BLAIR, OF MISSOURI. • / [Special Correspondence of the Constitutionali at. Commencement at Oxford. Oxford, July 22,18C8. Dfak Constitutionalist : 1 arrived here ou Saturday last at 4 o’clock. Under the gentlemanly superintendence of (-apt. I u>- cell our conductor, we had a pleasant ride “ barring heat and dust. Ihe cars weie pretty well tilled when we started, and the crowd increased at every depot. There is no hotel here, and has been none since the war. The College was closed during the war, and is now slowly receiving from the disasters common lo the South. AH her material resources have not yet been re\iv - ed, nor have her people recovered from theii embarrassments* but under all the circum stances they manifest great cheerfulness, and are surrounded by many evidences of improvement. A hotel is a necessity to village prosperi ty as many strangers would visit here, especially at the commencement occasions, if they could be provided for outside the liberality of the citizens. , We were met at the Covington depot by vehicles of almost every character, with a o-enerous hospitality by the citizens of tins village and Covington, commensurate with our wants. The large crowd was provided for and still there was room. Judge Hil liard, myself and others from our section, were taken in charge by rny esteemed friend Rev. W. J- Parks, who has been long known as one of the ablest and purest ministers in the Georgia Conference, who, with his ac complished wife, has left nothing undone that could contribute to our comfort; with ample means and a liberal heart, we have “ laved sumptuously every day.” The Commencement Sermon was preach ed on Sunday by Dr. Jesse Bering, on the Evidences of Christianity ns lecorcleii hv cite four Evangelists, and shown in the resurrection of our Lord. There was noth in new to the Bible student, yet it was re freshing to listen to the eliminations ot a mind stored with rare learning upon this interesting subject. In tlie afternoon Dr L Pierce preached in the church, aud although in his eighty-fourth year lie seems to have lost none of his mental vigor. He preaches with great power, aud as if stand ing on tlie dividing line between two worlds Vic retains all the learning that a well spent lift* aud ripe old age have earned, aud seems to catch the mellow light from the world Inst dawning, and illumine the most pro found abstruse questions.

Jones, from Ainericus, one of the Junior f 'ss>. Col. Frank Little, of Sparta, delivered the celebration address. He is a graduate of the college and formerly an active, now an honorary, member of this society. His ad dress was replete with thought, and he has lost nothing of grace and elegance of style in his contests at the bar, acquired in this institution- , , ~ To-day is the great day ot 1 ommence ment and long before the appointed time the people from the country and the neigh borhood came iucrowds, until the spacious hall was filled to its utmost capacity. A. J- Smith, of Newman, pronounced the annual oration before the Alumni —subject, the Improvement of the Race. He referred to the strength and endurance of the an cients at different periods of the Old World, the product? of their pencil and chisel, their conception of the beautiful, their fine arts, their poetry and oratory, and con trasted favorably the present generation, and showed conclusively that there had; been a marked improvement in every view of the question. 1 felt the force of his reasoning—not at his suggestion in this case, hut while looking from the stage on the sea of upturned races before me, and marking the sparkling eyes, the damask cheek, the glowing features and the wreaths of curls of Georgia’s native daugh ters I was convinced that if Cleopatra, Stratouice and Pauthea, the most renown ed of ancient Queens lor beauty and for grace had contended for the palm, they would have found tfceir claims eclipsed and in that great assembly. I am a little sorry that I crowded our bachelor out of this visit, for 1 am sure he would have been persuaded to abandon his cold and cheerless quarters, and enter upon a new and joyous life, with aims and ob jects commensurate with the taste of an accomplished partner. The speech was well delivered and received. The valedictory orators of the graduating class were J. E. Pope, of Pike county, and Walker Sims, of Sparta. They acquitted themselves handsomely, and showed that they appreciated the solemn responsibilities that awaited them on the threshold of man bONxl and active life. The Baccalaureate to the graduating class, by Dr. Smith, the Piwsideat. in composition and delivery wae very good, but its enormous length milita- D-ri Jriouslv against its usefulness, and had e«K* ■*» *k« P»«™* « «* audience and the cheerfulness of the exer cises. The address of the Hon. H. W. Hilliard before the literary societies closed the exer cises. Subject—Oratory. I have heard him often, and read his speeches and lectures, but it is not too much to say that this was the master effort of his life. I have not the ability nor you the room to attempt a sketch. I may say-that he held that vast assembly spellbound during its delivery, after they had listened to four speeches for four mortal hours, under the most intense heat. His flue combinations, his elegant diction, his keen perception, and his inimit able rendering of