[Correspondence of the Press.]
Gettysburg, Pa., Sept 17,1859.
T Vartburg! T Viitenberg ! ! Oettysburg ! !
These are names which shall remain, to the last
syllabic of recorded time, memorable in the an
nals of Protestantism, both in the Old and in the
Now Worlds—tho first, Luther’s castle—the sec-
ond, the arena ofhls most renownod exploits in the
great world-epoch of tho Reformation—the third*
the place whcnco the principles of that epoch,
mere than from any other, havo boon promulgated
over the length and breadth of this broad and
great confederacy. In the minds of the Luther
ans of those United Statoa, Gettysburg holds about
the sumo rank that Jerusalem held to the ancient
Israelites amidst tho green Holds and tho fresh
waters of tho Hebrew dispensation} a tory me
tropolis of faith, to which its multitudinous tribee
came ovory yoar with inoonse and oblation; or,
to employ another illustration, r it is what Mecca is
to tho worshippers of the False Prophet—a sacred
and oonsocrated shrines
dettysburg is the soat of the principal Thoologi.
?al Seminary of the Lutheran Church in tho Uni
tod States, where tho largo majority of her minis,
try hato boon educated. At its head stand* the
learned scholar and divine, Rev. S. 8. Scbmucker,
D. D., who has been its prominent head ever
since its organisation. The other two theological
professors are Rev. C. P. Krantb, D. D., and Rev.
C. F. Sohoeffer, D- D.—the iatter a Gorman pro.

board, and yet belonging to tho Lutheran Cnurch,
is Pennsylvania College, of which Rev. H. L.
Rougher, D. D., is principal, with whom ere asso
ciated those able and eminent professors, Jacobs,
Stoeter, Muhlenberg, and, to some oxtoot. Dr.
Schaeffer. This college enjoys a wide-spread and
deserve?! celebrity, and, In all tho elements
iitire'W'ul —ai«V'- nca/olnaaa. is behind
1.300 students haVe been educated, among vqw
-300 of tho English Lutheran ministers; and by her.
It may be Said, not less than six other colleges and
three additional thcdlugioal seminaries have been
originated and omoered: besides which, some of
her graduates arc found as missionaries in heathen
lands, and others presiding over minor institutions
of learning and religion.
Tho present has been the anniversary week of
theso noble and excellent institutions, and on no
previous similar occasion has this goodly borough
been f>o filled rtitb strangers. This Utge increase
of visitors tfe trace, iu part, to an augmented pub
lic interest in tho institution, and in part to the
railroad facilities now onjoyed by the town, which
havo only reoently been provided. Uettsburg oan
now be reached thesamoday by railroad, both from
Philadelphia and Baltimore.
The Bacoalaureato sermon was proached In the
collego church on Sabbath morning, September
lltli. by Professor 11. L. Baugher, president of the
college, and fully sustained his eminent reputation.
Op Tuesday ovening, September 33, Rev. A. 0,
Wedekind, A. M., of Lebanon, delivered an ad
dress boforo the alumni of the seminary. His
theme was, “ The Modern Pulpit and his ad-
dress was characterized throughout by the (Unking
otigiuallty and eloquenco of its author. On Wed
nesday allernooD, September 14, an address was
delivered beforo the Phrenakosmian Society by
Professor Henry Coppeo, A. M-, of Philadelphia.
His subject was, Educational Fallacies," and
it was universally allowed to bo a production of a
very high order—classical, yet practical—com
bining the grave and humorous with singular
felicity, and aboumting in lessons of a most sound
and enlightened character. It was alike unex
ceptionable In tone, and chnsto and dignified In the
delivery. Immediately following, an address was
delivered beforo the Linnrean Association by Pro
fessor Alfred Sfille, M. D., also of Philadelphia,
who had chosen’for his theme, “ Humboldt . It
was, as all admitted, an Interesting an eloquent
production. The nexk evening (Wednesday,) an
address was delivered before the alumni of col-
lege, by Rev. W. M. Baum, A. M,, of Winchester,
Va., himself an alumnus, on the theme, “ Oar
Day and our Duly," whioh was likewiao favora
bly received.
The orations of tho graduating class were as
follows: Latin Salutatory, by F. B. Wolf, Robers- j
burg; Quisquo sum Fortunm Faber, by T. S. War
ren, Gettysburg; Influence of Religious Error on ,
tho State, by J. W. Ebbort, Greenoastle; Ancient
and Modorn Patriotism contrasted, by W. Kleck
ner, Waynesboro’; Struggle of Freedom in Eu
rope, by W. R. Eyster, Gettysburg; Self-discip

