Annual l oiniurine iiieiif, J une 27, I BGI. BY REV. J. KNOWLES. Unexpectedly summoned to speak in this interesting presence—with mind and heart and hand largely pre Occupied with the unusu al and impressive scenes and events which, like frightful spectres, are ever flitting be fore the mind, absorbing our Waking and sleepiug moments —but little opportunity has been afforded for ealui and sober reflection and studied preparation for au occasion like this. And yet 1 did not feel quite at liber ty to decline the iuvitation so gracefully ex tended by your partiality. The uniform kindness and courtesy which l have always experienced in your favored community, du ring my pleasant sojourn and occasional vis its, caused me to desire to repay, in some manner, a debt thus gratefully and publicly acknowledged. In responding to your re quest, my chief difficulty lias not been the want of appropriate topics; hut, amid the themes and thoughts which rush tumultu ously upon the mind, 1 have been most em barrassed in selecting sentiments best suited to profitable itttvvanfe. \\ r e live truly fn eventful times. The Government founded by our wise and patri otic fathers, after a brief career of unsur passed prosperity and magnificence, has passed away. its glorious sun has gone down in clouds and darkness and blood. — We mourn its unhappy and untimely fate. The light and benefactor of the world —a friend and protector to the oppressed —a ter ror to tyrants and evil doers of high and low degree, aud “a praise to them that do well” —-diffusing all through the wide world, the principles of rational liberty aud Protestant lb publicanisin —we should be ungrateful aud degenerate sons of a proud and noble ancestry, could we, unmoved, look upon the ruins of this stupendous fabric. Indeed, the awful events uow transpiring, the horri ble spectacle now presented—wear rather the semblance of frightful dreams, than stern realities. The fact, however, can no longer be disguised. The old and stately nationality, in whose diadem glittered thir ty-three brilliants—the insignia of as many sovereignties, has fallen—gone, irretrieva bly, hopelessly gone, to the bonine of all sublunary things, never more to return. Standing upon its new made grave, with sorrowful hearts ami tearful eyes —-mindful of its great and brilliant deeds, its generous bestowments upon us, and those who pre ceded us—as we c ist the mantle of charity over its faults, we would not surrender our selves to unavailing regrets. The Uniou ot our fathers is gone, forever gone; but, from its crumbling ruins, in the hiuguage of Georgia’s great and honored statesman, “ VVe have preserved the Constitution.” — This glorious .fclgis of American liberty and Christian civilization, we have rescued from the burning, sinking wreck. Purified, like gold, by the tierce flames of a sanguinary struggle, may we not hope, devoutly hope, that, unimpaired, it will descend a blessing to succeeding generations. Quickly, almost unconsciously, we have been ushered mto anew political existence. It is true so much of the old Government framed by our revered ancestors, as was good, we still retain and cherish, with filial devo tion, as our own lawful and priceless birth right. This is ours —not only by bequest, but doubly so by the uudeviatiug devotion with which we have always ministered at the altars of Constitution*! liberty, and the un varying fidelity which we have ever brought to the discharge of our Constitutional obli gations. And yet, suddenly as has been the advent of this uow nationality, it was not altogether unexpected —certainly not unhe ralded. Latent causes have long existed, which have gradually worked out this lcsult. The final catastrophe has been hastened by two leading ones —Territorial expansion, and foreign immigration. The Federal Government was originally framed for an enlightened, homogeneous, Christian people —uot tor ignorant, hetero geneous, infidel rabbles —tor quiet, law-abid ing freemen —not tor noisy fanatical zealots, whose hypocritical professions of fealty to higher law, is used as a masked battery against all law, and all gospel. 1 have no hesitancy in saying, that to the great commercial centre of the North, may be traced those primary cam.es which have ! precipitated this fratricidal and bloody revo lution. Teeming with people of every dime, with every variety of customs and antece- j ents —convuhed with tierce moral, political aud social antagonisms, it has been the great emanating fountain, which has sent forth its poisonous streams into every pait ot the land. The South, in some degree, has been con taminated by moral, social and commercial ‘ contact with this modern Babylon, reeking * in all manner of licentiousness. Especially ‘ has sbe become politically liilected, by in haling its poisonous vapors. The North have long been the silly apes 1 aud sycophants of royalty. Adopting the 1 opinions and lasliions of European Courts, they have far surpassed them in showy ex- < travagance, pompous parade, and unblushing i licentiousness. The South, hy free inter- i communion and inter-mixture with the i North —by educating in too many instances her sons and daughters in its schools and colleges—by devouring its ho iks and peri- 1 odieals, and adopting its fashions, was fast losing its hornogeneousness and republican simplicity. Adopting the illusory notion that wealth, dress, luxury and effeminacy are the true badges of respectability, and 1 the only legitimate passport to high social position, the American mind has run mad upon the subject of money, and become wild in frantic efforts for its attainment,.