Hark! die rush ol waters passing
As they roll from rook to rock—
Hither u hilling, ihilher dashing—
Now quite faint, now great the shock—
Here o’er fattened surface rushing,
Down the foamy waters rim—
Now o’er precipices rushing—
Heie io shade, them in the sun.
Voice of many waters falling
From the mountain to the vale—
Hoi ks and woods the etjio railing,
Answer distant down the dale.
How the blacken’d waters mingle.
As they roll through chasms deep,
While a solemn sounding tingle,
Sei-ms from unseen eaves to creep.

Where now rocks, now trees are seen—
Vales, sweet scenes tor mi.,ii/.mg,

people turned their thoughts to education, and
Hindu some provision for its maintenance. By
a resolution of the Legislature in 1792 the in
corporated academies had the right ot purchas
ing confiscated property io the amount of
1,000/. In Savannah nud Augusta, private
academies were establi. lien by clergymen iuid
others, and in 1791, the first’classical school
out of those cities, was begun by Rev. Mr.
Springs, five miles north of Washington,
where’tiie late Jesse Mercer learned the rudi
ments of the ancient languages.
In 1774 or ’5, the Rev. Moses Waddel, D.
D., opened a classical institution in Columbia
county, called ‘Carmel Academy,’ and one of
iiis former pupils, the distinguished Wm. H.
Crawford, was temporarily Ins assistant. It
was at ‘Carmel Academy,’ under the. tuition
of Dr. Waddel, that John C. Calhour. receiv
ed a part of his instruction. The means of
education slowly increased. A new country,
with a sparse population, just recovering from
the stunning effects of war, was not congenial
to the interests of literature, so that by ISO 1,
academies had been incorporated only in Sa
vannah, Augusta, Snnbury, Louisville, jiud in
Burke and Wilkes counties.
We cannot forbear extracting from the Re
port ofthe Committee, adopted by the Legisla
ture, Dec. 1831, the following paragraph il
lustrative ol the sound and elevated views of
that body. “ The Committee,” says the report.
lu 1802 it began its academical operations.
A gentleman of ‘.bis city was travelling
north by the regular stage through Alabama
and Georgia. At a town in Georgia the coach
stopped, for the purpose of giving the passen
gers a chance to swallow a hasty dinner. On
leaving the table and lighting his cigar pre
paratory to resuming his place in the coach,
our friend found that a new passenger, belong
ing to the town, had taken the seat lie had oc
cupied ever since he started. The inside ot
the coach was thus completely filled. A
drizzling rain had just set in, which promised
to increase in due time, to a very respectable
shower. Sundry upsets of the stage, at no
time very agreeable, and iht laiigue ot travel
without sleep, had considerably encroached
upon the good nature of our worthy traveller,
and lie did not feci at all inclined to surren
der what he thought to be his right. It scarce
ly needed the rather arrogant air of the
stranger, therefore, to bring him to a determi
nation to make no concessions.
“ My friend,” said he, “ 1 am sorry to dis
turb you, but that seat is mine.”
“ You’re positive of that are von?” replied
the stranger, with rather a contemptuous
smile.
“Pretty positive,sir,”said the other survey
ing the interloper coolly.
