Union county, Penna., there was established, fifteen:years ago, an University which has been extremely successful, without aid. from newspaper cute& or any other " outside " assist ance. 11 was established by the religious denorni nittion called Baptists, but is open to'Uhristian stn. dents of all other persuasions. Attached to it is a good Academy, at which boys receive preliminary Instruction. In connection with it, during the last ten years, also has been a - superior Female "Institute, of• which Miss Lucy W.-Standen is with Miss Harriet E. Sprat asiissistaut, and a full corps of other teachers. This Institute is well attended, and is under the supervision of the Rev. Dr. Justin R. Loomis, President of the Uni versity. Stiturdni . and Monday wore occu 7 pled with the examinations—those of the Fes male Institute also'extending into ,Tuesday.. The ; Rev. Mr. Lund and the Rev. Mr. ROwland ap mired, on Tuesday, respectively as the Orator and Poet..,choien,bythe ,Alumni 7 --the first delivered a truly eloqUent oration On - "Scieneh and Revels,. tion,” 'and the'other recited a poem of some length, in which satire was delicately pointed by wit, the subject being "The Times." The Commencement of • the Theological Depart ment took place on the forehoon, and that of the Female Seminary on the afternoon of Wednesday. On the latter occasion the following young ladies of the Senior Class graduated : Ellen S. Dickson, Lewisburg ; Anna E. Lloyd, Harrisburg; Sue D. Langstaff,. Mount Holly, N. J. ; Ella Quinby, Plambe .T. Qulnby, and Anna A. Taylor, of-Wil mington, Del., each receiving a. Gold Medal—the highest honor of the Institute. On Wednesday evening, Dr. R. Shelton Macken zie, of. Philadelphia, as Orator and Poet of the literary societies of the University, delivered an address on "National Characteristics," and also recited an original poem. The Commencement took .place on Thurs day forenoon, In Commencement Hall, .in the University . : .buildings, under the presidency of the Rev. Dr. Loomis.. On -the platform,-with the President, were assembled :his colleagues, Profes sors Thomas F. Curtis, George R. Bliss, Charles S. James, and Francis W. Tustin ; Messrs. bane 0. . Wynn and Owen P. Patches, principal and assistant of the Academy; Misses Riindell and Spratt, s of the. Female Institute ; Thomas Wattso n, Es., of delphia, chairman of the. Trustees; Rev: Adie K. Bell, Hon. R. P. Runyon, Charles F. Abbott, • Esq., Henry Creskey, Esq.,and other Trustees ; the Rev. Dr.-Brown, Bridgeton,.N. J., Rev. B. Griffith, Rev. S. 11. Merick, Rev. gr. A. Pelts (New York), and other clergymen ;.the Orators and the Poets of the Alumni and Literary Societies, and various other gentlemen. The Hall was literally crammed—one half being ladies. The space in front of. the Presi dent was occupied by the students, and on. a plot ' form immediately opposite him, a capital brass band, which had no sinecure during the previous part of the week, "discoursed most eloquent music," at fitting intervals. The Commencement began with national music, after which a suitable and impressive prayer was made by the Roy. President of the University. The graduating.class then severally delivered addresses, (including a poem. S! I.Dread the War," by Joivet 'Gilbert Hemet,) of whloh we may say chat the most. //41141/MIANIP...s.ati S'alutatory, by Charles Albert Stone; " Mehl eil'Effb.Trplirles - irrtinence . on Germany," by Theodore A.

