THE *VIW«CTOP •OVCATIO*
Are the people of Georgia taking that in
terest in tne subject of education, which ot
all the vital queatiooa now engaging, or
should engage, their • unreal attention, is the
most important ? To consider the future
mental cultivation of the young and rising
generation o! thousands of our children is a
dnty that should not, and must not, tie
Ignored.
The general recognition of the responsi
bility devolving u|>ou tbe Legislature to pro
vide by judicious legislation for the establish-
ment fa -yt-tem ol common school* does
not relieve our people of the obligation i©
some immediate steps for the attainment
of the object iu every neighborhood through
out the State. During the last four years
the sword of tbe soldier has usurped the
pointer of tht teacher, and forts and earth-
works have taken the places of school houses
an 1 desks. During thia period of war and
demoralization the great majority of the
children of Georgia have been growing up in
ignorance, until, as we have been assured by
intelligent citizens, there aro several thou
sand adults in Georgia who can neither read
nor write. This tact, for we do not doubt
but tlfat it is such, is truly startling. Then
iu addition to t*se, we also, have a much
larger number of boys and girls where men
tal cultivation needs a fostering care, or they
will likewise grow up in darkness of mind.
The difference between savage and civiliz
ed life, between barbarous nations and civi
lized ones, lies simply in the difference in the
education of them. Where iguorauce pie
vails there we invariably find superstition,
cruelty and all other attributes of a savage
nation. Where the people are educated and
intelligent, there we certainly find the arts
and sciences in the highest perfection. The
world's history is full of notable examples
of poor boys attaining the highest pinnacle
of fame by moans of educational improve
ment. Benjamin Franklin, from a printer's
apprentice, rose to be a Minister at the
French throne. The history of our distin
guished President, Andrew Johnson, is fa
miliar to every one. We all know how,
when working at his trade, he studied and
improved his rniud, until now he occupies
the highest office in the gift of the people.
But why multiply instances of this kind. No
sane person will dispute our premises that
education makes the man, and it only re
mains for us to rally around the standard of
free schools, and to aid by every means in
our power in advancing the cause of educa
tion within the limits of our State. We have
a plenty of methods to choose from, and the
failures of other State* will only shed light
upon our cause.
Much as we love the South, we are con*
strained to confess the greater progress and
development at the North iu several, perhaps
we should any, many points. Certain it is
that in the useful arts we have long been de
pendent in a great degree on Northern inge
nuity and energy. It is not merely in
"wooden nutmegs," brooms, clocks, stoves,
and a thousand other "notions,” that this
dependence Ims existed, but also matters of
a higher kind ; such as the development of
literature and the publication of books and
periodicals. Much noxious trash, indeed,
igsucs from the Northern press ; yet nothing'
but prejudice can deny that much valuable
literature comes from the same source. And
this is the result, in a great measure, of their
liberal tnd expansive systems of common
school education. • We certainly are not rea
dy U confess our inferiority in talent and
genius. We have the same native material
for litetary success and distinction, but here
tofore we lacked the enterprising and adven
turous spirit, the indomitable perseverance
and systematic industry displayed by tbe
Yankees iu the departments of literature
and art.
Frankly recognizing the truth in this re
gard, we must rouse from the lethargy which
despondence is too upt to engender, and
by means of gcueral education win for our-,
selves in all the walks of useful literature
laurels as bright ns those which are gathered
by our Northern countrymen.
We know that there Is much in the present
anomalous conditions of our people to depress
their spirits and paralyze their energies, but
they should remember that to succumb is
ruin, and that it is not wise to oppose the
inevitable. Those who put themselves by in
action against the progress of the times will
oniy be borne down before it. They may
retard their own State or section by indiffer
ence to public measures which logically
flow out ol tbo ucw order of things, but they
cannot prevent the general progress. They
will he the wisest who, seeing the tendency
of the age towards the realization of the
great principles of free labor, accept it as a
Providential fact and act accordingly. Asa
people, we must either march along in
rnuks of other communities of our own fruc
will, or he dragged along by the advance
ment of those around us. There is uo stand
still in this moving world, where nothing is
immutable but mutability. Let the Southern
States, then, accept their new position—that
of free States in the Union—as a providen
tial fact, and work up to the new standard
of progress, and we feel assured blessings
will flow' upon them in the future.

The imbroglio Utwroa Spain and tSd i
will terminate either in speedy adjustment or
In fresh entupli ration*. If the great powers
which are said to have made Uirmsolvta
I .art ic» to the dispute interfere an adjustment
must take place, and no further difficulties
will be experienced. France and Knglaml
are able to settle (lie dispute bv diploma. )
ami without a resort to boalUities. The coun
sels of Spain are ruled by those of France.
Tbe former dare not continue the war against
Chili in the face of the opposition of tbe bit- '
ter, and unless we suppose that Sjiai n is
secretly instigated by laruis Napoleon, with
some ulterior object, to attack a power so
comparatively weak as Chili, * mediation
may lie soon expected
We cannot admit the supposition that
France wishes to involve the South Ameri
can republics in a war against Republicanism
and in tavor of Monarchy in the new world.
