After the conclusion of the Vaiec’iaory, the
degree of A. B. was conferred upon the gra
duating class, a list of which you will see in
the Banner. And the degree of A. M. upon
several young men of our State : among whom
were Messrs. J. M. Cason, W. Harris, S. M.
Stmng. and J. A. Wingfield.
Dr. Church then proceeded to deliver the
Baccalaureate Address, which was done with
much case, vigor, and effect. No man could
f,]| the presidential chair with more dignity
and decorum, r.or no public officer is entitled
to greater respect and gratitude than he who
ro w presides at the head of our first literary
institution. To rightly appreciate him, a voting
man should have been graduated at least two
or three rears. Me then looks back, itr.em
bamassed hy feeling or prejudice, and sees
tho-c little errors that he once deemed formi
dable b'emislies, the first of virtues ; and him
whom he onre viewed as a tyrant, now chang
er! "nto the friend, the instructor, the parent.
This is but a poor tribute for one, to whose vir
tues 1 was so long and so wilfully blind.
On Thursday, the Commencement Orntion
was delivered by ourdistinguished citizen, Mr.
A. H. Chappell. His speech was character
ized bv a luminous consideration of his sub
ject. perspicuity of style, and a profoundness
of argument, seldom heard on such occasions.
He seemed to disdain the gorgeous trappings
of figurative language, and to rely solely on
the stronrr grapple that reason tOK. s upon the
mind. He did not rove discursive over the
flower-decked parterres of literature to Coi." c *
its sweets, and then serve them up in the usual
way to nahites already nauseated ; but march
ed boldly forward panoplied with those ada
rmntine truths, that through all time past and
nil time to come, have told so effectually, upon
that great propellinar power of the mind, civ:!
government. In fact, all went to the chapel,
anticipating an address equal to the high repu.
tation of the orator, all left it, satisfied that our
eminent townsman well deserves the elevated
position that he now occupies amongst the
dismiisbed statesmen of Georgia.
The people will not fail to discern who can
serve them, when times of momentous import
ance shall approach, although talents and merit
are often forgotten in times of party intrigue
and party corruption. S.

