SEVEN YEARS AGO.
Delivered at Palmyra Institute, July 10(A 1867,
BT B. R. WRIGHT.
Some occasions, more than others, teem
to he suggestive of sad and thrilling rentin'
iscencee. Periods occur in life where, more
than at other times, wo feel led, as by some
strange spirit-impulse, to associate the
thronging memories of the past with the
juyg and sorrows and active scenes of the
present; and then like the hero of the
.lEneid with hit Penates, or household gods,
carry them on with us down through all
the journeying* of the ful.ure. The time—the
occasion which convenes us to-night is speci
ally suggestive es meUneholly ref.-ctioos.
Even now, while I hid you welcome to anx
other festival of thought—poor thought it
may prove —within old Palmyra’s honored
walls, mind and heart are busy with sadden
ing reminiscences. As I look out upon this
throng of upturned faces, memory is busy
with the past —u past all strewn with blight
ed hopes—a past along whose gloomy retro
spect lie mingled the wreck of fortunes and
the w hitening bones of onr fallen heroes 1
I bold in my hand a Programme of the
public exercises of this Institution, dated Ju
ly 12th, 1860. It has been only a short
space of time since then—a day—a dream—
yet how full of destiny—full of a history
written with the sword’s point dipped in
blood ! Seven years 1 Only seven ! Time
enough once to enable our Patriot Sires to
turn aside the yoke sought to bo imposed by
England's tyranny ; quite long enough now
for a portion of their corrupt and degenerate
sons, aided by teeming thousands of the
wot Id's fierce, unfeeling, rabble, to have fas
tened upon their Southern brethren a despo
tism galling as that of the Autocrat of Rus
sia ! Seven years ago ! What memories
its bare announcement echoes from amid the
rouiky shadows of thc'spectral, war-smitten
Past! llow questions of fate, of toil, and
suffering and duty dooe, come crowding up
on us! Where are some of those whose
voices filled these walls and fell ringing, in
tones of eloquence from this stage, upon the
ears of a crowded and applauding auditory I
Where are many of those whose hearts beat
high—responsive to tour approving smiles
and plaudits! Those voices are hushed!—
those hearts have ceased their throbbing for
ever! Beeland, Hanson, Hudgens, Lane,
Terrell and Wyatt, are no more 1 Some of
these expired in the sanctuaries of home, up
on the bosom of sympathising lore ; others
within tbo cheerless walls of the hospital!
and one—the soldier-boy, Leroy M. Beeland
—poured out the current of life, a free-will
offering to Liberty, upon Virginia's soil—a
soil all crimson with the best and noblest
blood of the South I Others hare escaped
the baud of disease and survived the rage of
battle ; but not all of these have escaped the
casualties of war. A Childs, a Gay, a Far
rar, a Hawthorn, a Smith, and a Williamson,
bear npon their bodies marks more honorable
far than Patents of Nobility—scars received
in defense of the Riem and theiii native
land. All honor to tbe=o maimed and mar
tyred heroes 1
JULY 13, 1807.
I ltut there are others still who claim tribute
of the passing hour. There was one to
i win se busy hand and cultivated taste the
happy occasion to which cur reniaiks rtfer,
was indebted Lr much of its interest—much
of its fame; and it i.- proper upon this, its
Septennial renewal, that we should pay honor
to his memory. The young, amiable, ami
accomplished associate of our then, and ptes
-614 esteemed Principal, has entered upon his
reward. Nelson N. Mixon sleeps well upon
the field of fame! Whete his gallant leader,
tit# brave and gifted Jevferson M. Lamar
feil, he fell, in the thickest of the slaughter, at
Crumpton's P»ss—the fits', heavy peltiugs o(
the gathering storm, soon to break iu a tern
pest of blood upon the folds of Sbarpsburg.
He fought and fell wi ere the brave love to
fail, in tbe fore front of battle—iu the hottest
of tbe strife.
'■ Where slaughter heapod on high its weltering
ranks.”
(■ en be the grass and fragrant the flowers
upon the sod that presses the sleeping dust
of '.be Christian hero !
There is he whose name stands last upon
stricken programme —the brave, talented
C;; t,Sanford W. Glass
A youth to fame, ere to manhood known f"
Let tbe bloody heaps that piled the hills of
Gettysburg answer! Seven years ago,
in tbe vigor of youthful prime, he stood
bes« re you the chosen orator of the occasion.
