The must give until they feel it in their business. A few thousand loose dollars and empty resolutions passed annually in assoeia-tions and conventions will never build a University. The undertaking must have hundreds of thousands of dollars which would otherwise be useful for capital and the enlargement ol business, and also it must have the united patron-age and prayers of the denomination. This, and nothing short of it will build a University that will be a blessing to the denomination, to the State, and to unborn generations To secure this end, we should have the manhood, and especially the Christianity to rise above all personal, party or seetioeal strife, and act for ihe good of the denomina-tion and posterity. We live in a great State in a creative age ; by working wisely and prudently together, we can lay the foundation of a University that will be an honor to us when we are in our graves,and for which our posterity will rise up and call us blessed. We have something of a beginningat Waco and I should regret to see the enter-prise abandoned, now, tor as 1 have said, all ray feelings and predictions are in favor of Waco, and therefore I do hope she will yet do what she ought for the University. But if Waeo will not then, perhaps, Dallas, Shrman or Paris will give the denomination sixty acres of land for a site for the Univer-sity; and for buildings, apparatus and library $100,000. Or. perhaps, a better plan would be for the denomination to appoint an agent to buy, while lands are cheap, a league of land, lying on one of the great lines of railway now traversing the State; lay off a town, sell lots and thus create means for on-dowment, buildings, library and appa-rat us.

Washington, Nov. 12.—The Attorney-General decides that States have no right to sell arms issued to militia by the United States. Spinner, in his report, com-plains of the irregulation in the %'Uit.h of currency issued by mu-nicipolitics and corporations, and urges that a law stringent enough to prohibit such issues should be enacted, tie also complains of the failure of many National banks to pay their duty as re-quired by law, which results in a heavy loss to the Treasury. lie thinks the banks should be made to bear the loss of the theft of their unsigned notes. Constantinople, Nov. 12.—It is reported that orders have been issued by tlie Porte to conceit-trate Turkish troops near the Servian and Montenegrin frori-tiers; and that the Governors of Jamtia and Princend, in Albania, | have been ordered to organize | the Mahomitan inhabitants oi the I province. I Our sister State—gallant, and heroic Texas— has achieved a complete victory. The Demo-cratic, or rather the Conservative party, has carried (he election there. The opposition during the campaign was nowhere. It j could not be otherwise when i Radicalism grappled with the de-jseendants ot the heroes of the j Alamo and Goliad. Their ances- | tors fought the battle of Leonidas. | But their sons in in© late Strug-jgle have stood together—like the j blade and the handle—and they | certainly deserve great credit for j their patriotism and attalcliment to principle. We see the red dawn of the day in Louisiana. We have faith and hope in the future, and cannot but send our hearts it; these brief lines to embrace our noble and gallant friends in the Lone Star State. Although notin the flesh, j we have been with them in spirit. Bro. Buckner: 1 am told that some misunderstanding is likely to grow out of a letter of mine published in the Herald of October 1st upon which brother Link made somo comments for which I am grateful to him. My object iu writing the letter was : 1st. To correct a mistake that was do-ing the University a serious injury m tlte southern part ol the State ; namely, that neither my brother nor inyselt would he connected directly with the teaching corps of the University this scholastic year. Our arrrangement is \ for one of us to be in the University al the time. 2d. I wanted to ask the brethren throughout the State to send me by hand, mail or express, any min erals or fossils that they might find ; that they would be valuable to me in teaching Theology and Mineralogy. These were tile principal points 1 had in view in writing the letter. I was led to make some additional remarks on the present and future prospects of the University from a sad and painful conviction that Waco had not done, antll (eared, never would do her duty to the University. To show Unit my convitions are not imaginary, let facts be submitted to the denomination. In tile spring of 1801, to induce us to come to Waeo and inaugurate the University; tlie Board of i rustees promised- us buildings, apparatus and libraiy, and an endowment ol $20,000 commencing to bear interest the 1st day of JSeptem-ber 1801, at-10 per cent, per annum; so that the Faculty would realize $2,- 000 annually front the endowment. riu, a ---- - /............. ........ j Me GSS> Wa<?o.

