THE INTELLIGENCER.
One of our exchanges lias a short pointed
article on '-Gold going out," showing that
though gold is being found in quite large quan
tities at Pike's Peak, yet like that which coincs
from California, it all tends Europe-wards.
Our exchange asks:
But why docs the overland arrival of the mail
inform us that so many ounces have left the
mines and reached Leavenworth? Why does
it leave Pike's Peak i.at all? Because of the re
markable law. fixed and unchangeable, that
gold, liko water, always seeks the lowest'level,
abandoning countries Where the rate of interest
is highest and seeking those where the rate is
lowest. The cnergr of the same law forces
Australia, Mexico, and California to give up
their gold to the low interest countries, England
and Germany, and Kansas will prove no excep
tion. The gold of California merely comes hero
in transitu from a country where money com
mands two per ccnt. a month, and is forthwith
exported to another where the owner is satisfied
with three per cent, per annum. Unless dis
turbed by war or famine, it remains permanent
ly in the low interest countries, and lience there
is a constant drain from us to them. It is
drawn to them and remains with them, bccause
the cultivation of (lie soil is thero highest while
with us it is lowest, and because human employ
ment is most thoroughly diversified by all foims
ofmanufacturing industry. Their Governments
protect and stimulate the latter, while ours de
stroys it. They believe that everything is good
?wo swear by cotton only. Those countries
are consequently the industrial hives or the
world, gorging us with their products and ex
hausting us of our gold.
What a Southern- Man Would have Done.
?They are still discussing the Sickles case in
Texas. The American Fluff, of that state, in its
issue of August 2otb, says of his reconciliation
to his wife :
Many pcoplo have spoken of it, and the news
papers have commented on it; none, we think,
favorably. Those who urged his acquittal and
befriended him throughout-, have been loudest
in their condemnation. To nil such ho has pub
lished n reply, which has appeared in the 1'lni7.
Unlike most of our contemporaiies, upon its
face we like this letter and the spirit it seems to
breathe. Ilut there is something behind it
which we do not like : Mr. Key was killed in a
southern city, and the parties were surrounded
by southern men. Mr. Sickles thought himself
compelled, for his honor, to slay the man who
had disgraced him. lie did so, and for his de
fence set up the false plea of moral insanity.?
The whole proceeding shows that he thought
that inCongtess, among southern men, he could
not live respected il he did not kill his dishon
orer. Feeling that there wus a chance for legal
punishment, he betook himself to prcpaie a de
fence. The giving of the utmost possible noto
riety to his w ile's infamy, both previoue to, and
upon the trial, seems to have been his chief de
pendence ; and this was done with a precision
and a fullness which left, nothing to be supplied
The ignominious confession went forth like an
echo, simultaneous with the pistol shots. The
press was furnished with everything which
would assure the public that woman had fallen.
The paiticulars were coarsely given 011 the trial.
Mr. Sickles did not act as a southern man
woidd have done, though he may have intended
to do so. He might kiil the adulterer, but he
should never have exposed "the mother of his
child." If he felt thai Key ought to die, not a
word nor a look which would throw discredit on
her should have escaped him. At all events, if
rage or anguish should have wrung out a few
such words or looks at the moment, whieli is
likely enough and well enough, all else should
have been left to explain itself. If lie so ;.n
served his secret that none discovered it, lie
might have hung even, or die in prison, but this
would be lar preferable to the blackening of his
wile's name and throw ing a suspicion of bastauly
dy upon his child. Rut is likely that very strong
suspicion would a-iise from the circumstances to
-how that a gi eat wrong had been done the pi is
oner by the deceased, and these, well used by
counsel onllictiial, coupled with the respect
which the jury feel for a man who respects
hitliSelf, would eloquently plead for hiui ami
acquit him. After a conviction, too, a private
appeal could have been made to executive clem
ency, showing what had really been his provo
cation, ami no doubt it would lie successful.?
The men of the Southern States, and the wi.men
too, are far more lenient in their judgment o( the
erring than the northern. Seduction is frequent
ly punished with death, and rape by burning
tile guilty man, while the poor victimized wo
man is tenderly hid away, scrupulously defend-.
id ft oui reproach and protected from insult.?
lo speak of her lightly or contemptuously
woiiltl bung down the arm ol father, and
brother, and hu-hand, and of the friend of each,
as heavi;v as upon ihc first wrongdoer, indeed
we have known of several instances w here tnen
ol unquestionable courage, honor, seiisibiiity
and freedom from any restraint other than a
refined sell-respect, liave, for the sake of their
children's honor, passed by the man who had
given the greatest of offences, permitted him to
live; and, when il was a wife who had sinned,
permitted a separation, known only to themsel
ves, lo mnik the fault, while the world wn.-. in
sti ueted to believe; prejudicial rumors to be false
and the suggestion of them perilous.
Nor should Mr. Sickles have allowed himself
to sneak about bis wife's quarters after he had
pot her away. In this lie did her no credit and
himself less. Il he felt a return of his affection
for her, or thai bis child needed his care and
protection, open day should have beheld him
first return even to confer with her. llis letter
too, should have shown that he repented of hav
ing so thoroughly made known her fault.
