COmmencementLThe University.

June is emphatically " commencement
month" Every paper that comes to us is
more or less filled with accounts of tho
closing scenes of the schools and colleges
of the country. The young men at the
old time-honOred University of our sister
State, Virginia, have just listened to Sena-
tor THURMAN in one of the greatest efforts
of his life.
In our own State we hear glowing
accounts from Davidson, Trinity and
Wake Forrest Colleges, and they suggest
the melancholy enquiry, what about the
commencement at Chapel Hill-that COM
mencement that in the Olden-timc for
weeks before and after its occur
renee kept in a delightful tremor the

of North Carolina! Did "the first Thurs

But all Of our people are not like that

ATLANTIC HOTEL,

ATLANTIC HOTEL,
BEAUFORT, N. c., July l, 1872.
DEAR JOURNAL see by your issue of
the 10Th ultimo, that it is very hot i'll VIII
mingtOn. We arc enjoying here the most
delightful breezes, and assure You that
the information you give in regard to the
state Of the weather, is no great induce
ment to leave the comforts to be found
here, for ne heated sanctun. But when
[ think of the labors of MERRIAfoN and
HUGHES, SHIP and GRAITANr, and our
gallant WADDEII, Of the laborious canvass
of the eloquent VANCE, am reminded of
my duty, and neither the generous landlord
Of the Atlantic, with his soft crabs and
oysters, fish and scollops, nor the delight
FIJI breeze and swift sailing yachts can
longer beguile me away.
BEAUFORT.
There are few watering places on the
Atlantic coast possessing so many natural
advantages as Beaufort. n beautiful har-
Dor, the finest sailing, bathing and fishing.
The fish, crabs, scollops and oysters are
very fine and in the greatest abundance
The sea breeze is all that could be desired.
The yachts and other sailing boats arc dry
and neat and safe, all of them managed
with COnsummate skill. Altogether the
attractions are numerous and first Glass;
The bathing houses, without exception,
are very Indifferent, which is really the
only drawback to the entertainment.
ATLANTIC HOTEL.
l am the guest of that prince of seaside
landlords, Mr.. G. w. TAYLOR, and his
affable assistant, M. G. w. CHARLOTTE.
They both know how to keep hotel"
which does not always follow as matter
OF course. Heretofore, i: has been my for
tune, WheIf on the coast, to have the land
lord exhaust his own patience and tue
appehtes OF his guests, in procuring tough
beef and chickens, and half-spoiled hams,
at great expense. At the Atlantic, while
Ghere is no want OF beef, mutton, venison
and poultry, you also find in the greatest
abundance all sorts of fish, which are
served in style and quantity, which shows
an appreciation of the appetites of guests
seeking the coast.
The hotel is built so that most of the
rooms front the South, giving their occu-
pants the full benefit of the sea breeze 1t
is situated so that the tide flows under it
to the depth of TWO or three feet twice in
twellty-four hours. The day after our
arrival the little girls of our party caught |
some twenty to thirty fish from the portico |

Howard and the Freedman's bureau

Howard and the Freedman - EsgGrc;lu.
We take the following paragraph from
the Baltimore San:
CENT FREEDMAN's BUEEAU.-The
freedman'S bureau is to cease on loJ July,
and the property will be transferred to the
War Department and put under the imme-
diate control of the adjutant general"
We presume that the little g irrcgular-
ty" in the Bureau affairs for which, ac-
cording to General Hooker, General How
ard was sent to Arizona, exhausted all of
its funds. The pious Howard would never
have left the Bureau as long as there was a
dollar i'll it. Having squeezed all he could
out of the black man, the piOus Howard is
now turning his attention to tie noble red
man. Some expressions of his having been
interpreted into a threat, the General is re-
ported to have said,
'sIfI had come here for the purpose OF
intimidating you l would have brought Il
large army with me. | once had thirty
thousand soldiers under me, and l could
have that number again if wanted them. "
This utterance of this arant hypocrite
bears painfully blasphemous resemblance
TO the uttcrance of Him who said, - think
est thou / cannot now pray to my Father,
and he shall presently give me more than
twelve legions of angels ?'
The New York World says:
"Will General Howard be llind enough
to inform us where he had 30 900 men un-
der him ? Was it at characteristics, where
he and his whole corns sLanpedcd before
" StOnewalI =" JacksOn's onset, and thus
lost every hope of victory? Or does he
refer to his ragamuffins, the KU-KluX-ori-
ginating bands of his famous bureau If
the former, they would require better
leader than Howard to be very effective
against the redskins, AMI if the latter no
leadership on earth would make warriors
out of them. But waving all this, where
could Howard get th.t number again if he
wanted them? The regular army has
been reduced, if we mistake not, to 80, 600
men, and if the stories about deseuions be
true, its effective strength is much less
Howard is by no means the ranking officer
of the army. Indeed, his rank only emit
ties him at most to the command Of one
sixth of it, and this is more than his ability
would warrant General Sherman i'll intrrs-
ting to him. This ''tall talk :" does for In
dians, but is hardly entertaining TO Eastern
persons who know General Towards ca