llopo and tho Valedictory, by J. G. Goettman,
CbHmborsbu/g. Tho programme of tho junior
exhibition, on Wednesday, wo have mislaid, and
consequently must omit it. Both exercises woro
attondod by a largo concourso of spectators, the
college church on each occasion being crowded to
overflowing, and wero enlivened by muslo dis
coursed by tho Blues’ Band” of Baltimore.
The “goodwino,’* however, to employ a figure,
was rc8orvo(l for tho Inst. On Thursday afternoon
ft festival (gome colled it a “banquet”) was pro
vided on the second floor of the largest edifleo of
tho kind to be found in the plooe—for, be it known,
Gettysburg has not yet any town hall, of which,
however, it etandoth greatly in need. Well, this
festival waa determined on by the alumni of both
institutions ono year In advance, and proved, to
employ a inodorn phrase, “ a decided jkccw.” It
consisted of a dinner, superbly gotten up, from
whiuh Bacchus, however, by the predetominate
counsol of all conoorned, was peremptorily and po
sitively excluded. The only beverage on the table
was cold wator—tho wine all being served up, to
gratify the nicdioal doctors prosent,»« pifl*— in
other words, in the nativo form of grapes. And
yet it was truly “a feast of reason and a flow of
soul,” und served to demonstrate, beyond all con
troversy, that wit may como out, where wino has
not enterod in.
After the tables had boon eloftred, and well <
cle&rea, too—the president of the day, Bov. John i
G. Morris, D. D., of Baltimore, announced in sue- <
cession tho following sentiments, which were re- \
spondod to as follows:
1. The Theological and Literary Tnstitif

Schmuokor and Baugher, tho heads of tho college
and seminary, respectively, and by Hon. Moses
McLean, of Gettysburg.
2. The Alumni of the. Seminary and College.
Responded to by Rev. C. W. Schaeffer, D. 1)., of
Germantown, and by Hon. Bdward MoPherson, of

of tho bar; by Rev. C. P. Krauth, D. D., of Pitts

Recoivcd standing and in silenoo, and responded to
by a sories of appropriately solemn and pathetic
remarks by Prof. M. L. Stoever. This sentiment
was followed by the singing of a familiar German

Prof. AIM Still®, M.D.

to by Rev. John G. D. !>., under whose au
spices, it is well known, this pleasant and profita
ble re-union of kindred spirits, was originated,
prosooutod, and consummated. Dr. Morris re
plied iu bis happiest vein.
A sentiment complimentary to “The Press,”
was responded to by Rev. W. A. Passavant, editor |
of tho Missionary. Hereupon an effort was start
ed to socuro additional onuowmont to tho collego,
which resulted in tho immediate subscription of
from throo to four thousand dollars. This ausid
olons result wo view in the light of an irrofragible
authentication that botween men's gastronomical
organs and their pockets thore exists an umnistako

gave him a oard of admission to the opera, and
Shaw perceiving this, informed the treasurer of his

from the Westmoreland Republican. Mr. Wright j
has quite a number of friends in this city, who will j
be glad to learn of his immense popularity in old ]

