It is the combination of mental and phjpical discipline, that constitute, the peculiar excel-1 lence ot tnisinsuwaon ; ana jou, gouueiucu, have now reached that period in life, when re flection and experience cannot fail to teach you, how to appreciate that self-denial on the one hand, and that self-reliance on the other, which you may have regarded in the early part of your course, as the hard and cruel exactions of an unrelenting discipline. Often, no doubt, have you wondered, when mounting guard in incle ment weather ; wjien" performing in the bar racks those duties, which,' in domestic life, per tain to menial hands ; when partaking of that plain but substantial fare, which expenencehas proven to be most promotive of physical vigor, and conducive to health ; when debarred from the privilege of roaming at pleasure amid this u u..,..vqw --b r scenery of beauty and grandeur that surround. you. so temptingio the buoyant heart of youth; when complying with the requirement, of that rigid etiquette, so indispensable to military dis ciplineoften, I say, have you no doubt won dered why you should be debarred from those enjoyment, known to the son. of luxury and of ease.

You will then be the better enabled to appre ciate the trials and difficulties of those to whom your country entrusted your education ; how they have viewed with pride and pleasure your proficiency and good conduct, add how their hearts have been rent with pain, in being com pelled to visit with their disapprobation yoor aberration, from the line of duty. Instead of looking on them as hard task-masters, you will wonder at their generous forbearance, and your heart, will swell with gratitude and affection tot those men, who laid the superstructure of your usefulness and your fame, upon such a olid and enduring foundation. And when, hereafter, in the discharge of your professional duties, whether in the military service of your country, or in the pursuit, of civil life, you shall be subjected to hardship and endurance, whether bivouacing in the enemy', country, er defending our own flag on our own soil whether exposed to the privation, of garrison duty, on our extended frontiers, or to the dan gers of savage warfare, amid the solitudes of our western forests whether exposed to the pestilential fevers of our Atlantic coast and al luvial streams', or pioneering the way of civili sation over our rugged mountains whether Buffering from the pangs of .hunger and thirst on distant marches, or endhring the tedium and inactivity of life in camp whether called to erve your country amid the snows of Wiscon sin, the burning sands of Texas, the vast plain. . of Minnesota and Nebraska, or the sonrea and defile, of California and Oregon your memo ries will recur with pleasure and delight to your euooiDey uays at w est iroint, wnere you were taught those habits of self-denial and self-dependence, which enable you to battle with the elements, and which nerved vour mrm mnA m. boldened your hearts for a conflict with tie trials 1 oi a Midlers life. in the course of my observation in the die- - charge of my duties here.

So that you see, gentlemen, the occasion, if properly considered, speaks to all and each of Joa, the same language of encouragement and ope the same incitement to "deeds of high and noble daring." You from this day, enter on that career of usefulness, to which your coun try has called you, and for which it claims your f;nius, yourattainments and your moral worth, he other collegiate institutions of the country teach an education merely preparatory to the study of profession. Here you have, in four short yean, received not only your education, but your profession too. You have performed Herculean labors, I admit, but yet your task of uefulnese hasjjtat coasmoaeed. Yea will soon be called on to apply practicallv and for useful ends, either in the military or civil line of your r. : .i " profession, those great nrineinlea of mathema tical andjsoienttfic deduction, the technicalities of which may have often putxled you, and the uses of which you have, no doubt, often wonder ed at in yrfur hours of study ; Wit the impor tance of which will burst upon your minds in striking force and exhilarating beauty in the practical detail, of your profession, it is your good fortune to live in an age, the peculiar i . ... m t - ?. characteristic of which marks the dominion of mind over matter. In order to . control matter efficiently, an acquaintance with the unchang ing laws that govern the whole material irorld is indispensable.

