WaterVH.I.E, Aug. 13,18*12. When I closed my communication yester- day morning they were still coming, and kept coining till the remnants of all creation finally arrived. In attempting to be a prophet, to foretell who would win the prizes at the Jun- ior exhibition, on Monday evening, I did not succeed, for the committee awarded the first to John O. Marble, and t he second to Chas. F. The Oration and Poem before the societies last evening were pronounced by all to be ex- cellent productions, and in tine taste. The Oration was peculiarly a scientific article,— plain and intelligible, and brought, by happy illustration, within the comprehension of all. The Poem was indeed a war one, commen- cing with Virgil's familiar line “Arms and the man I sing,” and then showed that the “conn- try was full of arms, and to arms was the cry, but where is the man? It was not McClellan, nor Hunter, nor Burnside, nor lias the Napo- leon yet arisen. The poet had confidence in all the men he named, but attempted to show, in an irunical manner, that the Federal people had no confidence in their Generals any longer than each General is eminently successful; and the first time he fails to come up to their ex- travagant notions,the cry goes forth, "he is not the man." This morning the trustees of the College held their meeting at the College chapel. [We are obliged to abridge.] The procession was formed at the chapel, and marched to the church, where the follow- ing order of exercises took place: 1— Latin Oration; Ozias Whitman, Buck- field. 2— Oration: The Greek and French Revolu- tions; Frank Bodfish, Waterville. 3— English Oration; Seeming and Being;— Albert Quincy Marshall.

Dyer Ewer, Vassal boro’. 24—English Oration: Sans pour et sans re- procbe; George Alvah Gifford, Vassalboro’. The whole interspersed with suitable music. Those marked with a star (•) excused. The pieces, with two exceptions, were thor- oughly committed, of good composition, and timely selected subjects. No. 8, the Traitor’s Dream, was a poetic vision; the darkest, foul- est, bloodiest plot w hich could he laid before the human mind. The scene was laid in Washington, the actors Davis, Slidell, Mason, Toombs, Floyd, &c„ each carrying on his part with zeal, and having frequent consultaions with the devil; and the object of it all to sac- rifice upon tlie altar of slavery the bleeding lamb of liberty. The degree of A. B. was conferred upon Henry A. Kennedy, of Waldoboro’, in course, and tbe graduating class. Also the degree of A.M. upon Judah T. Pompilly, Simon S. Brown, Henry A. Hart, and Geo. G. Percival. The degree of D. D. was conferred upon Rev. Hezekiah Harvey. Geo. A. Bosworth and Sam- uel A. Collins, and the degree of LL. 1)., upon Gen. Benjamin Franklin Butler. This last an- nouncement brought down a storm of ap- plause which it seemed would never end. This closed the exercises at the churcli and the au- dience, as hungry as Poleypheinus, inarched almost on double quick to town Hall, where a war dinner, as the President called it, was pro- vided by Mr. Williams of the Williams House. The crowd, some 300 strong, made a desper- ate charge with knife ami fork upon the load- ed tables, and they were in a very few miu- ules “horribly cut to pieces.” The President requested the audience not to disperse until alter the second course was served, and called upon Vice Presideut Ham- lin, who was most lustily cheered. His re- marks soon drifted to the popular theme of the day—the rebellion. He thought he could see the silver linings of the sky through the clouds and to him it was the brightest day he had seen for sixteen montlis. He was followed by Gov. Washburn, and in very much the same strain. He said Maine had sent not less than 23,000 to the ar- my and navy beforethe call for the first 300,000, and her quota of the hist two calls would not he less than 17,000,making not less than 40,000 from Maine. Hon. L. M. Morrill was then called out anil he followed the course indicated by his prede- cessors and talked of war. He said we had been fondling with the enemy, and had been fighting much on the principle of a pious wo- man who felt it her duty,to chastise her son for some misdemeanor,but administered cloroforni before she whipped him, lest it would hurt. The Orator of the previous evening, was called out but the lateness of the hour, it being five o'clock, reminded him of short speeches, and he thought It best to adjourn which was done to have a meeting of the alunuii. Col. Plaisted of the 11th Me. ltcgt., and of class of '55 was here, and leaves tomorrow, to rejoin his Regiment, from which he had a fur- lough to recruit his health. Vice President Hamlin subscribed and paid into the College | to-dav. the sum of $1000. i In the evening was the levee, at President ('hamplinsatnd a Concert at the Baptist Church by the Germania Band. The house was crowd ed to its utmost capacity .and the receipts very much lessened the expenses of the graduating class. Outside of Commencement was a horse race, on the Fair grounds, but your correspondent not being a horse,nor interested in horse-flesh, diil not think to attend and has not learned who won the purses. Fuller. Letter trom Harper's Ferry. Clayton Gen. Hospital, 1 Harper's Ferry, Va., > Aug.il, 1802. ) Mr. Editor:—I beg leave to acknowledge, through your press, seventeen boxes of stores, and one hundred and fifty dollars, for the use of sick and wounded in hospital at Harper’s Ferry, Va, from the people of your State.— j These donations were solicited and collected by Mrs. A. A. Goddard, niatron-in-chief of our institution, who manages her department with great ability and satisfaction, and who will see that the free gifts of a good people are properly expended and distributed for the comfort of the suffering patriots in our charge. On the bottom of a tin vessel I saw the sen- tence, You are remembered at home." Tru- ly the recipients of these favors feel that they are remembered, and that their services are appreciated. I can therefore assure you of much gratitude on their part, and of many thanks from the officers of the institution. It becomes me to mention, especially, the lilierality of the people of the towns of Saco, Saccarappa, Alfred, Brunsw ick, Topsham, and Portland. Yours truly, E. A. Dawson. Surgeon in charge General Hospital. Harper's Ferry, Va. [r or the Daily rreM.] The Maine Democrat, and its Treasonable Teachings. Editors Press :—Your suggestions in re- gard to the Maine Democrat, and its secession articles, should be heeded by the proper au- thorities. I have had occasion to observe its l>oisonons influence among tlie honest people of York county. Resistance to the demands of the Government, opposition to the enlist- ment of all Democrata. vilification ofthe Pres- ident and Governor, and treason in other forms | too numerous to mention, are among the fruits of its traitorous teachings. Democrats who come under its influence make no bones of threatening to spill their blood in resisting the authorities. They teach their children that the South are fighting for their rights against the encroachments of tlie “damned Republicans.” They defend the divine right of slavery, and in every way en- deavor to make out tiie Southern cause to be better than our own. Let the Government sec to It. Recruiting Officers. Our correspondent “Aroostook” informs us that tlie following named officers ami enlisted men iiave been detailed by Miyor Gen. Slocum as a a recruiting party for the 7th Maine: 1st Lieut, and Adjt. W. II. Larrabee, 7th Me. 2d Lieut. Elijah D. Johnsou, Co. K, Sergt. Janies McGiniey A, Lemuel C.

