UNIVERSITY OF THE SoUTH,--We re.
greet to see that an acrimonious contro
versy is still going Oh between tho
friends and enemies Of the location o
the University of the South, at Sewa
nee. What ever might have been saiC
on the subject, had better been saie
before the location. 1t is now fixed
and the buildings will be erected a
the point designated, or not at all
discussion of the question seems to u
to complicate the chances of the Worl
being done at all.-NashvlNe DAILY
Neus.
Yes, the buildings wiH be erected at
Sewanec, Notwithstanding all the eff
forts of few disappointed persons
to prevent,-notwitbstanding the daz-
zle of their big monied offers to have
the location fixed at some other spot,
notwithstanding the false charges
about milk-sick, unappreciative COM
munity, cholera region, and many 9TH
er equally contemplate slanders,-in
defiance of all this, Scwanee will be
retained. Oh, how it must hurt War
rem, to know all his struggles have
fruitless resulted. The Bishops have
seen what prompted him to take such
a stand against their decision; they
have seen the unjust means he has re-
sorted to to sustain his opposition; they
have ample room to believe that the
tinsel Of that which was thought eff
cient to secure the location at Ben Lo-
mond has been used to prejudice the
minds and purchase the opinions of
editors and correspondents at a dis
lance. Common sense tells them that
it is natural for McMinnville to op.
pose the location at Sewanee, for hav-
ing failed to get it in her own vcin-
ity. it is to her local interest to have
the University farther off than Sewa-
nee. Common sense, past experience,
and the testimony of a thousand per-
sons in Franklin County all tell to the
Bishops that healthier spot than Sc
vance cannot be found in the United
States, and that if it were a sickly
place, it would not be an anxious re.
sort for invalids and persons DESTROYS
of improving their health. Oh, how
utterly contemplate, how lost to any
regard for truth does it appear, to see
men who know nothing about Sewa.
nee abusing it as an unhealthy spot
when experience gives the abuse the
lie. The Bishops have selected nice
and a superior location--one that is
healthy -one that is easy of access
the best of all places. The engineers
gave good but not exaggerated re-
port of tall unprecedented who go
there talk likewise, and the necessary
building material being there in abun-
dance, the University will go up, des-
pite the predictions of some to the
contrary. Truth has been crushed
with faIsehood by the enemies Of Sc
vance, but it will rise again and as
sumo its glorious supremacy. The
University ,oiH be built. An authori-
ty mightier than that of "Warren" or
his friends has said so. That same
authority has said it should be in the
land of the Sunny South--in Tennes-
see--and, oh, Warren at Sewanee.

The Peace Commissioners have Informed
General Johnston that the army would be

opposition to the Constitution to persecute
any one upon religious views. All are left
with the undenied and undeniable right to

conscience" This is a glorious preroga-

= En-. NoNPARErL:-Amongt tho contracts to
be let by the Drainage Commissioner on the
4th of August, I see one for Levee on the
bank Of Mosquito Greek. This Levee is to
be only 800 feet long and Is feet wide at
the top. an not Civil Engineer, but on
examining the place where the Levee is to
be thrown up, and considering the object
for which it is to be constructed, it seems to
me, first, that the embankment will not be
long enough, and second, that it is not re-
CURED to be % feet wide on the top.
The object of this embankment, is to pre-
vent the overflow of Mosquito Greek on the
bottom lands. There is one place that for
about so or 100 feet, it may require an EN-
bankment Of the width proposed by the
Drainage Commissioner. Any person who
has been near this place at the time Mosqui-
to Greek was overlooking, must know that
the Levee should be nearer 1000 feet than
300 feet long.
Who is the Engineer employed by the
commissioner? Is he competent? Does he
desire an economical expenditure of the
Swamp Land fund in works of permanence
and usefulness? Is the Commissioner sure
that the plan of the Levee proposed to be
let by him, is the very best for the purpose
desired to be attaiped? Would not Ion
ger embankment, not SO wide, be much
better?
This is an important work for Council
Bluffs. On the construction of a proper
Levee, depends the prevention by overflow of
thousands of acres of land, and, in a great
measure the health of our city.

A Buffalo Chase In Crawford County.

DENIsoN, Crawford County, Iowa.
Mr.. EDITOR You will learn by this, that
the Bufaloes are not all dead yet. On FRI
day last, (July l6th,) our citizens were
thrown into quite commotion by the an
nouncemcnt that Buffalo, that had become
detached from his fellows and wandering he
knew not whittier, was then slowly passing
through the limits of the Town, and in fact
passing close to some Of the houses. Then
commenced an exciting chase-away went
tho citizens, almost en- masse, with whoop
and hailoo, horses, dogs and guns, directly
in the wake of the Buffalo-but the dogs
pressed him so close, that before he had
gotten half mile from the outside of town,
they obliged him to stand at bay in clump
of bushes where he was surrounded and
killed, after receiving several we'll directed
shots. He weighed, when dressed, 1898
pounds-which would make his live weight
nearly 1000 pounds. He measured in cir
conference, directly behind his fore legs,
IL feet. We have all had the privilege of
ENJOYING feast on Buffalo meat, which we
little expected this side Of the Plains.
Yours Truly,

