some measire, for the. establishment of a
State” University. The interests of the
tate demand such an institution, and up,
3 some plan is matured and the project
inaugurated by the next Legislature, that
body will fail in the performance of a sacred
duty. In Article IX of the Constitution,
‘the State has taken upon itself solemn obligations to provide for the education uf those
within ite territory, and in Section 4 of that
Article, the State is bound to make sach
disposition of the lands which have been or
may ‘be granted by Congress for the adVaticewierit of educational interests, and it is
made the duty of the Legisluture ‘‘to provide
effectual means for the improvement and
permanent security of the funds of said
University.” Congress granted the State
forty-eight thousand and eighty acres of
land for the use of 4 seminary of learning
in 1868. A part of this tand has been sold
under the provisions of a law passed in 3858,
and a large amount of interes¢ has accumulated, to which the seminary fund is enti»
tled. There are no conditions attached to
this grant of Congress beyond the require~
ment that it should. be devoted to the support of aseminary of learning. But, there
is another grant which will be lost if the
next Legislature fail to comply with the
conditions.In 1862 Congress granted public land to
each State, equal to 30,000 acres for each
Senator and Representative, to aid in the
establishment of colleges of agriculture and
‘nia ‘is entitled to ene hundred and fifty thous
send acres of land. The conditions to be
complied with, in order to secure this grant
are, that the capital of the fund shall remain for ever undiminished, that any inchase or erection of buildings, that an annual report of progress shall be made to the
Secretary of the Interior, and that any State
shall provide at least one college before the
expiration of five years from the date of the
gtant. By the last condition it will be seen
that unless the next Legislature provide
for the establishment of such a college,
the grant will be forfeited.
The funds available for the purpose of es
tablishing a State University and Agricultural College, should bej combined, and all
the ends met in one institution. These
funds should not be diverted from their legitimate purpose to the benefit of any private school as has been asked, but should be
under the control of the State, for the benéfit of all, every creed. It may not be expedient at present to establish such a school
asthe University of Virginia, but a seminary where childrea, who have finished
the course of study offered in the Public
Schools, may have a place where they
can pursue their studies. The object of
such an institution should be, to make practical business men and good citizens, qualified for the dutios of every day life, rather
than to translate dead languages or calculate the period of comets. We hope that
educational matters will not be so niuch
neglected by the next Legislature as preceding ones, and that soine well devised
plan ‘will be adopted for carrying out the
‘obligations of the State in reference to a
State University.

adveftising columas are filled with. announcements of steamers loading for New
Yerk and othér Northern cities. . The cargo of one bound to the former city, consisted of 1,340 bales of cotton six bales of domestics and fifty-nine sacks of ground nuts.
The whole cargo is valued at $260,000—
‘The people of that city who have been shut
out from the world for’so long’a time, rejoice greatly at the revival of trade. The
wharves were crowded with people who
assembled to see three elegant steamers
start for New York in one day. The Re
publican says: “It was altogether one of
the most beautiful marine spectacles that
we have'yet witnessed on our river. From
the mastheads of each steamer floated their
gay signal flags, while the proud folds of
the Old Flag waved its protecting shadows
in the clear sunlight high over the heads of
the excited throngs of people that swarmed
on the decks, waving handkerchiefs, throwing kisses and shaking hands to friends on
shore asthe steamers rapidly receded from
view in the bend of theriver. Such a sight
was refreshing to our eyes, because we were
torcibly reminded that peace had really once
more. dawned upon our laud, and there
steamers were the swift and sure messengere that flit from port to port, cleaving the
broad waters’of the blue Atlantic with the
prows of peaceful commerce, adding strong
links to that chain of fraternity and prosperity which is slowly but firmly re-uniting
our country in indissoluble bonds of friendship and good will. “So mote it be,” and
we. welcome these steamers as the best harbingers of an enduring peace, whose fabric
is built upon the rock of freedom, and should
be cenented by “Justice, Wisdom and
Moderation.”

THE WEATHER.—After more than ten
days of stormy w ' ther, the sun arose yesterday morning all the brighter for having
been so long hid behind the clouds. All
hailed his appearance with joy, holding
with The Preacher, that ‘Light is sweet,and
& pleasant thing it is for the eye to behold
the sun.” The morning air was cold and
bracing but. the sky soon became overcast. The storms have been so heavy
forten days that all the waste gates along
the ditches and in the reservoirs had to be
opéned in order to prevent accident.—
When the water can be turned on miners
will receive the full benefit of the great
abundance of rain which has fullen.
Hieh Waren.—Ou last Wednesday
night Deer Creek had reached its highest
peint, and a greater volume of water was
running than at any time during last Winter. The tailings have been cleaned out to
the depth of from four te five feet. Yesterday mormng the water had fallen several
feet, and its volume continued to diminish
during the day. Green Horn -creek, near
Red Dog, was almost impassable on Wednesday night. Squirrel creek, in Penn Valley, which is entirely dry in summer, reached such a height that the Marysville stages
bound up and down, were compelled to step
all night for the waters to subside. The
low country around Marysville must be
overflowed for a considerable distance.
CAPITAL AND MINex.—The renewed attention to our mines, on the part of movey ed
men, still continues, It has been years
since the same degree of interest was exhibs
ited by them. A better understanding, says
the Bee, appears to prevail between labor
jand capital, and, if the miners will only
adhere to their resolution ot calling a convention, the obstacles to their’ prosperity
will be removed. A comparatively new
feature in connection with this, is the plan
adopted by companies of English capitalists
of purchasing ured in the rough, wherever
they may have been brought to the suface,
and shipping them io bulk to Swansea,
where they are melted and assayed.

County Corrt.—The People vs Jaiton,
Fined $100, and in default of payment sent
to the county jail for fifty days.
Summir Crry—We have news from
Summit City to Wednesday morning, the
snow was then about two feet and a half
deep, Ithad been deeper, but during this
week considerable rain had fallen, welting
the snow: At Bowman's on Wednesday it
mill has not commenced runnibg yet, but
the owners were expecting to start as soon
as a lot of quicksilver, which théy have at
Webber's, could be gotten in te the mines.