Commencement at Waterville College. WaterVH.I.E, Aug. 13,18*12.

When I closed my communication yester- day morning they were still coming, and kept coining till the remnants of all creation finally arrived. In attempting to be a prophet, to foretell who would win the prizes at the Jun- ior exhibition, on Monday evening, I did not succeed, for the committee awarded the first to John O. Marble, and t he second to Chas. F.

The Oration and Poem before the societies last evening were pronounced by all to be ex- cellent productions, and in tine taste. The Oration was peculiarly a scientific article,— plain and intelligible, and brought, by happy illustration, within the comprehension of all.

The Poem was indeed a war one, commen- cing with Virgil's familiar line “Arms and the man I sing,” and then showed that the “conn- try was full of arms, and to arms was the cry, but where is the man? It was not McClellan, nor Hunter, nor Burnside, nor lias the Napo- leon yet arisen. The poet had confidence in all the men he named, but attempted to show, in an irunical manner, that the Federal people had no confidence in their Generals any longer than each General is eminently successful; and the first time he fails to come up to their ex-

travagant notions,the cry goes forth, "he is not the man."

This morning the trustees of the College held their meeting at the College chapel.

[We are obliged to abridge.] The procession was formed at the chapel,

and marched to the church, where the follow- ing order of exercises took place:

1— Latin Oration; Ozias Whitman, Buck- field.

2— Oration: The Greek and French Revolu- tions; Frank Bodfish, Waterville.

3— English Oration; Seeming and Being;— Albert Quincy Marshall. Hebron.

4— The Brotherhood of Nations; Zcmro Au- gustus Smith, Ilodgdon.

5— Dissertation; The Law of Labor; Wm. Carey Barrows, Litchfield.

6— English Oration; Government and Peo- ple ; George Adam Wilson, Waterville.

7— English Oration; The Sphere of Faith; Isaiah Record, East Livermore. 8— Poem; Of the Class of Oration; The

Traitor’s Dream; Alonzo Bunker, Atksinon. 0—Oration; The Poetry ot Mathematics;—

Aretus Gustavus Barker, Lovell. 10— English Oration; Influence of Histori-

11— English Oration; The Magic of Evil; Frederick Hale, Turner. 12— English Oration; Aristocratic Limita-

tions; ‘Whiting Stevens Clark, Sangerville. 13— Oration; Reason and Prejudice; Elias

22— English Oration: Fate and Self; Asa Lyman Lane, Strattanville, Penn.

LI—English Oration ; The Relations of Law and Liberty; *Wm. Dyer Ewer, Vassal boro’.

24—English Oration: Sans pour et sans re-

procbe; George Alvah Gifford, Vassalboro’. The whole interspersed with suitable music. Those marked with a star (•) excused. The pieces, with two exceptions, were thor-

oughly committed, of good composition, and timely selected subjects. No. 8, the Traitor’s Dream, was a poetic vision; the darkest, foul- est, bloodiest plot w hich could he laid before the human mind. The scene was laid in Washington, the actors Davis, Slidell, Mason, Toombs, Floyd, &c„ each carrying on his part with zeal, and having frequent consultaions with the devil; and the object of it all to sac- rifice upon tlie altar of slavery the bleeding lamb of liberty.

