Madison, N. J. 1
August 8, 18C7. f
Proceeding to Newark by the regular route, I
there took tbe Morris and Eseex train, and,
alter a ride of seventeen milc through one of
the finest and most attractive sections of the
Eastern States, found ray-elf in the village of
Madison. This plncc is sltnated directly on the
line of the Morris and Essex Railroad, and
Veing but twenty-cit'ht mile3 distant from New
York city, U within easy reach of that great
Bedlam and Pandemonium combined. It is ono
f those strasgllr.fr, rambling, dislocated little
towns which stretch through a mile and a half
in ono direction, with an Indefinite and greatly
varying breadth. The inhabitants are a mix
ture of the genuine, old-fashioned, simple.
lnded country folk and the smart, new
feehloned, aristocratic people who glory in the
iact that their manners and ways of life are
tainted with the leaven of the city. The housed
partake of the character of those that dwell
within them. Some are models 01' rustic Jer8ey
Bimpllclty, while others are ornate without and
metropolitan within. Little patches o garden
and little clumps of trees lend their charms to
the place; and, taken altogether, It is just one
1 those delightful Inland villages which posses
enough of the country air to afford repose,
while they savor too much of the city to permit
tbe sojourner to sink into indolence and ennui.
Parsing out of the town by the continuation
of oue of the main streets, at the distance of
hall a mile or so your attention is attractei by a
stout stone wall, such as Is often encouutered in
the Old World, but seldom lo md in the New.
This wall is about three-quarters of a mile in
length, of massive proportions, though some
what the worse tor want of care, and is probably
unequalled in extent by anytniug ot the kind in
New Jersey. About midway vi its leugth there
is an opening which is provided with
large and elaborate iron gates, and flanked on
cither side by a porUr's lodge, built of stone,
and quite concealed by a tangled growth of
climbing vines. Turning luto the enclosure
through the open gateway, you find yourself in
a giove which, without exception, is the most
extensive in all that section of country. It em
biaces full sixty seres, and many ot the trees are
ct such dimensions that they are evidently u
part ol the original primeval forest. If there is
any fault to be lound with them, it is that they
are too thickly planted; and in some places a
neglect to clear away the underbrush, and the
young shoot 9 which have sprung up on all sides,
imparts to tbe grove a gloom which oppresses one
wi' h a melancholy sense of isolation irom the
world.
Leading up from the gateway is a broad
avenue, completely shaded by the huge trees oa
either side, blcJ at the end ot this stands a large
mansion, built of brick and coated with white
paint. It has a frontage of sixty-five feet, is
almost as spacnus in depth, and at the rear a
wing is extended in each direction, making the
entire length of this portion of the building
over one hundred feet. Extendiog the entire
length of the front is a piazza about fifteen feet
in width, the floor of which is laid with blocks
of black and white marble in alternation. The
main roof projects over this spacious portico,
and is supported by massive fluted pillars. At
the rear is another wide piazza extending nearly
the length of the building, and shaded by
a cluster of vines and the branches of the
forest trees. The mansion is two stories
in height, exclusive of the basement,
which is high, and thoroughly ventilated and
drained. The interior is divided into torty dif
ferent apariments, all of which are large and
airy. One of the parlors, in particular, is of
magnificent proportions and very elaborate
finish, while the dining-room at tbe rear
of the main hall is even more spacious and
elegant. With the exception of the large parlor,
the entire establishment is furnished in the most
eoBtly style, the articles being generally of a
heavy pattern, in strict harmony with the man
sion and its surroundings.
Scattered through the grove about this pala
tial residence are the numberless buildings
which were the necessary accessories of such an
extensive establishment. In addition to a large,
Slain wooden farm-house, a laundry, with a
welling lor the laundress near at hand, and
other structures devoted to household and farm
ing purposes, there are two buildings which are
In keeping with the great mansion around
Which they are grouped, one ot tnese is an
ttlDffofitsinnA atrHP.tnre nf taitpful arrhit.p.p.l.iire
WhTch was erected just before the war. at a cost
ot five thousand dollars, and Intended for the
permanent residence of an old Irish servant of
ine lamny. wnen nmsnea, me laitniui nurse
took possession, bnt remained there only a dav
or two, when she was suddenly taken ill, and
Temoved to the great house to die in the pre
sence of her life-long iriends and patrons. The
other is a brick stable, fifty by ninety feet in
dimensions, and two stories in height. This has
been, in its day, ono of the most complete In the
whole countrv. and for some years was tenanted
by the famous trotter who was the "Fashion"
in PDortine circles, as well as in name.