It is from the charts and drawings of the topographical engi neer, that, in extended operations, the comman der is enabled to exercise that wonderful cotp d'cril which often terminates a campaign by some striking coup de main. How forcibly ex explified this was in the campaign which ter minated at Waterloo. NaDoleon saw with the inspiration of genius, thatQuatre Bras was the key to the campaign. Hence Napoleon's posi- tive orders to Ney to seise this position at the earliest possible moment, and to hold it at all hasards. But Wellington also saw the same thing: hence his orders, issued from the ball room of the Duchess of Richmond, for his troops to concentrate on vjuatre eras, not by divisions, but by battalions, by companies, and j - :": i i .!: v nri ujtisious, uu uj "j Z. a n.A v.nni.nn.

Or if, perchance, some of you may possess a spark of that "fare di vine," which placed a Raphael, a Corrcgio, a Titian, a Vandyke, among "the few immortal names that were not born to die," what a field you have before you ! How many heart-stir ring subjects in our colonial and revolutionary history are there yet to be immortalized on can vass subjects calculated to arouse your pat riotism as well as fire your genius. Who would not rather have the enduring fame of him un- der whose instruction you have sat, whose genius speaks from the canvass in the great picture of the Jbmbarkation of the Pilgrims, which adorns the rotundo, than all the epheme ral notoriety which is effervescing in the two ends, of the national Capitol ? And so, gentlemen, in regard to all the other great branches of science which you have been taught here, their object is to make you use ful to your country and to your fellow-men. I wish not to be misunderstood. I do not desisro to proclaim war against the graces and the orna ments of life. Jfar from it. ihe graces and the ornament, of character are in most of the relations of life, a component part of the useful Mere manner is more important now than in the days of chivalry, in proportion to the substitu tion of moral for physical force, in controlling the destinies of men and of nations. A proper regard for the courtesies and amenities of life, is not only indispensable to the character ot a gentleman, but also to the application of high mental and moral worth to the publio good. Humanity, generosity, moaesty, in snort an tne private virtues knowu to social life, are especial ly the province of the soldier, and should serve as handmaids to his usefulness and fame. Whatever reknes the feelings, purifies the heart, and elevates the conceptions, appertains to the useful. It is a mistaken idea to suppose, that severe discipline in mathematical and scientific deduction, is either designed or calculated to render the heart callous or the feelings crabbed There ia nothing in it inconsistent with the raoBt aensitiverefinement, and the most tender and poe tic sentiments. Far be it from me then, to wish to disnel that poetry of feeling, that halo of hope and of iov. which beams in Your hearts and glows in your faces. I would not, if I could. deface that cdtew de rose tint with which it is I . . - ii .L. r.. -c i:r. the nature of youth to paint the future of, life, on first entering on the duties of manhood. There is enough in the associations connected with this spot, to kindle the fire, and excite the enthusiasm of youthful feeling in your .bosoms. Here you have for four years been treading on classic ground. There is here a moral lesson, a poetic idea, connected with- almost every ob- I ject that greets your vision. This gran !" ii ..i d and imposing scenery is well calculated to elevate our conceptions "through nature un to nature's God," and to excite your reverence for Ilim, who "fashioned the everlasting hills." The olacid stream that runs at your feet, on whose bosom floats the commerce of an empire, tells you of the greatness and wonderful resources of that country, whose flag and whose honor you have to defend. One of the most striking incidents of our -revolutionary history is here brought for cibly to bur minds. The delivery of this post to our British foes, might have prolonged for years that war of freedom. The history of Ar nold, whose former dwelling is within the scope of your vision, cannot fail to teach you that genius, and bravery, and public service, with out kicrh mnnl ri noinla mrA at.m nAvsvtaA. dutv. are as "aoundimr hnuu." mom ..in unrl I 7 -n - i empty possessions that ...

