The audience was composed largely of the patrons and friends of the Institute, to which were added the pupils of the Charlotte Institute for Young Ladies. It is not the purpose of this brief notice to criticise thef individual Sorts? of the young orators. If it were, little else could be said of each than can be truth fully said of the whole entertainment : that it was highly interesting and cred itable to the young orators. There is an ease and grace of manner, a distinct ness ot enunciation and expression which is rare even in colleges whose pretensions are far greater. The selec tions too were altogether different from what one usually hears on such occa sions. Four of the speeches we have never heard surpassed by young men at college. The art of declamation is made a specialty at the Carolina Military In stitute, and it would be difficult to find a truer exponent of it than the princi pal himself, whose gifted oratory has more than once charmed the people of Charlotte. The audience was highly pleased, and manifested their approval by frequent applause. The bouquets which were showered upon the young men by their young lady friends must have more than satisfied their ambition Declination of Col. Johnston.
