Our Relations with Spain.—Report of the
Senate Committee on Foreign Relations.
The report submitted to the Senate by Mr.
Mason, as chairman of the Committee on For
eign Relations, upon the message of the Presi
dent in regard to the necessity for the enactment
of provisional measures, will.be read with inter
est. It will be seen that the committee agrees
entirely with the positions taken by the Presi
dent in his message of the 15th of March, and
reiterated in his message ofthe Ist inst., and, but
tor the short time until Congress will again be in
session, would report bills to carry out the sug
gestions of the Executive as to provisional mea
sures. We cannot but regret this conclusion of
the committee; but, as we know that they have
been actuated by none but patriotic considera
tions, we are not disposed to indulge in censure
or complaint. Whilst we regret the conclusion
to which the committee arrived, we are highly
gratified to see that the able and experienced
statesmen who compose it concur so cordially
with the sentiments of the President’s message.
This announcement will carry with it a moral
weight that may prove beneficial in the further
prosecution ot negotiations with the government
of Spain. The report of the committee is as
follows:
“The Committee on Foreign Relations, to
whom was referred the message of the President
ot the United States of the firot of the present
month, in reply to the resolution of the Senate
asking information ‘whether anything has arisen
since the date of his message to the House of Re
presentatives of the 15th of March last, concern
ing our relations with the government of Spain,
which, in *his opinion, may dispense with the
suggestions therein contained touching the pro
priety of ‘ provisional measures’ by Congress to
meet any exigency that may arise in the recess
ot Congress affecting those relations,’ ” report:
“The committee entirely concur with the Pre
sident in the declaration contained in his mes
sage to the House of Representatives, and reite
rated in his message to the Senate, that ‘in view
ot tbe position ot the island of Cuba, its proxim
ity to our coast, the relations which it must ever
bear to our commercial and other interests, it is
vain to expect that a series of unfriendly acts,
infringing our commercial rights, and the adop
tion ot a policy threatening the honor and secu
rity ot these States, can long exist with peaceful
relations;’ and are satisfied that, whatever mea
sures may be found necessary to insure future
security and repose to the country, (menaced
from the quarter indicated.) and to vindicate the
honor of our flag, will be adopted by Congress.
An earnest hope, both on the part of the Presi
dent and ot Congress, that the difficulties with
Spain referred to in the message would have been
adjusted before the termination of the present
session by an amicable- arrangement, has, as it
would appear, eaused both to forbear until a short
interval remains between the close of the present
and the stated commencement of the next meet
ing ot Congress.
“ The full reparation that has been demanded
by the Executive, with adequate guarantees for
the futuie, will alone satisfy the just expectations
of the country, and the committee would not
i hesitate to recommend the‘provisional measures’
suggested by the President, to be executed by
him in the recess ot Congress, even under the
difficulties ol maturiug them when the close of
the session is already at hand, were the interval
to be long beiere the next meeting of Congress.
As that will bo, however, but ol tour months’
duration, they have deemed it better on the
whole to leave the subject, as it is at present,with
the Executive. Should the occasion unfortu
nately render it necessary, it must of course oc
cupy the earliest attention of Congress at its next
meeting. And for the above reasons the com
mittee ask to be discharged.”
The request of the committee was agreed to,
and the report ordered to be printed.
The Insult to Major Borland.
The original cause ot the insult to Major Bor
land is found in the protection which he gave to
Capt. Smith, when an attempt was made to ar
rest him tor killing Antonio, one of his native
p.lots. Maj. Borland says, in his letter to the
Secretary oi State, that his interference for the
protection of Captain Smith had no reference to
the question of his guilt or innocence, but to his
rights as an American citizen. But, byway of
casting odium on Maj Borland, the National In
telligencer speaks of his interference as the pro
tection given to a “murderer.” The following
statement of the facts as to the killing of Anto
nio by Captain Smith, as we find them reported
in the Star a few days since, shows that the kill
ing was clearly justifiable:
“It seems that Captain Smith, ofthe Ameri
can steamer Routh, navigating the San Juan ri
ver, some months since dismissed one of his na
tive pilots, named Antonio, a ferocious leliow,
who subsequently threatened to take his life on
the first favorable occasion. On the down trip
of the Routh, when Mr. Borland was a passen
ger on her, coming home, she lost most ot her
rudder by an accident, and was for the most part
steered with.setting poles. When about eight
miles from San Juan she became unmanageable
in a narrow channel of deep and rapid water.—
To save her Irom ‘grounding,’ Captain Smith or
dered her to be made fast to a ‘bungo,’ (native
boat) lying near at hand, which proved to be the
boat of Antonio. The latter bad the rope of the
steamer cut or cast loose, and seizing a double
barrelled gun, levelled it to shoot Captain Smith,
who was standing with the steamer w heel in
his hand. A woman on board the bungo, how
ever, jerked the gun from his hand, and, ere he
could recover it, the steamer, being loosened
irom the bungo, was swept violently away by
the current—grounding on the other side ofthe
river. In their effoits to prevent this catas
trophe, the hands lost two of their setting poles
near the bungo, and as soon as possible the stea
mer headed, so as to recover them. On her se
cond approach towards the bungo for that pur
pose, toe ex-pilot again seized his gun, and or
dered Captain Smith not to approach nearer, or
he would shoot him. He made his threat, and
prepared to cany it into execution, though he
saw that Capt. S. was at the wheel, surrounded
by male and iernale passengers, and the boat was
almost wholly unmanageable. Smith, finding it
impossible to stop her headway, and fearing that
he would shoot in the crowd of passengers, step
ped out of the wheel-house instantly, when the
ruffian squatted down and raised his double-bar
relled gun to shoot. But S. was too quick tor
him, as he seized his lisle and shot him as he
was on the point of pulling the trigger. These
are the tacts of the shooting affair, as testified to
by Dr. Smith, of San Francisco, Adams & Co.’s
express messenger, and a lady passenger, who,
as w’ell as the Hon. Mr. Borland, were in the
wheel house at the time.”
Bear Grass. —Mr. Lefevre has left at this
office a specimen of the dressed fibre of what is
comtnonly known here as bear grass, but which
he thinks is identical with the Manilla hemp
By experimenting, he has discovered a process
which enables him to clean it perfectly without
any injury to the fibre. The specimen before
us is three feet long, of great strength and finer
than the bisal or, we believe the Manilla It
was procuied on Dog River, where we under
stand, it grows in great abundance; to an ex
tent indeed that would make it an object to
gather and clean it for market. The bear »rass
is indigenous to this aud adjoining States, but far
ther north its growth is not so large as in this re
gion. From the remarks of Mr. Lefevre, we think
the regular culture of this plant would result in
profiitto any persop of enterprise who might un
dertake it
The Sisal hem p which grows naturally |
throughout most of Yucatan, is a source of much
profit to the people and is the chief article of !
export from the peninsula; and this too, al
though the mode of preparing it for market is
very rude and slow. It may be recollected by
some of our readers, that while Dr. Perrine was
American Consul at Campeachy, he and others
formed a plantation of the Henequin and found
the results very satisfactory, notwithstanding
the primitive process of cleaning it. And so
much was he impressed with the importance oi
it to our manufacturing and commercial interests
that through the aid of government heintroduc
ed the plant into Florida and only for his untime
ly death, would probably by this time have been
reaping rich rewards from it.
We therefore argue that with the bear grass
formed into plantations and the necessary ap
pliances of machinery, the business might be
made very profitable ;—especially as the fibre
of it, judging from Mr. Lefevre’s specimen, is
equal in strength to that from Sisal and altogeth
er preferable for many kinds of fabrics.— Mobile

