There was too, some fine music on the occasion, from 1 he Columbia liifle Bund, which added uiuch to the interest of the exercises. the conclusion of the address the company repaired to Campus, nnd after listening to the music, and viewing the illumination of llie Old College Building, tliey visited tho Society halls, where tho young people amused themselvee, in a sociu I way until ft Into hour. On Wednesday morning, the various Literary Societies held meetings at nn early hour, at which the various regular and honorary mein. bers, in attendance, were present.

At ttie meeting of the Society of Alumni, S. W. Dunlap of Alabama, was elected the next orator, and Dr. D. A.

Jordan, of Abbeville as his followed the exercises proper of Commencement day. The company began to assemble atun early hour and by 10 o'clock, the spacious area of Lindsay Hull, was filled to overflowing. The hall is capable of hold; lg about 1000 persons, and wo suppose that not more than of those present on tho occa- sion, obtained admittance. After an appropriate ora-. er bv the He v.

Dr. Boyce, the literary addresses were delivered by twelve members of the graduating class. They All exhibited much taste, judgment and maturity of thought, and were generally delivered in an easy, unaffected and manly style. The valedictory address by Mr. East," we thought peculiarly touching, graceful and ap-I propriate, and it elicited gonornl commendation.

Tho Addresa was one of those chaste, terse, and appropriate discourses, for which he ia and delivered in his usual earnest and impressive style and as remarked by the Telescope, "was iuvesUd with peculiar interest, by the faot, that it was pro bably tbe last, that we shall ever hear from tbe present lightly esteemed and respected president." After a reccw of an hour, the Anniversary Address before the Literary Societies, vat delivered by the Rev. Mr. McSwain. 1Jis subject was, "The Great, tbe Beautiful, and the Good," suggested by ousin's treatise on "The Good, the Beautiful and the True," and characterized by much of that Platonic elevation of thought, and that classic ease and purity of expression which distinguishes the discourses of the French Philosopher. Tbe address gave general satisfaction, and will add much to the reputation of-tlie Speaker, as an a'outo and vigorous thinker, sod as a chaste and beantifulwriter.

In (he following extracts, are presented in striking point of view, its various educational advantages and the superior attainments of its corps of instructors: The delightful eli i dle, higli location, nnd pure water have always ensured good health to its citizens and students. The Institution has annually received large Bhare of patronage, und risen successfully to it high place in public favor. Boarding and tuition cheap, educational advantages the best, temptations to extravagance and vice few, and the very highest moral nnd influences abounding, parents eould not lind a better Institution for the academical training of their sons, nnd hence gladly availed themselves of its superior advantages.

For more than twenty yenrn.it has been in operation, with various degrees of prosperity, and perhaps with less? fluctuation I in the nmonut of its patronage than most In stitut ions similar grade during the same length of time. A lew years the Common Hall system of boarding the students was abolished, and they now board in the different families of the community, enjoying all the and restraints of domestic associations.