— This spirit has pervaded all sections and all classes. A fierce scramble for tnouey —mon- ey to le boarded for the gratification of a grovelling pride, or squandered in ostenta tious extravagance and display. To meet the unreasonable ami arbitrary exactions of this morbid and hurtful condition of public sentiment and feeling, thousands have donned the nemblnuce ot wealth at the ex pense of honesty and virtue. The country has been infested with fast young women, aud, if possible, still faster young men.— There has been an utter prostration of all family discipline, all veneration for parental wisdom and counsel, and, consequently, the demoralization of society at large. Lawless ness at borne and abroad is a discouraging I characteristic of the age. j * Entering, a* wo do, upon anew national* career, amid clouds and storms similar to •hose which marked the heroic struggles of our ancestors for the achievement of their independence, it is eminently proper that wc should imitate the noble example of those illustrious patriots and sages—thus showing to the world that we are worthy sons and daughters of revolutionary sires and matrons. So far as mere government is concerned, Mr. Stephens, in a recent speech, very truly remarked, that the revolution now going on, is at the North rather than at the South.— Ours is the true A merit an Nationality.— We are merely struggling for the maintaiu ance and preservation of a principle which underlies alt republican institutions, viz : “ The rbjht of the people to govern them selves.” This is all icc ask. This, however, does not suit the North, nor meet the exig encies of their changed c m litionr- “To con trol and keep in subordinati >n the turbulent spirits which have Keen gathered there front every part of the globe, and pampered and nursed into political excesses by selfish, fa natical and corrupt leaders, requires a stron ger government than that formed ers of the republic. True, the North have suddenly become enamored with the Consti tution and prate most eloquently about “the enforcement of the laws; 1 ’ but they have long recklessly disregarded the oue, and ruthlessly trampled upon the other. Happy would it be for the South, if hereafter a wail so high should stqiarate us as that no aspir ing /Eromuit could ever surmount its alti tude. I say this, not in a spirit of sectional hatred or bitterness, but from a conviction long entertained, and recently confirmed, that, from a variety of causes, we must be two separate peoples—two distinct nationali ties. It is a high tribute to the wisdom of the fathers of the old government., as well as to the conservatism of the South, that we have found the old Constitution, after an experi ment of more than three quarters of a cen tury, exactly suited to our present condition and wants. Afiiictivc and annoying as the Union had become in many respects, it would have remained unbroken to this day, had not a pledge been given to the people, in advance, that whilst the old Union was to be thrown off, the old Constitution was to be retained, and cherished with increased devotion, and guarded with untiring vigil ance. Yes, my friends, our free institutions yet stand where our fathers placed them, upon the right if the people to govern them selves. Standing up m this firm, defensible and enduring basis, and appealing to Heaven for the purity of our m >tives—who more worthy than ourselves, to Hoat those “stars and stripes” which were proudly unfurled nearly a century ago by the heroes of the revolution? 1 thank Hod, that although the old ship of State has gone down amid sectional storms and breakers, we have saved the old chart and pennant. The first—replete with tin; life of anew and vital recognition —will be found securely guarded in the ar chives of our national capitol,the other graud ]y waves over our victorious legions. And here, my friends, right here, a great and vital question arises—one of momentous interest to us and la-ting importance to those who are to succeed us. It is, whether in our changed relations, we shall be able to maintain and transmit the government of our choice and adoption? A satisfactory solution of this problem depends entirely, under God, upon the character of the gov erned. It must be worked out upon the black-board of time. It is a problem, my fair auditors, in which you are deeply in terested, and with which you have much to do. Upon the moral and religious as well as the intellectual training of those who go forth from our teeming schools and col leges, is involved the safety and glory of our new Republic. We have long believed that Christian ed ucation is fundamental to all stable and beneficent government. An ignorant and besotted populace may be controlled by bristling bayonets—none but an enlightened and Christian people can be governed by moral suasion. Lot other nations govern