itotmg pspalcfj.l AUGUSTA.GA: Wriiieuh)’ Evenlni, Anguit 11,IN 58, Commencement Week In Athene. An opportunity has not presented it •elf sooner, to give our readers a famil iar line in reference to the Commence ment exercises of our State University. A brief account boa already appeared in em columns, and we shall, therefore, indulge in running comments, without reference to the programme. It was generally remarked that the Sopho nores gave promise of a large share of oratorical talent. The Declamation Prises were awarded to the two best speakers by Hon. James Jacx9on. Mr. Wm. A. Tihniixb, of Fort Gaines, Ga.. received the first medal, and Mr. S. S. Tijmmn, of Cush county, the second.— The address of Judge Jackson was in the very highest degree creditable and appropriate. He illustrated the nature and power of eloquence, and enforced | his theme in a style at once chaste, practical and eloquent. The Graduating Class numbered 12, and we wete favorably impressed with a mum her of the young men composing It. It may be unbecoming to meution names, but we cannot forbear to allude to our young friends, Hlmbeb, Prtch rrt, Bnaslsy, Noam and Adams, and to thus publicly congratulate them and their friends on the creditable manner in which they passed the trying ordea! •f graduation, and to wish them, as well as their associates, whom we have not the pleasure of knowing personally, a career of usefulness and distinction. On Wednesday, at the close of the exercises, the degree of A M. was con ferred on the following persons: Ed win G. Baxter, Felix R. Brown, James H. Neal, Eiiah H. Mills, Jerome C. Matthews, Samuel Elberhe&rt, James J. Morton, Elbert Milier, Robert R. Fudge, James H. Pearsons, Wm.B. Wash, W’.n. A. Clark, Lucius M.. Lamar, Wm. T. ■Harris, B. P. Hill, Cincinatus S. Guytou, Henry W. D. S. Ford, graduates of Franklin College, and on Williams Rutherford, Prot. Modern Languages, u. of Ala , and on Col. M. C. M. Ham mond, late IT. S. A. The degree of D. D. was conferred on Rev. P. H. Melt. The closing and crowning feature of the week, was the address before the two Societies, by George A. Gordon. Esq., of Savannah. His theme was, the Cultivation of Literary taste not in compatible with the practical duties of Life. We are incapable of doing jus tice to this Address, without appearing to indulge exaggerated praise. His il lustrations were elegant and forcible, tinted with classical allusions, and abounding in the happiest pictures from every-day life. Chaste and pure in style, lofty and yet practical in senti ment, this effort alone entitles the young orator to a place among the most gifted and accomplished speakers of the time; The oldest gentlemen present asserted that they had never heard a similar production of as much merit. This is a solid compliment, of more value than our mere opinion. We were much gratified to learn that the utmost harmony aud good feeling prevails among the students, and in the Faculty, and that all the Graduating Class leave with the warmest interest the success of the College, The num- j her of students is still small—hetweeu 90 and 90—and immediate material in ereaee should be the aim of every friend of our State University. It is to be hoped that our Legislature, so Kberal toward various local and sectional ap pi tear its for aid will see to it, that in its facilities for imparting a thorough edu cation, it be placed above want, and be made worthy of the State. We long for the day when it shall be made indeed a University, and when its students shall number hundreds —hut we fear it will, not come until the Legislature is relG'- j ed of the burden of p»‘ projects from j this aud that county, from this and that, end of the State—in short, until there j is more State pride, and less time .erv mgdemagogueism in its councils. The loss of Prof. Jones, who leaves the Faculty for a chair in the Augusta Medical College, is universally deplored by the friends of “ Old Franklin." He is a most accomplished scholar, and will be a valuable acquisition to the Medical College of Georgia. Athens teems with attractions to the visitor on an occasion like tins. Every- : body seem to have brushed up their I premises, and opoued their doors and hearts to those who come to visit their favorite temple of learning. Balls, par ties, and pleasant social re-unions, were the order of the week, and we have no where witnessed more genuine hospi tality, and elevated social enjoyment than prevailed amid the large circle of refined families of the town The iatch striag was literally outside—the peach orchard gates, as well as the houses, were open, and finer fruits never greet ed epicurean palate than those which abound about Athens. We must be pardoned for making special allusion to the delicious varieties at Dr. Ward’s and W«. N. White's, "mention of which was made in our report of the Borno logical Society, bht which we afterwards •“samjAed" ad lib, Mr Writs has Abort i .