UJiTIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA- From the message of the Governor, published in the Raleigh Register, giving information in rela. tion to this institution, in compliance with a resolu tion of the Legislature, we have compiled the fol lowing facts, which will be found interesting: The forty-first section of the Constitution of the State adopted on the lSth Dec. 1776, declares, "that a school or schools shall be otablished by the Legislature for the conve nient instruction of youth, with such sala ries to the masters, paid by the public, as may enable them to instruct at low prices; aitd that all useful learning shall be duly en couraged and promoted iii one or more Universities." The Constitution of the United States was I Aggregate, adopted by IMorth Carolina on the 21st JNov. 17S9; and "the University of North Caroli na" was incorporated on the 11th day of the following month. - The first meeting of the Trustees was held in Fayetieville, on the 15th November, 1790. Immediately after the organization of the Board, Mr James Hogg presented a deed from Benjamin Smilh, Esq. of Brunswick, subsequently Governor of this State, convey ing to the University twenty thousand acres of land. On the 3rd August, 1792, more than two years and a half after the charter was granted, the entire amount ot property held by this In stitution, consisted of the s&m of $2,705 41, invested in the funded debt of the United States; $423 84 cash; subscriptions payable in five equal annual instalments, amounting to $200; lands in Orange county, yielding an annual rent of $33; and the lands before mentioned, given by Gov. Smith, which were at that time, and for more than twenty years thereafter, in the occupancy of the Chickasaw Indians. The loan of $10,000, granted by the State inT791, was subsequently converted into a gift; and since that donation, no direct ad vancement has at any time been made from the Public Treasury. The grant of confisca ted estates was revoked in 1804; the dona tion of arrearages and debts due to the States, proved nearly unproductive; and with these exceptions, "this great and useful school was established and has been supported, since the 13th February, 1795, until the present time, by funds derived from escheated estate, and the donations of beneficent and patriotic in dividuals, influenced by a zeal for the morals, learning and liberties-of the State." The various sources of public patronage have been already indicated. The largest donations received from individuals, were the conveyance before mentioned, of 20,000 acres of land, by Gov. Smith; the devise of 13.000 acres of valuable laud, by the late Maj. Charles Gerard; and the gift, by Gen eral Thomas Person, of Granville, of $1,025 in cash, in April, 1796. The benefactions of the two laUer gentlemen have been appropri atelv commemorated, by connecting their names with the Public -Halls of the institu tion. Shortly after the selection of Chapel Hill as the seat of the University, twelve individ uals residing in the vicinity, conveyed to the Trustees, for no other consideration than that of enlightened patriotism, 1392 acres, in cluding all the real estate at present held by the corporation. In 1802, the ladies of Raleigh presented a pair of globes, with a compass; and in 1804, the ladies of Newborn a quadrant, "the best they could procure," as an evidence that the "sex could never be iudifterent to the promo tion of science, connected as it is with the virtues that impart civility to manners and refinement to life." The earliest contributions to the Library were made by the late Judge Williams; Jas. Reid, Esq. of umington; General William R. Davie, of Halifax; and David Kerr, Esq. of Chapel Hill, i:- 1795. By the late Rich, ard Beunehan, Esq. of Orange; Abraham Hodge, Esq. of Halifax; the Centre Benevo lent Society of Iredell; and Francis N. W. Burton. Esq. now of Murfreesborough, Tenn. in 1796. Bv the late William Henry Hill, Eso. and Edward Jones, Esq. of Wilming ton; and Joseph P. Gautier, of Bladen, 1797. Bv the late Governor Davie, of llalilax; and Joseph B. Hill, Esq. in 1799 and by Gen. Calvin Jones in 1S00. The arrirrpcrate amount of Receipts into th Trpusnrv r.f ih University, from the 15th November. 1790. to 20lh November, 1S40, is $520,782 42. . Trm endowment of the University con sists, at the present time, of about nine hun drfid acres of land, nearly sunouudiug the village of Chapel Hill, including the grounds on which the College -Ldihces and the resid ences of the Faculty are situated. The College buildings are five in number, constructed of brick, and in good repair. The centre (known as the south) building. f is three stories high above the basement story, 117 feet in length, and fifty feet m width. exclusive of the projection. The east arid west wings are three stor;es high, 96 feef seven inches long, and forty feet one and a half inches wide. , J. .r In addition to the Library,, laboratory, Philosophical Chamber, the two Halls appro priated to the Literary Societies, and three Recitation Rooms, these edifices contain sixty-five dormitories, IS feet in length aud 16 feet in width, affording comfortable accom modations to one hundred and thirty stu dent?. - , ' " ' ; ; . , Person and Gerard Halls are smaller struc tures, devoted to the public exercises of the institution and to Divine Worship. The Steward's Hall is a plain framed build ing, pretty well suited to the purposes for which it was designed. The Professors' houses are structures of a similar character, sufficiently neat and com fortable, but neither of them in a very good state of repair. The Lands and Edifices, Chemi cal and Philosophical Appara- "' tus, Mineralogical and Geolo gical Cabinet.-?, aud Library, may be fairly estimated at $115,000 00 1,000 shares of Stock in the bank of the State of North Caroli na, 100,000 00 Due on bonds, supposed to be entirely secure about 35,CO0 00 $250,000 00 The Faculiy is composed of The President, who is Professor of Na tional and Constitutional Law. A Professor of Chemistry, Mineralogy & Geology. A Professor of Mathematics & Natura Philosophy., A Professor of the Latin Language and Literature. and A Professor of the Literature. Greek Language Professor of Rhetoric and Logic. A Professor of the French Language and Literature.- A Tutor of Ancient Languages. Av Tutor of Mathematics. The proposed edifice should contain more commodious halls for the two Literary So cieties than those they now occupy; a libta ry; and much more extensive and conven- lunllv arrannoil lrtnro rnrvma. nnd mr-ilntinn --v.. "-WW.. halls, than ihose in use.. These importaut improvements, however, cannot be effected, unless a successful appeal can be made to individual or Legislative munificence. The Report of the Treasurer of the Trus tees exhibits a detailed statement of the re ceipts and expenditures during the collegiate i ear. It will be perceived that tho receipts somewhat exceed the expenditures. The amount of tuition fees has been greater dur ing the past, than in any preceding year, and greater than can reasonably be anticipa ted for the future. The Faculty are authorized, in all case3, where the applicant is a native of the State, sustains a fiir moral character, and possesses the requisite mental endowment, natural and acquired, to admit him into any class in the institution, without charge, either for tuition or room rent. The young men availed themselves of this liberal provision, during the past, and quite as great a number in each of the three pre ceding years. The privilege might be extended to a much greater number, but for the want of dormi tories. Thirty students were compelled, during the last session, to seek accommoda tion in the village. The propositiou of tho Trustees, which has been so long before tho public, to instruct gratuitously auy number of indigent young men, who are natives of tho State, and for whom dormitories may be pro vided, would seem to appeal, with a force not easily to be resisted, to those whose peculiar duty it is to provide instruction at low prices, and lo promote all useful learning at the Uni versity. I cannot close this communication without congratulating the General Assembly upon the high character which this institution has sustained, at home aud abroad, and the uni form and liberal support it has received, throughout almost tho entire period of its his tory.
