The Commencement ut the Fursa.;tn
University.

4 large and highly interesting audience as.
sembled on Furmau hill on Monday last. The
mountain maiden and the lowland nymph
commingled their charms, while the f1eecy locks
of reverend age contrasted with the clustering
curls of youth.
The Chapel of the College being not yet
completed, the ceremonies were obliged to be
celebrated in the grove in front of the building
A tasty stand had been there raised and deco.
rated, and numerous seats arranged around
About 10 O'Clock the music commenced, dis
coursed by our excellent Greenville Brass Band
This was followed by prayer, and shortly after
by several excellent speeches from students OF
the upper classes. The most of these exhibi.
ted proficiency of study, and a tone OF ora
tory rarely attained by under graduates. The
College can we'll congratulate. itself in having
such students within its walls, who, in the
commencement Of its career among our litera
ry Institutions, can so well illustrate the many
advantages which it offers.
After these gentlemen had finished, Mr.
Mitchell, graduate of the Theological depart,
ment, delivered his discourse upon Volcanic
Action" proving convincing!y that what ap-
peared at the first glance, to be such an un
mistakable curse upon man, was really bless
ing which could not possibly be dispensed with
His remarks were characterised by a strength
and dignity which would have done credit to
maturer years. The former collegiate course,
and the constant exercise which Mr. Mitchell
has had in preaching through the neighborhood,
has given him an experience beyond his age.
Prof. sFnrman then, in his usual able, yet
placid style, presented. Mr.. Mitchell with his
diploma. He prsfaced this ceremony, not as is
Usually done, in the unmeaning pedantry of a
dead language, but in the pure living Angl"
Saxon, and in such complimentary terms to
the young man that many a mamma deter
mined upon him as the character desirable in a
son.in-law. ....
The benedetion was then pronounced, and
the delighted crowd retired homeward, well
pleased with the first exhibition Of what the
Furman University can do Greenrille Nou@

RUSSIAN AMERIcA--The New York papers
state confidently that dispatches from the Rus.
sian Government arrived in the Pacific offer
ing to sell to the United States the whole OF
the Russian territory in North America, COM
pIsing the western coast of the continent, from
the Arctic Ocean to Observatory lnlet in lat.
55, on the Pacific, and extending inland as far
as long. 63 deg. This territory comprises The
best whaling stations IN the Northern Pacific,
and if annexed to the United States would give
to our whalers important advantages. Its pos
session would secure to US the whole western
coast of America, from the Arctic to the MeXl'
can boundary, with the exception OF that por.
ton belonging to Great Britain, lying between
49 degrees and 81 degrees 40 minutes, say
some three hundred and fifty miles. Russia's
motives in selling is no doubt to divest herself
of territory that she cennot defend, and which
she knows will be seized by the English cruisers
if not transferred to the United States. Indeed
it is said that as soon as it was known III Eng,
land that the purchase Of Russian America had
been suggested to this government, the Presl
dent was notified that the British feet in the
Pacific had received orders to take Sitka. These
are, as vet, but rumors--they are not, howev
er, improbable, for several reasons. 1t is known
that treaty of neutralily between the tw"
governments has been agreed upon, and it Is
said that special Russian agent will soon ar
rive in this country to negotiate the sale allu-
ded to, and to present proposition for pro.
motion and extension of the commercial rrla-
tons of the two countries.--Bulhnsore Patraot.

DAYS were 25, ,O00 bales, of which Spectators
took 2OOO, and Exporters 1000. The demand
was moderate. The Brokers Circular says

From the seat of war we learn that there
had been no further battle of importance. The
allied fleet had withdrawn from before Con.

trenched camp of 10000 men between Bucha-

According to the Baltimore American, the
product of the Oyster Trade of the city is
equal to or greater than the product of all the
wheat and corn raised in the State of Mary
land. The whole shores of the Chesapeake
Bay and its tributaries are adapted to the
growth of the oyster, and as but one year is
required for their full growth, an I, immense
profit accrues 10 those engaged in the business
"a profit which is estimated at some three
hundred TO six hundred per cent There are
$50 vessels engaged in the business, and re-
ouire nine or ten days for the trip. These
vessels, making in the aggregate 5000 trips
during the eight months in the year in which
they are engaged, give total OF 4,8OQ, 900
bushels per wear sold in the Baltimore market.
The oysters bring an average price Of so cts.
per bushel, which gives grand total of So,
400, 900 per year for oysters by the dealers in
the city. Some of the houses send by the
Baltimore and Ohio and Baltimore and Sus-
.quehanna Railroads, to say nothing of the 9th
er modes Of transportation, from eight to
twelve tons of canned oysters pc: day
The shells are carried, for manure to all parts
of Virginia and North Carolina: In the
shocking of oysters the shells win Increase
about one-fourth which would give total Of
about 6 600, 900 bushels Of shells which sell
for two cents per bushel, making a return of
$4,000 per year for the shells alone.

TO DRIVE AWAY RATS. A friend has just
informed US of plan he adopted TO get rid of
rats His premises swarmed with them. He
took small fish hook, attached to it fine
wire, and suspended on it piece of cheese,
letting it hang about foot from the ground.
One ofthe rats leaped at it and was hooked !;
and set up such horrible squeal, noise and
rattle that all the rest forsook him and fled.

days afterwards his neighbor declared that he
was visited with plague worse than those
of Egypt-that the rats would surely eat him
