1t is but little more than twenty-six years
since this institution was founded, under the
immediate supervision and guidance Of Thos.
Jefferson, yet it is fast becoming one Of the
first colleges in the land. The system of
education adopted here being comparatively
new, is not well understood, and even
where it is, the literary world is somewhat
at variance with regard to its utility. Its
opposers are chiefly to be found among the
graduates, and those connected by interest
with the old order Of things; those whose
great boast it is, that the experience of two
centuries has given authority to their sys-
TEN; and they therefore think themselves
justified in frowning down any innovation
upon what they regard as perfect in itself,
and venerable from antiquity. Surely there
is no pride so great as that of education, and
few attachments stronger than those felt
towards ones Alma Mater. This may serve
as an apology. But ours is the age of pro-
gress and reformation. 1t is beginning 10
be understood that the old college system, by
attempting too much, rarely accomplishcs
anything--it would guage every capacity tc
the same level-it would drive all around
the same treadmill-so that while very
few are suited and really benefited, the
great majority never even appreciate the
true object Of education and graduate, re-
joicing that they are at last free from all
college restraints. Such results and such
feelings must surely be owing TO radica
defect in the course and manner of instruc.
ton. In order TO remedy this defect the
University has adopted course of optiona
tickets, open to the choice Of the student oil
parent, so that the genius and capacity O
each may be suited; while at the same time
to those who are SO dispose, every facilit!
is offered for acquiring the established de-
greeS of the schools-and here ii may b.
remarked that no college in the L. States il
, more thorough or extensive in its examine
!, tons for degree than this-in fact man!
who desire to become A. BIS or A. Ms g,
somewhere else, because this is toe harC
for them.
, The really useful, practical men, and rip
scholars that the University annually turl
out, is an evidence Of its worth, and III,
number of students that flock to it from
all parts of the Union proof Of its estima
ton. Indeed, the South may well be prou'
OF this seat of learning, and New Englan'
need not fear to follow her in the footstep
Of those who have heretofore paid tribut
to her superior institutions. 1t is a system
SO founded on common sense, and suited t.
the wants of a democratic people that it can
not fail of success. 1t possesses, also
what should be the sine qua non of ever
co!ege--a remarkably healthy location
Just in the midst of the mountains ''higI
and airy" above all lniasmatic influences
and while sufficiently retired, the city c
Charlottesville, in the neighborhood, sup
plies many conveniences, and prevents mo
notony. Academic CIVIS.

Hon, Jas. s. Green.

A democrat of Boone Ga Benton dem
ocrat, of coursc,) writes to the Editor OF
the 'sStatesman" as follows, in reference to
the gentleman whose name heads this arti-
Gle.
The past Legislature elected Wing Uni
ted States Senator by coalition Of few
rottons, who escaped the malady that killed
so many of them last August. The Dcmoc-
racy of Missouri have repudiatcd these rot
TONS and have put them in the "deep ditch.
They will have to remain there, unless
your party, Mr.. Editor, extend TO them the
hand Of suffrage; but in doing so you will
have to be very careful or they will botray
YOU But 10 the point. James S. Green is
an aspirant for seat in Congress. Now,
for one, l will never vote for him; and ]
know the Democracy will not accuse me Of
Violating any of its old cherished principles,
but on the contrary applaud me for carrying
out one of its cardinal principles-to repu-
date any man that has been guilty Of a
reasonable act. Green was guilty of this
when he signed the Southern Address, and
he must be repudated. And for one will
use all my inhuedce in defeating him. A
good Wing that cherishcs the institutions Of
his country will get my support in prefer
encc to one who favors disunion as Green
has DONE And no national Democrat will
vote for him. He betrayed his country
once, and it is not safe 10 try him again.
His acts are above party considerations. -
Every Democrat ought TO look well TO the
past acts of all such men as Green and
Atchison. Green is gifted with a good deal
of ability, and with shrcwdness that is like
ly to deceive the unsuspecting; but beware
of his deceitiul tongue! 1t betrayed us once
and if an opportunity offers will do SO again
Let Reputation of all such men be the
watch-word Of every Democrat in this dis
trict when they are called upon to select i
man to represent them. We have good and
sound Democrats who will represent this
district with ability, and whose unhinching
! character and soundnes of Democratic prin-
cpes will place a sufficient confidence il
their constituency, so that we will not fail tt
elect them, and they will prove faithful SEN
tinels Of the Democratic faith.

