tbe near so onerous, you resigned your Profes
i rship here, atnl accepted tho Presidency there.
After twelve mouths had passed away, our wor
:. v President being called by his church to per

were elected, by the B.vird of Trustees, to till the
vacancy, but from various reasons, were about to i
decline . we, the students of the College, knowing
full well the relations that would have to exist be
:ween the President an i ourselves, knowing von.
tin J forbearance, your tender heart, and gushing
ivmpathies—wishing the institution that we in

reed you to acquiesce.
From that time until your resignation, never
;. 'o did an act of vours cause, on our part, the
..st degree of malignancy or ill will. Ever at
Mated bv those high and noble impulses that are
si predominant in your nature, your chief desire

sad esteem, by a strict perseverance in duty, and
' ree obedience to law, bv appealing to our better
.figment and higher feelings, rather than by ex
tag fear of punishment. Long, sir, will trorr
i. i'-r that earnest and fervid appeal that fell
{■ im vour lips, when you first assumed the Pres:
- rial chair, conjuring and beseeching us to co

_ d order and harmony of the College, as well as

i.e lute of Orpheus, it captivated and won,

i-r chord and thrilled through every fibre of oil'-

Dr. Means replied in the following chaste and
appropriate address:
dly Esteemed Young Friend:
A personal appeal from you would, I trust, a;
anv time, secure from me a prompt aud respectful
attention. But on this occasion, when you are tin
constituted organ of more than one hundred youug
hearts, whose kindness and sympathy find eloquent
utterance in your address, and whose respect and
esteem are so impressively exemplified in this rich
golden souvenir which I now receive at your hands,
1 confess that your claims are immeasurably en
hanced, and J can very inadequately express the
emotions which I feel. ’
Less than a fortnight ago, the intelligent Senior
Class, of which you are a member, through one of
its esteemed and worthy representatives, tendered !
me an evidence of their confidence and respect,
which shall be cherished through life, and on
which my- children’s children mat lean in o!d age,
arid bless the donors, when their beloved ancestors
—its humble recipient—is resting with his fathers.
But scarcely has my grateful heart ceased to throb, j
when 1 find the same spirit of noble kindness per
vading the entire body of your College ; and vour
several classes have conjointly summoned nfe on
this memorable day, to an exhibition of their gen
erosity and esteem, which diffidence and seli'-dis I
trust would have scarcely authorized me to expect,
but which awakens some of the tenderest sensibil- '
ities of my nature, and furnishes one of the most j
touching incidents of iny life.
And should the future history of the College !
ever require an allusion to the recent unpretending '
incumbent of the Presidential chair, and his ne
cessitated retirement from its duties, he desires
that tliis unsolicited, but crowning manifestation
of vour ingenious attachment and etgoem, at an
hour when lie was about to take leave of vou ofti- :
cially sorer-r, should be mentioned in that refer-:
ence, that, should it be worth the thought, posterity
may at least] know that though our long standing |
and intimate relationships were this day dissolved,
th n List % fare-well found the heart of the President
and pupils locked alike in the embraces of an in
creased and undying attachment. Circumstances
which it may not he proper on the present occasion
to detail, have unexpectedly, but Providentially, 1
trust, led to this final and painful separation." 1 j
have, however, been constrained to yield to their !
pressure, and sunder the ties that "bound us in
iiumble reliance upon the Divine sanction. You i
will pardon, I on an occasion like the present,
a brief reference to my personal history in its con- j
nection with (he origin and progress of an institu
tion which I now leave, and which you are about |
: to claim as your Alma Mater.
Twenty-me years ago, then, yielding to th
claims of the Church, and the convictions of duty, •
1 abandoned a lucrative profession, and as the pin- j
neer of the educational enterprize projected by the i
i Georgia Conference, and under its direction am! ]
patronage, 1 set out in my new career. In March,
lsß >, I entered an unbroken forest upon yon neigh
boring hills, and there, amid the inclemency of a
loug protracted winter, the earth carpeted with a I
heavy snow, and the leafless oaks stretching tlieir
stringy arms in gloomy silence above, in a small i
rabin, humbly resting beneath their giant forms,
the solitary teacher commenced his responsible
work with twelve young pupils. Then was the
tender slip planted, which has since grown with j
cheering iuxuriance, until the mantling vine has :
extended its branches over the laud, and to-day
furnishes iis rich cluster to surrounding States.
Again, seventeen years ago, on a calm, clear dav,
when the sun of Heaven was near his meridian,
the recipient of vour bounty, with several honored
sons of the Church, some of whom now rest with ■
the just, while others yet live, was found kneeling
in the suppliance of prayer, within t. few yards of
