BEECHER IN DEFENCE OF THE
RELEASE OF DAvIs.-Some of the
good people of Plymouth Church
brought up the jeff. Davis matter in
the prayer meeting last evening. Of
course it led to many remarks and in
many veins-sOme denunciatory of
those who bailed and those who per-
formed the bailing; others palliating,
and yet others justifying the whole
transaction. Forgiveness of enemies
was the text from which .he subject
originated. Mr.. Beecher declared yely
emphatically that, under our laws
and institutions, the keeping of
Davis prisoner, without trial
or bail, for more than six months,
was unjustifable and wrong; and
that, had his offer been necessary, he
would not, at any moment, have hest
tated 10 present himself as bail for
Davis appearance.
He drew the line of distinction
between the actual commission of
crime by the direct act and by such
position as ethOught Davis occupied
as the representative man of the
South. He also touched upon the
differenceb etween vengeance and
justice, and thought that having
crushed the rebellion, we could afford
to overlook the rebelliOus acts of its
leaders just as easily as those of the
followers. But doing this does not
sIield either leader or follower from
for murders, assassina-
ton or inhumanties, disconnected
with mere rebellion. The interest
excited throughout the discourse was
but all passed pleatantly
with the closing bymn.-NeU York

MOUNT HERMoN INSTITUTE.

Mr.. Editor During these troublous times
when ncught is heard save crops regis
tration, and Honduras it is refreshing to
pause and turn aside from the tumult OF
public life to the still, quiet paths of educa-
tional pnrsuits---to linger amid pleasant
groves and fragrant flowers, and contemplate
the expansion of beauty and the march Of
mind
This, Mr.. Editor, was my pleasant fate a
few days past, at Mt. Hsrmon, one mile north
of Clinton.
The Institute notwithstanding tho hard
times, is in quite hou-ishug condition.

several classes, the reading of Essays BY the
Juniors, also the Concert and Commencement

] feel inclined to mention the names of
some young fudies who wero particularly
charming not only on account Of their gchol-
ar.like attachments aud musical proficiency,
but also on account of their graceful and
dizrfied bearing and sweet amiable faces.
A public tribute to those gentle virtues that
ALWAYS seek the shade of retirement, may
not be appropriate, yet | do assure those
young ladies tina, their names are well known
aud their sweet images arc enshrined in many
hearts, so that often, very often in the circle
Of flowing friends and admiring strangers will
they receive the NEED of well deserved praise
Mr.. Rice, the worthy Principal, and his
efficient corps Of teachers, deserve the thanks
of their patrons and the public generally for
their labcrs to promote the best interests of
the country, BY the careful and thorough
training of the young in the paths of knosl-
edge and g. iuess.
May Mt. Hermon continue to flourish, and
its teachers enjoy the fruits of their ardent
iabors in the cause Of Education.

Thus far We have come. We
would gladly shut the box, turn our
back to the past, and open the vol
ume Of the future. But what is to
come f! If the progress goes on, its
tendency can only be reckoned by
recourse to its astonishing history
during the past two years. We are
rushing to something. The time must
SOON come when the gigantic selfish
ness Of leaders may give way, as a
criterion of tendency, to the hideouS
madness of followers. Already the
legislature Of revolution has viz
tually possessed itself of the poten-
tial substance of the legislature of
the Union under the Constitution,
preserving all its forms. In its
former character it established a
tacit relation with Subordinates of
the Executive Of the United States,
