necessarily excluded. UnrigbUous mam it seem*, is ft great object in tbe view of ,'hcse divines; for after they feed and fleece their docks some time, if they have the olferof a lit tle more money in a college, or any other lucra tive sphere, they leave their tender, blatant, hungry lambs, to shift for themselves,jind clinch •!u; cash. The impression of such men, is, that a3 they have expended much money on their ed ucation, they are, on the principles of justice, on titled to a heavy drawback from the community. According to popular opinion, orthodoxy is completely monopolized by the wealthy, to the exclusion of the indigent. “ The good shepherd livcih his life for the sheep;” but “the hireling tleelh, because ho is an hireling, and carelh not for the sheep ?” It appears, in these degenerate j s, t i, at the protection of the sheep depends oa tl,’ e fineness and weight of their fleece. A ponderous fleece will secure their piovision; but a light one will doom them to perpetual spiritual starvation. Recently, a witness from the country, before Ju.l"c Holt, was found to be perfectly ignorant of the nature and danger of an oath ! A young uiau in Soulh-Carolina, some time ago, was in terrogated by a Gospel Minister, thus: “Who redeemed you 1” This was a knotty question, and of course required time, to furnish a satis factory solution; hut, lifter some time of painful mental exertion, he replied, “I believe, mam mal” Very many characters of a similar des cription might be enumerated; but those two may sullico as specimens. The unreserved devotion to this superficial, unprofitable species of education, is thought to be the efficient causa ofthc universal declension of real religion. And this is not a novel opinion; for the comparatively few regenerated college bred ministers, confess its reality. The late Dr. Kollock, of Savannah, in the first volume of his lectures, exhibits “prostituted learning” as in imical, perfectly inimical, to genuine religion, 'flic delightful contemplation of the astonishing productions of infinite wisdom and power, in the visible creation, expands and ennobles the human mind abundantly ; and increases reveren tial ideas ot the incomparable Architect of the Universe. Such researches merit the attention, and eulogy, of the most respectable, and pious part of lire citnmunity. The language of an eminent Divine, on this very subject, may hero be appropriated with propriety—“ God forbid that wo should open unhallowed lips in abuse i of them. We consider them as highly ornamen tal and useful, and therefore, instead of con- ' learning, hold them in great esteem.” The living languages, although, in point of i utility, not worthy of a comparison with the ' sciences, afford some satisfaction, as they on- , able men to converse, and transact business with their neighbors, who perhaps aro unable 1 to converse in any language except their own. But this comparatively trivial satisfaction, is nut ; attached to dead languages, which the impar- > till part of the learned, pronounce unprofitable. 1 To tost their inutility is perfectly easy; bu! to . exhibit t!ie extent of thoir injurlousnoss, is beyond 1 the ken of human sagacity; for their remote, and intricate effects, us have been hinted above, may bn perpetuated beyond the limits of mortality. , By the credulous and ignorant, a knowledge i of those celebrated languages is thought to con- ! mimic an infallible foundation of urbanity, mo rainy, and religion; but the fallacy of this con million is rendered obvious by a critical observa- 1 tioiiof the frequent deportment of such asema- * nale fioni scats of learning. Young linguists, in , college, occasionally exhibit their literary refine- i m ait, by depredations which endanger life, and 1 destroy property. Many of them pay no utten- | lion to a useful F.nglish education; hut this omis- i S'oaisnot material, especially if they can be so fortunate as to dignify and immortalize their tunics, by ilia commission of murder in a mag luminous dunk The outrageous conflict, which - took place between the linguists, Smith and Jof furies, was probably never over-balanced, in point ofbrutality, by tho most bloody monsters ofthc irrational creation, in the wilds of Africa.— The time consumed in pursuit of a shadow, would be sufficiently long to enable youth to ob- , tain a substantial education, which would afford private satisfaction, enliven devotion, enlarge tho sphere of usefulness, and inslrumetitally fa- 1 Hlituletlic consummation of temporal and eternal felicity. Tho intrinsic worth of learning is too profound to ho fathomed by human comprehension. Hut the study of dead languages, according to the opinion of impartial learned men, is perfectly unprofitable; and in return for tho long lime, and touch money consumed, nothing is obtained, except ridiculous, vain glorious pomposity. If Ilia srmJtorcr can call a cat, or monkey, by a Lot in or Greek name, ho is forthwith inflated with the idea of sustaining the character of a prodigy of profound erudition.