Eighteen years ago, upon the -•j..,: -elicitations of its friends, you abandoned • liaising and lucrative profession, one that had M ; rears of hard labor and toil to acquire, ~; j united your destiny with that of the College -prise; a mere College in embryo, without , any hope of reward, save the satisfaction living performed your duty, and having served jr dav and generation. From that time until ••resent, with the exception of a fleeting twelve i lis, this spot aud these halls have been the . j-, of vour labor aud care ; their denizens the •ts of your solicitude and prayer. Here the rears of your life have been spent; your once .. j locks have blossomed for the tomb, in i. ling and improving the youthful mind; in smelling the vouth of the land to a sense of the arw responsibilities that the church and country i» . i impose upon them, and in preparing them £ ) nit and fight their way “through the world’s id field of battle.” Thousands of men are - ..twred ov< r this and the adjoining States, win lav look back to you as their benefactor and de : -r; as the one who led their youthful fee; , igh the paths of science and virtue; whose •„ I admonitions and counsel redeemed them from . ssipation’s death, the inebriate’s doom, and point ; i.ein to the star of Bethlehem. Vour mail ed rears have been spent in a noble cause—-the ;j.i f humanity, of Christianity, and of Cad. >r this life of sacrifice, of usefulness, aud piety, a have won a renown more lasting than mar more durable than granite.

After spending the ■si Tears of your life in laboring for Emory Col „• •, au i site yotiug men that assembled within - walls, fooling that your feeble health, and fasi : ling strength were no longer able to withstand .- heavy taxations that were made upon them, _i proff-red the Presidency of the Southern Ma . ai: Female College, where your duties would 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 :orm the high functions of the Episcopacy, you 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 lifted to claim as our Alma Mater, to retain her ii:ue position am mg the different institutions, and mowing that your powerful and well stored mind, our extensive reputation in the world of science .aJ oratory, would secure to her that posi- 1 a_ we sent you a petition to accept the l eitioX), and become our President. Coming, as : did, fiora the students of the College, your gon •mus and sympathetic nature could not forego the •quest, although interest called you elsewhere, hut 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 :.us been to advance our interests, gain our love 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 -ate with you in your efforts to preserve the _ d order and harmony of the College, as well as ; iromote its reputation abroad. Although (for > fa! of the pledge that we made on the memora occasion, > we often heedlessly and willfully ! id College law to your knowledge, yet never . . ;,, t ye you coma to us in the robes of office, or »:a the \ v and of authority, but as a kind parent ••anVus do better. Although our thought •nsness and eiTors, our delinquencies and wanton ' -s often causeti you pain, vexed you sorely, am! •furred your reproof, yet never once did that re •roof come in denunciation or threafenings. But ike the diapasons of sweet music that flowed from i.e lute of Orpheus, it captivated and won, mbdued every rampant feeling, touched every ten i-r chord and thrilled through every fibre of oil'- nture ; and frequently a silent tear might he seen -yitlv trickling down the delinquent’s cheek. And i’leJwe acknowledged our wrongs, seeking for at don you did not threaten or menace us with he .-xeutfon of College law, but with kind admo riition and counsel, hale us go aud sin no more, of.en in vender old chapel have we heard your ,-ending to Heaven in our behalf, commit ting this institution and ours.-lves to the care of • , i and invoking his blessings upon us. In a «■ •.1 sir no career was ever blended with more of kindness and love, purity and piety, high-minded and mi maulv bearing than your Presidency of l.inurv CM lege* Deeplv have we lamented your Nsignation, and would' gladly, yea, instantly re, ai.' r. if we could; but, Sir, as the time for parting fas 'line, we caunot let you leave us, without mak ing soLte demonstration of our affection and es our borrow aud regret f«>r vour aepai ture.

True. sir. this occasion is not the result of kingly over, or the offspring of national approbation, brilliant disnlav, or dazzling pageant.

There is not one of us that would cause you a pang intentionally for the world, and when we have seen that we caused you pain, vou never regreted it more than we. We must now bid you farewell, perhaps a long, non farewell. Go on in that magnanimous life of ; Usclttlness and pietv. that for the last eighteen years you have so faithfully led, and when vou I shall have passed away from earth, vour name will i be hallowed by posterity, a name that will be for- ! ever bright in the world of literature and oratory • • an example that sires and matrons, in coniine sears, will teach tlieir sous to follow and emulate. Born. sir. in the vale of obscurity, having com menced life under circumstances of misfortune and calamity and I speak not inthe language of adu lotion m our course has been onward and upward brighter aud brighter still, until you, to-dav, stand' ! among the lirst men of the nineteenth century. Go oil proud comet, in your brilliant career, through the firmament of science and love, and when your earthly brightness shall have become ! lost in the eternal splendor of a Heavenly crown, j you will leave behind a mourning, vet aii admir ing world. 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, and rav valued staf* shall no longer support the heipiess&ess of tottering ago. bhould my dull ear I ijold headed Cane, presented a few weeks be i fore by : v 'a feygior £!«*», chance to catch the accents of praise, bestowed by I a discerning public, upon one of vour beloved number, for sys talents and his worth, even then, i me thinks, an old man’s blood would hound more freely through these collapsing viens, and a smile chase the cloud from his fading brow, j And at last, when watches and clocks have marked the last midnight of the world, aud the Resurrection morning has opened, big with the 1 destinies of the living nations and the rising dead, ■ may the endeared honors of this cherished offering 1 of gratitude and love, be allowed to hail the happv ! I recipient of their kindness in the blissful home of 1 | the redeemed in Heaven. EST” The Savannah Republican , of yesterday says: The Governor has appointed the Hon.

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. Messrs. Charles G. Chase, Carlos Pierce, W. 11. Learned, Jr., A. F. Sise, Edward Foster, Com mittee. From the New York Evening Post. 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 ADMINISTRATRIX SALE. awyiLh be sold, at the Lower Market House, W W ill the citv of Augusta, Richmond county, j accordance with an order obtained from the j Ordinary of Richmond county,) on the first Lues- j day in ABRIL next, between the usual hours ot j sale, all that Lot and improvements (on which there is a Brick House), in the city of Augusta, on Ellis street, having a front on Ellis street of 2‘.y, j fcet, and running half way through back to the j south.

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.
