MEMPHIS DAILY APPEAL-TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1830. THE COLLEGE FORIVOMH, ESTABLISHED AND MAINTAINED Bf Mississippi, Ii Vitlted by a Larje Dtleratlon or tbe Mfinln.fi f the Legislature President woucs's Address. IcneaagrtixotxTi o tii .rrgaL.I Jackson, Mik. February 0 In compliance witb the invita ion from ttie 1 rofeee nd President of thebUte Collf p for women t Columbus, large dftlegatiorja from tbe Senate and House of Ker reset utivee aDC their frinndg, mil numbering one bnndred and five ithfre being sixty members of the low end twelve Menatoi), left Jack son at 8 o'clock Wednesday evening for Columbia, via Maditon, oa a ape c at train. Tue pleasure and interest of tbe ncnraion was mtterially en hanced by the presence of Mia l)odils from Haileliurat, Mrs. Bcarbo:ougb from ruuldini!. Mrs. liallicaa from WebstorOtnniy, Mrs. Martin und Mrs. Person frr m Poit Oibion, Mies Over tan Winron from Alabama, Miss Nel lie Poiter from Calif jrnia, Mrs. iShol ton, Muses Nannie Campbell, Idelitte Hurler and Kits Power from Jackson. Meridian wai reached at 12 o'clock, m., where a short stop wai made to change engines, and wbare tbe Temperance Committee had an opportunity of getting drinks of water, tf coarse. After said committee had been r f 'eehed and a new engine at tached, tbe train speeded on its awlft course io Attests, the point where the Columbus brancn conned! with the main line (f the Mobile & Ohio rail road. One hour was spent at Artesis, and during the time the paitr was served with a most sumptuous (tinner by courtesy of Capt. h. L. Huseell, such as Mr. Chidwy always serves. Leaving Artesia at 5 o'clock p. m., a a Loui'rf run brought as to the bi duti ful city of Columbus, whose citi.ans are noted fur their generous hospital ity, refined culture and exulted mor al and intellectual it'itinments. After two bourn' rett, during which time tie Temperance Committee had oppor tunity to take several drinks of wa tar, the party repaired lo the spacious and unequally arranged chapel of the "I. I. ana C," as it is called fr shoit, the iM?rprtt ition cf which ie, the "Industrial Inntitutd and College." There naa a scene portrayed there, that certainly caURed the heart of every true Mlseiaaippian who witness ed it to bound with pleasure and with pride. Arrayed there, were over 3U0 bright, beaut fal, intelligent and hap py girls, the precious wards ot the b'n'e, under whose fostering care and generous aid ther are enabled to aecure that culture and training which Will fit them for that elavatfd mor al, social nud intellectual plana to which woman so naturally belongs and which will further enable them to brook financial adversities and as sert and maintain their independence of the sterner sex, to which womau has been so long subservient, by ob ' taining through their own personal exertions in the pursuit of legitimate and laudable occupations amplo coin patencies for their support and that of tlioie who may be dependent upon them this, io, without unnexing themselves nud wi hout detracting one iota from their social i t Hiding-, or dimming In the leatt degree the luster of a true woman's character. The pleasure and pridd thus In spin d is doubly iik reaped when wo re Meet upon the fact thus a very large percen'tije of these lovely aud tow helpless snd dependent girls, owing to the financial depression of the country and the poverty tf onr peo ple, could never have received the opportnnles thus otlVtred bed not the State have stepped forward and bettowed them. Theiefire. it Is a pleasure to realise what she has done, and w e are proud of her act and g'n'e ful to ber, not for her charity, but for the wisdom that prompted t'lis per formance of dii'y for it U her unred duly to give to her daughters oppor tunities for education equal to those she has heretofore sq lavishly bestow ed npot ber sons. At 8 o'clock the exercise were opened with prayer by the Kav. Mr. McAlpin. Then the immerse audi ence wai regaled by a beautiful chorus from some thntv or forty voices composed i f the studsnts and ficnlty, assisled by several gonllemen oi me city. The Kev. Dr. K. V. J ones, premJent of the institution, then delivered the following address: 1I0N( nlll.K (iKNTI.KMtN OF TUB .SkN ATS AND HOMK OK Ksl'KKSKNrATIVm Your advent lo this city and your presence in thiseollego chapol this evenitis we hail with trio highest gru' ificatiou. Perhaps no imitation in the 8out'i evsr entered rfu a public career which in so short a time has attracted larger nct;ce and received visit from more distinguished per sons. Whil? these buildings were in fn o -ess cf erection ourcitfewsevineod ively interest in them, and we were often favo'ed with the presence and roan times with tbe counsel of a dis tinguished member of the Supreme Court if Mississippi, who is noi only a warm friond