The Removal oi' Mercer
INSTITUTE.
We had thought ami hoped that
this vexed question had received its
quietus, hut it seems from the com
munication of “Ventilator,” which
wo publish in this issue, that it has
again been opened, whether wisely
or not, remains to be determined.
In our opinion, good faith requires
that the College should remain
whore it was originally founded and
now is, unless some very strong
and urgent public reason can be
given for its removal. The liberal
donations made by Messrs. Mercer,
Stocks, Janes and others, alluded
toby “Ventilator,” were made with
the express understanding that the
College would be permanently es
tablished at its present location,
and the fact of a town being laid
out and lots sold around the Col
lege buildings, was a pledgo to the
purchasers that a removal at some
future day was not contemplated
by those whose wishes should bo
respected although they may have
long since been gathered to their
fathers. We doubt not but that
our Courts will hold, that the re
maining of the College whore it
now is, is a part of the considera
tion of the many donations made to
it, as woll as for the purchase mo
ney of the lots sold by the Trus
tees in the town of Tenfield. If it
be true, as wo are informed, that
the present dissatisfaction exists
only on the part of two or three
members of the Faculty, and a few
of the Alumni, who are influenced
by them, we would respectfully sug
gest to the dissatisfied Professors,
that if they do not like to remain
in Penfield, or Greene county, that
no obstacles will be thrown in the
way of their removal to some other
place more suited to their tastes.—
Let us have peace, gentlemen, and
dwell together in Christian unity.
The removal of the College will not
only result in loss to the owners of
real estate in and around Penfield,
but will cause law suits and person
al bickerings very unbecoming to
good Baptist brothers .In conclusion
we will say, that although we regret the spirit of
the article, we think “Ventii ator’s” objections
to removing’ the College to the city of Atlanta
well taken and deserving serious consideration-
THE PRESS EXOURSION AND
GEORGIA’S RESOURCES.
Whil%mnuch has been said and
written relative to the late Excur
sion of tlie Ocuigift Press, and
some have condemned it as a polit
ical movement on the part of Col.
Ilulbert, it is perfectly clear to our
mind, that it has exerted a great
and valuable influence in promoting
the best interests of our State, and
its beneficent results will be seen,
felt, and acknowledged by all. Out
of the large number of sixty Geor
gia editors who went on this excur
sion, there were but few, if any of
them, who possessed a correct
knowledge of the vast mines of
wealth which are to bo faund in
North Georgia, and which only re
quire the capital and energy to de
velopc them, to render the State the
wealthiest, as well as the most de
sirable section of the I riion.
Whether Col. Ilulbert had any pri
vate ends to gain in getting up the
Excursion, we will not assert or de
ny, neither do wo care, so long as
we can see the interests of our
whole people advanced by the flis
semination among them
knowledge of their oyto resources.
Not more than of, years
since our wild al tire ex
aggerated aaeotrats of tho fabulous
-wealth CVifornia” B g o '* l mine3 >
little,dimming that here at our own
-doors.were mines o? wealth which
surpass in richness evon the golden
- and valleys of the Paci
fic. *» Yet it is true. Os Iron, which
more valuable to the world than
gold, Georgia possesses vast and|
inexhaustible mines’ The Iron ore
<*f our State, we learn from an au
thentic source, is as rich, if not
richer than the far-famed mines of
Pennsylvania, while it is far more
accessible. The largest deposits of
ore are but a stones throw from
Railroad transportation. Besides
Iron, marble of tho finest quality,
quarries of slate, grind-stones,
whet-stones, manganese, lime and
coal exist in inexhaustible quanti
ties. Thesp valuable mineral lands,
or a iii.rgc portion of them, are now
on the market and can be purchas
ed for a mere song. They must and
will be developed it an early day,
hut who is to do it ? Will Geor
gians, or other Southerners avail
themselves of these valuable re
sources, which should by right b?
reaped by them, or shall we stand
by with folded arras, and yield this
large wealth to Yankee enterprise ?
