8 COMMENCEMENT. AT LAFAYETTE. , We tie rad to notice an noomiai interest on the part ot our citizens with reference to the upproachinR Commencement of toe Collee. The ladlrs are already preparing tor ihe dinner vblch of late years hus been to pleasant feature of Commencement week. As the Ma sonic Hall ts otherwise enaeed for that day, toe lecture room of the German Reformed r Church baa been kindly granted to the ladies ir the occasion. It may be well to state that the public exer else commence on Bunday. July 28. The ser. roon be'ore the rraduatlnit class, and the Bacca laureate addicts, will be delivered In the morn Idb at the Kra'nerd Church; and the sermon before the Braiterd Society in the evening at the First Church. Each year these tervicet alternate between the Fiist and becond Churches, and the consretfations. lor the last few Tears, have worshipped together. Last year the Brainerd Church was doted In the morning and the Firft Church in the evening. On Bun day afternoon the topic for the conference in tbe ehHpel will be "Christian Activity in Col lege." On Monday tbe aeual public examina tions In Biblical studies and the ad dresses of the vltitltie committee from tbe (isnod. Tuesday mnrmiig the Trustees 1 the Collect ana tbe Board of Examiners of the Pardee !Scleotific Course meet in Jenks Hull, a iid at tbe same time candidates for ad mission to either eourxo in the College, classical or scientific, will he examined by the Profes sors in the yahoos departments. At 10 o'clock tbe literary societies hold "reunions" in their lejpective hslls, to which the Alumni and honorary members are invited. The public meeting ot the Alumni in the chapel at i 'clorlr, and the oration before the literary so cieties in the Brainerd Church at 8 o'clock, will conclude the exercises ot Tuesday. Wednesday is graduation dav, The members, tt the fcT8d;in clas? aria tile Masters will de liver their speeches, and their decrees will be coniened. It is supposed that tue procession will leave the Church, for the Commencement dinner about one o'clock. In the evening, from eight to ten. President Cattell will hold his re ception at his house on College Hill, where there will doubtless be the usual throng of beauty and learning. Many of the Alumni ami otheis accustomed to leave on Wednesday after soon bave concluded to remain to attend the levee of the President, and meet there the Pro fessors, the Trustees, and our citizens generally for a friendly and social chat. It is of course known to our readers that no special invitations are given to these receptions ot the President, but all friends ot tbe students and all who take an Interest in tbe College are invited to attend. The President's house is always thronged on Wednesday evening by an intelligent and de lighted company, and thus affords a most plea sant termination to the public and private exer cises of Commencement week. There will be no "corner stones" of new "buildings laid ibis year; in fact, the Astronomi cal Observatory, owing to unexpected difficul ties in sccurine castings for tbe revolving dome, has not been completed ; while in view ot the increased expense ot building, the werk on the wing of tbe main College building has been suspended. But JtLks Chemical Hall has been completed, and visitors will have Iree access to the museums and cabiucts. Somn ot the recent additions to the museums are very interesting, especially the celebrated papyrus of the time or King Shishak, pronounced by Professor Sey fartb, tbe eminent Egyptologist, to contain "the finest Hieratic inscription known to exist." It was written nearly three thousand year9 ago, but the colors in tbe hieroglyphs are as frcoh as if painted yesterday. Among tne class meetings, next in interest to that which takes the Master's degree will be tbe "Decennials." beginning with the class of 1837. To this class belongs the orator before ' the Literary Societies, one of the most distin guished Alumni of the College, Hon. J. Morrison Harris, of Baltimore. He is one of the Trus tees ot the College, and now returns alter an absence ot thirty years to the scenes of his stu dent lite. He will hud old Lafayette has taken a grand stride in advance since the days he studied Euclid and Homer in her quiet halls. Hay all the exercises give pleasure and profit, unci the blunhing honors of the (aureatt give joy to the parents und brothers and sisters who will be present, and may no unpleasant circum stances or conduct unworthy the manly reputa tion of a Latayette student mar the literary or social pleasures of the week. Easton Express, 23d, A Had. to a Ueb, Greeting. Lexington. Kv.. Julv 18. 18(17. Raphael Seuimes, Editor JSulietin, Pirate, Traitor, Etc. Sir: Some one has sent me a copy of your paper, in which vou devote nearly a whole column to iv late SDeech at Lexington, Ken tuckv.iYou think me "incendiary, wicked, bad, and a party man on tbe Fourth of July." What right nave you, a vile wretch, living by the srace of God and the mercv of a too humane Government, to take a loyal man to task for what he may see fit to say ? Have you so soon forootten tour crimes, or are von insaue enough to believe that they are lorgotten among men. and tbat treason, after all. is not to be punished ? For the sake of your soul I beg you not to forget the past, nor be unmindful of the future, lor the day is com lug when you aud Forrest will both be called to a Just account for your misdeeds. Pirates and butchers of innocent men cannot long live in America unbone. Be constantly prepared, lor you know not the day nor the hour wherein tbe righteous J ad ere will come to do justice. Being a Chris tian man, when your trouble is great, and deep tribulation is upon you, send for me, and 1 will come and do all 1 can to prepare ytu for your end; though I tell you frankly, 1 believe no eariblv intercession can save you from tbe hottest hell in damnation. You fear "such men" as I am will "rUe to power" on the shoulders of the blacks. When you recollect your awlul guilt, and tbat by the law of nations you are an ontlaw, well may your coward con wiencft make vou tear such an event. Yon assail the poor blacks, and charge them with the committing of "murder, arson, riot, and robbery." All good ren know the bucks bave behaved wonderfully well since they were set nee, ana your charges are as un just as tbey are false. You say such men as I instieate them to do lawless acts. You, a pirate and a traitor, are a pretty fellow to talk about instigators ot lawless acts! The devil rebuking sin would be a mild comparison. I bave always advised the negroes to be law-abiding, ciulet. sober, Industrious, and peaceful, and shall con tinue to ao so. They nave no occasion to take . the law into their own hands, and when tbey do I shall as much condemn them as I do vou. We who are their friends, by the help of God and a radical congress, win, in gooa time, in a legal wav. nunlsb you and all their enemies, and the enemies of the Republic, and in tbe meantime the negroes will be quiet, orderly, and industn cus citizens, xours, uuiv, James S.