• I IbO varieties of rears, 50 of Peaches, 15 :1 jor 20of Plums,with Grapes, Raspberries.! \c., ot, one acre of ground. This acre lsj euelosed with an impenetrable hedge j of the “ Whir MeCniiney Rote," adopted for that purpose by Mr. White, aad be lieved by him to be very superioi. We! regretted that we were unable fai want! of time, to comply with invitations to visit the grounds of Dr. Cawak, who has devoted so much time to the inter- - estsoftlie State Agricultural Society,, and of Mrs Franklin, who exhibited a; very rare collection of fruits at the late Fair. Athens has improved mueh during, the last year, many new stores and pri vate residences of tsste having been! 1 erected. A number of these have been j designed and erected by our friend ’ Hughes, an architect of much talent; and exiK ricnce. Among the late improvements about the town, by far the most important is; the " Lucy Cobb Female Institute’’—j . so called in honor of n deceased daugb terof Taos. R. R. Cobb, Esq., whohas 1 i been one of the prime movers in tbe enterprise. It is designed as a first; class boarding school. We were polite-: ly shewn through the building by Mr. j Bkowne, the Principle elect, whoaliea j dy occupies a portion of it. It wili j i coutain room for about 75 girls ; and) the apartments arc all high, airy and j well ventilated, while the location, ini the environs of Cobhatu—is quiet and j accessible. We have nowbeie seen a school-building possessing more con-; veniences. while in appearance itisele ; gant and commanding, and an orna- j ment to the town. Our citizens know i Mr. and Mrs. 11. from their connection I with the Summerville Academy, and will, we feel safe in saying, find thej Lucy Cobb Institute a desirable place: at which to educate their daughters. We were gratified at the selection of| Dr. A. A. Fea.NKi.tN Hill, as the orator j before the two societies for next year.— i Dr. Hill seems to be one of tbe “ insti-j tutions” of Athens. An accomplish-j ed scholar, he is the pet of the ball . room, and social and affable, he is in j valuable as a man about town—being always at his post as captain of the “ Flying Artillery, ’’ and as a fireman, ■ ever ready, upon occasion, to run with! the “ mersheen.” Long may he wave, i There is a lively competition among, the hotels, at such occasions, and they j seemed to divide the rush about equal ly. With such ample hotel accommo dations and climate so agreeable, with , its other attractions, Athens should, .be a favorite summer resort. | But our people—good patriotic, aud , even fin; eating souls—many of them, i prefer to spend their summers and their money among the lions of Saratoga, | Newport and along the Bborc, while i , home-folks-even down to their strug- j , gling borne newspapers—are left toj starve out, or like the chameleon live j . on air. So we go. We do not mean ’ . to say that Georgians lack patriotism. , but there is a manifest and grievous de ficency of State prdt, the handmaid of patriotism. The Richmond Sooth on Virginia Sonndiicss. Prior of the South (Va.) feels called upon to act on the defensive. He says : j ‘ 1 To-day slavery stands upon a strong er basis, in Virginia, than at any form-; erperiod of its history," By debating the question, he admits I that it is debatable and doubtful. In his anxiety to preserve for Virginia politicians, the confidence of the pro slavery States, Mr. Pavon may have persuaded himself that he states the truth. But we prefer a more reliable evidence than mere assertion. In short,! we don’t believe that the basis of slave ry i» safe in Virginia against the Free soil tendencies of her own population. We present a few facts that have a , bearing on this question. The slaves of Virginia m.uiDered in— i iqea 472,528 469,757 increase in 20 yeais, 2,771 i If it were true that the aggregate of ! slaves iu a State, could be taken as an index of soundness, yet the above in crease of 2,771 is too unimportant to sustain the assertion that Virginia is stronger on the slavery question now than iu 1830. list it is the ratio of slaves to whites j which is to he considered, when inquir ing of the vitality which the institu tion has in any giver, region. The white population of Virginia j was in— -11850, 894,800’: 1830, 694,300; Increase in 20 years, 200,500: Thus, it is seen, that while she gain-: ed over 200,000 whites, she gained less 1 than 3,000 slaves, or more than 60 whites to 1 slave. The approximate ratio of slaves to I whites, was in— -1830, 1 slave to 1 1-2 whites. 