Such a supposition would lead to indefinite
trouble. It would precipitate that conilict
of opinion which Mr. Canning, in his far
reaching sagacity predicted as about to take
place in Europe soon alter the general peace
of 1815. in the progress of events such a
loutiict may now be In preparation, but the
lime has not arrived for a war ot this charm
ter, in which old institutions, and ancient
traditions will come into conflict withdrew
ideas and new institutions.
We, therefore, think that the interposition
of France and England will be effectual iu
composing tbe quarrel between Spain and
Chili. Tho idea that the United Slates arc
to form with tbe two great European powers
a triple alliance for tbe defence ot Chili, is
simply preposterous Such an alliance would
be against our traditional policy, according
to tbe wise eounaels of Washington, to avoid
all entangling alliances.
Dickens’ Lul Novel—“ Our Mutual ”
Friend."
An excellent review of the latest work of
tlte great novelist, Charles Dickens, has the
following:
"To attempt a criticism of any one of the
works of Charles Dickens, the greatest hu
morist and novelist of this age, if not of all
ages past, and |ierchance of ages yet to come,
is simply to endeavor, iu such manner, to
point out und eulogize the beauties of the
production as to pay, in a certain extent, a
just tribute to the transcendent genius of the
author. To say that the work that lies be
fore us, which we lain would lay down our
peu ttf rc-peruse, is fit to take its place, side
by side, on equal looting with “ David Cop
pcrflold" amt “DorubeyV—with the “Pick
wick Papers" and "Baroaby Budge"—to
say that it reflects credit ou the genius
whence spraug the “ Curiosity Shop,"
“Nicholas Nicklcby” and “Martin Chuzzle
wit to say that “ Our Mutual Friend ”
equals most of these, Burpassiug others, as it
surpasses “ Bleak House," “ Dorritt ’’ und
“Oliver Twist," is to say in its favor more
tlmu could be suid iu a criticism tilling a
volume equal in size to the book itself.
There is an old story of a scholar who,
being an enthusiastic admirer of Homer,
took up the works of the great poet, with
pencil iu hand, resolved to underline each
passage which should strike him as particu
larly deserving note. He did so, aud under
lined one-third of tho poem. After a ro
perusal, two-thirds were underlined, and
the next reading being completed, be found
one pencil mark from the first word to the
last. 'Tis somewhat thus with “Our Mutual
Friend." To mark the noteworthy passages
is to mark tbe book from beginning to eud.
To quote them is to reproduce the book it-
Belf."

HAST INDIA ritBSJCIfVKS, AT MTU ART
* VO. H
THR LIH IRS 4 TUT OATH.
Aii argument was held la-fore (he Supreme
Court on the I'-lti iost oil the application of
A It G irland <4 Aikati-as.lopractice in that
i till »illioiit Ukmg the oath prescribed by
* the act of Congress passed in Ireqttii - 1
iug attorneys to swear that they have not 1
ac,tally participated iu the rebellion, lliat .
. they will rcuder ailcgiaucc and obedience to (
i 'he Government. Mr 11. Carpenter, of Wis
consin, appeared for Mr. Garland, in con- !
junction with Revcrdv Johnson, and Attor
ney Genera! Mpeed in opposition.
Tin- argument, in brief, of Mr. Carpenter,
wo* substantially as follows as reported by
the correspondent ot the New Fork Herald.
The act of Congress requires attorneys to
take au oallt that they have not participated
wilfully in the rebellion, and lo render alle
giance to the Goverumeut.
“This act is s complete bar to tbe petition
er’s rights. If it violates the spirit of the
constitution, it is void. This court lias held
that any legislation is void which imposes
burdens and renders rights secured by tbe
conslilntion useless. The members of this
court, for instance bold office for life, or du
ring good behavior; and therefore it would
not be competent for Congress to provide
that they should not preside beyond acer-
tain age. Take tbe case of assault and bat
tery. It is punished by a fine, but is not
followed by civil disqualification. Suppose
an attorney commits au assault and battery
end is fined, and supi>osc that Congress had
passed u law requiring him to swear that he
had never committed the offence, would not
that be unconstitutional ? \\ hat is tbe re
sult of tbe law of which complaint is made '!
First considering the petitioner us guilty of
treason he might have been punished with
deatli; but the President has fully pardoned
him, and the effect of this is to restore him
to his rights, civil and political, aud the hold
ing of office as fully as if he bad never com
mitted tlte offence.
To this argument Attorney General Speed
replied in substance as follows:
“As lie understood • the argument, Mr.
Carpenter hud maintained that while in re
bellion against tire United States, Mr. Gar
land was still au officer of this court, with us
much right to it us be had to locomotion and
property. Ou this Mr. .Speed took issue.
