sesopened on Friday morning at II
O'clock, under The more cheering auspi
eesaof albright sky and a charming at
mosphere. The main incident of the
days entertainment was dinner, suinp,
tnous and - recherche, to company oI
gentlemen from which the round sum oI
S95, was r. allied. During the day the
ladies were unflagingly engaged in re,
lntorcing the depleted array of viands, in
clearing the debris and preparing for the
more vigorous night attack. During
the day, also, the fancy articles received
a tasty and opportune accession from
Richmond, Virginia.
AT an early hour after dark The com.

hours the hall continued thronged with
visitors. This night witnessed a repe.
tition Of the incidents Of the night pre-.
vious, the same hustle and animation
OF movement and conversation, aud
merriment--the vendors at the tables
serving the rccuperated dishes as before,
all the various departments performing
their prescribed functions while we re.
marked that the rattle lists circulated
even more literally, and the noise re

the voice Of the auctioncer, vending cakes
and other articles.

Ex-Governor Browns Argument on the
Test Oath, gtts
We publish to-day from the Augusta
Constitutionalista part of Gov. DRowN's
argument before the U. S. Circuit Court
in the District of Georgia We will
continue it until all is reproduced. The
argument is one well worth reading.
AS q defence Of constitutional law it is
unanswerablc. 1t establishes beyond
contradiction the unconstitutonality of
the test oath. When read, it ought to
be clipped out and put into the scrap.
book
We especially urge upon our yonng
men to read it with care. They should
not think because they do not intend
studying law, that there is no advantage
in such reading. Every yonag man in
orr country ought to be educated in
constitutional law. For from it is de.
rived all the powers exercised over them
in whatever trade or profession they
follow. And our country has been
ruined as much for the want of knowl.
edge OF this kind, as from any other
cause, ii not more than any other. Elk.
tremists North and South were law
unto themselves, aud their followers
were educated in this self-made law,
and ruin, disaster and death followed in
its wake.

of the mind whence emanate all that
makes man great here, should be the
chief of all sciences. But that high 20.
sltion of it should rot be characterised
by the perplcxing mysteries thrown
around it, but by it's illumination and its
practcability to the affairs Of life. For
example, why does one man excel an.
other in the study of astronomy, or of
painting, OF music, of mathematics, Of
mechanics, even when both are subject.
ed to the same rigid training ? The
most prodigious effort to get an answer
to the inquiry from the schools will IN.
evtably be bafflcd.
Nothing can exceed the subtiltv with
which they have treated of mental phe.
nomena, and yet no labor among all the
sciences has resulted in such barren
fruits, to the laborcrs themselves,
however, but to their disciples.
Suppose man to undertake teaching
people ignorant of it the science of
agriculture with view to their practic
ing it, He goes into an elaborate ex
PLANTATION of the constituent elements of
grain and esculent roots. He tells them
that by the laws of affinity certain com
binations produce grain called corn,
which by the laws Of vegetation will,
when brought in certain relations to
earth. air, water anil heat, produce a
vigorous plant that will reproduce itself
No one will deny that his study Of The
chemistry Of plants will do him good, IN
training his mind and cnlarging his
store of knowledge. But if he leaves
his hearers just there, he will be sadly
disappointed if lie looks for successful
application on their part of his instruc.
tions.
Now this is inst where the schools
leave the mind of man in its ef.
forts to profit by their science OF its phe-
mona. They speak lcarnedly of the
elements of thought, but that grand
truth that the immatcrial of man acts alb.
solutely and exclusively through the
material, is left clear ont Of the count,
and its absence is attempted to be sup.
piled with subtle theory that, like a
ray Of light thrown into volume OF
darkness, only makes it doubly dark.
Indeed their efforts are what Sir ISAAC
NEwToN's would have been had he un.
der,aken to advance the science of as.
tronomy by investigating the nature Of
gravity instead Of its effects. So the
Schools have undertaken to explain
the nature of mind, Of spirit, and the
consequences is they have run into all
kinds of extra vagances of Idealsm and
Materiafism. The one seeing the alb.
surdity of the other. to avoid it, ran into
the opposite extreme. Phrenology goes
into neither, but steers middle course.
The Trial of Mf. Davis.
There are some indications that JET.
FERsoN DAVIS will before long be
brought to his trial on the charge of
treason. No event can engage the in.
terest of the South more than this. It.
is said that Lis chief point Of defence
will be based ON the subject Of State
Rights. and the prerogative granted
every citizen of a State to sustain the
Official action of such State.
In other words, the whole sum of the
matter is, that Mr.. DAVIS win base his
defence upon the principle that the al :
legiance OF the citizen is first to his
State, and then to the National Govern.
