SALEM ACADEMY. m -r FOUNDED OCTOBER 31ST, 1803 OPENED MA IT 16, 1S04; AND IN COBPOBATED FEBRUARY 3, 1866 It ' Still JLItm a an Institution, Strong" tbened by the vmm. to Caurrr on lt Growth of MIiou of Good. AYftrciaea of the seventy seventh annual commencement of this old and venerable institution of learn ing, took place at Salem, N. 0., on last Thursday, June 16th. The school is the property or me American muiaviau church, and it is conducted under the supervision of the executive board of that denomination. But while this 13 so the system of teaching adopted is en tirely non sectarian. During the session just closed about one hundred and fifty students were in attendance, representing nearly all the Southern and many of the Northern States, and a class of thirteen young ladies were graduated. These were presented with diplomas in the presence of a large audience gathered in the col lege chapel. The annual sermon was preached by Rev.E.Rondthaler,-and the literary address was made by Hon. A. M. Wad dell, of Wilmington. Mr. W's address was a gem of its kind and we take the liberty of printing it entire : ADDRESS. Ladies and Gentlemen ; When one is called upon to discharge the duty which 1 have undertaken to do to-day, he naturally desires to present something new to his audience. He wishes to avoid if possible a repe tition of f acts and fancies, with which they are already familiar; at least to present them if used, in some new and attractive light Speakers generally flatter themselves with the idea that they do this, but their opinion is apt to be based either upon an over estimate of their own attainments or an under estimate of those to whom they speak, or perhaps upon both. I confess my firm faith in the dogma, "a little learn ing is a dangerous thing," especially if the thing is to be displayed on an occa sion like this, and .the older I frow the more my faith in it increases, remember that some years ago I was delighted by a witticism perpetrated by Sydney Smith, , (E believe) when he found that what he thought was an original idea of his own, was a very old one. "A plague on these vile ancients," he said, "they have stolen all our bright thoughts." I was sure that this witti cism at least was original. It certainly was a brilliant refutation of the very statement it contained, but alas I sub sequently found that more than a tbou- sand years before Sydney Smith born, Donatus had written exactly the same thing in the line: . "Pereat 1111 aul ante noe nostra dlxerant" t Solomon was, in one sense right, when he said there was nothing new under the sun, but probably he stole the re mark from some early eastern philoso pher and thereby proved that even pla gairism was not new. Unconscious pla- gairism as we all know is very common. These unhappy men who go exultingly to the United States patent office, and come away in despair and disgust; nearly every day find that out They find these old models of the new inyen tions, which they formerly cherished as their own. Fortunately for him, Chris topher Columbus died innocently be lieving himself an original discoverer, aithougn were is every reason to De lieve that he was not even the second conductor of an expedition to America. Conscious plagairism is now common. still unlike the inventions at the patent office, the author does not become dis gusted until he is found out. How, in regard to this latter offense those vile ancients to whom Sidney Smith refer red, had the advantage of ns very de cidedly. For instance, they bad no stenographic reporters, who would 8natchaman's thoughts as he uttered them, and rushing off to a railway sta tion would send them off by telegraph to a steam printing press, to be pub lished the same day. and thus become the common property ofthe public and tne subject oi criticism iot everybody in the world. An Athenian or Roman orator, could have traversed Greece or the Roman Empire, making the same speech every day, and saying something new to each audience, or he might even have stolen his speech bodily without incurring the risk of hearing some un pleasant person observe, "oh, that's old, I read it in the Daily Gladiator two weeks ago." bat how different it is with us nowadays. Gladstone makes a great speech in England, or Bismarck forges a new link in German unity, or Gambetta climbs a step nearer the dan gerous pinnacle of. power in France, or a Czar is blown up, or a New York politician, in a fit of impotent rage, saws off the high limb on which he sits between himself and the tree, and in the next morning's paper a full account of it is laid on your breakfast table. Whether mankind are any happier now than they used to be, because of these greater facilities of intercommunica tion, and the conseauentlv neater in formation which they, enjoy, J do not Know ana wm not ojscussk Knowledge is power, but it U not happiness. I have been more forcibly impressed with this truth by reading - some of the splendid essays of the great scientists of this age, recently published than I ever was before. It cannot be denied that the study of na tural science has developed tne most marvelous exhibitions of intellectual power which - the world has ever seen, it is an intellectual