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 sfect l 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 gether with tWos, are in circulation in this viciuity. They can be readily detected from their general defectiveness, the engraving be ing of a most iuferior order, aud the paper UiinDer than in the genuine bill. •«_ While tbo Rev. Dr. Elliot, ofthe Church of the Messiah, St. Louis, was preaching a discourse on behalf of the famishing people of the South, a dove flew in at tho window perched for a morotnt on tho gallery ! j# | trade, then spread its wings and ho' (orer ] over tho minister’s head and finally seated itself on the pulpit. New Orleans h rt g had six cases of chol era and three r jt yellow fever thus far this season. A Cincinnati paper says : ••Rogues find no quarters here.’’ I’i entice replies, “Very likely ; they might search half the poeketfMn the city and find none,” | VOL., 2, X 0 12 An excellent turn being made at a dinner table by Judjc If nr, of if issachusetts, is too good to be loaf. A gentleman remarked that 1 who was given to sharp practice, waa getting more eirctim.-pecf. ‘ Ve» f Vcv plied Hoar, “he has readied the mperlative 0 f |if e —| ie began by seeking to get on, the# he sought to get honor, and now he is Dying' to gel honest.” The Ni w York World thinks it probable that J-ff. Davis will again become a planter on a reduced scale, in the State of Mississippi; that tbo residue of bis days will be passed in meditative seclusion ; and that humiliation and broken hopes will tinge bis life with a chronio sadness, under which bo will ero long sink into tbe grave. The Jadies of the Hollywood Memorial AssociattOO, of Richmond, Virginia, have de cided to level the graves of the Confederate dead at Hollywood, preserving at the same time the identity of each grave, and that for the purpose of identification a locust stake bearing a metalic plate, be driven close to tho surface cf the ground at the head of each grave. A negro preacher; while holding forth to the colored soldiers at Port Hudson, sard ! “I)e whole of God’s relation to ns am like do wheel. De Lord am de hub, de Christiana am de spokes, and de tire am dc gracs of God bindin all togeddm.” 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. Rome wags, it is reported, recently emp« tied several lags of salt into a spring, on the farm of an honest goutleman, near Carthage, in Indiana, nnd than led him to taste the wa ter, and imagine hehad made a valuable dis covery. Tho f e rrner consulted with a certain cx-Captain, nnd the two actually began to erect wotke over the springs and bore for tl • salt before the cruel joke was revealer.. ■ Mnj.

As soon as lards can be purchased and arrangements made for the reception of the colonists, a hundred families will follow him. —»o- tm We are told by philosophers that shutting I’no eyes makes tbo hearing more acute —» fact that may account for numerous closed ev-s on Sundays. 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. About cotton a t L’uisville the Democrat says * The eyes of Capita lists have at last caught a glance a’_ our SU p er i or advantages for man ufacto ,| D g purposes. We can hear every speculations in regard to the erection of extensive cotton factories along the falls of the Ohio, the immense wafer power of which is perhaps rrnsuipassed in tbe world. A man named Bible has just been sen tenced to a thee years term in the Western Penftsylvaniapenitentiary for stealing a watch and coat. Hi* good name could not sate him. Why arc young ladies generally bad grammarians? Because few of" theca are able to decline matrimony.
