COtsIdih't he Bought.

Immediately after the location of
the Southern University, the Chatta-
nooga Advertiser came out and charg-
ed the Bishops with all sort Of treach-
cry and mcanncss; and ever since has
been .eemng itself with abuse con
ccrning Scwanee, &c. In connection
with this we must tell an item. When
the Bishops were visiting the site near
Chattanooga, known as Look Out,
their expenses during their stay in the
town and travelling to and from Look
out amounted TO over $1,000, which
was paid by the Corporation Of Chat
tanooga, and now that Chattanooga
has failed to get the location, the Adj
vcrtiser feels quite chngrinncd that
the Bishops We're too sensible, too hon
est, too noble to allow themselves or
their true opinions to be swcrved by
such a pa'pablc sign OF petty de-
ccit. The Bishops were not to be
bought up---their minds were only to
be moved by the superior natural adj
vantagcs Of a locality, not by the mo-
mentary Inducements held out by
schcming individuals. We can thus
account for the bitterness of the Adj
vcrtiscr now--his dcnunciations, &C.,
Of those pure men who had the fixing
Of locality. Oh how it must hurt
some TO know that all their Screenings
and workings were insufficient to re-
move the fact from the minds of all
who had seen Sewancc, that it was
the great central, healthy, accessible
and beautiful spot natures handiwork
had prepared for just such a purpose
as it is now to be used for.
