Dr. Lodge, President of Limestone College, has conceived and put in motion a plan for establishing a great school of history at Limestone, to be known as “The Winnie Davis School of History.” The plan pro vides for t tie building of a separate hall on the campus, to be called the Winnie Davis Hall, which will be a model of architectural neatness, of durability, and of adaptation to the purposes for which it is designed. While it wiil be devoted to history at large, it will be a special deposi tory and emporium for Southern historical documents of every de scription and u great center of South ern historical interest. It is pro posed further to give this school of history a modest endowment, so that it may be self-sustaining and self- perpetuating, and may go on stimu lating the spirit of historical re search and embalming the records of a glorious past, through the centur ies to come. Dr. Lodge has been in communica tion with Mrs. Jefferson Davis for several weeks past, and she has given her full and free consent to the en terprise, and will stamp it with the seal of her endorsement and lend to it the aid of her great and far-reach ing influence. We have reason to believe that she will visit Limestone College sometime in the near future, not for the purpose of promoting this enterprise, but in answer to earnest requests from the president anti faculty of the college that she come and mingle in an informal way with the young ladies and give them some lessons either formally or informally on the responsibilities of Southern women. The whole scheme is a daring one, and worthy of the fertile brain that conceived it, but it is neither chim erical nor impracticable. It appeals to the unprejudiced mind every where, and especially dots it appeal to every true Southern heart. The South today is richer in historic material than any other nation of ancient or modern times—richer than Sparta crowned with the laurels of Marathon a«ul Thermopylae —richer than Macedon embalmed in the deeds of J’hilip and Alexander —richer than all-conquering Rome after a thousand years of world-wide domination—richer than France il lumined with the meteoric splendor of the matchless Corsican, and than England backed by her Wakes and Nelsons, her Marlburos and Welling tons—richer than all, because she has nurtured and developed the noblest types of manhood and of womanhood that the world has ever known, and because the deeds that constitute her historic lore have been commensurate with these types and worthy of her men and women. Shall her rich mines of historic treasure remain undeveloped, unex plored? Shall all that precious treasure lie locked up in the earth with the bones of her knightly sons and her queenly daughters? There is treasure there to enrich the com ing ages; to stimulate the mind of youth, to inspire the faint-hearted with courage, to quicken the languid and the indifferent into glorious life, through countless generations. The living witnesses to the existence of that treasure are passing away; the waves of time are beating upon it; year by year the mould is thickening above it; and ere long there will be no eye to mark its location, no hand to lift it from the depths of oblivion, no tongue to tell the nations of its splendor. Shame on this generation if it he content to let the glorious past lie buried and forgotten ! Rut this gen eration will not, it cannot, he thus content. I he spirit of the past still swells in the Southern heart, und there are more than seven thousand bravo men and fair women yet left in Dixie, who have not bowed the They will keep sacred bequeathed them by they will preserve the they will and till gation. We have never believed in clap trap and ad captandumj trickery. Rut no such arts are in evidence when it is proposed to use a name which must ever he pronounced by Southern lips “softly as the house hold name of one whom Clod has taken.” Winnie Davis, the daughter of the Confederacy! Child of the kingliest knight of a knightly race, rocked in the cradle of war with the bellcwings of cannon for her lulla bies, yet fair and true as “Sydney’s sister, Rembroake’s mother,” a pure exalted type of Southern womanhood and a queen whose throne was in the hearts of a whole race of heroes— what other name could he given to an enterprise having for its object the preservation and study of the records of the trying times in which her young life shone out of the dark ness like some gentle star serenely peering down from a sky black with angry clouds and rent with howling tempests? The work itself will take the name, and the name will impart to the wori a continual inspiration. N’OTKS AND COMMENTS. ami knee to Raul, the heritage their fathers, treasures untarnished; court the muse of history; the southern legend in story. J hers is abundant evidence that the Southern people are ready for some organized, systematic plan of collecting and preserving the mate rials for a full and impartial history of the Southern States. Most of the State Legislatures have aided in this Captain Carter, of the I’nited States army, who was charged with stealing and helping to steal over a million and a half of dollars from the govern ment, and who was tried two years ago by a court martial, has at last re ceived his sentence, which is dis missal from the army, a fine of (Kill, and hard labor in the peneten- tiary for five years. “The mills of the gods grind slowly but they grind exceedingly fine.” However, Capt. Carter comes out on top, so far as money goes. Rarring reputation, which we suppose he cares little about, he can well afford to work live years and pay live thousand dol lars for a million and a half. Asbury Loch 1m. (Correspondence of The Ledger.) Asiiruv, Sept. 110.—The farmers are busy picking cotton. They want to get ready for selling while it is on the rise; some say they are not uo- ing to sell until it gets S cents. Perhaps they will have a large sup ply before they sell. We will get scarcely any peas this year, hut the vines are good If the farmers / would do as their forefathers did, a living would be made as easy again as it is now. A man that has everything to buy is not a fanner. What is he? He is just a man that stays in the country; if he was a farmer he wouldn’t have to go to town to buy everything lhat a farmer needs.