Davies, Camden, N. J., and the Rev. S. 0. Hyde, Philadelphia.. The Rev. Benjamin Griffith, of the 'Baptist Publication So ciety, Philadelphia, and Samuel Odenheltuer, M. D., respectively received the honorary degree or D. D. The proceedings terminated with a Bacca laureate Address, by President Loomis, which con tained much excellent advice, tersely put, and the assembly was then dismissed with the usual Rene diction. In the evening, President Loomis held a levee, at his residence, which was most numerously attended. The first term of the next A.oademie year begins on September 22d, on which clay;also, study will be resumed at the Youths' Seminary and the Female Institute. - It Is doubtful whether, in the time, any Univer sity has so well discharged its functions as that of Lewisburg. The course of study is sufficient to de velop the intellectual faculties without too labori ously taxing them, and the almost paternal care of the President, with the ability of the rest of the Faculty, have mainly tonde the great success of this institution. It is probable that some effort will soon be made to increase its endowment, in order to enlarge the sphere of its utility. The University Is wholly out or debt: As a building, it Is a distin guishing ornament to Lewisbarg. It stands upon a gentle elevation, commanding a line view of the Susquehanna, on the west bank of whose west bratieh tho town is built. It is no extravagance to call Lewisburg "the prettiest town in Central Pennsylvania." The same authority adds: "It his seven churches, a flourishing university, two express offices; two newspaperi ' and Is the seat hasof Justice for Union county. It also direct tele graphic communication with the principal places throughout the United States. Lesilsburg is noted for the salubrity of its air, and the high mural cha racter.of its inhabitants. It is easy of access from all points, being reached from Philadelphia by two railroads, and also having direct railroad connection with Baltimore, Pittsburg, Elmira, Easton, Wilkes barre, &C. The Female Institute' Buildings aro within the borough limits, in the - mtdst of a beauti ful grove of over six acres. The buildings are en tirely new, having been erected at a cost of over aIY,OOO, and are fitted up with all the modern conve niences. From 80 to 100 pupils can be accommoda .ted with board and lodging. , " At present it has over seventy pupils, and the sa lubrity of the place was evident from their healthy looks. Lewisburg is essentially un University-town— as much so, on a small scale, as Oxford or Cam bridge, across the great waters. Socitil Statistics: The Boston DatlyAdverilser calls the attention of the people of :Massachusetts to the increase of vice and crime among the female population of the Stet., as seen in the growing abandonment of Want child ren, and in the enlarged category of the offences for which women are arrested by the pollee of the cities. The brat and chief of the natural causes which ag gravate the moral condition of the State under this head is found.by our contemporary in the great dis proportion that exists In Massachusetts between the number of the male and female population, Involving the community in peculiar difficulties "respecting the occupation of women, their residence, the tem eta, itenB which surround them, and the way in which what the English call 'the social question' affeots our systems of public punishment and reform." It appears from the returns of the last national census that in 1660 the excess of the number of wo men, of all ages, in the State of Massachusetts, above that of ineu, wall 38,970. Since that time the war rand the steady surplus in the emigration of the males must have taken from the State, the Advertiaer thinks, sixty or seventy thousand more men—these alSo, it must be observed, of the marriageable ages —leaving a surplus of 100,000 women. Between the ages of Lateen and forty-five, the ' ulation of wo men In blessachusette Is about342,t tI. The pOpula, lion of men of the same age does not probably ex ceed 242,000 at the present time. On this state of facts our contemporary remarks as follows: " This entire disproportion, greater than we re member to have Observed in the statistics of any other country, may be ascribed, to a considerable extent, to the war. But we should mistake greatly if we should consider the war as the only cause. Before the war existed, in 1600,•tbe excess of women of all ages was, as we have said, 38,970. Counting only the population between the ages of fifteen and fitly, the excess of women within• those limits' Well twanly.seven thousand—a surplus much too large• to be overlooked In a careful study of the crime or the community. The causes are evident. Young men emigrate freely and largely. They emigrate In much greater proportion than women do. The emigration from Marsachusetts is much larger than the immigration into it. The consequence is that a large proportion of unmarried women aro lei by the tide of emigration within our borders. The movement of the army is to be looked upon as a brim emigration. Many, alas of those who have lett us cannot return. Ot those who can, many will all tempted to take up their abodes In distant States, So that the surplus of one hundred thou. rand marriageable Women above the number of men of the marriageable lige in Massachusetts May be looked upon, not indeed as a precise statistical statement of an evil which we have to correct, but es not so far distant from the truth as at first eight might appear." 