There was quite a Literary Carnhral at Chapel Hill, last week, and aa we happened tnl.e. " a looier aain Veroua," we shall briefly state the leading in cidents of the occasion. It waa the Annual Com Brnceraent of the College, and we will premiie, that I lie Eierciaea were attended by a very numerous au ditory, embracing aome of the moat distinguished cit izens ef the State. The number of Trustees, too, in attendance, waa unusually large. It if gratifying to that each succeeding vear imparts lo I his interesting celebration a fresh degree of attraction a circumstance, indicative of au improved tone of feeling, which promises the most auspicious results to the State. The public Exercises, which commenced on Mon day, were contiaued on each day, until the afternoon of Thursday Oa Monday night, the Valedietory Sermon waa delivered by the Rev. E. M. Foaa, of Newbern, which ara did not hare the Dleasure of hearing, but which is spoken of in high terms of praise. On Tuesday afternoon , Rev. F. M. Hoa'aaan, of Newbern, delivered an address on the Life and char acter of Sir Walter Rlbioii. We did not arrive either, to hear this effort, but all who did, Concur in representing it aa a most chaste and finished per for aiance, replete, with historical information, aud af fording strong evidence of great labor and research. Oa Tuesday night, the following gentlemen, selec ted from the Freshman Class, declaimed before a large auditory, t'is : 1. Bbyn WitrrrigLD, (Demnpoli. Ala.)

Oa WedneaJay morning at 11 o'clock, the Ananal Address waa delivered before the two Literary So cieties by R. F. Moose, Eaq. of Halifax, and occu pied just one hour in the delivery. The topics of the Addrest were diversified, but we shall not be wide of the mirk, if we state its subject to have been "The high claims of the University on her sons for cultiva ting Truth and universal juatice." "The Address presented litany bold. and original views, and abounded Ihrooghout with the cogent reasoning, apt illustration end high-toued patriotic feeling, for which its author is distinguiahed. Though decidedly of the practical tder.it was occasionally lighted up by flashes of true eloquence, worthy both th subject aud the occasion. When published, this Address will attract public at tention. At 4 o'clock in the aflernooa, there was a meeting oftheAixMMi Association, at which, interestins Biographical Sketches of saeh Alumni, aa have died daring tbe year past, were read by different gentle- sea. : Ex Governor Mobchiao, who is President of the Association, alee addressed the body in a Speech; tbe matter aqd manner of which were worthy of the well-established reputation of its distinguished, au tbe. We happen to knew that, four days. Wore the delivery of this Address, pea had not been put upon paper, m relation te it subject-matter. And, yet, for useful information, graphic delineation, highly seasoned wit and humour, it has not been our lot to witness a happier effort.

Oa th whole, th situation ef the Uoivereity waa never more prosperous;' and our earnest wish is, that it may continue to flourish yet more and more, year ly to send forth from its walls a detachment of educa ted men, to bless and adorn our highly favored country. FOR THE FOURTH OF JULY. Wiijon tk Co. of New York, have sent u a copy of their great Pictorial Jubilee Number of the Bro ther Jonatuasj. The Engravings in it are splendid, and no mistake. The Capture of Major Andre, and iiia Execution, (two large original designs,) cannot be surpassed in beauty and spirit, Tho Portraits of the Eleven Presidents of the United States are well done in fact, all the embellishment are of the first order. The price of this stupendous pictorial News paper is only 12 J cants per copy. Copies can be Ob tained on application te th Agent in this City, viz. Wau Whit, Jr. "TJ The Britannia, which sailed from Boston on the 1st, had amoug her passengers th Hon. R. M. Saunders of North Carolina, bearer of despatches ; Ren J. V. Himes of Boston, and Rev. Messrs. Scott of New Orleans and Smythe of South Carolina, Mis sionaries. XT The Union replies, warily and cautiously to Mr. Benton's denunciations of the 54 41P men The Union says, " Is th Senator certain that' it I not himself who is under the mutate, when he al lege that othem are willing to risk a war with Eng land under any gross mistake? We content ourselves with most respectfully proposing 'Ji qnery. W leave it to time itself lo supply the solution. The honorable Senator ha already made mistakes enough of his own, (we do not charge them as committed by design." roa the iRcrsT-' j WHY DID HE NOT VOTE 1. Mr. SncrABD excused himself from voting ob tb , Rail Road matter laat Session, hecaatt he """ Stockholder. lie could not vote in favor of the Road, directly, because such vote would be in favor ef las own