We think that the wisdom of work
lug small farms and enriching, in
stead of impoverishing our lands,
has been clearly demonstrated in
the pa-d four or five years. Our
| planters are generally free from
debt; cotton is selling for high and
remunerative prices, and every com
ing j'ear must necessarily add to
their wealth. What is to he done
with this surplus wealth which will
soon bo counted by millions ? Is it
all to be appropriated to tho impor
tation of Chinamen, in order to
enable our planters to again adopt
the large plantation system, and in
crease the cotton crop to five or six
millions of bales; or will our plan
ting friends learn wisdom from the
past; keep the crop at or below
three millions of bales, while their
surplus wealth is invested in devel
oping our Iron and Coal mines, and
in cotton factories to work up the
product of our cotton fields into
yarns or coarse fabrics, both for
home use and for export. Already
has the tide of emigration set in to
our State; and our Agricultural
Fair, which is to come off in No
vember next, at the city of Macon,
will give an impulse to it which will
soon astonish the mefst sanguine
and ardent advocates of immigra
tion. Wo will not always remain
under the heel of Radical despo
tism ; a better fate is in store for
us. Then, Georgians, let us be up
and doing ; let each man put his
shoulder to tho wheel, and remem
bering Lot’s wife, look not behind
us but forward. Let us firsj try
and see how far we can help our
selves before wo cry, Lord help us.
This course once firmly adopted
and rigidly adhered to, and Boon all
our troubles and our losses will bo
numbered with the things that were.

To the Friends of Mercer
UNIVERSITY.
As an humble descendant of one of
the founders of Mercer University, I
write. Impelled by a descent respect
to the venerable Thomas Stocks, yet
living, and to the sacred memory of the
pious dead, Mercer, Sanders, Marshall,
Arstrong, Davis, Johnson, Conner, Kil
patrick, Jack Lumpkin, Mallory, Thprn
ton, Dawson, Janes and others, I write.
I feel happy in being able to present the
language of that worthy and indefati
gable father in Israel; who, for seven
years, presided over the Institution with
uncommon ability and success. The
following extracts are from Mr. San
ders’ valedictory address, delivered be
fore the Trustees, Faculty, Students,
and friends of Mercer University, 12th
December, 1839 :
“The origin, the design and the pro
gress of our Institution, may be proper
subjects of reflection on this occasion.
At a meeting of the Baptist Conven
tion of the State in 1829, it was r.'port
ed that a brothor Josiah Penfield, of!
Savannah, having died, had left a be
quest of $2,500 to aid in the education
us poor jnunp molt preparing for the
Ministry, and to be under the direction
of that body, upon condition of their
raising an equivalent sum for the same
object, the interest only of which should
be used. The equivalent was at once
subscribed by the brethren and friends
present, although it was not until t’ae
beginning of the year 1533, that the
legacy was paid over to the Convention,
and the equivalent made collectable. It
was thought expedient by the Conven
tion in 1831, to establish a School,
Theological and Literary, at as early a
period as practicable in some convenient
and central part of tho State. To ef
fect this without delay, the Executive
Committee of the Convention was di
rected to procure subscriptions, to re
ceive propositions and to report at- their
annual meeting.
“At the meeting of the Convention
in 1832, a subscription of §1,500 was
reported, and the respective advantages
of a variety of locations, that had been
examined. * The one we now oceupy
(Penfield) was selected, the purchase
ordered to be made, and the School to
be gotten into operation, if practicable,
by the beginning of anew year.
“Tho Convention, with whom it was
a maxim ‘not to go in debt,’ speedily
made the best arrangements the means
in hand would admit. These arrange
ments consisted of two double log cab
ins. with a garret to each, for dwelling,
for dining and for study, for both teach
ers and students. With these limited
accommodations, and with one assistant,
I opened the Institution In Jan’ry, 1833,
with 39 students, having 36 of them to
board in my own family. Among these
\ \"cre seven young men preparing for the
Ministry. I shall ever remember with
lively .“motions of pleasure, tho patience
and cheerfulness with which the stu
dents of th's year the priva
tions and trial.' to which they were sub
jected by thbir cramped circumstances.