of this eo'lege, but who believes that iu inauguration marks u new era in education Hid gives a new element ef strength and beauty to the Southern home. When these struct ures had been finished and the day for opening the firtt session bad daned, there gathered here in ex pectait and joyful assembly much of the beantv aud chivalry fir which oar Stats ii justly distinguished. Wel come to that throng, in words of chmteaad tl8ic eNgance, was spoken by one of your number, the earnest and conrtly Senator fiom this district (Hon. K T. Sykesl, adiWeswere de livered by Senat ir J. McMarlin, Col. lower, Judge Hill, Judge Harrison and by hi excellency the Uovernor of the Sute; Utters. to, were received from onr United States Senat jrs, from Botne of our Congressmen and from r-President Jeff Davis. All these speakers and writ jrs exprenoed admi ration of the at ip which Miwwsinni had Inken to found a college for girls aod the belief that theBemnl wouli ' prove me wisuorn ct its projtnt rt. But nen did not constitute the whole, nor the half of the assembly that gladly greit'd the incoming of that red-letter day October 2-'J. There sat upon the platform that thougbt'u), phiUnthropIc lady whose lieait was touched by ihs snuggle of womanhood ia the South, and whose pen bad urged the opening op of new avenues c f usefulness t the young ol her sex I mean Mrs. O. A. Hastings. There tco was that noble Mississippi woman (Mrs. E. G. Peyton), splendid in ber undety and talents, who when urged by tbe audience to come for ward an I say a word of encouragement Broke in aubitince as follows: lam pioad to-day that I am a Missiseip. piaa, I am proud of my S ate, pioud of ber noble men, proud of her in stitutions and most of all proud of this institution. I f jel confident that tbe interests of Mississippi's daughters are afe in the keeping o' Musieaippi'i gen- eious sous." Yon are here now gentle men the law-making power of the States in charge cf her resources and her dearest interests; and it is with you lo ray whether this prophecy of the giltsd, cultured, modest "Missis sippi woman" tlmll be fulfilled, whether the sacred interests here en shrined shall be preserved and fos tered by tbe chivalrous funs of this otnmo'n wealth. We desi? you to see tbe institution in all its depart ments, in all its working", to consider its scope, its plans, and its mission. Wa throw the doors wide open toujour examination anl inspection we Lave no secrets from you. As stated in the report which has been published for your inform t on, we are offering in struction in a o jllegU e, a normal,' an industrial department and a de- Iurtment of mueic aud fine art. n the orgam'rtfion cf the collegiate course we hare had regard to tbe highest educational needs of tbe peo ple; we have planned a course fir mora thorough than is usual in girls' colleges, affording instruction in math ematics and in literary and scientific subject! abrcatt with the march of modern progrees. The advantages we are here offering will be found to compare favorably in all respects with thoee afforded by colleges of jo 3d grade f r boys. And we are doing this, as we think, for the most satisfactory reasons. Many cf our best cititens desire this thorough and elegant culture for their daughters here in the midst of their own people. Hitherto scores buve sent their daugh ters out of tbe State, to be educated among strangers, and perbais to be educated ott o' sympathy with the people Among whom their lives have been caiU Thus, tio, thousands of dollars are taken out of the Sta'.e an nually, depleting the volume of circu lation circulating among us and swell ing that In other States. This is bad policy; but this is by no means the worst feature cf it. If our people feet that their inttitutiois of learning are it f erior (o those in other parts of our country ; If they sand their daughters out of the Sttte in or der to get that high male of educa tion which they think is not alorded by home institutions; If girls who are educated out of Miseisslppi come back t) It with better tininlng and culture than tboie who attend the home schools theie f icts will surely dissem inate among the people influences and impressions seiiously damaging to our own civilisation, destrutt vo of a proper t-tite pride, and calculated to excite a fueling if disquietude and uortst which leads to depreciation of values and promotes the spirit of emigration t) other more favored States. Let us alopt such manures ss will enable our people to see that Missis sippi provides tbe best gifts for her children, and that the tone of ber to clety is as pure, cltar and strong as any. Then will our sons and our daugh ter! abide contentedly upon her soil, aid in building no her waste places and help to establish her prosperity. I am aware U a', some intelligent clti r.nn think that the