Charlton Democratic Meeting

The Democracy of Charlton held amect-
ing in Keytesville, on the 10. John d.
Locke, Esq, presiding.
After explanations of the object of the
meeting by Gen. Sterling Price, and B. F.
Stringfcllow, Esq. Gen. Price offered the
following resolutions:
Resolved, That five Delegates to the
State Convention be appointed by the Chair
man.
Mr.. Stringfellow in few remarks said
that he understood the object Of the State
Convention to be 10 endeavor to bring about
fair and honorable and distinct settlement
of the matters which had divided the party,
and that he thought this could only be effect
ed by q fair representation Of the two divi-
sions of the party. He declared that by the
vote for members of Congress in 1850 il
appeared that the Anti-Benton party had
twice the number of the Benton party in
Charlton county, and he thought the dele
gates should bear the same proposition.
Gen Price did not admit that there was a
majority of Anti-Benton democrats in the
county, and was opposed to any mention Or
dispute between them. He therefore amend
ed his resolution so as TO read as follows:
Resolved, That six delegates to the State
Convention, three from each wing Of the
Democratic party be appointed by the Chair
man.
Mr. Stringfellow moved to amend by strik-
ing out 'three from each wing of the demo-
cratic party" and inserting "four from the
Anti-Bcnton and two from the Benton dem
ocrats."
By vote of the meeting, the amendment
of Mr. Stringfelow was adopted.
Henry Shannon, Stark Nancy, Thomas
Doxey and DR.. Grinstead, Anti; and Gen.
S, Price, and John T. Doxcy, Benton, were
then appointed by the Chair.
On motion Of Gen. Price, the Chairman
was authorized to appoint five delegates to
the Congressional Convention. The fol-
lowing gentlemen were accordingly appoint

CnARIrox DrMocRAT1c MEErING.-We
give in another column the proceedings Of
the Democratic meeting in Charlton, and
have learned some further particulars, from
one who was present, since they were re-
ceived It seems the Bentonites were
peaceably disposed, and made no special eff
fort to get up a large meeting, nor did they
care about the character of the delegation,
knowing they would have a majority Of the
Convention. The leading Antics held
themselves uloof, as they say, not be bound
by the proceedings of the State State Con-
ventior. If the convention dominates u
ticket that suits them, they will support it:
if otherwise, they will oppose it. So neither
party cared particularly about it. The vote
on the resolution appointing delegates, Civ
ing preference to the Antics, stood, l6
Antics, 10 Bentonitcs.

Stockholders Meeting.

A meeting of the Stockholders of the
Glasgow and Huntsville Plank Road compa-
ny, convened at Huntsville, on the 18th,
pursuant to adjournment, for the purpose of
locating the balance of the Road-it having
been located at previous meeting from this
place to Mr.. P. w. Hally's near Roanoke.
The vote was first taken upon resolution
locating the road from the above point to
Roanoke, and decided in the Affirmative
A resolution was then offered and adopted,
locating the road from Roanoke to Hunts
vile on what is known as the Middle route,
passing from Roanoke, by VIM. Lockridge,
Vim. Upton, Geo. Mathis, Samuel c. Davis,
and on to Huntsville.
The Capital stock Of the company is limit
ed to $4,000, with the privilege of bor-
rowing $4,000. The full amount of cap
ital stock was subscribed, which it is believ-
ed will more than complete the work. The
Letting of the work is to take place the LIST
of June. Several letters have been re-
ceived from Contractors, some of whom are
ready to begin the work at an early day, if
terms can be agreed upon before the time
set for letting.
The report oPthe committee on Construc-
ton, which was adopted by the meeting,
provides for building on the most approved
and substantial plan, so that, when complet-
ed, the road will be durable, and not likely
to get out Of repair.
Discretionary power was given TO The
President and Board of Directors, 10 make
such changes, not materially diverging from
the main route, as, in their judgment, would
be for the interests of the company. They
are now reviewing the whole route, and
making some alterations, which, we under
stand, will shorten the distance, and at the
same time not increase the expense Of con-
struction. This should be done in all adj
missablc instances. We think by this CON-
ing fall year, the entire route will be COM
! pleted, and yielding handsome dividend.
