KETKRAL HOSE M P.APN FHOJf THE
ISIVERSITY,
A DEEPLY 1RTER8 STING "LETTER FROM
PROFESSOR GEORGE LONG.
Jcly 3, 1875.
I beg for room to add several scraps to my
University letters:
Tbe President of tbe Alumni sent the fol
lowing response to the felegram from the
San Francisco Alumni Club:
"Your thrilling message was received
with profound sensibility when read by me
in a full meeting of tbe Alumni, and I am
unanimously Instructed to reciprocate its
kind and touching aspirations."
The following private letter from Profes
sor George Long, of England, to Professor
Henry Tutwiler was read to the Alumni, and
most enthusiastically received. There was
such a universal desire to see it in print that
I have, through the kindness of Professor
Tutwiler, secured a copy of it:
I Portfield. Chichester, May 30, 1875.
My Dear Friend,? 1 send you a few words,
at your request, which you may use as you
please.
Early in December, 1824, 1 travelled from
Washington to Fredericksburg, where 1
stayed all night. 1 do not know bow I was
known, but a gentleman called on me and
asked me to bis bouse, and I spent a pleasant
evening. 1 saw some young Virginian ladies
there, and I thought they were very charm
ing. I was amused with the curiosity which
my new friends showed to hear some news
about England, a gentleman came up to
ufc and aaked how I left Mr. Campbell, the
poet. Luckily 1 bad lately called on him in
Londou on some business about a relation of
his who thought of emigrating to America,
and 1 could therefore give a satisfactory an
swer. At Fredericksburg I first tasted corn
bread, and I used it all the time that I lived
in Virginia. 1 wish that I could have it
now.
From Fredericksburg I had a two days'
ruther unpleasant journey to Charlottesville
in the stasje-coacb. The roads were bad, the
accommodation not good, and the company
rather indifferent. The young men of the
present day can hardly conceive what this
road was then, for I suppose that there is,
uow a railroad the whole distance.
At the University 1 lived at least two'
months in the house which was assigned to
me in great solitude, and during bad weather
it would nave been still worse if 1 had not
experienced the kiuduess of tbe proctor, Mr.
Biockeubrough, whose wife's sister I after
wards married. The other professors had
? embarked iu an English vessel for Norfolk,
and tboy ,':ad a very long passage. The ship
was described to me as something like an old
bay-stack. It could just iloat aud go before
the wind. 1 had more wisely embarked in
oneof the New York America'u packets from
Liverpool. Since that time the English have
learned to build good ships for the American
trade. When my brother professors arrived i
at the University they found me eating
corn-bread and already a Virginian in tastes
and habits. Things were rather rough, but
? I have always hHd and still have the faculty
of making myself happy under any circum
stances. A few days after my arrival at the
University I walked up to Monticello to see
i Mr. Jtil'ersou. I made myself kuown to his
: servant and was introduced into his great
j room. In a few minutes a tall, dignified old
man entered, and after looking at me a mo- !
ment, said, " Are you the new Professor of
, Ancient Languages?" I replied that I was.
[ He observed, " You are very young:" to
. which I answered that I would grow older,
lie smiled, and said that was true. He was
? evidently somewhat startled at my youthful
and boyish appearance, and I could plainly
see that he was disappointed. We fell to
talking and I stayed to dine with him. He
was grave and rather cold iu his manner, but
I he was very polite; and I was pleased with
| bis simple Virginian dress, and his conversa
I tion free from all affectation. I remember
J this interview as if it took place yesterday.
I During my solitary residence before the
I University opened I visited Monticello seve
J ral times, and occasionally passed the uight
I there. 1 thought that Mr. Jefferson became
| better satisfied with the boy professor, aod
| we talked on all subjects. He saw that I
j took great interest in the geography of Ame
rica and in the story of the Revolution : aud
j he told me much about it, but in a very mod
j est way as to himself. He showed me the
I original draft of the Declaration of Independ
I ence, and he could clearly see that I was in
I habits, as 1 have always been and still am a
man who preferred plain republican institu
tions to the outward show and splendor of
I European kingdoms? when 1 say republican
institutions I mean genuine republican, for
a republic may have the name, and verv little
besides that I value. J "
I ofteu saw Mr. Jefferson between this
I time and his death. Wbea he came on his
I horse to the University he generally called
on me. llis thoughts were always about
this new place of education, of which he
J was really the founder; and though tbe first
I few years of tbe University were not quite
I satisfactory be confidently looked forward
j to the future and to the "advantages which
j tbe Star* would derive from the y.oung men
who were educated in the University of Vir
I ginia.
