Commodore Vanderbilt, of New York, has startled the natives hereabout, by giving the princely sum of five hundred thousand dollars toward the erection of a Southern Methodist University at this point The gift is indeed magnificent, and it seems as though the people of Nashville would never tire talking of it. It is time, however, that they did stop talking, and go to acting. By the terms of the gift, they are to purchase a site of not less than fifty acres. So far, this has not been done. The halting, hesitating, dog-in-themanger policy of the property holders may defeat the gift entirely, and cause the Commodore to withdraw his offer. If he would come up and buy the site, build the structures and richly endow the institution, the people of Nashville might be induced to accept it. Their case reminds me of the story of a lazy man who preferred death to work. Rather than work he chose to be buried alive. His neighbors having argued against it in vain, at last put him in a coffin with his head sticking out, and started for the grave yard. On the way the melancholy procession met a countryman coming to town with a load of produce. "What are you going to do with that man ?" asked the countryman. "Bury him," was the reply. "What for ?" "Oh! he is too lazy to work, and says he wants to die." The countryman's heart was touched. "I hate to see this, boys," he said as he wiped away a tear with his coat-tail, "and rather than have him die, I'll give him a bushel of corn." At this the lazy man drawled out, "is it s-h-e-l-l-e-d ?" "No," replied the country man. "Well, then d-r-i-v-e on b-o-y-s," drawled the lazy man, and they drove on. Certain it is, that Nashville has a splendid opportunity to gain a great prize, and it is to be hoped that she will not let the Commodore's princely gift slip through her fingers for want of action. There is a good deal of stir among all the Tennessee towns, about Universities. The [ Baptist institution at Greenville, in your State, took a notion to move, for some reason. The committee came to Chattanooga, and Chattanooga held meetings, and passed resolutions and flew around like a hen with her head off, or on, either. Money and land were subscribed liberally, especially land. Should the future students of the University desire to go into the real estate and market gardening business, it would have been well to have accepted Chattanooga's offer. But it was not accepted. The committee took time to think about it. While they were thinking about it as hard as ever they could, they took a notion to go to Louisville. Louisville subscribed two hundred thousand dollars cash, and that settled the matter. So large a sum will settle most ^ anything. Louisville got the University. To be sure it is not a central location for the southern country, but two hundred thousand dollars is a plaster sufficient to cover that ! little defect. Money makes the mare go, and j the universities, also. It is one of the most ! powerful agents with which mankind have to ( j deal. It was Sprague, I believe, who said ( j that there was nothing so powerful as a mil- j I lion of dollars, unless it was two millions. THE SALARY STEAL. The Tennessee Congressmen who ran their arms, elbow-deep, into the treasury and took five thousand dollars each, of the people's j money, are not getting over the little matter ; so easily as they expected. Browulow has ! come out in a lette'r defeuding himself on the ground that his services are worth 6even thousand five hundred dollars to the people. He is mistaken. The people don't want him at any price. If he don't believe it, let him resign and stick out his head for reelection again. He would soon find where he stands. He is not worth two hundred and fifty dollars a year to the people. Seven thousand five hundred dollars, however, the amount of his salary, could be easily raised to get him to | resign. He is utterly played out and knows it. The salary grab was the finishing blow. By the way, I see the report that Sloss, of Alabama, has given his back pay to the poor of his district. Some men, you know, can be so very liberal with other people's money. extravagance in dress. I dropped into the Maxwell House a few nights ago, where a fashionable ball was in progress. It was gotten up by the knights of something or other, I don't remember the name. What struck me most was the extravagance in dress of both ladies and gentlemen. A friend told me that the young bucks had spent on an average two months' salary each in their out-fit. I should say that the out-fit in dress for the ball alone could not have been less than ten thousand dollars. In the South this is wrong, absolutely wicked. Such folly drains the country of money to 110 purpose. We do not get value received for it. If we send for a steam engine or barrel of flour we have something to show for our outlay, but when it goes for flashy and flimsy attire, of a quality which we can very , well do without, the southern couutry is robbed of just so much, and it never returns. If | we manufactured our own goods of the sort, the case would not be so bad, for then it would be an exchange of commodities among ourselves; but now the money goes and never returns, unless it is brought back by sweat. Every fashionable ball in the South, such as I witnessed at the Maxwell, costs on an average, a huudred bales of cotton. That is to say, it takes the value of that amount of the hardearned products of the country to pay for the foolishness. The lesson of severe economy is a hard one to learn, but it is necessary that the Southern people become students in that school, for years to come, in order that they may become "even with the world." As a section, the balance of trade is