Death of Hr. James Erwin.
“To live in hearts wo leave behind
Is not to die.”
This venerable and aged citizen of our
village departed this life on Monday last.
For several years past he has been afflic
ted, and for the last few months confined
to his room. Mr. Erwin has been for a
uumber of years a consistent member of
the church, showing by his exemplary con- j should wrestle for it until the blessing was
Commencement Sermon.
On Sunday last the Commencement
sermon at the F^prie College was preach
ed by the Rev. W. R. Branham, from
Mark 14—1st clause of the 8th Terse:
* “She hath done what she could."
The interest of the occasion was much
enhanced by the zeal with which the
learned Divine handled his subject, and
the truly pathetic appeals he made to his
large congregation but more especially
to the Graduating Class. At first view
the subject might' seem . inapplicable to
the time, but a close analysis, and a near
connection with the cause of the utterance
of these words will dispel the delusion.—
The object of the minister was to show in
general that Wyman’s mission was one of
love and charity—that though frequently
censured for deeds good in their intent,
yet they, like Mary of old, had their re
ward in anapproving conscience—he urg
ed that all like her, who anointed the Sa
vior with precious ointment, should seek
the Kingdom of Heaven in their early
days—that now, at _this day, it was the
time to choose the good part, which iu
after life the cares of the world could not |
take-away; for. the time was coming
when they would find themselves per
plexed with the everyday duties of the
matron, which to some extent would with
draw their thoughts from a subject not
only serious but sublime in its nature—but
that while unencumbered by the ordina
ry avocations of life and having the aid of
Professors competent to instruct in all
matters of science, well prepared to
lead them in the way of obtaining that
pearl of great price, eternal salvation, they
duct that he had indeed been born again
from death unto life. As a citizen his
copduct was irreproachable—as a neigh
bor he was kind and obliging—as a friend
true and faithful—and as a parent and
husband, ,tender and affectionate. He
leaves a large number of children and
grand children with an extended number
of friends to mourn his loss. But like
the Patriarchs of olden time, being full of
years, he has been gathered to bis fathers.
In connection with the death of a near re
lative, there is a beauty in the contempla
tion of the immortality of the soul.
“Immortality o’ersweops
All pains, all tears, all time, all fears—
and peals
Like the eternal thunders of the- deep,
Into my ears this truth—Thou liv’stfor
ever.”
The Stilesboro’ Institute.
t ■ The annual Commencement of this In-
■ntitution came off on Wednesday the 29th
ultimo. We regret very much that we
were unable to attend in- person, and wit
ness, the proceedings. From a friend who
whs present we learn that the entire ex
ercises were highly creditable not only to
the Faculty, but to all the students. Sev
eral of the addresses, it is said, were noted
lor their chasten css. of style, and logical
reasoning,' while the young gentlemen ac
quitted themselves handsomely in decla
mation. The Institute is as we. are in
formed in a flourishing condition, with in
creasing prospects. Its location is in a
healthy and interesting portion of our
county. Success to the Institute and all
other institutions, whose objects are the
improvement of the young, and the dis
semination of useful information.

Cassville Female College.
The examination of the students of this
Institution has been going on for the past
three days, and has been well attended—
both by the patrons of the College, and
the public generally. The proper train
ing of the Creator's “last, best gift to
man,” is the only hope for the country,
bestowed by Heaven. He dwelt with
much feeling on the value of the matron,
who rose early—and that turned her
hand to. what she might find to do—and
that in such an one her husband would ev
er put bis trust—that she was the sharer
of his joys, and his comforter in the time
of troubles, and the ornament ofhis house
hold.
Several practical matters were introduc
ed to illustrate these facts, and to show
that “a woman that fearcth the Lord she
.shall be praised.” lie stated that while
personal beauty might lade, and though
woman might, and must nccessarially
grow old physically, yet in feet they
should never grow old—that with a mind
well stored with an useful fund of know!
edge—and a heart filled with true reli
gion—though cares come—though fortune
might frown—and though all on earth
might be taken from her, ever, to the near
est and dearest of earthly ties, yet the
heart of that woman wty> had the religion
of Christ in her soul, still could be young,
and smile sweetly amid all these dispen
sations.