j 1 remember well. a long conversation
which 1 ouce bad with Mr. Jefferson on
George Washington. He spoke of him
freely and generously as of a man of great
aud noWe -character. Mr. Tucker, in his life
of Jetfe rson, bus given the character of
George Washington as Jefferson wrote it,
I aud it is, perhaps, certain that the character
was written at the time when Mr. Jefferson
spoke of Washington to me, though he told
me something more than the written charac
ter contains, .but nothing that is contradictory
te it. Tbe character is exceedingly well
written, and it proves that as a mere writer
JciTewoo might, have excelled most men of
bis day.
f dhsiwereditAat Mr. JeflVrson was well
acquainted with Polybiu*, who is not a good
writer, but a man of excellent sense and the
soutt*e?t Judgment. The last time that 1
saw iir. J(s3'erson, when he was suffering
from * ?cunpJaint which caused his death, he
was feidip# Piincy's letters, and we ba<4
some taik afcwic apasiage. A few weeks
alter, wteB I was at Uie Sweet Springs du
ring the cummer .vacation, I heard of hie
death. There was njjieh foolish display in
Virginia, and aoaie e,viray.\gaut bombastic
orations. Those whu bad more sense showed
iheir iecJing in aaother war. The man who
had done so much tor Vii^inia aud the Uni
ted States was honored lor his services, Tor
his talent*, and tor his grnid and simple
character. He ought to be revered by aii
who enjoy the advantage of being educated
io hi* iJniversity, and ever remembered a?
one of Che great men whom yirg'nia has
produced. His great deeds arc recorded on
the epitaph whieh he nrote for his own
tomb. ...
Seon after my arrival in VirginIa?I re- 1
?celved a letter from Mr. Madison, whom I
had not then seen. He asfced me if I couid
write something in the newspapers which
would give the people sosie aotfon of what
I proposed to do u a teacber in the new
Lnivenlty. 1 wrote something .which ap
peared In the Richmond Enquirer , but I
have no copy of it, Mr. Madison on read
ing what I bad written, wrote to me a very
kind letter. It is enough to say that He was
much pleased with what I bad done, and
with the plain, simple way In which I had
expressed my meaning. I often saw Mr.
Madison afterwnrds, and I think that he was
one of the most sensible men that I ever
spoke to? I do not know what I should:
think of mv youthful work If I saw it now ;
but Mr, Madison's approbation makes me
suppose that It contained good sense and
was of a practical nature, and adapted for
tbe use of the young men that I was going
to teach. The University opened, I think,
March 7, 1825. . ?
I remember one fact well. Dr. Peachy
Harrison, of Rockingham county, brought
his two sons Gessner and another. I exam
I ined them before admission, and I was much
j surprised to find that Gessner knew so much
I and knew it so well. He became my pupil
1 and my friend, and when I left tbe University
and was consulted about my successor I con
fidently recommended Gessner Harrison. It
is a pleasant recollection to me that my judg
ment was proved to be right; a painful
thought also that this excellent man has left
I the world at a comparatively early age. I
| believe from what I have heard and rdwl that
be discharged bis duties most honorably and
j with great ability, and that his name will be
always remembered in tbe Uoiversity, where
he was both a student and s professor.
A tew words about the early years of tbe
University may not be out of place here. The
j discipline of the young men was a difficult
matter ; and perhaps it may be said that for
I eigners would fail here. I am not of opinion
that t hey did fail, and I believe that they did
as well as native professors would have done,
I and even better. Tbere must be some rules
I for all places of education, and I have always
maintained that you must enforce rules as
I long as they exist. Those who know me may
I remember what a quiet, harmless young fel
I low I seemed to be; but no man was
more resolute in punishing by expulsion
violation? of the great rules of the Univer
sity, and persistent neglect of academic
duties. Jf any man is living who suffered
from this strictness, I believe that be will
admit that tbe professors were just and im
partial. 1 remember one noblevoung man,
and even hi9 name, who continually broke
all the rules about attendance at lectures,
though I often warned him of the conse
quences. He was at last sent away, and
upon my report of bis neglect. Before be
went away, he admitted that be was justly
punished. Such a youth may have made an
I excellent man, and I hope ihat it was so.
Whatever the people thought of our disci
pline, (and I believe that even those excel
lent men, the visitors, thought that we were
sometimes too severe,) I have not the least
reason to regret anything that I did. I did
what I thought was best for all
| On the occasion of one great disturbance
I tbe visitors met, and I well remember Chap
man Johnson speaking to me and another
I professor whom I do not name. We were
greatiy dissatisfied with tbe state of things.