They may be ti uiy said to have borne
hardships like good soldiers. M hilc
living as in a camp in their midst, and
burdened with the charge and responsi
bility of the Literary, .1 heological, la
boring and boarding deportments, I
found no little support in all my cares
and labor, from witnessing, that while
they lived upon the cheapest fare, had
no place for study but the common
school room, no place to retire for rest
but a garret, without fire in the coldest
weather, and labored diligently three
hours every day, no complaint was heard
but that tlie most entire cheerfulness
ran through all their words and actions.’ (
I would remark just here— there is
a man for you. Billington McCarter
Sanders had left a comfortable home on
one of the best farms in Columbia coun
ty, with a handsome income, and had
taken charge of this Institution, and
for the unceasing labor of himself and
Mrs. Sanders, received the sum of #SOO
per annum. Here was the right kind
of head and heart. And now the mem
ory of this great ami good man is to be
dubbed by tho later and lesser lights,
with enviable sombriquet, “old fo
gy,” The memory of such pious and
self-sacrificing men rises as a sweet sa
vor unto heaven. We will return to
his valedictory address.
“In a word, those favorable indica
tions for the success of the enterprise,
soon began to inspire its friends with
confidence, and to animate their efforts
for the extension of its advantages. An
amount was soon raised to erect anoth
er large wooden building, with eight
comfortable rooms for doinitorics, and
brick basement for Chapel and school
rooms
“The second year's operations were I
.commenced with increased accommoda
tions, with an additional teacher, and
eighty students, seventy of whom board
ed in Commons. During the second
and third years, the building of a larg- 1
er and comfortable dwelling; a counno-1
dious dining room, and two Society 1
Halls, abundantly increased both the |
comforts and conveniences of the Insti
tution.
“Thus did its interests advance from
year to year, by the multiplication of its
friends, and tue increase of their boun
ty, under the superintendence of a
Committee, whose watchword w'as, ‘owe
no man,’ until 1837, the fifth year of
its operations. Just at this period, a
project had been gotton up for a Bap
tist College to be located at Washington
in Wilkes county, was relinquished, af
ter nearly one hundred thousand dol
lars had been subscribed for its accom
plishment.
“An Agent was appointed to obtain,
if possible, a transfer of the stuns that
had been subscribed to the contemplated
College at Washington In the execu
tion of this labor, he was peculiarly suc
cessful and to the Convention of 1838,
he made a report of the transfer of be
tween sso,oooand S6O,(KM).
“Jesse Mercer, B. M. Sanders, Jabez
P. Marshall, James Armstrong, Jona
than Davis, Mai comb Johnson, Thomas
Stocks were the Executive Committee,
who had selected the site, and “during
tho year 1838, a town was laid out
around the Institution, and named Pen
field, after the donor of the first contri
bution which laid the foundation for its
first existence al Sever thousand dollars
worth of lots were at once sold, with a
condition prohibiting the admission on
them of gambling la mes and tippling
shops on pain of forfeiture of title.
“By the Convention of 1838, a Board
of Trustees were appointed and -hortly
after, met and organized and made the
necessary arrangements for the com
mencement of the operations ot the In
stitution in its elevated character, under
the title of Mercer University.
“Permit me here to recount some of
the principles upon which your Institu
tion was first organized, and on which
it has since been conducted by its found
ers.
“In the first place, it was a principle
with them to deliberate maturely on ev
ery subject ojhinvedigation , and to exam
ine veil tile ground about lu he, occupied
before Th“y took their position.
“Socondly, Your Institution has also
been (%://' upon the faith of tha t Divine
principle of truth, that except the Lord
build the house, they labor in vain that
build it. In all their efforts, its foun
ders hare luknowledged God and
sought His blessing in earnest prayer. —
llow often and how fervently have they
in the language of the pious Psalmist,
prayed, ‘ Establish thou the work of our
hand- upon us"yea the work of our
hands establish thou it.’ And tiro Lord
hath graciously heard their prayers,
and wonderfully granted their desires,
and exalted their Institution to an ele
vation of character and usefulness,
transcending in so short a time, the
most sanguine anticipations of its
warmest friends. To all future officers,
members and patronsjof the Institution,
it affords a lively encouragement to la
bor with diligence and to pray without
ceasing.