by force of arms—be it, our lofty aim, to live under the miid sceptre of the “sword of the spirit”—the word of God. All history declares that mere mental il lumination is no guarantee to liberty, law and order. The Duka of Wellington once forcibly said, that “education without relig ion only makes men clever (smart) devils.” The Prussians have a wi*o maxim, that f i —-- yon would have appear in a na tion’s life, you must put into a nation’s schools.” Hence you will perceive that the office of a teacher is not only one of great digni ty, but also of great responsibility. If l could but feel that all the youths of our land would grow up under the hallowed influences and teachings of Christian homes and Christ ian schools, I should have no apprehension in regard to the strength, durability and beneficence of our new Republic. Ordained of God, and under the fostering care of suc cessive geoorations illumined with that wis dom which cometh from above —pure, gen tle, peaceful —it would be “like a tree plant ed by the river,” with leaf evergreen, yield ing flowers of beauty and fragrance, and fruit for the healing of the nations. The great want of iiie age, is enlightened Christian statesmen. Without them, it is idle to hope for good government. Os pol iticiuns, great and small, masculine and fem inine, we have had a disgusting surfeit.— Like the locusts and grasshoppers of Egypt, they have swarmed the land and well nigh devoured every green thing. An eminent British statesman once observed, “that though politics was the most difficult science to mas ter, yet every body professed to be thorough adopts in it.” Had lie lived in the middle of the nineteenth century, nud intermingled largely with American society, he would not probably have modified his views. Let us fondly hope that with the downfall of the old and venerated govern meut, the reigu of political charlatans and demagogues is ended. That, hereafter the management of our po litical affairs will be committed to statesmen of pure morals, lofty and unselfish patrio tism, and Ibidoubted wisdom and integrity —men well skilled iu political aud ethical science, who well understand the structure of society, the spirit and wants of the peo ple, and who, with earnest zeal, will strive to elevate and dignify the masses. Asa grand and leading instrumentality in Governmental Reform, I look hopefully to our schools and colleges. We have now reached a point, where we are thrown not only upon our material, but also upon our intellectual resources. Shall wc prove to the world that we are entirely adequate to I the work of self-instruction as well is *df ’ protection T That we can dispense with foreign teachers and foreign text boots? . What say you, my fair auditors? Will y (l „ enlist in this good war and never fohi your beautiful arms nor strike your glisteu ing colors, until the South shall achieve her literary independence? You are not blessed with the optical obliquity of the Elbert heroine, who could, at the same time, sight a musket and watch her culinary. Nor is it desirable that you should be. For the im partial historian frankly remarks, that Nan cy Hart was not only horribly cross-eyed, but terribly cross-grained; more formidable as a soldier, than amiable as a spouse; aud rather given, withal, to tillibustering in her own pent up, domestic Utica. But there is much and appropriate work for us all to do. If left undone, our new nationality may prove a brief, sickly, disas trous experiment. Nor can this work be .p istponeibto an indefinite and uncertain fu ture, The present is the plastic period, when everything is in the formative process. \Ye may stand still and fold our arms, but this process will go rapidly on—whether for grtod or for evil, will be determined by the influences and appliances to which it is sub jected. What agencies, what forces, so powerful as educational? The South with her vast material resources; with fast mul tiplying and varied pursuits —thus early in her history, springing into full and earnest activity—in the very infancy of her nation ality, demands a wise aud harmonitma edu cational system, to exert, as the presiding divinity of our political institutions, a re-cre ative and reformatory power upon untaught and undisciplined mind, and to diffuse through the whole body politic the health fuluess of anew and conservative vitality. There is no time to lose in the application of the agencies which are to mould public mind, and instil public morals. The South has to work out her own great destiny. I pray that it may be illimitable; glorious and enduring as the sun and moon. It may be so, if man aud woman, like those great lights, will move steadily aud unitedly on iu their oppropriate orbits f making radiant and beautiful their respective spheres with deeds of light. The experience of the past, and the obser vation of the present, shows that the South must have a civilization of her own, or none, j Shall we not then, I ask you, —ye men and women, who grace this auspicious occasion —shall wo not with courageous and trustful j spirits, as wc lean over the cradle of our new-born nationality, with deepest solicitude, seize, and hold with unyielding grasp, those great moral and intellectual agencies aud