WASHINGTON AND LEE UNIVERSITY

The Commencement and things connected there
with, seem to have been quite satisfactory
The Baccalaureate sermon was preached by the
Rev. DR.. j. G. Cranberry of Richmond, on Sab
bath, 18th inst. His text was, Jer. tx: %, a.
"Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom &C.
A discourse embodying excellent thoughts we'll ex-
pressed in the earnest, unaffected style belonging
to the preacher.
Monday night was the Anniversary of the Young
Mems Christian Association. The address was
delivered by Rev. DR.. John s. Grasty, of Shelby
vile, KY, and is described by correspondent of
one of our exchanges as admirable, chaste, point
ed and practical" His theme was, True Success
in all Pursuits the fruit of high resolve
On Wednesday night the Anniversary of the
Alumni was observed The address was delivered
BY the Rev. Thomas L. Preston of Richmond
His subject was Theology as fit branch Of lib
eral culture" 1t was an able discussion presented
in very earnest fervid style, and was listened to
with much satisfaction by large and intelligent
assembly.
Thursday was Commencement Day, and it drew
together quite crowd of citizens and strangers
After the certificates and diplomas had been con-
ferred by the President, General Gusts Lee, and
the usual speeches delivered, the Hon. Joseph W.
Taylor, of Alabama, was introduced, as the gen.
tleman chosen to make the annual address before
the Literary Societies. This address occupied two
hours and ten minutes, and yet the attention of
the audience was held completely to its close. The
object of it was to show the prepriety and duty of
reconstructing the present institution, and expand
ing it into one far wider in its scope to be called

The Correspondence with our Presbyterian
Brethren in the South.

The Christian Intelhigencer, the organ of the
Reformed Dutch Church says
Our readers will be glad to learn that the pro-
position of the last General Synod to open frater
nal correspondence with the General Assembly OF
the Presbyterian Church South, was formally pre-
scented to that body by the Synod's commissioner,
Rev. DR.. Todd, at Huntsville, Alabama, on Satur-
day. May Goth, and was responded to by the Mod,
orator, Rev. DR.. Pumer, in the most delightful
spirit of brotherly love. On the following Monday,
the committee of Foreign Correspondence to whom
the matter had been referred, reported series of
resolutions, expressing pleasure that the PROPOSE
ton had been brought before them, and accept
ting in terms as candid and affectionate those
in which it had been made. The report was SUBJ
mitted to the house without debate and was
adopted by q unanimous vote.
1t is matter of congratulation that these two
bodies, SO closely bound to each other as the I'M
swerving defenders of the old Pauline and Angus
tinian faith, are thus brought into more intimate
relations. They ought to love one another, as we
believe they do. But we trust the action just
taken will have the effect to draw out, in more dis
tinct expression, the fraternal interest and SYM
pathy which they feel in their hearts.
Our commissioner informs us that his reception,
both officially and personally, by the General AS,
sembly and the people of Huntsville was most kind
and cordial, and that body Of more true.hearted
Christian men and women he has never met. Ger
tain we are that this action and the better acquant
ance it must promote, will be productive Of good
to both.
The delegates appointed by the General Assem-
bly, to represent that body in our General Synod,
it will be seen, are Rev. John e. Bryson, Of Ten
nessee, principal, and Rev. Samuel J, Baird, ID;
D., of Virginia, alternate. They are both men OF
high character, and either will meet with hearty
rralcoma ~

Notice Of Closing Exercises.

The closing exercises of the Augusta Female
Seminary which took place on the evenings Of the
18th, 18th, and l4th of June, were great success,
and confirmed the opinion already formed of the
high standard reached in that Institution in the
useful and ornamental branches of female educa-
ton. Thoroughness seems to characterize every
department. We were greatly pleased by the
prominence given to elocution and composition.
The Rotations that took place in the presence Of
select audience, composed only of friends and
relatives, were very beautiful The music. both
vocal and instrumental, Showed degree Of culture
never surpassed in any institution. The difficult
and classic music was not only rendered with pre-.
cision and expression, but with grace, selfpos-
session and freedom from afectation that elected
universal admiration. Miss Annie Woods, of Vir.
ginia was the only full graduate this present ses.
sion out of l76 pupils. The highest honor in music
was awarded to Miss Kate Downing, of Georgia.
In three separate classes Star medals we're award
ed in music to Miss L. Watt, Of Richmond, Va;
Miss Phi Sturges, of Georgia; Miss Emma List,
of Wheeling, West Va. In composition, Star
medals were awarded to Miss Belle Coffin, of Ten
nessee, and Miss lisa Darlington, Of Virginia.