STAGE-COACH RECOLLECTIONS.
NO. I.
Salem, N. C. July, 1839.
Mr. Editor :—Whoever has been so for
tunate, or unfortunate, (as the case may lie.)
to be one of a number of passengers thrown to
gether for a long journey, within the four walls
of that ponderous thoroughfare for travellers,
a nine passenger coach, may long remem
ber the developements which ure there unfold
ed, in the deep and intricate science often
’vclepped, “ poor human nature .” Imagine,
then, gentle reader, (for I will not venture,
Mr. Editor, to suppose that your readers are
not gentle,) the writer bidding adieu to his lov
ed home ; the scenes dearest to his heart ; the
interesting associations of business and social
intercourse, severing the cherished ties of kin
dred and society with but a shake of the hand,
or, perchance, a fraternal embrace from a
heart where we have been long accustomed to
find a more than ordinary share of congenial
affection, at once destined for other and distant
lands, and enter into a circle of strangers,
draivn, perhaps, from localities far wider spread
than our great Union itself, where no chord of
sympathy is awakened, and where the burst
ing heart find no response; deeply, indeed, is
the desolation of that moment —but it is past —
nor will I further detain you, or fatigue your
readers by attempting a description, my own
feeble powers might but very inadequately con
vey.
Waving again and again a last adieu, we
soon found ourselves rolling over the beautiful
bridge which connects our city, and, after a
few cracks of the driver’s whip, the lively
sice Is unconscious of the widening distance by
which they were separating us from our friends,
soon carried us over hills which shut the city
from our view.
Whenever some nine goodly pair of limbs
are thrown together within a space of six
feet by four, in a confusion, whereby each
owner dare hardly claim his without some dis
tinguishing mark, there must necessarily ensue
a familiarity, developing every trait, and soon
opening a knowledge of the character and
pursuits of each individual, a kind of voluntary
clectro-mngnetic influence, bv which each,
from curiosity to know his neighbor’s affairs,
is ready to contribute his own to the general
stock. Hence, from a day or two’s acquaint
ance in this way, we become as social, as, un
der other circumstances, we might scarcely
have been in as many years.
Among the gentlemen of our company,
Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia and North-Ca
rolina, were each ably represented, the third,
perhaps, excepted, and the local politics and
municipal regulations of each liberally discuss
ed from respect to the ladies of the party,
those matters in which they were most inter
ested, received our earliest attention. In the.
state of Louisiana, we learned that a wise and
salutary provision exists in behalf of the rights
of females; the wife, not only being secured
in the unalienable right to what estate she may
bring into the common stock, but also the in
come which it would produce at the legal
interest ol the state, out of her husbands ef
fects, in the case of her survivorship ; hence,
said our representative from that interesting
state, we do not say, we go to a man’s house,
but rather to his wife’s house; a valuable re
gulation by which the wreck of many an in
teresting family might be saved, and the sweet
endearment of a home to those who are liable,
by the reckless spirit of speculation, immoral
or intemperate habits of their other halves, to
be banished from their domestic altars.
Our sister, of South Carolina, into whose
territory we entered the third day of our jour
neying, not having had a representative in the
original formation of our company, one soon
offered himself, in the person of an intelligent
emigrant from the Emerald Isle, who had been
fonje ten or fifteen years a residont of that
state. With the characteristic sincerity of
that generous people, be soon unfolded his
views of our political relations, declaring, that
the price of the Union had been already cal
culated, and the probability of its long conti
nuance become problematical. But while we
have undoubted testimony of the dangerous
tendency of so frequently agitating tlie public
mind on a subject so vitally destructive to the
best interests of our great republic, may we
not hope, that the public worth and distinguish
ed talents of her great men, some of whom
are undoubtedly among tlie first in the Union,
will be exerted to the high purposes of healing
those deep wounds which, in the days of their
misguided zeal, the asperity of party spirit has
inflicted upon that state?
We had occasion to notice n valuable fea
ture introduced into the militia system ofSout'n
Carolina, which might, perhaps, be worthy of
imitation in our own, the review of regiments,
once during each administration, by the Exe
cutive, in person ; nothing, perhaps, is better
calculated to secure attention to this important
feature of our institutions. Wc met Governor
Butler and staff, on his tour of Review, in Lau
rens' district. His Excellency has a fine
looking intellectual countenance, with much
of the open prominence of features, indicating
a benevolent mind. Is’ ould, perhaps, men
tion, by the way, that, at the time we met his
Excellency, we were enjoying the exclusive
right of a rail road, having ridden one for
some thirty miles.
Good, old, honest North Carolina, the
land of comfort and good living, now opened
upon us; she was introduced by one of her
most generous sons, whose pistol, in pocket,
was never drawn, but generously offered to a
friend, and never missed fire but for the want
of being charged. Noble heart; we left him
with regret, near his home from which he had
been JoPC absent, and hope that, in the kind
congratulations of his family and friends, lie is
now enjoying the nweets of his domestic circle,
for which we, too. mrt v often sigh before re
turning to its social endearments.
Here, in »his quiet little Moravian viffagft,
we propose making a short iOsi, where, ii time
and inclination permit, I may write you a,main.

THE POST-OFFirE, AND IN THE REAR OF (ADJOtNINO)
THE READING ROOM OF THE MACON LIBRARY SOCIETY.
MACON:
Saturday Morning, August 11, 1838.
The indisposition of every “ type-setter” in our
office, last week, is our excuse for the lute appearance of
the “Post” to-day.
!Kr Wc learn, from a subscriber in Warrenton, that
our paper of July 29, No 40, was not received hy any
of our subscribers in that place : we can assure them
that the package was mailed, and, therefore, cannot ac
count for its failure. We have re-mailed that No., with
the present, to the subscribers at that place.
The present are times for enjoyment and plea
sure. The Springs are all the rage now; every body is
going either to the Montpelier or Indian, and our city is
almost deserted. The Camp-meeting, too, takes its
hundreds away. The times, the place, and the people
are exceedingly dull, and we hope to be pardoned for
being so ourselves.
QCr Emanuel DeLaMotta, senior editor of the 11 Sa
vannah Republican," died on his passage from Phila
delphia to New-York, (on the 25:h ultimo,) whither he
had embarked for the benefit of his health. His re
mains were interred at New-York.
IKT* The National Intelligencer says: “Gen. George
•McDuffie, (late Governor of South Carolina, but better
known as a distinguished Representative in Congress I
from that State,) passed through this city, yesterday j
morning, on his way to take passage at New-York for
Europe. We are very sorry to learn that his health is ;
not as good as his friends could wish.”
{rJ~ The Southern Literary Messenger, for August, [
has come to hand, iaden, as ever, with its rich an J va
ried matter. We have not time for a close insight into .
its pages. But can promise the reader a rich treat in its
perusal.
JCr The Knickerbocker, and New-York Mirror. :
have been received; they will have a perusal by our

