...OF The.
State of California.

TENHE BOARD are able to announce that the Agri-
III cultural and Mechanical University of the State of
California will commence its first session the 23d
of November next. 1t is IL private enterprise They
ask no gift or donation of a generous public. They
ask only to be patrohized. An Institution learning
must like every other enterprise be deserving to be
sustained if worthy the pub ic Will support WE'LL if
not, no bequest of dying millionaire make it
cessiul. The University is business enterprise. Its
projectors are working men, They intend to make it
in every way worthy of the people of the Golden State
confident that the people will appreciate their efforts
1t is working mans college. We believe that the
farmer and the mechanic need education just as
much as the lawyer and the doctor, the common man
as much as the professional gentleman Has the far
mer less need of brains than the attorney the inven-
torthaa the physician! The colleges OF the present
time are ceTishng mothers for young physicians and
lawyers and preachers but the son of toll finds them
steI-mothers who thrust him aside for longgowned
young professor who intends to rise above labor.
Our University shall be mother the aborer who with
the sweat his brow and the his hands stands
forth in the true dignity of his race-the full grown
developed man.
The Board have located their Institution at Healds-

The Seminary Question.

On our first page will be found somewhat
spicy article from a :" Grant Co." correspond
eat, in reply to the rather caustic comnuHica- I
,ion of " More Anon" which appeared IN our
columns short time since upon The subject OF
the Mineral Point Seminary. We regret ex-
ceedingly that any cause should exist for 4 con-
troversy calculated IN any way to lbJure The
reputation of the Seminary. c. any one IN ITS
interest, for notwithstanding the uncalled for
vitupurations Of Individuals connected
with that institution against the Tribune. our
only dest.e In relation TO the Mineral Point
Seminary is that il may prosper, and become
Ell that ats most ardent friends anticipate. Such
We believe TO be the sentiment OF nearly every
person in this community, and such Is desl-
rable for the interests Of the place.
We believe the true cause of the complaints
the part of the citizens OF this City arise
from the conflicting interests Of the Seminary
and our Public Schools The tax payers Of the
Town and City having been induced TO vote for
the Issue Of town bonds in security for loan of
$4,000 for the benefit of the Seminary, under
the solemn pledge the part Of the friends Of
that institution, that they should never be taxed
for either principal or interest said loan. are
taken all aback, and some of them not 4 little
yexed, at being now called upon to pay the in-
terest on that loan. A large portion whose pc
cuniary circumstances preclude them from The,
privilege OF instruction that institution, feel
that while they forced TO send their children
TO schools IN buildings In way fitted for such
purposes, 1T is hard TO be taxed for the benefit
of their more wealthy neighbors. and for de-
norninasionsl institution with which they have
little sympathy Such feeling may not be COM
mendable, but it is certainly natural, and we are
sorry 10 believe that it has been at all
checked by the course of some IN the interests

We believe there is an unnecessary feeling OF
luminosity on both sldes, between the friends of
the Seminary and the Public schools. While
all are allowed to have their preferences tor
