The selection of Sewauce our projected Institution, xvas 1 ; in the tirst instance, “without the inatu j deliberation. At the meeting hold in July 11857, at the Lookout Mountain, a Com mittee of Location was appointed, consist ing of one Trustee from each Diocese, whose business it was made to examine all the suggested localities and to report to a meeting to be held at -Montgomery in No vember, 1857, with the lull understand ing that the hoard would then and theft i decide this important question of location. ■ Having examined personally such proposed sites as their other duties would permit, 1 the Committee of location requested Col. | Walter Gwynn, of the Blue Ridge Rail- j road, to organize a corps of civil engineers, j with instructions to examine minutely ev- I cry locality which might desire to present j its claims, and called attention, through a i series of questions prepared with great! judgment by its Chairman, to the points deemed most important in the settlement of the question. To the meeting held in Montgomery, in November, 185/, this corps ot engineers reported in lull, la} ing before the Board accurate, because scien tific, information upon all the points ma : tcrial to*a final judgment in the premises. Gentlemen sent up as delegates from these respective localities were examined mi nutely as to their hoalthfulncss, tlicii ac- j cessibilitv, climate, water, building mate rials, and centrality. Advocates Lorn each locality were heard in detail and were per- j rnitted to enter as fully as they pleased in- ; to the merits of their favorite sites. When j these examinations were ended, such of the Trustees as desired to speak, were j heard before the Board. It was then re- i i solved that no locality mould he selected j which did not receive the vote of two thirds of each order, the order of Bishops and the order of clerical and lay Trustees. After a long balloting, not unaccompanied by prayer for the Divine guidance, Sewa i nee was selected as combining more ad vantages than any locality which laid been examined. Lndcr these circumstances it was neither a hasty nor imptdsivc decision j to which the Board came at Montgomery, and subsequent investigation and personal i examination have confirmed tuose v 1 t <1 for it in the first ‘F'Uuiec ;r JTHEJNION OF THE STATES: -DISTINCT, LIKE THEBILLOWS. ONE, LIKE THE SEA.” THOMASTON, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, MARCH 24 18-59. moved the objections of some who thenvo t< and against it. \\ e feel confident that Sewanee only needs a personal inspection to satisfy most minds that it has been well and judiciously chosen for. its purpose. Ihe selection of the site for the propos ed U Diversity must be considered in con nection with the objects, which the South- I ern bhoceses had in view in its establish mriir. Apart from these, it might not be. easy to prove that it was the fittest locali ty, .mt m conjunction with them, it will be found to unite more completely than any M 11 m* lliS D not. the feeble eftoi't . b’-rl’ Lie * concentration , 10 patronage oi ten Dibceses extending from the Southern line of Kentucky and V irginia, to the Western limits of Texas and Arkansas. Any locality’, therefore, which would give anything “like general satisfaction, must occupy a central posi tion, inclining as much as possible towards I the \\ est, since that is the only direction ! in which this confederation of Dioceses can ever extend itself. This limited the Trus tees, of course, to a certain range of coun try’, outside of which it would have been a waste ot time to have examined and con sidered any locality. But it was likewise essential that the selection should be made from that portion ot the centre of these Dioceses which should offer undoubted healthfulness upon a soil furnishing abun dant supplies of freestone water, which should afford easy communication with a&. parts us the confederation, and which should be surrounded by a farming coun- try providing the necessaries of life in any quantity and at a moderate expense. These requirements still further limited the choice ot the Trustees, and con lined them within an area extending from At 4‘i. (hi., to McMinnville, Tennessee, as ! f ern and A\ estern limits, and from ’ Huntsville, Alai )ama, as its j *wT, er ji ii]yW a Within nee must fto made and point to he con t lie social life of i led attention in est ion.

Col- | oe. — ! f an ! on when j aiiu j Jai proses- | .e suiTOUiuled dv their farai .q . vlieir homesteads; when the i checriul Christmas fire is burning on the j hearth, and mothers and sisters and ser vants can receive the returning student to his home, and revive within him that holy* domestic feeling which may have decayed amid the scholastic insolation ot a College ; when he can engage in the sports which make him a true Southern man, hunting, shooting, riding ; when he can mingle free ly with the slaves who are in the future to be placed under his management and con trol. That a literary’ institution may’ give i the student these precious months, it must ; be placed where the climate will permit ! him to apply himself during the hot | months of summer, where intellectual la j bor will not be