Ilccausu when Sewanee was clio
t il as the site of the University, tho
iiunn was unknown, it was at once
concluded that it was remote and out
of the way. Thin is the usual reason
it:;; of the world, and was as false in
i ' 1 1 a instance as it is in most others
t,wancc, as will be seen by tho ac
companying map, is in connection by
Jliiil and Electric Telegraph with ev
ery portion of the South and West.
The Kail Koad of the Sewanee Min
ing Company passes by the eloor ol the
L'ni verwity, and five miles from it unites
at Cowan with tho Chattanooga and
villr. Rail Road. This gives di
rect access on the one hand by Kail
'.the capital of Tennessee, and thence
by turnpike to Kentucky and Ohio,
ii rid on tho other hand by Rail to
Chattanooga, there uniting with that
net-work of roads which run through
J) tlton and Dnoxvillo to Virginia and
through Atlanta to Montgomery, Col
umbus, Macon, Savannah, Augusta,
Charleston, Columbia, S. C, Charlotte,
N. C, and Wilmington. At Stevenson
the Nashville and Chattanooga R. R.
i iiiinccts with the Memphis it Charlcs
ton Road, which brings Sewanee into
immediate contact with Memphis and
Arkansas, and when the New Orleans
:uid Jackson Itond (now in rapid pro
(.Teas) is completed, with tho whole of
M.ssissipl, West Alabama and New
irlcana. The Wills' Vall.-y Rail
Road also connects with the Chatta
nooga and Nashville Rail Road, and
brings North and Middle Alabama
inlo close proximity with the Univer
mity, so that instend of being out of the
way, it can be reached from any and
f-vr ry point of the ten Dioceses, Tex-
a j excepted, within forty-eight hours.
AM-1 from many of the large cities,
t.'.irty hours will be sufli'-ient for the
j i;:niey. When to this is ndded the
ii,uu of Rleclric Telegraph, which
p.wjps the foot of tho plateau, there
ir it but few parents who might not
ln.-ar within a few hours of tho welfare
t.'f their children, and who might not
reach them in any case of necessity,
within from one to two days travel.
So far then from being remote, it is
Almost an equi distant centre, not in
utiles perhaps, but certainly in means
t-f communication, from the IJiucims
forming tho confederation.
The salubrity of the climate is be
vui:'l all nui'Ntion. It is free from fe-
v.i s of all kind it is abovo the re
f :i of cholera the therinometrical
i.iigc in summer seldom exceeds Hu
and the winter climate is not nearly
h j severe as that of the Northern Col
J' gcs to which our sons are freely
H- iit. Ono remarkable feature of this
plateau is its dryness, which is evinced
by the lack of lichens upon tho trees, by
i!.:o entire absence of moss or parasites
!i wing upon humidity, and by the free
dom (ruin decay of tho fallen timber.
Af-er a tree has fallen for yearn and
the bark separates from it, it scpar
ajes without any decay of cither bark
or wood, l'leurisy and Pneumonia
..re almost unknown. Strict examin
.'Ui.ni was made of persons having no
interest in the matter, who testified
.ic and all, that there could be no
j ;rs'.ion upon tho subject of its health
Hut whatever may bo the
re verity of the winter climate, it need
n il ba encountered by the students.
It. is well known that October and No
vcinbcr are two of the most delicious
months upon these plateaus, and our
vacation can bo so arranged as to (lis
; nisi the University about the middle
f December, and, allowing the usual
I t.riod of vacation, work would not
t.r resumed until the middle of March
VIiij throws out the only three months
tvhich might bo too severe and returns
-. young men to their homes, as we
r.A before, during the season in which
i':.f.;c Parent will be most glad to see
tV in, and when they will keep up the
.!. Vats of life which are to be theirs in
t be future. .
We fcol almost aihumed to say any
i .'nr.? upon the silly cry of milk sick
ness which has been so pertinaciously
i.red against this locality. Like ev
f ry thing that is distant and mysterious.
it s t ins to be dreadful Because no.
body knows what it is, it is invested
vnh additional horror. It it mogni
'.x.l until fond parent jmagine it to
i-c bn epidemic like yellow fever, of
. r.o.'rrs, or small poi, sweeping offits
xi.!t-J and desolating neighbor-i-jrit.
But the momeDt jrou approach
j r u r.uheJ Even when it did ex
ist, a glicration back, it: was as, rare
as a rattlesnake bite, or a spider sting.
Rut it always goes out with popula
tion and cultivation; and Physicians,
of the highest standing, assert that