Later from Havana.
The U. S. Mail steamship Cahuwba, R. W.
j Shudfelt commander, from New York July 25
and Havana the 31st, arrived at Mobile last
evening, having reached the bar at noon, but
did not reach the city in time to send over the
mails.
A friend who was on board sends ns the fol
lowing note of her run and items :
We left on luesday at noon ; had two rough
j days with head winds; made the Moro at mid-
I Ilj ght, Sunday; the street door of Havana being
i dosed, did not go in until 5 or 6 in the morning,
and left again at 9. The fever had abated. No
oilier news afloat, nor reached us from shore.—
On board were several returning Creoles, under
the amnesty; one had been condemned to the
garote, escaped, and now comes back hoping
i (vainly) to recover his property. The newly
i appointed postmaster of the island was with us.
bearing despatches from Madrid. No war ves
sels in harbor except Spanish. Fine weather
since Thursday noon.
We are inlebted also to a private hand for the
following intelligence.
The Spanish Royal Mail steamship Velasco,
arrived at Havana, via Puerto Rico, from Cadiz,
on the 25th inst., having left the latter port on
the Ist.
ihe Velasco brought out to Puerto Rico and
j Cuba intelligence of the insurrection which,
headed by Gen. O’Donnel and Gen. Duke, had
i broken out at Madrid, which had been received
! “y the people of Havana with the utmost indif
ference , those seeming to have any opinion at
ail upon the subject, would prefer anything to
an O’Donnel administration in Spain.
Official despatches from Madrid to the Ist of
July, have been received by the Captain Gene
ral relative to this affair, but they contain noth
ing new.
The island is in a state of complete tranquili
ty. Business is more animated than it has been
lor some time.
Since the arrival of the Marquis de la Pezuela
the slave trade has been actively pursued, and
there are, it is stated, upwards of 2,500 Bozal ne
groes now in the hands of the Government
which have been captured by his orders, while
being attempted to be clandestinely landed on
the coasts; and others are being brought in from
the country almost daily.
Upwards of one thousand troops have arrived
recently from Spain, and the steamers Isabel and
Colon, arid line of battle ship Soberano, are ex
pected, in the course of a few days, with about
fifteen hundred more.
We have received by the Cahawba copies of
the Dnwo de la Marina rnd Gaceta, to the 30th,
but our files not being complete, our translations
must remain over.
Ihe Captain General issued an order on the
28th ult., that any one who would capture and
deliver to the Government negroes newly im
ported Irom Africa should receive a bonus of ten
dollars tor each man, six dollars lor each woman,
and three dollars lor each child and if the captor
should be a property holder, he shall havethe ne
groes adjudicated to him as apprentices, on the
usaal terms. This order, if properly complied
with, will stop the African slave trade in Cuba,
and thus destroy the last remnant of this vile
traffic.
The Queen has granted permission to the mu
nicipality of the city of Havana to open a sub
scription for the purpose of erecting a monument
to C olumbu9, under w'hieh shall be deposited the
ashes of the great admiral now resting in a sim
ple niche on the right hand side of the high altar
of the Cathedral of Havana.
Arrest for Horse Stkalino.-— A man call
ing himself Dr. Noland was yesterday committ
ed to jail charge of horse stealing, it ap.
pears tnat Noland was employed and had work
ed for Mr. E. Stafford, ol Tatnal County, in this
State, and that on Friday, 28th ult., Mr. S. loan
ed him a horse to take a journey that would oc
cupy him some two days.
Noland failed, however, to be back at the ap
pointed time; and the suspicions of Mr. Stafford
becoming aroused at his protracted stay, he came
to this city, on Friday last in search ot th# de
linquent. He learned upon arriving here, that
his horse had been offered for sale at auction,
but was bid in by Noland. He next learned
that the horse had been sold at private sale, and
that a portion ot the purchase money' had been
paid to Noland. Ihe police officers searched for
the thief, arrested him, had hirn examined, and
he now awaits his trial at the next term of the
Superior Court for horse stealing.— Savannah

