The following remarks Of the Staunton Spec
tator, commenting upon the recent commence
ment at the University, sufficiently demonstrate the
propriety of the proposition offered in the Society
of Alumni, by Mr., Baldwin, for the purpose of
precuding any inference that the opinions which
may be expressed by its orators prevail among
the members. The only argument against the
formal establishment of the rule was, that it is not
necessary, as the public would not be so unrea
sonabe as hold the Society responsible for the
various sentiments of its different speakers. The
structures of the Spectator upon Mr.. fuckers ad-
dress prove this reasoning fallacious. A gentle
man, appointed by a body like the Alumni to be
their representative on public occasion, is very
generally supposed to be, to some extent, an expo
nent of their views, If the appointment chance
to fall for two three successive years, on per-
sons who entertain and think proper to inculcate
extreme opinions the world will be apt to identi.
fly these opinions with the Association ITSELF
Members of the Society of Alumni well know
that the orators are chosen through esteem for
their personal characters, and because of their re-
putation for ability. The selection being thu S

espousing the peculiar ideas of the annual dis
course.
Says the Spectator:
Another rampant ultra-Southern, Secession speech,
indicating talent worthy of better cause deliver
ed before the Society OF Alumni by j. Randolph Tue
ker, Esq, OF Winchester. A lew more harrangues of
like stripe will give to the Institution political repu-
taon, with which niDe-tenths of the Alumni would re-
gret to be identified. We learn, however, that some
thing palalabe may be expected at the next meet
ing, Mr. Toombs of Georgia, having been selected TO
deliver the Address. statement will, moreover be
hereafter made upon the back of published speeches. by
which the Society will be relieved from any apparent en-
dorsement of peculiar sen mens that may be advanced
This s emnently proper. These gentlemen of extreme
views In the Society of Alumni, as every where else
but uncomfortable faction, and it is but right that
the circulation OF their doctrines under the auspices OF
the Society," should be accompanied by expression
OF its neutrality in the premises.

DEATH OF WEALTHY MANA correspon-
dent writes the Boston Traveller, from Quebec,
under date of June Is, an account of his visit to the
beautiful Falls Of Montmorenci, and adds
"Mr Patterson, who owned these Falls, &C., and
all the land on both sides of the river for twenty
miles up and down, died the day before we were
there, and we saw his funeral procession, which
was about one and half miles long composed
almost entirely of his tenants, who rode in caashes
and their little carts, with long streamers of black
Grape Ayiug from their hats. He was a Scotch
man by birth, and came to Canada poor boy;
but being shrewd anas industrious, worked his
way up, until he died one ofthe richest men in the
Province"

FATAL AFFRAY IN BARNWELL DIsTRICT.-
We are indebted to a friend for the particulars of
a horrid affray which occurred at Barnwell C. H.,
S. c., on the 18th of June. 1t appears from the
account of our correspondent that Mr. John Nc
Daniel, who kept boarding house and grocery
store in the village, dismissed two young men,
viz: Daniel Topin and VIM Topn from his house,
for some cause not mentioned. These young
men, in company with some others, entered the
grocery store of Mr.. McDaniels the same day, and
violently assaulted him-beating him over the head
and inhicting wounds of which he died in forty-ive
hours afterwards. His Clerk, Mr.. Thomas Rich
ards, was also severely beaten-having receiv-
ed no less than six wounds in his head alone
Fortunately, these have not proved fatal
Immediately after the assault, the young men en-
gagged in it endeavored to make their escape
Two of them-Wiliam Topin and Seab Fannn
succeeding in doing so. Four others-Danel
Topin, W. E. Murphy, Howell Baysden and -
Pitts were arrested and safely lodged in Jail.
A few days after this melancholy event, meet
ing of the citizens of Barnwell C. Fl was held
and resolutions passed to clear the town OF all
abandoned characters Maj. A. P. Aldrich was
chairman and Messrs Samuel Bailey and J. G..
w. Duncan appointed Secretaries. Several re-
ports have been made to the Chairman of that
meeting in relation to its objects, and several of
the most suspicious characters have vacated the
village. We trust that there may be no repetions
of such shocking outrage in that enlightened
community - Republic.

in contact with the shutter and the force was so great
as to shver the wood into about dozen fragments,

NEW POSTAGE LAW.

The Act of Congress establishing the reduced
rates of postage makes material discrimination
between paid and unpaid letters, and the expecta-
ton appears to be very generally entertaine d,
(says the Baltimore American) that the pre- pay
ment of postage will be observed as a fixed and
common rule The new three cent coin will
go far to promote this object, while to men of bu-
siness, and others whose correspondence is large,
the use of stamps will be found exceedingly con.
venient We are authorised to say that stamps
for the rates under the new postage law can be
obtained to any amount at the Baltimore Post
Office; and that every letter containing stamp
will be also marked "paid," so that in case the
stamp is lost from the letter the evidence of its
prepayment will still be apparent In regard to
the prepayment of letters as general practice,
the Philadelphia Inquirer contains the following
suggestion
On Tuesday next, the first dag Of July, the new
law reducing the Postage goes into operation and we
would suggest, the cost OF postage Letters to
be but three cents except for great distances, that
merchants and others whose correspondence is very
extensive should adopt RULE, always to prepay the
postage; and to require it from all their customers
which will obyiate the necessity Of keeping postage
account with their correspondents, and prevent any i'll
leeiing on Delg oplgeu 10 pay cens on letters not
prepaid.
For THE TINES
NEW POSTAGE LAW.
On and after the Ist July the postage letters not
weighing haitian ounce, for any distance ex-
ceedlng three thousand m les, will be three il pre-
paid, and cents not difference in favor Of the cash
system OF about 81 per cent.
The intention OF Congress in making this wide diffe-
renee between the cash and credit system, evil
IDENTITY with view to introduce the cash system gene
rally, aad with that view ordered large amount of
coins 10 be issued; BESIDES the Postmaster Gene
ral will place stamps in the various post-ufces in the
country; men oil business particularly 10 cities will ge-
neraly adopt the cash system, by layng the postage
the letters they write and by sendil stamps or re-
questing their correspondents pay and charge them
with The postage on all letters written on their own b-
sinesF; but with large class Of persons particularly
those residing 10 the country and who do not write
or receive many letters, the difference OF o.
Letter viii not probably be regarded as OF much mpor-
1ancei bu, TO person receiving % letters day and
sending away many, ths difference would be S per
day or 1855 per year. ! wend therefore advise all
persons 10 pay postage when they write. With many
persons u has been the practice pay postage let
efs they receire. By paying the postage all letters
they send aI5Gy there will be saving on 81 per cent
10 ne parties. II Is hope4 be system OF pre- payment
will be adoped.
