Ic Particulars of the Trini dad Fight Much Needed Munitions of War Cap tured -New Troops Armed. Second Proclamation by sident Ccspedcs. Pre- Kvery steamer from Havana brings better In telligence relative to the successes of tlie insur jreuts. The following letter Is just made public: The Jinttle at Trlnldnd. Havana, May 15. A barque lias arrived at Trinidad with arms suflicieut to ectiip aHiil number of trooiis. These were disembarked with ease, as well as all the cargo of the vessel. The arms were immediately distributed to the troops, and they have already been in the eon flict. As you have seetij we attacked Trinidad a few clays since, not with the view of taking possession of the place, for it would have been impossible to sustain, ourselves there, but for the real object of getting hold or munitions of war which were in the powder magazine. The troops commanded by Cavada, Pavia, iluuco, and Vilamil attacked vigorously, and notwithstanding he resistance made by its defenders, in a few ninutes, at a eost to us of ten men, the prize fell into nir hands. There was an Immense supply of war iiuterlal. Immediately we commenced taking out the materiel tie gverre, and distributed a good portion to the troops, who before were badly armed. A short time afterwards a strong Spanish column left Trinidad to take back their lost liootv, but this was attacked and routed, and twenty dead bodies of our enemies were left on the Held, thirty were wounded, and we gathered thirty or forty good Ketn ington rifles which had been left on the ground. With the arms and munitions of war there found, and with others that have reached ns from different sources, we can struggle for some time to come; but in order to secure a deilnite, prompt, and decided triumph, we need many arms, (inns, lead, and cannon are the only things wanted iu order that Cuba may soon be free. The Insurrection In the Kastern Department Is to day stronger than ever, and with the new arms taken from the Spaniards, and those which we got hold of a little before, we have armed and equipped fourteen parties of troops, namely: The Insurgents in the districts of Trinidad, Santo Kspiritu, Rcmo ilios, Santo Clara, Sagua, Cienfuegos, Santo Domin go, Las I.ajas, Potrerlllo, Camaroues, Lechu.a, Car tagena, and Sagua lu Chlca. The Spanish squadron is needing recruits ; some of the Havana boatmen have been lately taken into the service. All the owners or the little skirt's in the harbor have at one time or other belonged to the navy, and In pressing times they are liable to be called upon to serve the (iovernment, Gelpln, direc tor of the Ireima newspaper, has packed up his trunks and left the Island. He is disguxted with the management of aflairs, and leaves the Preima, one or the most derided Spanish organs lu the West, to take care or itseir. Another item: You will remember Simon C macho, the New York correspondent of the Diario tie. la Marina, lie wrote over the noni tie plume or Peter Hicks. Well, the Uiario was pleased with him, and he with the Diario. Hut the Spanish organ wished Mr. C. to look out and see what the .lunta was up to in New York, to investigate all the movements going on by the patriots in your city, and report. Mr. C. is a descendant or the illustrious General Bolivar, the Washington or South America, and relt too much or the old tires or liberty in his veins to be willing to be engaged in such vile work. The consequence is that the lJiarin has dismissed Mr. C, and employed an other more pliable instrument iu the carrying out of its views. Second Proclamation by President CoMpetlcs. The Central Republican Junta or Cuba and Porto Rico in New York have received the rollowiug docu ments: I. It is necessary in all things to establish a fixed order for their proper administration, and this be comes especially indispensable iu the otllces of the (iovernment, the affairs of which cannot be duly despatched if no provision Is made for their regular transmission. To this end, I have divided the ad ministration into four principal sections, namely: The Department of War, Commerce, State or Foreign A Hairs, and Interior, the admin istration of which Is henceforth Intrusted to the citizens Francisco V. Agtillera, Kligio Yraguirre, Cristobal Mendo.a, and Eduardo Agramonte, in the order in which the departments have been enume rated. For the purpose, therefore, that the order which I aim at mav be observed, 1 desire you iu future to direct to them your communications, as this Is the regular way in which communications have to reach the Executive Power, or to descend from the latter to the chiefs and subaltern officers of the departments aud bureaus. Country and Liberty! Caklos M. ik CusruoEs. Guaimaro, April 14, 1S09. II. 1 have the great satisfaction and pleasure to notify you of the successful realization or an act which Is of great Importance for the triumph of our holy cause as important, indeed, as the rising in I,a Demajagua, which is commonly called the rising of Yara. Jf the latter initiated the glorious era of our emancipation Irom long years or disgrace and tyranny, the former is tho completement of the aspirations which must animate the heart of every true patriot. The union of the free people of Cuba is already an accomplished fact, as throughout the island the de mocratic federal republic has been established, and the provisional constitution has been ratifled. The country has teen divided in four departments, called the Eastern, Camaguey, Las Villas, aud the Western. The most Important oftlceB have been distributed as follows: President of the Republic, Carlos M. de Cespedes T Castillo; President of the Cham ber of Representatives, Salvador Clsneros; Secretaries, Antonio Zambrana aud Ygnacio Agra monte ; Minister of War, Francisco V. Aguilera: General-ln-Chlef, Manuel de (uesada. The other officers which are necessary for the administration of the Government will be tilled without delay by gentlemen who Inspire confidence. Being convinced that disinterestedness as well as respect and obedience for the law Is a most estima ble Quality, the underslgued, who has been honored with being appointed Geueral-in-Chler, made haste, previous to his recent deilnite election, to divest li'mself of his titles and Insignia, and he recom mends to you to do the same. For the present you will continue to discharge the duties or the office which vou so worthily Hll, until the new system and organization shall bo firmly established, and the proper place In which the country demands .,.,.' win i assiirned to vou. I have, Anally, to notify you that our flag has been agreed upon for th.i..ren.ir of liberty In this country, and that it .... wiii,.h wua displayed bv Lopez, Aguero, and other martyrs, as a token of gratitude and veae ration to tin ir memory.

The four sailors of the American brig Mary Lowell, captured at Hugged Island, have been brought to this city by the Favorite. This Iron plated vessel carries B06 men and ten heavy guns. She lies alKiut six miles olf this city, and either keeps herself at bay or Is anchored. Another steamer of medium size" is near her tackinjr about, ami, under the present circumstances, this looks rather mys terious. 1. u a a it 11 t i: i, i, i a i: ; i:. Court of Quarter Hciwdonn Jurive I.uillow. JIMMY ItAOOKKTY. In this man's case yesterday afternoon, his counsel, C. W. Brooke, F.sq., moved to quash live of the six bills of Indictment against him, Just as tho Dis trict Attorney was almut to have him arraigned. The Court heard the argument Immediately, and this morning Judge Ludlow gave the rollowiug decision, from which the status of the prisoner may be seen : Cnnimnnwnalth vs. JiimeM Huxtrerty. Motions to (imili indictment.

