As well ■xpect the eagle’s swoon from the crawling ■eptiie, as that untrained minds and uncul nred hearts can ever fully enjoy, or will perpetuate in their purity, civil and religious 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 pledged 8 pbr cent a SIOO,OOO From sale ofland given by Governor , 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.

[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. Gold Contracts—A.

AVith great respect, Your friend, and servant, W. T. Shebman. (From the Louisville Sunday Journal.) 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. LEGAL NOTICKS.
