In 1111, the (General Assembly ap
pointed Henry I'otter. Henry Seaewell,
William Hinlon and William Pceice mm
n'.lssioiit rs t, i rei t on the public lands,
near the city of Raleigh, a convenient

to lay oil, ami In ni the srnle of lot No.
131, reierreil to the resilience at suc
n'ssive periods of Governors Turner,
Alexander, Williams, Stoue, Smith and
Hawkins.
The site selected for the new guberna
torial residence, in con.iin u parlance, the
pajate, was mar the terminus of Fay
etievlile street, directly South of and
fronting the Capitol, and just beyond
the Southern 'boundry of the city. The
edifice was copleted during Governor
Miller's admiiiiistralion front 1813 to
ISIti, and be was the first occupant.
In lSllt, Duncan Cameron, John
Winslow, Joseph Gales, William lvo
bards and Henry rotter were authorized
to sell all or any part of the land
purchased mf J.h-1 Lane, with the excei
tion of the Stone Quarry, in lots to suit
punihtisers.
Ihe Governor was authorial from the
proceeds of the sale to improve the
State House under the direction of the
State Architect, and in conformity with
a plan which he bad prepared and sub
mitted to the General Asisenitdy.
The old State House, which is believ
ed to have been constructed from the
net ptocci! of the smles of city lots
in 171)2. wtis described by a writer of
tlie time as a huge misshapen pile.
In form it was substantially, so far as
the body of the building was concerned,
though on a smaller scale, very similar
to the present edifice. It was divided
by the broad passages on the ground
floor, from North to South and from
East to West, intersecting in the centre
at right angles. The offices of the Sec
retary, Public Treasurer and Comptroll
er were on the lower floor. The Senate
Chamber and Hall of the House of
Commons, with the offices appntennm,
a'bove as nt present. Tlie Executive of
fice as has been stated was contiguous
to the palatial residence.

It was my lot mi th" Hl.-t of .Inn.',
1S31, to sun 1 1 a hflili-s s- i-.-t.it..,',
when that noble edifice ad.it m d with
the Statue of the father of bis coin. try,
was a sheet of blinding, hissing flame,
ami lo hear amidst the aiui-i.-i. luealiiii-s
silence if the stupilitd miiiiiiiid .a mini
it, the piteous exclamaii..ii of a chiio,
"poor State House, poor Statue, I
' sorry." There were thousands of adults '
present as sorrol'ul and as powerless as
that child. ' I
It was my lot as Chief Mag'-lia!.- of
the coininnnH calth, on the fourth i-ay of
July, 1V33, to lay the com-T stone of
the present magnificent structure of. .'i
the present Capitol, supposed .n i's com
pletion to be the most magnificent siriie-
lure of the kind in the Union.
It was my lot on the morning of the
l Kith of April, 1KT, as the friend ami
reyiri-sentarive of Governor Vance, to
find, on iri'proai-liing the Soiitiiern front
. or the Capitel, the doors and witi'loirs
closed, and a deeper, more dreadful si-
j lence shrouding the city, than during
the sad -catastrophe to which I hive re
ferred. I met nt the South front of the
CiiTitol, however, a negro servant, who
waited on the executive department, the
only hllllMll being who had dared t
; venture beyond the d or. He delivered
'. me the keys and assisted nie in npen'ng
the doors and windows of the executive
office, and I took my sition at the en
trance, with a safe lomluet from Gen
eral Sherman in my hand, prepared to
surrender the Capitol at the demand of
his approaching fon-es. At that moment
a band of nmranders. straggling from
Wheeler's retirine cavalry, dismounted
at the head of Fayetteville street, and
begun to sack the stores dirertly contl
gions to nnd South of Dr. Haywood's
residence. I apprised them immediately,
the Sherman's army wis just nt hand,
thnt any show- of resistance might result
in the destruction of the city, and nrg.-d j
them to follow their retreating cemrades.
A citizen, the first I snw beyond his
threshold that morning, came up at the
moment, and united his remonstrnnccs
to mine, but all in vain, until I perceived
and announced that the head of Kil
patnick's column was in sight. In n
n'otnent every member of the bund, with
the exception of their chivalric lender,