We do not think il necessary to apoio'
gize for occupying SO much space with mat
ter relating to this subject. II ~ o. tne
first importance to the citizens OF the mis-
souri, Valley, that this road should be built,
and that it should be commenced soon.
II is proposed to appropriate the Swamp
Land Fund toward the grading of this road.
There is a fitness and propricty in this APP
plication of that Fund, which may not APP
pear at first glance. The road is located
its entire distance, ON the lands from which
this Fund is derived. The FIRST object OF the
Fund is to drain these lands, and the rery
act Of building railroad ,riH drain the
lands better than they can be drained by
any other method get proposed. In order
to grade the road, it will be necessary to
cut two bitches, one on each side of the
road, and build culverts to prevent wash
ing. When these are constructed, by ditch
ing, the water on the West side can be east
ly drained into these bitches, and through
them in to the creeks and rivers. The COM
pany will be compelled to find outlets for all
the water that is thrown into these bitches.
Again: this is the easiest and cheapest
method of draining these lands. 1t will cost
no more to grade the road than it would
cost to dig these two ditches., The earth
taken from the bitches will be nearly suffi-
cient to construct the track. m.s.... ..
Once more: there is a law on our statute
books erp, essly authorizing such DISPOSE.
ton of the Swamp Land Funds. We shall
publish this law next week, and we hope
that proper steps will be Immediately taken
to secure a vote of the people Of Mills
county upon the question Of appropriating
this fund to the building of the G. B. Il St.

"Et tn Brute"

hepuDllcah oTatofs anu hepuDllcan press
es, have, from time to time, charged that
the infamous English Conference Bill made
an odious discrimination in favor of Slave
ry and against freedom-that while Kansas
could come into the Union under the Le-
compton Constitution, with population of
only 35 ,OOO-if she rejected that Constitu-
ton, she must continue in Territorial vas
salage until she had population of ut least
100000. This has ever been stoutly denied
by the various and divers organs shouting
the shibboleth of "Squatter Sovereignty"
The reputed father of this bantling, now
maintains the same doctrine that the Re-
pdblicans have been insisting upon. In his
reception speech at Chicago, Mr.. DoucLAs
used this language, which must add mate
rally to the strength of the charge made:
at is true that the mode of reference, and
the form Of submission, uas not such as I
could sanction nth mypote, for the reason
that it Disseminated betueen free States
and Slare States; providing that if Kansas
consented to come in under the Lecomptop
Constitution, it should be received with q
population of $4,000; but that if she de-
manded another Constitution, moro consist
eat with the sentiment Of her feelings, that
she should not be received into the Union
until she had SO, 400 inhabitants. | did not
consider that mode of submission fair, for
the reason that any election is mockery
which is not free-that any election is a
fraud upon the rights of the people which
holds out inducements for affirmative yotes.',

The Atlantic TeIegraph : Faii.re.

New York, July 20
The steamship Asia arrived out on the
Alb. III
The most important intelligence by this
Arrival is the failure Of the attemrt TO lay
the Atlantic cable.
The Niagara and Gorgeon arrived at
Queenstown on the 5th. The Agsmemnon
and Va1orous had Ut arrived on the 7th.
+ The niagara and Agamemnon met third
time on the 18th, and q third time connected
the cable. They then started affesh, when
the Niagara, having paid out over $50 miles
CT cable all on board entertained the most
sanguine anticipations OF success. When
the fatal announcement was made on the
goth, at 9 p. m, that the electric current had
ceased to flow, that the necessity Of aban-
doning the the project for the present was
only too manifest. 1t was considered that
the opportunity might rs we'll be availed of
to test the strength Of the cable. Accor-
dinghy, this immense vessel, with all her
stores, was allowed to sail to the cable
An additional strain of four tons was placed
upon the brakes. Yet, although it was
blowing at the time, the cable held her as if
she had been at anchor for over an hour,
when heavy pitch of the sea snapped the
rope and the Niagara bore away for Queens
town. She must have passed the Agamem-
non, but owing to the heavy fog, missed
seeing or hearing any tidings Of her. 1t
was conjectured the latter had not delivered
her specified quantity of cable at the time
of the failure, and may have consequently
returned to the place Of meeting. Should
nothing be heard of her, the Niagara would
proceed to the Ocean station, having still
on board 1,040 miles Of the cable, which,
supposing the other vessel had retained q
similar amount, will permit of the junction
being completed, and allowing 80 per cent.
for casualties.

1.-THE Union.


OF late it has become exceedingly dubious
what certain political speakers and writer's
mean when they speak of "the Union being
in danger of dissolution" Hon. Jo Lane,
OF Oregon, in recent letter to the Portland
statesman, appealing to his divided constit-
uents to heal their dissensions, says: sAll
Democrats should bear in mind that the De.
mocratic party is the Union.'
We shall understand hereafter precisely
what is meant by the political alarm of the
Union being in danger; and taking the Hon.
JOS Interpretation of the phrase, we must
admit that the danger of dissolution is immi-
nent. The Union in this State, already pre-
sents series of beautiful dissolving views.
while in the New England States it appears
to have vanished altogether, or if visible,
confined to fragments that cling round the
walls of custom houses and postofRces, like
parasites to a crumbGng ruin.-Er.
