commencement at Yale oollege.

This week has been a busy one at Yale.
The arrival OF a new class, attended with the
necessary examinations, and the commence
ment exercises, together with the departure OF
the graduating class, produced a scene OF ac'
tivity only witnessed on such anniversary oc-
casions The commencement exercises have
drawn together a large assembly OF alumni
and visitors, yet not so large number as usu-
al. There seems to be decided lack of
southern alumni present this year-probably
owing to their reluctance to look "Alma Ma
ter" in the face, after such objectionable
apostacy from her direct teachings. Though
the number present is less than usual, there
are registered many distinguished names
among the visitors.
The exercises of the week have been unu-
sualy interesting. The Baccalaureate Ser
mon, by Rev. G. P. Fisher, Livingston Pro
fessor of Divinity, on Sunday afternoon, be-
gan the programme. The subject OF his dis
course was taken from First Corinthians, 16, 3:
"Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you
like men, be strong" Tuesday evening, the
Concio ad Clerum was pronounced by Rev
MatsonsM. Smith OF Bridgewater Subject

Wednesday morning occurred the annua
meeting of the alumni. Alumni Hall was
never decorated so appropriately, as it seems
for the reception of the returning alumni. One
| all sides of the room were suspended the Goa
of arms of each state, underneath which were
hung small and beautiful flags bearing thu
stars and stripes. On those beneath the seed
ed states the stars were lowered. From tho
ceiling above and at the sides were hung thu
red, white, and blue. These, together Will
the portraits of those men who have honoret
old Yale with gifts or long services, literally
covered the walls of the room.
The meeting was addressed by Prof
Dwight, VIM. NJ. Evarts Esq, of New York
Prot. Porter, Prof. Knight, Or. Emerson o.

others. Mr.. Dwight paid an eloquent tribute
to the memory of his predecessor, the late

SATURDAY. july "a, 1861.

A Baltimore secessionist reports that the
rebel leaders mediate an immediate attack on
our lines above Washington, with view TO
marching straight on Baltimore. He adds TO
his report that there are in Baltimore lI,OO0
men secretly organized and ready to rise IN
aid of this movement This report shows
plainly enough what the conspirators desire 10
do, and what the Baltimore portion OF them
have planned to do but not what they can do.
Such march on Baltimore is what the traitors
in that city have longed for ever since the war
began and it is what they have secretly pre-
pared for. Marshal Kane, with his brigader
generals commission in his pocket, could
make some very interesting revelations.
If the rebels could take and hold Baltimore
they would be sure of Washington, but, TO
get there, they must do something more than
fight behind batteries. Washington is defend
ed on the Potomac side by line Of admirable
entertainments, in and around which are not
less than $4,000 men, who are capable of hold
ing their position against any force that can
be brought against them, although some of

for a fight with the Manassas junction
batteries as they were week ago. Many
of them, however, are quite fresh, and all of
them are in condition to engage in repelling
an attack 1t would be new military expe-
rience for Beauregard, should he come out of
his entertainments and away from his masked
batteries, and undertake a fight in the open
field, or against the fortified positions on the
Potomac
Beauregard has done some excellent engin.
eering at Manassas He has always been con-
sidered competent in this department of mill
tary science. But there is nothing in his re-
cord TO show that he can be great as military
leader. Ii his 10000 men had been out in the
open field, on that Sunday, they would have
be EN- beaten and scattered in all directions.
Such is the belief of all who witnessed the
battle. Should he attempt to break our lines
above Washington and march to Baltimore,
something more than his skill at engineering
would be necessary to save him from an over
whelming defeat. We shall presently see what
he attempts.

WASHINGTON, July 25.-Prof. Lowe had an
interesting aronautic voyage on the Virginia
side, yesterday morning. His balloon was
towed across the river to Arlington Heights,
aud he proceeded with it towards the rebel
lines, landing about two miles outside of our
lines, whence he returned safely. The balloon
was inflated on Sunday last, and attended by
guard Of twenty of Col. Small's Pennsylvania
regiment. He started for Centervie to make
an observation at that point meeting the fugi-
tives, waited at point about fourteen miles
from the city, and returned the next morning
During his trip yesterday he observed large
body OF rebels at Fairfax Court House. He
counted two hundred Of their tents in a field
and there were number of others in the ad-
joining wood. a number of cavalry were
about mile this side of the Court House.

New and startling incidents of war are daily
coming to light During one of the charges
OF the Fire ZOuave upon the Mississippi Rifles
Fire Zouave and Mi5sssipian came in con.
tact both with discharged rifles. Each drew
his revolver. "Blaze away, Mississippi; I'll
take the last shot" said the Fire Zouave The
Mississipian did blaze away and missed, when
the Fire Zouaye fired the shot, going through
the heart of the Mlssissipian, killing him IN

Mrs Katy Bronwell, daughter of the first
Rhode Island regiment, accompanied the regi.
ment to Bull Run. She was fired at a good
many times, but escaped injury. One man, in
his determination to kill her, pursued her for
some distance, when she turned and shot him
dead, and, fleeing to the woods, escaped. Her
husband is also safe.
A member of the seventy-first regiment of
New York states that in one of the charges of
that regiment Upon IL rebel battery, he met at
the point OF the bayonet member of one of
the Virginia regiments, with whom he had
formed intimate relations OF friendship while
the rebel soldier was at college in New York
Each Instantly recognized the other, and in.
stead OF carrying out the work OF DEATH they
clasped hands with the exclamation, "God bless

FROM THE RELAY HOUSE.

