College Hill Female Seminary.

With no ordinary pleasure did | comply
with the kind invitation extended me, by
Prof Wm. F. Paine, The popular principal Of
this fourishing Institution of learning, TO at
tend the examination and concert ON the 25th
and 2Gth ult. The exercises commenced
early each day, and continued till about five
o'clock in the evening. The classes were all
closely examined, not only by the teacher,
but by the patrons, which proved clearly that
the pupils were not fixed up for the ocea-
sion,' as is too often the case in schools
Classes in Latin, Greek, French, History,
Rhetoric, Algebra, and other branches, were
examined almost entirely by teachers from
other schools, and passed rigid, yet unexcep-
tional examinations. The hall was crowded
with visitors each day. The exercises closed
with grand concert at night, given by the
young ladies of the Seminary, under the SUI
peryision of Mrs. Paine, who is one of the
finest performers and most successful teachers
of Music in Mississippi. Notwithstanding the
inclemency of the weather, the house was lit
orally crowded. The young ladies acquitted
Themselves in a manner that was credhable to
themselves and did ample justice to their
teacher. The most perfect order prevailed
throughout all the exercises, which was one
of the strongest indications Of universal sat
isfaction. The interest of the occasion was
greatly increased by the performance of a
beautiful dialogue, which was received by
the audience with great applause. And up
on the whole, it was considered the most sue
cessful entertainment ever given at College
Hill.
The Trustees have engaged the services of
Prot. Paine and Lady for another year, and
the writer Of this article would recommend
TO those who wish to have their daughters
well educated, and under strict and systcmat-
ic discipline, that they can find no seminary
better adapted Ear this purpose.

Your letter of to-day informing me that

National Convention of the Democratic party
which met at Charleston on the 23d day of
April last, and adiouncdto meet at Baltimore
on the sth day of June, as their candidate
for the office of Vice President" was duly
received.
Acknowledging with the liyelicst sensibili-
bility this distinguished mark Of your conf
dence and regard, it is with no ordinary feel
ings of regret that considerations, the recital
of which viii not impose upon YOU. con
strain Inc to decline the nomination so hattcr-
ingly rendered. Ny designation as a candi
date for this high position would have been
more gratifying to me if it had proceeded
from a united Dcmocracy-united both as to
principles and to men.
The distracting differences at present ex-
isting in the ranks of the Democratic party
were strikingly exempiifed both at Charles
ton and at Baltimore, and, in my humble
opinion, distinctly admonish me that should
in no way contribute to these unfortunate
divisions.
The Black Republicans have harmonious
" (at least in convention) presented their
candidate for the Presidency and Vice Pres
idency. So have the Constitutional Union
party, as it is termed. Each party is alrea-
dy engaged in the contest. In the presence
of such organizations we still unfortunately
exhibit divided camp. What a melan-
choly spectacle. 1t is calculated to cause ey-
cry Democratic citizen who cherishes the
Constitution of his country to despond if not
to despair of the durability of the Union.

glorious old party to which | have been in

only real and reliable ligament which binds

THE BALL, THURSDAY NIGHT,


Was the most pleasant Commencement Ball we
ever had the pleasure of attending. There was
a very large company in attendance. The beauty
and the gallantry, the gifted and the gay,"
from far and near, from Mississippi and from
neighboring States, were there, to give wings to
lazy hours, in Pleasures joyous train Among
the distinguished gentlemen whom we noticed
mngling with the gay throng, were His Excel
lency, Gov. PettuS, Hon. j. W. Clapp, Col Dowd,
of Aberdeen, Col Young, of Wayerly, Hon. d.
/ ". Sanders, Of Lexington, Hon. r. II. Purdom,
of Jackson, Col. Partridge, of the Vicksburg
Wig, Mr. Page, of Yallobusha, Prof StcaIns,
of the Law Department, Lieut. Philer, L. S. A.,
and many others, whom we did not know. The
list of Bcauty's daughters" who graccd the
occasion with their presence, would be a cata.
logue Of bellies. Oxford, Holly Springs and
jackson seemed to have the most numerous
delegations of lovelness; and
"There were none Of Bcauty's daughters
With magic like them"
But we saw some bright particular stars from
other places, who were honorcd in having more
satellites than Jupiter or Saturn There was
one from Canton, Miss, who moved, a very
Hebe, through the dance and amid the countless
throng. There was one from Lexington. and
another from Holmes county, who were attended
by perfect throng of gay admirers. De Soto
had the Queen of Beauties; Georgia, the very
personilication of a true woman, lovely, amiable,
talented, attracting hearts as the magnet at
tracts iron-fliugs; Tennessee was represented
by one, whom, to see is to admire and to know
is to love- Amid the bright array, was the bride
of week, whom We honored for her retiring
modesty her large and well-cultivated intellect,
her e. cat conversational powers, and whom we
admired for the sweetness of her disposition, her
graceful and unaffected demeanor, and for her
own evident true womanly love for the chosen
lord of her affections. Heaven bless her and
hers And Heaven will To name all who de-
served notice would simply be impossible.
Supper was announced about one O clock. The
table was crowded with good things, and was
very handsomely arranged, for which Mrs Clark
and Son, Of the Stewards Hall, deserve great
credit. Soon after supper the company began
to retire; and at three o'clock, the Halls were
deserted,
We will conclude with the remark, that the
Ball of Thursday night was fitting finis to the
exceedingly pleasant exercises of Commence
ment All who attended owe the managers a
debt of gratitude for their close attention. and
their untiring efforts to see that all enjoyed them
selves. For Ourself we thank them from the
bottom of our heart.