Ihe Reign of Art. —ln this wonderful age,
Art lays her master touches on almost eveiy
thing. The ceiling over us and the carpets we
tread on, are hallowed by Art. Art winds the
railway through the mountains and the mud:
makes her machines ot wood and iron, to act as
it knowledge and annihilates space with
lightning tamed down to the tutelage of a hoy.
Nothing is too lofty for her touch and nothing
too humble. A new proof of this old conviction,
has just fallen under our notice, in the shape ol
a Cathartic Pill, from the Laboratory of that
world renowned Chemist Doct., J. C. Ayer.
It we understand the subject, he has carried
that article to the farthest perfection of which it
is capable. Instead of employing Drugs in its
composition, as we had always thought the ne
cessaiy and only way, he has with consummate
skill extracted the virtues of the medicines to be
employed and combined them alone in their
purity together. The composition is then mixed
and rolled by machinery and steam power, into
a speroid pill which is wrapped in au envelope
of gelatine, for protection from the effects of
weather or time, and then thickly coated with
sugar, to serve as its passort over the palate.
Notwithstanding all this labored perfection they
aie offered to the Public at less than one cent
* However humble the department, we
think this may he safely characterized as the
consummation of Art in its line.-- Morning News

A Successful Cure. —A letter written from
the wreck of the steamer Franklin, below New
York, says :
“Two of the hands employed in diving for the
cargo were attacked with cholera—one a man of
herculean frame. Whilst I was there, his moans
when doubled up and his feet contracted by the
cramp, were horrible. In both cases Capt. J. Q.
Bowne, the agent of the underwriters, gave the
following: 1 tablespoonful of salt, 1 teaspoonful
of cajrsnne pepper, half pint of hot water. The
man I saw was as bad as he could be. We put
his legs in a strong mustard bath, gave him the
above, and in two hours he was easy and wanted
to go to work.”