“It is a hcart-cheering subject of con
templation, that bnt one year out of
seven has passed away without more or
less religious revival among the students,
and that nearly one hundred of them
have been hopefully translated from the
Kingdom of Darknoss, to that of Light;
some of whom are already actively en
gaged in the labors of the Ministry.—
Who can tell the influence these may
have upon the destinies of the world V’
How changed the scene under the
new lights —ouly about one revival
among the students in the last thirteen
years.
“Another important principle with
the founders of your Institution was. to
go move for substance than for show, and
more for sense than sound. The result
has proved that 'honest is the best poli
cy,’ that however the world may labor
to deoeive, it is not willing to be deceiv
ed, and that its imitations in hollow
show are not the objects of its confi
dence and respect.”
Dr. Mallory in his memoirs of Jesse
Mereer, says:)
“Mr. Mercer favored the suggestion
ot the College at Washington. And it
was a rare occurrenoe indeed, that the
opinion and influence of Mr. Mereer
should be overruled in any matter in
which ho had taken a decided stand.”
Dr. Mallory remarks, “Mr. Mercer
acted the [art of a truly magnanimous
Christian. I must go with uiy breth
ren, was bis emphatic declaration, and
before the close of the year, licsnhscribcd
Five Thousand Dollars for the Collegi
ate Department at Penfield. and by his
last Will and Testament made it the
principal heir of his large estate. From
that time he turned towards tho Insti
tution in its reinoddled character, the
full tide of his good feelings and prince
ly munificences ; thus presenting an ex
ample worthy the consideration of all.
especially of such as are ready to falter
and draw back if in all things they can
| not hai-e theis own way."
In the foregoing extracts, you have.
in brief, from the pens of the
pious founders of Mercer University,
its establishment and early history.—
Mercer University, at Penfield, is tho
child and heir of such men as Mercer,
Sanders, Stocks, Marshall, Armstrong,
Davis, John3ton, Conner, Kilpatrick,,
Jack Lumpkin, Mallory, Thornton, Daw- ’
son, Walker, Battle, Janes and others, j
They spent a life of labor, toil and pray- I
er in founding and building it up. They |
gave it liberally ol their substance, and !
some of them more liberally than to any (
of their children according to the flesh, j
and departing this life, blessed and con
secrated it with their dying breath. They
I gave it a locai habitation and a name.
[ And who shall dare with sacriligious
hands to rob it of its sacred endowment
and sacred name ? Palsied be the ruth
less hand that would dure do such a
deed. Who, after reading attentively
| and honestly, the foregoing and -succinct
I account of the founding and establish
-1 munt of Mercer University at Penfield.
I could have the moral hardihood to
place their foul hands upon it, to vio
late the sacred wills and wishes of the
! great and good men who founded it ?
‘Circumstances,’ it is said, ‘alter cases.’
While Mercer University was under the
control of those who founded and en
dowed it—of those who gave it their
prayers and their money, it steadily
flourished. The town of Penfield was
steadily built up and was in a very flour
ing condition. A noble band of truly
pious, self-sacrificing, honest and public
spirited men did tho work. It is to be
left to a set who have never contributed
a dollar, but who are seeking its pap, to
rob it of its tacred endowment, now hal
lowed by the sweet memory of the de
parted dead. llow changed the circum
stances 1
The pious and public spirited San
ders left a flourishing term and comfor
table home, and a large income, lived
in log-cabins, superintended the Theo
logical, Literary and Manual labor de
partments, and with the assistance of
Mrs. Sanders, the boarding department
—heard several recitations every day.
and preached frequently twice every
Sabbath, and conducted the Sabbath
school—and all for the sum of SSOO
per annum. This was to found and
build up and establish Mercer Ini versi
fy at Penfield.
