If How important,then, that our people should
bestir themselves in the reorganization of all
institutions of learning. No espouse is too
-rest, no labor too costly, no time too im
noitact to be devoted to this work. During
ttie late war which shook the foundations of
society and broke the bands which bound
th e demon vice, the cause of education was
lamentably neglected. Our schools, to a
rreat extent, were abandoned, our colleges
suspended, and even the restraints and train-.
Wg of the fireside were overthrown. The
blasts of war swept over the length and
breadth of the fair fields of learning, wither
ing the lovely flowers which there bloomed
in perennial beauty and fragrance. A good
work is before us, and the privilege and duty
rest with U3 to enter upon it with alacrity,
r-nd determination.
Oar de-ire is to see all our schools revived,
and our glorious old State University .taking
Uie lead. It i3 doubtless well known that
for nearly two years exercises of this instO_
tution were suspended because all .young
men were “required to gO into the army. The
exact cause of the continued suspension we
do not know, but cau re*dily guess it is
. ->vmg to the destruction of its Capitol by
the fortunes of war.
This is an old institution,-having been
founded in 1705. The sure patriot and gen
et ns friend of learning, Gov. MUlcdge,
u.ade a donation to the College as a suitable
,ite for its location of a considerable tract of
land in and around what is now the beauti
ful city of Athens. The legislature also ap
propriated large bodies of land as a perma
nent endowment. Seeing afterwards the
difficulty the Trustees labored under in rais
ing funds sufficient for current expenses from
the sale-tof these last named lands, without
seriously sacrificing them, the State agreed
to take them back, and, in consideration for
them, to change the endowment to one hun
dred thousand dollars, investing the same
lor the college and pledging on that invest
ment cfh annual income of at least SB,OOO.
The lands bestowed by Gov. Milledge were
afterwards sold, excepting the reservation of
the campus grounds, and the sum of about
40,000 realised. In 1852, Dr. Terrell, an en
lightened aud generous planter of Hancock
county, made a donation to the University
of $20,000 to endorse a Professorship of Agri
culture. The Legislature also, we think,
made appropriations for some buildings. If
wo are not mistaken nearly, if not all, the
sum realised from the sale of lauds presented
by Governor Milledge, the Trustees have
been compelled to expend in the erection of
buildings, improvement of the grounds and
purchase of additional apparatus aud applian
ces necessary to meet the increasing wants
of the institution.
We do not pretend to the utnfost exactness
in our estimates, though iu the main we are
correct. Wc have them ns amount Received
by the College from different sources:
Held by the State on tyhieh she

Milledge 40,000
Terrell Professorship.. . 20,000
Appropriated by the Legislature for
buildings, say, 10,000
$170,000
Os the above it will be recollected that only
the State appropriation in lieu of the lands
first donated, aud the Terrell bequest, con
stitute the college endowment proper, the re
mainder having been judiciously expended
in buildings and necessary outfiis. Asa
matter of hisloiy, it is proper to remark, that
many years ago, one of the largest buildings,
used as sjeepiug apparUnenta for the stu
dents, together will! the entire Library, was
consumed by fire, and that these losses have
been entirely repaired.
The question arises, why is our old State
University still suspended ? Why arc her
halls so quiet, her recitation rooms so silent,
and her dormitories unoccupied? The an
swer is, because the SB,OOO pledged by the
honor of the State are not forthcoming. \\ e
are aware of the chaotic condition of affairs
in Georgia. We appreciate the fact that the
late war has emptied her treasury and
crippled her resources for awhile, but it is
a mo9t appropriate time to raise a voice in
in behalf of educaiion. It is proper that the
public mind should be thoroughly awakened
on this vital question, and that the people
through their representatives, whenever
they assemble, should declare to the youth
of the State, wbA are famishing to drink at
her chief fountain of learning, that the
wafers must and shall be moved in which to
wash away the pollution of ignorance.
