Col. John H. Wheeler : Dear Sir ; — I have the honor to inform you that at a meet- ing of the Historical Society of North Carolina, held on the 9th of June, inst., in the University Library Hall, a resolution was unanimously passed thanking you for the very able and instructive Address which you delivered on the Past, Present and Future of North Carolina, and requesting a copy for publi- cation. Very respectfully, ALEXANDER McIVER, Secretary. ADDRESS My Respected Audience: I appear before you at the bidding of the President a Faculty of this venerable and renowned Institution. I fear, from the pressure of important duties, which I coi neither neglect nor delay, that I shall not succeed in interesting so appreciative an audience. But I must rely on your kind- ness, and that your patriotism will, from the interesting and instructive subject, excuse the unsatisfactory manner with which it may be treated. My subject is " North Carolina : her Fast, Present and Future." In treading again these classic halls where, nearly a half a century ago," I was honored with a diploma, emotions too full for utterance crowd around me. The once familiar and friendly faces, where are they 8 Many, very many, sleep " that sleep that knows no waking here.'' Their children and their children's children are around me : these are cherished with paternal affection. Like the patriarch Israel, I feel " It is enough-Joseph my son is yet alive. I will go down and see him before I die." The past history of North Carolina is full of interest, and worthy of your attention and study. It presents a record of thrilling incident>d of ennobling virtues. No study in the range of human knowledge has a more useful and salutary effect than History. Its tendency is useful and of moral eleva- tion. It is useful, for by the study of the past we may antici- pate the future. The wise man tells us, « The thing that ha, been, is that which will be; and that which is done, is that which shall be done ; and there is nothing new under the sun." The great poet of nature, Shakespeare, adds his testimony : " There is history in all men's live- Figuring- the nature of times deceased ; The which observed, a man may propli ..>•;. With a near aim, the main course of things As yet not come to pass " Men in the aggregate, or man in the segregate, under the ■.: influences, and surrounded by similar circumstances, will usually act in the same manner. This is evinced by the history of every age ; for history continually repeats itself. By aid of faithful record we can see how the great and good have acted, and be inspired by their example. Not only has history this effect, but by its study we become familiar with the acts and words of the wise and good ; ■m a kind friend, history introduces us into their society, and we learn the lessons of wisdom and experience. "With the mighty sorcery of her of Endor, it summons to our presence " the dead out of the earth ' ? and enables us to hold converse with the wise of every age. Truly does Fuller in his Holy War say, that "History maketh a young man to be old with- out either wrinkles or gray hairs ; privileging him with all the experience and wisdom of age without the infirmities or incon- veniences thereof." To youth, the tendency of such studies is of high moral elevation, and creates emulation, The ancient Komans adorned their public halls w T ith the statues of their patriots, to be gazed on by their youth. Sallust informs us : " Nam saepe, audivi Q. Maximum et P. Scipionem, preterm itatis nostras preclaros viros, ita dicere, cum majorum imagines intuerentur, vehementissime sibi animum ad virtutem aeeendi. Sclicet, non ceram illam, neque figuram tan tarn vim in sese habere — sed memoria rerum gestarum earn flammam egregiis viris in pectore crescere. Neque prius sedari, quam virtus eorum famam atque gloriam ada?quavit."" * Sallust Jurg. helium. What youth, when lie gazes on the statue of the Father of our Country, that ornaments our State (as well as our .National) capitol, is not inspired by his noble character ; and like him live pure, honest and virtuous, and be willing like him to die for his country. The early history of any nation has always been to its people a subject of the deepest interest. The Israelites, the earliest nation which history presents to us, dwelt with great satisfac- tion on the fact that their people were the chosen of God. Their historians and poets revelled in the record that He was the director of their fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob — that He delivered them irom oppression and captivity — that He guided them by " a cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night " to the promised land. The ancient Greeks asserted that their founders were divine, and the Eoman historians record that Romulus, the founder of " the Eternal City," was a descendant from their gods. Happily for our nation, we are not compelled, as were the Greeks and Romans, to tax our patriotic Credulity with any fabled tradition. From the civilization of the age and the art of printing the founders of our republic are well known. " No fabled fugitive from the