Art. I, Com. Pleas and Prac, p. XYi. ills. See also Kesp. vs. Cleaver, 47, 754. And when public policy and a juxt regard for tlie impartial aduiiniatration of justice would be violated, surely wo oiiKiit to take care not to lend too ready an ear to a dilatory motion. These bills were found at the January session, since that time nearly lour terms have elapsed. I find by the record that the prisoner has been a tuKitive from justice, for his hail has been forfeited, and 1 am informed by my brother Judge Krewster that he was only surrendered on the very' last day nf the April ses sion. In scai'dung through the law applicable to this case, we find as far back as in tlie cases reported in 1 Salkeld, :Ht, and 1 Barnard. K. it., 44, that the Kngliah courts reiused to entertain a motion to quash made by defend ants after a forfeiture of his recognizance. And whilo have not been able to find an authority directly to tho point in our own courts since the adjournment yesterday, yet 1 remember a cause very similar to this in which a motion to quash was refused by this court because of the laches of the prisoner. 'ftie principle which guides our discretion seems also to be sound and just, for should any other be adopted, and tho motion bo granted, it is probable tho bail would be discharged, and thus all a prisoner lias to do is to permit term after term to expire, remain as fugitive until puy ment of the recognizance is uhout to be enforced, then walk into Court and surrender himself, when, under our act of Assembly, the rights of third persons had attached to the money to be made upon an execution issued against the recognizors, to say nothing of the Commonwealth and of her right to vindicate her own laws in her own temples of justice. Again, I am not entirely certain that, if motions of this nature should be grantod. we might not discovoranew and ingenious method by which the bar of tlie statute of limitation might be made a very cerrain method by which criminuls might escape punishmont. There is another view ot this case which is quite as satis factory as the one just mentioned, and which ought to guide my judicial discretion. It is a tact as reported to me, and not denied, that during this week the counsel tor the prisoner cume in and moved the court to assign a day tur the trial of these cases. It will not be denied that iu a civil court an appearance is fatal tea motion to quash, for instance, a suiumonH, ant it will also be grantod that in a criminal court, after pica pleaded, a motion to quash is too late. Why should we hesitate to adopt a similar rule now, when, although the prisoner lias not himself technically pleaded, his counsel has appeared for him, und yesterday did direct a plea of not guilty to be entered of recor.l. though he afterwards, and before the clerk could outer it ot reuord. witudrew it and substituted tins motion. Coupled with the fact that the recognizances have been forfeited, this aiioearauce of the defendant at tlie bar of court by counsel, together witli tne tact that a motion was mario by the prisoner for a trial, and a day fixed, throw such serious doubt, to say tho least, UDon the propriety of granting these motions, that the dount Itselt ought to set tle tile ouestion. when the motion, as we have already said. oucht to lie based noon clear and satisfactory grounds. especially as the prisoner is not deprived of his usual right to make a motion in arrest of judgment should verdicts be rendered against nun. Motions to quash overruled. Charles cohurn, colored, pleaded guiltv to a charge of the larceny of twenty fathoms of rope from a sloop. Sentenced to county t'rtson lor tnreo mounts. Jo in Kelly was convicted oi me ntrceny or a roar, which he stole from a new house upon which the builders were working. Sentenced to County Prison for four months. George Bail pleaded guiltv to a charge of collecting money belonging to his employers and appropriating it to nis own use. sentenced io county rnsou uir four months. Francis Baker pleaded guilty to the charge of the larceny of 00, which lie stole from a friend's pocket while 'both were "out on a drunk." Most of the money was recovered. Sentenced to County Prison lor thirty days. James Graham was convicted of the larceny or lothing. and was sentenced to the County Prison lor three mouths. (Snpreiiie Court In llnnc.

IIIh Great Cuurage, Among the many great qualities by which Ma.zinl has attracted a party to himself in Italy, a courage of the highest order is undoubtedly one. A Uoiuau correspondent says that all attempts to arrest the revolutionary leader have been battled by his won derful coolness. One Instance is particularly strik ing. A lledmontese police oillcer was seat in com mand of a section of police in Charles Albert's time to arrest him, and every indication of the house was given. Ho w as known to be in it, and it was so sur rounded that there was no escape. The police en tered, and, on asking the old woman who opened the door where her master was, she said he was lu the study writing. They went all over the house, and found paper and pens, and the ink wet on a freshly-written sheet, but no Martini. At last they withdrew. Three days later they knew that Mazzlnl himself, as his own housekeeper, had opened the door. In the year of AsprotnontH he passed twice through Ancona, disguised as a Franciscan going and returning from the Holy Land, and he has been in Florence, there is little doubt, within the last two years. For more than a year past, at Rowdoln, not a single Instance or IntemiKJiuiice has come to the knowledge oi tlie faculty. SECOND EDITION LATEST BY TELEGRAPH.

