But why should we notice such low
attempts to injurc the University Ev-
cry unbiased person who has read the
article in the Advertiser can perceive
that the editor was boiling over with
prejudice, envy, malice, puerility, and
every contemplate vice, when in his
fit he wrote his discourse upon the ac'
tons of the meeting at Montgomery
The article is far beneath the dignity
of a man. and is calculated to injure
rather than obtain cncoLiums for the
writer He stands isolated almost in
his bit of fault, finding, and we believe
ever will,
And by way of conclusion, Mr. Ad-
vcrliscr, let US remark, that Chatla-
nooga offers less attractive advanta-
ecs than Scwance. As "a ~ roads
place-as a landing--as n place for
shipping produce, and packing pork
Chattanooga deserves some consldcra'
ton. but as u more secluded and yet
equally accessible point, Sewanee has
no equal. 1t is high and healthy, with
plenty of timber and other material
for building purposes, u hracing at
mosplcre, without the reach Of MAS
matte vapors, and furnished with bet
ter water than anypIacc we know OF,
In short we challenge you as a gen
tlcynan to find a single fault about the
location that the places you have
named do not possess, and then we
propose to demonstrate that it has at
least ten advantages that Chattanooga
never did and never will boast OF, even
if you were to remain there till you
became as old as the world ltself.-
And VIC would further say, that it is
our opinion, and the opinion Of scores
Of others, that the great Southern Uni
versity will live and flourish in gran
deur and prosperity, at S'ewance, long
after the editor of the Advertiser
shall have been gathered to the home
Of his fathers and his bit Of vituper-
alton shall be remembered no more
forever. Such a result justice de-
mands. and so mote it be.

4 PROPOSITION.

We have a proposition to make to the
good people Of Winchester and Franklin
County, which we believe their friendship
and good will for US may prompt them &c
accept. 1t is this We want a PRESS
not hand, press, but an Adams Power
Press,.-one that will print 600 papers
per hour, and enable us to execute book
and pamphlet printing in as good style
as can be done in cities. But before stat
ing our proposition, we deem it necessa'
~ to mention our reasons for desiring such
a press, and 10 show that we have no Wis.
ionary enterprise in view. There is in
the future a bright and hattcfing pros
pect for large increase of printing in
this neshborhood provided the facilities
are furnished to secure it. OF course we
do not actually need such a press for the
number Of papers we issue now. They
count up only about 600, which, though
attended with considerable labor, can be
pulled off on hand press such as we
have. But, known to ourscIi, there will
soon be q demand for ten, aye twenty
times the amount Of press work nowne Zee.
cssary on the Home Journal And in
case our proposition succeeds we firmly
believe that the increase Of subscribers
to the Journal will demand such press,
for then Of course we would enlarge it to
a size that would certainly secure the
patronage Of every man in the county Of
Franklin who feels spark of county
pride. The size Of the press we now
use will not allow US to enlarge our pa.
per an iota, else we should have done so
before now. Besides, we are compelled
sometimes to turn off jobs that we find
ourseIf unprepared to do because of It's
sma Illness.
We are compelled to leave out two
columns of advertisements, this week,
in order TO get in reading matter that
could not we'll be deferred.
Now, we ask the people Of Franklin
County--we ask any OF our readers TO do
US kind favor by going our security for
a press and office that will lie an honor
to Winchester, and that will merit the
highest praise for Franklin county in
every place where the Home Journal
may circulate. But what do mean by so.
Letting you to so our security! Simply
this: Such press as the one in qucs.
ton can be bought for about $500. Al
leus,, we will only ask $500 TO enable
us to accomplish our design.
Now, are there eight men who will
subscribe 500 each, and own the press
under an agreement that it shall be coded
10 US when we pay the same amounts
back 10 them respectively Or, if eight
such cannot be found, are there &c men

CHATTANOOGA Advertiser.


