FACULTY PRIZES. Two Prizes are annua~ly awarded by the Faculty, at the College Commencement in March, for the beft two Graduating Thefes prefented during the year, viz. :-a Firft Prize of Fifty Dollars, and a Second · Prize of Twenty-five Dollars. The Graduating Thefes competing for thefe prizes fhould be handed in to the Secretary of the Faculty, in the Fall, by the 1ft of September; and in the Spring, by the d1: of February. At the commencement in March, 1862., thefe prizes were awarded as follows : against it in a solid phalanx, and it was killed. '.l'bey had it in their power to pass the bill, but would not; 'ar. they defeated it, and by so doing took on themselves the consequences which follow such a defeat. Some ted of them may have hesitated1n the course they were lity taking on that occasion-but pressed on by the ul­ do trni! who required "blood-letting," the "peace C01. measures'' were thrown overboard, and our country ·ce~ swept along towards the brink of ruin. have attended two fu~ of But there was yet another chance to save the Union. Let us Ree how that was thrown away aleo. in this College. Tr The next chance for saving the Union and prevent­ ing bloodshed, was at the Pence Conference of March, cine three years, undrna- 1861. That body came together some time early in was March; it was composed of representatives from the fician, including th(!.;ni- Border States, and from the Middle, Western and • e of Northern States. The proceedingR of the conference have attained the agewas were highly honorable to the ability and patriotism • • . d had of the Border State delegates. They did what they d1date IS require tand could to save the Union. The part that Virginia . h h {iHis took in those proceedings was purely a national one, connected wit t e Cuch as everybody could see. Though suffering from the 1. t w1 . t h t h e S ecretary rds effects of the John Brown raid, she nevertheless 18u' showed herself anxious to keep the peace, whatever certificates of the · ti1a~i might be said of others. But in vain.

Students are requefted, on their arrival in the city, to call upon the Janitor, Mr. Thomas Denham, in the College Building, who will direct them to the refidences of the Faculty, and aid them in obtaining board.

"Put not•your faith in Prin ces." The ple~ge:I;haye just referred to,,hl).d scarc~­ ly been made. when m~asures were actually taken, b~ the Federal . au'thdritics,' .for doingiwhat. seemed to be the very thing which the government hail solemnly agreed not· to do: A government'flotilla was sent to Charleston harbor, somewhere,betwe£n the. tenth and fifteenth of April, 1861; and sent therefor wha~? It was sent there to accomplish a certll.in purpose­ COLU and tnat purpose was to draw tl1efire ofFort Moultrie, in occupation of Southern troops, in order that the Federal authorities, and the men who were urging them t~ "blood letting," might have the overt act they required to justify a declaration of war against EAST FOR the South. Their plan succeeded, and we were push­ ed over the brink of ruin, and plunged into the very vortex of horribly dcstructive,awfuland ruinous civil war, the entl of which no man can tell. Having done with occurrences which preceded the war, let me briefly advert to what has since taken place. The war having been inaugurated, we were told that it was to be a war for the Constitution and the Union. I deny that it has been a war for either.· This denial you will find sustained by almost every leading act of the Admini.Btration since the first blow was struck. From the moment troops were first or­ dered to Washington, in April, 1861, the Constitu­ tion has scarcely been regarded at all by the men in power. Some of their most zealous supporters more than half admit this. But, say they, the South having broken the Constitution, we are no longer bound by it. ,This confession, if it amounts to anything at all, is a virtual impeachment of their President, who has taken an oath to support, maintain and defend the Constitution ot the United Statca.. Nothing has oc­ curred, that I know of, since he took that oath, to release him from its solemn obligations. I repeat it, this has not been a war for the Constitution and the Union, but one fearfully destructive of both. Look I for a moment at the numerous violations of the Con­ I stitution, to which we have all been witnesses, in the past year, and tell me how much is there left of that instrument, or how much nearer are we to restoring the Union than the day the battle cry first went forth? Is it strange that the people of the South should hes­ itate about returning to a government which is con· tinually striking down the dearest rights of tlte citi­ zen? The moment the "war power" b<>gan to make helf felt, State RightR were set at naught. We had a daring illustration of this early in the contest, when the federal authori:ies directed the ~eizure of tele- TRUSTEES '(.

