They, and necessarily the party they represent have : suffered ast; SDilaient to some extent at ; least by the dirt which has been thro wo and the ptn- - 4 nt sublie man avoids the aliirhteat an f roach to a' position thai I wfll expose I : The; very serious disturbances made by the "starving mechanics" in London are bat another indication of the dis tress Just now prevailing among work ingmen throughout the civilized world. We.feel the trouble . immediately here abouts less keenly than it is felt else where! because of the fact that ourconi parSttVely pparne population enables us, as 1 rule at least, to keep the wolf fro'ft thedoor, but we feel it very sensi bly still. Generally in this country the distress is very great and breaks into view through such difficulties as the riots in the Pennsylvania coke regions, the .violent protests against Chinese, cheap) labor in the West and the . various other; labor i troubles which arise every 'now and then to khe north of ' 08. The : , distress s : every where greatest among agricultural la borers, and the fact is due. we suppose, to thi r lipid increase in the number of labor-saving farm Implements. Agri culture languishes the world over, farm handa and the small farmers who find it impossible to make both ends meet flock into the to wns and cities and tire forced to taxe Violent measures in order to sus tain ilife. ;;: The situation in our : own ooinry ,we feel sensibly and we realize without difficulty that it is serious in deed! We Can guess what i is in Eng land from the constantly decreasing ex ports of breadstuff to that country from this;! inIrefand we know it is, as it has longbeenmdst wretched; in France it is little if at all better than in Eugland, notwUhstanding the wonderful thrift pf the Freiich, and in Germany it U.slight-ly- I better only because Soft: the wisdom . of Bismarck, . who, by means of the legislative aid he has been enabled to give the culture of the sugar beet; has made that a somewhat profita ble pursuit for bis; peopHe, cane sugar having been driven out of the European markets. - Elsewhere it is u better than in these leading countries of the globe, and 1 he question is, what is te be done abodt it The evil is of the gravest character.

" ':. '': V ' ' ; m m : ; -j , Wa ve indebted to the Tfdsbndub, an associatioh pf Louisville gentlemen who aire engaged in the laudable under taking of , gathering up historical frag 'nietS teiating to the settlement of Ken- tuckyVfor an interesting brochure, en ;titBd, 'r;The Wilderness Itoad,"' of which Mr. Thomas Speed is; the accom plished anthor. Kentucky was not oc cupied by Indian tribes, but was th favorite ' hunting ground of -the power ju nations living to the north and south Of pt respectively, and thus; jt was the scdhe of almost etNpstant Conflict And be ajefikri0wu in dully times as the "dark and bjoodr ground." V Thif Indian wars, from 1750 to 1763. checked' this ' extehsion 'of population in Pennsylvania to the westward and led tola 'strGant of itnmicratidai down the jvalleytof the Bine Ridge into Virginia jand North Carolina; and indeed there ws no- settlement beyond the Allegha nies until after the revolutionary warL when suddenly the' heart of. Kentucky Became me seat 01 a large popujation, aeparate'd by nundreds of miles of 'wild erness' and Of mountains' from the bor der communities of the Atlantic States. Seven years after the warKenluekv had a population of 73,000, which ten years later had swollen to two hundred r and itwferity thousand. 1 Thus three hundred miles; west of the mountains' nonulation isuddeniy gathered and civilization sud denly bloomed. How did these people get there?;!" With but few: exceptions iney went over vtne wilderness road. Hear, the site of the present' town of New; Berne, (just norh of SiirrV county, 3 jt) in t'uiasxi county, Va., t Uol yrd erected in 1858 Fort Chissel as 1 menace to the Cherokee Indians. Before that the line of immigration from Penn sylvania had come south through Mar' vvmcnester and OUuuton; and about the year 1750 settlers from Pattonsbufg, the point where this ronte crossett tne James river, located on New river, near where Ft Chissel was luilt a few; years later. It was this route that -the Moravians and the Germans and ocotcn-insri settlers took m com in e to oaiemr oausDury and otner points in western Carolina, and thia accounts for the wide ; spnee intervening between tnose settlemenu and the extension of the seaboard communities in theentral part of: the State. Along about 1768 settlement had been made 'on the Wj UxiftK across the mountains in North Carolina, and in 1771 Daniol Booue went on au exploring expedition to the 'dtftk and bloody ground." In 170, at the instance . of Col. ; Itichard lndcrsen, of North Carolina, who bad bought from j the Indians an im- ttase::. tract -of country ; south of the Ohiyr;. Boone led f a party - t i ' ijito me wiiaertiess to explore that tract.