instrumentalities which shall bear it upward to its grand and beneficent culmination ? So that in our vast forests, on our expansive prairies, over our verdaut hills and fields, through our smiling vallies, along our mighty rivers, in our floating navy and mar shaled army, over our iron pathways, iu oar mechanic and machine shops, and mails ot commerce, — rpetogwhere, shall be seen and felt the impulse and imprint of Christian ed ucation. Some of our gifted educators have left the temple of learning, and valiautly rushed to the battlefield. I appreciate their mo tives and feelings, but regret their couise. — 1 say it with due respect and deference to to other professions, wc can better give to the sword, any other class ot our fellow-cili zmis (not even excepting editors, those uni versal philanthropists and bcuefactors) than efficient christiau teachers. Let such, then, tarry in the school-room not 1 until their beard grows,” hut until their locks whiten in the God like work of mental and moral illumination. If we rightly interpret the signs ot the times we are not likely to have a season i.u listless indolence, or “elegant leiauie. Even now the heads and hearts ot au aie enlisted for the achievement of Southern Independence. The industrial revolution at the South, is quite as remarkable as the po litical one, by which a nation has been born in a day. The sentiment of patriotism which lias fired the hearts aud stint to the battle-field our young men aud old men (the venerable Grice, of your city, among the rest) has also awakened a responsive echo in the hearts of mothers aud daughters, aud engaged their willing hands in labors of love and mercy, and dieted feats ol heroism woi thv of the old American revolution. Have we’ not recently read of the daring and no -1,1,, conduct of two young am! accomplished ladies of Virginia, who, to save our forces from fatal surprise, started from their homes in Fairmont, Marion county, disguised and unattended, and performed on horseback a journey of more than thirty miles between six o’clock in the morning, and two o’clock in the afternoon; often seized and detained by Lineolnites, but finally eluding their vig ilance, and performing their patriotic mis sion in safety? The names of these two noble heroines, are, Miss Addie Kerr and Miss Mary McLeod. Their courageous acts will form a bright page in the glorious his tory of the second American Revolution, and will be read aud admired by coining gen e rations. Everywhere at the South are the women actively engaged in making garments for our soldiers, and otherwise liberally contrib uting to their comfort. Should this unhap py conflict, be prolonged, you, young ladies, will doubtless have an opportunity of prov ing yourselves ministering angels truly, to some father, brother, friend, who may re turn disabled aud mangled from the field of carnage, or wasted by disease. How beauti fully is woman’ll character and mission illus trated by Mary, the mother of Jesus! How touching the memorable words of the Sav iour, uttered from the cross —“Behold thy Mother! Behold thy Son!” Words a<l dressed to our common humanity, and suited to all time. An English author, of the olden time, thus quaintly portrays the Gdy of “the old en school” : “ She was marvellous debonair, and piteous to them that ‘ were sick, and comforted them, and served them right humbly; nd gave them larg.-ly to eat such as they asked; but to herself she was hard in her sickness aud scarce, for she refused to eat flesh how well she gave it to others, and also to drink wine. She was oft by them tliut were sick, and she laid the pillows aright and in point; and she rubbed their feet, and boiled water to wash them ; aud it seemed to her that the less she did to the sick in service, so much the less service did she to (iod, and deserved the le.-s mercy; therefore she was to them piteous and nothing to herself.” In modern times no one probably shines so conspicuously as the soldier’s friend as Florence Nightingale—a name happily adop ted by one of your Societies —as she lingers like an “augel of goodness” in tbe hospitals of Crimea—hovering around the bed-sides of the maimed suffering soldiers VOLUME XXXIX—NO 16. smoothing with her own hands their pillows —cheering their despondency with gentle •rdsj providing them with suitable nourish mi nt and muses—and looking after their pi ncra comfort, la so much that a poor sol ■ j , . passing over his l*d seemed to do Wm = Tem i , u well describes U.e feel.og. of , w warrior under such gentle nor duo in the following beautiful liues:— “ A kindlier influence reigned*,aud everywhere I,ow voices w ith the ministering hand Hung round the sick. The maidens came, they talked, They sung, they read, till she, not fair, began To gather light, and she thas was, became < Her former beauty trebled! to and fro, Like creatures native unto gracious act, And in their own clear element they moved.” A word to the graduating class, in addition to the weighty and appropriate counsels of your worthy President. Your college exer cises are ended. The ties which have bound you to classic scenes and associates, are for ever sundered. Like Eve, driven from her happy Eden, you go forth from your colleg iate paradise, with mingled emotions, to en counter the vicissitudes of ordinary life, whilst memory fondly lingers over the bright and beautiful reminiscences of scholastic days. You enter upon life’s active drama at a time when it beho<f\es ait to perform well their part. Have you reflected that you are the Alumnae of anew epoch?