Next we had arbitrary arrests, the search of houses, and seiznre of private paperl!, without authority of the law; then came the suspen~ion of the habeas corpus; and, lastly, martial law, which is no law at all, but the will of same des­ pot, was extended over a peoplo remote from the theatre of wnr. .And es if these thingd were not enought to break wwna free people, a bill is intro­ duced into Congress, whiclr threatena to take from them what little 1s left of. t4eir libertieR. I refer to ·1 the Senate's Military bil),,,,fl!rthe organization of the militia-a bill w.hich, ifi~ s~onld become a law, would annihilate State S0ve1ei;iritr, and place our citiZCDi! nt the feet of Ex~cntive power. If, fellow-citizens, tLe spirit of your patriot fathers yet burns in your bo­ soms, your indignant remonstrance against these 9· things should be loudly proclaimed. I should be glad to say something of arbitrary ar- rests, of the imprisonment of unoffending citizens in our .AmericRn Bastiles, a dark chapter in the his­ tory of this affiicted country; but what I would say Clafs, who of these outrages must be reserved .for a future occ1t· • ation of sion. They were borne in silence a long while, and n1n the wonder is that they were borne so long as they hip during were. It seemed for a .. while Sf! if the people were ·. the re, dead, almost, to a sense of their rights and liberties, eftimonials, and incapable of asserting· eitl:.er. But they were their\\ aroused at last. , · · . Catalogues, But, sir, we might have gone on in this way, re­ have tl gardless of the tru~ condition of things, but for an­ other act of supreme f9lly, or something worse. '.l'he '\ind ar, people lay prostrate in the dust, bugging the chains· that bound them, cheated into the belief that this chastisement was for. their good," and beguiled by the falsehood that the war was not waged for the purpose of interferingwith t!le domestic institutions of the South, or the rights of the States, but for some other purpose; they_might, .I say, have gone on in this way, making any and every sacrifice for the cause, as explained to them, if jt had not been for the .Abo­ lition Proclamation of the 2:ld of September. That opened their eyes, that aroused their indignation, nnd that it is which bas done something-nay, it bas done much-towards correcting public opinion as to 8 6 I. the character and real purpose of the war. But, gentlemen, the Proclamation has not been WHITEHOUSE, WILLI, exposed, as it ought to have been. It has only been DER RICE, occasionally 'denounced, when it should have been J. H. V everywhere, often, ·and loudly rebuked. I purpose EDGER saying a few words about it before I take my seM. There are two featurlis,of it which are open to the FREDE severest condemnation., In the first place, it encour- , Ja. ROBE ages the blacks to rise and murder their masters.­ There is no getting away from this. Now I do not a;,prebend there is any great danger of such a rising of the blacks, except perhaps where the federal arms may have penetrated on some day next week, or next month,-but there is the damned licenrn to ini- tiate a geries of attrocit1es at the South which, if once begun, and it were possible they could become general, would convert that portioa of our country , into another St. Domingo. But, sir, there is another feature of it scarcely less revolting to my mind than the one just named. That feature is this: Your soldiers, many of them from 1New , worthy young men, brought up under the droppings of the sanctuary, and taught, I sup· pose, to love mercy and bate iniquity, these men formed into battailions and regiment;,, and sent South to follow their leaders wherever ordered, are forbid­ den by the Proclamation to interfere in case of ser­ vile insurrection. In other words; they are to stand with folded arms whilst the black population seek the dcstrnction of the whites. I do not believe the troops could refrain from interfering in such an emergency, but the b,irbarous decree to them is "hands off." Well, now let me ask, what is the DEGREES

