Local Gossip, Steep Roads, and Too Much Clearing

If we make any great mistakes in this colony it
will not be for want Of kindly hints and warnings
from correspondents in all parts of the country who
take lively interest in our success. One of these
writes from Philadelphia: 81 trust that you will
give ample space to purely local matters not in the
frivolous personal manner that not few of our coun-
try editors strive to interest their readers degenera
ting into gossip of private persons and fulsome
putting of business men, but in the deneaton of the
heroic battle of the successful colonsts to bring the

rhododendrons and laures preserve their summer
color, but the only green overhead is that of pines

oak boughs, while the ground beneath is carpeted
with their fallen comrades.
But it only needs to brush from under-foot the
covering of dead leaves to find beneath them the

green ferns spring up beside the water coursesrand

kept their color through the frosts. Most graceful
of them all is the climbing fern, which grows in
some spots luxuranty, often closely entwined around
the dead stalks of last summers flowers. Soggy

Well, we do hope, for ourselves, that it will be

is slenderly endowed, and requires larger number
of professors most of the few there now doing double
work. There is also want of permanent buildings
tor halls, lecture-rooms, museum, &c. We feel
that it can only be for want of that celebrity which
is SO justly deserved, that in this wealthy country
great center of education can be delayed in develop
ment for lack of funds The University of the South
was first suggested and plan of it outlined by the
late Bishop of Louisiana in pamphlet addressed to
the Bishop of the Episcopal Church in the South.
This pamphlet was warmly received. The Bishop
issued an address on the subject, and Board was
formed, which met for the first time on Lookout
Mountain, Tennessee, on July 4th, 1857, their OBJ
ject being to take steps to found university of the
highest order. So well was the scheme received
that in short time the projected university was in
possession of an estate of ten thousand acres and
an endowment fund Of $500, 900. On October 10TH
1860, the foundation stone was laid in the presence
of nearly six thousand people, and there seemed
every promise of brilliant and useful future. Here
the curtain falls for while The war came and
passed over Sewanee and when peace was made
the university found itself spoiled of everything
the land. In 1868, those of the founders who had
survived the war, besrred themselves, and, aided by
Bishop Quintard, raised enough money to warrant
them in engaging staff of professors and beginning
instructions. The good work has since gone on
surely, and about eleven hundred young men have
been educated, the yearly average being now over
two hundred.
Although the institution belongs to the Episcopal
Church. it's advantages and honors are equally open
to pupils of every faith Christians of all denomn-
atoms are welcome, and have already received their
education there. Special attention is paid to phys
ical science as the most potent weapon that be
used in defence of Christianity Having faith in the
perfect harmony between the spiritual and physical
evidences of God, the professors at Sewanee hold
that the greater human knowledge becomes the more
firmly will Christian truth stand triumphant.
Such is brief account of the university nearest
Rugby-a university destined perchance, to exercise,
by its training, some influence on the young Rug
beians of the future However this may be, we
trust that this center of intellectual life and activity
in the South may go on and prosper, and soon OBJ