Rell and Everett in l.afa,e,.e.

On the night of Wednesday kst (Jun'
27,) pursuant TO very conspicuous notice,
which were previously posted up in grea
abundance the Oppositionists of this Count,
assembled at the Court House for the pur
pose Of ratifying the nomination of Bell and
Everett. Being more agreeably occupied
elsewhere, we were not present on the oeea
/ sion; but we learn that the meeting was re
spectacle, in point of numbers, and that by
far the largest proportion of those present
were Democrats, who were drawn there by
curiosity TO see what was to be done.
Mr. Partridge, Of the Vicksburg Fhig, who
has such deseredIy high reputation as an
editor. was the frst speaker That he did
not electrify the audience by any wonderful
display of eloquence, is, perhaps, fairly to be
inferred from the fact that we have not heard
of even one of his political friends who was
disposed to '.brag' about the speech. We
are informed that he dealt largely in round as
sertions, and that he plainly declared himself
TO be just as willing to see the Black Repub-
licans in power as Breckenridge and Lane,
whose party he characterized as being fully
as sectional as the other; while he. would be
unwilling, he said TO see the Union dissolved
for any cause or under any circumstances
II the Bell and Everett men, in and about
Nicksburg, can "stand" such sentiments as
those, theirpolitical stomachs must be strong,
indeed-far stronger, we cpine, than those of
the mass of the party in this region.
DR.. +. NJ. Green followed Mr.. Partridge,
but did not by any means tread in his foot
steps, or indorse his doctrines. Indeed, the
Doctor is said not merely TO have been in
consistent with the High Priest of Opposi-
tionism in Mississippi, but with himself
We are told that he spoke kind of politi-
cal medley, each portion of which-while it
would have been an excellent little speech,
considered by itself and abstracily-was not
only wholly Independent Of, but so liercely
and aggressively hostile to, every other por-
tion, that an irrcpressblc Kilkenny quarrel
existed between them all, and rendered it I'M
necessary that any one should reply to his
speech.
Some resolutions were passed by the meet
ing, which the papers here were requested
to publish; but, up to the time of our going
to press, we have not been furnished with a
copy of them. II would thus seem that our
Opposition friends are no more proud of their
resolutions than Of their speakers. v

"The Constitutional Union -

Such is the title of new paper, recently
issued in the city of Holly Springs. In
size, it is somewhat smaller than the INTEL
IrcExcsR; in typographical appearance, eX-
eecdingly neat in politics, belongs to the
Opposition Party; and is edited with much
ability by our esteemed friend, J. c. BARRETT,
Esq, late Of North Mt Pleasant, Miss. Mr..
BARRETT has considerable experience as a
writer. and the first number Of the Union
aives evidence that he viii be ''foeman

- Ix our last weeks paper, VIC said ::

~ IN our last weeks paper, VIC said:
"It has actually been declared, within few
weeks past. publicly from the stump, in Missis-
ipni. by a Bell and Everett candidate for the Of
flee of Elector, that the South has really no
grievances to complain of at the hands Of the
North, while the NORTH for many years had been
quietly submitting to manifold aggressions at
our hands and that five of the South would but
"bchavc ourselves" the North would afford us
no Just cause of complaint"
Since the publication of that article, We have
seen Hon. Mr. Watson, Of Holly Springs, who is
the gentleman alludedto, and he informs us that
we were entirely wrong; that he said and meant
nothing of the kind but that he did say and
maintain, that the Southwas not the only party
which might justly complain; that the North
might say as hard things of us for not enforcing
the laws in relation to the Slave trade, as we
could say of the North for nulfying the fugitive
Slave law We make the correction gladly, but
at the same time we would say, in justification
Of oursef that the majority of those who heard
Mr. Watson at Holly Springs and Charleston,
Miss, believed him to have meant what we last
week attributed to him We think Mr. Watson
must attribute the general error to his own want
of explicitncss in his statement Of what he did