“W. W. Wmant.—We don’t know when we bavo
been so much rejoiced as we were the other day to
moot our old and valued friend whose name heads I
this notice. He has been absent in England and
Europe for some fifteen months attendingraithiully,
as ho always does, to the interests of the Honduras
Interoceanio Railway, of which he is now Chief I
Engineer. His hosts of friends here were very
glad to see him again on his old'st&mping ground,'
and nre flattered with the hope that some day he’
will make old Westmoreland his permanent resi
dence. No stranger ever came hero and made eo j
many devoted friends as has the subject of this no- 1
tlce, and wo are slad to say that he is fully entitled'
to all the good opinions entertained of him. . !
“ He started in his profession about the time the
1 Pennsylvania Railroad was started, and he is now;
1 one of the most eminent engineers that this coun
| try ha? ever produced. As an evidence of this, we
I need only mention one fact —that the contraot for
I the making of the railway from the Atlantia to the
Pacific, now under his control, has been taken by
English contractors at tho estimates fixed byhim. }>

The Paris correspondent of the London
TU ~U' ".' "ritiug cm the Ist of September, gives the
allowing eketeh of events in the French capital:
Three most pleasant ehonges have occurred within
the last few days. The intense heat, which lasted
s> long, and which was enervating mind *M body,
paued away for the present; a sort of ebolt
nn*iwhich medical men say was prevalent throsrh
qut France, and was probably one of the eons*-
duenee* or the heat, has sensibly diminished; and
die Mouiteur has elooed the pubUcatton of the ad~

ill is believed, aaya the Paris Gnioo. that
there will be, next year, an exhibition of French
manufactures in the Champs Elysees. The French
nidus trial exhibitions generally take place every
five years, and it is now five years since one has
been held.
; A Cubjous case, involving the crime of
treason, has Jast eome to light at Berlin. A work
plan in the royal manufactory of the percussion
fixture used In the preparation of the cartridges
for the needle gun, was induced to betray the «e

to forward a quantity done np as bales of paper
At tho railway office, attention was attracted by
he extraordinary weight of the packages, which
vere opened, and found to coo tain a large quantity
if detonators. An agent of the secret ptAteo was
at once despatched from Berlin, and both tho

i General Sattlxb, who was iatendant of
the Russian army in the Crimea, has published in
the Invalids an Recount ot the provisioning of tho
Russian anuy during the late war. It appears
From this that tho Russian troops in the Crimea at
the commencement of the war amounted to 25$ NO
men, with 100,000 bo nee, and thcee of oil tha
troops for whom the intendoaM hod to furnish pro
risions during 1855 were 845.90$ men, with
hones; and for 1856, 796,973 men, with 18&576
horses. The intendance had to contend with im
mense difficulties—the price of cattle, provender,
and all kinds of necessaries having increased five
fold, and oftentimes more than tenfold, particular
ly from the middlo of 1855 until January, 1356.
. A dispatch dated at Vienna on the 2d, says:
No measures announced in the ministerial pro
gramme have yet been carried out. It is asserted
that the privileges to be granted to the Jews will
loot be the samo throughout the whole empire, but
.will be influenced by local circumstances: Thu
'principal privilege granted to them will be tho
right of acquisition of bouse property in larger
towns. It is also reported that Austria intends to
discount that portion of the Austrian debt whkh
.will be transferred to Lombardy, and to *ll the
public domains. ’’
A lettes from Rome of the 30th uli. says i
is believed in well-informed quarters that the
Government contemplates making an attempt to
re-establish by force its authority in the Legations.
It has collected for the purpose between 7.506 and
8,000 men, 4.000 of whom are Bwise; It has pro
vided them with tea pieces of cannon. Bernini will
probably be the first town attacked."
The firstXational Assembly of the Romagna
was opened at Bologna on ths first inst. by tho
Governor Genera}, who, la a speech, congratulated
the people on the alacrity with whieh they hod
hastened to the electoral districts to record their

of the country against aggressions f.&m til rides,
by forming a league with the neighboring State*.
Gaaibaloi has command of the Toscana*
well as the Modenese and Parmesan troops; but
his influence is not felt in Romagna, where Mexsa