the spot where he now stands, while another vir- !
gin forest overhung the worshipers, and the scared
wood-birds fled from their nest to other retreats,
that Religion and Science might claim and conse
crate the place, and Architecture lend its skill to
beautify and adorn it. Behold the transformation.'
The temple of learning in which I stand, over-tops
the forest, and Oxford, in its rural beauty, stretches
far around it.
No wonder, then, that a thousand thoughts come
swelling up with the memories of twenty years, to
cast tlieir shadows over this parting scene. At
such an hour, young gentlemen, your kindness is
refreshing as the spicy gales of Arabia at eventide,
to tliu foot-worn traveller, panting from the dust
and heat of the desert. While I retire, then, from
this field of labor, aud leave so many 1 love, still 1
go not alone, and the smile of Go l has ever con
s'ituted the “ ultima, thule" of a sanctified ambi
tion. As I have never altered mv land-marks,
nor abandoned the purposes of my childhood, 1
hope to hear with me, therefore, in my retirement
these priceless companions of my life. Nay, more.
You have this day commissioned me to take more
this embodied and invaluable exponent of youi
young and ardent friendship—unpolluted by the
sordidness of self-interest, or the calculations of a
worldly policy.
Yes,’ young g. ntlemen, your beautiful gift shall
be a nln:liter of wisdom to my future years.
Long, long shall its costly and uncorruptible metal
remind me of the priceless value of a spotless rep
utation. to the young and tiie old ; and the bril
liant jewels that unostentatiously repose in its
bosom, simulate tiie resplendent assemblage of
Christian virtues that should ever blaze in the
depths of the human soul. The soft metallic ring ,
of its polished machinery shall often discourse to
me the memories of bye-gone College days, and
College friends, and register the flight of the pass
ing hours, that are soon to separate me foretet
from those you represent, as well as front my es
teemed associates in instruction, who have ho j
long with me, tread your halls itt obedience to the
louder tones of your venerable bell.
From its well balanced and busy wheel work, too. •
moving under the pressure of it? elastic main
spring, I shall be content to learn a lesson of pa
tient equanimity and sleepless activity in the per- ;
forinance of duty, and strive to move steadily on,
until like its own spent forces, “the weary wheels
of life s and still at last.” While iis, golden indices, '
stealing silently around the endless circle of tho '
dial-plate, shall ever present an expressive emblem j
of that noiseless eternity, which never chimes the ■
passing hour.
Never, Oh ! never, can I forget lovely remein
brances of the past, and faithful chronicles of the
present hour; that princely liberality which re- .
moved thee front a shining group of golden sisters ;
in a distant city, and commissioned thee, as a
messenger of peace, to soothe an anxious heart,
and irradiate an humble home. Thy career begins
iti a mission of love, and the emotions which it. j
this day stirs shall pulsate in the hearts ol another
generation. Young gentlemen, 1 estimate your
gold by tiie common standard in the world’s mar
ket, but I value your gift at a premium which the |
wealth of the Rothschilds' would fail to pay. And
should adverse fortune await me, (which, mar j
kind Heaven graciously avert), should my little
estate dwindle down to dimes, and the hungry cor
morants of the law enter the cheerless house of iny
wife and little ones, to glut the appetite of unap
peased creditors, let tiie simple story be told, that .
tlieir rapacity may relent over this precious relict
of other days. But, if when farm and furniture,
and homestead are gone, like the ungorged daugh
ter of the horse-leach, they still cry “give, give!”
then let them turn my shoeless feet to the ground,
and iny coatless back to the blast, but still, oh!
still, let them tear not from n;y warm embrace this
priceless treasure, stamped a® it is with the affeo
! Bona of the young, and rich with the memories of
twenty years "devotion to their brightest interest for
earth and Heaven.
And now a few general reflections, gentlemen,
and I have done.
Generosity and gratitude are twin elements m
the character of a"magnanimous mind, and are a
sure guarantee of noble results in the future.
They are h.ftv, God like virtues. And as educa
tion enlightens, and Christianity softens human
character, man becomes, in that ratio, elevated and
refined. The simple exhibition of this day. there
fore with which, it is true, I happen to he person
allv'connected, is but the orient glow which fore
tokens the brightness of the coming day. Cherish
these amiable virtues, young men—the world has
„ced of them, and is waiting with open arms to
■ welcome vnu to a wider field for their display.
Her honored and her useful sous are falling at them
posts, or retiring, from necessity, to leave tlie the.
tre of action open for you. , -
Bwepose, therefore, vour heads and hearts for tne
responsibilities and the honors which await you.
\nd when years have bleached those locks to
snowy whiteness, this beautiful and faithful chro
nometer shall have well nigh numbered my days,