which was held at the Court House in Ok,
ford, last week, to take action in reference to
the nomination Of Breckenridge and Lane
for the offices Of President and Vice Presi-
dent Of the United States. We have been
informed. however, that the meeting was a
large one, and that able and eloquent speeches,
fully indorS:ng the nominees, were made by
Gov. Pettus, Hon. J. W. Clapp, OF Marshall,
and W. F. Dowd, Esq, Of Monroe, and were
received by the meeting with unmistakablc
evidences of approval.
But il is not alone upon the evidence aiicr-
ded by that meeting that we base our opn-
ion of the popular sentiment in this County
From all that we can Ilear, from many diff
ferent sourres. we think it clear that any pro-
cct for starting Douglas ticket in Lafayette
County would meet with little favor at the
hands Of the Democracy. We are aware
that there are few members of the party
among us who preferred Mr.. Douglas to any
other candidate, and that there are many 9th
crs who, not prefcrring Mr.. Douglas, would
very contentcdIy have supported him if he
had been nominated by an undivided Demo
cratic Convention; but, still, we are thor
oughly persuaded that the great bulk Of the
party here have been strongly opposed to
Mr.. Douglas ever since he faIly developed
his ideas upon the subject of Squatter Sow
creiguty, and that they cannot now bc in
duccd to give any countenancc to what
they regar'i rs one of the most mischieyous
of all the political hercsics of the day.
And as it is here, so, we learn from on"
exchanges, it is generally, throughout the
State, SO far as heard from. There may be
certain localities, where, owing to peculiar
circumstances--sucha as the oycrshadowing
influence of particular mdiyiduals--a triiling
demonstration in favor Of Douglas will, per-
haps, be made but We scarcely imagine
that any such movement will be strong
enough to do moro than merely to control
. constablc's election. The utmost efforts of
the friends of Mr.. Douglas in this State will
barely suffice to raise an occasional ripple up
on the surface of the political waters the
mighty current will continue to flow irresisti
blv onward in favor of Breckinridge and
Lane, undisturbel by the harmless action of
our Squatter Sovereignty friends.

At meeting of the Law Students of the
University of Mississippi, on the 2sth day Of
June, 1850, at the Lecture Room in Oxford,
Gro. II. LESTER was called to the chair, and
NJ. p. GARRETT appointed Secretary.
Through committee previously appoint
cd, consisting of E. L. BELcHER, w. S. Cow
An, c. \. BRDEwELL and T. f. PIxER, the
following preamble AMI resolutions were re-
ported 10 the meeting and unanimously ad-
9Pted, viz
NWHEREAs: The members Of the Law De-
partment of the University of Mississippi ac-
knowlcdging it rs their duty to honor those
who have become worthily eminent in that
noble profession which they have chosen,
could have found, as they conceive, no more
fitting occasion for the public performance of
that duty. than that which is furnished by
the recent death of one who might not inapt-
lv have been STYLED "the father Of the
Mississippi Bar"-the Hon. Edward Turner,
who, nearly sixty years ago, commenced that
distinguished professional career, in thecouEse
of which, whether as a practicing lawyer, or
in those various high and responsible Judicial
positions in which he was placed, he uniform
" illustrated the highest virtues of the man
and the citizen. Desiring TO lay upon his
tomb the tribute Of their sincere homage and
respect, they give expression to their sen
timents in these resolutions:
RESOLVED: That in the death Of the Hon.
Edward Turner, the legal profession in this
State has sustained loss which is not less
to be deplored by its recipient members than
by the oldest veterans in its ranks-a loss
which involved not merely the extinction Of
a light which had long shone with a clear
and steadyradiance in the legalfrnamcnt, but
also, the removal from earth Of an illustrious
and living example most worthy Of emulation
bv all lawyers who would seek enduring hon
ors-of the combination Of eminent profess
ional attainments with the highest integrity
and spotless purity Of private life.
RESOLVED: That these proceedings be pub
lished in the Oxford InteLigsncer, the Ms
sissigpian, the PculdiRg Clarion, and thepa-
pers Of the State be requested to copy, and
that a copy of them be communicated to
Judge Turner's family.
