the most convincing of all the debaters of
the Jefferson Society
1t is almost misfortune for college boy
to speak with ease and readiness. 1t is so
apt to lead to carelessness in preparation
and an absolute neglect of writing. Such,
however, was not the case with the subject
of this sketch. He was exceeding diligent
in the use of his pen. He thoroughly ap-
preciated the necessity of acquiring the art
Of composition. 1 cannot better illustrate
his notions on this subject, than by making
brief extract from the editors Drawer"
which was written by him whilst he was one
of the editors of the Magazine. Among
much that would well bear republication, he
says: cat period like the present, every
one who has the good of his country at heart
should learn to write. The orators voice is
silenced; the politicians hands are fettered;
the soldiers sword rusts in its scabbard; ;
but the pen is free. When great issues are
at stake, when few years must decide the
fate of this great country, every one should
be prepared to take part in the conflict,
and that conflict must be carried on by the
pen. Our representatives are excluded from
the halls where once Southern eloquence
upheld Southern rights. Our people no
longer meet in great political assemblies to
cast their votes for the high officers of the
land; and mighty as is the power of oratory
in its own field, that field is now so narrowed
that its power is of little avail But the
press is open; its field is widened rather
than contracted; and its power is greater
than it has ever been before The North
and the South are alike open to its powerful
influence, and by it must be spread those
moderate and enlightened principles which
alone can save our country. Iti is your duty
to prepare yourselves for this work, to rem
der yourselves able to express your senti.
ments, and embody your arguments, in such
a manner as to attract the attention of all"
Such were the thoughts that inspired the
energy which he displayed in this depart
ment of intellectual discipline.
1t is with reluctance that leave that por-
ton of the brief life of this poor boy, which
was spent in the classic shades Of. the Uni.
versity of Virginia, in order to follow him
across the wide ocean, whence, in one short
year, he returned to die. 1t is true that
college life is but period of discipline for
the sterner and more real duties which fol-
low; vet it is an entirety work complete
il itself. This was the only work that this
poor young man had time to finish. and most
nobly did he redeem his brief allotment
Whilst l yet linger in memory around this
portion of life so bright, and so full of
hope, and before entering upon that sad
chapter, which, however illuminated by the
light Of Christian faith, must yet be fecked
with shadows of disappointment, and strewn

hopes. trust l may be p, loned for quot

of mind and taste, lest it might be inferred
from his subsequent manifestations of imag-

intellect lacked those solid qualities which

may be judged from a life so short, he seemed

SOUTHERN CROP PROSPECTS. =
The New Orleans Times, May Goth,
says: "rhe weather this spring, in
our own and in the States from
which we derive our principal sup.
plies Of Southern agricultural pro-
ducts, has generally been colder than
usual ut the same period of the sea-
son, but, Notwithstanding this, the
accounts from the country all con-
CURED in reporting good stands of
cotton, sugar, corn, etc. The fact
that less rain had fallen than usual
was not at all complained of where
the plants showed fairly in the rows,
as an opportunity was thus afforded
for blowing and for destroying the
weeds and grass. Latterly, however,
we hear considerable complaint from
some districts, and particularly those
east of the Mississippi, of the too
long continuance of the drouth, and
fears are entertained that should the
season not very soon assume a more
favorable character, the hopeful ex-
pectations which have all along been
entertained respecting the crops may
not be realized"

THAT GOLD-HEADED CANE.

We have just received letter from
J. r.. Linn Esq, Ottawa Ohio, CIV
ing the gratifying intelligence that the
Hon. Jefferson Davis has acknowl-
edged the receipt of the cane, about
which much has been said in the pa
pers. In consequence of the fanatic
hatred Of the South, still burning in
the hearts Of his pious neighbors, Mr..
Linn deemed 1t prudent to make us
the medium of communication with
Mr.. Davis and, in a previous letter,
gave us the history of the cane. 1t
was presented to Mr.. Davis, by Pres
ident Pierce, and was stolen during
the war, but how Mr.. Linn discover
ed and got it in possession, we do not
remember with sufficient accuracy to
repeat, and his letter containing the
information, we cannot refer to, hav-
ing forwarded 1t as soon AS read, to
Mr.. Davis, at Memphis. Suffice 1t to
say the cane has been delivered to its
rightful owner, and that Mr.. Linn de-
serves the thanks of every good
man for his generous agency i'm its re-
covery and restoration. To avoid the
possibility of mob violence to Mr..
Linn, Mr.. Davis enclosed to us an
order from the Express Agent, at
Memphis, to the Agent Dat ttaYa, to
receive the package and forward it
to him. the Agent. Can anything
more fully disclose the INSCRIPTIONS
vindictiveness of Radicallsm than
the necessity for such caution against
mob violence to prevent the restitu-
ton of property wrested from its
owner without the sanction of any
