By a resolution of the Legislature in 1792 the in corporated academies had the right ot purchas ing confiscated property io the amount of 1,000/. In Savannah nud Augusta, private academies were establi. lien by clergymen iuid others, and in 1791, the first’classical school out of those cities, was begun by Rev. Mr. Springs, five miles north of Washington, where’tiie late Jesse Mercer learned the rudi ments of the ancient languages. In 1774 or ’5, the Rev. Moses Waddel, D. D., opened a classical institution in Columbia county, called ‘Carmel Academy,’ and one of iiis former pupils, the distinguished Wm. H. Crawford, was temporarily Ins assistant. It was at ‘Carmel Academy,’ under the. tuition of Dr. Waddel, that John C. Calhour. receiv ed a part of his instruction. The means of education slowly increased. A new country, with a sparse population, just recovering from the stunning effects of war, was not congenial to the interests of literature, so that by ISO 1, academies had been incorporated only in Sa vannah, Augusta, Snnbury, Louisville, jiud in Burke and Wilkes counties. We cannot forbear extracting from the Re port ofthe Committee, adopted by the Legisla ture, Dec. 1831, the following paragraph il lustrative ol the sound and elevated views of that body. “ The Committee,” says the report. lu 1802 it began its academical operations. A gentleman of ‘.bis city was travelling north by the regular stage through Alabama and Georgia. At a town in Georgia the coach stopped, for the purpose of giving the passen gers a chance to swallow a hasty dinner. On leaving the table and lighting his cigar pre paratory to resuming his place in the coach, our friend found that a new passenger, belong ing to the town, had taken the seat lie had oc cupied ever since he started. The inside ot the coach was thus completely filled. A drizzling rain had just set in, which promised to increase in due time, to a very respectable shower. Sundry upsets of the stage, at no time very agreeable, and iht laiigue ot travel without sleep, had considerably encroached upon the good nature of our worthy traveller, and lie did not feci at all inclined to surren der what he thought to be his right.
