steam ON Plank READS.

It's said that Captain Erickson is cnga.
geo IN producing steam carriage for use
upon plank roads, by which large bodies
may be transported at good speed with
small cost Fifteen years ago. many a.
tempts were made In England to produce
a steam carriage suitable to be used upon
common roads, but no experiment resulted
favorably. Either the expense az the now
err, or the soitncss Of the roads, prevented
the practical introduction Of the machines.
though many steam journies were per.
formed. There seems to be no good rca-
son why steam power cannot be success
fully used on our plank roads. and VIC have
no doubt it will soon be.-B46alo Courier.
This object is worthy Of the genius Of
Erickson; and we most sincerely wish him
entire success, in his laudable efforts to
cheaper the transport. Of the products Of
industry. Nothing could tend in greater
degreeto add to the profits Of labour. than
to diminish transit charges, by the in

University Of Virginia.


ment were held in the Rotunda Of the u
University, Saturday week, in the presence
of large audience, among whom were
Miss. Bremen, the Swedish authoress and
Gov. Floyd. We learn from the Virginia
Advocate, that the number of students
who received the various rewards for
merit and successful study was very large.
The addresses were of high order OF
merit, creditable alike to the young gen
tlemen who delivered them and to the
University. The Grafton delivered by Mr..
John Randolph Tucker, before the Soci-
ETY. of Alumni was an elaborate defence of
the right of separate State secession. The
address will be published.
In consequence, as we presume, ofthe
sentiments uttered by this speaker, rcso-
luton was offered in the Society by Col.
John B. Baldwin, to the effect that the So
ciety did not wish to be understood either
as approving or disappearing the opinions
expressed in the speeches published by its
order, which gave rise to considerable dis
cussion. On the first day ofthe meeting it was
adopted; but on Saturday, when there was
much larger attendance, reconsidera-
ton was carried, and the resolution so a
mended as to be prospective in its opera
ton. 1t will go into effect on and after
the first of January, 1852. The modifca-
ton was made to satisfy the friends Of Mr.
Tucker, who stated that they would con-
slider it an insult pointed at him, if, after his
speech had been delivered, the Society re-
quired such resolution to be published
along with it.
Hon. Robert Toombs, of Georgia, was
elected to deliver the next annual Grafton.
The Board ofVisitors Of the University
have appointed Jas. P. Holcombe. Esq,
formerly of this place, Adjunct Professor
Of Law. He will take charge Of the equi-
ty branch Of the law course, and also Of
some other subjects which have necessari-
ly been passed over hastily heretofore.
Thursday evening, preceding the COM
mencement, the Valedictory Grafton be-
fore the Washington Society Of the Uni
versity, wasdelivsred by Mr.. Samuel Gar
land, Jr. of Lynchburg. The subject was
1.-THE duties of the young men of the
South" and wecxpress.says the Advocate,
the general sentiment when we say, that it
was handled in a manner which did great
credit 10 the speaker. The theme was a
delicate one, as Mr.. Garland seemed to be
fully aware; but he treated it in such
manner as to wound the feelings ofno one.
He advocated with great warmth the for
nation of Union party. by which the
foul spirit of abolition would be driven out
of the country. On the whole the speech
was an excellent one.
