GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE ? NO. 2.
Executive Depart* est,
Columbia, 5:h Dec. 1S36.
Gentlemen of the Stnaie,
and nf the House of Representatives :
I have received from Col. Gad- den a report
oq the proposed Rail Road between Charles
ton and Cincinnati, and regarding it as a very
able exposition of the principles upon which
?elf- moving engin s operate upon planes of
difierenl degrees, and also of the general
economy of building and repairing ral roads,
with a practical reference to the various con
templated routes for the one iu question; I
have deemed it proper to lav it before you, to
to be used and disposed of as you may think
proper.
lt s accompanied by a imp, on which the
4 fferent routes projected are distinctly mark
ed, so that their :ela:ive bearing and distances
i can be seen at a glance of the eye.
I avail my self of th is occasion to suggest the
expediency of making an appropriation for
completing the preliminary surveys, which
' Will be indispensable to a wise and judicious
selection of the route on which this road shall
be constructed. Until this shall be done* I,
presam? the Legislature will not be disposed
to make any appropriation to aid iii the exe -
cat on of the work itself.
1 have also received the accompanying me
morial, -i^ned by two of the Judges of the
Co 'it of Appeals, in the name of the whole
Bench, setting forth the wretched state of the
provided for the Sessions of the Court,
^ and the want of a public Law Library for the
JBnafHtoiad^ri jiurvoe ibeix ?frssiogs tu Co-,
Iambi*. A suitable library, conveniently ac*
cessible to those who are to decide all ques
twos of law in the last resort, is second in im
portance only to judicial qualifications. It is
?JOt to le plumed that decisions pronounced
In the absence of the u-ual and necessary
means of forming correct opinions, can have
tllst c'aifa to general confidence, which should
belong to those adjudications which are to set
tle the law of the land. 1 therefore, respect
fully recommend the subject to your consider
ation, both as it relates to the Hall and the
Liteary. . ,
1 also submit for yourcorsid/raticn, a state
ment of the injuries sustained by certain
?citisensef Anderson District, by the, deterior
ation of horses impressed for the use of Capf.
Pickens' Company of Mourned Infantry, called
into the service of the United States, in Feb. J
fat. The impressments were ma ie under
the supposed warrant of an Act of the Legis
lature, which was only intended to apply to
cases in which the S ate was actually invaded.
Bot as the Officers wereactuted by a patriotic
motive, it would seem lo be unjust to make
them rrt ponsible for the consequences ; and it
would be even more unjust that those citizens
? who sustained damage by tfie impressment of
their property, shou'd bejeft without ccmpen
? fation. ?
As the laws of he United States provide no
vemed? for this class of cases, they are sub
mitted to the liberality of the Legislature.

HALE A OA DEWY I
AT THE LIMESTONE SPRINGS.
FJMHK Subscriber will, on Monday tl*? 9th of
H. JanQvy uexi.opcn a boarding school at the I
Limestone Springs in Spartanburg At this inc?
tutioii, it m iuilWed lo embrace a more extensive j
eonrxe ot studic.v^han ha* heretofore been taught i
in Academies in this Sute. It it a lamentable, yet :
a well known fact, thaVin Grammar Schools oar ?
boys are drilled long and btonoosly in the acquisi- 1
sition of the Greek and LatiiHunguages, to the utter I
neglect ot thci; mother tongue/tM well as Natural
Science, Mathematics, History, Of the youth,
who are taught in Academies, not than one
fourth ever expect to receive a C oihgiuthqiaraik, n ;
yet the course of studies U precisely the ifcpie for
those who do not , as for those who do intend
ter College. The subscriber j>rop??<?^s, in o?r
at least, to remedy this evil, and to adapt the edu
cation of his pupils to their views in after-life.
While he will not neglect the preparation of young
gentlemen for College, (the best security for which
i* the uniform succts* which has attended the appli
cation of his scholars for admission there) he will in
the instructionof others pay more especial attention
to History, Nrw oral History, Book-keeping, the more
practically use.ul parts of Mathematics as fully and
extensively as is now taught in our College, and to
Elocution, by which is meant, not simply Oratory or
Declamation , but especially good reading, which is
so essential to every man as well as scholar. The
healthfulnesss of the location, and its remoteness
from all temptations to vice or immorality of any
kind combine advantages presented by few, perhaps
no institution in the State.
The scholastic year will be divided into two
equal sessions, commencing on the 1st of January
and ending on the 1st of Nov. The terms per
session will be 100 dollars, payable in advance, in
cluding all the charges for board and tuition.
n The terms for day scholars will be 17 50-100 dol
ing per session, payable in advance. Books, Sta
tionary, &,c. will be supplied to those, who desire it,
at the Columbia prices. Pupils will be received
at any pertad of the session and charged according
ly ; but no deduction will be made to those who
leave before ib&end of a session.
Passage can w had in the Spartanburg Stage
fromCpltUpbm, to tfi^Springs.
Ail letters of appficalSw must be directed ' to the
subscriber at Columbia, ubul the New Year ? after
that lime, at toe Springs. * v
