On last Sabbath evening, we had the pleasure of hearir.'r tlio Baccalaureate address delivered to the Senior Class of Indiana College by President Wylie. It would be vain in us to attempt to do this address any thing like justice, and were wc competent to the tusk, it would be unnecessary, for his fame as a speaker and sound reasotier is already well established. But before clo:ing this brief notice, we connot helpoC.xprcssing our admiration of the mild, impressive and paternal manner in which ho admonished the young gentlemen of the "real importance of cultivating the nioraljand industrious habits which have been instilled into their minds while at this institution. On Tuesday the 2Gth imA. Professor Stowe, of Lane Seminary delivered to a large and respectable audience, a manly and vigorous address in behalf of the Athenian Society. Education was the theme and seldom have
wc listened with more pleasure fo the expressions of
thought and ideas r.wrc congenial to our mind. The European manner of instruction w ith all its excellencies and defects, was admirably contrasted with the advantages and disadvantages of our own system of education. Professor Stowe's tour abroad has rendered him amp?y adequate to such a task naked, nervous, thoughtand matter of fact important and instructive matter too, pervaded the whole address. The spontaneous bursts of applause that frequently stopped the progress of the speaker (though -w-tnean!) were too poor and dusty n. tribute to his moft- than culinary abilities. Put wc forbear as doubt loss the address will be published and speak more for itself than we are able to say for it, not however, with-uifirst recommending inpatient pu ratal to every friend of Jnteraturc and Science. On Monday evening last,pVc Mere agreeably, and we hope liencficially entertain.! at the annual exhibition of the 'Tini.o.i!.Tii::.N SoOKf i,"' of Indiana College, held in the large chapel. T;c atidianco that assembled to witness the rapid strides of young and g oring genius, was large mid intelligent and no iioubt well entertained throughout the evening. live young gentlemen viz: Davis, Willis, Pkksi.kii, Stmt and Wilson, delivered original nddrassy upon well chosen subjects. In short permit us to say that the young speakers acquitted themselves with honor, and wc rejoice that Indiana bears upon her broad and romantic bosom, an Institution to v. hu h she can point, and say yonder stands my temple of science and fame, the only strong and certain barrier against anarchy and despotism. The happy result of this exhibition, is but another proof of the superior qualifications and moral worth of the Faculty of Indiana College. At the time, of making up cur form for this number, tin! exhibition of the Senior ("las, had not terminated, rouse jtiently we defer making any reniai ks until our next. We regret to snv that Dr. D. II. f xv, t.li., nt the late meeting o ho Hoard of Trustees, of Indiana College, resigned his oii'n'c as President of that honorable body. The D.v-lor has been Picsidoiit of the board ever since the first commencement of the Institution, and it is hut duo to him to say that he Ins dis hai gfd the duties whieh devohod upon him in that capacity with niurh abiiity and to the entire sati-.faetmu of those interested in the welfare of the College. lie has couttiIritcd groatly.o the present flour i --long condition and I i;.;'i standing of the Institution, and his loss will not Ik? ' ily ripuiied. His engagement in business forth-. State, which requires his unre.n.uiity.d attention, was the e-jit -e of his resignation.
We have received the first number of a new paper commenced at Greencastle Indiana, entitled " The New Era,'" published by J. II. Knight & J. B. Peat. This paper is in room of the Western Plough Boy, which has, been discontinued. The editorial matter of the number before us is very limited, and the mechanism badly executed; but we hope it will yet be anetfl era in the newspaper line. Coming out.- We see it stated in the JelTersonville Courier, that Dr. Benjamin V. Teel, of Rushville; Illinois, and once a citizen of our town, has purchased the entire stock of the Rushville Rail Road, with a view of prosecuting the work. There is some stock in this part of the country, which some of the good people would no doubt lie glad the Doctor would jmrchasc.

what would be the consequence ot an immeutaie requisition of specie for all the public dues? It woiildjiso to value. The merchant would be compelled to buy it, in order to pay his custom-house bonds. Hp would lay it on, as he does his duties, in the price of his goods; thG consumers, the community at large, would bo thus taxed from 10 to 15 per cent, to swell the salaries of the officers of the Government. There would thus bo two species of currency in the country the baser currency for the People, and tin; better for its o.lfjb rs. Tin Message is very ingenious in its atte.npts to obviate the effect of this 'unjust discrimination.' But the fact is, Mho measure would be both one of restriction' and of favoo.'