By tlie indomitable energy of brother J. IV. Speight, the president of the Board of Trustees, the wing buildings were gotten in condition to be occupied tile first Monday in September 1801 ; but not a single room has ever been completed, and these buildings are now ill a most wretched, dilapidated, comfortless condition. Within tlie last two or three years a boarding house lor young ladies has been built, which i insufficient and also in an uniiinished condition. When we came here in J$81. the University grounds consisted or seven and a half acres ol land, which is not more than one .seventh of what it Ought to have been. But instead ot adding to the area ot the campus, lots have been sold off from time to time to satisfy claims lor buildings, apparatus anil library, until now the grounds are not inor man two acres oi land \ over this hangs a judgment obtained last-1 January lor about $3,000, to satisty a mechanics lie u on tlie whole of the I University property which if not paid, | will be executed on the 3d day of next i Cotton. month. 1 suppose there can be no t i—i.. . _, doubt that this amount will be. paid, ‘t ” ' ’ yet it serves lor a painlul illustration — * to show how indilfefent.the citizens oft Waeo are to the University, which inis been more than any one thing else the source, directly or .indirectly, of the growth and prosperity of the place, bomethtr.g lias been done towards an iiidowmenr, but bow much has been raised or wliatoondilioii.it is in, 1 am not informs i. 1 do know however, j that it is little in comparison with what j it ought to be. Perhaps I do wrong in writing this. U so, no one will regret it. inure than l shall. 1 have no motives in.view hut t urge upon the denomi-nation and Waco, the absolute necessi-ties of the University. It is sufiering for the want of buildings, apparatus, library and endowment. 1. am im-pressed that the main cause of oar d f-licpl. tje* is, our brethren abtoad think that jiecaifse we have a large palrouage that, therefore, we have everything | that is necessary to make a college a success; than which there never was a more fatal mistake affecting the per-manenoy ot a college. Funds arising • Louis, without change of ears, rom tuition will never pay cnougl to L, ^ ,,,Wenger so- desires, keep up a laculty ol ability. Next to ' endowment, a college needs ample buildings, well finished.and.completely fu-ni tied, then a college needs appara-cus. and library. These elements of success secured, a college wants pat-rouage and the prayers of its friends. We matriculated 316 pupils last scho-lastio year. We have now matneula-ted for the present session over 200, ! which is 40 or 50 more than we had at | this time dust year. . Our patronage has fallen off in Waco, but has greatly in-creased from abroad, it Waeo would give us the buildings and tlie denomi-nation the endowment we need, we would now have fine hundred pupils in the University. I believe Wuco lias more advantages lor the seat of a great University than' any other place in Texas. Alt my feeling# and convic- ’tions are in favor of Waco. But, l do not believe it is right for the denomi-nation to thrust tin; University on her. She is willing to pay for railways, sus-pension bridges, • hanks and splendid stores. Why should she not he willing to pay lor the University? That is a greater source ol’-revenue to hur than any one of these interests. I must re-peat what I said in the Herald. “Broth-er Law’s idea is a good one, and lie denomination should act on it, that il a place gets the location of the Univer-sit. y, it ought to pay for it.” Central anil Northern Texas have many most beam if ill and suitable places for the location of the Univer-ilv.

The must give until they feel it in their business. A few thousand loose dollars and empty resolutions passed annually in assoeia-tions and conventions will never build a University. The undertaking must have hundreds of thousands of dollars which would otherwise be useful for capital and the enlargement ol business, and also it must have the united patron-age and prayers of the denomination. This, and nothing short of it will build a University that will be a blessing to the denomination, to the State, and to unborn generations To secure this end, we should have the manhood, and especially the Christianity to rise above all personal, party or seetioeal strife, and act for ihe good of the denomina-tion and posterity. We live in a great State in a creative age ; by working wisely and prudently together, we can lay the foundation of a University that will be an honor to us when we are in our graves,and for which our posterity will rise up and call us blessed. We have something of a beginningat Waco and I should regret to see the enter-prise abandoned, now, tor as 1 have said, all ray feelings and predictions are in favor of Waco, and therefore I do hope she will yet do what she ought for the University. But if Waeo will not then, perhaps, Dallas, Shrman or Paris will give the denomination sixty acres of land for a site for the Univer-sity; and for buildings, apparatus and library $100,000. Or. perhaps, a better plan would be for the denomination to appoint an agent to buy, while lands are cheap, a league of land, lying on one of the great lines of railway now traversing the State; lay off a town, sell lots and thus create means for on-dowment, buildings, library and appa-rat us.

Washington, Nov. 12.—The Attorney-General decides that States have no right to sell arms issued to militia by the United States. Spinner, in his report, com-plains of the irregulation in the %'Uit.h of currency issued by mu-nicipolitics and corporations, and urges that a law stringent enough to prohibit such issues should be enacted, tie also complains of the failure of many National banks to pay their duty as re-quired by law, which results in a heavy loss to the Treasury. lie thinks the banks should be made to bear the loss of the theft of their unsigned notes. Constantinople, Nov. 12.—It is reported that orders have been issued by tlie Porte to conceit-trate Turkish troops near the Servian and Montenegrin frori-tiers; and that the Governors of Jamtia and Princend, in Albania, | have been ordered to organize | the Mahomitan inhabitants oi the I province. I Our sister State—gallant, and heroic Texas— has achieved a complete victory. The Demo-cratic, or rather the Conservative party, has carried (he election there. The opposition during the campaign was nowhere. It j could not be otherwise when i Radicalism grappled with the de-jseendants ot the heroes of the j Alamo and Goliad. Their ances- | tors fought the battle of Leonidas. | But their sons in in© late Strug-jgle have stood together—like the j blade and the handle—and they | certainly deserve great credit for j their patriotism and attalcliment to principle. We see the red dawn of the day in Louisiana. We have faith and hope in the future, and cannot but send our hearts it; these brief lines to embrace our noble and gallant friends in the Lone Star State. Although notin the flesh, j we have been with them in spirit. Bro. Buckner: 1 am told that some misunderstanding is likely to grow out of a letter of mine published in the Herald of October 1st upon which brother Link made somo comments for which I am grateful to him. My object iu writing the letter was : 1st. To correct a mistake that was do-ing the University a serious injury m tlte southern part ol the State ; namely, that neither my brother nor inyselt would he connected directly with the teaching corps of the University this scholastic year. Our arrrangement is \ for one of us to be in the University al the time. 2d. I wanted to ask the brethren throughout the State to send me by hand, mail or express, any min erals or fossils that they might find ; that they would be valuable to me in teaching Theology and Mineralogy. These were tile principal points 1 had in view in writing the letter. I was led to make some additional remarks on the present and future prospects of the University from a sad and painful conviction that Waco had not done, antll (eared, never would do her duty to the University. To show Unit my convitions are not imaginary, let facts be submitted to the denomination. In tile spring of 1801, to induce us to come to Waeo and inaugurate the University; tlie Board of i rustees promised- us buildings, apparatus and libraiy, and an endowment ol $20,000 commencing to bear interest the 1st day of JSeptem-ber 1801, at-10 per cent, per annum; so that the Faculty would realize $2,- 000 annually front the endowment. riu, a ---- - /............. ........ j Me GSS> Wa |
