DESCRIPTION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF
AhAIiUIA.
It is w it li feelings of great pleasure that
we cun now state to the public, from infor
mation which we have received, during
a late conversation with the Chairman
ofthe Building Committee, that the build
ings of the University of Alabama, situa
ted one mile (roar Tuscaloosa, have been
so far completed as to be now ready for
the reception of the faculty and the stu
dents. As the University is a subject of
great interest to the citizens ofthe Relate,
it is of importance that evety thing con
nectccl with its buildings and location
should he made fully known. We will,
therefore, make no apology in an attempt
to describe the bandings and the grounds,
that a just idea of theinstitution may be
known throughout the Slide, and that no
misapprehension regarding it may exist’
in the public mind.
The grounds of the University are
nearly *(S acres. The high road from Tus
caloosa to Huntsville runs through the
extent of them making two nearly equal
divisions. The southern division is en
closed, and is occupied partly by a Vine
yard, and partly by fruit trees, anil in
tended fi.r an experimental farm. The
buildings ofthe University are situated
on the northern and highest division, be
ing also well enclosed. The plan of Ih
University is marly that of a square; the
centre ofthe northern side of this square
ia occupied by the Laboratory, or princi
pal building tor instruction. The edifice
its of two stories, has a partite i'i front,
with o ionic emit hum, approached by a
handsome flight of steps. This building
is, in breadth, 1-3 feet, and runs back 75
feet. The interior consists of (J apart
ments; on the ground floor is the theatre
for lecture on chemistry, &c. Two oth
er rooms arc also on this floor; the upper
floor, which is reached by two handsome
stair-cases, one on each side of the lobby,
consists of three splendid apartments; the
principal one is 45 feet in length by lit)
feet wide; this room has two fire places,
and all (ho other apartments ofthe build
ing each one lira place. Immediately on
the west side of the Laboratory are erect
cd two buildings, so constructed ns to
accommodate four families: these are in
tended as houses for the Faculty to live
in, each building is 15 feet in front 1-y Jit!
feet in depth, and arc 15 feet apart. Be
tween, and immediately resting on the
two F lenity houses, is erected a hall of
one, to serve the purpose of a recitation
rm.ni. The buildings for the Professors
are 3 stories in height, and oarli family
will have (> large and airy apartments,
besides kitchen behind, and other out
buildings. The foregoing building are
all that are on the northern line ofthe
square. The west side is occupied with
one Donatory or Uollegc, three stories in
height. This building is of a plain, hut
durable sty 1c of architecture; it is IN-i feet
in length from north to south, by .‘>7 feet
in breadth, having 3(5 rooms, calculated
, to contain IS students. The building is
divided into 12 compartments of 3 rooms
each, being one sitting room in front, with
a fire place, ami two bed rooms behind.
Each of the compartments can accom
modate 4students, making-in alllrtforlhe
building. There are cellars constructed
under the building for (he purpose of
containing fuel. On the cast side, fae- 1
ing this Dormitory is situated another of 1
equal dimensions of accommodations— !
i the two Dormitories being capable of 1
| lodging OC students. The Hotel of the in- I
I *tiU;liou is a hattoAoinc two story building
widf Sapartmrntson floor, one j
of which is ahnll 55 feel in length hy 22 feel j
in breadth, paved with brick This am
ple apartment is intended ns a dining *
room for the students, of whom it can
entertain upwards of 100. TheUvoolh- !
or rooms below, are behind this one, and
arc intended ns places of cleposite fa* tie- 1
sorts, culinary utensils, and fur other cou- f
venicnees. The kitchen is conveniently *
situated, and well constructed for its pur- !
(lose. The Hotel is situated on the west
side, about «0 yards back from the line 1
ofthe square, rendering it more retired ‘
and agreeable for iis purpose of a hoard-1 \
ing house. The foregoing are nil the i J
j buildings which are finished, and which i ’
; will he at present required,
j The principal building of the Universi- *
j ty. and one of the first in the Southern |
j States, is the Rotumlo ; this building is I
three stories in Height, is circular, us its !
name imports, is surmounted by a dome 1
and it has a colonade of 2-1 columns snr- 1
rounding it: it is divided into two coin- 1
pnrtments, one below nnd one above;
I the lower one is intended for a com- ]
mcneement ball, and the upper room is !
J for a library. This building is not ell
completed within, the carpenter work .
I alone ofthe commencement room being ‘
finished. The plan also admits ofa spire *
in front, which has ndf yet been com ?
menced. The Botundo lias, with "real ]
taste and propriety, been placed in Hie ‘
centre ofthe area, and when completed
it w ill not only adorn the institution, hut '
it will add honour to its architect, and
to Hie art ism ns employed in its construc
tion. This elegant building, not bein ’
wanted for some time, the Chairman of
the Building Committee has not thoun-ht t
it necessary to hasten its'completion i
with the rapidity he has done the other :
edifices, but as those parts of the plan <
of the building which are yet to do, will t
not occupy time of any length, the Hotun- i
do will be finished longvprevious to its be- t
ing required.
