which were adopted by the Southern Republi-

Exhibition at Asbury Seminary

Mn. EDiTcr Permit me TO give passing
notice of the exercises Of Asbury Seminary
which took place on the 2Ist of July. By in
vitation Of the principal, Mr.. n. G. Liiuejohn,
we repaired to the Seminary, which is pleasant
ly situated fow miles north Of Grindle's Shoals.
About three hundred of the best citizens of thaa
region had assembled to take part in u : lGstivi.
tics OF the day. The Seminary being too smaa
tc contain the audience, the chapel, very lsrg.
and commodious building was beautifully deco.
rated, and at ten o'clock the pupils entered, rs
nicely arranged and in good order as ut any
Of your college exhibitions. The exercises were
opened with prayer by the accomplished pastor
of the VI. l.. church ,t Union, Rev. A. III. Lester.
After shorl introductory by the Principal the
speeches and compositions of the boys, and The
select pieces of poetry aud compositions Of the
young ladies' were delivered and were creditahle
indeed. The whole school did admirably well,
and we were particularly pleased with the pieces
hna compositions Of seven young ladies belong
Ing 10 the school, Of which will take the liber-
~ tp give special notice:
They had selected beautiful pieces Of humor-
Gus, grave and sublime poetry, that suited the
Individual taste Of each, and they read them
with such case and effect, as to far surpass any
thing we had heard Of a similar chnrnct.r,---
Their compositions showed much thought aud
study and the themes wore better iren' ed thau
tho>c often read by graduates. o, that all tho
sweet sixtccns' could do as well IF other
girls could treat The Pleasures Of Memory" us

Faunic Litlejohp "Beautie. Of Nature" by
Miss Lizzie Mitchell; advantages Of Educa.
tion," hy Miss Virginia Gibson, orr future
would hc indeed promising.
The audience was thea held spell bound for
about an hour, listening to an address delivered
oy Rev Mr. Lester, who had kindly cons cntod
TO be with us. Afterwards short speeches were
given us by several of the prominent pc rseps
who we're present. And now the only thing
that could be lacking, Sfter such literary feast,
, to make the day grand success, was nnounced
| TO be ready. We were then invited to t. long
table, raised under m arbor erected for the
purpose, which was loaded with all the heart
ani appetite could desire, and we could but Di.
mirc the libGraii'v Of the people Of that part Of
| Union.
After we had finished our sumptuous repast--
and not half Of what had beer prepared Was
consumed-we spent the remainder Of the day
IN pleasant conversation. and at last reluctantly
| left the sccue where had spent Of tho
most pleasant days Of omr life. Who could not
be delighted with such feast?
Great credit is due the Principal for tic salts

in the future a continuation of the gren' success
| which has attended his previous efforts. g.
