A Confederate Ghost.

'Rest perturbed spirit |" will be the senh-
ment Of all healthy minds on reading ths
Wild frantic address of General John g.
Preston to the alumni OF the University of
Virginia yesterday The University of Vir-
GINA was founded by Jefferson, and
he regarded it as one OF his proud
est trophies. In the epitaph he wrota
for his own tombstone he classed
it with tho authorship of the Declaration OF
Independence as one of the three things Tor
which he thought he deserved to be remem-
bered If the highty orator yesterday had
inherited something of Jefferson's taste for
chaste and condensed composition he would
have done greater honor to his Alma Mater
The frothy rhetoric of o sophomore
does not become the mouth of an
alumnus of an institution of learning founded
by one OF our great statesmen who had the
greatest contempt for empty bombast But
the sentiments of this suited address would
be out of taste in any diction. General
Preston exhibits himself as a ghost linger-
ing over the grave of the late Conled-
eracy and cherishing all the sentiments
which it felt in life. He delivers
such blows as a ghost might give whose arm
is thin mir aud whose stroke clnnot wound
To do him justice he is not quite insensbis
of the vanity of his utterances Here is ono
specimen of his despairing rhetoric -"The
bloody tumult Of tho storm which fell
upon our peaceful grandeur may have
subsided, but our poor wat-rlogged
vessel is still tapping her shivered sails
and rolling heavily and helplessly in the
yawning troughs." This is specimen OF
style for The initiative young graduates. Tho
whole composition is Of this tissue, and the
main purpose of the address seems to have
been to evoke out of its grave the spirit OF
the dead Confederacy. Here is General Pres
ton view Of the permanency of our Union:-
''Not space, or time OF the convenience
of any human law, or the power of any hui
man arm can reconcile institutions for the
turbulent fanatic OF Plymouth Rock and the
God-fearing Christian Of Jamestown The
whole address is in a strain Of similar turgid
extravaganza and bad temper, and it is pain
ful to make quotations. They jar so upon
the spirit OF the recent Centennid celebra-
tions, and on the enthusiasm of the young
Yirginians who lately went to Bunker Hll.
that we are justified in supposing that
General Preston stands alone. Surely
there is nothing resembling this in
the excellent address of Mr. Hunter,
the eminent statesman, to another Virginia
college day or two since 1t is not the sem
timent of the great body of the ingenious
young men of the Southern States who cher
ish hopes of their own future and thai of the
country with which their deStinies are bound

Of the members, and all business Of this class
was blocked- while the republican Aldermen
were excluded. They were, therefore, in
position to extort from the democrats who
had declared them in contempt free and
full oondonation without any yielding on their
part. They are as glad to get back as tho
democrats were to receive them, and both
sides willingly bury the hatchet and smoka

Major Loech's Resignation.

We learn with regret that Major Leech, TO
whose exertons the Irish Rife Association
owes its existence, has resigned the captaincy
of the Irish team. In doing SO the gallant
Major but carries out q resolution formed
when the challenge for the return match in
Ireland was issued. At the present moment
the resignation strikes us as somewhat inop-
perfume, because it is calculated to give rise
to comment at this side Of the water and TO
some misconception of the motives which
have led to Major Leechs action. II is quite
possible that his intended resignation was
FASTENED by the discomfort felt at the compo-
sition of the Irish team and to the want of
that organization which it is the team cap
taiR's duty to create and maintain. No doubt
public opinion in Ireland, smarting under
the sense of defeat may have rendered the
further holding of the captaincy of the team
unpleasant, and the Major, who is sensitive
and polished gentleman, considered himself
called upon to retire from false position.
1t may be that the members of the Irish
Eight who viii have 10 contend at Wimbledon
desire the services of a practical rifeman as
captain of their team. The importance of or
ganization and discipline has .been deeply
impressed upon their minds by the two victo-
ries won by America, and which have been
due in great part 70 the admirable discipline
of our representative riaemen- But whatever
the cause, we feel certain that it is not in-
tended as an expression Of discomfort at the
American victory, for mono bore more grace
fully the reverse at Creedmoor than did tho