The concluding remarks to the Gradu
ating Class were eloquept and touching
—he reminded them that thoueh they
were now about to pass from those classic
walls, and had finished as some would
term it their education, that instead there
of, they had just commenced—that on re
turning from their Alina Mater to return
home to those fend parents and dear re
latives who were anxiously looking for
their arrival, they had much to do on
their return—that they must fester and
cherish the declining days of that fether
and mother who nourished them in their
infancy^ and who had furnished them
with the means of obtaining an eduction
—that they must not only love them, but
all, the high, the low, the rich, the poor,
and thus shedding their influence in the
neighborhood where each should go, they
would thus fill the high mission for which
they were destined by an all wise Provi
dence.
The concluding femaitcs drew tears to
the eyes ot many an one of the large con
gregation. The above is only a brief ad-
stract written entirely from memory; the
sermon to be appreciated ought to have
been heard.

Visit to Dorn’s Springs.
Casstills. Geo., June 27th, 1859.
Messrs. Editors: Perhaps it would be
well to give your readers a sketch of a re
cent visit to Dorn’s Springs, in Gilmer
county, this State.
Leaving Cassville with two friends on
on the 19th inst, we went as far as the
neighborhood of Spring Place the first day,
where we met with some other persons in
tending to go up the next day, so we tar
ried all night Early next morning all
parties were up and prepared for the jour
ney with joyous hearts. Very soon after
Sol made his appearance over tlie Cohut-
ta Mountains, horses and buggies were ar
rayed in the beautifully arranged yard in
front of the stately mansion where we had
been so kindly received and sumptuously
treated the past night Soon we were off,
accompanied by the gentleman and lady
of thejiouse and a portion of the family.
The passage from Spring Place to Dorn’s
Springs is rather a rough one, yet very
romantic and interesting, affording ample
theme for conversation, both to old and
young. The high and rugged mountains,
the low and fertile rallies, and the beauti-
ftii pearl}' streamlets, are matters of inter
est to a stranger. The mountains and ral
lies abound with the usual variety of tim
ber found in the country, in addition to
which may be added Hemlock, Spruce
Pine, .White Pine, Ac., also Ivy Laurel
and a few other species of shrubbery. The
Laurel being in bloom, afforded the young
ladies an opportunity to make beautiful
wild boquetfes for themselves and friends
by collecting, in addition to the Laurel,
other sweet wild flowers to be found on
tbe mountains and in the rallies. In our
passage we crossed Holly Creek seventeen
times, besides several other streams, a-
mongst which may be mentioned . EUijay
Riv.cr, branches, Ac. Wc passed in sight
of EUijay village, which is only 7 miles
from the Springs. Perhaps the locality of
the Springs will be better known by sta
ting that they are in the valley where the
White Path Gold Mines are situated.
We arrived at the Springs late in the
evening, on the 20tb, and put up at tbe
hotel kept by Mr. Spriggs. Though no
company was expected at that time, Mrs.
Spriggs soon had .supper prepared for us,
which, if I speak from the way we partook
of it, was quite excellent and acceptable.
The first thing on arrival at the Springs,
was to drink some of the water, which we
all did as wc passed on to the hotel. It
has four mineral properties, but tastes most
ly like iron or like water out of an iron
vessel. Mr. and Mrs. Spriggs, Maj. Field
and Capt. Ballard were all very kind to
us, so much so that ihey seemed to antici
pated our desires as well as our necessi
ties. I cannot too highly speak of the
kindness we received from the residents
during'our whole stay, and especially that
of Mrs. Spriggs. It must be remembered
that Dorn’s Springs have but recently been
opened to visitors, and therefore cannot
compete in everything with older places.