Tlie Projected I'nion Between the Old nnd New School Ilrnnrhcw .Meet in of the Two t.enc rnl AsMCiiiblle The Itusi of Reunion There are now lu session in New York the General Assemblies of the Old and New School branches of the iTesbyterian Church. It is supposed that this simultaneous meeting will result in the reunion of both branches. It was lu the year 18.16 that the two Oeneral Assemblies met by accident in the same place. Although it became evident during those ten days that organic reunion could not then eveu tie Initiated, yet much doubtless was accomplished towards a fraternal Interchange of feeling by the ac quaintances which sprang up in consequence of the nearness of the two to each other. Hy a singular Providence, both the Assemblies that met lu 1805 appointed St. Louis for the place of meeting in 1800, wholly without design or knowledge. Indeed, it was greatly feared, when the coincidence became known, that tlie hospitalities or St. Louis citizens would be uxed beyond their powers. But the Assemblies met; the Old School 011 Firth street and the New School on Lucas place, a distance apart not much greater thau that between the HrlcK Church and tho Church of the Covenant in New York. The coincidence was accepted as providential ; overtures of peace were sent from the New to the old ; and a joint committee or lifteen from each Assembly thirty in all was actually appointed to draft a basis of organic reunion uiriiig me year isuo-i, to be reported at the ensuing ASSeillOUUB. The IIiinI nf Reunion Tlie report of this wa presented by I)r Reatty before the Old School at Cincinnati, and Dr. Adams before the New School at Kochester, aud received with the heartiest welcome. Some discussion was hud over it in tlie former, but both bodies Dually voted to send it down to the presbyteries for ratifi cation, according to the understood law. After great discussion in conventions of both schools, the rollow iug articles or the basis were agreed upon and went down to the presbyteries for action during the pre sent year: 1. Tlie reunion shall be effected on the doctrinal and ec cleaiastu:al baaia of our common ataudarda; turn Scrip ture of the Uld and New TesUuuonta ahull be acknow ledged to be the inapired Word of God, and the only infal lible rule of faith and practice; the ConfeHaion of Kaith Bhull continue to be binccrely received and adopted, "as containing the ayatera of doctrine taught in the Holy ticripturea;'1 it being underatood that tiiia oonfeaaion ia re ceived in ita proper, uibtorical that ia, the Calviniatio or Kcfonued aenae ; it ia alao understood that various niethoda of viewing, atatiug, explaining, and illustrating tlie doctrines of the Confeaaion, which do not impair the integrity ot the Reformed or Calvmiatic eystem, are to be freely allowed in the United Church, aa they have hitherto been allowed in tlie aeparate churches; and the govern ment and discipline of the Presbyterian Church in the tjmted States shall be approved aa containing the princi ples and rule of our polity. 2. All the ministers and churches, embraced In the two bodies, shall lie admitted to the aame standing in the united body which they may hold in their respective con nections up to the consummation of tlie union; imper lectly organised churches ahall be counselled, and ex pected to become thoroughly Presbyteriun as early, within the period of tire years, aa is permitted by tlie highest in terests to be consult ed ; and ao other such churches shall be hereafter received. 8. The boundaries of the several Presbyteries and Synods shall be adjudged by the UeuerulJAsaembly ot the United Church. 4. The official records of the two branches of the Church, for the period of aeiiarauon, shall be preserved and held as making op the one history of the Church ; and no rule or precedent, which does not stand approved by both the bodies, shall be of any authority until re-establisUed in tile united body, except in so far as such rule or precedent may affect the rights of proiwrty founded thereon. b. The corporate righto now held by the two General Asaembliea, and by their boards and committees, ahull, aa lar as practicable, be consolidated, and applied for their several objects, as defined by law, 6. 'there shall be one set of Committees or Boards for Home and Foreign Missions, and ttie other religious en terprises of tlie Church, whicti the churches shall be en couraged to sustain, though free to cast ttieir contribu tions into other channels, if they desire to do so. 7. As soon as practicable after the union shall be effected, the General Assembly shall reconstruct and con solidate the several permanent committees and boards, which now belong to the two assemblies, in such a m -wilier as to represent, as faraa possible, witli impartiality, tne views ana wishea of the two bodies constitutiug the C nitcd Church. 