tija life. verdure of ilioir boat ai:tl imppieit duys have been buried ! 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.

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. gcDOTEIIIIBU TOOT. OFFICE t’NDT.R THE CENTRAL HOTEL, TIIIRD DOOR ABOVE 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.

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.

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.

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.
