Nothing : worse than milling • All the good
the capture of n city does is, it gives several

and it Vlitl rate we can employ our entire ar
my in doing pollee duty for rebellious cities,
and spend government funds in buying what
traitors have to sell at fabulous, prises. %Vera
it not fur the blockade, the South could mot
wish nothing better titan the presence of our
army. They can insult our soldiers as they
pleas.e with impunity. They can insuare theta
in ambuscades with perfect. safety. When
in I a cargo of girls were sent to Virginia
as wives for the planters the price of a wife
was at first one hundred pounds of tobacco;
but as the supply was unequal to the demand
some brought as high as sue hundred and . fifty
pounds. These were the primal mothers of

My dear doolor, I may be omehiered, but I
will not endure be ineeleneo and abuse of

After auother eenson or trifling humane

the Christian Baniier, and the God of Abraham

Junior Prize Contest
The Junior Prize Contest took place in
RIIEEM'S HALL on Saturday last. The atten
dance was large, and the exercises was very
creditable to the young men concerned. The
following is the programme : •
CtsNA, Cedar.,Run, Pa.—
The Orator began by noting the universality
of Change, next the seasons, had tlien the pd
litical state of the country. The subject is a
prolific one and was well handled.
Mental Culture. —L. MAxstr, Fairfax Co.
Va. The first part of this oration we could
not hear on account of the noise. The last
part was well written, but the orator's deliv
ery is defective:; wants practice.
Ilig‘s of Despotisin.—G N. GLOVER,
Kingston, Pa. This w.ts a plea for free opin
ion and free speech, both civil and religious.
It was well written and well delivered.
The True Hero —W. D. Cwrros, St. Louis,
Mo. This was a flue portrayal of the charac
ter of a true hero. It was splendidly written
and well spoken. The gentleman has the el
ements of a 'now. orator. •
Man the Architect of his own Fortune'. J. - 0
GRAHAM, Carliole Pa. The principal points in
this oration were that education, industry and
perseverence are necessary to success in life.
A tribute to self wade men.
Our Na/ion's C ISenANn, Wash
ington, D. C. This was a Spread Egiele"
eulogy on America. Very well delivered.
A Nation's F. PITCHER, Fair
mont, Va. From what we could hear of this
oration the speaker wished to show that the
mission of a nation is one of peace, not of
war. Delivery a little stiff.
The Study of Man: —B P. Melyrne, Bloom
field l'a. A very creditable effort. Well
written and tech delivered.
The award of Medals was announced on
Tit Urstltty morning. Mr. PITCHER gets the
gold one and Mr. GLOVER Ihe silver ono.

The whole tenor of' his lemarlis, was char
neteriAtic of the inativigifrotts - in IlfnugTit,
and plain find blunt in its appli•ation, while
his mariner cotircly free from tiny affec
tation or attempt at display. lie introduced
his subject by assuming that the class, ,w hick
hal just closed their college course, had been
rehearsing their parts, and were now to
take counsel together, before they appeared
on the stage of action to take their places
in the great drama, of life. Believing that
every man is intended by the Creator for some
special pursuit in life, he exhorted the mem
bers of the class to find out their vocation,
and then act their parts like men, as they
would avoid the hisses and scorn of the world,
anid . their own mortification of a failure. Ad
verting then to the momentous issues which
now engage the public mind, and which the
members of the class would be called on to
meet, as they cross the threshold of active du
ty, he went into ail examination of the causes
which had led to our present national troub
les.
The settlement of the country and the ostab,
lishment of the Government wax to promote
!tuition liberty, under which man can alone
attain the highest point of civilization ; but,
by an unfortunate coincidence, slavery was
platfted here at the same lime, and the "irro•
pressible conflict" between these two elements
of discord had increased in vigor and inter'.
untiLthe slave-power assuming the con•
trol of the Government, demanded that sla
very should he nationalized. Hence the
presept conflict between the North and South.
He believed that the Negro, whether slave or
free, will be a " vexed question" in this coun
try for grerations to come, and that as every
thing in nature contains within itself the elo
monts of its own destruction, it might be that
God had placed •the negro hero froip which
shall spring the seed of our National ruin,
Whenever Ile shall decree its- fall.
As we quote from memory, our outlines are
but meagre,_ nor would our limits allow a
more extended notice, were it otherwise..:—
There•may have boon .some among tho audi
once whose views did not accord with those
advanced by the Professor ; but all must ad

Union Philosophical Society
The anniversary of the Union Philosophi

June, 24th. The attendance was large and
respectable, and the exercises highly credits
ble. They were as follows :—Anniversary

