkey to India on the west, and from the Pacific Ocean to India on the east, against any grasping designs or supposed hostile de signs of Russia. But. whether by En gland or Russia, the building of exten sive railway lines in Asia, east or west, will be for the general benefit of man kind, aud so we wish success to all such enterprises. China has not a single railway, for the reason as stated in Abbe Hue s nar rative that they could not be built with out desecrating graves. China is, as a matter of course, considering its age and teeming p pul tion. one great grave yard. and the leading idea of the re ligion of the Chinese is reverence for their dead ancestry. How the English will induce the Chinese to unction the inexor. ble aligmeiit of a railway over a soil in great part occupied by the dead is a perplexing question. THE GREAT STORM. ■ Particulars of the Havoc in Ohio, In diana and Other States—Complete Destruction of Wheat and Growing Crop*—Incalculable Losses. Cincinnati, July 8.—Heavy rains are reported through the region of the recent storms, covering a portion of Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky and further west. Crop reports are gloomy. ' Jacksonville, III., July 8.— Twelve and a quarter inches of water fell between 12 and 5 o’clock, bridges were swept away and great damage to crops resulted. Many bridges and cul verts were washed away. Spring wheat is fiat on the ground. Winter wheat is harvested. Sprouting crops are flooded on the lowlands and damaged' on the highlands. Cincinnati, July 8.—The following accounts of damages to the crops -and buildings and estimated losses by the recent rains have been received here In _ hio, through Fayette county, the wheat ahd corn have been seriously damaged, many trees uprooted and one barn demolished; loss estimated at three thousand dollars outside of crops. In Washington county crops were consid erably beaten down and estimate ef loss cannot be made, reports not having been sufficiently lull. In Delmont county several icres of timber were destroyed for a mile around. In Belmont nearly all. the fences were blown down, admit ting stock into grain fields. Wheatand corn were also flattened out. In Mor row county, in the vicinity of Cording- ton, on Thursday and Friday the storm levelled fences, and many valuable orch ards hfere ruined Ip Franklin county the loss is estimated at from $50,000 to $100,000. The bottom lands were cov ered with water, destroying crops. Part of the canal in the town of Winchester is under water, compelling some of the firms to stop business. -In the southern portion of Licking county crops, of all kinds are badly damaged. The Newark, Somerset aud Strasville road suffered severely; twenty-five miles of track were washed out and several bridges destroyed. In Clinton county the grain, iti shock, r.nd that standing in the field* were alike prostrated, making it neces sary to raise a great part of it by hand In the southern portion of Greene coun ty wheat crops suffered. The estimated loss is from fifteen to twenty per cent In'other portions of the county the loss is considerably lighter. The weather is still showery, and unless it clears up soon the wheat Crop, which is dead ripe will be partly injured. In Muskingum eounty, Zanesville. Washington, Perry, Wayne and Knox townships suffered a loss by damage to growing crops not less than $100,000, besides a heavy loss of timber. In the southern part of Bug ler county the rain did damage to the crops; a large lot of timber was also blown down. In Pickaway county crops destroyed and washed away approxi mate a loss of $100,000. To this may be added broomecom, within three miles of Circleville, twenty-five thousand dol lars. In Athens county at Nelsonville, the Hocking river overflowed and inundated the lower part of the town. A large number of families were compelled to leave their houses and contents and fly for life, so sadden and unexpected did the flood come. Crops in the b >ttom lands are a total loss. Damage to crops is estimated at $100,000. A great num ber of families living along the river, in the vicinity of Athens, were compelled to move to higher ground. The Mari etta and Cincinnati railroad track is cov ered with water, too deep to allow the passage of trains. In Fairfield county the loss of pub lic and private property is estimated to be over $500,000. Many low farms were swept of everything but the build ings. The Hooking canal can not be repaired having fifteen large breaks within a dis tance of twenty-five miles. . The Bremen canal is six feet under water. On the morning of the 4th instant, four bridges on the Cincinnati and Mus kingum and the Cincinnati and Hock ing Valley railroads Were wrecked.