WEDNESDAY MORNING, AUG. 9, 1854.
Fire.
Aiout half past nine o’clock, yesterday morn
ing, are was discovered on the roof of the two
story wooden building on Broad street, just below
the lower market, owned by Mr. J. W. Wight
man, and occupied by Mr. C. T. Ritch as a
boarding house. The alarm was soon given and
our different fire companies speedily on the
ground. Through their exertions, the building
was saved, more damaged by water than by fire*
the roof being only partially consumed. Mr.
Wightman, we understand, was insured in the
Columbia Insurance office to the amount of SIOOO,
and SISOO in the Southern Mutual, which will
more than cover his loss, as w T e understand SIOOO
will be ample to repair the building. Mr. Ritch’s
loss in furniture, &cis about S2OO. The amount
I is small, but as he is a poor man, it will be se
verely felt. The fire originated from the chim
ney.
More of the Mails.
Ihe following is a copy of a letter which
came to hand yesterday. We can assure sub
scribers to the daily that the fault does not rest
at this office. It is not only our desire, but to
our interest, that subscribers should be regularly
furnished with their papers, and we send them
direct from the office every afternoon to the

We have had more complaints oi irregularity in
the receipt of our papers than we have known
for many years past.

Jas. Gardner, Esq.: The undersigned are
subscribers to your daily paper, and we address
you for the purpose of informing you that it
comes to hand very irregular, sometimes missing
as many as three times a week.
There is mismanagement somewhere and you
would do well to inquire into it.

We would call attention to the advertisement
of this institution in this day’s paper. The
Faculty is an able one, and we learn that the
University is in a flourishing conditon.
On Thursday, an attempt was made, at Wil
mington, Del., to raise the steeple of the new
Second Baptist Church, when the derrick broke
and the steeple fell with a tremendous crash,
dashing it to pieces, and somewhat injuring the
cornice of the building.
A pacing race for SSOO, best three in five, came
off in Mobile, on Thursday, between Silver Tail
and Tecuinseh. The latter was the winner in
three straight heats. Silver Tail broke twice
in the first heat, once on the first turn, and again
on the back stretch.

We record, with much pleasure, a fact re
flecting great credit upon the generous charter
of Mr. Barney Williams, the Irish comedian.—
On the occasion of his complimentary benefit in
New York, on Wednesday night last, he stated
that every farthing received for the night’s per
formance, beyond the incidental necessary ex
penses, should be appropriated to the use of the
Washington National Monument Association
In obedience to the pledge thus publicly made,
he enclosed to the editor of the Herald his check
for SSOO, to be applied by him as above pro
mised.
Ths Ali.ies.—Here are figures which it will
be well to bear in mind. The whole number of
French troops sent to Turkey thus far, is 47,210,
with 7,858 horses and mules; the whole number
of English troops is 31,660, with 5,000 horses and
a few mdles. The alles, therefore, number
nearly 80,000 men. The total of the French
land troops to be embarked at Calais under Gen.

Russian Gold in Spain.—A foreign letter
says the Czar takes a lively interest in the
Spanish revolution, and that he some time since
furnished the leaders with large quantities of
gold, to be used for the overthrow of the govern
ment. it is said, he desires to destroy the in
fluence of the French at Madrid, and with the
help ot Spain to put a Bourbon on the throne of
France. His designs extend also to Portugal.
Should-he succeed, he hopes to keep France oc
cupied nearer home.
Homoeopathic Treatment of tiif. Cholera.
The New York Post says: “We learn that a
number of influential citizens of Brooklyn, among
whom is Mayor Lambert, are making efforts to
obtain a ward in the Cholera Hospital in Frank
lin Avenue, for the treatment of patients accor
ding to Hahneman’s system. Dr. Ritter, a
homeopathic physician, has had twenty cholera
patients in that place, all of whom recovered
except two. Medical aid was called to these j
latter in the last stage of the disease, but at a j
time when no remedies could afford relief.”
There were 1313 deaths in New York last 1
j week,of which 28G were from cholera. In
Philadelphia there were46B deaths including 88 :
from cholera. At Boston, during the 24 hours
ending at noon on Wednesday, there were four
fatal cases of cholera.
1 he interments at St. Louis for the week en
ding the 31st ulfc., numbered 232, of which 49;
were from cholera.