The ruins of old Fort Putnam, which overlook your daily parade, and of old Fort Clinton, with in the limit of your evening walk, cannot fail to suggest to yoa the hardy endurance and daring valor of Our revolutionary fathers, within whose rude fortifications was often recited the story of their country's wrongs, and which, as long as tbey are spared by tunc, are ever retain die g us T " - - r ' . tt.-- f mt he- haunt, must suggest: to :yoa now oin. wucu -"""-C 7 -.V ... r " ant silver Hudson rolling beneam "10' "Cl at the'tbought of his country'. falUand looked forward to the time when young America, tnen struggling for freedom, woald causathe tyrant, of thVearth to tremble.

All these rewards you have won, by your constancy, your perseverance, your da- voiion 10 uuiy. auu jrei, uugui w v how of hone, that spans the firmament of your future, I ought perhaps to remind you, that you will not always find the pathway ot lite strewn with roses. Trial and difficulty, disappointment and sorrow, are the common lot of all the sons of men. Success, and henor, and tame in every relation of life, are only to be attained by pay ing the price of fortitude, of patience, ana oi toil. The curse of man's first disobedience, that "in the sweat of his brow he should eat his bread," is the condition, upon which success is promised, in every human pursuit. And, al though you may not have to "till the ground" with your hands, literally, yet you will find, that every blessing which rroviaence nas voucu safed to man, is upon the condition of some cor responding sacrifice. The rewards of honor and of glory in this life, no less than those of the Christian's triumph, are to boYeached by a con stant struggle with the elements ot evil by "fighting the good tight" ot duty, ana seeping . - . .... he ruth" ot principle anu oi ru, UlUULlt 111 VjUIILCIVV ' V uu .1 w a. vV - - ness, its cunning, its deceit, us jealousy, iuj envy, and the ttiousanu otner "ins inai neon is heir to. beware or the reaction oi suaueniv waking up to the sad realities of l;fe.

Such is the moral dispensation under which we now live. It is related of Pla to, that on being told some one had said he was a verv bad man. the Philosopher replied, "I shall take care so to live, that- nojjodywirl' be-, lieve him." If perchaace, slander should here after assail ypu and you may reasonably cal culate that it will, if yu make for yourselves names and positions in the world live it down by the rectitude of your lives, till its authors shall hang their heads in shame. If "it needs be, that offences must come, be sure to avoid the "wo, pronounced against those from whom they "do come." kspecially, let me admonish vou to make hon or your polar-star, as you journey on, along the pathway of lile. Worship honor, with the idol atry of the Parsee for the rising sun. I speak not ol that conventional honor, that is tbe crea ture of fashion. I speak not of that sensitive impatience under real or imaginary wrong, which, in the days of chivalry, called for in stant atonement in heat of blood, or which, in more modern times, resorts to the turns and chances of diplomacy and skill, for obtaining advantage in personal conflict. I speak not of that kind of honor, that is more afraid of the fibes oi the censorious man ot uumg uijusuce. speak of that kind of honor, that shrinks from every thing low and mean, as the sensi tive plant does from tho touch. 1 speak of that kind of honor, that plants itself upon the plat form of integrity and truth, and which dares to be right and to do justice, tor rignt ana jus tice sake, regardless of the passing influences of the day. Suffer not the uniform of your country to be tarnished by any act, that can bring reproach upon your names, jjei me ea gle on your button be emblematic of your con duct, as it is of your country's pride. Let your thoughts and your aspirations soar aloft in the pure and etneriai regions oi nonor, integrity and truth, far above the low impulses and vulgar prejudices of ignoble souls. The Crusader, when starting to the holy land, with his sword belted around him by the lady of his love, took not a more solemn vow on the -altar ot honor, than that, in which you this day consecrate your lives to the service of honor and your country. The sword of yoor country is itself the very livery of honor. And whether it shall in your hands, drink deep of the blood of the enemies of your country, or whether its hilt shall ever continue un wreathed with the garlands of peace whether after the carnage of battle, or in the quiet evening of life, let it be returned to its scabbard without a single stain cf dishonor up on its blade. You will thus be enabled to pre serve it for your children, and hand it down an heir-loom to yottT "posterity, as the living wit ness of the valor and virtue of an honored sire ! An American officer has a high responsibili ty resting on him, unknown to that of any other nation in the civilized world. In other nations, having large standing armies, their strength and power are mainly physical, depending up on numbers. There the want of the morale is compensated for in the physique. In our coun try, where neither public opinion nor necessity countenances 1-irge standing armies in time of peace, our officers constitute the true element of our strength. This is strictly in accordance with the character of our free institutions, Our institutions being founded in, and depending I for their duration on, the affections of the peo pie, we rely in the conscious security of our strength, on tbe patriotism ot tbe masses, as the element of physical force. But as mental and moral cultivation are not weeds of natural growth, we must rely upon the professional elevation of our officers, as the main bulwark of our strength, in order to make our physical force effective, when the hour ot crisis comes lany striking illustrations of the truth of this were afforded by tbe incidents of the late war with Mexico. Mere daring and undisciplined valor could encounter danger, confront batte ries, and cover fields with the slain. But it was soon discovered that reckless exposure in the field constituted no evidence of fitness for command. It was for the eye of science to dis cover at a glance the pivot points ot battle, to calculate with precision how great expenditure of life was necessary to effect the desired ends. and to know when the calls of mercy required the hand of havoo to be stayed. - There was not On the (round at Wast Point is ft handsome mow um rat erected to tbe memory of Koadnako, and also one to Major vaae ana nie mnuwnes. w evernangmg m mm 1m a rock. connected with which is a lefend, that It was the tavorite retting place oi ine rouih nero. innm ni nii have I j Kat reflection of the nation y we ub t..MM their claims.