* Deceafed. history ofour relations with the people ot the Muth r In the better days of the Jlepublic, they came often to re~ide amongst us, their sons and their daughters ca:ne with them to be educated. They " brought hither their genius to be kindled at our fires." Here their young men married, and with their Northern wives returned to the plantations to 3pend the rest of their days. And young men of the .North went South also, and married there, and grew to love the good people of that country, who took them by the hand, and helped put them forward iu the world.­ And let me tell you, sir, that to-day, there is probably a million south of the "invidious line," whose ances­ tors are buried in your grave-yard~, i>F whose grand­ parents or parent, and brothers and sister!!,. are re­ siding at the North. And your troops, the kindred blood still trickling in their veins;· are to be made the unwilling instrument in this game,, of- carrying ACAD into effect a proclamation of the most uncalled for and barbarous character. Sir, I have no language to characterize it as it de$erves. Thank God, New York has rebuked it; Ohio has rebuked it; and Pennsylvani'l..bave rebuked it; Illinois and Indiana have rebuked it; Iowa aud "Wisconsin have rebuked it; and in less than two months Con­ necticut will rebuke it in such tones of thunder as shall be heard from Main!\ to New Orleans. But there is one othet topic I would notice before Firft Priz quitting this subject. These despotic acts of which Second P I have epoken, and especially the last one, arejusti­ fied on the ground of "State nece8sity." This doc­ trine of State necessity was admirably exposed and torn to pieces years ago by the eloquent Senator from New Hampshire, and true patriot, the lion. Firft Prize, Franklin Pierce, since .President of the l'. nited Second Priz States. I regret "that I haYe not his speech by me, that I might, give you an extract from it, which would be more to the purpose than anythin~ I can say. The plea of State necessity, whkh is sometimes called.the tyrant's plea, has no bu,iness in the affairs of freemen. Cert.sinly, it is a plea which should never be tolerated under a Constitutional form of government. Where there is ,r written Constitution we must abide by that, or go straight to a despotism. The man, therefore, in Government affairs, who sets up any such plea as the one just named, as an ex­ cuse for acts u6t sanctioned by law, violates his oath of office; and though be may have been misled by To the moil faith bad advisers, be can't escape the consequences of Prize of $5, such an act. · I pass over the numerous infractions of the Con­ stitution, some of which I referred to only a few moments since, and take what, in some respects is the worst of all, the Proclamation of Emancipation, and ask you to look at that as it is. It presents us the military necessity of the case. Sir, it was pre­ cisely this kind of military necessity which dictated the employment of "merciless savages" to butcher your rebel forefathers. This was justified by Lord Suffolk, in the British Parliament, on the ground that the government should employ all the means that " God and nature" had put in his hands for sup­ pressing the wickerl rebellion. The indignant reply of Lord Chatham is familiar to every sci:tool-boys.- " What ideas," said the great commoner, "the no­ ble Lord may have of God and nature, I know not, but this I do know, that such sentiments as he has avowed, are equally abhorrent to religion and hu­ manity. It was some plea of this sort that laid Wyoming in ashes, and at a later day ,and within the memory of most of us, prompted the massacre of Tex­ ian prisoners a\ the Alamo. And coming down to the case before us, it is the plea of the haters of the South, who will be satisfied with nothing less than itl! destruction. It is from doctrines like these the people, without distinction of party, turn· away with undissembled horror and disgust, and seek, in the ranks of your political organization, the means of uttincr an end STUDENTS.

If ever there was a MARINUS WILLETT, Jr., time to speak out, an_dap~ plainly,no,o is that time -to-morrow may b&-.~o I.ate.

Now my conviction is,' that these HENRY DuYCKINCK Gull ·erections, of which I have spoken, mean something more than appears on the face of election returns, or in the platforms of the triumphat P,arty. They have a deeper meaning still-and if not, if I am mistaken in this-then I have no business here, and should ,take my leave of you forthwith. ·· Nay, if they have not a deeper, and better meaning, i.hanis to be found · in any special endorsement of the war policy, you may° close the map. of the Union at once, for hence­ forth it. will,ol,.!IY be wanted to find the grave of the, Republic.. ·. .. · ' But they do mean something more-something which should arouse us to a sense of present duties, ·and turn our thoughts in a new direction. I see in them the mission of the .hour. These popular upris­ ings, are not merely special in their character, but broad and general as the universal air, and sweep, as with the wings of an archangel, the vast horizon of maladministration and of horrible battle-fields. The , true meaning of this is that the people are sick of thishorrible'fratricidal war, and demand that it should be speedily terminated. I avow myself opposed to it, and ask for a cessation of hostilities. In vain pro­ test against illegal arrests and wicked proclamations, if you have got a war policy ·that justifies both. I can't for the life of me see how great wrongs are to be redressed, and the Union re established, whilst measures are oh foot which render it impossible to accomplish either on the war plan. · Now I am for redressing these wrongs, and doing what can be done for the Unioneause. / am forgetting backtl,s South­ e,·n States by fair and honorable mtans, ifsuch a tfti,;"if'be po,ssible; an<;! will hope for the best. And I want to get them back as they were.

p GENERAL STATEMENT.

HE Department of Chemifl:ry is under the di­ T reclion of Profdfor CHARLES A.JOY, Ph. D. Mr. MAURICE PERKINS, late of the Laboratories of Heidelberg and Gottingen, affifl:s in the praclical exer­ cifes of the Laboratory.

INSTRUCTION. The Laboratory is furnifhed with the befl: modern appliances for acquiring a thorough knowledge of Chemifl:ry, and the applications of this fcience to agri­ culture and the arts. The infl:ruclion is fo arranged, that each fl:udent performs the operations which are in mofl: frequent ufe in the Laboratory for the purpofes of analyfis or refearch: Every fl:udent is required to keep a note book of his operations, to be open to the infpeclion of the Profeffor and Affifl:ant, and in which the calculations and refults are recorded, with the probable reafons of failure, if the experiments are unfucceffful. · 1,'he plan of fl:udy depends upon the objecl of the fl:udent, his previous knowledge, and the time at his difpofal. It is defigned, however, to give a complete profeffional education in Chemifl:ry to fuch as may defire it. GRAMMAR .SCHOOL