luxury to follow (the eoarse of reasoning, bv which men like Raymond,' Huxley, Tyndall, Spen cer, ana otners, wnose writings nave ppeaxearwitnin tne last lew years.' uraroe&iauoj; pneaomena mxne natural . world, and in sociology, to these 'tdti . mate casses. The most splendid elo-" ouence too, and the grandest variety of illustraUoa characterize these essays, but when everything is conceded what is the sum and substance of it all. and " what is the conclusion finally reached ? - It is this that the earth on which we ; live was once a ball of liquid fire; that - in ttia onnru Af Irmnmpraliln stffusiitia molten lava' on the outer surface b-1 came sufacientiyvcool to. admit of tl - existence of life; that organism of dif ferent kinds succeeded one another un fl at length the history otrman began j that man came by eyoJutlon from one " 'Of these organisms and not by a special .act of creation ; that he has reached his tpresent stage of development by virtue of his - mastery -over the s forces of nature, of in ottier " wordv by ' .means of nainral science; that indeed the history of rfatural science is the proper history of the human race, and was wnat man wui "?l-v'rI.TV plish cUimM tne earcn win grauuauj uwuio vwv and cooler in the. coutm pT num berless ages, until a ceases w do itable by man; that. the ractf will perish : that the earth win Decome an ice-ball slowly and more slowly re volving around tne sun j mat .we sua will also lose its heat entirely and final ly all will be blank. The day will come, says one of the profoundest and most brilliant of the scientists-the day will come when man no longer can say, 1 TTamArti Snn sends down his beams even onus"; a day when the earth over and over iceslad will travel sluggishly around the sun, whose nres win wen burn only with a ruddy glow; a day when first as in the beginning "light was," because then the first eye opened, so "darkness will be," because then the last eye closes, and then with cool in difference he adds, "but from this fate millions of years still separate our race," and finally he closes hispitti less argument with this characteristic observation : "A young man does not allow himself to bethwaited, either in his pleasure or in his ambition by thoughts of the infirmities of age, which await even him, or of the m- owiraMnnARH nf dA&th. SO tOO W6 8X6 little concerned about the fate that threaten a onr miimarinably remote posterity." . . . at tha tntJinfAiial man and his des tinv not one word is said. He is but an atom, a molecule in the world of humanity and therefore unworthy of o atinnfi Hp in thin in all true?

The aistinguisueu bwouwai therein nroved conclusively to himseli at least, that the bow which I just now made to vou and the tipping of my hat to a lady on the street this morning, originated not in any sense of polite- ness on my part, not from any teaching I TAPAivpd in mv vouth. not from any association with others who do the ike. but from the ancient custom oi kissing the hand of a superior, which custom originated from the habit of trat.i nor ones self before a conqueror. and that from kissing his feet, and hat from crawling before him, ana that from lying on the back and slap- ping the tnigns, (as tney buu uu iu Africal and that from wnac ao you wink?

For tha errand and enobling as well as the useful triumphs of science, how ever, we cannot' be otherwise than grateful. These triumphs have all been accomplisnea in tne last wree uu tu nes, a mere list OL.tue improvements which science has-added to domestic and social life during that period would fill a volume. There is hardly a house hold comfort, a useful machine, a beau tiful art. a commercial convenience, a medical remedy, an industrial or char itable institution method of spreading knowledge, a discovery ot any Kind which is practically useiui to man, ior wnicn we are not inueyieu iu tne sui ence of the last three hundred years. Of the vast and sublime Held it has opened to the intellectual heavens above, in the earth beneath and the waters under the earth, u is impossible to think without enthusiasm, so to sneak, except without humility Go out to night and iook at mo scarry heavens, less than three liund red1 years ago just think of it the mass- of peo ple in the world believed that these glitteriqg ppUls of light served no bet- raw tMiiinAA.v rutin t n rufi i T-r inniiii orara which sneckla the inner" domes of cathedrals that the sun and moon were only lights set in the sky foe our comfort and convenience. The theory of Copernicus was not published until 1543: the telescope was not invented until more than .50 yeara afterwards, and it was not until 48 years ago 1835 -x-that the distances of the fixed stars were accurately established. With what different eves do we now gaze upon these Bbinfsr orbs, fforn those with which our foref$ljaers looked at fchAm. and with how much creater signiflcance do the words of thesalnv ist rau upon our ears: Wfai I consider thy heavens, the work of thv fingers, the moon and stars which thou hast ordained," "What is man that thou are mindful of him, and the son of man that thou visltesthimr We know that each of those, stars is a sun like that around which the earth moves.