' Whatever the proud Empire State, of the
South may be derelict in as to duty, let her
never darken her bright escutcheon with a
repudiation of her debt of honor to the alma.
. ,?.ter of bo many of her greatest and best
children. 'Turns there the Jackson's the

lbr their varied duties in life ; and it is there
that our children and our children’s children
wish to journey aB to the Mecca of their
educational hopes.
[From the Augusta Transcript.]-
Til* Recent Murder in Augr.itu.
The murder ot a young Federal officer at.
the depth of midnight, in ihe yard of one of
our fellow citizens, has awakened a feeling of
general horror and of general insecurity.—
We had not intended unseasonably to discuss
the subject; which is now under the investi
gation of a military tribunal, but may bo al
lowed to refer to It, inasmuch as a cotem
porary journal has published an article,
wliici), while just* and manly in the main,
certainly, in one paragraph, fails to do jus
tice to the feelings with which our people re
gard this terrible crime.
In our honest judgment this is no occasion
for remonstrances against “our cherishing
impotent bate while the victors ofler peace,'
or tqj calls that the Confederate “flag" should
be forgotten, and that “the war should cease."
The Act was not the act of our people; they
have no connection with it—no sympathy for
it—no love for the bravo, and no practice in
his detestable midnight arts. The act was
not an act of war; no deed over, which the
martial flag waves in triumph or the heart of
the hero glows; it was nothing more and
nothing less, if its performers knew what
they did, than a stealthy, cruel, cowardly as
sassination. And wc should be as much sur
prised, as ashamed, if such an act could find
an apologist in the city of Augusta.
it is not our province to express auy opin
ion in regard to the surroundings of the
crime, or any suspicion in regard to Us per
petrators. It is our earnest hope that the
young men who are charged with its com
mission may prove to be as guiltless as the
honored and afflicted families to which they
belong fondly and trustfully believe them to
be. But in the presence of this painful event,
we must ask leave to protest against that
infatuation which makes the war the secret
of every tragedy perfomed in our Southern
country, and the text of every sermon
preached by our Southern press. As if there
wore no other eauses but sectional enmities
to fire the youthful blood with jealousy and
madness j.
And we are glad to know that the people
of our city enjoy the benefit of an adminis
tration so’magnanimous as to remqve every
possible justification for an excess of this
sort. The Commanding General to whom
the interest of Georgia have been intrusted,
has so demeaned himself in his high office,
has exercised a policy so film aud sagacious,
so promptly just and kind, that our citizens
esteem themselves as specially favoured in
belonging to his military district. They
would deplore the murder more deeply if it
were esteemed by him as an alfroit to his
authority, as an insult provoked "by popular
sentiment against his as a wouncynten
tcntiomflly inflicted upon that noble and
gallant heart.
In truth, every consideration invites the
people to repress the spirit of faction. It is
worse than idle to dwell upon a contest that
has been settled. The time has come when
he who yields to the pressure of events, and
conciliates the strife of parties, is the truest
friend of his country. And there is, further,
a, civil respect due to those who rule over us,
not in their own names or for their own in
terests, but by the command of the supreme
authority of the Union; to those who con
serve the public weal, in the most perilous
of conjunctures, and under whose aupices
the work of civil restoration must take place,
that shall ensure to us all our ancient rights
and blessings. VVe deem the present a pro
per occasion for saying this. Every motive
conspires to impress upon the spirit-hereto
-forc passionate and rash, the wisdom, justice
and moderation inscribed upon the es
cutcheon of the grand old State of Georgia.
Negro Suffrage and Citizenship.