against us, and always will be, so long as we send our money out of the country as fast as we get it in. We 1 do not manufacture in the South anything that is fine, nor indeed much that is coarse, and it should be the object of every one to do without foreign-made -fashionable finery as much as possible. Every dollar's worth of it we buy sends a dollar out of the country never to return. Consider these matters, kind reader, and be economical, not only for your own sake, but j for the sake of the prostrate section in which I you live. Nemo. THE CHESTER AND CHERAW RAILROAD. In company with the President of the Ches ter and Cheraw Railroad, and a number of the Directors, we made a flying trip over the projected route, last week. We were highly pleased with the character of the country between this and Chesterfield Court House. The lauds, upon the whole, are not considered as first class for agricultural purposes, yet there are large bodies which are very productive, and rate among the first cotton and corn lands in the country. The vast scope of forty-three miles, between this and Chesterfield Court House, is densely wooded, and is the best pine Timbered lands to be found in the State. On Lynche's Creek, we were informed by one planter, that he had been offered as high as thirtyrfive dollars per acre for his lands. The country is most favorable for the construction of a railroad. For miles, all that is necessary to be done, is the clearing of the track, ditching upon both sides and putting down the cross-ties. So level is the country that the traveler can mark out several hours' ride before him with the naked eye. The meeting at Chesterfield Court House was largely attended, and the citizens manifested considerable interest in the enterprise The speakers for the occasion were W. A. Moore and J. B. Erwin, Esqs., of Lancaster, and Capt. Mclver, of Cheraw. The amount subscribed at this meeting wa3 about $16,000. Mr. L. H. Alsobrook headed the list with a subscription of twenty-five hundred acres of land. From what we saw, aud could learn, there is no reason to doubt that Chesterfield will do her whole .duty. The Directors of the Company held a meeting in Cheraw on Wednesday night last, and from the encouragement received, ordered a survey of the route, to commence immediately. The meeting held at Taxahaw on Friday, was largely attended and the subscriptions encouraging. The indications of earnestness, upon the part of all classes, insure the success of the road. Up to this time we have about 880,000 subscribed in Lancaster county, independent of the $30,000 from the County Commissioners. The prospect of increasing the'private subscriptions to $125,000 is good, and will only require a little work on the part of the Commissioners to accomplish it. Lancaster Ledger. "PAIN KILLER." There can be no necessity, at this late day, for the press to speak in commendatory terms of this remarkable medicine, in order to pro- j mote its sale; for it is a medicine that is ! known and appreciated the wide world through. Whenever we speak of the Pain-Killer, as in ; the present instance, we do so in behalf of the i afflicted, rather than with the view of advanc- i ing the interests of its proprietors. For va- \ rious diseases, such as rheumatism, cholera, ! cholera-morbus, burns, sprains, bruises, and | so on to the end of the catalogue, we are convinced that there is no remedy before the peo-1 pie equal to Davis' Vegetable "Pain-Killer," ; and we know that thousands upon thousands ! entertain the same belief. Certainly, we can-; not refer to the history of any medicine which equals that of the Pain-Killcr. It was introduced in 1840, and from that time to this, its j sale, both at home and abroad, has constantly and rapidly increased, and we rejoice at the high reputation it has achieved, because this reputation shows that it has been the means j of relieving a vast amount of human suffer- j I ing. We hope the present proprietors of I Davis' Vegetable "Pain-Killer" will long live to enjoy the prosperity which they have so 1 j fairly won. ' The Southern Baptist Convention.? The Southern Baptist Convention which assembled last Thursday at Mobile, Alabama, was largely attended by delegates from the different Baptist churches in the South. The i Rev. Dr. J. P. Boyce, of South Carolina, presided over the body. On Friday the Convenj tion discussed the subject of the removal of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary j from Greenville, S. C., to Louisville, Ky.,, i and resolutions were adopted approving the : action of the board of trustees in locating, the Seminary at Louisville, when a sufficient : endowment of at least 8500,000 should be I raised, $-'>00,000 of that amount to he raised i in the State of Kentucky aud the balance in other States, coupled with another condition that the Convention recommend the board to raise $200,000 outside of Kentucky, to be used for the location and endowment of the Seminary elsewhere, if Kentucky did not raise $300,000. The report on domestic missions showed that the board had employed last year fiftynine domestic and twenty-seven Indian missionaries, and that the several States which do their own work, but report through the board, have sixty-five additional missionaries, making 159 in all. Add to this number the missionaries of the State boards of Virginia, Maryland, Missouri, North Carolina and South Carolina?none of whom have reported their work to the general board, although they have each more missionaries than the States that have reported. For example, Virginia has nearly fifty State Missionaries, and the Baptists of the South sustained last year at least 300 home missionaries. JFmaitrial aitb Commercial.