The degree of A. B. was conferred upon Henry A. Kennedy, of Waldoboro’, in course, and tbe graduating class. Also the degree of A.M. upon Judah T. Pompilly, Simon S. Brown, Henry A. Hart, and Geo. G. Percival.

The degree of D. D. was conferred upon Rev. Hezekiah Harvey. Geo. A. Bosworth and Sam- uel A. Collins, and the degree of LL. 1)., upon Gen. Benjamin Franklin Butler. This last an- nouncement brought down a storm of ap- plause which it seemed would never end. This closed the exercises at the churcli and the au-

dience, as hungry as Poleypheinus, inarched almost on double quick to town Hall, where a war dinner, as the President called it, was pro- vided by Mr. Williams of the Williams House. The crowd, some 300 strong, made a desper- ate charge with knife ami fork upon the load- ed tables, and they were in a very few miu- ules “horribly cut to pieces.”

The President requested the audience not to disperse until alter the second course was

served, and called upon Vice Presideut Ham- lin, who was most lustily cheered. His re- marks soon drifted to the popular theme of the day—the rebellion.

He thought he could see the silver linings of the sky through the clouds and to him it was the brightest day he had seen for sixteen montlis. He was followed by Gov. Washburn, and in very much the same strain. He said Maine had sent not less than 23,000 to the ar- my and navy beforethe call for the first 300,000, and her quota of the hist two calls would not he less than 17,000,making not less than 40,000 from Maine.

Hon. L. M. Morrill was then called out anil he followed the course indicated by his prede-

cessors and talked of war. He said we had been fondling with the enemy, and had been fighting much on the principle of a pious wo- man who felt it her duty,to chastise her son for some misdemeanor,but administered cloroforni before she whipped him, lest it would hurt.

The Orator of the previous evening, was called out but the lateness of the hour, it being five o'clock, reminded him of short speeches, and he thought It best to adjourn which was done to have a meeting of the alunuii.

Col. Plaisted of the 11th Me. ltcgt., and of class of '55 was here, and leaves tomorrow, to rejoin his Regiment, from which he had a fur- lough to recruit his health. Vice President Hamlin subscribed and paid into the College

| to-dav. the sum of $1000. i In the evening was the levee, at President

('hamplinsatnd a Concert at the Baptist Church by the Germania Band. The house was crowd ed to its utmost capacity .and the receipts very much lessened the expenses of the graduating class.

Outside of Commencement was a horse race, on the Fair grounds, but your correspondent not being a horse,nor interested in horse-flesh, diil not think to attend and has not learned who won the purses. Fuller.

Letter trom Harper's Ferry. Clayton Gen. Hospital, 1

Harper's Ferry, Va., > Aug.il, 1802. )

Mr. Editor:—I beg leave to acknowledge, through your press, seventeen boxes of stores, and one hundred and fifty dollars, for the use of sick and wounded in hospital at Harper’s Ferry, Va, from the people of your State.—

j These donations were solicited and collected by Mrs. A. A. Goddard, niatron-in-chief of our institution, who manages her department with great ability and satisfaction, and who will see that the free gifts of a good people are

properly expended and distributed for the comfort of the suffering patriots in our charge.

On the bottom of a tin vessel I saw the sen-

tence, You are remembered at home." Tru- ly the recipients of these favors feel that they are remembered, and that their services are appreciated. I can therefore assure you of much gratitude on their part, and of many thanks from the officers of the institution.

It becomes me to mention, especially, the lilierality of the people of the towns of Saco, Saccarappa, Alfred, Brunsw ick, Topsham, and Portland. Yours truly,

E. A. Dawson. Surgeon in charge General Hospital.

Harper's Ferry, Va.

[r or the Daily rreM.] The Maine Democrat, and its Treasonable

Teachings. Editors Press :—Your suggestions in re-

gard to the Maine Democrat, and its secession articles, should be heeded by the proper au- thorities. I have had occasion to observe its l>oisonons influence among tlie honest people of York county. Resistance to the demands of the Government, opposition to the enlist- ment of all Democrata. vilification ofthe Pres- ident and Governor, and treason in other forms

| too numerous to mention, are among the fruits of its traitorous teachings.

Democrats who come under its influence make no bones of threatening to spill their blood in resisting the authorities. They teach their children that the South are fighting for their rights against the encroachments of tlie “damned Republicans.” They defend the divine right of slavery, and in every way en- deavor to make out tiie Southern cause to be better than our own. Let the Government sec to It.

Recruiting Officers.

Our correspondent “Aroostook” informs us that tlie following named officers ami enlisted men iiave been detailed by Miyor Gen. Slocum as a a recruiting party for the 7th Maine: 1st Lieut, and Adjt. W. II. Larrabee, 7th Me. 2d Lieut. Elijah D. Johnsou, Co. K, Sergt. Janies McGiniey “ A,