Yes, gentlemen, what a high hv the blood of our revolutionary fathers to defend the soil watered with their blood, and in which repose their honored dust. To you is entrusted the honor of that flag, which has floated in triumph over so many fields of car nage ; and rather than suffer it to trail in dis honor, you should swear by the ashes of your sires that you will find your winding-sheets in its folds. Next to liberty, let me admonish you to love and reverence this Union. As an American, you can have but one country that country is the Union of these States, a. symbolized by the stars and stripes. In order to preserve our freedom at home, and maintain our position abroad, these States, like the Graces, as repre sented by the ancients, should ever remain en twined by the arms of affection, in harmonious support of each other. Cultivate your love of the Union, then, as a sentiment. Without it, liberty itself can be contemplated only as an abstraction. 'Tis this which gives us our in dentity among the nations which enables the American to walk erect in foreign lands, with the proud consciousness of a title, scarcely less prized than that of Roman citizen, in Rome's most palmy days. 'Tis this, which carries our flag in triumph over every sea, and which is the beacon of hope to the oppressed in every land. Under its fostering care and protection, we have subdued a continent from the dominion of sav age solitude, and carried the blessings of civil ization, science, religion, liberty, and law, from ocean to oeean. Let it be preserved, andwhose heart does not swell with the rapture of patrio tic pride, as he contemplates our future des tiny? Destroy it, and whose gaze is strong enough to pierce the dark future that lies be yond? At what shrine shall we worship, to what Mecea shall we turn, when the dome of that temple, whose Doric pillars rest on the Alleghanies and the Rocky Mountains, that is now bathed in hues of living light, shall bo shrouded in perpetual darkness? What Amer ican soldier can, without horror, contemplate that future, when he must snatch the eagled button from his coat, break, in despair, that sword which he received for his country's de fence, and be compelled to exclaim, in the ago ny of his soul, "alas, I have no country left I" Next to the injunctions of Holy Writ, study, reverence and maintain the constitution of your country. Upon its broad and deep foun dations the fabric of our Union and our free dom rests. No less sacred should it be in your affections, than was, in the hearts of the Athe nians, the fabled Palladium, which they sup posed to have fallen from Olympus, as the pe culiar gift of their tutelary Goddess. The con stitution was the gift of a heroic ancestry. Let it be your pride and your duty to maintain and defend it. Let it be preserved pure and unim paired, and the fabric of our free institutions, resting on this firm base, may occasionally be jarred by foreign violence or domestic discord yet, like that "house," spoken of in the para ble, which "was founded on a rock," it will still stand firm and secure, defying the "floods and storms" of the political elements. The dying appeal of Galgachus to the ancient Britons was "Think of your country, think of your pos terity." Should it ever be your destinies to fall in defence of your country's rights and liberties, let your dying appeal to your com rades be "Strike for the constitution, which we received from our fathers strike for the Union, the last refuge of our hopes." In conclusion, gentlemen, let me admonish you to cultivate a holy reverence for the Christian re ligion. I speak not of it as it is expounded in creeds, or taught in sectarian schools, but in reference to those moral