The Columbus Sun appends to an editorial
aiticlc on the subject,of negro suffrage, the
following, which it pronounces a short ex
tract from on<sof the late President Lincoln's
published speeches, delivered at Springfield
during the famous contest for the Senator
ship between lam and Air. Douglas:
Judge Dougins has said to you that he has
not been able to get from -1 me an answer to
the question whether I am in favor of negro
citizenship. So far as I know, the Judge has
never asked me that question before. He
shall have no occasion to ever ask it again,
for I tell him frankly that I am not in lavor
of negro citizenship. *
My opinion is that the States hat«e the
power.to make a negro a citizen* under the
Constitution of the United States if they
choose. The Drcd Scott decision decides
that they have not that power. If the State
of Illinois had that power,,l should he op
posed to the exercise of it.
This, remarks the Atlanta Intelligencer,.is
rather a bitter nut for the abolition radicals
to crack, at this time. Chase & Cos. will
hardly relish it. Whatever the late Presi
dent's views wqye upon the slavery question,
and however distasteful they were to the peo
ple of the South, still there were reason aud
honesty in him, and what is more than there
is in the radical abolitionists of the present
day, regard for the race from whence ho
sprung, and its supremacy over the African
or any other colored race. He says “/rauh/y’
that the question may not be asked him
again, that if the State ot Illinois had the
power of making the negro a citizen, he
should be opposed tq the exercise of it. With
this before the country, he dare not be pro
claimed by the radicals—however much they
recklessly dare—as one, who, if living, would
be in favor of any such measure.

Civil Wars.
In the Monthly religious Magazine for
February there is an interesting historical
review of civil wars ; and on the subject of
the Peloponesian'war, the writer says :
This long and deadly warfure could not
have been prolonged through twenty-seven
years, except tor the tact that, botli Sparta
and Athens were based on slavery. The
slaves tilled the soil ; the citizens waged
war. Slavery not only supplied .the muni
tions, but it gave to the war a savage fero
city and brutality. Athens alone had four
hundred thousand slaves to sixty thousand
freemen. But Sparta was made pre-eminent
ly baibarous and inhuman bj- the habit of
domineering over slaves During the pro
gress of the war, 'earing an insurrection
among her Hotels at home, she proclaimed
liberty (o such as would come forward and
join her armies. Two thousand brave men
sprung up at the word “liberty” and pre
sented themselves. They were never heard
of more. They were led off secretly and
massacred ; and, by this fiendish treachery,
the oligarchs rid themselves of such slaves
as would mostly likely prove a dangerous
element at home.
It is curious to contrast the unnjbers en
gaged in our war with those engaged in the
great wars of the past.
YYe select two decisive battles. One of
these was fought in the harbor of Syracuse.
In an expedition against Sicily, Athens lmd
strained evefy nerve and equipped a magni
ficent fleet. aud army. They sailed out of
the Piraeus with sound of trumpets, pecans,
aud libations of wine from gold and silver
cups. This great army consisted of five
thousand heavy armed infantry. It was re
inforced by another of about the same num
ber. When gathered at. Syracuse they num
bered in all—heavy armed infantry, natives
of the island, and slaves, who were light
armod and only employed as skirmishers—
twenty thousaud men. This, in the language
of Thucydides, made the power appear
“stupendous," and her resources “beyond
calculation.”
The final and decisive battle was that of
Aigospotomi, when Athens lost her fleet, aud
nearly her whole army Was surprised and
taken prisoners. The 'numbers engaged in
battle arc not told, but the number of priso
ners, who \fere native Athenians, is recorded
as three thousand, whiclr seems to 1 have
made up the bulk of iter army in the last de
cisive engagement. . .
NOW AND THEN.
As numbers engaged, the little State ot
Massachusetts has furnished more men in our
present struggle than fought on both-sides in
the great English rebellion. It has sent
more men into the field than Julius Cssar
commanded to gam the empire of the world
more than all-the troops of Hellas put (to
gether in the long struggle that rent her in
pieces when her sun went down in biood.