Em igrauta from North Carolina, Virginia, Marylandr Pennsylvania and New Xork 4i alike met at Ft.

The picture so grapl ically portrayed of 'the sufferings and ditngers experienced by the pioneers and. first set tlers in Kentucky is not only interesting but instructive, since it illustrates the passion which; the men of tba early day had not for land but for "good land. It was the fertile soil of Kentucky that attracted them to those distant wilds. It is stated that during the year 1784 30,000 persons moved from '. Virginia and: North Carolina to Kentucky. The University and the Land Nerlp. Cor'. of the Naws and Observer. Chapel IIii.l, N: C.j Feb. 6. Vour1 correspondent "X" raises some new" points which require explanation. Ho says f 'some of the friends of the University seem to think that the estab lishment of an industrial school at Ra leigh will injure the University." I think he is mistaken I know of no such opinion. I am not so timid about the position of the University ai to stand in the way of an educational movement because possibly at some future time soma man, now unknown, may seek to induce a diversion of our funds to the new institution. , There is room for all Let us advance in all lawful methods the thirst for knowledge. Let us train the mind and the heart and the hand. All such movements will help the Uni versity. . i-I ain grateful to X for his humorous conrplimentA to me for iny services-in securing the land grant for the Univer sity. I regret, however, to be com pelled to decline them. Hi knowledge of; the history of the State nnd of the provisions of the law which; ho inter prets and the work bf the University under it, are not -in proportion to the elegance of his stvlo and the delicacy of his sarcasm. Judging by the in ternal evidence of his article I conclude that be has neither read the act which he;is discussing nor enquired into its administration by the University. . In the first place he may be surprised to learn that the land grant was donated to tbe-UnivWsky March 11. 1867, over nine years beforeI became its president, in good old Gov. b wain's time . i In the next place Mr. X wrongly quotes from the land grant ait of -18rj2. H says thej 'agricultural college" has been running for years on a technicality, without even the seemingly necessary '"condition precedent" of a farm wfiere on, to teach the boya "practical agriculture."- He says that he quotes the lan guage of the act. That is, X asserts that the University is bound by the act of Congress, or by the act of our general assembly of "1867, to tcaeh "practical agriculture,' and that a farm is a con dition precedent to such teaching. 1 Now, Mr. Editor, I am an old-fash- toned man, When I ani ealled to act under a statute 1 1 go, not to street rumor, nor common opinion, nor to the grumblings : of disappointed men, nor eyen to the unerring columns of news papers, secular or religious, nor to the title Of the .statute (except in .case 0 doubt as to its meaning), but as chief justices Kufhn, Saah and Pearson and judges Battle, Manly and Reade taught me, as Blackstonie and Kent and all the fathers of J the law taught I me, to the wordsj of the statute. M I have the larfd grant act of 1862, donating the seript, before me. I have the act of assembly of March, 1867 transferring it tb the University, before toe. The words "practical agricul ture" are not in either act. There is no obligation in either to give instruction : in 'practical agriculture" or in practical mechanics. T I ere is no obligation to buy a farm. With the permission of the general assemblv ten per cent pf the . proceeds may be ex pended for the purchase of lands for sites as experimental larms, but it is fur ther provided that "no portion of said tuna, or interest thereon, shall be ap plied, directly or indirectly, under any pretence wnateyer, to tne purchase, erection, preservation or repair of any building or buildings.'! How then is the fund to be expended? section 4 answers the question.' "The honeys arising from the pale of the scrip shall be invested in safe stocks yielding not leas than nve per cent per annum, and shall constitute a nerbetual fund. the capital of which" (except the ten per cent above! mentioned) "shall re main forever undiminished, and the in- mterest of which shall be inviolably ap propriated by ; each State which mav taxe ana claim tne benefit Of this act, to 1 . a the endowment, support land mainte nance of at least one college, where the leading object shall be. without ex eluding - other scientific and clas sical studies, and including military tac- ucs, to teacn such branches of learning as are related to' agriculture and the mechanical arts! in suck manner as the legislature of the States may respect iyely prescribe,' in order , to promote the liberal and nractical edacat ion of t.hft industrial classes in the! several Dursuits .nu proiessions of life." . 1 . i . ... .