Nature has done a great deal for the place,
consequently we may expect great improve
ments in the future, commensurate to the
situation. Tbe hotel is on a ridge or hill
elevated above the Springs about the pro
per height, and located at about the prop
er distance from the Springs. The Springs
and small valley which is to be prepared
for promenading, -can be seen very plainly
from the hotel. The sight from the hotel
of ladies and gentlemen promenading in
the little valley • around the Springs, is
most beautiful. Beach trees growing near
by, afford an opportunity for engraving or
carving the names of visitors thereon. Of
course young gentlemen engrave the names
of their lady friends and their own names
thereon.
There is found there one Mineral Spring,
two Free Stone Springs and one Warm
Spring. The Mineral and Freestone Springs
are very cool, and tbe other about as warm
as branch water. The most of our compa
ny say that the water increased their ap
petites considerably. It is quite pleasant
for mineral water, and is diuretic in its
nature. I never saw young ladies and gen
tlemen enjoy themselves so mneb. It is
pleasant to sit and converse under the
shade trees around the Springs, take a
ramble on the mountains, or visit tbe gold
mines where the operatives are washing
down the hills and mountains for the pre
cious metal. The water comes out so high
on the mountains that it can be conveyed,
through ditches and hose, to any point of
the gold region. Immense quantities of
gold were obtained from the old White
Path gold mines some years since. One

In reference to our treatment while at
the Springs, I can ray for tbe whole com

kindness of the landlord and landlady. It
seemed more like visiting relatives than
going to tbe Springs amongst strangers. O"* 00 market.
General Bethune, sir, you are perhaps
not aware of this unusual assemblage of
your fellow citizens. We have heard
with feelings of pride and exultation, of
your triumph before the Supreme Court,
over the most odious and tyrannical ordi -
nance that ever was attempted to be iui -
posed upon a free people, in this Ian d
of boasted republican liberty. Single han.
ded and alone you have fought against
this tyrannical ordinance, and these, your
friends and fellow-citizens rejoicing in.
your triumph, have come out to greet
you on your return, and extend to you
their most sincere and hearty congratula
tions. [Immense applause.] We rejoice •
in your success from the bottom of our
hearts. [Applause.] We witnessed with
pain your arrest, and your imprisonment.
You were arrested and imprisoned w ith
in the walls of a loathsome dungeon—and
for what? Fordoing that which every
citizen in the country has a perfect right
to do, for peacably and quietly pursuing
an honest, legitimate business, to make a
decent support for yourself and family.—
You have lived among us for more tiian
twenty years; you have never been known
to injure any one, or to interfere with
anvbody’s rights. Allow us again, sir,
to extend to you our hearty congratula
tions, and instead of a seat in a loathsome
dungeon, we will give you a seat in the
halls of Congress.
Gen. BeLhune replied—
Fellow-citizens, you were i ight in sup
posing that I was unaware of the cai.se of
your assembling here in such large num
bers. I was not prepared for tikis de
monstration. You take me by- surprise,
and I am not able to express to von my feel
ings on this occasion. I thank you for this
manifestation of your approbation. I
have dene only what I thought it my du
ty to do, for the protection of my rights
and your rights. I have been accused by
some of being obstinate, and a disturber
of the peace. I have done nothing hut
pursue my- legitimate business, peacably
and quietly. I do not impugn the mo
tives of those who have passed this objcc.
tionablc ordinance, they no doubt thought
they were right. We thought we were
right, and the Supreme Couft has decided
the question that wc were right, and they:
were wrong. So let us now drop this
matter, and have no more disturbance, but
go alone and pursue our business peaca
bly and quietly as sve have done hereto
fore. It has been said that I threatened
revolution. I made no such threat. But I
did say that I would go to the guard house,
no more.
Fellow-citizens, I again thank you im*
this manifestation of your esteem. [Tre
mendous applause.]
Gen. Bethune was then placed in a
fine carriage provided by the committee of
reception, and preceded by a band of mu
sic, was escorted to the city.
