Rev. II, j. Graves.

1t will DO rccollected that the Legislature of this
State at its late session, passed resolution author
iznr the Governor to demand the Rev. r. j. Graves
of the government at Richmond, in order that the
charges against him may be investigated here. The
Governor accordingly appointed A. G.. Cowles, ESQ.,,
of Yadkin, to proceed to Richmond and make the
demand; and Mr.. Cowlcs having done so, returned
on Sunday evening with Mr.. Graves.
We learn that in the absence of the President,
the demand was made upon Mr.. Seldom, the Secre-
tary of War, who treated Mr. Cowles with due
courtesy, and promptly complied with the demand
Mr.. Graves is now in this City. We entertain no
doubt that Gov Vance will do his whole duty in the
matter If Mr.. Graves is guilty of the crime of
treason, let him be punished; if innocent let him
60 free.
But every man is presumed to be innocent until
proved guilty, yet Mr. Graves has been treated as
felon by Gen. Winder He used the grosscst and
most insulting language towards Mr.. Graves, min
lister of the Gospel and unarmed prisoner in his
hands and it is said he alluded also in the most in
sulting terms to the people of North Carolina, pro-
nouncing them ga id nest Of traitors" Does
this infamous tyrant act and speak for President
Davis? Surely. surely not. Then let him be
hurled from the place which he disgraces by his
vulgarity and tyranny.

This is rather liberal estimate both as to guam
;ty and quality. There are very many respectable
,,milies now-a-d days who do not have flour on their

,se sugar at ALL And such economy is not merely
lvisabe, it is in the highest degree praiseworthy.

Salnple of reduction in every expense dress, ia

:, is there any person at Chapel Hill willing to

There is no community in the State which mas
suffered more by the war than the community gen
rally at Chapel Hill. large majority Of the fami-
lies in the place, have long been, either Directly OF
indirectly obliged the University for their sup
oort. When the number of students has been sud
ienly brought down from 100 LU 40, it may easily
be imagined there must be other and corresponding
reductions

rates of living little more than $500 year, and
from the senior professor down to the shoe blacks,
it is day of small things. The great influx Of
refugees from the eastern part OF the State has
rather increased the straitness of matters. They
have raised the prices of almost every edible in the
country, and the small farmers in the immediate

most in the race of extortion, which is doing as
much as our enemies to ruin the whole land The
rich man with his cotton mills and his tanneries is
followed hard after by the poor man with his string
Of chickens and his basket of eggs 1t is therefore,
too much to expect that anybody, for the s.ke of
pure patriotism and love for the University, should
open boarding house and not mean to make any
thing by it. But ought not any family that nude
its ocn board by taking boarders be satisfied at the
close of the year. even though there were no sur
plus cash deposit?
The question is an open one. We all have right
TO discuss it, for the State University is common
property, and we have common and just pride
in her past course Of prosperity and usefulness. so
we feel common anxiety for her welfare and safety
nov that she is, as it were, in the breakers.
DR.. Hooper, in his admirable address at Chapel
Hill, in 1859, says, that in his day, though 60 years
SINCE bacon and collards, and corn bread were the
staple fare. and "white head for supper was
hailed with acclamation by the boys, as an extra
luxury Plain fare and fine scholars have ever been
close companions, from the days of Daniel and his
fellows down to DR.. Hooper, and that is considera
ton which should sweeten evesy poor scholars dry
crust. and is we'll worth bordering by all who love
our institutions Of learning.

A Few Plain Thoughts About Our University

A rev Haln Thoughts About Our University.
The exercises Of this venerable Institution, it is
understood, will be continued as long as there are
dozen boys to keep it gong Whether the dozen
boys can be found for that purpose at the present
rates Of board in Chapel Hill, is doubtful
question.
That our colleges and schools ought to be kept
up, as far as possible during the war; no one will
deny; our State University especially should be
supported and it should be the Just pride of North.
Caronans that her halls should not be closed either
for want of funds of students. Very many of the
most gifted and most accomplished young men of
our country have already fallen in her defence
These losses must be repaired, these broken ranks
filled up, and every for the thorough educa-
tion OF the boys now at home should be cherished
The "seed corn' must be taken care of. But the
University will not be patronzed-boys will not be
sent there unless the expenses TO be incurred are
carefully regulated to suit the pressure of the times
No true friend Of the Institution will deny that
Those who stlll struggle to send their boys to col
lege not in general the classes who are proing
10y the war; and it cannot be expected by those who
have the management of the University affairs, that
men who live at home on corn-brcad and rye-cofFee
will send their sons to be educated in these times
where 5000 or $3.50 are charged for ore sessions
board alone
1t is high time that public attention was turned
to this matter Even with the tide of war beating
at our very gates, we need not quite lose all of
our wits or our sell possession let everything
go by the board. The Conscript Fathers at least,
may to it that nU the interests of the country
are not blended in one common ruin.
very false standard as to the table proper to be
Kept for college boys has long prevailed at Chapel
Hill. Young men whose fathers and mothers and
little sisters were living at home on plain fare
perhaps all the palmer for the noble endeavor to
give the oldest boy an education-have been for
many years supplied with chest and most extrava-
CANT table in North Carolina And they at last as
sumed it as their right that Their boarding tables
should be loaded with every variety Of fish, flesh,
and fowl, besides good red herring, in its season,
that the country could afford; so that every board
ing.house keeper who aspired to be popular, was
ruined If he succeeded-and ruined if he failed. As
long as -four could be had for IS, bacon for $40,
butter for 12A cents, and beef for cents, it might
not be very serious consideration as to how the
boarding houses managed to ruin themselves
though. a matter of good taste, and from garious
other sthetieol considerations, the prominence and
Importance thus given to high living and good eat
ing at a literary institution were always open to
criticism.

RUNoRs.-There does not seem to be proper
foundation for the rumor that the Yankees are again
