Blaine’s panacea for a decaying commerce is nothing bnt the hair of the dog that killed it. And let tu first consider this expres sion — Decay of American Commerce. Could any thing be more startling ? The cuontryhaa hardly yet reached yonog manhood. Her resources, although just opening to development, diatanoa all parallel on the faoe of the globe. She can almost feed and clothe tbe world and fnraleh it in pocket money, both gold and silver. Never ainoe the oreation was such * spectaolc of natural wealth organ ized coder one government presented to the eyes of mankind, or indeed, any thing worthy of a moment’s comparison. Aad do yon say the commerce of this country is so dead that it has gone to decay ? Yes, that proposition is so clear to the minds of Hr. Blaine and the gen tlemen to whom he writes, that it is as sumed as self-evident — indisputable. Wonderful, amazingf What, with alithe elements of commerce in onr bands— itb everything to sell lying about us in inexhaustible profusion, trade decays? Tbe fault cannot be in Natnro or in Prov idence; it can be traced only to ourselves, It most exist only In onr own follieB and blunders, by force of which we actually triumph over the mnmfioence of God to onr own rain. And Hr. Blaine’s letter itself famishes a strong illustration of tbe obstinate and incorable nature of this infatuation. Re vive the decayed commeroe says ho by taxing tbe people to build more steam ships. Now our trade has been brought to decay by debt, excessive taxation- foolish experiments with tbo currency— but, more than all else, by a system of so-called protective tariff duties which binds commerce hand and foot. If yon want to revive the prisoner, unbind him us eschew class legislation in every form as mnch aa possible. -> J • WESLEYAN COLLEGE HEXCEMENT, COX. commencement Ony—Senior Cam pmuiona—Award cf Degrees—Bac calaureate—A Brilliant Occasion The exeroisee of the Commencement of the female college, which have been progreasing for the paat week, were marked yesterday with a brilliancy seldom exoeeded in the past of.the institution They have on each succeeding oooasion been steadily Improving, and olosed yes terday most pleasantly.

Little. It was delightfully ten dered. Miss Annie Lon Stubbs told in a grace ful strain “What girls can do,” describ ing the true sphere of woman, and ad vocating her cause in well chosen words and pretty sentences. The essay was well rooeived. In it were several figures of beanty, aud the whole production was read with appropriate emphasis and ex cellent modulation. “Wasted Lives," was tha theme of Miss Alma Tharp, of Houston eonnty, and her effort displayed close study of tha subject, and waa written with more than usual care. All were urged to me every opportunity to gather tho golden sheaves of life, to be always np and do ing; “lest when the Great Master corns he will find nothing but leaves." It elioi- tad many oomplimentary remarks.

It was ft beautifully drawn piotnre of ths fanoy written in ohoioe verse. The meter waa morerpexfeot than any similar effoit we have ever heard. Her reading waa particularly striking, her voice clear and bell-like in its tones, and from her first utterances the andienoe was enohained and listened with the closest attention to tho olose. There was a something about tbe poem whioh was peculiarly at tractive, and for true elocution, purity of pronunciation joined with beanty of thought and softness of expression, took rank in the van of the best. *Maoy a Time and Oft," a vocal solo, waa softly sung by Miss Mamie Little. The valedictories was read Miss Roberta F. Smith, cf Thompson. The class marched from the stage to the seats in front, tbe fair valedictorian being the only Senior on tha stage. She addressed first the citizens, then her schoolmates, the trustees, faculty and then the gradu ating class. It was a. remarkably fine composition, and left the impression that the awarded honor had been justly bestowed. We can hardly eay too much of the beanty, the appropriateness and excellence of tbe parting words of tbe gracefnl Senior. They showed a matur ity of thought, a tenderness of feeling and bsauty of expression seldom seen and scarcely to be surpassed, yet free from the mawkish sentimentality whioh sometimes mar these farewell composi tions. There was, too, about her read ing a sweetness whioh won tin hearts of her andienoe. President Basa announced that tho de grees would next be oonferred.

The exercises were opened by tbo roll performed on the drum by Mr. W. H. English, who was tie drummer of the company through the war. The roll call of 1841, the year in whioh the oompany was organized, came next In a claar voice Corporal H. P. Wesoott called the nam98 of the first members of the company. Bat five responses were heard to a long roll Tney were made by 3rd Lientenant B. F. Roes; 3rd Corpo ral H. P. Weacott and Privates Albert Mir, Edwin Sanlsbnry and Charles Tay lor. There are but nine of their first members now living. The four others are William Bone, of Vineville ; Bsrney Corley, of Talbotton; S. F. Gove, late of Jones county ; and Hatton P. Redding, ot Atlanta. Tae roil of 1861 was called by Captain George F. Cheny, and the responses were more frequent. The roll call of Appomattox was next read by Sergeant John Grimes, belter known in camp as “Dad," and the few names npon it beto kened that those who went forth to battle returned not toroll call on the earth. As eaoh vetgraa responded to his name a renndof applause would be given, and When some familiar name -was oalled, whose owner was deterred from being present, the applanae was still generonsly tendered. The medal was delivered to the Company by ex Captain, and now honora ry member, B. F.

Round after ronnd of applause were given the speaker as the. words of glow ing patriotism were sounded by his lips. The address was polished and fall ot beautiful sentences. It swept through the halls of the past and pointed ont the moat beautiful life piotnrea hanging there connected with the history ot the Rifles and tbe Macon Volunteer*. The speech was ths most eloquent we have ever heard from Colonel Hardeman,, and it found a warm, responsive thrill in the hearts of every one present who wore the grey or battled for the stars and bare. The medal, at its dose, was presented to Corporal Davia and received in behalf of that gentleman by Colonel Clifford Anderson. Colonel Anderson’s -response was also fill of patriotic terror and eloquence, and was frequently applauded. He did himself an! the oooasion full justice This oonelnded the exereUee. Colonel Geo. 8. Jones was master of oerebomes The occasion will'ever be remembered by every one present and will be treas ured in the mind of every Rifle.