liames of Troy, no Norman tyrant first landed on our shores/' The very names of the ships in which they crossed the stormy ocean, and their com- manders, are well known. The spot can be shown on which their wearied feet rested on our shores. Their privations and sufferings, their valor and their virtues are known and appre- ciated. To no portion of these United States can this be more appropriate than to North Carolina. It is true, beyond all doubt, that the first Englishman that landed on these United States rested on her shores, on Roanoke Island, (in July 1584 ;) that in her quiet precincts the first blood of the colonists was spilled by English arms in defence of liberty, at Alamance, in May, 1771 ; and the first declaration of independence of the English yoke was made at Charlotte, 20th May, 1775. And, too, here was the first child of English parents born, whose name, at the last session of the Legislature, has been handed clown to posterity, by the erection of the county of Dare.* It was just about this period of the year, 2S6 years ago, under a charter from the Virgin Queen, (Elizabeth,) that two ships were equipped by that statesman and soldier, Sir Walter Ralegh, " the man ot wit and the sword," as he was taunt- ingly termed by his virulent opponent, Sir Edward Coke, and placed under the command of Phillip Armidas and Arthur Barlow. On the 4th day of July, 1584, they landed on Roanoke Island — a day since consecrated in history — and took possession of the same " in the name of Elizabeth of England as ye rightful Queene and Princesse thereof .' % Here, in the words of the historian Hakluyte, they found " a people most gentle, loving and faithful, void of all guile and treason, and lived after the manner of the golden age.-' Then and here was the birth-place of this now mighty empire. Here was the cradle which rocked this infant nation, whose gigantic limbs now extend from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Here, before Jamestown w r as settled, or the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth, was first displayed " the meteor flag of England," which for centuries has " braved the battle and the breeze." The colonists on Roanoke Island, from causes which would not be in place to detail on this occasion, were compelled to abandon the settlement ; and it was more than sixty years be- fore another settlement was made which became permanent. " North Carolina," says Bancroft, " was settled by the freest of the free. When the man ©f God (Fox) came to visit these people, he states he found a tender people who listened to his message with tender hearts. ' Here,' he says, l was a colony * " As early as 18th dayjof August, 1584, at Ralegh's colony on Roanoke Island, North Carolina, the native chieftain, Manteo, was admitted into fellowship of Christ's flock by Holy baptism, and five days afterwards Eleanor, daughter of the Governor and wife of Ananias Dare, was delivered of a daughter in Roanoke, and ye same was christened there the Sunday following, and because this childe was the first christian born in Virginia shee was named Virginia Pare." — Hak- luyte III 314. of men in civilized life, scattered among forests ; hermits with wives and children, resting upon the bosom of nature in per- fect harmony with their gentle clime.'' " To these people, in the autumn of 1603, was George Drum- mond sent, as Governor, by Sir Wm. Berkley, one of the Lords Proprietors, under the charter of Charles II. It is no less true than remarkable that both the projector ot the colony, Sir Walter Balegh, and its first Governor received at the hands of power the same unmerited fate — one was be- headed and the other hanged. But their names can never die. As long as the oak shall grow, our capital shall per- petuate the name of the one, and as long as " the fire fly lamp " shall shine over the pellucid waters of " the lake of the Dismal Swamp" shall the name of Drummond be preserved. The charter of Charles II., dated in 1663, granted to the Duke of Albemarle and others all the present State, and run- ning west to the Pacific ocean. What an empire would North Carolina have been had she retained her original proportions ! This grant would include Tennessee, Ar- kansas, a part of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and Southern California. The charter of Charles II. was transferred by the Lords Proprietors, except Lord Granville, to the English Crown in 1729 ; under which the colony remained until 1776, when the revolution commenced and our independence of England was achieved. The Governors, appointed by the Lords Proprietors and afterwards by the Crown, sent home, monthly, or as often as opportunity occurred, official reports of every transaction in the colony. Every event is narrated and every individual is described in these despatches with marvellous minuteness, These are all now on file in the offices of the Board of Trade and Colonial Department, in London, and afford a perfect pho- tograph of every individual and event during this period> 10 They are of the deepest interest, and without them no his- tory of the State can be complete.