8. The publications of the Iioard of Publication, and of the Publication Committee, shall continue to be issued aa at present, leaving it to the Hoard of Publication of the V mted Church to revise these issues and perfect a cata logue fur the joint Church.so aa to exclude invidious refer ences to past coutrovertiles. H. la order to a uniform system of ecclesiastical super visioD, those Theological Seminaries tfiat, are now under Assembly control may, if their Kourda of Directors so elect, be transferred to the watch and care of one or more of the adjacent Synods: and the other Keminurios are ad vited to introduce, aa far as may be, into their constitu tions, the principle of Synodical or Assembly supervision ; in which case they ahull be entitled to an official re cognition aud approbation ou the part of tho lieueral As sembly. lu. It is agreed that the Prosbytories possess the right t examine iinnisisters applying tor admission from otuer Presbyteries; but each Presbytery shull be UiJt free to de cide foritself when it shull exercise tlie right. 11. It shall be rogurded as the duly of all our judicato lies, ministers, and people in t he united Church to au ly the things which make tor puuco, aud to guard against all needless and offensive referencea to the cause tlitit tiuve d ivided us ; ami, in order to avoid tlie revivul of past issues, by tho continuance of any usage in either bran-jh of the t hurch that has grown out ot our former contlicls, it is earnestly recommended to the lower judicatories of tlie Church, that they conform their practice in relation to all such usages, as far aa is consistent with their convict ions of duty, to tlie geueral custom of the Church prior to the controversies that resulted in separution. 12. The terms of the Keunion, if they are approved by the General Assemblies of lsiis, shall be overt ured to the several Presbyteries under their oure, and shall be of bind ing force if they are ratified by three-fourths of the Pres byteries connected with each branch of the Church within one year after thuy shall have been submitted to them for approval. 13. If the two Genoral Assemblies of 1809 shall find that the plan of Keunion has been ratified by the rcuuisite number of Presbyteries in each body, they shall, after the conclusion of all their business, be dissolved by their re spective Moderators, in the manner and form following, vix: Kach Moderator shall address the Assembly over which he presides, saying, "Hy virtue of the authority delo gnUid to me by the Church, and in conformity with the plun of union adopted by the two Presbyterian Churches, let this Assembly be dissolved ; and 1 do hereby dissolve it, and require a General Assembly, chosen in tlie same man ner, by all the Presbyteries in connection with this body, and ail t!nse iucouuection with the General Assembly meeting tins year lu , to meet in , on tlie day of May, A. 1. lH1u;and I do hereby declare and proclaim that tlie General Assembly thus constituted will be the rightful General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in the United Htatea of America, uuw, by the grace uf God. happily united." ri.lA.KCK A?VI COJIHF.IICI?. Omcx of thk Enrwnto Tr.t.KORAiH,l Friday, May 21, 1809. I A significant article In the London Time on the flniinctal condition of Kngland explains the causes which led to the recent advance, by the Hank of Kngland, of tho rate or Interest. The writer attri butes it to "the extraordinary Inflation In America, fustereu uy tne constant drain for investment in I'nited States bonds." This, he anticipates, will go on "until the rate here rises to a point so nearly equivalent to that of New York as to oiler no temptation to borrowers." On this ground he predict that the advance of interest will continue until the object is attained, even though the rate te raised to 10 per cent. The niea is repudiated that the Kusslan. Italian, anil other foreign loans are the cause of the present stringency, as being too insignificant to affect the market. This fire from the Thunderer's battery Is now two weeks old, ami still our bonds are steadily going tip. 1 his only shows that sensible people wlil invest their money where it will be safest and pay best, and as long as our Government pursues a policy which wld sustain our public credit abroad we need not be alartucd at the noise of the Thunderer's guns.