—The undersign ed bags permission to exhibit one quotation, which, it is hoped, will attract attention, and cor roborate this communication. The following sentiments emanate from tho pious and learned Hector Scott: ‘'As to languages, what folly to dream, as ( ramc do, of great wisdom and honour to be found oi learning them! For, what is language, hut words, or sounds, by which xvc communicate ear lltounlits to one another? If these words or sounds had the power, like charms, to brighten ear wits, or to better our hearts, this language ■lumgery would be a noble speculation; hut, alas! instead of making us xviser, these learned lan guages often make us greater fools. For, allow |!,8) 'hat after an experience of five years, and 01 at least us many hundred pounds, a young has learned enough to give his horse a Latin ' C' o D “took name, what mighty advantages does ke d rive from this pretty art of nick-naming f >o 1 s creatures? Does it teach him any new ’■leas relative to tho nature and qualities of a Imran. Or can it furnish him one useful receipt ln farriery, or a single rule for the better manage end choice of that noble animal!” Concurrent testimony, from thfs greatest scho “ir ; , and best of men, might be adduced, in abun dance; but numerous quotations would protract this communication to an inconvenient length.— T" speak or write in opposition to the languages tndex inspection, is to enrage and astonish r. numerous, giddy multitude; but the discerning 'uid >mpartial^unitedly, accord with Dr. Scott on vubject. Ignorance anti-prejudice, in eo-op erution, have imposed many ponderous calami ties on the human family; and among them all, an idolatrous, superstitious attachment to the dead languages, is not the least. Candor is all that is necessary to remove this shameful, expensive burden from an oppressed community; for, if tho injured would speak im_ partially, in this matter of controversy, the study under inspection, would forthwith bo abandoned with aversion; but literary pride would protest against such an humble declaration. —Tho evils which result from tho study of Latin and Greek, arc numerous and groat; consequently, it claims tho attention and opposition of every good citi zen. We find, on investigation, that by -this study, vanity is abundantly increased, useful education ncgloetod, much money expended, tlie ministry corrupted, and tho Christian religion seriously injured. The undersigned is not unaware, that perhaps nine-tenths of his readers will reward him, for his labor of love, with vain-glorious insult; hut, nevertheless, he has tho satisfaction of the co operation of the most pious, judicious, and learned men of the civilized world: and, moreover, some are of opinion, that the censure of vain men “is extorted praise.” As your paper merits and obtains prompt at tention, and has a vory extensive circulation, it is hoped, sir, that this communication will be favored with publicity in its columns. .4 /Hind to Education.

During the sitting of tbe Superior Court of Clark county last week, one white man and two Indians were brought before Judge Clayton, arrested under a writ of injunction issued by the Judge against them and others some time pre vious, for trespass in the gobfregion ofthe Cher okee territory.

To which is added, an AP PENDIX, containing the CONSTITU TION of the STATE OFGEORGIA, AS AMENDED; also, references to such LOCAL ACTS as relate t«i TOWNS COUNTIES, INTERNAL NAN IGA DON, COUNTY ACADEMIES, &c, and a collection of the most approved FORMS used in carrying the ahot c nam ed laws into effect; with a copious l.\- DEX to the whole. It will be some tiling like a continuation of Prince's Di gest, noting the Laws in said Digest re pealed or altered. It may be observed, that the Legislature of Georgia arc in the constant practice of repealing, al tering, or amending Laws passed at their previous sessions, so that, without such a Digest or Compilatior of them, us is now respectfully oflered to the public, it actually requires a lawyer, or a person who has de voted much lime to the exam ination and comparison of the dillbreut enactments of each succeeding session ol tin* Legislature, to he acquainted with all the laws which-are of force: And having witnessed with much pleasure, the immense public utility and populari ty of the Digest compiled by Oliver 11. Prince. Esq., and also having no dutihl bat a similar Compendium of the Laws from the time of that publication down to the present, with the addition of the precedents, or forms, which will he plac ed in the Appendix, and which will add greatly to the public utility of Iho work, and to the furtherance of Justice, would he very useful and acceptable to the pub lic, the Compiler has ventured upon the arduous and important undertaking.— However, not relying altogether on his own judgement, or the experience of ha v inglieen a member of the Legislature during the passage of most of the laws ■ now proposed to be published, and at the administration of them fur eight years, as , a Justice of the Inferior Court, in a Conn- ’ ty where much business of an intricate nature is transacted in that Court and tilts Court of Ordinary; after complet ing the manuscript it lias been placed in the hands of gentlemen, eminently learn ed in the law, who, alter a strict mid ■ careful examination, have politely ten dered to him the subjoined CERTIFI CATES : I have examined “A Digest of dm laws of Georgia from 1820 to 1829, inclusive, by A. Fosticr, Esq.” and think the work executed with judgment ami accuracy. The work is in tended as a continuation of Prince’s Digest, and is, in my opinion, well calculatod-tu answer that valuable purpose. Although the author is not professionally a Lawyer, lie seems, in ascer taining the statutes now of force,, to have added much o'li-n, ox.-iininatiun, nml study, to his ad vantages as n practical legislator, during most of the period emhratud in his work.
