Never was anything more gladly welcomed than the shrill whistle of the iron horse as it came waking up the echoes in these sleeping solitudes.

Warren and Granville, assembled in the chapel or the Oxford Femp le College, on the evening of Monday the 22nd June. After the opening exercises, Hon. A. W. Venable was introduced to the audience by the President, and delivered a forcible and impressive address on the subject of.

"Popular errors in regard to Education." He gave us many home trusts, and presented in at. clear light many errors of importance, which prevail, to some extent, among parents, teachers pupils and in fact all connected in any way with the Educational interests of the country. While perhaps all his views will not be fully endorsed, they were in the main, highly practical, and will be profitably heeded by all concerned. He received a unanimous vote of thanks for his remarks, and for his earnest zeal for the success of our efforts. The sessions of the following day and night were spent in discussing various top- i ics connected with the objects of the associa- tion, in which many interesting remarks were made and profitable suggestions presented.

I A regular plan of business was adopted, and 1 a committee appointed to secure two gentlemen to deliver addresses, and three to read 1 essays at the next meeting, on the following subjects, viz 1st Popular errors in regard to Schools. 2nd The best course of Mather-mathics and 3rd The advantages and disadvantages of large Schools.

A letter to the Editor from Alamance says Wheat harvest has hardly commenced yet, and there are millions of Chinch Bugs feeding off of the sap needed to mature the grain. Owing to the want of rain oats are likely to be almost worthless and corn very backward. Almost every one is mad at distillers who have contributed to he present scarcity of corn. Prospects for Temperance very bright in this section. Health of people generally good.

Extract of a letter from Johnston county, N. says The wheat crop in this locality is cheering though not much was sown last fall. The oat crop is almost a failure, owing to having been killed by cold early in Spring. Fodder is not to be had at any price. Corn Ks very scarce, taougn some uiwo cu even though the seller bos is nos eyiwo do his stock justice.

I think there is bacon enough in this locality to keep the people from starving, until beef season. The present prospect for corn crops are good, though the corn is quite small for the season.

McDaniel, Fayetteville. Clysed by prayer. At night I attended the social party given by the young gentlemen of the school. I was delighted at the nice orderly manner in which the party was conducted, charmed out of my senses with the beauty and wit which flashed before me and on all sides. I venture the assertion, that Western North Carolina can't be beaten for real female beauty 1 The party went off finely, and much was and done in this brilliant galaxy which my pen refuses to relate.

But before I close. I must sav that the sneechea of the young gentlemen were very superior, full of original thought, and delivered with a dignity and grace which charmed and electrified the vast audience in attendance. There was not a sorry speech amony them. It seemed as tho' they were trying to excel each other to gain-the approbation of friends and visii tors, and carry off the prize of the "Art Oratory." Surely such talent as was here displayed will, at no distant day, make North Carolina an object of envy by her sisters. Mr.

Barber's address was indeed a fine specimen of classic lore and legant taste. If we judge Mr. B. by his speech, success willcertainly be his reward. We understand his speech will be published, which we fear not will speak-for itself.

JLast, but not least, Mr. Mcuaniel sermon was the moat ftii'Tnt Aiing aarmon.ta which it has ever been my pleasure to listen. There was a large audience receiving, in almost breathless silence, the sweet words as they rolled from his lips, like live coals from off the altar. His text was the 4th verse of the 2d chapter of "Run, spea'k to this young man." His Theme was Jhe In- struction appropriate to a Young How beautiful is the gospe when eeented like this was! The most obdurate heart must have felt the soul-inspiring influence of this humble but exalted preacher. I under stand the sermon will be published, which I hope will be, that others nay have it to read, and ponder well the great truths which it embodies.

Mr. Editor: I am a new comer to this vi- 22? ern5 oellen refrain from giving publicity to the gratify- ing fact. Some ten weeks ago a Division of the Sons was instituted in this community, and $ver since, there has been a general rush for membership. I have been a Son some five years, and been among many Divisions, uub j. uevcr saw any luiug tu uumpare wiin this.

At their laot meeting ten men were initiated, and seven the meeting previous and tbe Ladies are going in by the dozen and more. I think in a ahort time this will be the Banner Division in che State, if it is not already. There is a good School here at. Smith Grove, and Parents would do well to send their children here.