State ousht to pro vide tlemeutary education only; but, gentlemen, the rrojt prosperous and progressive States those that have made the mott rapid strides In wea'th have fostered the common schcols and the higher leanring sleo. By thoie States ample f icilitice have been made for thorough collegiat) training, and provision for varied technical snd in jlus'rial inttructim and practice: thereby skilled engineers, miners and mechanics aro furnished and men and women qualified in all those branches of indutiy whireby too rtuurces of n country are developed. If Miaflis.iippi had been provided years ago will such institutions for ibe practical training of her sons in the skilled imluit'ies might she net ti-day to d a more advanced position in the race of progress? "Jintice, In the tYurion, uses the greet name of Thomas Jefferson in Buppmt cf the policy that the SMiAe should give iti cit'saus nothing be oud a common school education. , No caw tno-e unfortunate fir his argument could buve been cited. Mr. Jetf-reon was tho great friond of popular education by the S ate; but he did net stop there, lie was the ra'rou ol higher ioa'niug, as he was the spostle of American liberty. In behalf of the great old mother of States and B'a'.esmen he croeBed the Atlant'c, studied the highest iiiil'tn tions in Kngland and on the conti' nei.t, and coming back laid tne foundation of the most magnificent university America had ever seeu. He modeled tho KjtutuU building upon tho Pantheon at Homo, and allotted the plan of the-universities of (iermary. When ho died his tomb stone bore this description : " Thorn aB Jefferson, Author of the DecUrttion rf Independence. Fa'hor of t've University of Virginia." Onr normal depait nent aims to fit pupils as thoroughly as time will allow for the great work cf t ashing. In all the S'.ates the f tr larger pait of the teaching, is being done by women, and the crying need is for well-trained, ellicient teachers. With out skillful, tamest, Looest tsachors, anv school system ia obliged to be a failure. You might as well expect an engine on a track ti run without steam or any power applied as to Itok for a live and productive educational system with indifferent teachers. In Mississippi IHOO.OOO la spent annually on the common schoi's. Whether or not the people are to get the proper return for tlrs vast annual outlay de pends most largely upon the teachers of those schools It is our desire nod aim to do do our part to meet this im perative need for earnest, progressive teachers, and thus contribute to the general education of the people. If we succeed in tnis to any large degree we will be amply coninansbting the Si ite for all her appropriations to this college. We stroagly and earnestly ftvor the maintenance cf anilliciect common school system. But the de partment cf this inttitution which seems to impress our people most pa thetically, which attracts the largest notice aud the highest commendation for its concepliea and working, and which most strongly characterize the college, is the industr al. In the 'act that our g'rls ,'are learning the irdns trial arte, there Is something that touches a tender chord in the hearts of the generous. Times are fo hard, the pressure so severe, the exigencies so imperative, that molest, shrinking joung women are aiking for the priv ilege i f csniing out to earn an honest support snd help the family that ia battling ursinst adversity. I confess that when I look upon the f ir, bright faces of these young girls, and think how they, in pursuing a bread-winning art, must suffer from the world's coldness and lack of symp athy, my heaitisiai. But a demand is upon them that does not relent; and in re sponse to the appeal of women, the Suite has chartered the college and it has started upon it mission. There are here daughters tf cultured, re fined parents who are learning book keeping, telegraphy, phonogra phy, free-hand drawing, designing, and various other arts. I do not ovjre'ati the caw when I lay that the demand is Urge for tbis kind of in t ruction snd preparation. Is there anywhere spirit that would deny to woman this ccance which she asksr The poverty of the people has been usea ss an argument luamit tne main tecante of such an institution as tbis. The poverty of the people, instead of being an argument against it, is at ons ana tne fame time the plsa and jusll ncauon ot its existence, it sprang oct oi me necessity wbich a long sue cession of reverses snd losses hae heaped upon us. If all our people were rich they could educats their daughters liberally and pay f jr it ; but the v a -e not rich. I will nit weary you by any farther remarks on tbe nature and purposes of tne institution. SuUioe it io say there is large ana trequent call for places in it dormitory which cannot now be met. The hand of woman is out stretched