FROM THE SOUTHERN STATES.
The Presbytery Nashville

Met in an adjourned meeting at 1st Nashville
church, at II A. NJ, June IA.
Mr.. Henry NJ. Anderson, Of st. Louis was re-
ceived from the Presbytery of st. Louis, as can
didate of the gospel ministry. Mr.. Anderson's
parts Of trial for censure were assigned him, and
they with the usual examinations on the subjects
necessary for licensure were all sustained as cred
liable and satisfactory Mr.. Anderson was then
duly licensed to preach the gospel of Christ to
sin-ruined world. Mr. Anderson will labor during
the summer as city missionary under the super
vision and direction of the session Of lst church.
A church was reported as organized at Tulahoma
on the Nashville & Chattanooga Railroad.
Bryson pastor of Shelbyvile church reported their
discharge of their duty on lst Sabbath of June.
Rev. D. 0. Davies declined the call put into his
hands by Presbytery, coming from the church at
Henderson, Kentucky.
The pastoral relations between the Rev. j. w.
Neil and the Murfreesboro church were dissolved
and the pulpit was ordered to be declared vacant
This church was persuaded to do this at the earn
est request of their PASTOR who felt it to be his ur
gent duty to accept the call OF Presbytery to take
charge of its evangeistic work. 1t was sore trial
to both, but the Master had need of brother Neil
for another field. 1t is proper to state here that
Mr.. Neil's acceptance of the Presbytery's call in
augurates new feature in our missionary work.
The whole mission field of Presbytery is under
brother Neil's supervision; His work is strictly
that of an evangelist, but Presbytery has also put
under his control the whole work of colportorage,
and other means necessary to spread the gospel
and our doctrines: From the signs of the times
in the unoccupied fields of our Presbytery, and the
eminent fitness of brother Neil for his work, the
Presbytery, with Gods blessing, hopes for rich
fruits to advance the interests of our Zion.
Brother Neil is backed by Standing Commit
tee OF Missions of which he is Chairman. which is
to receive and supply him with men and money as
they can.
Mr.. F.-B Thompson member Of Cripple Greek
church was received under the care of Presbytery
as candidate for the ministry This adds another
to our list of candidates, making four in all.
The session at night was devoted to the discus
sion and utilization of such schemes as would Sc
cure the needed supplies of money, large item
of which is brother Neils salary, of $4,000 per
annum. The whole amount of the evangelists
salary was raised by private subscriptions, given
in quarter, half and whole shares, 500 being
whole share. These amounts to be paid during
the year, monthly or in other stated periods.

American Tract Society. years before the
late war this Society steadfasty resisted all efforts
and they were powerful and repeated-to lead
it aside from the wise policy under which it was
organized into the mire and pollution of abolition
ism. But during the war, while its constitution
remained as it had been, speeches were poured
out radical and bitter and some publications were
issued in which slavery was referred to in terms
that were not only unustifable but very offensive.
A Depository of this Society was established in
Richmond, in 1865 or rather it was re-established,
inasmuch as there had been one for long time
before, and the Virginia Tract Society was once
an efficient auxiliary to the parent institution

cording to our information, now in the hands of
gentlemen who are every way deserving Of the
confidence of Southern people. Most, if not all
the colporters appointed are Southern men, and
none are commissioned whose sentiments are be-
lieved to be Objectionable The aim of the Society,
we are assured, is to circulate among our people
only what is gospel truth-according to the STAN
dard of belief accepted by all the Evangelical de.
nominations which formerly supported it.
Under this view it gives us pleasure to recon-
mend the operations of this society to the favor
of our people. 1t was formerly instrumental in
doing great good, and its publications were such
as to meet the appreciation of good people every.
where. There is plenty of room for its utmost Ia
bors in the South now, and as long as it will faith
fully adhere to its true and ancient principles, we
can heartily bid it God-speed If anything is pub.

it, or to thank others for doing so. The great
body of its publications have always commanded

WASHINGTON, July 27.-Secretaries Fish,
Belknap and Postmaster General Creswell
are here.
The President has recognized Waldemar
BOdisco as Russian Consul at New York.
General John b. Gordon was examined
by the ku-KluX committee to-day. His tes-
timOny was generally corroborative of
other conservative witnesses. He knew of
no ku-Klux as described in the papers; had
been invited by the best people of the State
to join an organization, the object of which
was purely selfproteetion. There were no
DISCUSSES.
Under the lead of bad whites, rising
of the negroes was apprehended, which,
without some organization on the part of
the whites, might be disastrous.
The organization alluded to was not poll
tical, and was never used for political pur-
poses.
The negroes did not essentially sympa-
thize with the Republican party; they had
an equal interest with the whites in good
government.
The alienation of part of the people of
the South against the government had been
increased since the war by the radical
measures, which they regarded as great
wrongs as well as by military arrests with
out warrant or charges, and the trial and
imprisonment of innocent men. He did not
feel that he or any of the Southern people
had committed treason.