— That upon your diploma is inscribed a new’ and momentous era? “The first year‘of the Independence of tbe Confederate States of America? That you leave your Alma-Ma ter under the auspices of anew nationality, —baptized, it may be, iu the blood of a father, brother, lover. 1 almost envy your lot. You will not be called upon to encounter the bloody onset of the battle-field, nor the fierce strife of political and military rival ship. These, happily, come not w ithin your sphere. In your own pure and quiet homes, you will find appropriate employment in the discharge of domestic duties—in the culti vation of those benevolent and kindly affec tions, and holy aspirations, which so eaalt and adorn the female character; and as you go abroad, scatter around yon those timely benefactions and charities that make this life so beautiful and blessed, and which yield in the great harvest of eternity a hundred fold of immortal delights, to regale us in the life which is to come. In view of the event |ful present, and thrilling future, I could ut | ter no more appropriate parting words than the following, from the gifted pen of Mrs. [Sigourney, whose honored name is borne by one of your Societies:— “Lite is mournful, — its duties Cluster ’round each passing day, While their sweet and solemn voices, Warn to work, to watch, to pra? ; They .-done, its blessings forfeit Who by sin their spirits cheat, Or lo slothful stupor yielding, Let the rust their armor eat. Life is beautiful—affections ’Hound its roots, with ardor cling, ’ili.t its opening blossoms nestle, Hirdhke, in its brunches sing. Smiling lull its cradle slumbers, Guard with pride its youthful bloom, Fondly kiss its SDotv-wliitc temples, Dew its turf-mound o’er its tomb. Life is beautiful—with promise Os joy that cannot fade, Lite is fearful, with the threatening Os an everlasting shade; May no thoughtless wanderer scorn it Hlittdly lost in lolly’s maze; I)utv, love and hope adorn it, Let its latest breath be praise.” From the Richmond vVu ) Enquirer, July 2. ili iilinn! AeliiCveuieut. Another of those daring and successful enterprises which have so frequently distin guished our men, took place last Saturday, resulting in the capture of the line steamer St. Nicholas iu the service of the United States, and running from Baltimore to Washington, aud three other valuable prizes. On Friday eveuiug about 4 o’clock tbe steamer left Baltimore for Washington. Among her passengers were thirteen brave Marylanders, of whom Col. R. Thomas was j chief. Lieut. G. IV. Alexander, with an other party, came on board, and took pas sage for Washington. Having resolved to take the steamer, aud determined on the plan of operations, early on Saturday morn ing they proceeded to put it in execution. The two officers and their friends seized their arms, and demanded a surrender of the vessel, ihe Captain and crew surrendered without resistance and were immediatlely confined. The steamer was then placed un der command of Capt. Hollins, late of tho L uited States Navy, who guided her into Cone river, near the mouth of the Potomac. He thence sailed down the Potomac, and on his passage captured two schooners and a brig. One of tbe vessels was loaded with 11,500 bags of coffee, one with about 200 tons of anthracite coal and the third with about 200 tons ot ice; the value of which, with tbe steamer, which is a very la*rge one, must amount to a very haudsome sum of money. All of the prizes were tyken to 1 Fredericksburg. V ‘J lie Captaiu aud crew of the steamer and prizes, some forty in number, were brought here yesterday in charge of Lieut. Alexan der and have been safely housed in the building oil Main-street used for the pur pose. With such a feat as this before their eyes, the people of the Southern States will per ceive that to come up to the Maryland boys will put them up to their full mettle. All Uonor to the heroes, and honor and congrat ulations to all concerned in ihe affair. Solemn Incident. — Gov Ellis sent iu to tho North Carolina Convention the dis patch of Col. Hill, published elsewhere.— When the closing paragraph was read, a deep, thoughtful solemnity was manifest on every countenance. The venerable Judge Ruffin improved the serious moment by a tew well-timed remarks, suggesting that when the members went to their respective lodgings they would retire, bowing before God, iu tbe language of Col. Hill, “give unto His great name all the praise of our success. Singular Detention oe a Railroad Train. A Conductor on the Nashville Kail road informed us a tew days ago, that bis train was stopped by an emigration of army worms crossing the track. They were over an inch thick, and the wheel of the locomo tive, when it came upon their midst, whirled round and round as if the track was covered with ic?, and would not move an inch for ward. Tho train was backed out and the track cleared of the worms with shovels. —* Louisville Courier.