Here is more work for Capt. Hollins of the
Cyane, or Capt. Dornin, of the Portsmouth, to
attend to. The correspondence of the New'
Orleans Delta, writing under date of Tampico,
July 10th states that an adopted American, a
Portugues by birth, was arrested on board of a
vessel called the Red Fox, while the latter was
discharging, for having in reply to a taunt of a
Mexican policemen that he wa3 a negro, replied
that the Mexican President wns ‘ a ladrone,” j
and his own countrymen had said so. For this
speech the sailor w r as seized, while under the
protection of the American flag, and conducted
to prision. Our Consul demanded the immedi- 1
ate release of the sailor, but the reply was that
he was in the hands of the civil authorities and
could not be given up, he being charged with
conspiracy against His Supreme Highness, San
ta Anna, which offence is punishable with death.
The Consul strongly protested again-t this fla
grant outrage, and there the matter rested at last
advices How unlortunate it was that Captains
Ingraham, Hollins, Dornin, or some other of our
gallant naval officers had not been in the vicini- 4
ty. The Charleston Standard says: Acts of
this kind on the part of other nations have been
too long winked at by our government, but the
present administration seems to have turned
over a new leaf in this respect, and we hope it 1
will continue the lessons taught the Aus- -I
trians at Smyrna and the pirates at San Juan to i
the end of the chapter, no matter what nation 1
may feel aggrieved at the strict rules of the i
tutor. 1
Correspondence of the Constitutionalist if Republic.
Athens, Aug, 2d, 1854.
Mr. Editor: — l arrived at this place on
Saturday evening, in transitu for Madison
Springs, but having met an old friend, was pre
vailed on to remain, and witness the Commence
ment Exercises of the State University. The
opening scene was enacted on Sunday. A very
large and brilliant assembly convened in the Col
lege Chappel, to listen to the Commencement
The blaze of beauty, and the corusca
tions that darted from numberless bright eyes,
would have dispelled even midnight darkness. —
Professor Brantly was the officiating clergyman.
His theme was self-control, and his discourse
was certainly a learned, profound, and occasion
ally, eloquent exegesis of a text in Proverbs, viz :
He that ruleth his spirit is mightier than he
that taketh a city.” The performance, taken in
its entirety, did not, to say the least of it, dero
gate Irom his reputation as a rhetorician. On
Monday afternoon, I repaired again, at the ring
ing of the bell, to witness what was announced
in the printer’s bill as “ Sophomore Prize Decla
mation.” Fifteen young gentlemen entered the
arena. A few of the speakers were good—some
tolerable—and a greater number palpably infe
rior. Upon the whole, the exhibition fell far
short of the standard my anticipation had cre
ated. There was, throughout, an uniformity—a
monotony of posture, gesticulation and cadence,
which, whilst it masked too much of the artificial
as a necessary sequence, repressed, to the same
extent, the natural, which, after all, is the real
charm of oratory. „ It would be ungenerous, if not
cruel, to indulge in criticism, upon the perform
ances of gentlemen so young and inexperienced:
but I incline to the opinion that indiscriminate
praise, which is usual on such occasions is, in
the end, injudicious and hurtful as censorial
stricture. The one puffs up,and unduly
whilst the other discourages and mortifies. If
anything must be written, let it be the naked
truth. Where I cannot praise, 1 will not cen
sure. With the efforts of Messrs. Fleming and
Andrews, I was favorably impressed. The first
spoke with great animation, and appeared to feel
deeply and warmly the sentiments he uttered—
his enunciation was clear and distinct, and his
action graceful and appropriate. He certainly
made a decided hit with the audience. Mr. An
drews delivered a humorous piece. He mani
fested a clear conception of the spirit of the au
thor, and fully comprehended the import of the
subject. A littie more vehemence would have
made his declamation unexceptionable. Neith
er of these gentlemen received a prize. How
true the aphorism, de gustibus non disputandwn.
By 10 o’clock on Tuesday, I was again in my
seat in the Chappel, awaiting in almost a melt
ing mood, the beginning of the “ Jufiior exhibi
tion.” Half an hour after, the appointed time,
strains of music from the gallery indicated the
approach of some extraordinary event, and sure
enough, in walked, through the great door, IS or
20 aged and venerable gentlemen, yclept the
Trustees As soon as these dignitaries were
comfortably seated on the rostrum, the exercises
began. The first speaker u>as Mr. Chisiom.—
His subject was Chalmers and O’Connel, and I
must say in candor, it his speech was original, as
it purported to be, and 1 presume was, 1 never
listened to a production, from a College student,
so strikingly distinguished by a power of thorough
analysis—comprehensive range of thought--sym
metry of structure, and purity of diction. His'de
clamation, I regret to say, appeared to me rather
tame and passionless. Mr. Stanley had a well
written composition, which was well delivered.
Mr. Law pronounced, in the finest style of decla
mation, an oration redolent of classic beauty.—
Mr. Scott greatly interested his auditory. Sev
eral other gentlemen, whose names do not now