-" In 1776 Richard Caswell was Governor, and from him to the present incumbent a regular succession can be traced. The career of the State during this period can be marked in its onward course. And such material is the past of North Carolina. I could wish that time and the opportunity would allow to present the characters and events during the adminis- tration of eacli of these, for this w T ould be a perfect record of the past events of our State. But we will pass on with the observation, that the names of the rulers of North Carolina, among these, Caswell, Spaight, Davie, Hawkins, Branch, Iredell, Stokes, Swain and Morehead, present every quality that can dignify our nature. The parts which they acted in the spirit-stirring events of 1776, (the Revolutionary war,) 1812, and other periods, prove their wisdom, courage and patriotism. The State under such sagacious rulers increased in population, production and resources. Ratio of Increase. The population in 1790 was 893,751 (3d State in Union,) 1800 was 478,103 21.42 1810 " 555,500 16.19 1820 " 638,829 15. 1830 " 737,987 15.52 1840 " 753,419 2.09 1850 " 869,039 15.35 1860 " 992,022 14.12 * Prom a census taken in 1*776, forwarded by Governor TVyon, the colony had 16,183 white, 13,923 colored, 4S,610 taxables. Governor Burrington, in an official despatch to the Duke of New Castle, Feb. 20, 1732, thus describes the people of North Carolina: " The inhabitants of North Carolina are not industrious, but subtle and crafty to admiration — always behaved insolently to their Governors — some of them they have imprisoned ; at other times set up two or three supported by men under arms. All the Governors that ever were in this, lived in fear of the people (ex- cept myself) and dreaded their assemblies. The people are neither to be cajoled or outwitted. Whenever a Governor attempts to effect any thing by these means he will lose his labour and show his ignorance." — From Public Records London, America and West Indies, vol. 22, p. 122. a a a u a a a u a a a a a u 11 North Carolina, from being the third State in population in 1790, (Virginia being first and Pennsylvania second, ahead of New York and Massachusetts,) she, in 1860, falls to the twelfth State, behind even her daughter Tennessee. Of the Present I am now to speak : The State of North Carolina, extending from 33 degrees 53 minutes to 36 degrees 30 minutes north latitude, contains about 50,704 square miles, and about 32,000,000 of acres, about six million and a half of which, only, is cultivated. As compared with the other States of the Union, North Carolina is the 21st in size, having nearly the same territory as New York, Pennsylvania, and Tennessee. In population, in 1860, it had 992,622 ; by the coming census its population will exceed a million. It is the twelfth State m population, being a little less than Georgia and a little more than Alabama. It has 22 inhabitants to every square mile. Its length, from the Atlantic ocean to the Tennessee line, is about 500 miles, and its mean breadth, from north to south, 100 to 150 miles. An air line from an extreme eastern point in North Carolina to the extreme western point in Cherokee county, is a greater dis- tance than from Raleigh to Niagara Falls. The largest county in population is Wake, 28,627 ; and in territory, the county of Jackson, 1,308 square miles. The smallest in population is Alleghany, 3,890 ; and the smallest in territory, is Currituck/" or perhaps her little unchristened daughter Dare — though for want of a good topographical map of the State this maybe questioned. The character of the State demands a complete survey by competent engineers. Guilford county is the most densely populated, having 33 persons to every square mile. As to her productions in agriculture, according to the last census North Carolina was the fourth State in the Union as to Tobacco, producing 32,853,950 pounds, Virginia, Kentucky and Maryland being in advance of her. She was the second State as to Sweet Potatoes, producing 6,140,039 bushels, Georgia * Guide to Capitalists and Emigrant?, Raleigh, 1869 12 being the first. The tenth as to Corn, producing 30,078,564 bushels, about thirty bushels to each inhabitant — Indiana being the first, Missouri second, Ohio third. The fifteenth as to Wheat, producing 4,743,706 bushels, Illinois being the first, Wisconsin the second and Indiana the third. North Carolina produced 145,514 bales of Cotton, 400 pounds each, 2,781,860 bushels of Oats, and 7,598,976 pounds of Rice. The State differs in its soil, products and climate in its dif- ferent sections. It may be physicially divided into 1. The Coast and Swamp Land section, extending from the sea shore to a line drawn from Eden ton to Wilmington ; 2. The Middle section, consisting of the section from this belt to the foot of the mountains, and 3. The Mountain or Piedmont region, extending to the Ten- nessee line. I. The First Section abounds in valuable timber, such as cypress, cedar or juniper, oak, maple, of great value. A single cypress tree has made $100 worth of shingles. The soil, of great and enduring fertility, is easily worked, producing from 30 to 50 bushels of corn, 