for help. When a person is tne vitt m oi disease or vice or aiver slty and is down, proetra'e and cower- less, it is a noble thing to minister to tarn and bis family, that they starve not nor suffer, but it is a far nobler, a more Christ-like work to strttsh out the hand t) itrike off the fetters, t enable him to stand erect in tbe con sciousnees of bis own manboid and to kindle within him fresh hopes in pursuance of which he may workouts worthy life-mission. This is the high and honorable mission of this college lor the women of Mississippi, not t supr.0 t them in a state of dependence and inactivity, not to treat them ai ob jects ot charity, but to prepare them ur tne walks ol sell-reliant usefulness, to encourage them in their aspirat'oos for that which is purest and beet, to open to them new ways ol proper ac tivity in duty-doing and thus make their lives expressions of significance and value in conserving the achieve ments ol past civil attion and in coc tributing to the cause of future pros perity. As the faithful representatives of tbe people and etinding lor the verdict of the future you will carefully consider tne condition and needs ot institution and do what in your judgment is bed ur me people. Now, therefore, in the came of the trustees, wbo cordially invited you hither, in behalf of the authorities of Columbus, as well ai her individual citlr.jDB, in behalf of these accom pliahed ladies of the faculty and in bc half of tne fresh, beautiful flower cf Mississippi's young womanhood, I bid you thrice welcome. At the conclusion of the address, Senators J. D. Yentrice cf PortUibeon responded on beba'f ol tbe Senate, and Kepresentst.va J. C. Longstreet of (irenada, on bebaif of tbe House oi Kepresentat.ves. Tne audience was lurther most agreeably entertained with recitations of choice and beaut; ful select oos, most effectually and splendidly rendered byMissss Pauline Or.', from Columbus, and Marie Bacon from Winona, ot tbe faculty, and with songs sung in strains of swec-tset melody by Mrs. Franklin Harris from Columbus, and Miss Ida Rust, from Kaihville, the latter being of the faculty, both of whom are highly ac complished vocalists. There was also another beautiful chorus rendeied At the conclusion of these exercises a half hour was given to toiial conver sation, in which the young ladies of the school were permitted to encage and tt at, t03, with the gentlemen, old snd joung, there assembled, which was greatly enjoyed by all. Thursday was spent by the mem bers in visiting the college and in. specting its every department and all tne appurtenances connect id there with, from cellar to garret. Tbe resu Ur daily exercises of the college were carried on as usual. Recitations of the various claases wero witnessed by the visitors. This inspection clearly demonstrated that there has been a wise and judicious expenditure cf the money already appropriated; that the commoaious Dunuings, wun ineir iu dicious arrangements for comfort, health, and convenience, with ample water supply, with gai and electric light, and other appliances cf geneial utility, are marvelously cheap for the money expended, when it is seen that the work and UniBb has been done in fint-closs style. The curriculum adopted for the collegiate department will compare fivorably with most any institution, snd the same is taught iy an eminent hivi tr. The indus trial and ornamental departments are each com pit t and are presided over una conducted by tho e who are ec complishod in thoir profession. The marked proficiency already attained by the scho'sra in every denaittnent and class shows pu'ient and thorough training, ine systematic manage ment and conduct of affairs generally, and the degree of perfection reached in so short a time bo 'peak a wonder ful executive ability for the accom plished aud liarned president. .Much indeed has already been a complisbed and much good bai been done. Now the que lion arises, and to the giila of our State it is a serious one, shall this institution, on the suc cess ( f which is lined the hopes and In tare piojperity of so many cf our daughters, be permitted to languish and die for war t of proper sustenance by tbe Suits? Are there those in power who have such narrow views and such short-sighted policy that they would withheld the nurturing care of tbe Slate and deny the means necessary to carry on this good work? Povorty wiU not do to plead against liberal appropriations, for, as was well said by Dr. Jones: "f overly is a plea f r the establishment of such institu tions ; that if the people were all rich, there wuuld be no necessity fr them." Ot coarse not, for with ample private means we could educate our daughters at expensive private tchools. This school is in the interest of the poor, and the poverty cf our people demand Its support, and a liberal sup