ERSKINE COLLEGE.

Tie Commencement Exercises Of this
College came off in fine style on Wcdnes-
day tho 18th inst, and was attended by the
largest cohcourse of people we have ever
seen there upon II similar occasion. Ten
addresses were delivered by the young men
of the graduating class, all of whom ac-
quilted themselves handsomely. Decidedly
the best Of these speeches, however, was
that of j. II. PEOPLES, Of N. c., the Vale
iictory; it was chastc, appropriate, and ex-
ceedingly touching, and impressed all who
heard it with his merited tribute to those
who had watched over and guided himself
and comrades in their college career.
The closing speech of the day was deliv-
cred by the Hon. JAS. L. PEriGRu, which
we could not hear from the position I'VE oc-
cupicd; We have heard it, however, spoken
of in the highest terms of commcndalion,
and have no doubt it was worthy tile man
and the occasion.
The address delivered before the Alumni
Association, by the Rev. A. II. LESTER, was
decidedly an able effort, and marks him
out rs one Of Erskinc's most gifted sons
AS the two last mentioned addresses will
he published, we deem any further remarks
in relation to them unnecessary.
We are gratified to learn that this Col
legc is in more flourishing condition now
than it has ever been; long may it continue
to flourish and send forth its healthful in
fluences upon society.

New ORLEANS, August Is.

Accounts from Last Island verify the sad
story of yesterday. 1t is positively ascer-
tanned that los persons are lost. 1t is
feared that Grand Caillou Island, another
watering place, has shared the same fate.
Corn, cotton and sugar are intellectually in
jured. The Texas steamers Nautilus and
Perseverance are several days due. The
steamship Texas has gone in search of
them.
The storm extended far up tho river as
far as heard from. At the Government
Hospital, Baton Rouge, fourteen inches of
water fell on Sunday evening. The wealth
cr is clear this morning.

prove his prospects, where, till now, they
have been gloomy. 1t cannot be supposed
that, in contest between the Democratic
party and Black Rcpublicanisnl, the North
ern conservatives will hesitate in their
choice.
On the other hand, it is stated that Mr..
draw him in favor of Fremont. A strange
specimen of party faith, when Mr.. Fillmoro
has declared that lie "rcgarded the success
of Fremont rs the dissolution of the Un-
ion" But it docs not appear improbable,
when wo reflect that Mr.. Haven, member
If the House from New York, formerly the
law partner, and now the confidential po-
litical adviser of Mr.. Fillmore, voted with
the Black Republicans i'll their recent Alb
clifton amendments to the Appropriation
bills. Tho withdrawal of Fillmore will,
therefore, give to Buchanan the conserva-
tive, and to Fremont the Freesoil, portion
of his party. 1t will narrow the contest
down to single issue, between the Demo-
cratic party and Black RcpubIicanism. 1t
will present to the North the simple oucs-
tion-wllethcr the South is her equal in
this Confederacy or not. 1t will league all
the elements of lawlessness, fanaticism, and
sectional ambition, against the consttu-
tional rights of the South. And, finally,
upon the issue of mo more slave States"
it will decide whether there is, at the North,
party true to the South, and capable of
protecting her against the aggressions of
Abolition whether, in word, the South
can, consistently will, her existence as IL free
people, continue in the Union. We agree
with the New York Tribune, that the sooner
this issue is tried and determined, the bet
ter for all parties.

MIR. FILLMORE AND his PROSPECTS.

1t seems to be the opinion Of the know
ing ones now, that Mr.. FILLMORE will not
be able to procure the vote of single
Southern State. Almost every paper that
reaches us, contains accounts of the falling
off of friends and admirers who were once
loud in lis praise, and whilst. some have
gone over to the Black Republican party
and candidate, many staunch Wings have
declared themselves for BUCHANAN. The
probability now is, that the contest will be
alone between Buc4ASAS and FREMosr,
and i'll such an event, the election of the
former we think will be certain.