In Ripley county the wheat suffered badly. In Decatur county the wheat will yield hut three fourths of a crop. In Shelby county two thirds of the wheat is lo»t- In Dearborn county the ]oee of. crops will be far up in the thousands. The same report oomes ibr Fayette county, in which corn will yield but three-fourths of a crop. A NARROW ESCAPE. Particulars of the Wreck of the Steam er City of Washington. • New York, July 8.—The agent of the I- uiau Hue telegraphed the agents at Halifax to do every thing possible regardless of expense for the passengers of the wrecked steam er Washington. The baggage and spare stores were safely landed with the passengers and crew. She car ried no mail. Halifax, July 8.—Details of the wreck have been received. The City of Washington left Liverpool on the 24th of June, saw neither sun nor stars during the passage, and it wa9 impossible to make observations. When she struck, Saturday -after noon, objects could not be seen three yards ahead. She was going about nine knot when she stranded Per iod order prevailed. Twenty-eight cabin and. 431 steerage passengers were safely landed by the ship’s boats and the small craft attracted by. the stamer’s guns. The sea was calm, and the distance to the main land a quarter of a mile. The vessel's es cape from total destruction with all on board is providential. Halifax, July 8.—It is hoped that the City of Washington will get off if the calm continues. The pas sengers are supplied with cooked food from the ship. The vessel has a general cargo, part of which is very valu ible. [From the New Orleans Herald.] The Celebrated Judge Lynch. Mr. Bartholomew Lynch, who presides over Kellogg’s Fourth District Court, and who has won such unenviable noto riety in the trial of the Picayune libel case, is a 'son of old Erin, and speaks the English with a broad brogue. There is a humorous as well aa an irascible phase to Lynch’s character. It is related of hiiii that not long since a lawyer—who also is a son of the Green Isle—was arguing a somewhat tedious case_ before him, when Lynch having satisfied himself as to the merits of the case, and dreading a lengthy speech, said quite abruptly to the voluble attor ney. wh.un we shall name Hagan: “Mister Hagan, sit down, sir!” The attorney, with a cooltiess that was refreshing paid not the slightest at tention to the command, and proceeded with his argument. “Mister Hagan,” said Lynch, rather more pointedly, “take your aate.sir 1” The lawyer scarcely noticed the in terruption, but plunged ahead as vigor- ourly as ever. Lynch was now excited, and turning to the sheriff he exclaimed: * . “Mr. Sheriff, sate Mr. Hagan!” The sheriff hesitated a moment to see if his superior war in earnest, when suddenly the irate magistrate, with an attempt to smother his wrath that was a palpable failure, exclaimed, “Mister Hagan, go on thin I” and after whisper ing something to the clerk, he relapsed into a listening attitnde, remaining per fectly quiet for some hour and a half, at which time the lawyer *baving ex hausted the subject, and being quite ex hausted himself, sank into a chair and saturated an extensive pocket handker chief with the copious perspiration that beaded his legal brow. Lynch raised himself slowly in his chair, and inquired very mildly, “Are you through, Mister Hagau ?” “Yes, sir ” “Are you sure you’re through ?”* “Yes. sir, quite sure.” “Well, sir.” remarked Lynch, “your argument has had no more effect ‘ up -n the court than a spoonful of water_on the back of a duck. There’s been judg ment entered np against ye for an hour and more.” were all infected with Episcopal and Presbyterian creeds, and all that that great principle which has produced this boundless universe, Newton's universe, and Herschel’s universe, came down to this little ball to be spit upon by Jews. Mr. Adams’ opinion was that until this awful blasphemy was got rid of there will never be any liberal science in this world. And yet he escaped anathema. Mr. Jeffieraon, on the contrary, was de nounced by the pious and mohd Ham ilton as “an atheist.” Adams and Jefferson- Mr. Parton, in defending Mr. Jeffer son’s religions character, in his sketchy way, in the July Atlantic, brings in comparison with it that of some of bis contemporaries He says: Mr. Adams, however, was by far the more impatient of the two with popu lar ereeds. as he shows in many a comic outburst of robust and boisterous Con tempt. He presented bis utter inabil ity to comprehend that side of human nat ure which made people object to pay ing a pittance for his near navy-yard, and eager to throw away their money upon such structures as St. Panl’s, in London, and St. Paul’s, at Rome. Aa for the doctrine of the Trinity, he great ly surpassed Jefferson in his aversion to it. He scolded Jefferson for bringing over European professors, because they Kellogg—The Usurper’s Army- Tbs novel spectacle in this country, of a standing army in time of peace, is presented in the Province of Louisiana, where the. usurper Kellogg has surroun ded himself with formidable military force for the purpose of overawing the oppressed and plundered people. The brigade consists ot two battalions of infantry, made formidable by a corres ponding number of Winchester rifle*; a battery of tWo Gatlin and tWo Napo leon guns, and a troop of cavalry, pro vided with Spencer repeating rifles This formidable force was paraded through the streets of New Orleans on the 4th, to the great delight of the “unified,” and having been, formed in line in Annunciation Square, were, says the Herald, “reviewed—phew!—the De Facto himself, supported and ‘protected- by that embodiment of all that is gran'd and sublime in military displays, Major General Longstreet.” These are some of the elements of the “Republican form of Government" which Gen. Grant has guaranteed to the people of Louisiana ! Dead- Philadelphia, July 6.