1850, 1 “ “2 There can be no doubt that the'cen ausof 1860 will show a very large in crease of white population, above the natural. This will result from the in flux of whites from the free Slates.— The colonization projects of KliThatkr will add several thousand. Neither can there be any doubt that the total number of slaves will lie les sened, »> great. for severs! years past : has been the number of negroes brought j ! from that State to the extreme South . Probably the number of slaves In Vir-! | ginia, in 1860, will not exceed 450,000, j while the whites will certainly reach j 1,000,000. ! There were in that State, in 1850, j 61,935 persons, born il free States and I j foreign countries, which will afford an j idea of the stream of free iaboi now | pouring hi to take the place of her ex- j ! ported slaves. Two thirds of tbe territory of Vir-, ; ginia lies west of the Blue Ridge. The . white population of that portion, in; |IBBO, exceeded 870,000. The slave ! I population on the same territory was j i about 18,500, or 1 slave to 20 whites. ; i Novi, what strength bad the institution j !in that,’ two thirds of the State ’ It is j ! chiefly into the western part of that | State that fret lalior is migrating. ■Will it be said that this condition of ■ things in the Western part of the State i lias had no effect upon the feeling of ! tbe Eastern portions of the State ? We need adduce but one fact in refutation, j There is a paper, published in the city ! 'of Richmond, the great slave mart of j the State, which paper, professing to be-1 I Democratic, gives frequent vent to sen- j | timents equally as obnoxious as any i ! ever uttered bv Cassius M. Clay, or tbe i i j notorious Love.ioy who met his deserts ; ; several years since. We took occasion ; ! to alltide to this sheet some weeks since. j i lie editor, the son of a high official in j the State, boldly asserts that Virginia’s : j interests arc freesoil. In our opinion! ! he who poisons the mind of a white | man, on the subject of slavery is far ] more culpable than he who tampers ! with a few negroes. The reasons of; this opinion will occur to every mind. I We submit whether it can be. said that | 1 slavery is gaining ground in an original , slave State, when Influential papers de -1 clare that, in the event of disunion, ; ! the. State ought to join the free eonfed- j ; eracy. If public sentiment will tolor- j . ate such papers nud their editors, is : ; public sentiment sound there! j We are not surprised that Pryou ex-1 hibits an anxiety to efface, from the pub lie the memory, the conduct of T 'ir- 1 j ginia's Governor in'the late Kansas’ j struggle. No well-informed man can : j Ijeiieve that W se would have taken a ! | freesoil position if he had not well J known that he would be supported by a I strong freesoil party in the State. Storm It* Columbus* j Columbus was visited on Sunday night I last by a heavy storm, accompanied : ; with rain, hail and lightning. We learn , ! from the Sun that it did no material j ! damage, further than prostrating a few j 1 shade trees. It extended somo distance in the country, but was not as severe as 1 i experienced in the city. Ilu»*cJdc. j From a letter in the Miiledgeviile : I Recorder, we learn that Benjamin F. | Quitman, a respectable citizen of Coffee j county, was shot by a man named i Trli.is, at a Justice’s Court, without | provocation. Trllis has been commit ted to Irwin jail to await his trial. - . i Saw Cotton. The first bale of sew Cotton *t.-‘ re- * ! ccived at Columbus on Friday hut ! quality not stated—sold at 14 1-2 cts. ' ! The second bale was received on Hat- ■ j urday, and sold at 15 1-2 cents. A bale of the new crop was received I | nt Florence, Ga., on the 6th inst., and j sold at 15 cents-quality represented as very good. The first bale reached Macc , on the j 6th inßi., being twenty-two dayseailier j than the receipts of last year. It was sold for 15 cents. Two bales, one from Sumter county, . and the other from Houston, were sold in Savannah on the 10th iust., at 13 ! cents each—they classed Middling Fair. - Fibs at Sea.—We learn from a gen tleman from Nagg’s Head, says the Nor folk bay Book, that it wr« rcpoited there that the butt of a large side wheel***! steamer had floated ashore about five miles to the southward of | that place, having every appearance of j having been destroyed by fire, with the ; two large keelson pieces for the support ] of the boilers plainly visible, and ail of her timbers charred. Scientific. Arnoug the passeugers recently sailed 1 from New York in tbe steamer Moses Taylor, were, Lieut. Giu.rr, U. S. N. who by order of the Government, pro ceeds to Payla, in Peril, to observe the I Solar Eclipse on the 7th Sept, which; ! will be then nearly total—and M r . C. ' : Raymond, a sen of TV. S.