Posi- NEAR RELAY HOUSE MD. July %, 1861
This has been an eventual day with the
sixth regiment. Col, Jones and other COM
manders Of the regiment visited Baltimore. to-
day, for the purpose Of obtaining our dis
charge, or gaining some information as to the
wishes of government The result was that
Major Gen. Banks visited us this afternoon,
and was received with proper military honors'
The regimcnt having formed square, the gen.
eral entered, and, mounting chair, made to
us a most eloquent and patriotic speech. 1t
was one of his best efforts, and l need say
nothing more OF it to Massachusetts, men.
He said by our conduct in responding to the
call OF the government, our promptness III
reaching the threatened capital, the hardshipS
and deprivations we had suffered through the
campaign, had immortalized our regiment, and
gained as name second to no other III the
field. Our time of service had now expired,
and he came to say, as communicate OF The de-
partment of Annapolis, that he could no longer
hold us in the service without our consent.
He came to say that now again the capital was
in imminent danger, the foes OF our country
were threatening it with large, and, for the
moment, victorious army He held the key
of the Capitol. He had no regiment he could
put in our position, and must wait for other
troops to arrive. He appealed to us, as sons
of Massachusetts, once more to stand by the
flag and defend the country We should be
Cd in to-, 10, on
sooner, and he appealed to our patriotism in be.
half ofthe country we loved, in the name of the
now aroused and rising masses at home, not
to leave position which is necessary To hold,
and which to leave would result in disaster to
the government
Many times during his speech the soldiers
eyes were filled with tears, and when he closed
the boys gave some tremendous cheers, and
when the question was put "will the sixth reg
iment continue in the service of the country,
until we can be relieved % unanimous and
hearty eyes" testified TO the patriotism OF the
regiment. Gen. Banks then told us that our
action cheered his heart, and he hoped he al
ways might hear good account of the sixth
Massachusetts regiment, and he believed that
wherever we went on our return home, we
would be received with welcome arms by pat
riotic thousands. Some of the regiment who
are on the sick list, or disabled, will probably
be discharged the rest will remain until we
can be relieved. Probably other three months
regiments in this department will follow our
example. Truly yours, j. w.D.

The Army Worms.

These pests of agricultural operations have
not yet intermitted their destructive work in
this vicinity, and their ravages are really ca
laniitous. We visited TO day the splendid
grounds around tire borders of Dr. Duriee's
farm, where we encountered them at almost
every step. Four acres OF the most promising
oats were so thoroughly overrun by the i'll
sects that the doctor caused the field to be
moved. On examining the dry straw, the
spndles, grain, and leaves were consumed
from the stock. The art Of threshng, howev-
er perfect the process, could not approach the
work OF these noiseess insects i'll thorough
ness. BY bringing all his labor force to bear
upon thcm and through dint OF almost sleep
less vigilance, lie has succeeded i'll keeping
them from his corn fields. In a lane which
separates the oat and corn field, two trenches
were plowed and filed with shavings and other
light fuel. A fire was kept burning during the
day i'll the trenches the insects started In
Dattalions for the corn field, going through the
crevices OF the stone wall which bounds the
field, but their course was arrested by the hre;
they however plunged into the trenches, and
some were burned, but others were only folled

and loose cal til which gave away while they
attempted to crawl up, precipltatlng them
back again. The doctor has made number
of experiments with them. Last Sunday he
put twenty-five large ones in a glass jar, draw
ing over the entrance Il piece OF lawn, which
admitted air To-day there were but nine
lett, the other thirteen having been devoured
| by the nine, with the exception OF the heads,
which were lying upon the bottom OF the jar,
and we saw them in the voracious act OF
munrhing one another, the smaller and weak
err succunbng first. Another jar was partial
ly filled with corn stalks, and a number OF the
insects placed in it. The stalks were COM
| pletely riddled.

their authors. Yet without particuarizing,
which could be done to the decided credit of
certain ones, the speaking as whole was eX-

occasion was furnished by Noll's orchestral
band, from New York.
The class OF 1861, now graduated, entered
college Just as the financial crisis Of 1857
burst upon the country and their numbers
thereby materially reduced at first, were less
usual at graduation. The class go forth only
ninety-six strong. Yet, though fewer in mum
bers, it ranks high, both in scholarly and liter

applying and admitted this week is ninety,
which indicates class of full one hundred

ually apply at the beginning of college year as
at its close. j. S. L.