400 to 600 pounds of cotton and from 10 to 20 bushels of wheat per acre. There are fields in Hyde county that have been cultivated for 100 years without rest, and without fertilizers, and still produce heavily. The watercourses and sounds afford easy and cheap transpor- tation to market. Immense beds of marl afford ample fertilizers. The pine trees yielding the best of turpentine and lumber. The fisheries are the largest in the country for shad, herring and rock, and are so productive that 175,000 herring are taken at a single haul. One hundred thousand barrels are packed an- nually on the sounds. Grapes abound in profusion. This is the section of the famous Scupper nong, which is native and peculiar to North Carolina and, in the opinion of one qualified to speak by his experience and extensive travel, " will some day attract capital and skill in its manufacture of wine to a degree not surpassed even in the most celebrated wine districts of Europe. It is a marvel in the history of the grape, and its 13 size, abundance of produce, and luscious flavor would astonish the vine growers of Europe. It needs no pruning and wants space and light and heat from the sun. One vine will cover a quarter of an acre,* and its age extends beyond the memory of man. Its fruit contains all the elements of as good a wine as can be found any where in the world. I heard," he adds, " that eminent chemist and analyzer, Dr. Warren, of Boston, declare in a lecture that the scuppernong grape under proper management and skilful manipulation would make as good a wine as the celebrated " Tokay " of Hungary, and very much like it."f But, as Dr. Mason says, " the scuppernong is a downright Southerner, and steadily refuses to bear at all North of Mason and Dixon line. In fact he is a native North Carolinian, and truer to his native State than many a North Carolina man or woman." Not only does this region abound in fish, but in winter it is the resort of immense flocks of wild ducks, swans and geese, which afford much profit and amusement to amateurs and sportsmen. The climate on the coast is mild and the winters not so rigorous as in higher localities in the same latitude, being tempered by the influences of the gulf stream and its prox- imity to the ocean. It is an error to suppose that because this section is swampy and low that is unhealthy. Dr. Em- mons, the late able State Geologist, says " those who have cultivated these lands for forty years declare that their families enjoy as much health as those who live at a distance. Persons," he states, " who are in the habit of plunging into the swamps, knee deep, for draining, and live in the vicinity of the black vegetable mould, are rarely sick with fever.":): The census A Col. S. T. Carrow, Marshal of North Carolina, and a native and resident of this section, states that he has known a single scuppernong; vino to cover a - of three acre-. f-Hon. D. M. Barringer, late U. S. Envoy to Spain. tReport of 1858, p. 57. u proves that the longevity of this section is equal to any in the United States. While the mild climate enables out-door work every day in the year, the cattle, horses and mules keep fat on the native grasses for nine months in the year, and many never receive any grain or shelter the whole year. II. The Middle Section, extending to the foot of the moun- tains, is adapted to the production of the cereals, tobacco^ cotton and minerals. This whole region, as well as the moun- tain region, abounds with streams affording power enough to turn all the spindles of the world. Mines of gold, silver, iron,, coal, copper and lime abound. Gold w T as known to exist in North Carolina before the com- mencement of the present century. A large lump was found in Cabarrus county in 1799. From that time to 1837 this State produced all the gold in the United States. The total deposits from this State in the mints amount to more than ten million of dollars. This does not include all the production,, for from its purity it is eagerly sought for by jewelers, and one-half of the products of the mines are thus absorbed.* The United States branch mint of North Carolina coined in 1838 5,048,641 50. f Many new mines are being discovered, and the attention of capitalists is drawn to this subject. With the modern improvements in machinery this industry is yet to produce more wonderful results. " The richest gold mines," says Professor Kerr, to whose valuable researches the State is deeply indebted, " lie along and near the line of contact of the slates and granite. Also along this line the principal silver mines. The most noted is at Silver Hill, in Davidson county. The combination is sil- ver, gold, copper, zinc and lead. Silver exists in Watauga county also." Copper is found combined with gold also, and many mines- that originally were worked for gold, on account of the increase ^Report upon the raineral resources of the United States by J. Ross Browne and James W. Taj T lor, 1867, p. 340. f Finance report 1867, p. 340. 