chance to catch the accents of praise, bestowed by I
a discerning public, upon one of vour beloved

i me thinks, an old man’s blood would hound more

j And at last, when watches and clocks have

An Eloquent Letter.
The following letter from President Pikbch was
received by the Mercantile Association of Boston,
in response to an invitation to attend, and partici- \
pate in the celebration, in that city, of the birth- !
day of Washington. We have never read a nobler -
i or more truthful and eloquent tribute to the !
| Father of his Country, expressed in so few and ,
simple words. President Pierce, in the power to j
1 move the patriotic hearts of his countrymen, either !
by spoken or written language, has certainly few
j equals;
Washington, Feb. IS, 1850.
Gentlemen: 1 duly received your letter of the
I 31st ult., inviting me, in the name of the mem
bers of the Mercantile Library Association of Bos
ton, to join with them in celebrating the approach
ing birth-day of Washington. It would be most
grateful to me to listen to the instructive thoughts
aud eloquent words which will, on this occasion,
j be addressed to the association, but this, of course’
will not be in my power.
I honor the purpose of rendering the tribute of
your affectionate reverence to the memory of him
who was the hero of our Independence—the stutes
j man of the revolution—the foremost among the
founders of the American Union.
! He lived the leader # and the guide of our fathers;
he died to become the type of greatness to us and
to our posterity. It is no fabulous glory which
surrounds his name; his are no doubtful linea
-1 ments, delusively magnified to the eve in the dim
obscurity of antiquity. He stands before us ih the
clear light of history, with all his faultless propor
tions of mind as of "person distinctly visible.
Whether in war or at the head of armies, or in
peace at that of cabinets—whether in the exercise
• of public authority, or in the calm scenes of cov
eted retirement—his entire life military and civil,
i public and private, is one long lesson of wisdom
and of instruction to his country. Ilis career pos
sesses a completeness, his character a dignity of
style, his fame a noble symmetry, which will cause
him in all time to stand forth as the representa
tive man of this Republic, and the model patriot of
the world.
If the people of every State and Territory of the
Confederation—fathers and mothers, suits and
daughters—would assemble annually on the 22d
of February, in their respective cities, towns, and
hamlets, and listen to the Farewell Address of the
Father of his Country, it would, in my judgment,
accomplish more in the way of awakening a deep
sense of constitutional duty, of settling questions
of moral obligation in relation thereto, of eradi
cating sectional prejudice, of dissipating errors of
sentiment and opinion, and of insuring security
aud perpetuity to the blessings which wo enjoy,
than any other instrumentality which man’s wis
dom can devise.
In pausing for a day, as you propose, to dwell
upon the great life of Washington, and to call to
mind all the patriotism which, by act and by
speech, he inculcated, you cannot fail to refresh
the love of country in your-breasts, and to feel
your own hearts swell as his, through life, never
ceased to do, with a devotion to the common weal,
not narrowly confined to place or section, but co
extensive with the broad limits of the Union.
With my best wishes for the usefulness and en
joyment of your gathering, I am, gentlemen, your
obliged friend and servant,
Franklin Fikiu k.