a burden, where cool nights i and mornings will restore the energies i which have liagged under close applica | tion. This condition of things could only 1 be secured upon some lofty table land, 5 which should protrude itself into the cen ! tre'of the Cotton growing region and ho : happily surrounded by all the* other re quirements of a large institution. This - consideration, therefore, forced the choice I of the Board within still narrower limits. But there was likewise another point to be weighed, the question of social inter course of the Professors and Students like ly to he assembled at such a point. Could we have found within these limits a city of from fifty to one hundred thousand inhab itants, combining with the refinement of large towns the facilities which cities af ford for the conduct of life, and offering the University undoubted healthfulness the Board would probably not have hesi tated in selecting that as the best location for the University. But no such city of fered itself, and the question was left to be. decided between the neighborhood of a small town or the creation of a social at mosphere of its own around the Universi ty. \\ hen it was reduced to this alterna tive there was hut little hesitation about ’ ihe decision, and the Board almost unani moiisly agreed that it would be preferable to create a society around the 1 nlversify WMdi should receive its tone from thel ni ’ dependentup his math r I performance, some locality must I be Selected which should combine attrac tive scenery and picturesque variety with a temperate summer climate. If these coiild be found in conjunction w’ith acces sibilitv, with an abundance of water, with good building materials, and surrounded by a fanning country affording in plenty the necessaries of life, the Board cofielu ded that u should have thcr locality which its circumstances demanded. All these things are combined in the lo cation which the Board has chosen at Se wanee. It lies within the limits to which i*"e hoard waits circumscribed by the pri mary.-Aidn of the* Bishops at Pltiladel plua, being neither so far West as McMinn ville. nor so far South as Huntsville. It stands*upon the elevated plateau of the Cumberland Mountain, about 1900 feet I above the level of the ocean, possessing a I ‘T'mate equivalent to that of Flat Bockmn ;bs orl h ( arolina. It is above the level of a i ini tomittent disease, and D abundantly blessed with tlie purest water flowing from under the sandstone capping of the Cum berland lodge. It is covered thickly with, excellent timber, oak, chesnut,and walnut. I t has all over it the very best building sloiie and can command, by easy approacli the limestones and marbles’ in which Ten nessee abounds. It has coal mines at its very door, opened at great cost by a weal thy company of New York, provntmg fu el at vefy. reasonable rates. There lies at its foot, connected with-it by Bail B<*ul, one of the richest farming countries of the \\ est. Nothing is wanting to render it every way suitable to our purpose, .and there can he no objections to it except they are from its being a mountain location, or lrom inaccessibility, or from disease. A\ lieu a low lancer hears of a mountain location, he at once conceives of a lofty peak, covered with rugged rocks, whose summit is to bo reached by a severe and toilsome labor. Was this conception of 11 is correct, he would be right in arguing •hat it was unwise to place an University in such a position. But the Cumberland plateau does not answer in any particular to this conception. It is not a series of! rugged peaks, but a wide table land, hav ing upon its summit a level area of from tw o to twenty miles in width, upon which nJlbW^vifiefTSTßge fOMs are matte as smooth and easy of grade as any in the middle counties of South Carolina or Geor gia : upon which farms, county towns and watering places tire located, and which is as well timbered as any part of the coun try except the heavy river swamps. This plateau is reached by an easy ride of half an hour upon a Bail road built in the most substantial manner and laid with a T rail, which traverses the whole extent of the University lands. In addition to this Bailroad, the citizens of Franklin county, which lies at the base of tlie lands upon which the University is to stand, have ! guaranteed the building of a Turnpike from some point on the Chattanooga and Nashville Railroad to the site of the Uni versity, so that we shall be connected with the lowlands at our base by both Rail and Turnpike, giving the University the full est scope for the easy procurement of all its supplies. When this summit has been reached, there spreads out before the eye an area with just enough undulation to ; make it picturesque, covered with large timber, with a richpmderbrush of grass, and with springs of freestone water yield ing four hundred, five hundred, and in one case one thousand gallons of water per hour. From this summit the visitor is delighted with scenes of unsurpassed beau j tv, with points of the mountain running iii fantastic shapes into the valleys, like promontories into the ocean, with wooded ! slopes stretching down into the cultivated, lands and mingling the