TINS morning our little village was all
hurry and hustle on account of the eel.
ehratinn Of the Sons Of Temperance
There was delight playing on the face Of
the youth, at the anticipated pleasure q
the day. At II o'clock the Oxford Divi.
sion assembled at the Division room, where
they formed in order of procession, and
marched out 10 meet the University Di-
vision, which was also out in procession.
After meeting, the two Divisions march,

at the door of which the procession halt.

the Ladies of Oxford, together with the
pupils Of the Female Institute, who moved
in procession, escorted by the brass band,
filling the air with strains Of music. After
the Ladies were seated in tho church, the
two Divisions marched in and took their
seats near the pulpit. Professor WADDEL
having delivered an appropriate prayer,
Gen. TALIAFERRo stepped forward, holding
in hand an elegantly adorned aud beauii.
fully designed banner, bearing on its broad
surface, in golden letters, the motto of the
order, drawn in triangular form enclo-

eye. Above this impressive drawing stood
in bold relief, a jet d'edu, painted in style
calculated TO deceive the eye aud induce
the belief that the pure water was play

At the close Of Mr.. SuLEv's remarks,
peals Of applause rung from all parts Of
the audience, which was large. The
house becoming silent, Miss LoBDEL, Of
the Female Institute, seated at the Piano
procured for the occasion, executed scien-
tifcally beautiful air, which was accom-
panied by an original ode, sung by the
young Ladies Of The Female Institute.
Afier the ode, Professor WADDEL intro.
duced to the audience Mr.. FARRAR, ora

a manner far beyond the expectations Of
his most sanguine friends. Ills address
would have done honor to a veteran in

ISLANDER UPON TuB MISSISSIPPI UNI.
vRRsTY.-A friend has called our atten.
ton TO a communication in the Baptist
Chronicle, Of the 10Th uli., published at
New Orleans, which grossly nisrepresents
the character and condition Of the Uni
Versily. The editor introduces the COM
mnnicaiion by saying: "h ia sent by res.
idCni Of Mississippi, who received il from
a pedO- baptist minister, Of high standing in
the State, with permission to publish"
So il seems that the article was coniribut.
ed by Minister Of the Gospel We
have no inclination TO call in question the
''high standing" Of the author; but as men
Of "bigh standing" have sometimes been
known to do some very low things, we feel
at liberty TO comment upon the production
without regard TO the imputed character
of The writer, From the knowledge he
displays in some respects, IN reference to
the University, il is fair to infer that his
Misrepresentation are not the result Of
ignOrOnce, but design. In a future num-
Der, il others do not take the task from
our hands, We shall endeaYor TO point
out some Of his misrepresentation, so
that the public may not be misied by
them, even when blinded by The endorse
ment uf the Editor Of the South Western
Baptist Chronicle. We are determined
to nail down these ISLANDERS upon our
State Institution, no matter from what
quarter they proceed. If clergyman
ventures before the public in The character
1f slanderer, his black robe should moi,
nor cannot protect him. !
Somehow or other we cannot resist the /
inclination to believe that this precious q
,pislle comes from one Of those dissppoint- '