There never was a time when Congress did
not prescribe qualifications for office. Tbe
petitioner arrayed himsell with those who
not otdy endeavored to destroy this court,
but the Government itself, and thereby
ceased to be an officer- Could not the power
that made the office destroy it? Judge Mu
grath, who never resigned his place us Judge
of the District Court of South Carolina, but
who to. .k purt in the rebellion, will be re
stored to bis position when he is pardoned by
the President. But lire pardon would not
certainly restore him. Take also the case of
postmasters and officers of the army aud na
vy who participated in the rebellion. Itcer
tertaiuly would not be contended that a par
don would restore to them their offices and
regalia. The proposition is that by his trea
son Mr. Garland did not forfeit his office;
and it is Insisted that the attorney in this
court holds an office. Now, there arc public
aud private officers, tiiere are public and pri
vate corporations, and there are offices es
tablished in the Constitution and also by law.
Is tlie position of au attorney a private or a
public office ? Is it bis private property ? An
attorney is not admitted to the bar for the
purpose of giving him office. Congress has
said that the Court may establish rules, und
iu 17b'' the qualification for the place was
framed os it now stands. Other qualifications
may lie required, such us tbe examination by
a board of the applicants tor admission.
From the teuor of tbe reasoning of tbe At
torney General, Congress baa the power of
prescribing the quilideations of admission to
the bar ot the Supreme Court. Tbe authori
ty of Congress has uever been denied that
this body may judge of the qualifications of
its own members. It is given iu express
terms, but it seems au assumption that it
may prescribe the qualifications of officers of
either ol'the other two departments of the Gov
ernment. If it may do this as regards the
judicial department, what is to prevent it from
prescribing the qualifications of all the ap
pointees to office of the President ? What
is to preclude it from saying that none of the
heads of Departments shall exceed sixty
years of age, or impose auy other qualifica
tion tor Executive office V It is evident that
by virtue of such* power assumed by Con
gress. they would have the right ot imposing
a penally iu the name or guise of a qualifi
cation '< We have no apprehension that such
an assumption of power w ill be permitted by
the Supreme Court, which threatens to con
found the lines of separation between the de
partments The Constitution has invested
the judicial department with the power of
self-protection against the usurpation of Con
gress, of which this is one of the most fla
grant since the origin of t he Government,

Scenes In Mobile.
A Mobile correspondent of the Cincinnati
Gazette says :
"Last Spi iug Mobile Was a city of ruin;
warehouses ruined by “the great explosion;*’
merchants ruined by the war : politicians
mined by the abject defeat: women bankrupt
in heart nnd hope. 1 had not seen it since,
till the olhcl day, emerging from the chaotic.
Ulterior. One rubbed his eyes, as he was
whirled through Ute bustling streets, to be
assured that lie was not deceived By an un
substantial vision. Warehouses were rising,
torpedoes had been removed from the harbor,
and a fleet of sail and steam vessels lined the
repaired wharves. The main thoroughfares
resounded with the rush of business. The
hotels were overflowing. The “new blood
of the South” was of a truth leaping in right
riotous pulsations through the veins ol the
last captured city of the coast.
Everywhere, in the throng of cotton buy
ers, around the recking bars, at the public
tallies, in ttie crowded places ot amusement
—two classes crowded and comtniugled—
Northern speculators and rebel soldier,.
These last come o.t you in every guise. For
example, singld rooms at the hotel were out
ol the question, and I received a jolly fellow
who looked as it he might be magnificent in
a charge—on the breakfast table—as my
room-mate. He turned out to have been a dual
of staff to a couspicuous Southern general.
I fell iuto a conversation with my neighbor
at dinner, which soon drifted from requests
for the mustard into a discussion of the claims
of Southern “members” to seats in Congress.
By and by he casually mentioned that he
hud beeu in the rebel service, which might
interfere with his taking the test oath 1
The personal demeanor ot these gentlemen
is unexceptionable. Formerly a Southerner
was moody, and resenttul ot approaches Irom
Yankee-speaking strangers, unless they
cauie properly introduced. Now he is us
warm and unrestrained without the Intro
duction as be used to be after it. That is
atioul the most marked change out* noticed
on the social Burtaco But there is no abate
meet In the old ambitious preiousioita. Thu
North, we an- told must have the Southern
trade, and with that trade it Is to bu corrupt
ed The North will be politically a power
divided against itself; the Mouth will lie a
unit, Hud will rule again as a always has
ruled.

“New BeuForm, Mass., Nov. 34,1863.
Dear Sir,—l have been afflicted many years with
severe prostrating cramps in my limbs, cold feet and
bunds, and a general disordered system. Physicians
and medicines failed to relieve me. While visiting
some friends in New York who were using Plantation
Bitters, they prevailed upon mo to try them. I com
menced with a small winc-gUsslul alter dinner. Fuel
ing better by degrees, in a lew days I was astonished
to dnd the coldness and cramps had entirely left me,
and I could steep the night through, which i have not
done for years. 1 feel like another being. My appe
tite und strength have also greatly improved by Uie
use of the Plantation Bitters.
Respectfully, Judith RrssFL.”