wildness of nature with the improvements of man, with fiat | valleys rich in the bounties of Providence, with an almost boundless horizon spread ing away -towards the far West. And these views vary at a hundred points of the University lands, for it is the peculi arity of this sandstone formation to break into gorges and to open up new scenery at every turn. The soil too is capable of pro ducing the very best vegetables, specimens of which were submitted to our inspection and ..vjdiieh might bear comparison with any in our City Markets. Tms Cumberland plateau seems to have l>een formed by God for the benefit and : blessings of the valley of the Mississippi’ and the cotton growing regions of the Southern States. Forming the Eastern limit of that immense valley, stretching, with this peculiar formation of a sandstone table land, for one hundred miles across the State of Tennessee, and easy of access at many points, it must become the sum mer resort of those wealthy planters, who desire to recruit their familEs during the summer months, and are yet unwilling to be far separa'e l from their planting inter ests. The time is not distant when this wlii-le plateau will be ■covered over with villas, end cottages, and watering places, and will ttem with the most refined socie ty <•£ the• S nUb and W’ujp. This will hr* ! the place of meeting of the South and I West, and Wilmington* Charleston and | Savannah will here shake hands with Mo bile, Nuvr Orleans, Nftshville and Memphis, ’ an, l cement the strong bbnd of mutual in- I P'TCst with the yet stronger ones of friend | shi]> and love. j Because when Sewanee was chosen as ! the University, the name was j unknown, it\waS at once concluded that it was remote of the way. This is the usual reason the world, and was jas false in this it is in most , others. ►Sewanee, as win be seen bv tlie a3cpij)anying map, is in connection by : RaiUand Electric Telegraph with every portion of the South and West. The Rail road ot tlie Sewanee Alining Company passes by the door of the University, and five miles lrom it unites at Cowan with the Chattanooga and Nashville .Railroad. This gives direct access on the one hand by Rail to the capital of Tennessee, and thence by turnpike to Kentucky and Ohio, and on the other hand by Rail to Chatta nooga, there uniting with that net-work of roads which run through Dalton and Knoxville to Virginia and through Atlan ta to Montgomery, Columbus, Macon, Sa vannah, Augusta, Charleston, Columbia, S. o Charlotte, N. C., and Wilmington. At Stevenson the Nashville and Chatta nooga Railroad connects with llio Mem phis and Charleston Road, which brings Sewanee into immediatecontact with Mem phis and Arkansas, and when the New Or leans and Jackson Road (now in rapid progress) is completed, with the whole of Mississippi, West Alabama and New Or leans. The Will’s Valley Railroad also connects with tlie Chattanooga and Nash ville Railroad, and brings North and Mid dle Alabama into close proximity with the University, so that instead of being out of tlie way, it can be readied from any and every point of the ten Dioceses, Texas ex cepted, within forty-eight hours, and from many of the large cities, thirty hours will be suflicient for the journey. . ’"’ton this is added the chain of graph, which * v there are D hear with’ their ch them in centrj4|jigit m x *- in means (ff fronW’ ccses formirrg?the confederate The said bitty of the dim. all question. It is fret? iron* kind—it is above the region oi the thermometiical range in sr dom exceeds 80 deg. and the . mate is not nearly so severe as thau Northern Colleges to which our s< freely sent. One remarkable ft I this plateau is its dryness which b by the lack of lichens the the entire absence of ip f or ]ara ing upon humidity, knu by the frcvu-om from decay of the fallen timber. After ti tree has fallen for years and the bark sep arates without any decay of either bark or wood. Pleurisy and Pneumonia are jvl most unknown. Strict examination was made of persons having no interest in the matter, who testified, one and all, that there could he no question upon the sub ject of its healthfulness. But whatever may be the severity of the winter climate, it need not be encountered by tha students. It is well known that October and Novem ber are two of the most delicious months upon these plateaus, and our vacation can be so arranged as to dismiss the University about the middle of December, and, al lowing the usual period of vacation, work would not l>e resumed until the middle of March. This throws out the only three months which might be too severe and re turns the young men to their homes, as we said before, during- the season in which their Parents will be most glad to see them, and when they will keep up the habits of life which arc to be theirs in the future. \Ye feel almost ashamed to say anything upon the silly cry of milk sickness which has been so pertinaciously urged against this locality. Like everything that is dis tant and mysterious, it seems to be dread ful. Because nobody knows what it is, it it is invested with additional horrors. It is magnified until fond parents imagine it to be an epidemic like yellow fever, or cholera, or