15 of copper pyrites, were abandoned ; several have been recently re-opened as copper mines. Valuable diamonds have been found in the trans-Catawba country and in Lincoln and Rutherford counties. Next to gold, and far more important, for it is " the king of metals," Iron abounds in this section. One belt exists from Surry, on the north, to King's Mountain, on the south ; another belt through Guilford, Randolph and Montgomery counties, and a third belt in Chatham, and elsewhere. These ores are specular, magnetic and hematite. Extensive deposits exist in Cherokee county. This is destined, when our railroads are finished, to become one of the most important industries of the State. But without coal, iron would lose much of its value. Coal is found in two districts known as the Dan River and Deep River Coal Fields. The Deep River bed has an area ot more than forty square miles, containing more than 6,000,000 of tons to each square mile. This would give 1,000,000 tons annually for several hundred years. It is of the best quality and well suited to the manufacture of iron and gas. Kerosene Oil has been discovered in this section. Lime- stone quarries exist in McDowell, Lincoln, Gaston and other counties. Alum and Copperas Slates are found in Cleaveland and Rutherford counties, enough to supply the whole conti- nent. The Slates form a notable feature in the geology of North Carolina. The Linville slates afford an abundant supply for building, grind stones and whet stones. Manufacturing of Woolens, spinning and weaving Cotton, are carried on in this section to a large extent.* All the counties produce in abundance, when well tilled, Wheat, Corn, Rye, Oats, Tobacco and the best Meadow Grass, and the southern portions much Cotton. Excellent orchards of Peach, Pear, Apple and other fruits. *There are 45 factories, (40 cotton and 5 woolen.) in North Carolina, employ- ing 1,987 hands, *2, 272,000 invested, using 7,465,800 pounds of material, anrl manufacturing goods to the amount of *3,rt35,780 annually. 16 This section is blessed with the finest climate and is free from the chilling rigor of the North and the enervating heat •of the South. The mean annual temperature is 60 degrees (Fahrenheit) ; the mean summer heat 75 degrees, the mean winter, 43 degrees. The labors of the farm need never be suspended, and ploughing can be done at any and all seasons of the year. It is a fit home for a healthful and hardy population. There is not a more kind-hearted, law-abiding population in the world. "During my administration as Governor," says Jonathan Worth, " not a single instance occurred in the State where a sheriff had to summon either civil or military aid to execute the processes of the law ; and as to crime, North Caro- lina may safely challenge comparison with any State in the Union. III. I shall now speak of the Third Division — the Piedmont or Mountain region. This is the loveliest portion of the globe. Before its towering mountains and lovely valleys the beauties of the Ehine and the palisades of the Hudson sink into insignifi- cance. Although abounding in mountains, which divide the waters falling into the Atlantic from those which fall into the Gulf of Mexico, yet this section contains large qualities of land of great fertility. Few of the lands are too steep for cultiva- tion. They produce good crops of corn, wheat, oats and rye. In contests for prizes at agricultural fairs in Buncombe county, Gen. Clingman, long well known for his devotion to North •Carolina, states that from 100 to 150 bushels of corn per acre have been awarded. Irish potatoes are produced in fabulous quantities, and no region surpasses it for clover and timothy. The finest peaches and apples on this continent, both in size and liavor, grow here. Grapes, the Catawba and others, flourish spontaneously. Horses and cattle are led out and fed from April to November on the mountains, and sheep brouse all the winter in good condition. No country is better tim- bered ; white pine, hemlock, oaks in great variety and size, •chesnut. hickory, locust, poplar and black walnut ; the moun- tain birch, the mahogany of the mountaineer, bird's eye maple, 17 and cherry, are found of large size. Professor Kerr tells us lie measured a cherry tree in Elk bottom more than nine feet around, and seventy-five feet to the first limb. This tree would be worth in New York one hundred dollars. Hundreds of acres of native cranberries arc produced, from which large exporta- tions are made. The ginseng is extensively exported to China from, here ; also wild ginger, snake-root, hellebore, spikenard and other medicinal herbs, render a return to this section of over $250,000 annually. Gold, iron, lead, silver and copper mines exist in this section, and some of them have been worked in Burke, Cherokee, Macon and Jackson to great advantage. The Cranberry Forge in Mitchell county, }delds an iron equal to the best Swede. No country more abounds in water-power, and this section is destined to present some town that will prove the Lowell of North Carolina. The French Broad river at Asheville is larger than the Merrimac at Lowell, and falls 600 feet in a dis- tance of thirty miles, and soon a railroad will run along its banks. The streams attain a sufficient size in the higher val- leys, and before they