Our "south-side view'' of this is, then, that
Mr. Sickles has done right in forgiving his wife,
light in receiving her back into his confidence
if he has some hope that she will sin no more:
right, at all events, in returning to his home to
watch over his child, and right in defying ail
who condemn him for doing so. We o:.ly wish
lie had acted in this way from the first.
A man who seduces your daughter or sister,
or debauches vonr wife, should die. if it takes
you ten years to put him in a position to do it;
but let her whom it is your duty lo protect
never suffer in lcputation to scti.cn yourself
from the consequences of your acts, though she
be ever so guilty. If you cannot execute justice
upon the criminal without exposing her, belter
to suffer in stein silence, awaiting the moment
when his insolence may prompt him to utter
some defamatoiy remark which ycu can punish
as such.
' '? [Ojrre-ipondence of the Wheeling Intelligence!*.]
Commencement Week at WnihlBBlOB Cat:
lege, Pa.
Tlic regular semi-annual examination of the
College classes closet? on Saturday morning, the
17th inst., and on Sabbath morning, the Bacca
laureate sermon before the graduating class,
was delivered by the President of the College,
Hev. Dr. Scott; and a long, but able discourse on
the life and character of tho Apostle Paul, held
the audience in strict attention. This sermon
was delivered before tho class of *57, and was
repeated on this occasion, by special request.
In the evening of this day, liev. Mr. <jrimes,
of Cadiz, Ohio, delivered the annual sermon be
fore the Socicly of Religious Inquiry. A full
house listened to tho Rev. gentleman, and near
ly all, seemed quite well pleased. A few, how
ever, of the older heads were seen to shake as
he went off in some of his bolder flights. As a
whole, the discourse was very satisfactory.?
Both or the sermons were delivered in the
Presbyterian Church.
On Monday, the only noticeable thing \yas
the "Senior Party," given to the graduating
class by the worthy President, and in spite of
the heavy rain of the evening, the elite, beauty
and fashion of Washington, as well as its wis
dom and age, crowded the Dr.'s ample parlors.
On Tuesday evening, the Commencement
ITall was filled at an early hour, to listen to the
valedictories and responses of the two Liternry
Societies of the College. The valedictory of the
two graduating classes of the Washington So
ciety, was delivered by John W. Dinsmore, of
Buffalo, Pa., in a neat and scholarly spcocfi, but
hardly of the character suitable to such an oc
casion. The response, on bchnlf of the. re
maining members of the Society, was given by
,J. E. Edmonds, of Piqua, Ohio. lie seemed to
have a gootl idea and conception of what ought
to be said at such a time.
F.. P. Wilson, of Washington, was valedicto
rian for the Graduating members of the Union
Society, and in good language and style did he
deliver his farewell address. Responded to by
Mr. Bloyney, of Va., who filled tho hail with
his powerful voice, and held the attention of
the audience with his gootl delivery.
Next came the address to the Literary Socie
ties, by Rev. Samuel J. Wilson, of the \\ estern
Theological Seminary, Allegheny City, Pa. It
was the ccr.nt of the whole week, for a more
masterly effort the halls of old Washington
have seldom heard. His subject was, "Labor
Neccssarv to Success" and for an hour and a ha'I
he held the audience ent-anced by his vigor ol
thought, the beauty of his style arid the true
-plendor of his eloquence. While many would
nut agree with him in ignonng genius, they
could not help giving in their assent to the
truth of his arguments, lie portrayed the
thoughts and feelings of the student so well
and so truthfully, that all who listened to him
exclaimed that no one who had not passed
through College could have written such ti
speech. He is yet a young man, a graduate
and member of the class of '52.
This add:ess, in conjunction with the Bacca
laureate Sermon, and'the Sermon hef?:?s the
Society of Religious Inquiry, will be published
in pamphlet form as soon as the necessary ar
rancemeiits can he made.
(in Wednesday morning the 1I.-.11 was tided
long before the hour Tor the regular commence
ment exercises had ariived. At nine o clock
the grailunting clnss were u>?icrc<l into the hail,
and the proceedings were opened with prayer
bv Rev. Mr. Wilson, a missionary from Alnca.
The Salutatory Addiess was delivered by Morris
Wines, in a ?ell written and well delivered
classic, speech. lie was followed by George B.
Caldwell, of Wheeling, in a philosophical ora
lion, which showed a good deal ol *-nidy and
famili-ii it V with his subject. Ande'son, ol
Ohio, followed in a prettiiv written sj eccli. but
he was not erft-rgetio enough to chain the alten
tion entirely to "a Nation's Jewels." R.acUl -id.

the riistingii.stied elead ol oD;
The i oi ks upon which the biUU inl geniuses
of nges have been wre.-ked, wci-r exposed to
our view by Dudley Evans, ol Va , m a line
speech. After him, "Retirement" was declared
to lie the rest of b.iss, in poetic numbers by
P. B. Farren. The rhyme was good and the
measure perfect, but it seemed tons that the
divine afflatus of true poesy was sadly wanting.