Th General' Pleasures at Seaside, Lone BiUUCH, N. J., Julv 23. Afirr spending Hooday on Governor's Isfsnd, m the guests oc General Wallen, commanding Fort Col ombus. General Grant and lamtly leit on Monday for Ibis famous summer resort, where it U i ex pected they will spend about two weeks, r row ihe t me of bis arrival in New York on Sunday morning, aa announced yesterday, tbe General has kept himself stndlouMy secluded from popu lar gaze, and his ardeul desire now is to avoid, so Ur en possible, all publicity. Frvn the first, General Grant has been habited in a, plain civi lian suit, and appears in It, with his ever-present cigar, much as one would suppose to be the case with a well-to-do merchant, or an habUue nt the 'Change. It was intended by General Wallen to give his Comniandcr-in chlet a grand receptton at his residence on Governor's Island previous to his depattnre. but owing to the deire ot avoid ing any public display which the (ieneral at an early period after his arrival very plainly an nounced, and which no entreaty could cause him to alter, this proposed reception had to b foregone. Alter spending the Sunday in quiet with his family, the Commander-iu-Chief, at half-past two o'clock P. M. on Monday, left Governor's Island, there being on board, besides the Gen eral and family, his father-in-law, Mr. Dent, General and Mrs. Wallen aud daughter, General Buttertield. General H. Porter, and Lieutenant Wallen. The military band of Fort Columbus, numbering twenty-two pieces, also came on board, and having struck up "Hail to the Chief," the boat, with its renowned passengers, put on from tbe pier. The time en voyaqe was cnlivered by national and operatic airs ironi tbe band; but nothing of special moment occurred f n voyage. When tb.e steamer reached Port Monmouth, tne party diterubarked, and were received by Mr. Kimball, the Superintendent, and Mr. Kin ney, one of the lessees ol the Delaware and Karitan Kail road, by whom they were conducted to a special car In waiting to convey them to Long Branch. The General and Iriends were comfortably seated in the car, and Superinten dent Kimball, who, with Mr. Kinney, accom panied them, having given the signal, were soon bring whirled behind the iron horee through tbe classic regions of Jersey. So quietly had the movement been made that no one along the route Knew of the advent ot the General, and consequently no curiosity was manifested at the various stations past which the train swept without haltinir until the final stop was made at Long Branch. Here the distinguished visitor and his friends entered two carriages, and a lideot but tew miuuus brought them to the well-known Stetson House, where they inme diately took possession of the rooms that had been set apart for them, aud where, at this writing, tbe captor of (ieneral Lee is enjoying ail tbe quiet mat ne seeks, iur. stetson, Jr., accompanied ihe party in person from !Sew York, and was most assiduous in providing them with every cointoi t. un XDur&aay evening a grand nop is to be given by tbe Stetsons in honor of the General's arrival, it will be a superb affair, and will be participated in by all the prominent military oilicer9 in the vicinity of New York. ibis morning, long before tbe lasbionaoies that distinguish the Stetson House had com pleted their breaklasts, he had ordered a ba- toucne ana wa9 ariving a team oi spienma oays down the sea-shore road, bavin? Mrs. Grant only as his companion. As be passed along, the morning pedestrians, who consist for tbo mot part of our "solid rcen of Manhattan," doffed their chaptavx, and congratulated them selves on navn thus eany seen "trie uenerai." He holds the ribbons wttn a professional grasp, and speeds his team along the seashore road in a manner mat indexes tne guaueaattiveness lor which be has always been remarkab e. Mr. Michael Puelau, tbe celebrate! bllliardist, now stopping here, an old California friend ot tbe Communder-in-Chiet, invited him to witness a match that had been arranged between nim stlf (Phelan) and Mr. McDevitt, no less re nowned in the billiard world. Tnls match was played during the afternoon on a private table in the Stetson House, and was witnessed by the General and a few invited guests, the former enjoy ing to the utmost tbe scientific poinU of the game. , A grand serenade was given in me ueneruis honor at midnight yesterday. Tne hop on Thursday is expected to be the grandest thing ot tbe season. A regatta race of a fieot of pleasure surf-boats, by amateur boatmen Mesrs. Morris, Silva, Bertram, Cbickering, and Stokes will take place to-morrow evening, opposite tne ioom nental Hotel. General Graut and suite will be present and present tbe prizes, ana unmores lull band will furnish the music. The distance to be rowed is one thousand yards. A salute of cannon will constitute the starting signal. Y. Ueratd. General Sherman on the Alleged. Ind.li ftj jaaaaacrea. Headquartrkb Military Division of the Missouri, At. Louis, t.

Death of a Man who Weighed Three Hundred and Sixty rounaa. The coffin which enclosed the mortal re mains of tbe late John Allen, wno aiea on Sunday, and waa buried yesterday, was the largest, we believe, that waa ever made in Troy.