H tv Lis words of wisdom and utterances of
thrilling eloquence ring in our ears aud thrill
our hearts over the bloody gulf Tune has
dug since then l Truly may it be said:
”i/ ith loves a shining mark,” The good,
tin-, wave, the gifted die earlv. Honors won
within Academic walls, upon the political
arena,at the bar and in Legislative halls, hung
in clustering garlands about his blow—a
brow where manhood had scarce as yet set
its seal. But he has fallen ! Tie fills a pa
triot's grave. Sleep on l The trampling le
gions and glittering steel of a triumphant
and tyranixing foe may forbid tbe honors
grateful affection would gladly pay to your
sacred dust; hut fond, nursing memory, iu
a- fiance of bolts and bars and bristling bay
onets shall enshrine thy nob'e deeds in our
heart of hearts, till the wheels of life stand
still and the pitcher lies shattered at the
fountain l
These lamented ones are ocr oWs. They
form a part and parcel in the history of our
beloved Institution. A» pupils and preceptor,
by their deeds of heroism and glorious deaths,
they have won a proud niche in her archives.
With thousands of the youth and flower of
Southero Chivalry, they have gone down in
'he gulf of battle. All honor to their names I
jgi t/,m'onori-,* |w* eajbah- ed. in every
Southern heart! In their country’s defense
thev have bled nobly—“ Their deeds deserve
proud recompense;” but Radical bayonets
stay the fair bands that come to deck their
humble grave with floral trophies. Be it so !
They bide their time. From Ibeir sacred
ashes, Phoenix like, an avenging Nemesis
will ere long arise—there the muse and mar
ble shall do thbm justice, and
“ Sculpture in her turn
Give bond in stone nnd ever-during brass
To guard them and immortalize her trust t”
Let hate, malice, and persecution follow
them, even into the sanctuary of the gravel
Persecution will hut ‘‘drag them into fume."
Poor, despised, forgotten they may be non;
hut when the veil of paity spirit shall have
been rent, and the scales of prQ idice hav6
fallen from the eyes of the natious, genera
lions yet unborn, all aglow with holy enthu
siasm for the principals in whose defense they
fought nnd fell, shall marshal their names
along down the sounding corridors of time,
and the historic muse weave about their
brows unnitberisg garlands of immortality.
Seven years ago 1 The pen of history is
recording the several acts of a mighty drama
enacted, since then, upon the American con
tinent. It is not one of the duties of the
present hour—nor does the occasion justify
an exposition of its mighty plots. We
would only note the revolution time has
wrought—accept —deal heroically with the
state of facts surrounding u«, and conscience
pure nnd heads erect, go forth like men to
bear the crosses and perform the duties Prov
idence may allot to us in the future.
The twelfth day of July, seven years ago,
our people were prosperous and happy—this
was a land of liberty. The broad aegis of
the Constitution extended over every inch of
her noil, and protected the rights of her hum
blest oitizeus. From the Lakes to the Gulf,
from the snows of the Russian Possessions to
the sunny slopes of the Atlantic, smiling
peace spread her wings and the horn of plen
ty poured her golden abundance. But it
was the calm that preceeds the storm —the
sallen silence which ushers in the earthquake!
Even then the political atmosphere about us
was laden with the seething elements of a
death-dealing storm. Even then the low
muttering of the distant thunder could be
beard.
Even then our wisest political prophets
discerned a little cloud gathering in the dias
tsnee. Ah ! how unlike the one that ap»
peared to the Piophet of Mt. Carmel. How
diff-rent in its portents! The one—the child
of the sea—the gift of God in answer to
prayer—came to stay a withering drought
within the borders of Aliab; the other—the
birth of Fanaticism and a featful combination
of all the baser passions of a Godless ambi
tion—came to blight the gardens of the
S mth and quench her fair fields in rivers of
blood ! Darker and wider it spread its de
mon wings till the last hope of peace and
political safety died within the patriot’s heart.
Soou breaking above Fort Sumter’s historic
walls, for four long, dreadful years it circled
in wasting furv over well nigh every foot of
the devoted South!
But the thunder is boshed. The storm is
passed. We stand gnsing, nwe-strieken, upon
its path of ruin. The South is impoverished—
famine-stricken. All is lost sa7o honor. For
Heaven’s sake, for tlio suko of Truth, for the
sake of Freedom the world over, for the sako
of our fallen braves, let her bereaved and weep
ing sons and daughters preserve that—tho
brightest jewel in the fallen, withered crown of
her glory! Those who braved the tempest
amid poisonous vapors, arising from tho putrid
pools of corrupt Northern public sentiment,
fattened upon the blood of the slain, and en
riched by the spoils of a fratricidal war, waged
in the spirit of a Cain, now “ glory in their
shame,” —triumph over a violated Constitution
nnd a dismembered government. A Radical
Congress, by the enactment of law in open vio
lation of the sacred Charter for which our fath
ers fought, have placed military satraps at tho
olbows of our civil officers—so-called—to watch
every motion of their hands, and oontrol every
movement of their lip 9. They would •levato
tlio inferior into the position of the superior.