The One Hundred nnd Nineteenth Amilveimnry l' the rounder of the Instit iition-Sintecnfh Annual Itciinioii of the Alumni Npceche by President Allen, luvld Clininbcrw, Kiwi., nnd Gtliem Proiirnmine of lixerclwen. To-dity is a gala day at Glrard College. It signal izes the one hundred and nineteenth anniversary of the birth of Stephen Glran!, to whose munificence the institution owes Its origin, and brings about the sixteenth annual reunion of the Society of the Alumni. Months since it was determined to make this day a mcmorablo one, to make its ceremonies more than ordinarily impressive and Interesting, and, consequently, preparations tor it were made on a most extensive scale. The Alumni were active, and the cnf which attends the celebration to-day proves that their efforts were successful. At an early hour this morning the spacious camnut or the college was thronged with visitors, partici pants in the ceremonies, the alumni, and the audi tors. The grounds never looked more pretty, in viting, and refreshing. The sun shone gaily, and the birds chirped merrily. The grass was beautiful in its greenness, the trees in their foliage. The stately college, In ita marble magnificence, never presented an appearance more grand. The exer cises took place In the chapel of the main building. The walls, doorways, and rostrum or the room were tastily decorated with flags, bunting, and greens. A full band or music, under Professor McClurg, was present. At hair arter 11 o'clock the exercises began, with the rendition or "Home, Sweet Home" by the band. President Allen's Address. W. II. Allen, L.L. D., President of the College, then addressed the assemblage as follows: Mr. President and Memlvers ot the Society or Alumni: The return or your anniversary has at tracted you once more to these halls which were the home and school or your childhood. Here you ac quired the education which has opened to you a career ot usel illness in the various walks of lite, antl prepared you ror positions or respectability and ln lluence. Here you meet again the ortloers and teachers who were the guides or your youth, who encouraged yon when you tlid right and admonished you when you tlid wrong, and who sometimes gave emphasis to their admonitions by arguments which wt-retclt. But they are not all here. Home or them have been lassoed with the noose matrimonial, and hurried away to be seen among us no more. I think that, tor the sake or the college, you will Join me In a protest against any future aspirant ror the honors of a Benedick coming here for his Beatrice, bite eaut be spared. In behalf of the survivors of these catastrophes and ot ull the professors and oillcers, 1 greet you with a hearty welcome. We have watched your course with parental solicitude; we have rejoieed to see many or you ascending steadily on the scale ot manliness and respectability; aud we have mourned vt hen a tew, who are not with us to-day, have turned aside troni virtue and made tor themselves the record of a wasted life. We are gratified that so many of you whom wo still delight to call "our boys," reciprocate the affection which we cherish lor you and regard the reputation of the college as In separable rrom your own. We are strong in the faith that you will always be ready to defend the in stitution npa list unjust aspersions, from whatever source they may emanate. It gives us pleasure to learn that your society has been organized on a permanent basis, antl that you have much of the esprit tlu etirpt which animates the alumni of more ancient institutions. Your Presi dent, already familiar with the usages or delibera tive bodies through honorable public service, will take care that your proceedings are marked with dignity and decorum. Your Executive Committee, under the Inspiration of its zealous and Indefatigable chairman, have spared neither time nor labor in col lecting the names, residences, and present occupa tion of our graduates, the personal history of those who tought for our National I nloti, aud especially of those who laid down their lives for their country. The work which Mr. Hluscheck and his colleagues have performed possesses more than a temporary value; for the Hoard of Directors are aliout to erect a monument to perpetuate the memory of those brave and patriotic graduates of the college who diotl in the military service during the late war, and the records of your committee will furnish them with a roll of honor very nearly complete. The Iioard of Directors, voung genflemen, will speak to vou through its President. I will only advert to the fact that r the members of the board who were in office at the opening of the college, twenty-one years sine, only one remains in