port. On Frlc'ay morning at 10 o'clvk the party left Uclumbus, pleased with the city, grateful to the citizsns for their elegant enlerbrnmeut, and especially and particularly charmed with the college, tbe girls, the faculty, and all and everything connected therewith. The lion. James T. Harrison, Repre sentative from Lowndis and a mem ber of the Board of Tru.tjes of the College, had special chirge and direc tion of the party. To bis active vigil ance and earnest ni nnti.i ig atten tions looking to the comfort and con venience of the party, is due, t a great extent, the success and pie a Mire of the excursion. Tbe Hon. K. T. Sykes and Gen. J. II. Sbarpe contrib uted largely to tbe enjoyableness of the occadon by their kind attentiora. We reached Meridian on our return at 2 :30 o'clock p.m. The goad people ot Meridian entertained the party in fine style, dining them at several ho tels and in private families. After dinner all were driven out to the Eat MisnisHippi Insane Asylum, which wn carefully inspected and found to be kept In first-ciass style. The accom plished superintendent, Dr.C. A. Kice, and his valuable and polite assist ante, were courteous and kind in their at tritions. At 0 o'clock p.m. our Ira n again staitsd on the journey to Jack son, with all tired, but delighted with the trip. CATHOLICS OF AISTRALI. SESD J GREETING 10 TIIEIK AMEIUCO liREIIJUE.V. Letter From the Archbishops aud Bishops Progress of the t Church, Baltimobk, Md., February 8 Arch- nisnop Lribbons bus received a circa lar letter from the archbishops and bishops of Australia, addressed to tke archbishops and bishops of the United states, laying: I thi Lima. Tbe archbishops and bishops of the Church of Austria avail themselves of tbe occasion of their being awm bled for the holding of their first ilsnary council, to send their con gratulaiions to ihe iiluit-ious Episco pate of the. United States. The youngest dauirhter ol the church can not allow this occasion cf so much joy to her to pass without communicating her gladness to ber elder sit tar. Of all tue national churches in common with the Holy See, there is none to which the Church of Aut-ttaUa bears so close a resemblance ai that of the United S ates. The children ot both chuicbes are the offspring of tbe same race. J hey speak a common lan guage. i Their laws, customs and man ners art akin. They arj spretd over regions of vast extent, abound ing in everv form of ma terial iiroeperity, the full development oi wtjoje ui limited resources must raise both peoples to the foremost place among the nations of tbe earth The density of the population widely diners, bat their territorial extent is nearly the same. Ia both countries the foundations of the fa1', j were laid amid many nod grave difliuultier. Iheee causes, f om which serious dan geis to the faith t ave sprung and may continue to spring for some time longer, were common to both. Tie faithful tf both countries have bad to contend against an ant-Catlolic tr: dinon in 1 t'raiure. in ro ittcal and io cisl life, at a' out deep-seated prejudice. lometimes breaking out with open violence ajaiott systems of eductt on, against governments which, if not hos tile, give but liit'e encouragement to the spread of our holy faith. Our children were not among tbe most f. vorert, the wealthiest or the mott learned o' the land, yet both have la d the foundations of the faith deep and solid. As in America so here to Australia, the grain ol mue twd seed planted in a grateful eiil has grown into a goodly tree, and for both, In the providence of God. grand future is in ttore. You will re joice to learn that our Plenary Com cu, in tne laojrs ot winch we are now engaged, request tbe Holy See to en r.ch oar church with three new metro politan sees, with six new suffragan seas, with four additional bishops, some vicars apoalo'io for the native races, and with a national seminary which will be a means of developing the manliest vacations of oar ca'ive youth. J'he cardinal archbishop, one procurator of a metropolitan see, fif teen Dishops, one vicar a-joatolic. with fifty-two of our clergy, constitute onr first national synod. The succees cf your colleges, now happily crowned by our national university, is a matter of deep interest to ne, and will, we trust, encourage our pepple to second our effuiU in imitating your noble example. May the decree of your great council. among the first in the history of tbe church lor Its members and the ex tei t of its territory, and for the im portance of its deliberations, be fruit ful in countless blessings for the ex tirpation ot error, for the diffusion of truth, for the happiness of your works, for the talvation cf soulj by giving Increased energy to an spat) tolic see, a greater uniformity to dis cipline and a more extended sphere to tbe normal action ot the church.
