advantages therein offered TO the public: For sev-
cral years we have been familiar with their work
ings, and can confidently recommend the Art As
sociatin to al lovers and admirers of the beautiful

labor, by an eminent engraver. The picture can
be seen by calling on Maj BoRsTEL. of this place,

The Anderson military and Classical Academy.

The Anderson Military ana CIa5slcal Acaoe"y'
The students of this popular institution de-
claimed before large audience of ladies and gen.
tlemen in the Court House, on Friday evening
last. Their subjects were well chosen, adapted to
the occasion, and few of them original and ap-
propriate to the times The young gentlemen are
evidently progressing with rapid strides in the art
of elocution.
At the close of the regular programme of speech
es by the students, ]. C. c. FEATHERsToN, Esq,
who had been invited to address the "Association
of Cadets" was introduced to the audience. Mr.
F. then proceeded to deliver an eloquent chaste
and elaborate address suitable to the occasion, and
which met warm commendntion from all quarters.
We congratulate our former cOnrere upon this sue
cessful effort.
When Mr.. F. concluded his address, repeated
calls were made for Capt. ADAMS and MIR. pREss-
LEY the associate teachers of the Academy. They
both responded in fitting language, and offered sea-
sonable advice and counsel to those who had been
under their discipline and instruction during the
past year. The remarks of Mr.. p. were indeed
feeling and impressive, and especially so when he
brcathed touching farewell to the students, his
connection with the institution having ceased with
the days exercises.
Tho military corps, We forgot to say, paradcd in
the afternoon, Capt. ADAMS commanding. They
performed various difficult cvolutions from liar-
dec $ tactics. and were greatly admired by the nu'
n,crous bright faces which surrounded the square
upon their appearance. Success to the gallant

The Mass Meeting.

Notwithstanding the incemcnt weather, there
was at least three or four hundred staunch, reliable
and intelligent citizens of the District assembled in
the Court House on Monday last, in response to
the call made through our columns last week.
Speeches were. delivered by Messrs. SIMPSON,
WILKES, MAuLDIy, OHR, REED and WHITTIER, can
didates for the Convention, in the order named
Great enthusiasm and unanimity prevailed, and
the resistance feeling distinct and decided
The people Aockcd in from all sides of the District
and though the day was exceedingly cold anu dis
agreeable, We found them generally warm for Sc
ccssion, prompt and forever. Our friends in the
middle and lower sections oftlc State may rest as
surcd that this region is overwhelmingly for rcsis
tance and that by South Carolina taking the lead
in forming Southern Confcdcracy, and severing
Mt once her ties with this Union. This is no bonn
bust nor vain calculation, but deliberate convic-
ton on our mind after close observation The
people have been infornc,l-thcy are ripe for the
work. and this day they will decide, with the ut
most good feeling and strong determination, that
they never will submit to sectional, abolition rule.

Col. BiIbo.

This distinguished citizen of Tennessee who was
in Anderson few weeks since, made stirring and
patriotic speech in Columbia on last Thursday
evening The Hall of the House of Representatives
was granted for the purpose and was filled to
overaowing with ladies and gentlemen who desired
to hear the eloquent Tenncsscan. We wish that
his State was as fully up to the mark Of resistance
as the gentleman himself. 1t would secede from
this Union in the least possible rime.