interests. Rut, pray, if he was so horribly op posed to Rail Roads as he now wishes the people to, believe, why did he not yote againtt the Rail Road, and againtt hit otes interettt ? It might h4 been not very delicate to vote in his own favor, belt there would surely have been no indelicacy in voting against himself. If he is noie sincere, why, in the nam of wonder, did he not then assume a lofty position, and sacrifice himself and his five thonsand'dollare on the altar of patriotism ? Why did he nt then come out like a man, and say, " true, I own five thousand dol lar of thi Stock, but I am too patriotic lo be iway ed by my private interests, when the Slat calls for the sacrifice. This Road is rotten, insolvent, corrupt I vote against it in all forms." Did U do so? Ah .' did he ? So far from it, h tMktd out ef the scrape, and would not vole at all. This was poor and pitiful dodging, in on who feels so distressingly patriotic, now the thing is all over, and can't be helped. But, the beauty of th joke is, that this fastidiou young man, who turns up the whitas of his eyes so aauctiinouioualy at Rail Roads and other Corporations, has been connected with Rail Roads and Hunks, ev er since he cut loas from tlie apron-striog, until a fow months ago, when he made a family arran jonienl with the Editor f Ihe " Staudard," who generously took upon his own shoulders the responsibility of ow ning this odious Stock. It could nftt, perhaps, hurt him. This shrewd financier, cunningly i his fifty Sharea to his co-partner of the " Staudard," after the Road was declared, by Act of Assembly, utterly in solvent, and directed to be sold for its debts; and when, aa Mr. Shkpa rd himself says, the whole Road and all its appurtenances, Was not worth a dollar when, certainly, the Stock ittelf was irredeemably worth lass. This waa a precious time, of a truth, to tell Rail Road Stock ! Why was it sold at all? What was it worth ? What did he get for it? Ah ! is Ihe shrewd young man tkulking again? "he Act of 1838-9 haa au awful squinting at retpontihility, en the part of those Stockholders who might be such, at the time the default of the Company should be as certained. This difficulty was firt ascertained and declared in the Session of 1844-5, by the report of Mr. Chrrrv, and confirmed by the aubsequent action of both Houses. Many people believe that those Stockholders ere still liable. Did Mr. Shepard intend to ahuffle himself out of this dilemma, by tranferring bis Stock to the " Standard" ? If that tale of Stock was made before Mr. Shepard firat aspired to be a Go veruor, or some olher great thing, wa it made only to escape from this liability I Wa it an attempt weak euough, lo be sure to chisel the Old North State. ? If this talt was made after he wanted to be GoArnor, did the 'cute young gentleman have an additional reason, and do it, that he might ride the Rail Roads, and Gov. Gbahau, on their account, and shake himself, and aay " I have ue interest in Rail Roads not I !" We ask again Why did not Mr. PirtrARD rote in the last I,egilat.Hre againtt the Rail Road? Why did he not speak against it ? Why did he not mount it, and give it Hlanner or goss, or the "obsequies of Revolutionary sacrifice," or some other dreadful thing, instead of quarreling with, it now, when quarreling cannot mend the matter ? We also ask, if that tale of Stock be not a queer business transaction between him and his copartuer of the " Staudard" ? It leads to serious reflections. PAUL PRY. roa tup. register. Mr. Gales : I see that the last Standard, noticing Mr. SiiirABo's visit to Hillsborough, says, that " his speech produced a fine effect. The Whig leaders, we understand, were so alarmed for their sinking cause by his powerful arguments, and by his strong array of charges against Gov. Graham, that they called upon Mr. Reade, of Person, to reply, who de clined to do so." True, indeed, Mr. Editor, Mr. S. did declaim th Hillslwro' upwards of an hour and a half. Tis also true, that he had a 'strong array of charges against Gov. Graham,' but he utterly failed to prove them, all hie 'conclusive' proofs tiling upon uncertain ' iV and suffice it to say that he entirely failed to sub stantiate them: Mr. Rkaur was called for, and de clined answering him, thinking, I suppose, that his harangue was so weak and pusillanimous, as to be a waste of words to reply to it. Wednesday evening our gallant Graham arrived. Thursday afternoon he addressed the citizens of Orange in an able au eloquent address, ' uf temper,' in which he fully and clearly refuted the falsehoods nlleired airainat him bv his onoonent. After Gov. 0. had spoken. Mr. 8. attempted to renlv- But suffice it to say, that it waa much like his former speech, in which he represented Gov. G. to hare said things which be denied ever to have said. Hi whole speech waa quite a bombast. To-use a homely say ing, he was completely used up, and nearly demolish ed. At time Gov. G. cut the would betiovernor so uWp, that he could not conceal his chagrin, and would color up far above his eye-brows. Mr. S. gained no credit, and will lose several democratic votes in Hillaboro' on account of hi speech there, whose names I could mention if it were necessary Gov. G. was interrupted several times while speaking by applauses, but Mr. S. was applauded only once, and that when he sat down. " Sic trantit gloria mui'idi."