1. he, advertiser conceives that the correction of 'lbis evil is to be found In the encouragement, by all proper means, of the emigration of women from Massachusetts into the regions of the West, where they are needed, and of the syatematio immigration of men front Europe into the. State; In support of which former remedy it adds : sottish con eiderations of a temporary lack in the supply. of workwomen ought not to stand a moment In the way of the teetlfying of a gross disproportion, which, of necessity, seriously endangers the morals of the community and- the very foundation 0f... civil so 'elf ty." PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY, JULY 4)864. SCIENCE AND ART. In au article on "The Physical Constitution of the Sun," sale; Our readers lust recollect the intense interest with which the publio received the announcement, of MM. Bunsen and HirchotPti wonderful discovery of Spectrum analy sis, and the surprise which was caused by the foot that the chemical constituents of the sun might he determined by this valuable method of investiga tion. The conquests of science, however, are some times dearly bought,-and the acquisition of. I) new theory will occasionally compel us to relinquish an other which, though It answered the purpose, is found to be incompatible with the new discovery. This was the case with the constitution of the sun according to W. lierschel's theory, which supPosesl it to consist of a dark nucleus, surrounded' with a high atmosphere, the upper part of which only was •in a state of combustion, and was called the pho tosphere. When a spot was remarked on the sur face of the sun, it might be easily explained by this theory by saying that the burning envelope had, by some convulsion, been torn open, and that the dark nucleus thhs became visible through the gap. The fooulte, or wrinkles seen OD the burning sur face, might be explained by the vehement no tion caused by a temperature infinitely superior to any we can produce on our earth. The instanta neous changes of lortri . observable In the spots were equally , well explained by Herschel's theory, and Arago had proved the gaseous nature of the pho tosphere, by showing that It did not emit any polar ised light, which it would if It were liquid or solid. But M. Kimbell - overthrows this convenient theory, by declaring that the sun's nucleus, Instead of being dark, is even more luminous than the photosphere, `because the spectrum, formed by passage of solar rays through Prisms, presents the black bands observed by Wollaston, in 1502, and since studied by Frauen borer, instead of the brilliant bands produced by the vaperitted metals, constituting the visible Incandes cent surface of the silo. Unwilling to forego the advantages accruing from Herschel's theory, M. Petit, the astronomer of Toulouse, in a paper ad dressed to the Acadetny of Sciences, describes two obiervations made by him ror the purpose of mea suring the 'distance of the nucleus from the pho tosphore. From this delicate operation it appears ,that the nueleus, which ceased to ho visible in a spot at a distance of nine seconds from the sun's limb, • was still visible at ten seconds, which by calculation gives for the altitude of the sun's atmosphere a Value equal to thegearth's radius. Hence, Herschel's theory would seem to he confirmed. The town of Wilia is to be lighted with gas tram pine wood. The basins win contain 60,000 cubic 'feet of water. The gasometer, of castgron, will be of the same capacity. The plan exhibits _three distinct edifices for the distillation of gas, its purifications, and distribution. Forty-nine towns in Germany, Hungary, Italy, and Switzerland, and quite lately Heti ingfors; owe their lighting to gas distilled from wood or jutesal. Mr. Barnum hai recently added a mechanical novelty to his Museum, which consists of a case 4 feet Inches high, 3 feet wide, and 2 feet thick; which contains two hundred varieties of elaborate, full-sized, strong, and useful pieties of furniture of various kinds, all compactly etowcd away. • The French are turning zoology to a practical account. They aro deep in silk worm culture, leech culture, eyeti culture, apl culture, crUStacea Culture, and comfit! culture. On the 28th ultimo experiments were made with. rifled guns and iron plates, in the presence of the Emperor of Austria. The thickness of the plates used is not known to the public, but certain it is that they were neither smashed, pierced, nor cracked. The gun used was a 46-pounder; the shot, which were of cast-steel, weighed fifty-six pounds; tho charge of powder was about fourteen pounds English. Though forty shots were fired, at a dis tance of five hundred yards, no injury was done to the plates, to which, by an ingenious contrivance, considerable elasticity has been given. Notwith standing that the gun used was loaded at the breech, the gunners did not once miss the object at which they tired. • Launt Thompson is getting on finely with his Napoleon, which promises to be one of the noblest .statues of the first Bonaparte ever made. It is slightly above life size, and represents Napoleon standing in his favorite posture, with his hands crested behind his baok, and wearing tights, top boots, and a long surtout. ;The head and upper part of the body are entirely finished. The former is splen didly modeled and preserves in a high degree all the fir echnracteristic features and delicate organization of the original.