The view from the front does not detract from
the interest created by the extent and romantic
character of the place. The grove surrounding
the mansion stands on elevated ground, the
elope continuing for some distance, when the
land aeain begins to rise, and in the distance
breaks into a series of verdure-covered hills,
which are an offshoot of the Blue Mountains,
Surroundinir the erove is a tract of one nun
died and eiehtv acres, unencumbered by trees,
One hundred acres of this has been undor culti
vation, and is now in good condition. The
remaining eighty acres is thrown into a single
field, and for many years past trie ploughshare
has not turned its soil. The whole estate
known by the appropriate name of "The
Forest," ana until within a few weeks past was
the property of the Gibbons family. The first
Froprietor of that name died In December, 1852.
le was the owner of "Fashion," and erected
the noble mansion, about thirty years ago, at
an expense of $91,01)0. A man or ample means,
of cultivated tastes, of luxurious habits, and of a
genial, hospitable nature, he purchased this
extensive domain, and adorned it in the
manner I have attempted to describe, lor the
use of himself and his friends. The name and
the number of the latter was legion, and at the
country seat of Mr. Gibbons they were sure of a
hearty welcome and a princely entertainment.
On the death of the first proprietor, "The
Forest," with all its accompaniments of man
sion, stables, horses, and farms, passed to one
of his sons, who did not inherit all tbe tastes of
his father. The establishment, however, has
always been kept up in a style which did not
detract from lis early prestige, and the lrlends
of the family still found the doors wide open,
and the hospitality undiminished. But the late
proprietor passed a pre at portion of his time
abroad, ana as the mansion and its surround
ings were getting out of repair from the lack of
his personal superintendence, he was not loth
to dispose of the whole concern at the offer of a
good round price.
Buch an offer was made by Daniel Drew, Esq.,
of New York city; and a few weeks since the
title passed to him, in consideration or the pay
ment of $150,000. The entire estate of two hun
dred and fortv acres, tbe buildings, the furni
ture and tbe farming utensils ana stock thus
became tbe property of Mr. Irew. But the pur
chase was made with no view to his own per
sonal use. He has long been determined upon
founding a Theological Seminary for the educa

being' made to wie umninikr. iu uiu mansion
house 1s to be slightly remodelled, so as to ac
commodate two of the l'rolCBsors and their
families. The large parlor and the stately
dining-room, however, will not be disturbed,
but will be retained in their present condition
for use on important occasions. On the site
of . tbe present farm-bouse, another sub
stantial residence ior a professor is to be
erected without delay, and others will follow
as fast as they are needed. A chapel, library
building, recitation and lecture-rooms, a refec
tory, and a club house for such of the students
as desire to economize, are also to be erected
immediately. The large and substantial stable
already spoken of is now undergoing altera
tions to adapt it to use as dormitories and
studies. Within a few weeks all traces of its
former character will be removed; the doorways
and passages will be filled up with masonry, and
other and more appropriate ones substituted
for them; a third story, alter the stylish French
fattcrn now so popular, will be added; and
he interior then divided into 6eventy-two apart
ments, eleven feet by twelve each in dimension.
