Friday. it* mum a i»* u- For Commercial Intelligence ace Fourth Page. * 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. CIIARLEgTON ANP SaVANKAH K.

Stages are now running between the preseut terminus of the road and Walterboro’ Medical Dibectok op the Department By an inadvertancc we have before neglected I to meDtion the arrival of Brevet Colonel John as Medical Director of the Depart- Bk ment of Georgia, Gen.

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."

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, GRAHAM CRACKERS, AT STUART A CO.’S 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.
