exceedingly fine and overwhelming In four

The, speaker during the delivery of his
sermon said some truths in reference to the
future Of the Republic. He evidently did
not believe with the morning speaker that /

future of the countryis not miserable, but

The Republican cause though young in
Chapel Hill, is vigorous and energetic! The
two prominent leaders, Messrs Pool and
Guthrie, are absolutely ostracised and tabooed /
because of their unswervng devotion to 4
great and worthy principle Mr.. Guthrie is
particularly assaied and slandered by the
cowardly poltroons whose fine breeding and
cllivalry lead them to insult unprotected
ladies, who, inspired by Divine philanthro-
| py, cheerfully engage in teaching and eleva-
| ting the despised and trampled negro. '1r
I The Friends Society of Philadelphia have
| fine and fiourishing school in this town..
Mrs. G. B. Loveland, like all of our devoted
and selfsacrificing teachers, does notwalk in
"golden slippers" and she receives her full
share OF that senseless and rude opposition
4 to which the pioneers in every good cause
are exposed In one of tile churchesI learn
ed she was treated with gross insult by some
members of the snuff dipping sisterooa.-
Professor Phillips and few Others deserve
great credit for their valuable counsels and
| sympathy to the Freedmen. Mrs. Lovcland
is worthy of applause for the astonishing in
trepidity and perseverance with which she
successfully manages so large school, num-
bering as it does one hundred and fifty daily
scholars. In after years, when the names of
these foolish, fippant and senseless opposers
of yankee teachers shall be rotting in their
graves, the heroic hbors of our Northern Ia
dies shall be spoken of with honor, with
pride, and with devotion. 'WOLCOTT. 81

petitors of the Freshman class on Tues

Messrs. Britton, Gibson and Patterson were
the most distinguished On Wednesday
night declamations were delivered by the
competitors of the Sophomore class, and
Quilted themselves most satisfactorily. Hon.
Thomas HI. Seymour, of Connecticut, on the
morning of the same day, delivered the an
nual address before the two Literary Socie-
ties of the University. The subject of his
discourse being the various forms of govern

the eminent positions he has filed both at

| On the evening of the same day, Rev. r.
Moran pronounced the sermon before the
graduating class Discussing, as lie did, the
startling truths of modern science his ser
mon was hardly one after the old buccalau-
reate style ;abut his effort, we hope, will be
productive of much good. His text is found
in Eph. 1st chap. 10th YER" That in the
dispensation of the fullness, of times he
might gather together in one all things in
Christ, both which are in Heaven, and which
are in earth save IN himselfn 1t must have
been gratifying to the reverend gentleman to
have had the opportunity of giving vent to
his metaphysical, geological and general
scientific ideas. probably for the first time
before such large and appreciative audience.
Mr. Moran is ahead of the age, and,s we
think, he should give some of his ideas in