The present incumbent receives $2,-
500 per annum, is furnished with a large
commodious and comfortable mansion,
better kuowii as he eccentrically terms it,
the“ White House," an executive office.
He has land to cultivate, fuel to burn,
and by dignity of his position (I under
stand) has free fare on all the Railroads
in the State—hears an occasional reci
tation, preaches once semi-monthly in
the College Chapel, aud is otherwise a
gentleman of elegant leisure to travel
aud speculate at will. Here are the.
means and elegant leisure to pull down
and white house construct at points of
elegant eligibility !

perty of Mfltcer University at Penfield,

ts the solution of the removal difficulty.
Mercer University at Penfield has mo
ney. This is the point of irritation, —
There are very few positions in the
South having such privileges and emol- 1
uments annoxed to it, as the Prcsi-j
deney of Mercer University at Penfield. I
The great difficulty is, it is too retired ;
and appropriate for the quiet aequisi-1
tion of knowledge, with comparative ex
emption from the many temptations, j
which usually ensnare and ruin the
youth of the country. The founders of
Mercer University at Penfield, were I
plain, common sense, strong-minded. J
pious men, who had read and studied
the Lord’s prayer, which says, “Lead us
not into temptation,” and the Proverbs
of Solomon, which says, “Train up a
child in the way he. should go and when
he is old he will not depart from it.”—
They were men who knew thai'tiie <U(i=
et groves and sylvan ii ep
dom from temptations, and
the great thoroughfares of travel, were
more favbfable. to the moral, religious
and intellectual well-being and culture
of their sons, than contact with the
haunts of debauchees and vice in their
most alluring garb. They honestly
knew that the quiet groves and sylvan
retreats of Penfield, wore more promo
tive of good morals and intellectual cul
turedthan gambling hells, bawdy houses
and drinking saloons.
How different the teachings of modern
logical philosophy: "Raise up a child
in the way he should not go, and when
he is old, he will become disgusted with
it and abandon it.” Bring the young in
contact with gambling hells, bawdy
houses, drinking saloon-, sad all tbe
haunt- and punieua of vie and dissipa
tion. aud after tasting and becoming ful
ly conversant and familiar with them—
the logical progress and perfection of
human reason, and the new order of dis
cipline will regenerate and purity the
soul and rectify youthful training. This
is a great logically moral discovery.—
This is higherlawism for you.
After prayerful thought and prayer
ful investigation of all the surround
ings. Penfield was selected by such men
as Mereer, Sanders, Marshall, Stocks, |
Armstrong, Davis and Johnston, as the
suitable locality for Mercer University.
These and the other founders of Mer
cer University at Penfield, were men of
good sound sense, good sound morals,
good sound self-sacrificing religion.—
I hey selected their locality for its
home, endowed tboir University by their
prayers and the labor oftheir lives, and
dying, left it legacies, and consecrated
it with their dying blessings. What is
the difficulty? Were these good old
men old fogy barbarians —men of no
culture, and who did very well for the
simple, honest age in which they
lived? Shades of Mercer, Sanders anil
others! hide your diminutive heads,
and turn ghastly pale before these re
fulgent. DAZZLING, ERRATIC LIGHTS
t hat have loomed up so glaringly. Pen
field has not enough of the world in it’. J
It is too secluded, too quiet for these \
erratic, eccentric geniuses to splutter
in. These modern lights are unquiet
and restive.
And yet Mercer University, at Pen
field, has money and good fat offices,
and what must be done ? Must Mercer
j University, at Penfield be hoisted on
I trucks, and be converted into a porta-
I ble saw mill, to be located at will to j
-grind for the convenience of these erra
\ tic prodigies ? If they should happen
ito forsake it, all would be lost. They
! never contributed one dullar towards
•building it up, and if they were only to
! die or resign, all would be lost’ What
would Mercer University, at Penfield
and the world do ? And whither would
they transport it—to the ostensible
point Marietta ? Or, to the really ob
jective point Atlanta? or shall it be
away down in Maine ?