familiar examples, showed the most thorough culture, and more than sustained his national reputation as having no superior in the graces of oratory and but few equals. The exercises have closed, and we are favorably impressed with the advantages furnished iu this college for a thorough education. The quiet of the village, its freedom from temptation, its moral and re ligious status, its health, line society, charming groves, tasteful shrubbery and blooming gardens, all arc inspiring to the young, encourage communion with na ture, and cultivate thought, study and ap plication. The society rooms are ample and well furnished; the college building is large and will seat comfortably a thousand people; the recitation rooms are well adapted to the class. The Faculty are young men—men of learning and energy, abreast with the im provements of the age and the demands of the people. And yet all are not young; the venerable Dr. Means retains his pro fessorship here; lie is a champion of learn ing and science, and had three institutions at one time vicing with eacli other for his influence and learning, and contented them selves with his time divided and parceled out among them. Thousands have passed under his plastic training, and though bowed down by domestic affliction he re tains that burning eloquence and remarka ble genius that ha« become as familiar as household words to all the people of Geor gia. J. O. 11. Clarke is one of the Faculty— a man of superior learning and great ener gy of character, and is quite an acquisition to this institution. The course of study is of a high order, and adapted to the advance of civilization and all the improvements in the arts and sciences. And although this institution was closed during the war, and her stu dents found in the first rank of the Con federate army, yet, at the close, those who survived sought her halls again, though maimed and halting, and are now cultiva ting the mind for a more agreeable contest in peaceful pursuits and scientific learning They number 104 in the college proper, and 142 in the preparatory department. If your space permitted I would urge upon the people of the South the necessity of sustaining this institution and lending all possible aid to Bishop Pierce’s endowment scheme, that it may be second to nothing North or South in its ability to educate our youths and prepare them for the active du ties of life. There has been but little rain here for the last two months, and the crops are suffer ing greatly. The Columbus Prisoners.—Gen. Meade’- order to the military commission to suspend action iu the trial of the Columbus prisoners “ until further orders,” is the initiatory step to the discharge of the young inen, or a turning of them over to the civil authorities. What a less! What a fizzle! Were it not for the temporary inconvenience accruing to the prisoners from further incarce rating, we might wish that the trial could go on until all-the evidence for the defense shall have been heard. There is a great deal behind, not dreamed of save in the Devil’s philosophy, cal culated to astonish the country and to further unfold the villainous plot of hireling conspira tors, paid by the Government to torture inno cence in order that the machinations of a base and unscrupulous party might prevail. The alibi of Duke has 1 been proven beyond the “shadow of a shade” of doubt, by such witnesses as the prosecution itself is forced to admit are gentlemen of veracity.” Yet the paid perjurers, Betts, Marshall and Bennett — those witnesses upon whom the Government and ks Allred assistant, Josopb E. jqaiirty depended, swore more positively to the presence of Duke at the murder, than to any of the rest on trial. But the evidence is clear that Betts, Marshall and Bennett were either mistakeu or that they have swam to a tie. We cauuot, even in charity, believe the former. The testimony of each dove tails so perfectly with the Other as to preclude the idea of a mistake. It was delivered by rote and concocted in the fertile brain of the infamous detective, Wlntley . There is another—an army officer—who bus likewise takeu an active part in the prosecution ot these inuoee.nl. citizens of au outraged State. If guiltless, why has he so suddenly left this precinct, for parts unknown, in company wiib the perjurers, Betts aud Marshall? Is it con science, or is it fear ? If justice hath its course the Columbus pris oners will be released instanter , and the foul wretches gtho plotted their destruction be made to answer before t-HP civil courts of Georgia lor their crime. —Atlanta Constitution. How to Succeed.—One ot the largest and most successful shoe manufacturers oi Lynn worked seven years upon his seat to get a capital of 11,135, with which he commenced business. Has earnings during these years were just five dollars a tveeje— two hundred aud fifty dollars a year. He paid two dollars a week lor board, and made one dollar pay all other expenses, thus saving one hundred and lour dollars each year, which, with the interest added and small uiuount6 gained iu trade, amounted in seven years to the sum above uamed. The first year in business he cleared five hundred dollars, the second a thousand, and the third two thousand—all the lime cutting bis own shoes, and keeping his personal ex penses down to the old sum—three dollars per week.

