UNIVERSITY OF THE SOUTH
WHAT HAS BEEN DONE.

UNI EhSll Of NE DOUl Il
WHAT HAS BEEN DONE.
The Chattanooga Gazette says"We
have received a copy of a pamphlet
issued by Bishops Polk and Elliott,
containing a recapitulation of the his.
tory of this enterprise, and an appeal
to the South for aid. From their
pamphlet we make the following cx-
tract, showing what has been done in
the work
SO far every step has been securely
taken. The location has been most ju.
diciously chosen, as will be seen by con.
suIting the Address OF the Committee Of
the Board, with its accompanying maps
Nine thousand acres Of land have been
given us by the Sewanee Coal Company,
and by the citizens Of franklin county,
Tennessee. A charter Of Incorporation,
which will be found in an Appendix to
this Address. has been obtained from the
Legislature VI lcHncsscC' n 'pIiiN't'oo
has been appointed to draft a plan of the
inner life Of the University. We are
collecting the endowment, and the lar
ger that endowment becomes, the wider
will be the scope Of the University
And its return to the country would be
the richest dividends it could ever receive,
dividends that would giveil security, rep.
u%tation, glory among the nations. And
how easily it can be done. Here is q
population Of five millions Of people
scattered over this Southern country,
many Of them Astounding in wealth, many
Of them seeking for channels through
which they may dispense u~se(ul!y the
money which God has entrusted to their
care. A few Of these persons have al.
ready contributed more than one third OF
the sum stipulated as our starting point.
Sixty persons have given US, within a few
weeks, over $3.50, 600. Shall not this
be an encouragement TO Others to come
forward, every man according 10 his abil.
ity in the sight OF God, and speed this
ereat scheme to its consummation! We
have no doubt that every Southern man
will say, Amen.
And the principle upon which we have
set out Of never using the capital Of our
endowment, makes it very easy for every
man to do bis part. He may spread his
payments over any reasonable period
Secure the interest, and the principal
may be paid in instruments TO meet the
convenience Of the parties. In this way
very handsome things may be done for
the University. things which at first sight
might seem impossible to the donor

The following item from the Hunts

truth and good sentiment, and recon-
mends itself to the serious %consldera.
ton of old men, Let the older people
of Winchester remember that they
can far advance the interests and
worth of the town and county and the
uorld, by p%atronizing merit, And oh!
from the depths of our heart do wa beg
them to consider that merit Is the
lovelier when it lies in poor young men
struggling to become mel Of business
and ornaments to society. The lnde.
pendent says:
"A patronage of merit is one OF the
best evidences of a healthy and Wig
orous public sentiment. Indeed, 1t is
the only qualification that ought TO- be
considered in any department OF lIie'
Much more so ought this rule to be
practiced when it is to be applied to
young men who are just beginning
business. lftheir merit j~ustiIics it they
should be aided andlencouraged more
than those who have been in bushes
"A long while and have lain the loun-
dation ola comfortable support. They
ought to receive that encouragement
that would make them feel that they
are noticed and well thought Of by the
public, so that they may become in
terestcd in and identified with the
community.
We have been led to make these
remarks by noticing the number oil
young men that have lately common
ccd u~siness in Huntsville. Such
young men are the ones who push on
the wheel of progress and build up "A
place. Let them be encouraged"

THE WHEAT CROP OF 1859.

The papers arc INDUCING in specu-
lations respecting the yield Of the
wheat crop the present year. We
think it is utterly impossible to make
any estimate : hich can be relied up.
on as correct, from the fact that there
are no mea by which the actual
amount produced can be asccrtaincd.
All the figuring in the world is but
approximate when it relates to wheat,
no really accurate statistics being in
existence. We have, it is true, means
Of partial comparison. The N. Y.
Express says: .
The production Of wheat in several
States for lS57-'5S may be stated thus {:
1857. 10000, 600 bushels,
1858, 1873, 500, 900
The crop OF 1859 is variously eslima.
ted, but it is safe 10 place it at 900 ,000,.
900 bushels.
Now as. to the amount we shall have for
export. That may be asccrlainod by
calculating that there are 80, 900 600 Of
people in the United States, and, allow.
ing five bushels per head, we have a
home consumption amounting to 1907
900 900, leaving so, 900, 900 surplus for
export.
This is a substantial addition to the
wealth of the nation. The aggregate
value of this years crop is estimated al
one Thousand millions Of dollars!
SO abundant has been the wheat crop
this season in localities where it had in
other years been seriously injured by the
w%eevil, &C., that a greater breadth than
ever will be sown this fall. The disap,
pearance Of the weevil, we are inclined to
think, is the result Of the frosts in June;
so what was lost by the frost has been
more than made up by the destruction Of
the weeviI and nudge. Another season
Will settle the question as to whether the
frost has been awarded too much credit
in this respect.
1t will require some little time to pre-.
pare the new wheat for milling purposes.
New wheat is always damp, and requires
time TO dry before it will make good flour;
but there is nodoubt that the new crop
will be hurried forward as early as pos.
sible, and good prices will be paid for
the first recel PTS Of a prime article.
