fHE HERALD. riiUKSDAY, SEPTEM’K 30, 186!*. 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. Fur the Greencsboro’ Herald. 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 ! From the ruins, ashes, and desolation of war, the endowment and other pro perty of Mfltcer University at Penfield, jp*,t.-. l u<\sm;<i_prctty much int-wt; ilere 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.