small pox, sweeping off its hun dreds and desolating neighborhoods. _ But the moment you approach it, it vanishes ! Even when it did exist, a generation back, it was as rare as a rattlesnake bite, or a spider sting. Blit it always goes out with population and cultivation, and Physicians of the highest standing assert that they have not seen a case for the last twenty years, although their practice lies all through the-cove in which it is said to exist. .Since the Board have come upon the spot, nobody has dar ed to mention it. It did very well for a war-cry at Montgomery, but at Se-wajiec, and Bcrsheba, nos a word is said about it. And for tire very best reason, Pv gen tl mien of the highest respectub.T •'*” Prating those very -cows and IHV. them with their tarn lies, because a cattle ot the valleys an’ sent Into these t(nes ftn d upon these mountains dufing'the summer months, and because nobodv hesi tates to eat freely of the beef aad'bntter which are offered him here, and to drink the rich milk as if it was water. At lief* sheba Springs,at Altamont, at Tracy City, tit Cowan, at \\ inches ter, (which places surround the University site,) everybody partakes, without scruple, of any food that is set before him, and the residents would as soon expect to find arsenic in their wa ter as poison in their milk and beef. The charge is simply ridiculous and the stu dents of the 1 nirersity would have about as much to dread from milk sickness ftft Iroin who once roamed over these hnrx and swarmed in these valleys. All these advantages of climate, accessi bility, healthfulness, proximity to the cot- ton growing region, offer to the friends of the students strong inducements to settle around the University, and form, for she summer months at least, a tine society for the Professors and Students. These fam ilies will attract others, and very soon as much society will be gathered about the l niversify as shall he advantageous to the young men. Kvcry facility will be afford ed by sale and leasehold for the building °t ornamental cottages and villas around the 1 niversity, and it will exhibit the same aspect as West Point does in the summer, with fliis superiority: that besides the transient visitors who will take this place cn route I**r the Southern Springs and Northern Cities, there will he a much lar ger settled population Spending the sum mer months among the mountains. The chances are that there will be too much rather than too little society. Such are the reasons which liave induced the Board of Trustees to adhere to their choice of Sew a nee as the fittest site for the University. They have hut one object in view, tin* best interests of the Institution which they are endeavoring to create for bfouujt and blessing of the Southern ’hi they have been swayed by ’otives, inducements of ti have directed their acting n-r >u ‘vit .. „v .erne was /ts very inagnl • Vs from underta ken id be no hope of p engendered among oui*- ould continue to be depen jiis as in everything else. We > jil continue to import Teachers, Pro hors, and Literary men from other lauds. We should return nothing to the common stock of literature and science, and should he aliens from the commonwealth of let ters. We should leave our institutions with a stigma resting upon them of degra ding instead of elevating our social condi tion. All these consequences were before us when we made our choice, and with a full view of them, with a holy pride for the elevation of our homes, with a becom ing zeal for the moral culture of our peo ple, with a love, passing the love of Wo man, for the land of the sun and the slave, we were willing to stake our judgments upon the selection and leave it to time to vindicate its soundness. And we call upon the men of the Sotttli to rally around us ; not upon churchmen oiilv, but upon all good men and true of whatever name and profession ! We have undertaken this thing as a Church because there was no other way ot doing it. lhe government of such an I niversity must be an unit, harmonious in its principles, views and feelings. But it is in no sense intend ed to be sectarian. Its curriculum will ex tend through every branch of learning dhii science—its doers will be open to students of every name and sect —its conduct will be catholic in the very highest sense of the word. It the States could hate done this work wc should have let it alone.. But they could not accomplish it, for their can be no unity in a State Institution. It can be accomplished only through a body, whose ]JHncipleF arc settled, whose basis i3 immovable, whose officers are permament, whose spirit, while determined, is large and comprehensive. Confident in our pos i session of these things we have undertaken this task. We have :It idowed forth our ictc-ul we have laid the foundations broad aiul deep. It remains for you to rally ; around us, and bv your wealth, your active co-operation, to enable us to build up an ; University which shall offer your .*>ns the ! highest literary culture, which shall sur ■ round vour homes with the refinement ot scholarship an<l piety, and “ shall ‘in dicate the lieuthei 11 State. <n?ui UtC*Uo quv of ignorance and ku/MiiMU. fegf gßs Eluot.