occur to me, were much admired. At the con
clusion of these exercises, the young Sophomores
who had competed for the prizes in declamation,
were drawn up, in line, in front of the stage.—
Before the presentation of the medals, they were
addressed by Mr. Hull. I wondered that pro
lixity should be indulged, and a display attempt
ed under such circumstances. The competitors,
tortuied with suspense, and absoiutely haggard
from inward emotion, it they heard, I will ven
ture to say did not apprehend a single word.—
The subject, too, was trite and hacknied, and a
restiveness to hear the award, was manifest
throughout the house. As the mercury, in the
shade,indicated blood heat, and the orator awful ly
afflicted with obesity, the liveliest feelings of
compassion were excited in the bosoms of the
humane. However, the end came at last, and
the prizes were bestowed—the first upon Mr.
Lyle, the second upon Mr. Holt. In the after
noon of Tuesday, the large concourse of visitors’
then in Athens, was regaled with an entertain
ment altogether d fferent from any that preced
ed, and by universal accord, adjudged to be the
very opposite of intellectu il. About twenty of
the s'udents, dressed in the most grotesque and
fantastical costumes, appeared before the New
ton House, attended by a myriad of negroes and
boys, who gave vent to expressions of the most
extatic gratification. And no wonder, for the
pageant was exactly adapted to the tastes of ne
[ groes and children. Two of these hopeful youths
I were mounted on a mule, bedecked with fools
: caps and bells—an apt emblem it was universal
| ly considered of the whole demonstration. An-
I other appeared in female apparel, thus stigma
tizing the softer sex. Tim streets were throng
ed with carriages that were freighted with bright
| and lovely forms, and it <s a marvel, that a stam
| pede among the horses, productive of the most
disastrous results, did not occur. The meaning
or intent of a performance so ridiculous, I could
not conjecture, If it had any latent or typical
significance, there was no intelligible revelation.
If there was any wit about it, it did not rise to
the surface, for not an observation was uttered,
nor an act performed that would have done cred
it to a sable denizen of Africa. It appeared to
' be the unanimous verdict of the grown up white
spectators, that the disgusting procedure origi
nated in a brainless cranium. The nonsensical
farce was unqualifiedly condemned by all, and in
an especial manner deplored by the friends of
the University. One gentleman from a distant
part of the State remarked, ia my hearing, that
he had designed to matriculate his son, but was
unwilling to put his hoy in reach of such an ac
complishment, It is, however, next to impossi
ble to suppress such silly freaks at Colleges. Out
of 150 young men, there will be always found,
at least twenty.soft-headed lads, or those upon
whose early training mothers have not bestowed
proper care and att ntion.
Wednesday was the great day of the feast.—
At an eaily hour, a compact crowd occupied the
floor and galleries of the Chappel. The curators
appeared in the same older, and assumed the
same postion as the day before. The prominent
actors in the drama were the “first honor men,”
as they are termed here—Messrs. Bull, Cum
ming and Hull. Mr. Bull was evidently the ;
master spirit of the day. His theme was “ Cu- 1
ba,” and altho’ his opinions were in direct an
tagonism to the sympathies and convictions of (
-his hearers, (he argued against annexation,) he i
nevertheless discovered, for one of his age, an <
Imusually matured and well disciplined intellect, 1
deep thought, and a rare degree of logical acnmen.
Mr. Cuouning's oration was replate with spark- i
ling thoughts, couched in chaste and mellifluous |
language. It was a glowing tribute to the feel- !
ing-inspired poet of Scotland—Burns. Mr. Hull
furnished proof of a refined taste, and cultivated
mind. The division of an honor, is a custom, l
believe, peculiar to Franklin College, and creates
among the outsiders no little confusion and per
plexity.
The proceedings of the Trustees have been
highly important and interesting. A Professor
of Mathematics has been chosen, who is repre
sented as a man of the very first order of ability.
He hails from Virginia, and is heralded as one of
the most distinguished graduates of her famed
University.
Dr. Terrel, of Sparta, has donated to the Trus
tees, $20,000 for the creation and endowment of
the Professorship of Agricultural Chemistry.—
The Faculty is now complete, and the College
contains all the mental furniture and outward
appliances, essential to a finished education. —
From what little I have been able to see, I re
gard it eminently worthy the patronage of Sou
thern parents and guardians. Traveller.
Correspondence of Ihe Constitutionalist 4- Republic.
Mercer University.
Mr. Editor: —Believing that many of your
readers would be interested in an account of the
commencement exercises of Mercer University
I have concluded to furnish you with the follow
ing hastily written sketch, which you may pub
blish if you think proper.
The commencement Sermon was preached in
; the College Chapel on Sunday the 23d inst., by
Rev. Mr. Mclntosh, of Eufaula, Ala. The Ser
mon was interesting and appropriate. That por
tion of it which was ad Iressed to the graduating
class was peculiarly happy and impressive.
On Monday morning, at the appointed hour,