Thus the Building Committee of the (
University have, for the present, drawn 1
near to a conclusion of their labors; and I
the choice of so healthy and agreeable i
a situation—the taste and elegant plan of (
the buildings—Uxcu - (strength, cvnvejii- i
nee and durability—with the great eeo.
Homy of money which has been display,
ed throughout, do honor to the minds of
tiiose connected with their erection, and
indicate a cheering and well founded
hope, that under the fostering care of a
wise and beneficient government, this in,
slitution, brought forward under such
auspices, w ill go on to prosper—be the
pride and honor of this young and hap.
py commonwealth—and continue the
home and literature—of science, and of
the arts.
ia the foregoing remarks we have at.
tempted to describe the number, slate
and locality of Iho buildings of our Uni
versify; but we may add, for the in for
mation of our citizens at a distance, that
the present erections form only a part of
the original |>lan drawn out by the arclfi.
tect, and by which the Board of Trus
tees mean to guide themselves in future
improvements. This plan admits of two
additional buildings for Professors, on
the east side of the Laboratory, ami one
Hotel on the same side, being uniform
both in n style and distance, with simi
tar buildings to the west,above describ
ed. To the south also of the present Dor
milories, it i* contemplated at a future
period to erect four or more additional
ones on the ccsi and west sides, of uni
farm appearance with those already put
up; mid next the high rond, on the sou
thern line, which is rtf'present open, may
he erected buildings to correspond with
those on the north line; which erections
will he necessary in the event of a tiiedi.
cal department being founded at the U
niversity. Tims a uniform plan will bo
constantly attended to, and every new
building ns, it is got up. will fit its place
according to the original idea ofthe archi
tect. Wo may here also add, that the
northern division ofland on which the in
stitution is situated, being at least 40
acres in extent, advantage lias been taken
of this ample spare to lay it out in walks,
the sides oF which will be planted with
trees, and also with beds of Rowers and
shrubbery, at proper distances This in
tention will be carried into execution in a
few months. We need make no remark
upon She property of this undert;iking.—
it will adorn the university, and flower
gardens and walks with shady trees,
will be truly delightful in tills climate.
The completion of the whole design of
tin-erections of this institution may not
occur in our day. hut we would express
our opinion ofthe simplicity, the justness
of the science of plans nnd unhesitating
ly award our tribute of admiration for
the efforts of taste and genius which hue
executed them.
The following are the departments of
learning proposed to bo taught in the U*
niversity, viz:
Ist. Ancient Languages, including the
higher grade of the Latin and Greek
Languages: Ancient and .Modern histo
ry; Geography, Ancient and Modem,
with the use of the Globes.

In ike above departments of learning
additional Professors may be expected to
be added, as the University mci eases in

Brown, atian, Guthrie, r.Uas Mott, do no
torions in lids part ofthe country lor the
numerousness and audacity of his horstv
thesis, was found a lunatic hy regular in -
quisition at the last term of the Court in
Ablieville, ami was despatched, by older
of the Court, under proper guard, to the
Lit untie Asylum in Columbia. The prin
cipal facts iiixm which this finding was
predicated; us appeared by the testimony
ofthe gaoler and attending physicians,
to some extent confirmed by the actual
inspection ofthe jury, were as follows •.
The prisoner, for several months, hud
preserved the same recumbunt posture,
not even changing it for the discharge of
the filthiest ollices of nature? tearing off
all clothes that were put upon him, no cr'
speaking a word, with eyes rolled hack
and fixed on vacancy, abstaining froai
food for many days at a time, and never
eating except when he was fed like a
child. These facts are suliicicnt to ex
onerate ail concerned in the finding front
any manner ofbluiue, and if they led to
a fui-e conclusion, show the indomitable
resolution of Brown to preserve his life
at every other sacrifice. It seems, how
ever, that at the time Brow n had reached
Columbia, he had recovered his loquaci
ty. his appetite, his sanity, and in some
degree his good appearance. They re.
fused to receive him at the Asylum—the
guard suffered him tocscape—some ofthe
good'peoplc of Columbia contributed mo.
ney for his relief-—he remained a day or
two in the town, then took his departure,
ami at the same time, two horses unae*
countably disappeared.
AVe detail these circumstances just as
w e have heard them, although wo hope
there may be some mistakes in the mat -
ter.—lf the narration hi- true, we think
the Regents of the Asylum have placed
a strange construction on the Act of As
sembly in refusing to admit a subject re
gularly found lunatic, whose admission
was ordered hy the Court—that the guard
acted with the most culpable negligence
—and that the people of Columbia arc
very iudiscritninutijigin their charities-