Mr. and Mrs. Roseleaf, Mr.,Yeany, Miss Gushington, and one or two other well-known cha racters, which were in the "Evening Party," are retained iu the sketoh, but two now elaborate full length portraits are added, and an abundance of amusing and characteristic details of visitors' life at the sea-side. The most finished sketch is an Italian organ-man, with a monkey, portrayed with no other mechanical aid than a beard and a " wide a-wake cap." The command of face and of panto mimic expression in this Is marvellous, and far su perior to the ordinary acting of the stage. The whole scenels full of humorous observations, and in the execution several slight ventriloquial effects are attempted. The town band plays a waltz on the promenade, but before they begin, an old woman or man, with a Kentish dialect, is heard in the distanoo buzzing "Buy my fine prawns?" A marriage, thoroughly a /a Francatre, has just occurred in the theatrical world. Only last Thurs day week; ill. Leon Aohard, a successful Singer at the Opera Comique, suddenly bethought himself that he wanted a wife. On that day he said to a friend: "I am a prosperous man. I have a well. furnished house In Paris, and another in the coun try, and lam making 60,000 francs a year by my profession ;it Is time for me to be married. I care not fbr a fortune, hut I am determined to have a young. and pretty woman." Two days afterward the friend in question escorted to a stage-box in the Opera. Comique a singularly beautiful young lady, hldile. Le Poitevin, the daughter ors painter. She there saw Achard for the first time singing on the stage, and was given to understand that he might perhaps make her an offer. The next day a dinner was arranged at which to introduce the partiea. M. Achard, on being presented, said at once, "Made moiselle, will you marry. met" Her answer, with out circumlocution, was, "Yes, sir." The wedding took place on the 6th inst. A letter from the Camp of Chalons states that among the amusements organized for the recreation of the soldiers in their leisure hours, is a little thea treof marionettes, organized by Captain Puig, of the 100th Regiment. The whole is fitted up with great taste, and the mechanism, which puts in raQ tion a considerable number of persons, all military personages, officers or privates, is complete. The colonel of the regiment has placed everything .that was necessary at the disposal of Captain Puig; and has had colored lanterns hung to the trees all round the place where the little theatre stands. The last performance was honored with the presence of the Duchess of Magenta and the wives of Gene. Dour baky, Dumont, Bellecourt Saurin, and Sow:nein. The pieces played were all military. Mrs. J. E. Breyer, who died lately at Fort Wayne, Indiana, was the daughter and gran ad augh. ter of actors, was an actress herself all her life, and has left a family of actors. She played as long ago as 1824-with Edmund Kean, and till 1856 was a pro. .vincial actress. in England. In the line of "old women" she Showed considerable ability.