—Father Kelley, pastor of St. Michael's Church, died of apoplexy while bathing st At lantic City. Atlantic Citt, July 6.—Rev. Fa ther Kelley of St Michael’s Catholic Church. Philadelphia, died in the sort here just before noon to day. He had heen stopping at the Wyoming House, an# while bathing with a company of ladies was seized with an apoplectic fit and died almost instantly. He was an expert swimmer, and his feats in the waves attracted a large party. Sudden ly he threw his hands np and his be d foil back on the breakers. Immediate assistance was rendered, bat be was dead before he could be taken On shore. His body was sent to Philadelphia on the afternoon train The rnmors- that he was drowned are withont foundation His head at no time was under the wa ter, and he was not over his depth when he died. His neck was greatly discol ored with purple and green bands He was about thirty years old, and well known in the northern part of Phila delphia. A Magnificent Scheme—New Oriental Despot. .The latest European newspaper? contain the details of the extraordi nary agreement made between the shah of Persia and Baron Julias Reuter. * * * * Persia has been hand ed over for seventy years the abso lute control of Baron Reuter.’ The Baron is as characteristic a product of Western civilization as th ■ Shah and his country are of what is called progress in the East. Bom in' a pretty German principality, be be gan life as a bank clerk in Goettin gen, and first became known in 1846, to a very limited public, as the pub- lisher of lithographic newspaper cor respondence in Paris. He was an odscure adventurer when he trails-, ferred his business to London in 1851, yet in less than seven years he bad the telegraphic news service ot the Metropolitan Press under his undis puted control, and could compel the oldest and most exclusive of English dailjgp to accede to whatever terms he cbt>se to dictate. Reuter bad foresight enough to anticipate the unlimited expansion of the telegraph system, and promptness enough to secure exclusive privileges from every new line that was opened in Europe. He supplemented the ear lier blanks in the magnetic wire-cir cle by couriers, or carrier-pigeons, and still later by steam-packet ser vice. At this moment there is not a city la the world which does net contain Renter’s news agent, doing his work with various degrees of bad ness, but still forming pert of e great system, which is one of the most se curely founded of commercial monop olies. The man whose name the London Timet was flr$t'compelled to put at the head of its telegrams in 1859, occupies now one of J,he fin est houses in London, and gives din ners whose gorgeous accompani ments, at least,-the richest of En glish Dnkes could not surpass. To this magnate the Shah of Per sia has handed over the exclusive right to construct railroads, to make canals, to work mines, and to estab lish other productive enterprises within h s dominions. He can take Government lands free of expense, and can ose all materials found iu Government quarries, gravel pits, etc., withont payment. Neither tho men nor the materials that this great contractor may employ are to be subject to taxation. Any mineral d posit not of gold, silver, or prec ious stones, which Baron Reuter’s agents may find on the royal lands of Persia can be taken and worked by them without charge. Such pri vate property iu lands and mines as he may require, must be transterr. d to him at the ordinary prices of tho country. His first task is to con struct a railway from Rescht, on the sonth shore of the Caspian, to Ispa han, the old capital of Persia. The length of the road will be about four hundred miles, and after it has been completed the Persian Government will give its sovereign guarantee to pay seven per cent.—five per cent, for interest, and two per cent, for sinking fund—on a loan ot $30,000,- 000, which Baron Reuter is author ized to obtain lrom anybody who will lend it to hitn. The procee is of the Persian Custom-houses have hither to averaged a little* over $1.000,000 a year. Buron Renter is to purchase the entire Control for twenty-five years, of the custom duties of Persia by paying $100,000 a year more than the Government now makes out of them. Considering the thieving instincts of Eastern tax-c< diet-tors, t fie Baron will probably find that a few honest Luro{>ean officials can make a very handsome profit for him out of the speculation. The Baron and his successors are to remain tor seventy years absolute com mere ial • delators of Persia. They are to pay the Government, mean while, fifteen to twenty per cent, of their net earnings in return fur the magnificent concessions accorded to them, and when their lease has ter minated, It may be renewed oh such terms as both contracting parties can agree on. If the Government assumes control, at the end of that time, of the wor -s of the Renter Company, it must pay at a liberal valuation for the buildings, machine ry, etc., which may then have been erected by the company. Who is to enforce the previsions of tbe contract does not appear, but as Baron Reu ter is a naturalized British subject, there seems to be an opening here for a repetition of the history of the East India Company. The 8hah has been telling the people of England that, in coming among them, he teeia that he is coming among friends. Some of the Shah's successors may not unlikely become jealous of the rich fruits of the Reuter concessions, and then it may be assumed that the country which wrenched Herat from the hands of the soldiers of the Shah would once h&ve to show' itself the reverse of friendly.—New York Times. • A Sensible Dog Law.