nineteen young gentlemen, selected from the
Sophomore Class appeared upon the Rostrum as
competitors lor the prizes which are annually
awarded by the Trustees of Mercer University,
to the two best declaimers in the Sophomore Class-
A committee of seven, with Judge E. A. Nisbit
as chairman, was appointed to make the award.
The exercises commenced at 10 o’clock. I lis
tened with critical attention, to each speaker
from the time that he came on the Rostrum,
until he left it, and I must say that I not only
have never seen a Sophomore exhibition superior
to it, but I have never seen it equaled. I be
lieve this to be the almost unanimous opinion of
the large and intelligent audience present; such
I know to be the opinion of the committee of
award.
On Tuesday, a large audience assembled to
witness the junior exhibition. The exercises
commenced at 10 o’clock. Thirteen young gen
tlemen appeared upon the Rostrum. Their
speeches were all good none falling into tameness
, or below mediocrity—none rising into superior
excellence. Alter the close of the junior exhibi
tion, the Sophomore Class appeared in front of
■ the Rostrum, when Judge Nisbet delivered the
• prizes to the successful competitors, the first to
i Mr. Charles S. Faver, and the second to Mr. S.
> S. Campbell. Judge Nisbit, before he delivered
■ the piizes, entertained the audience with an ad
dress about one hour in length upon the subject
s of eloquence. It was an address replete with
r knowledge and wholesome advice, and fully sos
, tained the high character which Judge N. Las
t acquired as a profound thinker, an elegant scholar
and finished speaker.
I have before stated that the first prize was
• awarded to Chai les S. Faver, and the second to
• S. S. Campbell. The decision ol the committee
• may have been correct, but I dont think so—
Messrs. Faver and Campbell, both spoke well—
• very well—but it is the opinion of your corres
• pondent, that the first prize ought to have been
' awarded to W. I. H. Scott, of Morgan county;
■ and the second to H. D. McDaniel, of Atlanta,
s Ga. At 4 o’clock, P. M. the annual address was
» delivered before the Alumni Association, by Rev.
- Sylvanus Landrum, of Macon Ga.
3 Wednesday was commencement day. At an
■ early hour the spacious Chapel was filled to
■ overflowing. Exercises commenced at 10 o’clock
; The graduating class numbered fifteen. Only
, ten of this number appeared upon the stage, the
■ others having been excused. All the speeches
- were good—most of them evincing the first order
1 of intellect and mental training. We ascertained
from our programme that the first honor had been
’ given to Mr. F.ley, of Harris county. The se
cond to Mr. Lester of county, and the third
i to Mr. Seals of .
! I would like to mention, separately, those
l speeches which deserve special commendation,
• but want of space forbids; suffice it to say that
seven out of the ten speeches would compare
’ favorably with the speeches of any graduating
• class, any where, North or South. And judging
from what we have seen and heard we do not
• hesitate to say that the Students of Mercer Uni
versity, in the graces of oratory, and through
mental dicipline, are unsurpassed by the Students
ot any Institution in the Southern country. After
the valedictory the decree of Bachelor of Art was
conlerreJ upon all the members of the gradua
ting class.
At 4 o’clock, P. M., an address was delivered
before the two Literary Societies by Hon. F. S. j
Bartow. Mr. B. was so unfortunate as not to
have committed his speech to ntemory on account
of other business. He therefore had to read it, at
least he commenced and read about one third
through, when a dark cloud came up, and so |
darkened the Ghapel that he was unable to read
farther. He then laid his manuscript aside and
proceeded extemporaneously. And while I am
tree to confess that the portion of his address
which he read was chaste and elegant, yet 1
doubt whether fie would have expressed as many i
truths, so practical in their ch_racter, and so bene- j
ficial in their results, had he been able to proceed ‘
with his manuscript; as he did when untram
meled and unrestrained he spoke “in thoughts
that breathe and words that burn” of the duties
which we owe our country.
Respectfully, _
July 30, 1534.
P. S. the degree of Master of Arts was conferred
upon Messrs. T. J. Bowdoin of Jasper, R. H-
Mallary of Madison, J. G. Ryals of Cass, F. P.
Shropshire of Rome, E. A. Steed ol Colum
bia, William Bunn of Twiggs and J. M. Dyson
of Monroe County. g
Sweet Potatoes.—New sweet potatoes made
their first appearance in the Richmond market
| about a week ago. The Norfolk Beacon of
Wednesday last says : “Sweet potatoes in small
lots have been shipped to Richmond, Baltimore
and New York, from this market. They bring
$3 per barrel.
Ihe great Sewing Machine controversy be
tween Messrs. Howe and I. M. Singer & Co. ]
has at last been settled by a full license from J
Howe to use his invention in connection with
Singer’s admirabie and unequalled machines J
which must, without dout, greatly increase the’
already great demand for them. For a year past s
the manufacturers, I. M. Singer & Co., have "
been unable to supply them as fast as ordered. '
We understand Messrs. S. & Co., will imme
diately prosec rte every infringement on their 1
various patents, and as nearly every other ma
chine has infringed more or less on them there a
will be “ a good time” for the infringers. Those '