The Nashville' Uriion furnishes the following particulars of the death of_Major General McPher son : His corps held the left of the line in the fight ing Lidera Atlanta. The corps were arranged en echelon. The General had ridden from left to right in superintending the auvance of his skirmish line, and was returning again to the right, when a party of rebel bushwhackers, in ambush, ran from their covert, between the 18th and 17th Corps, anil crying . out, "There they come, give them hell," fired. A. couple of staff officers and two orderlies accompa nied the General, all of whom escaped, except the General, who fell, and expired almost instantly, the ball having out' the aorta. The enemy rushed for ward to rifle the body. Officers and orderlies meet lzg Colonel Strong, Inspector General, and Captain . Buell, both of General MoPherson's staff, accour panted by a few orderlies, related the circumstance 4 Strong instantly drew the party into line and ordereda a charge. This handful of brave and impetuous - men, regardless of the foemen in front, dashetigal lantly ahead and drove off the thieving enemy, and) while Captain Buell with his revolver kept them at hay, Colonel Strong, assisted by the orderlies, lifted the nude body, stripped of every article of clothing save a glore and sock, to his own horse and bore it safely from the field. Beneath the light glove cover ing the loft hand was a diamond ring, which the vandals failed to discover, and which will be for warded to the General's friends In Ohlo. This is one of the most gallant little episodes of the war, and Colonel Strong's daring and determined charge for the body of his loved chief Is worthy of the pen of history's poet.

All this line has to be occupied, and every point ready for defence for any sudden attack made upon it by a brave, powerful, and wily enemy. Besides this, bodies of men must be movable so as to operate on the flanks. Our readers can figure for themselves the exact. numbfir of men re quired to hold this line.

The glorious news from Northern Georgia absorb ed the public attention on Saturday and yesterday; the city was lively with delightful excitement ; and even the grim savants, who •atfeet to-see an almost interminable war, grew • buoyant with hope. The fate of Sherman, and its bearing upon the result of the general campaign .and the war, was liberally discussed; and it was generally accepted that, should the effect of Hood's initiatory eng4gements be sustained and culminate in a decisive vlctury, no fears, not even doubts, need be entertained as to the result or the campaign In - Virginia.

(Firm the Richmond Enquirer, Jaly 23.] The news of the 'victory at Atlanta, which the telegraph brought to Richmond on last Saturday, delighted the public as much• as any •that ..has .been recelv . ed during the war; It caused a, gene ral joy throughout the city, , and will carry the same to all quarters of the country. General Hood has signalized. his acceptance of the command of the Army of. Tennessee with a brilliant victory, and justified. his selection by success, the high est evidence of its - propriety. The tide has turned, the army has faced about, and the strategy of advance takes the place over that • of re. treat.

General Hood was known to be a man ever ready to tight, and his ap pointment was regarded as practical orders to take no steps backward. It was felt that. he might be defeated ; but it was believed that he would not re treat without tirst trying the ordeal of battle. He has justified the confidence of the President. He has sought a battle within the first week of his com mand, and won an important victory. Of the com pleteness of this victory, at the time of writing nothing is known; but the army is now, notwith standing its losses, much stronger than betore it .measured strength with its adversary. The attack was masse, not received ; the enemy were driven, not repulsed. These terms are new to be applied to the battles of the Army.of the Tennessee. General Hood, we believe, is not the man to rest satisfied with even attacking and driving the enemy. He will follow up his advantages, and now that - he hiss broken up the old policy of that army, he will, he must press on, and cease not to drive the enemy hack, and eventually out of Georgia. Light breaks from the only dark point in our lines. Atlanta is now felt to be safe . , and Georgia will soon be free from the toe. The central army of the Confederacy has recovered its prestige and de feated the exultant enemy.