The Address before the General
Union and Belles Lettres Societies.
The Address before the Union and Belles
Let Societies, on Wednesday morning,
by the Rev. - ROBERT RATTISON of Philadel
phia, was a decided success for the orator,
and a literary feat of the choicest kind.
Taking for his subiect the proposition that
War is n great eivilizer, he considered the
effect of the various wars on the progress of
civilization, and showed conehisivel3yhat
war, as a means of the great I Am, was the
great agent hi the furtherance of the liberties
of man, and the dissemination of the princi•
pies of civilization. The speaker's manner
was earnest and forcible to a remarkable
degree. llis deep, rich voice, his chaste
manner, combined with his perfect enuncia
tion, stamp him as no ordinary orator.
E ORATION REFONE THE ASSOC.ATED A
LUMNI by the Rev. CHAS. C. TIFFANY was
delivered on Wednesday evening- The
subject was Culture as a force. The speak
er took the ground that culture was a force
socially, morally and politically. In corisid.
ering it in the latter phrase, he showed that
the absence of general culture in the South,
had left the masses so entirely under the
control of the cultivated few, as to have been
led—against conviction and disposition into
'sece•.ssion and rebellion. Schools houses
and Secession were diametrically opposed to
oath other. The speaker's manner was good
and he acquitted himself with credit to him
self ~nd his Alma Mater.
Commeucem ant Day
The eonitnencenient exereises took piaee

history Of every nation, delivered in the
gentleman's easy and graceful style.

Harford Co., Md. Well written, but the
speaker lacks animation.
ClaSsical Oration—Full of Superstition.—
Wm. M. 001L1317, Carlisle, Pa. The orator
began with the origin of ancient mythology
caused
~by superstition ,and the perversion
of filets in history, then gave a beautiful de
scription of the advent of the Christian relig
`ion, and finished with the happy results of
universal Christianity. Very good.
Oration—Character and influence of the Pur

orator began by showing the melancholy
state of affairs in England in the times of the
Puritians, defended their religious intoler

their own times. Referred also -to the voy
age of the Mayflower. Very well delivered.
Dessertation— Who are the Puritans, J. fi
Lootets, Carlisle, Pa. Tlie orator has not the
same exalted idea of the Puritans that is en
tertained by some. He compared them with
the followers of Wm. Penn, which was not at
all favorable to the fernier. Finishdod with

Commencement of Irving Female
College.
The commencement exercises of thiS Insti
tution, located at 'Mechanicsburg, took place
on:Weduestlay last On Ihe Sunday preceding,
the Baccalaureate address was delivered in
the Methodist Church, by Prof. R. -D Cuaid
sees The church was crowded by a large
and intelligent audience, and the excellent
music, which was a marked feature of the oc
casion, was furnished bj the.young .ladies-of•
the eolle g o.
The Professor took the following text as the
basis of his remarks : "Now I know in
part, hal then shall I know, even also as I am
know - h." let. Cor. 131/i chap, 12th verse.
Elis thetne:lvas, "The imperfection of human
knowledge in this state of being. contrasted
with the imperfection of human knowledge in
the future world." At the conclusion of hie
discourse he addressed his remarksespeoially
to the young ladies, on the practical duties of
life. As they Were now to exchange the
scenes of their Alma Mater, for the more'aotive
concerns of human existence, it was impor
tant that they should make, supreme love to
God, the pure teachings of the Gospel, and
implicit obedienc, to the Divine commands
the basis of their character. He de
scribed the two extremes of society, one of
which would make wpnt•tin a slave to labor;
the other a creature of fashion and folly, and
showed that between these two extremes,
was woman's true sphere; so that their faiths
of life should rise superior to the degrAtlotion
of the one, and the heartlessness of ihiiHntlaer
—Reminding them in conclusiodot t4:11 - 0
portance of increased attainments in knowl
edge, in preparation for useful life. To blend
piety with knowlel;e, which would load them
through a path streivn with flowers to a "land
of pure delight" in an everlasting home.
The style of the speaker Was clear and
impressive, exhibiting a consciousness of the
dignity and - destiny of - the soul, inionnection
with the formation of true female ohitraoter.
The feast of good things was continued by
the delivery of the annual address before the
'• Irvington Literary Society," of the College,-
on Tuesday evening, by the Rev. G. W. CLIAL
FAUT, of Nlechanicsburg. We regret that our
limits will not permit an extended novice of
this interesting address, abounding, as it did,
with apt illustrations, and imprithing on the
minds of the audience, with much force, the
importance of a higher appreciation of the
necessity of female education.

of the graduates, on appearing for the first

highly creditable to them, and reflectmuch
honor on the Faculty connected with this po
pular Institution. Tho church was crowded
tu every part by the citizens of Mechanics

of whom expressed themselves highly grati

zest was imparted, by the soul stirring music'
of the Harrisburg Band.
In the evening, a large number of citizens
and strangers paid their respects to the Pre
sident and his estimable lady, and partook of
the bountiful refreshments provided for the
occasion. Since the founding of Irving Fe
male College, no commencement has been
more interesting Mid successful in all its de
tails than the present one, and we yegret that
we have not been able to give it such a notice
as its merits demand.