The General Assembly was then called to order by the President of the Senate, when the Provisional Governor arose and said : Fellow-citizens, Senators and Representatives : We are assembled here to-day uuder the fos tering care and protection of our General Gov ernment. Througu its clemency we are per mitted to inaugurate a civil government, for our State that will supercede the military pow er, which has been supreme in our midst since the. fikijuffc -d an attempt to establish the sover eignty of separate Stares, in opposition to the Constitution and Union framed by the people of the United Stales The misfortunes that have followed a misapprehension of the, alle giance due by the individual citizen have he come a part of our history, and need only be relVired to when there may be danger of its repetition. We have good reason to congratulate our selves tb it we have so rapidly abandoned our erroneous opinions, and that, nndei the benign influence of the liberal laws ot Congress, we have progressed successfully toward a restora tion to our proper place in the Union. And especially should we rejoice that this has heeu accomplished, notwithstanding that, in Ihe puranii of a proper policy, we have dis l reeled and divided among ourselves by the failure ot the National Executive to act in har mony with the will of the people constitution ally expressed Only twelve mouths ago, a number of citizeus assembled in this city aud framed a political organization in sympathy with the principles and the policy of a majority Os the people ol the whole country, and to-day we witness what has heeu accomplished through the agency of Ihat patriotic body--the Onion Republican paity. A constitution has been adopted that guarantees to all free and uni versal education, equal political and civil rights, and restores to us self government. It should not be forgotten that this constitution has been framed by delegates who were elected under trie law which gave the bondman the ir resistible weapon of Ihe ballot. 'l’be wisdom aud moderation with which this privilege has heen exercised, should overcome all prejudice, quiet all fears, and lead us to ap preciate the justice of enfranchising the Ireed men. 'Villi :r territory of magnificent proportions, unsurpassed in richness of natural resources, we have but to apply ourselves to its develop merit, to reap a bounteous reward. By un'ted efforts in the enforcement of civil law, securing to every one Ihe lawful expres sion of their political opinions, and the enjoy merit of the results ol their labor, we will in vite wit,biu our borders au incyeased popula tion to share with us lire com torts of our eli. mate and the-wealth of our agricultural and mineral productions.

He is an inquisitive jnan, and, like Mrs. Too dles, has an eye for a good bargain, so he stop ped before the entrance. Just as he crossed the door-sill, the crier held up a bundle and called ogt: “ Now we come to ihese fine silver spoons. Splendid article. Good as new. Who bids? Who bids?” The crier rattled on thus for a minute without getting an answer, when, being entirely unconscious of so distinguished a presence, he observed, lretfully, “ Weil, you’re a mighty keerful crowd. ,You must think these is some of the spoons Butlpr stole at New Orleans.” Just here the General wag recognized, and, amid a shont of merriment, beat a hasty and somewhat skulking retreat.