to act in a subordinate capacity to. an inferior offi

The JVord of the Sd says: « The great ques
tion of the hour is, whether King Viator Emmacnal
will accept the annexation of the States of Centre]
Italy, which has been voted by their Assemblies.
The general opinion seems to be that the King
will accept the offer under eorae reserves and con
ditions as to the ultimate opinion of Europe. By
accepting the provisional sovereignty of the State*
thus spontaneously offered to him, the King will at
once save them from civil war and from anarchy,
will perform a signal service in the cause of order,
at the same time that he preserves the rights of
Europe by reserem* for a European Congress the
final settlement of the political difficulty What
Power will venture to protest against a measure of
pacification and conservation, whereby theeonflici
of armies and the explosion of revolutions are hap
: pily got rid of 7 The interests of dynasties cannot
prevail against the imperious and urgent duty of
maintaining order and security, and placing under
a regular government peoples whose unchecked
passions will infallibly produce conventions, the
reaction of which would shake the whole of Bn
j rope. This conditional acceptance of the offer of
j the States of Central Italy appears, therefore, to
us the most probable, and at the ssme time the
I most salutary solution of the question." v "

A Bavarian journal, Bays the Hamburger

persons in intimate relation with the Court of
Vicuna that the Italian part of the Tyrol will be
included in the province of Venitia.
A representative from Prussia had arrived
at Zurich, in order to take a part in the Conference.
A Paris 1 etter says there is no doubt that the
Zurich Conference disagree about many points
touching the peace of Villa Franca, and the opinion
is growing stronger every day that a Congress
j must be held.
*< Diplomatic despatches from Turin,” say’s
the Nor f l, speak of the approaching return of
Count Cavour to the head of affairs. The Count
deemed it his duty to retire in consequence of the
situation of affaire which arose out of the peace
of Villa Franca, but bis policy has, nevertheless,
been in the ascendant, owing to the strong national
feelings of the and the fidelity of the Em
peror Napoleon to the object with which he en-
I tered upon the war. The recall of the ex-Sardi
| nian minister would be a new guarantee in favor
of the policy which he represents."
Prince Michel Obrenovitch has refused a

>IK. RICHARD COBDES O.V AHEBICAX VOTING BT
BALLOT.
The following letter, with an inclosure from Mr.
\Y. A. Wilkinson, formerly M. P. from Lambeth,
has been addressed to the several London papers:
Sia : With the permission of tho writer I sen d
tho inclosed letter from Mr. Wilkinson, formerly
member for Lambeth, for publication in your
paper. In considering the remedies to be applied
to the defects in our present electoral system, the
first point to aim at is a perfect knowledge of the
extent of the evils to be dealt with, and to this end
the testimony of the late member for Lambeth and
the candidate for Reigate, is important.
Whilst with my pen in hand, Tet me add a word
< on the subject of the recent rejoicings of our oppo
t nents over the letters addressed by Mr. Dana to
I Lord Radstock on the ballot In America. They
would have us believo that the people of the Uni
ted States do not care for the protection of the
secret vote. My answer is this: Find me a dozen
I sane men in the free States of America who would
[ exchange their mode of voting lor ours.
1 It is true that, owing to the great independence
j and general equality of the population of the agri-
I cultural States, absolute secresy is not much cared
1 for. In Massachusetts, however, where there is a
J large proportion of the people employed in trade
] and manufactures, a demand has been made for
I an improved system of taking the ballot, which
I Bhatl anord perfect protection to the voter, and it
I has already neon partially successful.
I My answer, once for all. to those who triumph
1 over the inefficiency of the system elsewhere is,
1 give me a trial of the ballot in one election for any
1 large borough in this country, and I will undertake
. 1 to devise a plan which shall afford complete pro
-1 tection to the voter. Will this really commend it to
j the favor of those who are now parading the want
I of secresy in theUnitod States? ....
But I will go further. If, after one enoh trial, a
constituency voluntarily resolves to abandon the
. 1 orderly, peaceful, moral ballot, and return to our
present mode of taking the poll, I will engage to
accept their decision, and say no more upon the
subject during the rest of my political life.
1 I lam yonr obedient servant, R. Cobden.