Turn now from the heavens whose vast ! and incompehensible won ders astronomy thus reveals, and con template the microcosms arounaana beneath us, and in them see visions as grand and extensive as any which the heavens. contain. Learn from the chemist what the molecular theory of the universe is. Here him explain that the VPtjJ tnre inhere in its molecules, or smallest particles, that all the molecules of the same substance are aosoiuteiy aura in every respect; that these molecules or smallest particles of a substance, are themselves bodies, or systems of bodies moving in space, that therefore any substance in nature a lump oi sugar for instance, or a lump of salt, or a piece of bread, is a universe of moving worlds, and that either of these sub stances would, if we could look into the molecular universe as we iook into the heavens, present to the eye very much the same picture, that the star clusters now do when viewed through the telescope.

There is still another realm beside the sky and the earth, to which seience has directed its penetrating glance, ana irom wmcn it nas wrencneuncn a puna that realm is the sea, the grandest part of our planet From the earliest ages it has been the theme of poets and philosophers. All the sublimest images of every language have been drawn from it. As the name of Co pernicus is forever conneeted with the study of as tronomy, so is the name of Maury, our Southern countryman, connected with the science of tne great deep, in prose and in verse, and analysis science has exhausted itself in describing its physi cal wonders, yet still it heaves its rest less billows mockingly and rolls on the mysterious main. It wraps in its watery mantle three fourths of the surface of the globe the continents, grand as they are, are but islands on its bosom. Islands inhabit ed by man only because the ocean sur rounds them. It is at once the origin and the reservoir of all the streams of the earth. It calls its messengers, the winds, and confiding to them its vapors, sends them to be condensed, against the mountain sides and fall in grateful rains upon the land. Thus it makes the lakes and springs and rivers, which gladdening and fertilizing the earth jn their journey, roll back again to refresh and enricn tne sea, but not to nil it, tor the process, like all the processes of na ture, is unending, and equilibrium is the law. It is tne bitter salt sea, but it sweetens and freshens the earth. Whether the estimated quantity of common salt which it holds in solution, and which is as inconceivable as the distance to the stars, be correct or not, we know that one river alone the Amazon has poured for ages and still pours onto its ail .absorbing deptns, a large volume oiiresn water witnout any appreciable effect nity miles from where it empties, it is we energetic sea, tne highest type of ceaseless labor, the soil on which we stand is the result of its work. -There is not a grain of sand or a rounded pebble anywhere, which is not the result of labor performed by water. The crust of the earth itself has been pounded into its present shape oy tne- ureiess waves, ana tney nave left upon tne tops of tne highest moun tains tne evidence or tneir worK. it is the ' wonderful sea, more wonderful now that science has unveiled so many oi its mysteries man when yron penned his magnificent apostrophe to it But though ever changing though always tne same, "Time writes no wrinkle on thine azure brow.

When you do, unless you are entirely destitute of all sentiment, it will de light your senses and elevate your spirit oeyona aescnption, ana now in conclusion let us turn for a moment to the material ocean, the boundless sea of knowledge, whose farthest shore no manner has ever reached. When in childhood I beheld one of the. large ocean shells, which the great artist has paiuLeu wuu buuu uuiuiuiuie pun, my wonder was increased when I was told that by placing it to my ear I could hear, though faintly, the thunder of the surf. Charmed with the idea I used to sit with it in that position and listen to the mysterious murmurings which whispered from its rosy lips, and vearn impatiently for the time when I should see tne great deep and near its mighty antnems singing in my ears. So like the sea shell to the nhvsir.al -uiil i ii JT x t viu ui vuuuuwu i WD wise ov oeauu- xuitnougnt oi another to the youni and generous mind. In it can belieari the harmonies of that limitless ocean oi Knowledge, wnicn compasses the mind and yields its treasures mysteri ously to every voyager who traverses its domain. That is a calm and ever peaceful ocean whose broad realm Is .undisturbed by storms, and upon which darkness never rests, for it is a region oi eternal light ana ever increasing oeauty. -Young ladies, you have launched your barks upon its waters, and the preejse to-day is fair.'