COTTON.—During the past week there has been a
fair demand, and the prices paid have been about the
same as were current last Tuesday, with the exception
ot the lower grades, which have been offered more free
ly, and have been purchased at prices a shade easier,
but not sufficient to make a quotable difference. Grades
ranging from Good Middling upwards are scarce, and
when put on the market, readily bring our figures. The
quantity offering is light, as are also the receipts. We
continue the quotations of last week, with the remark
that for the lower grades it is difficult to obtain our
figures.

g GROCERIES.—The fall supplies of our merchaut a
are daily coming to hand, making material additions to
• our former stocks. Business is also on the increase
as merchants and planters are sending down their or
-1 ders more freely. The calculations of our merchants
j are, that a heavy business will be done in this market
this fail—they have the means to purchase, and axe
buying large stocks, at low or cash prices, to meet the
' demand. By September, our market will be well sup
e plied with articles in the Grocery line, and we would
S ; advise our country friends, Merchants and Planters, to
r stop and give a look. If they can go further and do
better, we say do so.
DRY GOODS.—Me are pleased to learn, from several
of our wholesale merchants, that their fall supplies of
• goods will be much heavier than for many years past.
1 The encouragement they have met with during the
past season has given them more confidence in the

can lie duplicated in our market in the Dry Goods line
’ and on as good terms.
t BACON.—There is a fair demand for this article
i and sales are making by the hog round at 7i@7*o

• sale at 6@6j cents. The above quotations refer to a
sound axtiele. 1 here is some inferior Joint meat in

l CORN—There is still a fair demand for this article
, ; notwithstanding the receipts are oxi the increase. By

j ranging from 90 to 95 cents, sacks included. From
5 stores it is i etailing at sl, in small lots.
LARD.—Good is still scarce, and is worth 10 cents in
bbls., 11 cents in kegs, and 12 cents in cans,
j FLOUR. This article still continues scarce, and our
I Mllls are bus 7 grinding to supply the demand
i Holders are stiff, and we quote City Mills-at $8 for