DS* We have received a number of the Farmer’s :
Register, a neatly printed periodical from Petersburg, i
Va. It is replete with many interesting articles on the ;
various branches of Agriculture, and would be a most I
valuable addition to every intelligent Farmer's periodi
cal reading. Notwithstanding the prejudice among I
many of the Farmer’s against "book farming,” we ;
would recommend them to the use of such a work as j
this. Our State and people,generally, are considerably ;
behind hand in this important matter, and there is no- i
thing we desire to see so much advancing as this mo
ther of ali art and science. Nothing indicates stronger
an advanced state of cultivation and an intelligent peo- j
pie. The following are the contents of the number
for August:

We have Leon politely furnished with ccp.ua of the
fallowing circulars from the Lanka of Cherleatort and
Savannah. By which it will be perceived, that the
banks of Charleston wifi resume specie payments on
the Erst of September ; and those of Savannah, on the
first of October next. It may be then expected, of
course, that the banks in the interior will likewise re
sume soon thereafter. The people may now calculate
on the certainty of this long talked cf, and much desir
ed, object being speedily accomplished. We have but
little time or space, to speak of the banks of Savannah,
in regird to those of this place. The result will cer
tainly be much more injurious to herself, than to the
city of Macon, or other places, which have beea par
tially, and ouly partially, dependent upon her.
Charleston, S. C., 2 i August, 1333.
To Geo. Jewett, E*j., OJi nudge: B ink. Geo.
Sir ; — A'though, at the time, when the Into conven
tion of the banks of Georgia and South Carolina was
held in this city, the banks of New-York had resumed
specie pavments, there was no satisfactory indication
that the resumption would soon extend to other States.
The resolution a.lop'ed by ihe convention of hanks re
cently held in Philadelphia, to resume on the 13 h ins',
has, therefore, produced a very important change in the
circumstances which governed the deliberation® cud
decisions of the convention held in this city. Under
the belief that this change of circumstances would ren
der a corresponding change of poliev an important
dutv on our part, a conference was held on the lat
and 2 1 ins-ant, bv committees from the fallowing banks
of this city, viz: The Bank of the S'a'e of South Caro
lina, The Bank ofSouth Carolina, The Union Batik,
The Planters’and Mechanics' Bank of Sooth Caro
lina, and The Rank of Charleston, at which the pream
ble and resolutions subjoined were unanimously adop
ted. snd have received the sanction of the said banks.
The first of September ensuing, you will sc-e, has
been fixed on ns the day for our resumption of specie
payment®, an earlier dav was proposed and would have
open preferred, but for considerations of courtesy to ihe
other institutions represented in our 9‘ate convention,
ns it was deemed proper that they Should have time to
consider the subject, and to resume simultaneously with
us, should they approve that course In the hope that
the call made upon us by the action of banks in so ma
ny of our sister States, our resolution will have your
approval."
We are, respeetfullv, your obedient servant,
JOHN S. COGDELL, Chairman.
Prei mble and resolutions adopted at th° meeting of
committees of the following banks, held on the 2nd Au
gust, 1933, at which John S. Cogdell. Esq. President of
tlie Bank of South Carolina, presided, viz:
From the Bank of the S'ate of South Ca olina.
“ " Bank of South Carolina.
“ “ Union Bank of Siuth Carolina.
“ “ Planters’and Mechanic’s Bank of 3 C.
“ “ Bank of Charleston—viz:
Vl'hercas, the resolution adopted by the convention
of (be bJnks of Georgia and South Carolina, held in
this cii”. on the 22d and 23 J days of May last, to resume
specie pav.nents on or before Ist of January next;
whilst it ensurbJ a general resumption,in the two states,
on that day, was a.- ’ designed to meet such changes
in the policy of banks a. a chance, as were then deem
ed possible or probable. Anil, whereas, the course
adopted by the banks of New-a ork, in May .as', in re
suming specie payments, as now a,. --J.' to be pursued
elsewhere, and the recent proceedings in 1 .'uacelphtc,
which have resulted in an agreement by the batf'S re
presented in the convention recently held there, to re
sume, on the 13 h instant, leave no uoubt that the im
portant work is now in actual progress. And, whereas,
it is the bounden duty and the true poliev of the mo
nied institutions of the country to promote, by all means
in their power, the desirable object of an early general
resumption ; and the change of circutns’anees ab >ve
referred to, leave the banks of this city, as we think, free
to act without a violation of courtesy to the other in
stiiutions represented in the convention, and as we
trust, without the hazard of undue pressure upon our
community. Therefore,
Resolved, That the several banks, here represented,
do agree to resume specie payments on the Ist Septem
ber, ensuing.
Resolved, That a copy of the foregoing preamble and
resolution be forwarded to the several banks represent
ed in the convention held in this city, in May last; and
that ttiey be respectfully invited to unite in the measure
above adopted.
Tlie Presidents of the rcvcral banks were appointed a
committee to carry into effect the second resolution, and
John S. Cogdell, Esq. named chairman of the com
mittee.
Savannah, 6th August, 1833.
To John T. Lamar, Esq.. Cashier, ijr.
At a meeting of the delegates from the different banks
in this city, to take into consideration the propriety of
an early resumption of specie payments, the following
measures were proposed, and unanimously adopted :
The hanks of Savannah will resume specie payments
on the first day of October next, and invite the banks
of ihe interior to do so likewise.
The banks of Savannah will receive the bills of all
the country or interior banks in good credit, on depo
site, or in payment of debts, but not re-issue them, pro
vided such banks, (except those of Augus a.) agree to
redeem their balances in this city, every fortnight, with
city or Northern funds at par, or specie; and that such
agreement shall be consummated by such banks with
the banks of the city on or before the first ofSeptember
next.
Resolved. That a copy of the foregoing resolutions
be furnished to the several banks in this State.

