to, that Experience is the best teacher anu

into four or five parts is discarded and the

1t is denied that photography, ortheopy or
etymology constitute any parts of Grammar as
q science or an art.
Part 1st is devoted to the different 'parts Of
Speech" and these arc set down TO be ten, as
follows: Noun, Prononn, Descriptive, Deiini-
tive, Verb, Participlc, Adverb, Relative, Con-
~junctire and Exclamation" The old "Adjcc-
tive is called a descriptive" and Articles,
Adjcctivcs, Pronouns, and the posseSsisc caSe Of
Nouns and Pronouns are all classed rs dcfni-

express or imply action, and agree with their
subjects in number and person." There is u
SQUAD criticism upon the Proposition, and a
killing one on the Ncutcr Gender.
We have neither time nor space to do this
strikingly original aud suggestive book justice.
4! complete analysis would require q treatise on

and Prof. Morris has at the least the merit Of
having made progress in the philosophy Of his

We heartily commend the book to teachers

The Speech of .Ir. c. G.. McElminSef,
srrrr.r COMMISSIONERS FROM 9. c.

SPECIAL SONN iSSlONl.lh ~ '
Yesterday was 4 dag memorable in the
history Of Virginia. The Commissions from
the State Of South Carolina to the State OF
Virginia addressed both Houses Of the LcGis-
lature in one Of the ablest speeches ever de-
livcred in the House Of Delegates.
At an carly hour the crowd began 10 Ill the
galleries and rotunda, and long before the
hour of meeting q vast crowd Of ladies had
filed the galleries specially reserved for their
accommodation and hundreds were turned away
unable 10 End room in the crowded galleries
The rotunda Of the Capitol was filled with an
eager crowd, who pressed forward to hear the
distinguished gentleman. The Hall OF the
House Of Delegates was filled to its utmost ca
pacity. The Senate, the Judges Of the three
Courts Of Appeals, the Governor and Lieut.
Governor Of the State, the Hon. P. Y. Daniel,
of the Supreme Court of the United States,
ard invited persons, filled all the available space
until there was scarcely a standing place unoc
cupied in the Hall.
The Commissioner, escorted by two military
compsnics-F, and the Grays-and preceded
br the Armory Band, reached the Hall pre-
cisrly at -! o'clock, and attended BY the Joint
Committee oi both Houses. The Commissioner
entered the Hall on the arm Of Senator Bcalc,
who introduced him to the Speaker Of the
House. Mr.. Speaker. Crutchtield, on behalf
Of the iIoasc oc Delegates, welcomed tho dis
tinsuisAcl representative Of South Carolina,
WHO Immediately proceeded to address the two
Houses in one Of the ablcst speeches to which
wc have ever listened. We shall not attempt
to follow the track Of luminous argument with
which Mr.. Mcmmingcr demonstrated the exist
ins necessity for q Conference of the Southern
States.
We shall, as soon "a the speech can De writ
ten out, publish il, and for it we bespeak an
attentive perusal.
As to the immediate object Of the mission
and speech, that Of u Conference between the
Southern States, We cannot see how or VIII
any man should oppose it We do not believe
j; will be opposed by any man who is not will
in, to fill down before tie Union with Seward
as its chief. The people Of Virginia have al-
ready expressed, b; pablo meetings, their de-
termination no, to submit to the election of q
Back Republican, and it we'll becomes the
Legislature TO acccde to this Conference, and
enable the Southern States, by an interchange
Of views, TO decide upon the course of action
best and proper Cor their adoption. We, there
fore, mos, earnestly hope the proposition OF
South Carolina vii! be especially acceded to, and
tn. Commissioners appointed. We believe it
will DC the best means Of producing n favoTa-
be effect upon the excited public mind, Of OBJ
tanning justice FOR the South, and Of securing
the equality and union Of the States.