escape into Tennessee they have a de- scent of one thousand feet. The business of stock raising, wool, and making cheese and butter, are destined to flourish, as they have already com- menced in this section. Manufactures will follow. The climate is exhilirating and bracing. The pure air in- vigorates the system so as to render existence almost a luxury. The celebrated Dr. Gibson, one of the Professors of the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania, a close observer of climatology, visited Asheville in 184:2 and analyzed the air of Buncombe : he assured me that it was the purest atmosphere on our continent. Many consumptive persons have restfrted to this section and found relief. Being in a southern latitude and surrounded on all sides by lower and w T armer regions, the climate is much milder than that of northern Virginia or Pennsylvania. In former years many wealthy persons from Charleston and else- where made this delightful region their summer homes. 9, 18 A member of Congress who travelled through this section a few years ago, declared from his place in the House of Repre- sentatives, that this region surpassed in sublimity and beauty any portion of our country ; and he verily believed that here was the Eden in which Adam and Eve dwelt in their days of innocency. Can we not feel with the lamented Gaston, — " Then let all who love her, love this land of Eden. As happy a spot as on this side of Heaven, Where plenty and peaee, love and beauty smiling o'er us, Raise aloud, raise tog-ether the heart-thrilling chorus, The Old North State forever."" I have now gone over the three great physical divisions oi the State ; the productions, soil and climate of each set forth, in a manner perhaps tedious to you and not satisfactory even to myself. The railroads of the Statef afford communication nearly to every portion of the State and are one of the advantages of the ] RAILROADS OF NORTH CAROLINA. 1 Atlantic and North Carolina, from Goldsboro' to Morehead City, '- J 5 miles. 2 *Alantie, Tennessee and Ohio, from Charlotte to Statesville, 42 miles. 3 *Chatham Railroad, from Raleigh to Gulf, 45 miles. 4 Charlotte and South Carolina, from Charlotte to Columbia, S.

Not complete 19 present age. There are now twelve railroads completed in the State and ten in progress or under charter. In 1840 there were 53 miles of railroad in North Carolina ; there are now 1042 miles, which gives a ratio of one mile of railroad to every 48 square miles of territory and to every 1000 inhabitants.* When this great advance in civilization was at first agitated in our State, the Kev. Dr. Joseph Caldwell, President of the University, who was among the first and foremost in every work to improve the condition of ."North Carolina, visited Europe to obtain all the information in his power on this and kindred subjects. All well recollect his admirable essays, signed Carlton, in the papers of that day. I heard him before the Committee of Internal Improvement of the Legislature, in 1827, advocate this system of improvement, and he laid down a projet of a road from Asheville to Beaufort, as a base line, running through the city of Raleigh, and that all other roads should be adjuncts or branches of this. It is to be regretted that this plan had not been adopted, as it would have secured symmetry and uniformity. In other nations these works are planned and executed by the government. In France the rail- ways are under the bureau of a cabinet officer. (Ministere des travaux publics.) In our State, however well constructed and properly managed, the railroads are not well projected. Their effect is to carry out the produce of our State to other " North Carolina has one mi le of railr oad to every 48 square miles, and on mile to every 1,000 inhabitant: j. — Poortfi ; Manual of Railroads.

The State has been compared to a strong man bleeding from both arms — for while the early construction of our roads led to Petersburg and Norfolk on the one side, the later ones lead to Columbia on the other ; then some are parallel, as the Wilmington and Weldon with the Raleigh and Gaston, and also the North Carolina Railroad with the Wil- mington and Rutherford. Some of them, it is difficult to say where they, as yet, are to lead to. Like the tortuous course of the politician, "They wire in and wive out, And leave the people still in doubl Whether the snake which made the traci Was coming in or going back." They are, however, institutions of great value and necessity, in peace or war ; and we believe that they will progress until the iron horse, having had his morning feed among the fertile valleys of our mountains, will dash in fiery speed across the Rocky Mountains until he laves Ins wearied sides in the waters of the Pacific* The cause ot Education has received its merited attention in North Carolina. No State had its literary fund more munificently endowed nor dispensed it with a more princely hand than ours. But the disasters of Avar have affected our funds, and these ancient halls, where Apollo held his quiet court, resounded with the heavy tread of the sons of Mars. Our common schools have been seriously retarded, but under the patient and prudent superintendence of their present head, Hon. :S. S. Ashley, these streams will again flow to every portion of ,our State, to invigorate and strengthen our land. Already we see, yes, this day is evidence, that this renowned * No one can fail to appreciate the value of railroads and their advantages. I find the following memorandum among the works of Thomas Jefferson : " 1797, February 23d, left Alexandria for Philadelphia ; 26th, reached Baltimore ; March 2d, reached Philadelphia; spent for expenses $49.03; time ten days." The same trip can be performed now in A% hours at an expense of $5.50. 