Soulhsoulan institute with every es-; j sential for the preservation of speci- i ; mens of natural history, intended for its splendid cabinet.

Rust in the Cotton Cbot.—A corres , pendent of the Enfaula Xative says : *•! j ; have been travelling through the cot- ; 1 ton-growing region of this county, and ' i from what I could hear and see, 1 am sat- j isfied the cotton crop will fall short of 1 last year. The red rust, one of the j most destructive diseases to which the ; cotton plant, is heir, set in early in the j season, and continued its ravages stow j ly up to tba first of July, at which I time, it spread more rapidly, destroy j ing as it went both leaf and form. The . caiterpiliar is also said to have coul- i menced its ravages upon some of the i. ■ river plantations ' THE LATEST NEWS. BY TELEGRAPH THE CABLE FLEET.

Therein nothing n the whole world that so quickly stimulates the Liver to a proper performance oflts functions as 1 DR. SANFORD'S LIVER IN VIGOR AT* >R, which k i almost instantly checks Diarrhoea.

MORSE'S !X V7GORATING COR ; DIAL. The dyspeptic patient, whose stomach ’ has lost the power of duly converting food into a j I‘fe-fiustr.iniug element, is relieved by a single ,! orar°e *f this extraordinary traic. The gastric fluid rt acquiree its solvent power, and tbecrude ■ nutriment, which was a load and a burthen to | the sufferer. wLile his digestive organization was 1 paralyzed ur.d unstrung, becomes, under the | wholgfome revolution created in the .?y.-tem, the basis of aciivHv, strength and health. The nervous sufferer, while tormented by the acute, physical agony of Neuralgia, Tie-dolcreux or ordinary headache, afflicted with vague ter ror*, wakened by periodical fit-:, threatened with paralysis, borne down and dispirited by that : terrible lassitude which proceeds from alack of ■ nervous energy, or experiencing any other pain 1 or disability arising from the unnaturalcor lition . of the wonderful machinery which connect* ev ery member with the source of sensation, mo tion and thought—derives immediate benefit ’ ’ from ifcc use of this Cordial, which at once calms, 1 ! invigorates and regulates the shattered nervous organization. Females who have tried it are unanimous in declaring the Elixir to be the greatest boon that • ’ woman has over received from the hards of ’ medical men. Morse’s Invigorating Elixir has a direct, im [ mediate and astonishing effect upon the appetite • While, it renews the strength of the digestive l ■ powers it creates a desire for the solid material which is to be subjected to their action. Aa *n [ | appetiser It lias no equal in the Pharmacopla. ! If long life and the vigor to its en -1 joyment arc desirable, this medicine is Indeed ol • precious worth Its beneficial effects are not confined to either ' sex or to any ago. The feeble girl, the a ling wife, the listless, enervated youth, the overworn j man of business, the victim of nervous depres sion, the individual suffering from general de | i bility or from the weakness of a single organ ‘ will all find immediateand permanent relief from the use of this incomparable rwo.ator. To those who have a predi*position to paralysis it will prove a complete and unfailing safe guard i against that terrible malady. There are many . perhaps who have so trifled with their constitu ■ lion that they think themselves boyord the reach of medicine. Let not even those despair.