It. lie still retains the parental Interest In the pupils which he manifested for the eldest of you in the prime of his life; amino one rejoices more to meet you on this your annual festival than Mr. Hoswell, the patriarch of the boartl. But you meet here a few of your old friends, formerly directors, whom yoa re member with respect and gratitude, and whose re gard for you is as strong as their labors in your behalf were beneficial. We welcome them to our hospitalities, and hope that they may witness many returns of this anniversary. We welcome his Honor the Mayor, the Committee on Girard Estates, and other members of Select and Common Councils, and representatives of the municipal government of Philadelphia. When they louk upon this large as semblage of reputable young men, they will see proof that their care in managing the great trust which Stephen Glrard conllded to this city has not been in vain. And now, my sons, as the frosts of advancing years admonish me that the winter of lire approaches, and that every reunion of your society subtracts one from the number, already small, how small we know not, or those which 1 shall bo permitted to witness, I feel that 1 may address every one of you iu the language . or David to his sou Solomon: "And thou, my son, know thou the God of thy fathers, and serve Him with a perfect heart and a willing mind ; for the Lord searcheth all hearts, and nnderstandetb all tho imaginations of the thoughts; if thou seek Him, He will be found nf tbee; but if thou forsake Him, He will cast thee off forever." Address by David Chambers, Esq. After a piece of music had been performed, David Chambers, Esq., was Introduced and spoke as fol lows: Mr. President and Gentlemen of the Board of Di rectors, Mr. President and Faculty of the College, and Ladies or the School and Household : It be comes my duty, on behalf of the Alumni of Girard College, to express to you their heartfelt thanks for your cordial welcome to our old home aud school on this bright and beautiful anniversary of our bene factor's birth. We have come from shop and store, from faim antl factory, from counting-room and office, to answer your anxious questionings of our welfare; to tell vou of the brothers we have left behind, unable to be with us, but whose hearts beat In unison with ours, and whose eyes are turned hltherwards from all parts of this broad Commonwealth ami nation to-day ; to tell you that we still love and honor you ; to renew our vows ot fidelity to truth, virtue, and patriotism, and to be strengthened again for the great battle of life in the perennial fount of your pains and your prayers. Whilst we have amongst our number to-day those who but a few weeks ago were In the far-off islands or the sea, we bring you good word or others in far distant States. Hut there are some who will never return to greet us. They have fallen at their posts or duty in civil life, or nobly given their lives that the nation might not perish. According to tacts and records lu the possession of the chairman of our Ex ecutive Committee, of the four hundred and fifty graduates who left the institution prior to the year 164, one hundred and eightv-nine enlisted in the army. Off this number twentv-two were wounded, eight were taken prisoners, and thirty-six were killed on the buttle-lield, or died in army hospitals and as prisoners of war. Whilst we honor the memo ries of those upon whose graves tho grass now grows soft and green on the hills and In the valleys of the South, we point with pride to this war record us the best evidence we can offer of tho strong at tachment of the graduates of tho Glrard College to republican Instil utlons. 'i i,..r. um ininiv here present who will recollect under hat auspices with what hopes and anticipa tions the doors or the ti hard College were opened for the admission, maintenance, and instruction of those who were to be its inmates, tw.'tity-one years ago. It was like starting a good ship out ou an un known sea, freighted not only with the dearest hopcx and loves of that moment, but with the destinies or generations as yet unboru. There were no prece dents to guide those who bad committed to them the responsible charge. Then came the first few years of tloubt and uncertainty, when the good ship was beaten and tossed about without rudder or compass. There were some who jeered and mocked : some were full of dire predictions of shipwreck and ruin, but there were others kind Christian friends who bade tha ship "God-speed," aud followed It with their fervent prayers. Thauk God! a helmsman wa pro videdone who, like the ancient mariner, keeping close to the earth, took tho hesvehlv hIitus. for M Cmtinul on the Eighth rag,) A