21 and ancient Institution, under the auspices of activity, intellect and energy, is rising like another Phoenix from its ashes, and again she will send out her alumni to be the statesmen of your congress, the judges of your law, aye, and even as she has done, the rulers of your nation.* The truth must be acknowledged, and this is stated " more in sorrow than in anger," that there is n© section of our Union where education has in iormer years been so neglected as in Nortli Carolina. The statistics prove to us that she stands at a low point ; that while in Connecticut only 1 person in * Tiie charter for the foundation of a University was granted by the Legisl in 1789, by the efforts of Gen. William R. Davie and others. The location was fixed at. Chapel Hill, and the corner stone was laid on 12th October, 1798. The first instructor was Rev. Dewett Kerr, a graduate of Trinity College, Dublin, and the tirst student (Hinton James, of Wilmington,) arrived in February, 1795. The first commencement was in 1798, when seven young gentlemen received the degree of Bachelor of Arts. Dr. Joseph Caldwell, a native of New Jersey, and graduate of Princeton College, was President from 1804 (except four years, from 1812 to 1816, the unsuccessful administration of Dr. Robert H. Chap: till his death in 1835, when he was succeeded by Hon. David L. Swain, who was succeeded by Rev. Solomon Pool, 1869. ■ IN NORTH ( AROLIXA. 1 University of the State at Chapel Hill, 2.

Judge Peeve states in his work on Domestic Relations, that in the course of 20 years practice of the law in Connec- ticut, he was never met by five persons who could not read or write. Let any lawyer in North Carolina say what lias been his experience. Let this humiliating fact rouse our rulers, our statesmen and our people to exertion, and remove this stigma from our escutcheon. What North Carolinian, when he goes abroad, has not had his cheeks to tingle with .•shame when this truth is alluded to. It is stated that on one •occasion, at "Washington, as one of our members of Congress, who was noted more for his wit than his prudence, was walk- ing on Pennsylvania Avenue with another member (who was from Connecticut,) a drove of fine mules passed along the street, when the Carolinian remaked : " See ! there are some of your constituents from Connecticut come to consult with you." " Oh, yes !" replied the other, "I received a notice of their coming, and moreover, they are now on the way to North Carolina to open schools." These gibes and taunts, instead of worrying us, should stimulate us to remove the reproach. The Press of the State is one of the most remarkable features of the age. It is a fact that more newspapers are printed in our country, than in any other nation on the globe. They are the true exponents of the times, and give the best index of popu- lar views and the current of popular opinion that we can pos- sibly obtain from any other source. They are vast deposito- ries of knowledge on every topic of the day that can engage the thoughts and enlist the attention of men. Lord John Russell, in his great speech in Parliament, in 1822, cited the multipli- cation and the improvement in newspapers as gratifying evi- dence of increased wealth and expanding culture of the middle classes of England. It is in our State a great power, and this idea comprehends how capable it is for good or evil. There are at present published about sixty papers in the 28 State/" Three-fourths are political, the balance religious, agri- cultural and temperance. Some are daily, at Raleigh, Wil- mington and Charlotte. It is a subject of regret that these, though conducted with ability, should be marked with so much acrimony. Abuse never yet made a convert to truth. Parties have always existed and must continue to exist in a free coun- try, where every one thinks as he pleases and speaks what he thinks ; and from the collision ot opinion the truth is elicited. But these opinions should be stated with candor and maintained by truth. Mr. Jefferson justly said that " error of opinion may be freely tolerated where freedom of discussion is allowed to combat it." The tone of our press should be more elevated. The newspapers have been properly styled u popu- lar educators.'' All that can, read them, and many read but little or nothing else. How important, then, that they should be guided by moderation and truth, and tempered with forbear - 1. Advocate, Salem, 2. American, Statesville, 3. Anti-Radical, Newbern, 4. Argus, Wadesboro, 5.