- Probably this is the fiue effect that the Standard alluded to. Th day after the speaking, a good and respecta ble Democrat entered Mr. 's Office, and said that " The Democratic Central Committee ought to be presented for attempting to kill the Democratic party" by selecting Mr. S. to run as Candidate for Governor. I understand that the Standard has challenged Liov. G. to meet Mr. S. in th Western- part of the State, now it seems to me that if the Standard wishes to give Mr. 8. aome wholesome advice, it had better be this, beware and never meet that Graham. -' - ' PHILO. IT WILL DO ! Every Clerk in one of the principal mercantile houses f this town, and every Printer, two except ed, hav volunteered in th Company now forming net. ' Tho speak the Salisbury (S. C.) Watchman. We may remark that, a a class, the Printers are al ways among the foremost in enterprizes involving toil and peril. They fail not lo make au impression wherever they go, and tbe Mexicans will find thm ready in all tquabbUl to juttify their actions by Ihe rule of right. If that will not auwer, a batltratiun will certainly fellow. COSGRESS. SENATE-TUESDAY, Jane 2, 1816. After the presentation of petitions and the dis posal of several trifling; matters, Mr. wis, from tbe Finance Committee, reported two resolutions, which sern adopted. They call upon Ihe Execu tive for information aa to the probable amount of receipt for the present year, whether an altera tion of the tariff or a loan will be necessary, and if so, in what shape it had better be negotiated ; also, the probable coat of a vigorous prosecutiou of the wr.whh Mexico, togNlier with all other iniormauon nearmg on t lie subject. Mr. Houston called tin hi resolution irivinff ; tlianki to our nrmy, and providing for the presen-! tatiOH of a sword to Gen. Taylor, And rno'ion to refer to the Military Commit tee prevailed. Mr. Haywood presented the proceedings of a largo meeting held at Raleigh, N. C, relative to Lite Mexican war. The 'Senate then resnmed the consideration nf fM Oregon f j'uirisdieiion bill. A motion f of Mr. fli'MoiT to refer the'bill to the Judiciary Commit tee, having prevailed, the question was now on the instruct ion lo the Committee, inoved by Mr. Benton. They request the Committee to report a plan for a temporary government of Oregon, etc. After some brtef remarks from Mr. Webster, 1he Hoot waa takeu by M r?-Crittendftri, who moved to lay the instructions" on the table. Tho nioTiou prevailed. : The Senate then weM into Executive session. HOUSE. OK REPRESENTATIVES. The House wenkinto Committee of the Whole, and resumed the consideration of tho Supple mental War Bill. It authorizes tha appoint ment of tiv'o Major Generals aud four Brigadier GeneraN. Mr. G. Davis complained that the bill was hurried through with unnecessary hnste. He thought the war was now near its close, and in hia opinion, there was no necessity for an in crease of Generals, unless it was for tha purpose of suspending General Taylor. Mr. BrinkerliofT, one of the Military Commit tee, said that the only obicct he had in reporting the bill, Waa to make Genural Taylor a Major Genera). Mr. Davis said General Taylor was just as competent to conduct the war, aa if he were inailo a Major General, He then proceeded to argue, that the course pursued by the President in placing General Taylor iu his position on tho frontier with so few men, was ceusurable, and that Mr. Polk waa entitled to no credit for the recent victories. SENATE. WEDNESDAY, June 3,- 1940. Mr. Dix, from Committee on Commerce, re ported the House bill for allowing drawback on goods imported from British North American Provinces, without amendment, and recommended its' passage. Also, from Ihe Military Committee, ropnrted the bill concerning ihe Pay Department of the Army as amended by the Jlmise, and recommend, ed by instruction of the Committee, that the amendment of the House bo not concurred with. Mr. Benton explained that the amendment of the House'made these offices temporary instead of permanent ; there Wasalroady a law providing for the appointment of temporary Paymasters, but the Committee thought that the distant posi tion, and increase of the Army roquired that they should he permanent. The Senate agreed with' tlirjjr Committee. Tho resolution making certain inquiries of the President in reference to the provision of means for prosecuting the existing war, was taken up. The amendment proposed by Mr. Crittenden was agreed to, and tho resolution passed without debate. On motion of Mr. Dix. a committee of confer ence with the Mouse on the disagreement con. reriiing i lie Paymaster bill, was ordered, but af terwards re-considered because the papers were said toic in the ofher House. The Senate tltefi adjourned. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Imrncdmiely following the reading and appro, va) of the Journal, the rules were 'suspended and tho House went into Committee of the Whole, (Mr. Trhhalts in the Chair,) and resumed the further consideration of the Supplementary War Bill, entitled "an act lo provido for the prosecu tion of ihe war butween the United-Slates and the Republic of Mexico, and for other purposes." At 'J o'clock the committee proceeded to vole upon the pending amendments, and numerous other which were lubsequently olfbrcd. The first section of the bill was so amended as to reduce the number of Major Generals from two to one, and Brigadier Generals from four lo two. The Committee finally rose and reported the bill to the House, where no action waa had upon it, a motion to adjourn prevailing at hall-past 4 o' clock. SENATE. THURSDAY, JUNE 4, 1S4G. Mr. Cass rose to introduce an important resn. lulion, aud prefaced tho same with a brief expla nation. Ho said that General (laities, without authority of law, had recently called into service, at various times, forces to the amount of 12,(XI0 men, already devolving upon the Government an expenseof $100,000, and thi has been done while Gen. Taykw had'pow he might deem necessary, and liad actually called for 4000 troops. Mr. C. (hen read the various orders issued by Gen. (J. with their dates, and he6mers he had appointed, quartermasters, commiewaries, captains, &.c, Aic. The resolution call upon the President for information in Ihe premises whether any vol unteer or militia had been called into public service without authority of law, eVc. Messrs. Archer and-Morehead alted some questions. Mr. Casa did riot know when the Government first had cognizance of Gen. G's. acts, but sta ted that Gen. Gaines had been ordered to Wash ington. Mr. Sevier waa about to say something in defence of Gon. G., when the resolution waa laid over. On motion of Mr. Lewis, the Post Office Ap- propriation bill waa taken up. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. The special order was postponed until th sup plemental War Bill could be disposed of. They then proceeded te vote upon the amend Toema tohfr biH reported frow ttw on,mta of the Whole. To reduce to one Major Genera! concurred in yea 107, nay 64. To reduce to two Brigadier Generals, con curred in yeas 108, nay 63.

No officer in the army not actually engaged in prosecuting and carrying on hostilities against the public eneiny more than eight ration per day, was adopted 87 to 81.

Jours, in a late debato in the House on our foreign Bllairs, spoko of the army as " led on by Mr. Polk," and several times repeated the expression, What is the meaning of this! Does Mr. Jones intend the people shall believe that Mr. Polk leads the troop into battle? To be sure he does ; and. tin is political tact, not moral faltehimd. Mr. Polk is thus made a lien oral, to answer the purpose of the next cam paign. But any attempt rti add to Mr. Polk's fame or glory by this war of his. will he in vain. Many of his own poople execrate him lor his folly and madness in bringing on a war which could have been avoided. Mr. Jones likened Mr. Polk to Oirsnr, Napo leon and Cromwell, who all wero suro to con quer, when they led their troops in person. And, saya this verarimis statesman, " May that he ihe fate of the armies led on by Mr. Polk." MV. I'olk ia very much lilio the three persons named above ; but only in a fow particulars.

About ten year ago a lunatic, of Monticcllo, in that State, was ent by hi fami ly lo tho luoaticasyltim at Ixingtnn. On his arrival at that institution, or shortly afterwards he appeared so calm and rational that the super intendent or managers sent him home. At home ho became violent, and his family determined to dispose of him so that he should trouble them no longer. Accordingly, they built near their oivrir residence a very email and atrong block house, and around that another, thin making a double block houso. They loft a narrow opening, through which they thrust (he lunatic, and when ho was in, (hey built up the opening, leaving a orifice just large enough to admit of his fond be ing extended to him. And in (hat horrid priion, for ten long years of heat and cold, tho wretch ed lunatic has beon kept by hi own family, with no bed clothes, no lire, and no hope, except through the gale of dealh.
