The'Census statistics show th'st jn
1850 there were 42,000 white adults
in Georgia who could, neither read
nor write, and it is well known that
those of us who can, dp not knots any
mere than we ought to! With these
facts staring us in the face, we feel
warranted in saying there is a “right
sraarisprinkiing’’ oT ignorance among
the people; and hence, we have for
years past advocated a general sys
tem of common school education,
which wo regard® as of far greater
importance to the future well being
of our beloved State than the tempo

This is the only rcpuiation he enjoys,
and even that seems confined to Jus

fit illustration of modern Democracy
—its disregard of distinguished mer
it, its .contempt of the popular will,
its leveling proclivities, its reckless
ness alike of its own character and
the reputation of the State. It is in

leave the responsibility where it be

election of such men to tile bench
of that Court, as have just been elect

third rate lawyers, where known, can
not fail to produce an impression on
'the public mind unfavorable to fhc
character of the Court for ability and

Tlie Press qf Georgia has done

tend that our brethren of the. Press
shall publish to tlie world an Inaqg-

. u Harper’s Ferry Items.
A Richmond letter in the New
York Herald says:
I am informed to day that it is the
intentipn. to try Cpo)c, the Harper’s
Ferry rebel, in th'c U. S. District
Court for. ihat district. .This course
has been determined upon with a view
to compel the attendance of Seward,
Greeley, WilsOn, Howe and the othel-
outsiders, who are suspected of cbm-
plicity in the lafe insurrection. If,
in the progress of the trial, their gulit
as 1 aiders or abettors shall bft • c strfb-
lished, the probability is that they
will be assigned positions in the dock
beside Cook, and subject to tlie same
ordeal that led to the majority of t hem
being brought forward as witnesses.
The list to be summoned will embrace
every individual, wheresoever lie nifty
repide, whose name has been identifi
ed with this movement in any con-
nfectian^ -hoTterer remote:. As to
their appearance in obedience to- the
summons, that must be presumed as
certain A inasuinch as it is a .question
involving the ability of the, |pdcnil
government to enforce*abedicnce (o
itssu .uione. This is the only means
to insure a full development of the
origin and progress of this movement,
and of,tfee' vc 1 ations to it of the
prominent men of other States, whpse
moral complicity, at least, has-been
ftlfen'dy fixed. It will prove the
most interesting and important trial
