A CONVENTION OF CoNFEDERATEs AT THE
WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGs.-We understand
that the Southern Historical Society,"" of
which Rev. DR.. Palmer, of New Orleans, is
President, has appointed convention to as
semble at the Montgomery White Sulphur
Springs, on the 14th Of August, for the pur-
pose of adopting some general plan for collect
ing and preserving the materials for history
of the late war, and for having that history
written from an impartial Southern stand
point. .
This society was organized several years ago,
with DIR. Palmer as President, and Vice
President for each one of the late Confederate
States. az we'll as for Maryland. Gen. r. E.
Lee was the Vice President for Virginia, but
after his death, Gen. ]. A. Early was appointed
to succeed him.
The plan of the convention is to have a
number of delegates appointed for each State,
by the Vice President thereof, in order to Sc
cure proper representation, but it is also de-
sired that there shall be as large an attendance
as practicable, of all those Confederates who
feel a sufficient interest in the object of the
convention to induce them to take part IN Its
furtherance. We are informed that number
of delegates from this State have been ap-.
pointed, and that General Early, by request of
the parent society, will deliver the opening ad-
dress The presence of number of distin-
euished officers of the Confederate army is an
ticipatcd, and among them, Generals Joseph
q. Johnston, Beauregard, Bragg, Hood, ,Har-
dee. Hampton, and others. The convention
will doubtless be one of great interest and at
raction.-C6lumbia.P Ph@nir.

suit of the conflict, however, mas in favor of
the Pi Omega Society-both Cups being won
by its representatives.
After session of unusual interest and mo-
ment to the University, the Board of Trustees
adjourned on the 10th inst, and in a: few days
there were not many left to remind Us of their
recent sojourn. 1t lis very pleasant to have
this honorable body with Us, although their
presence is brief They come from every sec
ton of the South-Afrom,s Wilmington to San
Antonio-and: represent all the professions.
It is pleasanter still to know that such body
of intellect and influence annually leave Sc
wanee,with.a higher appreciation of the fnsti-
tuition, and that they exert themselves to
present its merits to the Southern peoples, 80
Commencement Week closed its festivities
with the reception of the Vice Chancellor.
This. is an annual entertainment, given in
honor of the students, visitors and residents,
and through its quiet unobstrusiye nature is
perhaps enjoyed more than any other diversion
of the season.
Now new term. has begun, and with it a
succession of arduous duties. After their
hilarious respite, the students are prepared to
re-commence their labors with the greater zest,
although they know too well that the winter
vacation will alone interrupt their collegiate
routine. But I am too fast, for already we
have had an entertainment of q literary cast.
Mr.. Tayerner, of New York, one of the most
highly recommended Professors of Elocution,
has been spending. several days here, and on
last evening gave to the public of Sewanee q
specimen of his oratorical powers. An appre-
ciative and critical audience was present to
enjoy the sintellectual repast anticipated, but
the greater part failed to perceive in the Prof.
those excellencies which others had lauded,
and were sadly disappointed at the results.
His selections were admirably chosen, and the
rendering of some very fine. OF this charac-
ter we may mention ''The Bells" Gan Irish
Dialogue" "Sam WeIlers Valentine" and the
Assassination Scene, in Macbeth" On the
other hand, sThe Jackdaw of Rheims, "a
Scotch Dialogue" "Lenore" and "Maud Null
ler," fell far below the expectation of all, and
the two last were so distorted in their delivery
that they fell still-born upon the audience.
The weather has been most delightful during
the recent festivities-occasional showers
throughout the day, and the balmiest breezes
at night. 1t is now as charming as the dawn
of spring, yet we cannot solace ourselves with
the idea that the hot season has entirely passed.

How To SUBDUE A Vicious HoRsE.-A
beautiful and hgh-spirited horse would never
allow shoe to be put on his feet or any person
to handle his9feet, without. a resort to every
species and means to control him. at one
time he was nearly crippled by being put in
the stocks he was afterwards thrown. down
and fettered; at one time, one of our most
experienced horse-shoers was unabled to man
age him By the aid of as many hands as could
approach. In an attempt to shoe this horse
lately he resisted all efforts, kicked aside every
thing but an anvil, ard came near killing him.
self against that, and finally was brought back
to his stable unshod This was his only defect;
in all other respects he is gentle, and perfectly
docile, aud especially in harness But this de-
feet was just on the eve of consigning him
to the plow, where he might work barefoot
when, by mere accident, an officer In our ser
vice lately returned from Mexico, was passing
and being made acquainted with the difficulty,
applied q complete remedy by the following
simple process: He took cord about the
size of common BEDFORD, put it in the mouth
of the horse like a bit, and tied it tightly on
the animals head, passing his left ear under
the string, not painfully tight, but tight enough
to keep the ear down and the cord in it's place.
This DONE. he patted the horse gently on the
side of the head, and commanded him to fol-
low and instantly the horse obeyed, perfectly
subdued and as gentle and obedient as awell
trained dog; suffering his, feet to be lifted with
entire impunity, acting in all respects like an
old stager. That simple string thus tied made
him at once docile and obedient as any one
could desire. The gentleman who thus furn-
ishes this exceedingly simple means OF sub
dung a very dangerous propensity intimated
that It is practised in Mexico and South Amer
ica in the Infringement of wild horses. Be
this as it may, he deserves the thanks of all
owners of such horses, and especially the
thanks of those whose business it may be to
shoe or groom the animal.
