THE YORKVILLE FEMALE COLLEGE
Ms,sr,. Ediors:-After your extended, fair
discriminating and complimentary notice of the
recent examination and commencement Ct York
vile Female College, it may seem supereroga,
tory to offer an appendix to your details. But
where there is so much merit involved, and &c
many claims as yet only partially recognized,
and not duly appreciated, we presume to pen ad'
ditional notes, whose design is both to confirm
your fattering comments upon the worthy lnsti
tuition, and also to give expression to some i'm
pressions of practical kind and tendency. We
heartily endorse all that you wrote and more too,
touching the late examination of the young
ladies and other appurtenances Of the literary
festival. In our judgment, any one who was
privileged to hear the several classes, conducted
through the protracted, searching, and system
attic examination, upon their respective studies,
was puzzled to know, whether most to admire
and commend the evident competency and faith
fulness of the corps of Instructors, or the many
uarkS VI luuuSliJ auo oetehei'o h"oi'', "n'SA
had conduced to the vigorous mental culture and
sound scholarship of the Pupils.
And further. ANY who heard the compost
tons of the Graduating Glass, and having an
ear for music, caught the soul-stirring melodies
and enchanting songs of the Concert (from which,
however, the M-timed pratte Of at least .fue hun
dred garrulous beantytnspired or love struck
maidens and gallants, detracted much) could not
hesitate to say that the writing talent of the
class would have done honor to older heads, ma
turer minds, and even braver hearts; and that
the musical department, under the superinten-
dence of Professor Muller and Miss Collins, was
in keeping with the high aims and successful
achievements of the College.
In touching the other items upon the pro-
gramme of the Commencement exercises, we
have only space to mention the Address, so kind
ly furnished By the Lyceum, and at the hands Of
Mr. Erwin, and which was well conceived and
well-written essay upon 1.-THE Greatness of the
South )" and the brilliant, comprehensive, poi-
ished and eloquently delivered Anniversary Ora
ton, by Mr.. Richardson.

hundred students appearing on the College Cat
alogue, not only exhibits it as in an emirently

paT Much has been said of the Eastern Escu-
lapius labors for the sick; not one half has yet
been told of the indomitable perseverance of this
singular man. Imbued with the conviction that
Scrofuls is the parent of disease, he has been
years engaged in searching the boundaries of
the earth, for its antidote. With vast labor has
he canvassed the products of sea and land,

that combination of remedials which expurges
this human rot and corruption from the system.

We feel that we have done entire injustice Il
both the argument and the eloquence Of tn
gifted young speaker. Some of the hearers
doubtless, differ with him; but they cannot den.
either his fairness or his ability. The clearnes
of his views, the systematic arrangement of hi
argument, the richness and copiousness of hi
illustrations, the finished beauty of his period
and b is graceful mien and utterance, all wer
admirable. We do not speak thus merely il

think our town would suffer in comparison with

-:O:-
ne Human--A Fable.
/.
A cry arose on the midnight air,
And my soul was chill with dread;
Twas shriek-a prayer
A scream.-Despair
Alone could ever
So crisp the air
With its widest wall for the dead.
The midnight air stood still the while,
And my heart, so startled, was still
And up from the dark
Invisible sod
Went the cry of that spirit
The lone and the lost one
Up quivering to God.
Twas over, that deed
That the shuddering night
In its noon alone
Could cover from sight;
And the soul undone
Sank lonely to shun
Its God and the light
OF the worldly sun,
And its worldly smile,
With wall as wild
As maniac's scream
That wiu haunt the dream
Of wondering child.
".
And silence drank in
The lonely cry
That pierced the dark
And shuddering sky.
V.
And my soul in wonder,
Bewildered and wild
And stunned with the pain,
Like the wondering child,
Went down to that soul
On the sod again.
vi.
There was no voice
To answer its quest
Or to utter the pain
OF q doom unblest-
OF eternal unrest
OF the guilty soul
Whose troubled hope is o'er;
To be pure again
And free from stain
No moreno more.
VII.
The bewi!dering prayer
Of n mad despair
But whispers where
Its woe lies stark;
And the guilt-s:ained sod
Is the witness to God
Of the deed of the soul that is dark.
The agonized prayer
Of that maddened Despair
Up to the Infinite rolled;
Then the cry was stilled
And the night-air chilled
With sense of i'll
That crushed the will,
But-he end is not told

lutions adopted byit, and-ifyou will permit me
to say it-in the character Of the nominees, to
Justify such an apprehension. Instead Of look
ling to the breaking up of the Confederacy OBJ
serve that one of the resolutions seems to con-
template the extending of it-lengthening its
cords and extending its boundaries. observe
that another of these resolutions, instead of at
tempting to break up the Union, seems to pledge
the power of great organization to unite by all
constitutional means its distant parts more closely
by iron bands, and hope this trust will be speedily
and grandly realized. see nothing sectional in
the position of the delegations there. Delegates
from almost all the States of this Union dele
gates particularly from our gallantyoung sisters,
California and Oregon, upon the Pacific slope"
4 \ at is true that one of
the resolutions contempates the equality Of the
States in all the common Territories of the Union
and in all other respects under our. common Con-
stitution But who 30 blind as not to know that
this doctrine of the equality of the States has
been the sheet anchor of our peace and safety,
while upon the departures from that doctrine
alone have been brought about all the civil dis
orders. No man is disunionist who wants to
preserve the Union upon the principles of the
Constitution and the equality of the States
Our peace has never been disturbed, except
when the principles embodied in these resolutions
have been departed from"
| Gen. Lane says:
81 cannot forbear expressing my gratitude and
my pride for having been placed by the action Of
the National Democratic party upon that ticket
with the noble, the gifted, the gallant young
Kentuckian. He is one whom have known for
years; one whom I knew in Mexico; whom !
have known in the councils of your nation; and
whom knew when We were struggling for the
honor of our country upon foreign soil. He is
statesman who has borne himself nobly and
gnllantly in every position in which he has been
placed. Allow me to say, my friends, that in
Johr C. Breckenridge you have the very soul Of
chivalry you have the very soul Of truth, o.
integrity, and of patriotism and man who il
devoted to the service of his country. Then, my
friends is it not proud thing to be associated
on the ticket with such standard bearer ?
That ticket represents the National Democracy
of this country, and contends for the constitu
tional rights of the whole country. We have
gone on prospering and to prosper, as has ne
other country on the face of the earth, under
Constitution handed down to US by our fathers
and which is sacred to every portion of tht