tlieyhave not seen a case for the last
twenty years, although their practice
lies all through the coves in which it
is said to exist. Since tho Hoard have
come upon tho spot, nobody has dared
to mention it. Jt did very well for a
war-cry at Montgomery, but at Se
wanee and Rersheba, not a word is
said about it. And for tho very best
reason, because gentlemen of tho
highest respectability are cultivating
those very coves and living in them
with their families, because all the
cattle of tho valleys are sent into these
coves and upon these mountains du
ring tho summer months, and because
nobody hesitates to cat freely of the
bi ef and l.u t t which are offered I i n
here unci to drink the rich milk as if it
was water. At Heersheba Springs,
at Altamniit, at Tracy City, at Cow
an, at Winchester, (which places sur
round the University site ) everybody
partakes, without scruple, of any food
that is set before him, and lli' re.'.i -
dents would as soon expect to find
arsenic in llieir water as poison m
their milk and beef. The charge is
simply li liculouK, inl the students of
the University would have, about as
much to dread from milk sickness as
from tliu Iniliaiis who once roamed
over these hills and swarmed in these
valleys.
All these au vantages of climate,
accessibility, healthfiilness, proximity
to the Cotton growing region, offer to
the friends of tin- students strong in
ducements to sett hi around tho Uni
versity, and form, fr ihn summer
months at least, a fine society for the
Professors and Students. These fami
lies will attract others, and very soon
as much society will be gathered about
the University as shall bu advanta
geous to the young men. Every fa
cility will bo afforded by sale and
leasehold for the building of ornamen
tal cottages and villas around the
University, and it. will exhibit the same
aspect as West Point docs in the sum
mer, with this superiority: thut besides
the transient visitors who will take
this place en route for the Southern J
springs and the Aorlheru lities, there
will he a much larger settled popula
tion spending tho summer months
among the mountains. The chances
are that (here will bo too much, rather
than loo little oeiely.
Such are tho reasons which have
induced the Hoard of Trustees to ad
here to their choice of Sewanee as the
fittest site for the University. They
have but one object in view, the best
interests of the Institution which they
are endeavoring to create for the ben
efit and blessing of the Southern
States. Could they have been swny
ed by any mercenary or short sighted
motives, inducements of a pecuniary
kind would have directed their atten
tion elsewhere. Rut they were act
ing under aMilemu sense of the deep
responsibility which rested upon them
in this matter. They (nit that they
had volunteered to perform for the
South a work which was to bless it lin
ages to come, which was to mould its
morals and its learning, which was to
raise its trailing banner from the dust
nnd plant it upon an opi.il height
with those of other civilized people,
If they failed, the scheme was likely
to fall with them. Its very magnitude
would prevent others from undertak
ing it, and there would be no hope of
high scholarship engendered among
ourselves. We should continue to be
dependents in this as in every thing
else. Wo should continue to import
Teachers, Clergymen, Professors, and
Literary men from other binds. We
should return nothing to the common
stock of literature and science, and
should bo aliens from the common
wealth of letters. We should leave
uur institutions with the stigma resting
upon them of degrading instend of el
evating our social condition. All
these consequences wcro before us
when we made our choice, and in full
view of them, with a holy pride for
tho elevation of our homes, with a
becoming zeal for tho moral culture
of our people, with a love, passing the
love of woman, for the land of tho
sun and the slave, we were willing to
stake our judgments upon the selection
and leave it to time to vindicate its
soundness.
And we call upon the men of the
South to rally around us; not upon
churchmen only, but upon all good
men and true of whatever name and
profession! We have undertaken this
thing as a Church, because there was
no other way of doing it. The
government of such an university
must be an unit, harmonious in its
princples. views and feelings. Hut it
is in no sense intended to tie sectarian