[Jones, of Washington, desci ;bed the " A recks
of Israel" in good language, bu". i:i a style a lit
tie bordering on the sermon. Kirkwond, in
holding up to our view the "Forsaken City,"
did not s; eak loud enough for one halt of the
audience to licai; and the greater pu t of his
oration was lost by this delect Magill, in his
"Fiom the Atom to the Act lor," (of which atoms
ha lias a goodly poition in his portly fi.rm,)
tilled the hall well, and was placed in pleasant
cont'ast with the preceding speaker. Xlerriti,
showed the "Sublimity of Nature" in good Ian
giia?e, but the.e was too little animation in his
delivery for it to lie sublime. Miller, in asking
the question, "What wi'.l_ the people, say V"
created a good deal of merriment by his mathe
matical demonstrations and definitions of wo
man's sphcic. K. i*. 11 ilaon s \\ a>te of
Mind" was calculated to make ore think of
what they were doing, whether it was wasted
energy <"t not. "Originality," by Words, of
Pittsburgh, was the third honor speech, and
was exceedingly well wiittcn, but inst much ol
its force from the embarrassment of the speak
er, and from a want of vigor and encigy in llis
stvle of delivery.
The Valedictory was an excellent one. m-d in
the course of it paid a ? ell deserved and titling
liihute to the two departing Professors, Wines
and Achcson, who left on Thursday morning for
St. Louis, to take charge of the City I niversity
there.
The degree of A. B. was conferred upon the
nineteen young men who compose the class of
\V.?, and the decree of A. M. upon the members
of the class of '56, a part of wh:ch were pte<
cnt. Also, the degree of A. M. upon W. B.
Logan, of Wheeling, and Hugh Tencr, of
Philadelphia, and upon J. W. Acheson, of Wash
ington, Pa. The degree of L. L. I). was con
fetred upon E. C. Wines, of St. Louis, and Ne
ville B. Craig, of Pittsburg.
This concluded the ceremonies proper of
Commencement Oav. Most excellent order
prevailed in the llall, which the storm of the
morning kept from being crowded to excess, as
is usual. The Washington Brass Band dis
coursed beautiful music for the exercises, and
merited and received nine praise.
Arrangements and announcements had been
made bv the Alumni Association for the Inau
guration of Or. McCoiiaughev's monument at
3 o'clock Wednesday afternoon, in the beautiful
Goinetery lin.lt" a mile out of town.
T'ne weather, which all the morning had been'
wet and stormy, no doubt prevented many from
attending these ceremonies; but as the time
drew near for rendering this tribute to a great
and good man, the clouds passed away, the son
shone out and all nature seemed propitious, and
to smile upon this duty paid to one who was
a sincere friend and a ju?t man. The exercises
opened, at 3. o'clock with prayer from "Dr. Blliot,
of Allegheny.. A report was then read by Dr.
Brownson, President of the Association, giving
a history-of the proceedings of the Monument
Association, and closing with a few pertinent
words, placing this memorial in the hands'ot
the. Cemetery, Corporation. Dr. Brownson w.-is
responded to on behalf of the Corporation by
R. II. Kopntz, of Washington, in a poem con
tributed by a personal friend of the dead, ac
cepting the sacj^efl trust. ?
After this Dr.' Elliot, the immediate predeces
sor of Dr. McConanghey, as President of \V ash
ington College, and an intimate Iriend and com
panion, a lit man;/answered for the Alumni
Association. A few remarks were made by Dr.
Alrich, at present Professor in the College, and
who was associated with the deceased for many
years in the Institution, lie paid a fitting and
feeling tribute to this good man, and proved him
a man, a christian and a scholar.
Ex-Prof. Lee followed in n short but classic
speech, adding to the tiibutes which had al
ready been paid, showing in glowing language
the knowledge which he had gained of him in
a long association with him as Professor. Kev.
James McKenuan, a former Professor in our
College, also added still more, and in strong,
terse language (.aid his offering to the shrine of
departed greatness. 11. I'. Tenet-, of Phila.,
followed in a short but eloquent speech, piling
the testimony still higher, lie spoke as a stu
dent, and as one who had benefited greatly un
der the tuition of Dr. McConaughcy, and as a
filial and grateful son would speak of his father.
This closed the ceremonies, ami the assemblage
dispersed, bearing in their hearts this truth?
that great and good men do not live or die for
naught.
On Wednesday Eve, the Alumni Association
w.-is addressed by lion. W. C. A. Lawrence, of
Harrisburg, of the class of '52. His subject
wns a defence of politics, which, as he said, in
his beginning, was hardly an orthodox topic for
the occasion or place. Ho spoke a little more
than an hour and a half; and having recently
risen from a sick bed, showed weakness and
weariness before he was through. 1 might
give you a svnois of his speech, but 1 have al
ready taken up too much of your space.
The whole procedings of the Inaugural Cere
monies, with the speeches, will be published in
our town papers, which will give you a better
idea than will this hastily written letter.
This Commencement Week is one long to he
remembered in the annals of our Alma Mater,
and despite the nnpropitioos weather, all passed
of pleasantly. The next session will commence
on the first Wednesday in November, with quite
a large accessicyi of new students. One new