The State of New York ha 9 equipped more
soldiers than all the troops of Caesar and
Pompey pnt together, though drawn from
every province, from the Euphrates to the
pillars of Hercules. The whole army of
Cromwell wo*ld only serve as skirmishers,
or as a detail for a ‘ 'raid” from thfe army of
Grant or Sherman. His great military fame
was gained by managing twenty-five thous
and men ; and its marches and evolutions
were within an area less extensive than the
State of Virginia.
THE ENGLISH REBELLION.
The great civil war of England, known as
“the Great Rebellion,” was al3o a coijjiict be
tween the oligarchs and the commons; called
again, the Cavaliers and the Roundheads;
called again, more appropriately, the King
and the Parliament. It divided England hori
zontally—the king and the lords and the
bishops on one side, the commons on the
other; and it decided the question forever,
whether the constitutional government wa3a
possible boon to tjre English race.
The war opened in 1G42, and continued
seVeu years. It would probably have been
finished in half that lime, but for the hesi-
tancy and half measures of Essex, the first
parliamentary general. The first conflict of
Edgehill has its exact parallel in Antidam.—
It was a drawn battle; both parties lying all
' night on their arms; but, in the morning,
Hampden came up with four thousand fresh
men. Julius Csesar would have*followed up
quickly the former day’s work, and, with
blow upon blow, finished the royalists and
the war. Instead of (his, the armies "looked
at each other,” dreaded to renew" the fight,
and drew off, each by itself, much to the
chagrin and disgust of Hampden. Five
thousand were left slain upon the field—slain
to no purpose, ns nothing was decided. So
things went on, tiil Oliver Cromwell came
with his “ironside regiment,” and in the do
oisive battle of Naseby, dashed upon the
kind's forces and shivered them to pieces.
\Y - o may smile, on reading over these great
battle, nt the numbers engaged. They varied
troin twenty to twenty-five thousand men on
each side, never exceeding the latter num
ber. The battle of Marston Moor was the
most obstinately contested, between “the
most numerous armies, that were engaged
during the course of these wars;” and in
that battle, assume lalnents, fifty thousand
British troops were led to mutual slaughter.
Such was the price paid : the end achieved
was free government for the English race
everywhere.
The writer inHhe Religious Monthly, de
duces from the facts berates several aigu-.
tpents. Firs) conies one in favor of a culti
vation of a national military spirit as the
surest way of avoiding the shedding of blood.
Wars unskilHully waged are the bloodiest of
all. Cassar, in a three years’ war between
the Csesereaus and Pompeians,• lost fewer
men than McClellan did in a single campaign
on the Peninsula. Indeed, it is said more
lives have been lost in our present war than
the great civil wftrs of Greece, Rome, and
Englund put together ; and this might have
been avoided had the Nortli been military
people.
The Election IlEßEAiiours was quite a
spirited affair. The polls for this precinct
were opened at the Sea Island Hotel, (which,
by the way, i$ getting to be quite an import
ant institution with us.) Eighty-two vote*
were thrown—all for Mr. D. McGreggor, our
worthy Chief of the Blacksmiths’ Depart
ment, and Chief Engineer of the Fire De
partment, who leaves, this morning, for Co
lumbia. We Lave not heard whntethe other
precincts of the Parish have done, but our
managers, who went to the usual rendez
vous where ajl the boxes should linve been,
found no one there, and consequently had
everything their own way.
St. Helena Parish has but two precincts—
one at Beaufort and one at St. Helena Island.
In Beaufort thirty-eight votes were polled—
thirty-three of which were for Mr. James G.
Thompson, and five for Mr. 11. J. Judd.—
On St. Helena six votes only were polled, all
for Mr. Judd. But n9 neither the manager
or the voters had taken the Amnesty Oath,
the other judges decided that the elcctiou at
St. Helena was invalid- Mr. Thompson is
theretore elected from St. Helena Parish by
a large majority.
It is pro'pei to state here that Mr. Judd and
Air. Thompson were the only eligible candi
dates in the purislu Every condition of the
election laws of the State ’was fulfilled with
them. —Fort Royal Nem South, 9th.
