all the public houses were full, and
on inquiry we found that this was the
Parke County Fourth of July, held
a little before the time, to be sure
but who cared for that-it was more
convenient for both speakers and
people. 1t was the anniversary of
the battle of Kenesaw Mountain. 1t
was time for the contest between the
Union and Copperhead parties to be-
gin. 1t was time that the Boys in
Blue, with their friends from the, East,
West, North and South should come up
to hear one of their bravest leaders,
General Kimball, speak forth the
words of truth and soberness. Some
say there were present three, some five,
some six, thousand-I say there was
pasture full. General Kimball was
introduced to the audience by Colonel
Hallowell-a young man who went
through the war like true soldier
with very appropriate speech. After
a touching reply to Hallowell, the
General went on to delineate the
character of the two parties,
One being Tin plain English) the
Union party, and the other the rebel
party-following up lie Morton style of
calling things by their right name
for the space of one and half hours.
He held his audience as far as they
could hear a word he said, spell
bound. You may rely upon General
Kimball as being the right man in the
right place.
Col, r. w. Thompson then took
the stand, and in his clear, argumen-
tative style, which cannot be described
or appreciated without hearing, held
his audience two hours more. Then
came the dinner
After dinner Col. John Bayard, of
Terre Haute, John G. Crane, James
johnson and others, made short i'm
promptu speeches, all telling for the
Union cause. After which a nice
green sward was cleared off and the
young folks INDUCED in a social
dance until, as all thought, the day
had been far spent and well spent,
when they adjourned, feeling that
the Unicn must and will be pre-
served w.

GREENoAsTLE, june rs, 1866.

GREENOASTLE, June 20, 1000
We are in the midst of commence
mentexercises. 1t is said the need of
new College Chapel was demonstra-
ted on Sunday, when at least FIVE
hundred people who came to hear DR..
Bowman's Baccalaureate, failed to
get into the house. The lecture of
Rev. E. House in the afternoon, and
the performance of the Theosophian
Society at night, are highly praised.
Last night was given the annual exhi-
bition of the Pathological society. |
notice that nearly all the perform
ers wore pins, badges of member
ship in the Greek society. These Sc
cret organizations have become quite
numerous at Asbury since our time
and as they work through their organ
izations, the contest for society hon
ors becomes quite spirited between
the different chapters. The Betas
seemed ahead last night.
| notice among the performers two of
the Evansville boys-Heber Ingle,
who appears as an essayist, and Fred.
G. Igieheart, as debater. am glad
to say that their performances rank
among the best of the evening.
A large number Of visitors were
present. Some of the alumni, like
the building of their Alma Mater,
show signs of age. Many ministers
from the four annual conferences of
the State are present.
notice that what used to be known
as the Asbuay tone" has disappeared
from among the boys. The style of
rendering performances has become
very deliberate and unimpassioned, al
most too much so, it seems, when we
remember that years diminish rather
than increase, the animation of speak
ers.
| note circumstance connected
with the class of 50 that is some
what unusual. In a class of twenty
three, of nineteen who were unmar-
ried on their examination day, Ten
still remain on the list of bachelors,
What other class can show such
record? ).
The Evansville journal. [volume] (Evansville, Ind.) 1866-1870, 1866-06-30

written in an easy flowing style, with
words well chosen, and sentences well
pointed. This essay commended itself
to all who read it, the subject being
. the social position of women IN
America" which the young lady
treated in sensibly, natural and wo-
manly way, showing how foolish the
inordinate and vain attempt to foster
spirit for woman's rights, which
was not congenial to her nor calculated
to promote her influence or elevate her
condition. Gliding easily into the
concluding portion which was the
voledictory, she babe farewell to Bish-
OPP, instructors, schoolmasters, and
class, and many eyes were dimmed,
touched by the evident feeling of the
reader and the tremor of the gentle
tones bidding a long farewell. This
commencement was, without max
ing any invidious comparison, the
best that ever has been held in
the schools. There was a dignity,
a decorum and beauty which COM
mended themselves to the taste of all,
and when the class knelt to receive
tAlE sD4CcSAuS VI lAEll dLuCl III OOu,
the Bishop, hearts stood still, and
eyes filed, as they beheld those white
robed forms in humble position and
the man of God calling for God, the
Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost,
to bless, preserve and keep them, both
in this life and that which is to
come.
We cannot but express our graft
fcation and with pleasure record it,
with the hope that the hall may be
filled and many go out from its walls
to extend the fame and good report of
the Institution.
The principle of the school is GER
tainly a true one, namely, that in
struction is sanctifed by the true
spirit of the gospel, knowledge of the
effects and results of the Christian
system upon men, times and manners,
and thorough furnishing of all the
reasons whereby one is made to know
oneself as a child of God, and
worker for eternity.

ROCKVILLE, June 81, 1866.
Editors Journal:
l drop you a few items. Use them
as you wish
After days ride on the railroad,
with all the kindness that can be
given, and Vincennes Crossing din
ner thrown in, one does not feel very
bright, for dust is our portion all the
way through. We will not complain,
however, for with home-friends
around us, and obliging officers on
board the train, we can put up with
some little inconvenience and still
be happy.
Took lodging last night with our
genial friend, J. H. Cochran, who
stands ready to greet those who favor
him with call, at the door, and give
them all the accommodations at his
commando good supper and a good
nights sleep,
We started out at 3 o'clock to see
the surrounding country. Going
east, we find the country rather
billy; indeed, in some parts, really
romantic, with here a high bluff,
there the gentle slope, and further
ON the fertile little valley with its
clear, ripping rivulet twining around
this way and that, just like the lives
of some men, ever trying to avoid the
obstacles thrown in their pathway.
These valleys are clothed with abund-
ant crops of wheat, grass, corn and
all kinds of vegetables The wheat
crop will not be large in this region,
although promising fairer yield and
finer berry than the most sanguine
anticipated two or three weeks ago.
Farmers now think they will get at
least half crop in quantity-quality
never better.
Passing northward, after journey
ing about six miles east, we find the
land more rolling, soil fertile, timber
large, indicating the depth and fer
tility of the land. From this sec
ton we form our opinion Of the yield
of the coming wheat crop, and venture
to say half crop will be fully as
much as may be looked for. If we
make half crop in yield all over the
State, with the good quality promised,
we may confidently hope that we shall
have good bread at reasonable rates,
although not at former rates.
After gratifying our curiosity as to
the country, the crops-and seeing all
we could in the little time at our
command, we returned with the i'm
preston that Parke is one of the
richest counties in our State. Her
farms and farm-houses indicate com
fort and wealth not excelled in the
West; but, strange to say, there is a
marked want of neatness and taste
I in her farmers, entirely unlocked for
| by your correspondent.
T. When we, returned to the town, the
streets were literally alive with wag-
ons, buggies and carriages, laden
with men, women and children. The
| sidewalks were full, and the public
square was full, and the hotels and

The red light of battle is dim in the West;
The carnage suspended, the warrior would

Let him slumber, o earth, like child on

Let him rest, let him sleep on the hoof-

The blue vault his cover-his pillow, the

His sentinel watches the angels of God.
Let him sleep his last sleep on the spot
Struck down by the terrible missiles of
While he fought for the banner he loved
so well.

From the storm cometh Gains that shall

From the tomb of the brave spring the