If Mercer University, at Penfield,
had no money, these erratic geniuses
would forsake it forsake it faster than
rats would a sinking ship. Shall mo
ney be the ‘end of the law for righte
ousness’ sake V Is nothing to be held
as sacred ? Shall the sacred temple
even be filled with money changers ?
I ask for information. And is it a fact
that the property of the Professors is to
be paid for, and only the property of
I Professors as is rumored ? This should
be comforting at least in certain quar
ters, and should produce at least a re
markable acquiescence.
u How long, O, Cataline! will you
abuse our patience, ? The question of
removal last fall was cousidered forever
at an end. It was hushed in the still
ness of the grave. All, all the *true
friends of the College were with one ac
cord, to build up this Institute at Pen
field, so generously founded and estab
lished by those noble, self-sacrificing
saints, all of whom, but one, now rest
in the bosom of their God. The late
clandestine renewal of it at the “ White
House,” at th<> President’s Levee, in
augurate a move through the Alumni.
Oh, how sagacious ! ! The remarkable
Hegira of this magic, portable, pooket
saw mill company, freighted with the
saered endowment of Mereer Universi
ty at Penfield, must needs pass through
the Hall of Justice in Greenesboro’.—
A remnant is yet left, and remnant
which the Lord will not despise. They
have the approving smiles of th% sain
ted dead. The good citizens of old
Greene are not yet dead to all sense of
honesty aud integrity.
Tho bones of Mereer and Sanders
will cry aloud from the College Cemete
ry—“ Tough not with your sacriligious
hands, the labor of the living, and the
legacies of the dead!” You elegant
men, who so heartily despise Mercer
University at Penfield, and who have
already removed a portion of the village
on speculation to where your treasure
best and with your ardent devotion to
the loaves and fishes— hands off. It is
your solemn duty and the duty of all
who co-operate with you in your efforts
radically to tear down Merces Universi
ty at and honestly to
resign, if you cannot promptly, fully
and heartily co-operate with the wills
and wishes of the pious dead who so
generously and nobly founded and built
this University at Penfield. If the
mighty works which have been wrought
in tearing down, had been expended in
building lip Mercer University at Pen
field, w'ould rejoice end blossom as the
rose. If you should elect so to do.
take unto yourselves friends of the
mammon of unrighteousness and build
up an Institution and locate to your
own liking.
Let this noble Institution, the enud
of the meek and lowly followers of the
despised Nazarine, alone.

“She gave a description of her tour to

ry severely on the ridiculous side saddle
mode of riding, that society had impos
ed on her sex, and said she knew what
she was talking about. She had tried
both ways and she could ride with ease
in the masculine style. The side saddle
was very typical of the mode in which
women go through the world; it. is a
one-sided style all through; one side
worn out an l one side cramped and dull
for want of use.”

go on, “green sickness” will be fully developed,
the headache becomes severe, with loss of mem
ory, diminished sensibility, sick tguinach. dys*
pepsia, no relish for food, loss of increas
ed fluttering of the heart, swelling of the feet,
legs and body, and uccasional ipittiog of blood.
The slightest effort cause hurriei broathing, al
most to suffocation, Tbe skin is fl bby. and
has a 1 doughy feel.” This is a sad picture,
but it is tho condi. ion of thousands of women
between the ages of fifteen and forty five, wh >
are brought to the grave by ignorance, or neg
lect, to take the proper remedy.
To all afflicted with aDy of the symptoms
above mentined.in connection wi h an irregular**
ity of the “monthly sickness,”we earnestly say
.TAKE Dr. BRADFIELD’S FEMALE KEGtN
L ATOR. A few ounces taken, y m will at once
experience its benefit, and with a little patiences
you will be fully restored to health.
This remedy has been extensively used for
upward of twenty years by many of the most
experienced and successful physicians in Geor
gia. No family s ould he without two or three
bottles.
We repeat, that Dr. J BRADFIELD’S FE
MALE REGULATOR ispre; ar and for WOMEN
and to be used by women only.