COMMENCEMENT. *
This College festival has just pas red, having
drawn together a large concourse of visitors,
though not its accustomed numbers. It was a
proud day for ®!d Franklin, and one to which
her friends may recur in after years with de
light. She has on this occasion sent forth to
the world, to mingle in the varied and arduous
duties of citizens a large and talented class of
young men admirably prepared to ornament
the varied spheres in which they may move.
And if after years do not number many of them
among the first spirits of the age, we shall
conclude that they have disappointed the high
destiny which nature designed and a liberal
education so admirably fits them for.
On Tuesday night the Junior Exhibition
took place, which was highly gratifying both to
the friends of the institution and the your.g
gentlemen who figured on the occasion.

In the afternoon of Tuesday a very appro

before the Aluami Society, in a style which
did honor to the head and heart of the speaker.
Such was the number of Speakers from the
Senior Class, that they were compelled to ex

At 10 o’clock, A. M. on Thursday then
Hon’l. A. H. Chappell, of Macon, delivered an i
oration before the two Societies. To those j
who were not present, we cannot hope to con- j
vey an adequate idea of the excellence of this •
production—without any ostentatious display, j
it was replete with sound logical views, formed
after the most approved models of classic lite
rature, and breathed throughout a most fervid
and enlarged benevolence for his country, its
institutions and citizens, which drew forth from ;
an intelligent and delighted auditory their un
qualified and cordial approbation.
Mr We 1 ave re-rived the following extra from the
Darien Telegraph, and are at a loss to conjecture its
full meaning, as, we presume, our readers will be. A
few days will, however, solve the mystery.
Office of the Darien Telegraph.
August 4, 1838.
It is with mortified feelings that we have to announce I
to our readers that we will discontinue the publication j
of the Darien Telegraph for the present.
Our friends may be assured that it is no slight ccu®e [
that leads us to this course. When we say. that if ice |
do not do so, our house will he burned—oar he’plots, in- j
nocent children and beloved wife, murdered—and the few j
gallant friends we have, sacrificed —and that property j
would be destroyed in the city, that fifty years would j
not replace—we "say the truth. But enough, at present.
Those who are indebted to us will please make im