Editor Permit me to mention some of the improvements going forward in this part of the good old North State. Commencing my journey at Statesville, I find this little town rearing up buildings on every street and assuming quite a handsome appearance among them is the new College, for Young Ladies looming up above all the rest, with her stately dome on which stands a 'beautiful observatory. This Seminary of Learning is founded by the Presbyterians, ang is truly creditable to that denomination. Here, too, the Rail Road leadarfrom Salisbury on westward, and will soon be saluted by the neighing of the Iron Horse. Leaving Statesville we find a delightful country and good road twenty miles to the pleasant little village of Taylorsville.

Here we came in view of fine mountain scenery, exceedingly pleasant to look out upon, covered as the mountains now are with a rich carpet of green. The people are hospitable' to strangers and kind to the weary traveler. None of those filthy Doggeries, around which cluster dissipation, are allowed to have a place in this young but thriving little town. But what we saw here most to admire is one of the most flourishing Schools for educating young men, founded by the Baptists. This institution, we are told, has about 100 students, who are very remarkable for their good deportment and attentiveness to study.

This has an able Faculty who are doing of therworld? ASrm- WUkes.egative I Ellen Dale, named- by an invalid female fwho bad her healthyestored here. The p.I Ov is Little River. CITYAITD STATE NEWS. Dedication or St. JohVjs Collegs.

The discovery of pearls in the streams of New Jersey has induced investigations elsewhere. A few days since, Mr. Stone, of Hannibal, Oswegocounty, New York, fished up XX pearls in Nine Mile Creek, said to be worth several thousand dollars The Oswego Times says The pearl muscle in our fresh water streams, is nothing more or less than the fresh water clam which in our boyhood we have fished out of many little brooks in Oneida and thrown away as of no value Had we then known whit we have since learned, we should have examined the mouth of the muscle, as the pearl forms there and may easily be detected Ji resembles a small round' pebble, and ia situated just at the mouthy of the muscle. -Doubtless, certain localities produce pearls more abundantly than but there ia no doubt that they may be obtained to iome extent, at least, wherever the muscle grow. A gentleman in Niagara County, also recently found a pearl of great price.

Woman. The Irish are no less proverbial for their gallantry then their wit, as the following extract from a speech by "Costigan," will abupdantly prove The eye of a woman, sir, is the glowiDg refulgence that lights up the transparency of human life.

Is there a heart amongst you that doesn't respond to myappale? Sir, the extent of our obligations to that sex is unknown. From the cradle to the grave I speak advisedly woman is with us everywhere. We are born of woman, and when we die we go back to her arms for aren't we then put to" sleep in our mother earth Everything that's beautiful and grand, and glorious, is of the female gender. Isn't Liberty a woman Isn't Britannia a woman and when does she look so like a real divinity as when she's leaning on her anchor, and shaking hands across the green waters with her sister, Hibernia Aren't the Muses and the Graces women to a man? And the only bull in the fine ancient heathen mythology r'was making Love a little boy. Ifwe had anytiiingof tb'egods and goddesses in Ireland, maybe we wouldn't put petticoats upon Cupid, and convert him into a girl If Love isn't a woman thetdeuce is in the dice.

Of one woman whom Con-greve had admired and celebrated, he says that "to have loved her was a liberal education" "How often," he says, dedicating a volume to his wife, "has your tenderness removed, pain from my sick head how often anguish from my afflicted heart! If there are Euchjaeings as guardian angels, they are thus I cannot believe one of them to be better in inclination, or more charming in form, than my wife." One of the Editors of the Chicago Home Journal is remarkable for the force and beauty of his imagery. We give a paragraph as an instance.

The sentence is too long, and-it is slightly complicated, but withal it beautiful in and expression 'Nothing ever grows old in memory; the Jlitle boy that died, so long ago, is an eternal child and ezen as he crept over the threshold of God's gates ajar, at the beckon-- ing of the so ever in the heart his parting look, with hei ven shining full upon his brow; the beauty that the heart grew warm beholding, in life's forenoon, when dews were on tho world, and played the truant with 60me angel, remains untouched by time, even as the unrent sky, that let the wanderer A man should never be ashamed to own that he has been in tha wrong which is but saying in other words, that he is wiser to-day than he was yesterday. So says Pope, and truly too yet how many fools there are who persist in their own opinions to the-disgust of all sensible people. rs K7 1.