Two of these will be allotted to two
students, the one to be used as a study room,
and the other as a sleeping chamber. These
alterations and additions will cost about $20,000,
and by the time they are completed the build
ing will not ouly be as well adapted to its des
tined purposes as anv other in the country, but
it will be exceedingly attractive as far as the
exterior is concerned. As .soon as the increase
in the number of students demands more room,
the necessities of the institution will bs met by
the erection of other, dormitories oi the same
elegant and convenient character, in aJdition
to the expense attending these Improvements of
the grounds, Mr. Drew will furnish the buildings
completely throughout, and will also present
to the Seminary a larger and more complete
theological library than any other in this
country. His agents are now engaged in the
purchase of the books, and several thousand
volumes have already been selected in tbe
ULited States and Europe. Large additions will
be made to the library during the year, and
when complete it will cover the whole field of
theology and its kindred branches of literature,
ancient and modern, English and foreign. It is
expected that the entire expense attending
these proposed measures will not fall short of
$250,000, which wilt cause tbe outfit of the
Seminary to reach a cost of $400,000. And as a
Eerroanent fund for its independent support
ereafter, the generous and enlightened founder
will add a cash endowment of $250,000, to be
Eecurely invested for the sole benefit of
the institution. This princely liberality
of a layman ot tne Church is
surely worthy ot commemoration. As a further
increase of the resources of the Seminary, it is
the intention of the Trustees to lay out the
grounds in the form of a park, with numerous
walks and drives, and then to divide up a large
portion of it into building lots of from one to ten
acres each, which will be leased for twenty-one
years, subject to cancellation or renewal on a
new valuation at the expiration of that time.
The preparations tor the reception of students
are beine rnid)y pushed forward, and it is ex
pected that everything will be in readiness by
tne loin oi uctoDer next, on wnicn aay tne
Seminary will be formally opened. Atter the
nm year, the term will commence on tne tntrd
Thursday in September, and continue eight
months, terminating on the third Thursday in
May. The regular course ot ; study, the comp e
tion of which entitles the student to the degree
of "Bachelor of Divinity," will extend through
three years, and will cover the diUcrent
branches ot exeeretical, hisrorical, systematic,
and practical theology. This course is arranged
with reference to the attainments of college
graduates, and the applicant for admission to it
will be required to produce a diploma from
some college or university, showing that he has
received the degree of "Bachelor ot Arts," or, if
he cannot do so, to pass a satisfactory examina
tion before the Faculty in classical ana general
literature and science. Students whose age or
want of classical preparation will prevent them
from pursuing the regular course, will be ad
mitted to a partial course, requiring two years
lor its completion, vt un reierence to me omer
requirements for admission to the Seminary, the
circular of the institution ssys:
Applicants for admission who are members
of tne Methodist Episcopal Church must bring
a certificate ot local preacher's license, or a
recommendation either from a quarterly con
ference or leaders meeting, certifying that the
applicant is a proper person, as to moral ana
Christian character, to enjoy the advantages of
tne beminarv. members oi otner entireties
must bring satisfactory written recommenda
tions from ministers of the Church to which
they belone." With regard to the expenses of
the student, the ample endowment of the Semi
nary will make it possible to place tuem very
low. There will be no charge for tnltion, room
rent, or use of the library; and the Club House
which is to be erected will be tor the use of those
who desire to eoonomtze in the matter of board
by the lormatlon of clubs.
Three of the regular professors in the Semi
nary have already been selected. The first of
these is the liev. John McCllntoclr.. D.D..LL.D,
who is President of the institution and Professor
of Practical Theology. Dr. McClintock Is one
of the most scholarly and popular divines in the
Methodist denomination, and for many years
has enioved its full confidence. From 1860 to
1864 he was pastor of the American Chapel at
Paris, and while residing in that city was con
staiitly in consul: ation with our Minister to
France, the Hon. William L. Dayton. He con
tributed greatly by his advice to the efficiency
of the conduct of our affairs by the latter, and
when the position suddenly became vacant by
Mr. Dayton's death, so high was President
Lincoln's appreciation of his ability and ser
vices that he tendered the appointment to Dr.
McClintock, who felt constrained to decline its
acceptance. For several years past vr. Aicunn
tock has been encaged, in ooniuuetion with Dr,
Strong, in the preparation of a general Cyclo
pedia of Biblical Literature, tbe first volume of
which has just been given to tbe publio This
work promises to be the most extensive and
reliable of the kind that has ever been under
taken.
