have formed not only erroneous but, perhaps, in

The caption of the Acts of the lte Session of
ilic legislature were placed in our hands a few
days ago. On examination, wc find an act in
corporating a Western College. It is with feel
ings of pride and exultation, that we have it in
our power to announce to the puhlic this impor
tant legislative act. F.very Western Carolinian,
whose liosom glows with patriotic feelings, and!
who feci anxious lo see the Iw-nign rays of
knowledge widely disseminated among the youth
of our Western Hills, must join w ith us in ten
dering thanks to those who achieved this iinor
tant object.
It in true, that this is an act of incorporation
merely no funds arc granted ; yet it swells in
importance .when viewed in connexion withother
objects now in contemplation.
A college has long been wanted in the West
ern section of North-Carolina. We now have a
charter ; and the next step to be taken is, to pro
cure lunds for the buildings, t-c. We are cer
tain that there is wealth sufficient in this part of
the state to endow a college magnificently ; and
we trust that there will not be wanting a willing
ness to contribute lilcrally towards an institution
so important, not only to the present but to suc
ceeding generations.
We earnestly recommend to the western citi
zens to give their surplus fundi to the Trustees
of the Western College, rather than bestow them
so liberally on distant institutions, as they have
heretofore done. Immense sums of money have
of late years been sent fiom this state, for the
endowment of college aii. or seven hundred
miles north-cast of us! The current must now
turn. Our own institutions demand our aid, in
preference to those of any other part of the world.
Let us, therefore, use all honest means to elevate
the character of North-Carolina. Let it not again
be said, that wc send our money off to endow
northern or eastern colleges, and shamefully
neglect our own. This is miserable policy ; and
directly calculated to prevent our state from as
suming that standing in the national compact
which she is entitled to.
Before closing this communication, we cannot,
consistently with our feelings, omit to enter our
cordial disapprobation of many of the acts of the
Ocncral Assembly at its late session. It is un
necessary to point out the objectionable acts, as
this can very easily be done by every person of
common understanding.

As parents and guardians arc drs'iroti'. that their chil
dren' expenses may br so managed, as if the money had
actually all pesscd through their ow n hands, he therefore!
considers the follow ing mctliod of keeping their arcount
will aiikwer the purpose:
Those who come to (hi place w-ll provided with
clothes will not require any additional one for some
time. Ilowtter, when they write home, it is very easy
to let their parent know what they require, and an an
swer to said letter will contain an order for said article,
if their pan-tit think it necessary.
-"The -iwxt time . they write, home,- they will mention
wlrst ueh articles cost, whieh will enable their parent
not only lo know what article their children get, but
w hat they cost them. It w ill, at the arhe time, with, the
assistance of the Tutoresses, habituate the children to
keeping their own accounts, which will be very essential
to them dnring life, and the improvement they may mates
in this little business will be very gratifting to their pi
rent. It is tmncccsary for the young ladies to trouble their
parents w ith the purchase of boot s, quills ink, paper,
St.c. as what the Academy exercises require must be had.
It iu only m et ssary to include them w ith the cost of
other hi tides o that they may be acquainted w ith every
expense.
He recollects, some years ago, of having two young1
ladies at the Salem Academy; at that time Mr. Kramet
tended it ; he wrote to the subscriber frequently, anl
each letter contained a statement of the young ladict
accounts, with what additional articles they might have
had since he wrote the last: Therefore, by having refer
c nee to his last letter, ft view was had of their accounts1
to that time. This led the subscriber to the above meth
od, with what he considers a little amendment.
Those little attentions, although apparently of but lit
tle impoit-in( e, when carefully attended to may prove to
be of considerable advantage to the jounjj laJic s, and to
the wilfare of the Academy.
The Tnihte are nicely attentive to the choice of
their Tutoresses and as nicely attentive to the rare of the
young ladies; ami in ord:r1hat the business of the Acad
emy may go on w ith success thev must h as attentive
to the young ladies expenses, which it is believed tho
above mclliod Will regulate. JOHN FCLTON.