Under the impulse of excited and exag- gerated statements, deeds of lawlessness and violence are com- mitted, which render life insecure and destroy the happiness of the citizen and the character of the State. We might dwell with patriotic pleasure on the Charitable Institutions of our State — the Insane Asylum at Raleigh, under the superintendence of the energetic Grissom, a monu- ment to the philanthropy of that " white-winged messenger of peace,"' Miss Dix, and the Institution for the Deaf and Dumb, under the fostering care ol Mr. Palmer : also, the Penitentiary and other institutions ; but space and time do not allow,, nor am I willing to trespass longer on your patience and kind- ness. But looking back upon the past, and dwelling on the present, what a glorious future is presented ! It has been asserted that thi3 nineteenth century has been the most impor- tant period in the history of our race that has elapsed since the creation of the world. Just pause and see what has been accomplished by the genius of man within our own day ! The tunneling of the Alps at Mount Cenis ; the Canal of Suez,, connecting the Red Sea with the Mediterranean in Europe : the Railway uniting the Atlantic and Pacific oceans in our own nation ; the Marine Telegraph uniting Europe and America — are achievements unrivalled in the history of the world, and monuments of the enterprise and genius of the present age. Within our own memory we had no telegraphs, no ocean steamships, no steam cars, or street railways. But now, by the advance of science, we can hear from the distant parts of the globe in a few moments, and read the debates of yester- day in the British Parliament in our morning papers here.. It brings together the civilized world in close neighborhood. .Still we have much to do, and we should be up and doing it. Everything encourages us, ut clouds and darkn jss rest upon it." 25 If war and disaster have clouded our prospects ;* if our finances are disturbed and our industries crippled, jet we have our luxuriant soil, our healthful climate, our invigorating air, our mines of gold, iron and coal, and the future may yet be as full of prosperity as our past is full of proud recollections. The approaching census, (the 9th, f) will show that we have more than a million of people, whose hearts should beat warmly for the honor of their country. These arc the wealth of any country. '• What constitutes a State V Not high raised battlements, or labored mound Thick wall or moated gate, Nov cities proud with .spires and turrets crowned; Not bays and broad armed ports, Where, laughing- at the storm, rich navies ride . Not starred and spangled courts. Where low-born baseness wafts perfume to pridi . No, men, high minded men, — Men, who their duties know, And know their rights, and knowing dare maintain, And crush the tyrants, while they rend the chain. These constitute a Sta • See Table appended. f The approaching census, (the 9th census since the foundation of our govern- ment,) under the practiced and patient superintendence of its present accom- plished head, (Gen. Francis A. Walker,) promises to be of great value. To us it is very important Among other important results, it, fixes \he ratio of our representation in Congress for the next decade. Under the Constitution in 1789, North Carolina had five members. By the first census taken in 1790, North Carolina had ten members, next to Virginia, Massachusetts and Pennsyl- vania, and equal to New York. The following table exhibits the ratio of repre- sentation under the census of the years 1790 to I860, inclusive, and the num- ber of members of Congress to which North Carolina was entitled: CENSUS. RATIO >■'"• OF MEMBERS. 1790 33,000 10 1800 33,000 12 1810 35,000 13 1820 40,000 13 1830 47,700 13 1840 70,680 9 1850 93,423 8 1860 126,825 7 It depends on the energy and fidelity of our census takers whether this number be increased or diminished. The present number of the House of Rep- resentatives is 243, the Senate 74 members. The British House of Lords has 462 members and the House of Commons has 658 members. The Senate of France has 169 members and the Legislative body has 376 member-. % Sir William Jones. 26 In every period of her history, in every peril and national danger, the sons of North Carolina have shown their noble character by deeds of valor and of virtue. And in conclusion, shall I say nothing to the fair auditory -who have so patiently endured this dry detail of facts and " bristly array of figures !" The most patriotic efforts of man have ever been encouraged and sustained by woman's sympathy and woman's aid. Our continent had never been discovered had not woman aided, for when monarch after monarch refused to listen to the appeals of Columbus, and even her husband turned a deaf ear, Isabella pledged her jewels to raise the means, and thus enable Co- lumbus " to give a new world to the kingdoms of Castile and Leon." And justly proud as is our State of the character of her sons, bright as are the gems of her hills and pure as is the gold of her mountains, prouder she is of her fair daughters — brighter than her gems and purer than her gold : There's music in the winter blast That sweeps thy hollow glen, Less sturdy sons would shrink aghast From piercing winds such as thou hast. To nurse these iron men. And thou hast gems, aye, living pearls ! And flowers of brightest hue ; How lovely are thy bright-eyed girls, t Of fairy forms and elfin curls, ..J And smiles like Herman's dew. - — 27 1869.
