T, F. Lee, R. S. Tucker, W. W. White. Albert Johnson, C D. Heartt, Handy Lockhart and John Nichols, Directors, were present. The rrain object of the meeting was to pas3 upon bid3 for the erection ol the building to be used as the colored department ot the Institution. The said building is to be erected on the corner of Lenoir and Blood worth streets. There were some half a dozen bidders. Some bids were for the whole work, while others were only for a por tion ot it. The contract lor the brick and carpentering work was awarded to Messrs. Betts, Allen, & Co. The tin work was given to J. C. Brewster. On account ol the smallness of the appro pnation it'wus agreed not to enter into any contract ior the painting at present ilie work upon the building win be pushed lorward vigorously, and the I)i rectors hope to have it ready lor occu pation early in September. The build ing will be brick, three stories high including the basement. 1 he main portion will be 70x24 with a T 45 feet square. In the basement ot the main building will be a dining room 22x36 1 2, a kitchen 16x22 1-2, and store lOx 19. Under the T will be servants' room. laundry and two bathing' rooms, each 16x20. On the first floor above base ment will be located a chapel 23x27, a business office 15x22, and Supervisor's office 12x22. In the T there will four ECn00i rooms, eaoh 16x20.

From the Raleigh Register and North Carolina Gazette, June 23, 1831, we take the following account of the des truction of the old Capitol : "Awful Conflagration, ! It is our pain ful and melancholy duty again to an nounce to the public, another appalling instance of loss by fire, which will be deeply felt and lamented by every indi vidual in tur State. It is nothing less than the total destruction of the Capitol of the State, located in this city! Of that noble edtice, with its splend'd decorations, nothing now remains but the blackened walls and smouldering rums! The State Library is also en tirely consumed, and the statue of Washington, that proud monument of national gratitude, which was our pride and glory, is so mitigated and defaced, that none behold it but with mournlul feelings, and the conviction involunta rily forces itself upon their minds that the loss is one which cannot be repaired. The most active exertions were made to rescue this chef d'ouvre of Canova from the ravages ot the devouring ele ment, nor were they desisted from until the danger became imminent. The alarm was given about 7 o'clock on Tuesday morning, and It was pres ently evident that all attempts to ex tinguish the fire would proye per fectly lruitless. The efforts of the by standers were then directed towards the protection of the Public Offices on the square, and the adjacent private buil dings, and the preservation of the offi cial archives. We are happy to add, that none of the former were injured, and that the latter, including the Leg lative records, were all sayed. The beautiful grove of oaks, of which the capitol was the centre ornament, did more towardsstayingthe progress of the flames than any human effort, and in culcates most torcibly the propriety ol cultivating shade trees in cities, on the score of the security from fire alone.to say nothing of other considerations. Seldom has the eye witnessed so avvful.a specta cle as this yast building in one concen trated blaze, streaming from every win dow and a vast column from the roof, forming altogether a scene not ade quately to be described. The origin of the fire is not certainly known, but we believe the general im pression is, that it was the result ,1 most culpable carelessness on the part of a mm who had been employed to assist in soldering the new zinc roof, as he was seen that morning carrying up a coal of lire between two shingles considerably ignited, a spark liom which, in all probability, lell amongst some .combustible matter between the root and ceiling, which took fire while the hands were at breakfast. , Considering the rapidity with which the fire progressed, it is an alleviating circumstance that all the public papers were all secured. Besides the papers of the clerks ot the two Houses : of' the Legislature, and those of the Comptrol ler and of the clerk of the Supreme Court, the fine copy of Stewart's Paint ing of the Father of our Country, and some articles of lurniture of the Legis lative l. hambers were preset ved from the flames. It will be seen from the accompany ing resolution, that the congregation and pew-holders of the Presbyterian Church, with laudable public spirit, have tendered to the Governor the use of their buildings for the temporary accommodation ot the Legislature. 'Raleigh, 21st June, 1831. At a meeting of the Congregation and Pew-holders of the Presbyterian church in this city, the Rev. William Mc Pheeters was called to the Chair, and H. M. Miller, Esq , was requested to act as Secretary. The meeting taking into considera tion the very distressing calamity with which the city ol Raleigh, and the State generally, has this day been visited in the destruction, by fare, of that noble edifice, the State House, which was the pride and ornament of the State, adopted unanimously, the following resolution : Resolved, That they do hereby re- spectully offer to his Excellency, the Governor of North Carolina, and through him to the General Assembly of the State, this Church with the ses sion house attached, as a temporary ac commodation for holding the sessions of that honorable body until a more con venient and permanent building shall be provided. Resolved- That should any alteration in said church be deemed advisable for the better accommodation of the mem bers of the Assembly, that they do here by allow and authorize said alteration to be made. - y Rtsolved, That a copy of the forego ing resolutions, signed by the Chair man and countersigned by the Secre tary, he handed to his Excellency, the Governor. , William McPiieeters, Ch'm. II. M. Miller, Secretary. We also learn that the use of the Session House of the Presbyterian church has been politely offered to the Judges and Bar of the Supreme Court at present in session, and the offer has beeu thankfully accepted. ' In the evening of the day on which the conflagration took place, his Excel lency, the Governor, caused an examin ation to be made of Johu M.