- . , When J was chosen president of the University in 1876 I addressed myself to the study 4f this act: and of the act ofasseuiblyof 1807, which ordered us to Carry it into effect. With the permission jof the trustees: I went' North and in spected institutions having the . land grants. After my return the faculty ioruiuiatea thoir ideas' of their duties under the acts I nublished these in the newfhnocrs of the dav and renorted them to ihe board of trustees and to the general assembly. The latter body has the nnwer tii nhnncrn dnr nrnnnmnui . - r . .. o t 6 '""v, put by not objecting they have impliedly ratified it. :' The above Quoted section shows lat itat no part f the prinbipal or 'interest Cau be used for the erection of barns, iUbles,BUoB,grain-houser,or ather farm or garden buildings, ft is clear, I thitk, that no part of the fund can he ukpA for bu vine horses or cattle nH m.. chiney, because 2nd, all the interest must be devoted tb teaching. 1 3. To teaching what? Not nraetieal agriculture, nbt ' tttuaJL plougting or hoeinar, or driving planes or wieldina? ' wa, vuf ;w kvatmwK wawflPe PI Cftrn 4. What branches of learning ? Clas sical studies are to be taught; other sci entific studies are to be taught, but specially are to be teughtf the "ibraYrcBes of learning relating to agriculture and the mechanic arts. 5. The trustees of the'University have established this agricultural and me chanical college and I am president of it. As such 1 have served as a mem ber of the board of agriculture froul 1877 to the present day, without ques tion by any member of the board, or any member Of the 'legislative, executive or judicial branches of the government. 6. The University is givingtbomurh instruction in the branches relating o agriculture and the mechanic arts. We unite the fullest examination. W tcach by lectures in laboratories, by dissection of animals, by feeding pi nt" in Doxes, ty study of nature in tne n. -Id, the anatomy and physiology of farm stock, principles of breedings study of insects' injurious' to crops, the nature and cultivation of grasses and forage crops, care of orchards, transplanting, growth of agricultural plants as affected by fer tilizers, &o. We teach economical geology, nature of soils how affected by drainage, manuring, &c; about phos phates and other mineral manures; about the miaerak of the State and how to determine them. We teach surveying, leveling, draughting, book-keeping, commercial arithmetic, meteorology, ag ricultural chemistry, including qualita tive and quantitative analyses of soils and fertilizers; industrial chem- idvi y 9 auv uuiu aud uiauuiWVUlC Ul IliC Reading articles used in everyday life. ur ..t . j i.ii.. 1 tt c wwu ui 111,1x1 g uu . webniiurgy ana next fall will have the best facilities for a large, new laboratory for these de partments as well as for general and ap plied chemistry. In fact if there is any branch of learning relating specially to agriculture and the mechanic, arts in which we do not give instruction, I would like to hear of it in order that we may supply the deficiency. The classics German and French the Eng lish branched and "other scientific studies" have been largely extended and are thoroughly taught. j . Wherever in similar institution farms have been stocked and workshops pro vided, the money for the purpose has been supplied by the State and by coun ties,' towns and individuals. Mississippi gave about $200,000" to her 'agricultural college, and votes over $20,000 a year besides the interest of the land grant ; Virginia added Over $90,000; Missouri about $100,000; Ezra Cornell $500, 000; Massachusetts $235,000, and soon with many other States. ; The foregoing observations will show .that neither i I nor my associates have been latitudinarian in our interpreta tion of the law.! The University has thn land (about 600 acres) for Ian "experi mental iarm, to be used whenever funds are nravided for the nnmns r , ; r, r .- Mr. Editor, I have heretofore given! my construction of the industrial school; act. I ask you again to publish it. And tfyen I beg your intelligent-readers to say whether a subscription pf $8,600 by Raleigh was sufficient to authorise the board to locate' the school there, trust ing to the State to supply all the funds beyond this -amount needed for build- ings, j machinery, tools, steam engine teachers, &c. Let him say 'also whethe r: the general; assembly meant to giv Raleigh joint management of au institu tion, to be established almost : I together out of State money, as i wouU ) the case" if the! location is secured at.tiOO. ; 1 he suggestion that the board posti poned the matter in order to locate thi Bchool on a greater scale at the Univers ity is, I am sure, utterly untrue as to each member of the board. It is the angry utterance of disappointment whicfi always enrages some minds to the sinful folly of imputing bad motives to the authors of their discomfiture. . The hoard is made of stuff too stern to be moved by such unfounded railings X has gone far beyond "able jurist" and myself in his new observation at the Centennial, He has seen : interminable lengths of the great city "built and fed by industrial education." Our un taught eyes; were too dim, " If he will rub his eyes again he will see truly that tbo workmen who erected those build ings were never trained in any indus trial school..