Tho Administration Supplying News to
Great Britain ->lr. Craniptou -Walker
at Odds with Great Britain.
Washington, March 1956.
Different reasons are assigned by the friends and j
opponents of the Administration for laying the in- j
complete correspondence on the enlistment quo-- J
tion at this time before Congress, it is admitted I
that the negotiations cannot he considered as j
closed till tho arrival of Lord Clarendon’s reply to j
Mr. Marcv’s despatch of the 28th December, de- !
manding the recall of the British officials implica
ted in tiie recruiting business, but it was said that
owing to the suppression of the facts in the case |
by the British ministry and press, its publication I
was necessary to enable Parliament intelligently to
discuss the subject. Lord Clarendon having re- i
fused to communicate to Parliament the corres
pondence, our government has assumed the office '
of enlightening them, and, I am informed, that a
copy of the pamphlet containing it was transmit- 1
ted by Saturday’s steamer to each member of the
Houses of Lords and Commons.
The course of the Administration in involving '
Great Britain in difficulties with this country, such
as, probably, are not consonant with the wishes of
the British people, is calculated to procure the i
overthrow of the present Ministry, as well as the ,
succession of a ministry more disposed to a eon- j
eiliatory policy in reference to the United States.
Os course Mr. Crampton’a singular conduct in I
withholding, for three months, Lord Clarendon’s
proposal for arbitration on the subject of the C'en- j
tral American dispute, is construed unfavorably j
by the Administration. It was a brief letter of i
three paragraphs, and the British minister’s ex- [
euse is that he “overlooked” the paragraph re- i
questing its immediate transmission to the State j
Department. According to the unfriendly theory j
of some, Mr. Crampton purposely overlooked the j
paragraph, and tried to withhold the pacific stig !
gestion, until the two countries should be so hope- ]
lesslv embroiled on the question of the Clayton-
Buhver Treaty, that his recall or dismissal might |
take place, without the necessity of assigning the j
enlistment question for a rupture of our diplomatic :
relations with England, and lie could retire without
amipersonal responsibility for such an event.
Walker's annexation oi Mosquito territory to
Nicaragua, if enforced in the spirit of his decree,
seriously complicates the Central American ques
tion. it is throwing down a guajitlet to England, ]
which that government will not be slow to take j
. up. She has assumed the protectorate; of that j
! country, and has no notion, it is imagined, of be- |
ing so" unceremoniously ousted of her authority i
there. It will he remembered that in 1848, when J
the Xicaragoans undertook to assert jurisdiction |
in Grevtown, the British government promptly ex- !
polled their officials and soldiers, and replaced the I
| British Mosquito flag, which still waves over the j
: town in place of the Nicaraguan. Captian Locke j
also pursued the forces of Nicaragua up the river, |
: and that feeble State was only too glad to make its ;
peace bv a formal renunciation of its sovereignty
over Grey town, in the following language:
“ The government of the State of Nicaragua
, solemnly promises not to disturb the peaceable in
habitants of the port of San Juan, with the under
standing that such an act will be considered by
Great Britain a declaration of hostilities.”
Treaty of March. 8, 1848.
If Walker attempts to do the same thing, he will
display more hardihood than any of his former ex
ploits gives us reason to anticipate, especially in !
view of the fact that a hostile league of four Con- j
tral American Slates is already threatening the situ- j
bilitv of liis government. j

The most extraordinary discovery in the World is the
Great Arabian Remedy for Man ami Beast.
H. G. FARRELL'S
CELEBRATED ARABIAN LINIMENT.
riMIE beautiful and fertile region skirting the j
8 desert of Arabia, abounds with rare plants j
and odorous woods, whence are procured those aro- j
mafic gums and balsams of which this Liniment is j
composed, and by whose stimulating, unctuous and ■
penetrating properties it is, when applied, diffused j
through the whole nervous system, allaying the ;
most intense pain in a few minutes. Try it, when '
you will he convinced that no preparation possesses
111 so high a degree, its perfect anodyne qualities.
Its action is prompt and effective. It penetrates j
the flesh to the bone, relaxes contracted cords, re- i
storing use to limbs paralysed for years, and where j
the flesh has wasted away, leaving nothing but
skin and bone, excites a healthy action, causing
new flesh to grow out and fill up the shrivelled
part. It restores the synovial fluid or joint water,
and this is the reason why it has been so success
ful in diseases of the joints. In affections of the 1
Spine, Liver, Lungs and Kidneys, this great rente- >
dy stands before any other ever produced. For
ague cake or enlargement of the spleen, it is a spe- j
citic. For any internal inflammation, you will find
it gives great relief. It has no equal in the world j
for Rheumatism—also, cramps, swelling, numb- 1
ness, weak joints, Spine and Chest, pains, wounds, j
chilblains, burns, sore throat, bites of insects and ;
reptiles, salt rheum, warts, corns, mange, and in
deed nearly all diseases which require an internal
application, and many others, are greatly benefitted
by it. It is used externally with great success in j
goitre, or swelled neck, Scrofula or King's Evil,
Liver Complaint, nervous diseases. Ac. For Horses ;
or Cattle, it is as effectual as in diseases of man. j
Will cure any case of Sweeney in existence ; also.

Look out for Counterfeits !
The public are cautioned against another coun
terfeit, which has lately made its appearance, called 1
\V. B. Farrell’s Arabian Liniment, the most dan
gerous of all the counterfeits, because his having
the name of Farrell, many will buy it in gooa ]
faith, without the knowledge that a counterfeit ex
ists, and they will perhaps only discover their error
when the spurious mixture has wrought its evil
effects.