-Mason, John Bell and William (an apprentice of Mason) persons who had been at work on the roof of the Capitol that morning, soldering the heads of nails which fastened down the zinc in order if possible, to come at the origin ot tl e fire. No one, it is believed, who heard thi3 examination, can doubt that. the destruction which has taken place, was caused by the careless use of fire by said workmen between five and seven o'clock that morning." In its next issue the Register says fur ther : The opinion then expressed, as to the origin ot the hre, is still entertained, though there is some doubt whether it was communicated by a spark from the burning shingles which were proved to haye been carried uprn the roof that morning, or was caused .by the pot used for preparing the solder having become so heated as to melt the zinc, and there with ignite the wooden sheeting which the top ot the house was covered. From one of these causes it must have proceeded. The building was entirely consumed in about two hours from the period at which the alarm was given. The walls were left standing, but a part ot them have since tumbled down. Indeed such seems to have been their original precarious construction, that many believe, had not the Capitol been burnt they woutpf at no distant day have given awajf from the pressure of their own weight, and perhaps have involved a serious lsoes of human life in this fall. Since the fire, tftcrts have been made, and with success, to exhume the frag ments of the statue, which were broken off by the tailing timbers and buried beneath the ruins. We are p'.eased to add, that the head ha3 been recovered, having received but slight injury ; also one arm and one leg are nearly perfect. The remaining portion of the statue ex hibits, however,, .such, a tendency to crumble, that we lear its disjecta membra can never again be made to adhere. Nothing was saved from the Library, nor could any attempt lor that purpose be made, by reason of the suffocating smoke which filled the room. It was in its infancy, and the loss can easily be repaired with one or two exceptions. We allude to the collection of our old Legislature Journals, brought down in almost unbroken succession from - the year 1715, to the -present day. Lawson's History of the State, valuable only how ever, lor its antiquity, was also burnt. This is a very thin quorto, which was purchased by the State at the sale of a private library, a few years since for about $70. Our public officers, particularly the Secretary of State and Comptroller, have an Herculean task to perform in reducing to order the chaotic con fusion into which their papers have been thrown. The documents belong ing to the Clerks of the two Houses and some of the Comptroller's papers are mixed with those of the Secretary ot State; the attempt therefore, to hunt up at present any particular record, would be merely as hopeless a task as to look tor a needle in a hay stack. Upon a review of all the circumstan ces connected with t li 13 unfortunate af fair, it is no more than an act ot justice in us to say, that so far as we have had an opportunity of consulting public opinion, the sympathy of the communi ty is strongly elisted in behalf of the enterprising conductor, Mr. Bragg. The entire work would have been fin ished the day aftar the accident hap pened, and his contract have been fully complied with. Indeed, he had done all that it was h's peculiar province to superintend, ten days before, and was only waiting to have the zinc dails sol dered to give up the work to the Com missioners. Such a desire. has been discovered amongst the numerous individuals who have visited the ruins, t& oftain pieces of the Statue for preservation, that it has been found necessary to enclose ir, so as to prevent further mutilation." A Sad Affair. We give beloA'the following particulars of a very sad af lair which occurred in Atlanta, Ga., on the lGth inst. The Mr. Jones alluded to is, from what we can gather from the Petersburg, Va , and other papers, the same gentleman who recently conducted a drug business in this city in copartnership with Mr. Doepp, though the initials are given wrong. Mr. Jones has many warm friends in this city, who will sin cerely regret to hear of the. great ca lamity which has befallen him. The Atlanta Herald of the 16th Inst, says : "About nine o'clock last night Atlanta was startled by a rumor that two or three men had been pois oned by mistake at Heard, Craig & Co.'s drug store, and that they were dying or dead. Upon inves tigation, we found that yesterday about half-past five o'clock. Dr. J. W. Craig and Judge Thomas Pullum, two mem bers ot the firm of Heard, Craig & Co., had gone into the cellar ot their store to take an evening toddy, Judge Pull mun complaining that he was feeling unwell. When they reached the cellar, Mr. J. F. Jones the head pharmaceutist, who was working down in the labora tory, proposed to fix them up "an extra nice drink." They consented to his proposition, and chatted away easily until he announced that the punch was ready. They then partook of it, and were very much pieaseu, ur. iraig drinking more heartily than Judge Pullum. They then returned up stairs, and in about thirty minutes discovered, irom violent symptoms, that something was wrong with them. They ascribed it to the drinks they had taken, and upon investigation found that by mistake a large quantity of aconite, a most fatal poison, had been mixed in their toddy. The symptoms increased in violence, nothing appearing to give relief, until at half'past nioe o'clock. Dr. Craig died in great agony, leaving Judge Pullum barely hovering between life and death. Dr. Craig was poisoned at half-past five, and died precisely at half-past nine. He had a very hard death, indeed, screaming all the time as it in iutensa agony, and frothing at the mouth plen tifully. His eyes were very much dilated, and every nerve seemed strung up al most to snapping. He seemed to be unconscious of everything around him, and kept shrieking, Oh ! what a hor rible death to die what a terrible death 1' At one time he was conscious, I think. He begged very piteousiy for his mother kept calling 'Mother V and saying. I want to see hei I am going to die!" W. H. Barnes, Esq. We are grati fied to learn that this gentleman, Past Grand Master of the Grand Lodge ot I, O. O. F., of Georgia, now editor of the Heart and Hind in Xsew lork City, will deliver his lecture, " Entertaining an Audience," in this on the evening ot the 21st prox., at Tucker Hall. It was first though that Mr. Barnes could not visit m but we are glad to know now that he will be wtih us at the tim above mentioned. Set together by the ears Sheaves of wne&t. Tub Good Templars.
