Mr.. IIisbcc's Address, and the Faculty.

To THE EpI1oc OF The FREE PRGsS:-l ike your
notions on the SUBJECT OF Tree discussion and beg
leave therefore to make a remark or two about the
Faculty and Mr.. Illghee.
In your first article you censurcd the Faculty for
refusing permission to Mr.. II gbee to deliver his adj
dress, because certain theological opinions in it were
found not 10 taty with the opinions OF the Faculty !"
This was a pretty serious charge, as intended to tx
upon the Faculty a very ntolcrable excess ct intole-
rance, 1t was, however, satisfactorily refutcd by the
note of Prot. Torrey, published yesterday IN which
he distinctly stated that the Faculty acted under no
much Tor that point.
Prot. Torrcy next gives the real reason why Mr..
HiIbee's address was not accepted Tor delivery -
which was that he had chosen a " subject so purely
theological as to be thought inappropriate to the
time aud occasion" You still censure their action
and consider THIS reason Tor IT unsatisfactory. But
| think YOU do not rightly stale the nature OF the
proposed performance, and that your comparison of
this case to that OF Rev. Mr.. YALE, may mislcad
others, Mr.. Yale was not invited hithcr by the Fac
u,ty, nor by the Corporation, but by an independent
Society. Neither the Faculty nor anybody else was
therefore in the least degree responsible for any adj
dress he might choose to deliver. 1t was moi dcliv-
cred as part OF commencement exercises proper, nor
under the direction Of the officers OF the College
Nor had II been 49, or was 1t from the nature OF the
case to be, submitted to The examination OF any one.
Mr.. Higbee was not thus invited to deliver an adj
dress. lie was invited by the Faculty to come forward
as candidate tor a degree, and in that capacity to
deliver an Grafton.

N'TENNEssEE.-The Nashville Banner Of
DGiy S0th says: sour friends may rely upon it
that we never saw the signs of a Wing victory
"a Tennessee more manifest at so early a Pc
Rod in the canvass than they are at present.
There is no doubt that a number of Democrats
will vote for Scott and Graham. They come
from the rank and file, the bone and sinew Of
tho party. The disaiected Wing column is
becoming smaller by degrees aud beautifully
Jess The masses Of our friends have an en-.
die an indomitable enthusiasm. Gen. Haskell
reports everything well from West Tennessee
One of the most distinguished Wings of East
Tennessee writes us-'From all | can hear in
TINS section, If you are doing as well in the
Wet as we are here, we shall carry Tennessee
for Scott and Graham by a triumphant MAORI
ty.' a friend from Henry county writes us
Henry and Haskell are both great favorites
with us. They will bring all to the polls
Rest assured that the Wings of Henry will do
their duty We have cheering verbal &C
counts from various other quarters. Our friends
will remember that our letters and opinions
published in the progress of the last years CALI
vass did not deceive them. We will not pre-
sent to the public any data of this sort which
we think unreliable. We now believe. from
all the signs of the times around us, that the
majority for the Wing candidates in this State
will ba decided, if not overwhelming, in the

The lst brigade under Brig. Gen. SCOTT
moved past Chippewa, and halted at Bridgewa-
ter, a mile below Chippewa, in plain view of
Niagara Falls. Gen. SCOTT learnt that the
enemy was approaching, and Immediately gave
him battle. The enemy's numerical force was
much superior to Gen. SCOTS; his line was
far extended and he showed a disposition to
flank {; in order to counlcract these views he

occasioned by a shell or cannon shot-having
lost two horses killed.

Piling il up.

SENATOR CHASE, of Ohio, a few DAYS ago
addressed a brief letter to the famous Benz, f..
BUTLER, formerly of Sandy Hill, N. Y, urging
the necessity, as a matter Of principle and de-
cent consistency, Of nominating a third candI-
date for the Presidency, and soliciting the said
Benjamin's opinion in the premises. Now
Benjamin was a Buffalo. platform Free Soiler,
in ls4s, with Senator CHASE and the likely
Van Burcns, father and son, and utterly refus-
ed to be cornforted with Cass and Butler. He
was of the Van Buren, and Adams stripe, out
and out. A good while previously he had be-
come celebrated as the evangelical Cashier Of
a rag.bank at Sandy Hill, which is remember
ed for the fragrant rascalities of Benlamins
management of it, which rascalities he, (Ben>
jamin) attributed mainly to the godlessness Of
the atmosphere in which he ~lived,-thcre being,
as he wrote to a victim, "no stated preaching
Of the gospel" in Sandy Hill. Deprived OF
gospel Influences, Benjamin lapsed into all
manner of Mammon worship, and took to FL
ing his pockets with cash, as the story goes,
chiefly because he had no chanc &C to fill his heart
with grace. His position was truly deplorable,
though he made the NEST OF it!
In the course of time gospel" influences and
"stated preaching" reached Sandy Hill, the
Bank failed, and the righteous Benjamin so =
rowfully departed for more favored regions, and
pitched his tent, like a patriarch of old, beside
the pure waters Of Wall Street, where he has
$40. z,..a .,s,L 1900. .a,... r -.
riety, tarried,-his piety constantly aggravated
by his recollection OF past deprivations of "sta-
ted preaching" and his worldly wisdom sharp
ened by worldly experience. He is now gem
orally looked upon as presenting the finest ex.
ample extant, of the combination, in one fin
ished character, of the qualities of the respec-
table Oily Cannon, with those of the "umble"
Uriah Hep, and will probably be spoken of,
hereafter, (f he should ever happen to ''turn
up" again as the person alluded to in the Apoc-
alypse, who served the devll" in a disguise
calculated and intended to lead honest people
to suppose that he had a decided repugnance TO
that employment!
Senator CHASE, doubtless remembering Ben
jamin's "early piety," and knowing, of course,
that he was a Buffalo Platform man 'on prin.
cipIe," certainly up to the 10th ballot Of the
late Democratic National Convention, innocent.
", and in a f%raternsl spirit of consultation and
advice, wrote him the letter of which we have
spoken. Now mark the sequel The n. Y.
Erening Post of Saturday the 7th inst, con-
,.-. I,.-- l--
covering five mortal columns of that large pa
per, in small type, and containing one idea and
one joke the idea is that the said Benjamin
goes for Paires and King tile joke is that he
does it as a matter of 'cOnScience !" As well
in the habit of aging, 'thc bearers can now