precepts and everlast ing truths, which paint as with a 6unbeam, the duty of man to God and his fellow-men. I do not speak of it in the sense in which the Phar isee practised obedience to the Mosaic ritual of regularly paying tithe of "mint, anise, and cummin," and neglecting the " weightier ' matters of the law ; but in its comprehensive injunction of the duty of man, to "work justice, love mercy, and walkvhumbly before God." I would not underrate the philosophy of the an cients but compared with the sermon on the mount, it is all Cimmerian darkness, compared to the blaze of the mid-day sun. The Christi an religion is the great civilizer of the world the subduer of tbe passions, the refiner of the sentiments, the comforter of the afflicted, the rewarder of the just, the teacher of those sub lime virtues, which approximate man most nearly to the Author of his being. It not only tell, us our duty to our fellows and our God, but it teaches us the true secret of patriotism, the condition of national greatness and re nown. It enforces in its precepts, the great moral lesson which history has inscribed in letters of light upon the ruins of past ages, and the crumbling monuments of fallen dynasties that "righteousness exalteth a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people." The Reporter for the "New York Herald," in his letter giving a general account of the exercises on the occasion of the above Address, says that there "is a beautiful painting by Mr. Weir over the pulpit m the chapel, representing the "Genius ot America," with these words in large letters- The speaker pointed to it in the conclusion of his address, and tne enect was most stirring. Mr. Rayner's manner of 'delive ry is very effective, and it is seldom that any production is received with such unanimous and enthusiastic favor. It seemed, as the doctors sometimes say, "to go to the right spot." Im mediately after the applause had subsided, at its conclusion, Col. Lee stepped up to Mr. Ray- ner and remarked : "Sir, my only regret on this occasion is, that I permitted the furlough class to leave without hearing the noble senti ments that you have expressed." A dozen per sons were trying at the same time to get hold of the speaker's hand, to congratulate him. In short, the speech was a most decided hit," Strayed, ON the 22d May, a light Bat Ma&x Mcxk, black mane and tail, with a small black streak across her withers.

To Professor Hoi&owat : ' ? : Sir : Your Pills and Ointment have stood the highest on our sale Hst of Proprietary Medicines, for some years. vA customer, to whom I can refer for any enquiries, desires me to let you know the particulars of her case. She had been troubled for years with a disordered liver, and bad diges tion. On the last occasiqn,"however-, the virulence of the attack was so alarming, and the inflamma tion set in so severely; that doubts were enter tained of her not being able, to bear up under it fortunately she was induced to try your Pidlls, an she informs me that after the first, and each suc ceeding dose, she had great relief. She continued to take them, and although she used only three boxes, she is now in. the enjoyment of perfect health. I could have sent you many more cases but the above, from the severity of the attack, and tbe speedy cure, I think, speaks much in favor of your astonishing Pills. R. w. KIRKUS.

For some years I suf fered severely from a pain and tightness in the stomach, which was also accompanied by a short ness of breath, that prevented me from walking a bout. I am 84 years of age, and notwithstanding my advanced state of life, these Pills have so re lieved me, that I am desirous that others should be made acquainted with their virtues.