I shall never forget that bright, intelligent
I face; that slow, deliberate, and persua*iye
manner of this eminent lawyer's. I conclude
by saying that before 1 left the University
there was a great improvement. There was
more work done, belter order kept, and lean
say that during the last year of my residence
I was quite happy. The difficulties of tbe
professors at the beginning were such as any
J mm who knew Virginia at tdat time might
I have expected. A little training was all that
I was wanted. I believed, and I still believe,
I that \ never had more youths of good abili
ties under me, nor youths more capable of
being made good and useful men.
i During Gessner Harrison's life I occasion
ally heard from him, and also from the dear
friend to whom I send these lines, and whom
I stiU hear from. I have information that
the University of Virginia is now a success
ful place of education, and I trust and hope
that it will always be improving.
One of my most pleasant remembrances of
this country is a letter which 1 received from
General Lee, written a very short time be
fore his death. It is a letter in which he
thauks me for a copy of my second edition of
the translation of Marcus Antoninus, which
I sent to him. Tbe cause of mv sending it is
sufficiently explained in a note" at the begin
ning of tbe book. My admiration of this no
ble V irginlan is unbounded. He was a good
man, and a soldier such as the world has
rarely seen. The youth of Virginia can
ne\er find a better example for them to imi
tate than General Lee, who is onp of the last
of those illustrious men whom Englishmen
ought to veuerate as much as their own
countrymen. George Long.
H. Tutiniler , Esq., Greene Springs, Ala.
Tbe reception given the older alumni bp
their younger brothers was always hearty
and enthusiastic, and Professor William B.
Rogers had a mo3t cordial greeting. In the
course of the very eloquent speech which
be made he said that tbe University of Vir
ginia was really the only University on the
continent, and that Yale and Harvard are
only now beginning to approximate whit
this University was twenty-five years ago.
The name of Dr. Gessner Harrison, when
ever mentioned, elicited the warmest ap
plause, and many loving words were spoken
of bim by his old pupils.
The whole occasion seems to have inspired
tbe alumni with a purpose to work for tbe
University as they have never done before,
and the outlook is brighter than ever.

Richmond, Va., July 2, 1875,
To General B. T. Johnson :
Your plan to raise the credit of the city
by a sinking fund, and thus enable her to
borrow money on better terms, is very good,
provided the city wishes to borrow on bet
ter terms ; but it woull .?eem to be the policy
of the city to pay more for money than it is
offered at ; and, as you are good at figures, I
will ask you to look at this statement: 85 is
now bid for city six per cent, bonds, and the
city is offering eight per cent, bonds at 102 ;
therefore, to raise $102,000 she would have
to sell $100,000 eight per cent, bonds at 102,
or $120,000 six per cent, bonds at 85. The
eight per cent, bonds would cost the city
$8,000 a year. The $120,000 six per cent,
bonds would cost $7,200 a year? a saving of
$800 a year, which seems small, but it is large
enough in the hands of sinking-fund com
missioners invested in the same bonds at 85
to pay off the v hole of the principal at ma
turity (say thirl /-four years). Therefore, by
,the annual pa ment of $8,000 the city can
p*y off the wl.ole of the principal and in
terest of $10?, 000 borrowed on 6 per cent,
bonds at present price, while she prefers to
borrow the same amount in 8 per cent, bonds ;
which costs as much annually, with the prin
cipal to he paid by our innocent and iniured
posterity; hence why attempt to borrow
money at a lower rate, while the city gives
the preference to the higher rate ? But seri
ously, General, do you know that there are
no city bonds to be bad from second band*;
that if the city did not offer 9J per cent, for
money (8 per cent, and no tax), she could
sell 7 per cent, bonds at par ? Baltimore 6's
are above par, Richmond 6's will go to par as
soop.as the city stops offering percent, for
money. . Ckedit.
Henrico county, July 271875. 1
Editors Dispatch: I- would' like to ask
through your columns whether or not the
citizens of Henrico, living in tfce vicinity of
the new reservoir, have any rights which the
officials of Richmond are bound to respect?
I am led to this query by the fact that in a
number of places the dirt thrown into the
trench in which the pipes leading to the new
reservoir have been recently laid, has sunken
considerably, in some instances as much as
two feet. As the carriage-way on one side
of the street (and in some places the surplus
dirt monopolizes the other side) is very nar
row, the danger to those who have to drive,
along Maiu street at night to leach fceir
homes is great. 4 ?
Last night a vehicle drove into one of these
gorges, but fortunately entered at one end
and drove through. Had the wheels on only
one side run into the place, the vehicle mu9t
liave been overturned, and probatfly the
driver and horse seriously injured.