This is the name Of paper pub
lished at Chattanooga, Tenn. In lt'
issue Of the Sd inst, it publishes abou
n column and "a half Of abuse con
corning the Southern University an'
the Bishops who selected Sewanee as
it's location. We would like to give
the article in toto, just to let our read
crs see the sordid motives and corrupt
heart that must have characterized
the editor at the time he pennod the
dirty article. 1t is dirty article, and
its puerility and contcmptiblcness rem
der i, unworthy Of respectable notice
--such a one as VIC feel constrained,
though, to give it. Merely because
Chattanooga was not selected as the
spot for the location Of the University,
the editor seems to think all the rest OF
the world is O mass Of whisltey and
corruption, and he even goes SO far as
to say that the members in attendance
were drunk. Such stuff as that, though,
is of itself condemnalory of any cdi,
tor that would publish it. He says,
"that ,jealousies, selfish combinations,
individually and collectively, holy and
unholy, crept into the consecrated DO
dy of Episcopals, is truly wonderful,
unexpected and notifying" Now,
we do not, nor will any sensible and
appropriated person, entertain any
such idea of the members who COM
posed the Montgomery Association,
And the editor seems horror-strickcn
because the location is at SeW0nee,
"where the dangers Of milk-sickness
are greater than in a grove Of Upas
trees" Where did you get your infor-
nation, Mr.. Advertiser And, please
sir, tell us and your readers why not a
single case of ilk-sickness has oc-
CURED out of over 1000 persons who
were for two or three years engaged
at work, and scattered all along the
awful place you seem to think Sc
vance is! And why do we never hear
of any such case now, when several
hundred persons are situated in its
midst. But, oh, he says Sewance is an
Indian name, and means miE-sickncss.
Here again we are stumpcd to know
where he gets his information. Did
YOU find the meaning of lSe,cancc in
the dictionary, or have you been out
among the Indians, and seen some of
the cows they had which were killed
by eating milk-sick. Why, Mr.. Ad
vertiser, you have become scared at Il
name. Shakespeare has said "there is
nothing in a name," but you would
have the great Southern University
situated in your town because SeDanee
IS not the name. Why, sir, if your phi
anthropy is so great, why not repair
at once to Nashville, and have the
name of that hotel called Scwancc
changed. Go, else we shall soon hear
IF all It's boardcrs dying with the
nilk-sick. But let us caution you not
o suggest for the change the name of
hat creek or river near Chattanooga
which in Indian means "River of
Death"
The Advertiser states that Bishop
Polk said the coves around Sewanee,
which were infested by this "contam-
nation" (milk-sickness) could be "iill-
d up" Bishop Polk said no such
hing. He said that by cultivating
he valleys, or covcs, the milk-sick
,ould be destroyed. And such has
cen proven to be the the fact. We

Uncle SMlna's Farm.

Two centuries ago Uncle Sam ttaS an
infant, and his present farm was the red
mans wild. The Indian was no farmer.
Hc left the soil nnturned, the trees to
grow as they chose, tho crUcks and rivers
to flow as they pleased, the useful metals
undisturbcd in their bed. His house was
of poles, covered with the skins Of beasts.
He made no roads, no vehiclca, no\ boat
but a hollow log.-He- stole his clothes
from the animals, or went unclad. The
plumes Of birds, beads of bexch shells,
the schoolbOy's paint stone, were his or
naments. The cane and flint furnished
him arrows. Ills pipe was stone with
hole in it his knife stone xharpeMed;
his grist mill two stones, the rudcst things
that can be called mortar.
Uncle Sans first crops were enriched
with his own, and Indian, and British
blood. Then he began to tear down bis
old log barns and build better, to open
roads, cut canals, improve hatbors, rake
snags from the rivers, and cover the States
over with net work of railroads. -
Uncle Sam snaps his thumb and finger,
and cities spring up like the creations Of
magic; he blocks out State, and sees a
building more glorious than the full bios.

Good Heart aud willing Hand.
ny CHARLES MAcKAY,

In storms or shine, two friends of mine
Go forth to work or play,
And when they visit p0'r mems homes,
They bless them bEahe way.
'Tis willing hand! It's cGetrfnl heart.
The two best friends / know,
Around the hearth comes joy and mrth
Whcrc'cr their faces glow
Come shine-'tis bright! come durk-'tis light
Come eold-'tis warm ere long!
So heavily fall the hammer streke !-
Merrily sound the song!
Who falls may stand, if good right hand
Is first, not second best; =
Who wcePs may sing; if kindly heart
H"s'lodgng in his brcast,
The humblcst board has daintics poured.
When they sit down tQ dine:
The crust they eat is honey sweet,
The water good as wine,
They ill the purse with honest gold;
They lead no creatures wrong;
50 heavily full the hammer stroke;
Mcrlily sound the song!
Without these twain, the poor complain
OF evils hard to bear, .--'
But with them poverty grows rich,
And finds loaf TO spare!
Their looks are tirc-their words inspire
Their deeds give courage high;
ABOUT their knees the children run,
Or climb, they know not why.
Who sails, or rides, or walks with them
Ne'er finds the journey lOng;-
So heavily fall the hammer stroke!
Merrily sound the song!