The Eev. Bernard H. Nadal, D. D., is the Pro
fessor ol Historical Theology. He haa held some
of tbe most important stations in the denomi
nation, and during a portion oi me war wai ias-
tor oi the leading jnetuouisi vuuiuu iu
tneton. where be eniovea tne conuuuuue o
President Lincoln and the leading stateimen ot
the country. Among his congregation were
man? numnRililzers with the Rebellion, out by
his tact he prevented a split in the church, not
withstanding his stern loyalty, to Which he gave
as lree utterance in the pulpit as in private life.
Some years ago, Dr. Nadal was a Professor In
the Indiana Asbury University, at Greencastle.
Indiana, and during the past two years he has
held the Professorship of Philosophy and Eng
lish Literature in Dickinson College, although.
he has not entered on the duties of this position
Since 1866 he has been tbe pastor of the Trinity
Methodist EDlfconal Church, of Philadelphia.
Tbe Professorship of Exegetlcal Theology has
been tendered to the Kev. John W. Lindsay,
D. D.. of the New York fYinfnrenpe. formerly a
Professor in the Wesleyan University, at Mid
dletown, Conn., and at tbe present at the head
of Genesseo College, Lima, N. Y.
The Professor ot Systematic Theology has
not yet been selected. Mr. James II. Worman,
an accomplished linguist, and a son of Professor
Worman, of the University ot Berlin, Prussia,
has been appointed Librarian and Tutor.
In closing this lengthy letter, a few words
concerning Mr. Drew may not be inappropriate,
lie U now Ju the isvcnUeUi jestr of his age,
but Is still in the full vigor of health and men
tal activity.
He was born In Pntnam county. New York,
and passed his early youth upon a farm. Be
coming tired of this he engaged in business as a
drover, and in this rather humble and nnarlsto
cratio calling laid the foundation of his princely
fortune, which is now variously estimated at
from $12,000,000 to $20,000,000. Mr. Drew,
though tall, is of slender form and delicate fea
tures. He is by no means fastidious as to his
personal appearance, and by a stranger would
not be taken for the shrewd, sharp capitalist
that be is. An anecdote is told of nim whieh
aptly illustrates his disregard of outward appear
ances. He was once going up the Hudson on
the, magnificent steamer Daniel Drew, when
he was roughly accosted by a dandified indi
vidual with the query:
"Do you belong to this boat, Mister?"
"No," replied the unpretentious millionaire;
' 'but the boat belongs to me I"
Mr. Drew has always been extremely liberal
with his money, especially when appealed to In
behalf of tbe Church ot which he is a member.
Some years ago he built a handBome church
at Carmel, in his native county oi Putnam. New
York, and this he now supports in a liberal
manner. At tbe same place he has also esta
blished a Young Ladies' Semlnnry, which Is in
a very flourishing condition. His donation of
$650,000 towards the establishment of a Divinity
School is a characteristic specimen of hw en
lightened liberality, and an act for which he
will long be held in grateful remembrance, not
only by tbe members of the Methodist Church,
but by the good men of all denominations.

Storm Signals by Moan gof tha Tele
graph and Cannon.
Western Uniok Telkoraph Company, No.
115 Broadway, New York, August H, 18K7. A.
Watson, Esq. Dear Sir: Numerous duties have
delayed reply to your favor of July 28. When
any considerable number of cities or towns
shall order the reports of storms which you sug
gest, they making their own arrangements for
firing Biicnal guns according to the plan pro
posed by you, I will take measures to see these
supplied. Tois company la always ready to
serve any great public good in any way consist
entwlth Us business and purposes.
v ery respectiuiiy,
WILLIAM Orton, President.
The storm signals, by means of tbe telegraph
and cannon, are Intended mainly for the beuedt
of agriculture and commerce; to give warning
of approaching storms during harvest in time
for larmers to get their grain or hay under
cover, or in a situation to shut out the ralu: and
at the same time to give warning to vessels on
our numerous bays, rivers, and lakes, in time
to seek places of safety, or prepare for tbe cam-
log storm.
The harvest caving nearly passed, it Is there
fore proposed that the storm signals be tested
as to their benefit to commerce, and if proved
satisfactory the system can then be extended
over the whole country in time for the harvest
next year.