The Sion: on the War-Path-21harder of an officer by the entateada—Tbe Heads of the Cut• Head Miscreants Cut OW. In reply to Gen. Sully the council of the Sioux issued an ultimatum asking that all their .losses by last year's expedition of Sully and Sibley be made good to them, or she they will continue at war on thdsettlements. They Insist also that roads shall not be made through their lands. If these proposi tions are not acceded to they declare that the war must go on, and "everyofficer captured alive will he made to eat the flesh .of the soldiers or men he leads and are captured with Wm.' • " The correspondent of the St. Paul Press says the expedition fitted out, against them in view of this ultimatum, luta commeuced its marsh into the Sioux country. On the third day out from Fort Sully signs of lurking savages were dircerned r yet nothing certain was ascertaMed until the third day, (28th,) when the first act of hostility on the part of. the Sioux occurred. The shooting and death of Capt. Fielding, the topographical engineer of the expedi tion, settled all speculation In that direction. The officer was a captain in the 2d United States Ca velry, and was recommended to the position of engineer to. this expedition by, the Smithsonian luttitute, on account of his high scientific attain ments. In order to make his cotes of the line of survey more complete, he often ventured farther on the flanks than prudence would warrant, a fact which was noted by the general, who, only the day Wore, cautioned him In that respect. In return, the captain remarked that he had lived twelve years with the inuians, and believed them to be a much abused race ; that he had no fears of their harming him, if they were not disturbed. He has moved du ring the day with the must advanced scouts, who, at high noon, looked from the bluffs into the narrow valley of the Little Sheyenne. The sun's rays were scorching, and seeinga large tree In the valley which cast an inviting shade, the captain, accompanied by an orderly and scout, turned tils horee's heridln that di re ot ion, descending Into the Valley. The soout pass ed over the tow nearly dry bed of the river, and, re moving the saddle trout his horse, picketed It out to graze. The captain ales dismounted, and stepped down to a pool or water to get a draught, and was In the act of dipping It up, as three indium, who were concealed among the weeds on the bank above, rose and fired upon him, two shots taking effect, one through the right arm and the other through the breast. Their attention was now turned to the Ecout, at. whom they discharged a dozen or more ar rows, though harmlessly ; the carbine in the hands of the scout discouraging further attempts to kill him, and stampeding two of the horses,. they started towards the Nitwit' to the eastward. They were not able to secure the horses, but Fuoceeded in driving them off In the direction they wished to es cape.. The wounded captain was shorly after lifted into an ambulance and taken to camp, suffering great pain. No surgery could afford him relief, and In two or three hours he was a corpse." Tux PURSUIT.—The orderly at the first shot has tened to the general, who had halted the command on the; brow of the btu& to select his camp ground, and, acquainting him with the facts, two companies were instantly despatched in pursuit. From the hilltops the pursuers and pursued could be easily distinguished for three or tour miles away, the ca valry rapidly gaining on the distant specks, and soon coming up with the Indian scouts, who wore keeping the retreating Sioux well In sight but making no attempt to kill or capture them besides tiring,a few shots at groat range. The arrival of sol diers put a new phase upon matters, and to avoid their better-aimed bullets the Sioux threw them selves on their faces in a buffalo wallow, not deep enough, however, to shield thorn and a Jew volleys directed at the spot put the villains beyond the power of doing more harm. The 'killed red-skins were thought to have be longed to the Cut Heads, a division of the Yanoto- XlBill tribe of the Sioux. The heads were struck off and placed on poles near the place where the cap tain was shot. In moving from camp the next morning the road led by the spot, and as we ob served the ambulance bearing the body of the dead officer, moving slowly by their beads, with their ghastly, grinning countenances, the long black hair whipping in the wind over their (repulsive featured, we felt that a just vengeance had overtaken the villainous Sioux, and that such a fate was richly deserved. LITT. AND DEAD WEIGET or'Snaer.--The Eng lish rule Is to.weigh sheep. when fatted, and divide the weight by seven and call it quarters. Thus, a sheep weighing 140 pounds would give 20 pounds a quarter as dead weight. If the sheep are in good condition this rule is sufficiently accurate for all purposes. Poor sheep will fall below the tuark, and extra fat ones go ever it. IlEiMil 'The Money market has assumed its wonted ea.se and there is no difficulty.
