Departed this life, on the 2d instant, ROBERT W.
LONG, aged 27 years.
It would be a dereliction of duty to permit th,e death'
of our friend to pass unnoticed', and to leave the mem
ory of his life and virtues to the frail and transitory re
collections of his contemporaries, though these will be
ever cherished in a few faithful hearts, yet they demand
a more public testimonial, and a more extended interest.
Heas born, reared and educated in Salisbury, and
no one in his youth gave promise of greater usefulness.
Beloved-by his teachers for1 his docility and obedience,
and his Hchoohpatea for his frank and generous bearing,
his yoifthjwas as bright and joyous' as a Spring morn
ing. He received a good English Education, intended
to fithim at an early age for the practical duties of life.
He entered the store of Mr. Thomas L. CoWan, as a:
clf rk art he early age of 14 years, and there applied him
self assiduously to the discharge of his duties. By his
diligence and vigilant attention to the interest of his
employers, he gained their conhdonce and esteem, and
by his conciliatory manners, which endeared hjm to all
classes, he increased their business. At thei age of
twenty-one he had inspired his employers with such a
confidence in his energy, faithfulness and business hab
its that he vasadmitted into the firm as a partner.
Shortly afterwards, the Mexican war broke out, and at
the call of the President of the United States for vol
unteers, thousands eagerly proffered their services to
their country. The martial spirit of Robert W Lonjj,
nourished from his infancy, by reading the deeds of the.
most celebrated of ancient and modern heroes, though
long smothered, could no longer bear restraint. Ho
threw aside the yardstick and ledger, and buckled on his
sword. He was among the first to volunteer in the
company raised in Rowan, and was elected its first Lieu
tenant. It is well known that owing to a series of un
fortunate circumstances, this company disbanded, in
spite of the active exertions and violent protestations
of young I-iong and a few other gallant spirits. 1 In this
mortifying result, he had no agency, and no stain rest
ed on It's unspotted character for this unpleasant event.

gratifying his patriotic and martial aspirations, but set out
for Mexico, without even the pecuniary means 01 reach
ing that country, intending to fight for his country in the
ranks, as a private, if he could get no higher grade.
The feebleness of his health, and the entreaties of hia
relatives, induced him to return and finally to abandon
his purpose.
After his restoration to health, impelled by his active
and restless spirit, he sought in the western country the
means of bettering his fortunes. Here he lead an ad
venturous life, the exposure and hardship incident to
which impaired his health, and implanted in his consti
tution the seeds of the fatal disease to which he fell a
victim. He returned to his friends and home, and died
in the arms of a mother who prized her noble boy as th
light of her existence, and had indulged the fond hope
that he would be the prop of her old age and the solace
of her declining years. lint Providence had otherwise
decreed, and submission to the divine will is the cardinal
virtue of a christian.
His distinguishing trait of character was his generous
and self-sacrificing spirit, and entire freedom from sel

friends which ever clung to him in all the trials of his
not uneventful life. Liberal to a fault, his purse was ever

HE next session of this Institution ivii.L begin at
9 o'clock, A. M., o.v the last Wednesday of
Jcly. It is extremely desirable that all the pupils shall
be present at the selection of rooms, and 'the classifica
tion of the scholars, which will take place atthat:ime.
The College will be provided with a competent corps
of Teachers, and many improvements made in the Do
mestic arrangements.
The Departments of the Ordinary English Course,
Mathematics, Natural Sciences, Ancient and Modern
Languages, are under the immediate inspection of the
President, who also gives instruction in tome of these
branches. He is aided by a Professor and three La
dies"; The Department of Music is committed to Professor
Kern, whose reputation gives every guarantee that it
will be managed with ability. He is assisted by two
experienced l idies.
For the acquisition of the elegant accomplishment of
Oil-Painting, the College at present affords superior ad
vantages. There is probably, no where in North Car
olina a gallery of paintings equal in beauty of execu
tion to that produced by the pupils during the last year, i
and exhibited at Commencement. ;
The' Domestic Department is under the management I
of Thomas C. Blake, Esq , and his Lady, late of Kay
etteville. Mr. and Mrs. Blake have reared a family of
daughters and have thus large recommendations to the
confidence of the community. 1
The Board of Trustees, with a liberality becoming j
those who have charge of so flourishing an Institution,
have determined to add immediately to their present
noble edifice, a building which will give such room that
more quietness and better discipline and instruction can
be secured. The pupils will not be crowded in the dor
mitories. The Trustees will proceed also to enlarge
and beautify the grounds, and introduce such a system
of exercise as will promote the he;ilih of the pupils
There is perhaps no healthier place in North Caroli
na or Virginia than Greensboro'. The inhabitants in
the Town are remarkable for general morality and in
dustry ; the location of the College surpasses that of
any Institution which the undersigned has ever visited,
and he has seen all t'.iose of most note in the country ;
and the situation in the central part of the State makes
it easy of access. i
Attention is paid to t!ie manners of the pupils, and
; every accomplishment desirable for a young lady to ac
! quire, may be found here. While the ornamental
! branches are cultivated, they are not mi-ie to constitute
! the staple of the education which we endeavor 10 im

Here is a chance. Capitalists would also do well to
look this way. I need a little help to carry on more suc
cessfully , the enterprises in which I am engaged and on
which I propose to enter. I am steadily progressing,
however, though slowly , with my original schemes, to
wit: the erection of Factories for spinning cotton and
wool, and for calico priming. But as I advance the
prospect opens up, and invites to larger and more fruitful
fields. This location for manufacturing purposes and for
a Town, is very favorable. It is near enough to the
great Central Rail Road, and in a very healthy region of
Country. I will sell lots privately on the most favorable
i terms to suit purchasers. The water power on the
outh bagle 1 ract, is immense, and capatue ot driving
almost any amount of Machinery. Early applications
either for lots or an interest in the pcesent or proposed
enterprises will receive the most favorable offers.

made use of, is a discovery original with us. The fol
lowing unsolicited notice from the Grernshoro Patriot,
is a just tribute to the merits of the new discovery :
"SUPERIOR DAGUERREOTYPES."
" It has been the prime fault of ill the daguerreo
type pictures we have heretofre seen, that the back
ground presents a glossy appearance, disagreeable to the
eye, and rendering the picture difficult to be seen dis
tinctly except in certain points of view. But within the
last few days we have sen several specimens of a great
improvement in this particular, as practiced by Dr.
Weeks, who has been lor nearly three months pursuing
the art in this place. He is producing picture with the
back ground deadened to a creamy or jearl-like ap
pearance, the glossy or reflecting quality of which! is
almost entirely destroyed. The consequence is, that
the picture itself stands out, well defined in out-hue,
and almost as distinct in appearance as if painted bfl
white paper or irory." fJune 5, 18513