The plan is asrouows: wnen a storm com
mences In any part of the country, and is tra
versing towards any oily having arrangements
to fire signal guns, the first telegraph station
over which It passes will immediately send the
news to such city, stating the kind of storm
that Is approaching. Three guus are to be fired
as a warning of a coming storm; at Intervals of
one minute if a hurricane, severe gale, or de
structive storm is approaching; at Intervals of
three minutes, If it is an ordinary storm, and Is
moving rapidly, ana atintervaisoi live minutes
if it is moving slowly.
as a gooa-sizea cannon can De neara dis
tinctly from fifteen to twenty miles in all direc
tions, or over a space oi irom thirty to rorty
miles square, by firing signal guns, at tbe prin
cipal ouies and towns, situated on bays, rivers,
or lakes, vesnels of all kinds will thus be warned
in time to seek places of safety, or prepare for
tbe coming storm.
The western union reiegrapn uompaay.
with lines extending over tbe entire Union,
having die-red to lurulah telegrams of ap
proaching storms as soon as any considerable
numoer or ciues ana towns saau so oruor, n is
therefore proposed to the boards of trade or city
authorities of all seaports situated on bays,
rivers, or lakes, that they make arrangements
at once to fire signal guns to give warning of
approaching storms, by which means It is be
lieved that millions of dollars iu ships and
cargoes, and also numerous lives will be saved .
Where a iort, navy yard, arsenal, or Darracus
is near a city or port, the war or Navy Depart
ment will doubtless order signal guns to be
fired npon solicitation from its city authorities
or beard of trade. If the firing here is at the
Navv Yard, the signals may be repeated at
Fort Washington, and at several seaports the
signals may be repealed at distant ports. In
this way tnese simple Biorm signals may do
tried at a trifling cost, if the press at seaports
will publish this article, and several cities snail
act In concert. A. Watson.

Exchanga
of Territory Between
land and Holland.
Kng-
From the Manchester Ouardian, July 17.
A convention between her Majesty and the
King of the Netherlands ior an interchange of
territory on the West Coast of Africa was signed
at London on tbe 6tu ot juarcu, ana tne rattnea-
tions were exchanged on the 6th instant. Tbe
convention recites that the interchange would
conduce to the mutual advantage of the two
powers, and would promote the Interests of the
inhabitants of the territory.
tier Majesty ceaes to tne lung oi tne wetner
lands all British forts, possessions, and rights of
sovereignty or jurisdiction which sne possesses
on the Gold Coast to tbe westward of the mouth
of the Sweet river, where their respective terri
tories are conterminous; and the King of tbe
Netherlands makes a like cession to her Majesty
of Netberland forts, possessions, and rights of
sovereignty or jurisdiction to the eastward of
the mouth of the Sweet liver. The tariff to be
enforced after tbe 1st of January, 1868, In the
possessions of the two powers upon the Gold
coast imposes a three per cent, ad valorem duty
on tbe invoice price of all goods except beer,
wine, spirits, tobacco, gunpowder, and firearms,
for which specific duties are provided. If the
customs officers consider the value of goods de
clared by the master of vessels insufficient, they
are to be at liberty to take the goods on public
account, paying to the importer the amount of
his valuation, with the addition of ten per cent,
thereon.
The Utah Gold Mines.
We learn that Colonel Bright, Special Postal
Agent, has arrived in town. He is said to report
that the new mines are eoodjthat the quartz
lode discovered is a neb thing; and the placer
diggings, as tar as opened, were paying lrom
$15 to $30 a day. On the strength of the late
accounts, numerous other parties will start tor
tbe new Eldorado to-morrow and next day. We
also learn that large numbers of tho.ie who left
here have crossed over into the Wind river
lange looking for the precious stuff, and the
rumor is without any trustworthy fouudation,
however, so far as we know that they have
also found rich quartz ledges and good placer
mines. While we are disposed to credit tbe
truth of this last report, for reasons entirely
satisfactory to ourselr, still we advise the public
to be wary and not place too much reliance on
the gold rumors thHt are afloat. Tbe discoverers
ere hot going to run away with the new mines,
so it is just as well to keep cool for ajwhile
longer. it Qg Lake Vedette, Ja y 21.