Under a plea of indemnification they threaten
confiscation—failing iu this, Shylook iike, they
stand ready to cxaot tho pound of Jlesh ! Tbclr
promises of favor impose a compliance with
conditions which involvo dishonor. Woll, wo
aro conquered and must submit to tho terms of
tlio conqueror. But lot us bo patient. Let us
bo quiet—‘'subject to tho powers that bo.”
But let us not bo in indecent hasto to fasten tho
fetters upon our own hands. Botter suffer tho
loss of every earthly possession than ‘ hold tho
truth iu unrighteousness.’ Botter stand before
Alexander like Diogenes of old, with nothing
but his tub and sunshine, than buy back a place
in the Union at tho mighty cost of Sblv-Rb

The Island of Fierro is one o I the largest
in the Canary group, and it has received it*
name on account of its iron-bound soil,
through which no river or stroara flowed.—
It has also very few wells, and these not very
good. But the great Preserver and Suetain
er of All, remedies this inconvenience in a
way so extraordinary that man will be forced
to acknowledge that He gives in-this an un
deniable dcmonstraU a of his wonderful
"gboYliTessT In tho Vnfdst of the island there
grows a tree, the loaves of which are long
and narrow, and continue in constant verduo
wittier and summer, and tho branches are
covered with a cloud which is never dispelled,
but resolving itself into a moisture, causes to
fall from its leaves a very clear water, in suoh
abundance that cisterns placed at its foot to
receive it are oever empty.
Tho Boston Traveller says that the for
eign imports at that port average neatly one
million of dollars per week, in grid. Adding
to this the premium, 38 per car t, romtnission,
freight and other charges, the ’.nports would
amount to nearly two millions each week, in
currency. At the present time, some fifty
ships and barks are on tkeirway to the port
from foreign countries.
The last Brooklyn Union vouches for the
truth of the following: In Brooklyn last
Tuesday night, a young lady residing at No.
45 Prince street, refused to go to rest in Iter
bed room, on the ground that she had a pre
sentiment that there was danger of some
kind threatening ber whilo she was iu that
room. She accordingly slept in another
part of the house. In the course of a storm,
that night, tho lightning entered the bed
room and shivered to atoms the bed in which
sbo usually slept.
The Macon Tehyraph, of Sunday, says:
“Wo were shown yesterday, by President
Plant, of the First National Bank, a counter
feit $1 bill, United States currency, and he
informs us that large numbers of there, to

viciuity. They can be readily detected from
their general defectiveness, the engraving be

The nows from all parts of tbe State rs
most cheering for an abundance of fx>d. A
letter from a kind friend in Blount county,
says the common price for wheat ?n that
county and St. Clair is 75 .junta per boshel.
A lett'-r from Fayette says the wheat is so
abundant and money so scarce that wheat
could be bought at almost ary price offered.
In Calhoun,Randolph and Chambers eountres
we learn that the common prieo for wheat is
one dollar per bushel.
This is most cheering news, and is enough
(o make the heart of the philanthropist leap
for joy. There will bo no famine in Alabama
this year, hut it will bo one of plenty and
cheerfulness. —Montgomery Sentinel.

A cartful analysis of information received
by tbe Agricultural Department from alltba
State shows the total acreage in wheat is
ten to fifteen per cent, greater than last year.
It is too early to estimate the final result of
the harvest, but with average success in
ripenieg, the crop ought not to be less than
200,000,000 bu=heis. An average acreage
of winter barley has been sown in tho major
ty of the States. The condition of clover is
good throughout the country, The acreag*
of oats is larger than usual in the West.—
Ohio is the only Stale which cannot show
an increase.
At the Royal Palace at Berlin, forty thou
sand wax candles are instantaneously lighted
by one match. The mode of proceeding i»
simple enough, the wUks being previously
connected by a thread spun out of gun cot
ton, on lighting one end ot which all the catv?
dies are lighted simultaneously, and thus, the
whole of the seven hundred apartments are
illuminated at once. The process is so easy
that the wonder is that it it nut more exten
sively known and generally practiced. In
Russia the same ingenious method is em
ployed for lighting up tho churchy on grand,
occasions.
