Our Capitol (No. 2). As stated in
our previous article, the first Capitol
wa3 burned on the 21st June, 1831. Dr.
Fab. J. Haywood, has a painting of
that building from the brush ot Prof
Marling, who, in his day, occupied the
same position at .the head of that art
in this State that W. G- Brown of our
city does in our time.
With the old Capitol was destroyed
the State Library and the marble statne
of Washington, by Canova, of which
we will speak hereafter. .
Immediately on the destruction of the
Capitol, the Presbyterians of the city
tendered the use ol their church for the
use of the Legislature, aDd proposed
that the House of Commons should oc4
.cupy the church, and the Senate the'
Sessionroom. Gov. Stokes declined
the proffer of the-Presbyterian, which
toe said reflected "great credic upon
their liberality," and moved his laiuJV
i?,ut of the Governor's "Mansion to make
room for tins General Assembly, which
inet in that, building in November,
1831. -
A Question 4ii ose whether that build
ing was within tbe limits of the city of
Raleigh,' (the constitution requiring the
Assembly to meet in tho pity) and Judge
B a well, ot Wake, and Jue Toomcr, ol
Cumberland, were appointed a commit-"
tee to ascertain and report the facts.
! In reference to the burning of the old
Capitol, Gov. Stokes said :
"With respect to the loss of the
building itself, it U my opinion, forti-
ned by that ot better iuclres that, un
der the circumstances, it is not to be
considered as a public, calamity. Such
were the defects in the construction of
the o d walk, erected in 1794, that it is
very probable that a part of the build-
ing would have fallen in a lew years,
and perhaps caused the death of many
of the assembled Representatives."
Judge fceawell, ot Wake, had been
electeti a Senator that year with a view
of retaining the Capitol at Raleigh and
it is due to his heiculean tliorts that the
Capitol was retained here.. The people
of Cumbeiland were anxious to have
the Ctipitol at Fayetteville, and elected
Judge l oonier to the Senate, especially
for that purpose. Ihe Legislature was
about equally divided between the
places, and the Citizens of Raleiyh, es
pecially the ladies, brought every in
fluence to bear on the doubtlul members.
Balls, dinners, suppers and parties were
the order of the day and the night.
these influences had the desired ttlect,
and the bill to le-buiid the Capitol ou
the present site passed by one vote.
Judge Seawell, with all his lDauence,
omv succeeded m securing an appro
priation ot $50,000 at the session of
1S32, to re-build the Capitol.
The total cost of the building was
$531,674.40. , The cost of the iron lence
enclosing the Capitol square was $12,
000. The statue of Washington was
purchased eiuring Gov. Bragg's admin
istration and cost $11,972.94.
The plans of the present Capitol
were elrawn in Philadelphia. The assis
tant architects were Wm. Drummond
and David Pat ton
John Steele, (who married a Miss
Royster of this city,) and Alexander
Muir.-on were the foremen who superin
ted the rock-work. A Mr. Steward, a
Scotchman, superintended the masonry.
A tram railway track was laid from
Union Square to the rock quarry, under
the superintendence of our friend Wil
liam White (late postmaster of this
city,") who was afterwards the Superin
tendent of the. Road. The cars and
coach were buiit by Col. John R. liar
risou. The coach, which was the first
ever built in the State, it not in the.
South, was destroyed by fire in Ihos. I
R. Cobb a coach shop, which stood n
the site now occupied by the North
Carolina bookstore.
The elm trees on the east and west of
the statue of Washington were planted
by Win. Robards, ot Granville, county
while he was State Treasurer.
While the Capitol was buildirg the
Legialiture continued tD meet in the
Governor's Mansion until the inaugura-
lion of Governor Dudiev. Governor
Speight was a bachelor, and did not
desire to reside in the mansion, but
Governor Dudley, the fiist Governor of
North Carolina elected -.'by the people,
haviog a taniilv, occupied the mansion,
and the General Assembly met or a
time in the Tien. Smith building,
corner of Fayetteville and Hargett
street3, now occupied by John Nichols
& Co. as a priming establishment.
Art amusing incitteut has been re-
ated to us iu connection with the meet-
ro of the General Assembly iu this
mild'mg. The members were mucn
pressed lor room, and many persons
were present as candidates lor clerks,
tloorkeepers, occ. Ditrmg tho conlu-
sion iucident to the meeting, a dog
came in. and made himself generally ob-
noxious. Old Thomas Anderson, oi
Hillsboro. who was a candidate for
doorkeeper, finally caught up the
dog and threw him out ot the window.
The meinbeis were so much pleased at
the act, that they immcdiatcly'elected
Mr. Auderson dooi keeper.
In an article which we published
vesterday, the Hillsboro' liecorder c
counted for thevcrumbling of the pave
ment stones, near the south entrance,
by saying it was in consequence of grease
spilt thereon ou the occasion of the
celebration ot the completion ot. the
Capitol, and the subsequent attempt to
remove it by the use of quick-lime. We
think our friend is mistaken in this.
We have been assured by a number of
persons wno were engaged on me
Capitol, that the lime and cement were
stoied in said passage during the time
the building was in course of erection,
and the crumbling was caused
by the action ot the lime spilled,
and allowed to remain on the paveuieot.
The late Thomas J. Judkins, of Warren,
who was a member of the House ot
Commons during the construction ot
the Capitol, .told us the pavement stones
alluded to were previously used in the
i i .i
old Capitol and that they had crum
bled ou account of the action of the
fire- -

Meeting of the Executive Com
mittee of the State Agricultural
Society Work Upon the Buildings
to be Commenced at an Early Day.
-The Executive Committee of the
ttate Agricultural Society met yester
day ' .morning. President Holt being
present witn tne Uommittee. it was
ascertained that the subscriptions in
the c.ty of Raleigh had reached some-
thing over $9,000, while the Soliciting
Committees still at work were confident
the sum would reach $10,000 or more in
a lew davs, anel the Committee
resolved to procee I at once iu
the arduous duties that will now
I devolve' upon them' in -'carrying out
the piatis proposed. 1 he rSuilding
Committee will at once estimate the
cost ot the proposed improvements, and
the Executive Committee will meet
operations in earnest, and the citizens
ot Raleigh may rest assured that no
effort on the part of the Committee will
be spared to make the Fair Grounds
all they should be and an ornament to
Uthe city and to ihe State, reflecting
great credit upon the liberality ot those
who have come forward and
subscribed the amount needed to
carry on the good work. A
portion ol the money suoscriued will
be needed at once to defray expenses
already incurred upon the grounds.
The enclosure is about completed, and

Isjuncted. Yesterday a writ of in
junction was sued out by the State au
thorities, before Judge Watts, at Cham
bers, iu this city, to prevent the man
agement of the N. C. R. R. to alter the
gauge of the road between Greensboro
and Charlotte. We learn that the writ
was served upon Col. Buford, President
of the Richmond & Danville Ri R., W.
II. Green, Master of Transportation of
the N. C. R. R., end other officers and
employees of the present management.
Jhe plan was to change the guage in
a day or two, but now the matter will
doubtless have to be litigated befor it
can be carried into effect.
The change of guage was designed to
make the N. C. R. R. a part and parcel
of the R. & D. R. R. in order that freight
and passengers might be run through
from. Richmond without change at
Greensboro, thus lopping off the eastern
end of theN. C. R. R.