NORTH .CAROLINA H1DICALS II WASHINGTON. ..4. - e " " OaUtbat WitBl to Oct Tn, and taat Ion'( TVaut to Jet Out. To the Editor otTae Obsemr. - WASHmaTON, D.C, June 15. Last night this city was invaded by about 900 colored excursionists from Wilmington and points in North Caro- ma nortn oi tnat place, rnis is tne day for the committee of fifteen ap pointed by the Baleigh colored conven tion to wait on the .President and de mand their share of the loaves in North Carolina. It is said that this large exo dus from North Carolina to the White House is inspired by Keogh s resolu- ion in the State Republican committee to come here and demand the leading Federal offices in eastern North Caro- ina for the colored race. Those reso- utions, which created much excite ment here, you Will remember, called on the President to give the leading ederal offices in counties where the ne groes had a majority of voters, to that race, l nave talked witn a tew or their eaders to-day and they express them selves as determined to secure some of the benefits for themselves in- steadof being used by white men in their own interests. It looks as though the negroes are waking up to the fact that they might as well have some of the pickings. Tne radical Dot is boiling. North Carolina Republican office seekers are numerous, persistent and unsuccessful. J udge uuxton cries for a soft place and gets it not. Gus Moore- wants a terri torial judgeship, windy uniy Hender son has been here ever since the inau guration, looking after an office. He claims to alternate in sleeping with John Sherman and a fellow named Cramer who hails from about Thorn as ville. This is the same; Cramer who once wrote Senator- Abbott, and said that Grants brother-in-law, Cramer, with the same initials was hung up in he Senate for the mission to Denmark. and if he would only sneak him through and get him the commission he would pay him a thousand dollars. Hender son was first for Wheeler's place. He shook the treethe collectorship of the 5th district dropped, but Everett picked it up. Then the valiant colonel got af ter Douglas s place. When that matter was getting warm Oliver Doekery step ped in and asked for the marshalship of the western district. It is said Gar field promised to give him the commis sion last week. Doekery is here and says he will be appointed in a few days. Douglas is here also and seems to be under a cloud, lie applied tor funds to run the Charlotte court, and the au thorities refused point blank to give him a cent. Their action is said to be based on the bad condition of his ac counts. Canaday is here to-day declar ing he will have Douglas's scalp. It seems the State Republican executive committee at its last meeting unani mously passed a resolution asking the President to remove Douglas and ap point Doekery in his place. Douglas say j he has influence enough in Wash ington to beat ten committees; and is not sparing in his personal denuncia tion of members of the State commit tee. There seems no doubt that Tour- gee controls Garfield on North Carolina appointments, ana tnat ne nas advised the removal of all the old Grant gang in y o ur State. The President has clear ly made up his mind to take his advice. it is also whispered here that Elaine intends to get his little revenge in the old North State and that Dr. Mott is to be his first victim. The current report here is that Mott has always been vio lently opposed to Blaine and that the premier has. beep fully informed on the suujecb .pougtag wm come in ior a full share of Blaine's attention. Ike Young is said to be doomed and his decapitation will soon take, place. The Wilmington-Statesville ring have marked Albertson for punishment, and are said to be pushing Geo. L. Mabson, of Wilmington for his place. xne radicals from vour state resident here, and'those who occasionally visit here, are a unit in denouncing Garfield for allowing Tourgee to control him. xne criticisms are very severe, and foreshadow a disruption of the Repub lican party in your State. There never nas been such an evidence of discord. The leaders are all at loggerheads, and if there is anything in the signs of the umes we itadicai snake is dead. The negroes have been wanned up in the radical breast until they are ready to bite. The mania for office among them has readied a high point and Washing ton is now full of ambitious office seek ers. Garfield and Blaine are determined to punish all the Grant tod anti-Blaine men in the country, and Democrats see a walk over for the next congressional and presidential. elections. OCCASIONAL.
