up for the occasion. Religious ceremonies were

Rev. J. l.. Prichard. While cannot assent to all
of Mr.. Prichards positions, readily accord to
his discourse, bodness of thought, force fexpres

the people of Danvillc, we have never assem-
bled, upon any occasion, so large audience as

whether any other occasion, could, at this season.

Virginia Military Institute,

We take the following account of the
closing ceremonies at the Institute, from the
Bedford Sentinel. It's entirely correct,cx
cept that the Sentinel omits to mention the
address before the Society of Alumni by
Mr.. Baldwin of Washington city, and
the Valedictory address by Cadet Humes
OF Abingdon, an effort of singular beauty
and ftness-overAowing with evidences Of
warm heart, fine intellect, and a rich
imagination.
The closing exercises ofthis popular In
sntutlon, says the Sentinel, took place on
the 18th inst. At the appointed hour the
Cadets formed into battalion, and march
ed TO the Presbyterian Church, where the
exercises were opened with prayer by
Rev. Mr.. White, the pastor The Decla-
ration of Independence was then read bv
Cadet Smith. Cadet Mayo, of Richmond,
followed in an Grafton whichis represented
to have been a patriotic effort great beau
ty and merit.
Ncxtcame the graduating ceremonies.
The Salutatory Address was by Cadet
Cook of Hanover, followed by addresses
by Cadets Eliason of Alexandria, White
head of Nansemond and Harris of Rock
bridge, all highly creditable efforts Then
the distribution of Diplomas, and Vale.
dictory Address to the graduating Glass by
Mr.. Crump Of Richmond, member ofthe
Board ofvisitors. This is also spoken of
as production ofsurpassng excellence.
The examination, and the exercises
throughout, we are pleased toearn, rehec-
ted the highest honor upon the Institution,
and Its general management.
We are gratiied further, to learn that
not a disunion sentiment was breathed on
the occasion. In this respect, the Univer-
sity of Virginia, ofall our Institutions, stands
"alonein its glory" There alone the kissing
monster has dared to raise its hideous front
there let it bs>con6ned until it shall die
of its own venom.