In a State Institution. It can bo ao
comnlishcd only through a body,
whose principles are settled, whose ba
sis is immovable, whose officers are
permanent, whose spirit, while deter
mined, is large and comprehensive,
Confident in our possession of these
things wo have undertaken this task.
We have shadowed forth our ideal
wo have laid the foundations broad
and deep. It remains for you to rally
around us, and by your wealth, your
active co-operation, to enable us to
build up an University which shall
offer your sons the highest literary
culture, which shall surround your
homes with the refinement of sholar
ship and piety, and which shall vindi

We lay before our readers, this
week, the Address of the Hoard of
Trusters of the University of the South.
Let no one fail to read tcr.rij word of it.
It emiiiatesfrom able, well-known and
unimpeachable men, whose opinions
will have a tremendous nnd happy
influence; upon tho minds of all unbi
ased persons. Every paper in the
South ought to copy it, and we think
will. To us who live around nnd at
Sewanee the hcalthfulness, beauty,
accessibility, and superior advantages
of the spot arc known. Rut there arc
many who have to be guided by what
they read and hear, and se.me of them
havo, we regret to say, been misled by
giving too much credence to rumors
and reports, yet, we feel that all such
will who hn goveniHil by this state:
merit of eminent and worthy men who
base the'ir premises upon personal ob
servations, find who havo been at
much troulilo to satisfy themselves
well in order to bo the better prepared
to satisfy others.
We respectfully ask every exchange
wn have to copy the "Address," for it
relates to a matter of great importance
to the whole South.
THE I'lilNCil'LE OF THE TRINtJ.
A deep sense of justice underlies all
the pe tty passions and selfishness
which agitato the human breast.
The worst men sympathize at heart
with goodness, and hate and tyranny.
Though the pit of a theatre may be
filled with thieves and pirates, you
shall see them all to a man, manifest
their gratification at the poetic justice
rendered in the last act, to all parties
on tho scene; npplauding the defeat of
villiany, and greeting with heartfelt
cheers, even with sofleneel faces nnd
glistening eyes, tho final triumph of
suffering virtue.
Personal interest nnd prejudice may
blind men to the right, and drive them
to trample! upon it; still the great heart
of the people throbs in sympathy with
the wronged and oppressed, and a rude
mob will sometimes tight for princi
ples, like n lioness for her whelps. It
was not the mere tax levied upon the I
American colonies that caused them
to revolt, but tho injustice involved
which so fired the semis of our revolu
tionary fathers that men who would
not give a penny at the demand of
tyrrany were found ready to pledge
their fortunes and their lives to the
cause of freedom.
Ah old man in Williamson enmity,
Tenn., w ho is now N5 year of age,
says he never took a chew of tobacco,
though making millions of pounds of
it, in his life; never smoked a cigar or
pipe, and never had on a pair of hoots.
Ft. One of tho editors of the n
ton Post says: "Wo have enjoyed tho
world as much as others, but have
never been happier than when, as a
boy, we found a partridge's nest, with
eleven eggs in it."
Goon Prices. Product u ruling st

make pjofitabls sales. U'lieri selling

Bscon. hoc round, city cured, extensive
sales at 10 cents country cured would
bring from 9 to OJ cents: Several lots

good and such as to amply repay the
farmer for his toil. All kinds of stock

DEMOCRATIC MEETING. ,
On Monday the 7th inst, at tho
Courhouse in Winchester, there was a

Ikard. T. J. Jackson, II. 0. W. Grant,
and P. Turney, Esqr.
The committee reported the follow
ing: Resolved, That while difference of
opinion will of necessity exist upon
questions of local policy, and an at
tempt, therefore, to enforce any pecu
liar views would be of doubtful utility,
yet, we believe the democracy of the
State owe it to the true interests ol
tho country to seek a radical refor
mation in the Ranking policy, which
has been the fruitful source of injury
to the people.
Jii'solned, That in our opinion no
Rank should be permitted to exist
hereafter without throwing around it
such guards and restrictions as will
insure a circulation at all time con
vertible into gold and silver, and ren
der them strictly responsible for a fail
ure to establish such circulation, and
that the Banking Capital so used
should be reduced to the smallest pos
sible itmount, that would meet the
wants and demands of the trade and
commerce of the country.
Resolved, That tho Democracy of
Yanklin County, being well pleased
with the course of the Hon. Isham G
Harris, during his present term as
Governor, most earnestly recommend
him as a suitable candidate for reelec
tion to the office.
Resolved, That the chairman of this
meeting appoint two or more of the
citizens of each civil district in this
County as delegates to the next Gu
bernatorial convention to be held in
Nashville on the 17th day of March
next.

from Franklin whe may attend said
Convention are appointed dclligates to
the same.

giving pensions to the old soldiers,
and in favor of a convention to nomi

other counties to express their views
in relation thereto.
And supported his views upon the
subjects of tho resolution, in a speech
of some length.
P. Turney, Esqr., offered to amemd
said resolution so as to reud as fol
lows:
Resolved, That we are in favor of giv
ing pensions to the old soldiers, nnd
in favor of a convention to nominate
a candidate for Congress from this
district, when those aspiring to the
office shall have canvassed their po
sitions throughout the district, uud
the proper rule is settled for the gov
ernment an I vote of that convention,
and we ask the democracy of the oth
er countiss in the district to express
their views in relation thereto.
The amendment was accepted by
Mr. Estill. -
Col. Taz. W. Newman moved to
amend this resolution by striking out
all of it relating to a convention.
Upon this question the meeting was
addressed at length by Col. Newman,
Col. Francis, Mr. E-itill, Mr Turney,
