BT CHARLES SWAI.V.
Sure I vc sought the guto so long,
L en the hedges know me :
Lirds laugh at mo in their song—
Streams reflect, and show me !
No. a flower that smiles so sweet
Seems my grief tr soften ;
E en the meadow hates my feet,
I vu been there so often ;
but if e cr i pass this way—
Meet her on a future day—
May I—hush! yet stay, yet stiy !
Don’t I hear her coining ?
Coming ?—no, ’twas but’the trees—
Night and storm are coming j
E en the very wasps and bees
Mock tne with their huiumin’ng !
Vowed she not by all that's just,
All that's true she’d meet ute ?
And tis'thus site wrongs my trust
Aml ‘tis thus shu’d cheat mo !
But if
lu such meshes as the past,
May I—.’tis her step at last !
Now, indeed, she’s coming !
Oh. my love ? my life's delight!
lYeasurc of my being ‘
All my sorrow’s put to flight,
I ltee, my sweet one, seeing !
Yet, how coulJst thou keep me here,
Heart and spirit failing ?
How?—but no, we’ll have no tear—
’J is no time for railing ;
for, despite the wayward freaks,
Still my heart in rapture speaks—
J would stay waiting twenty weeks
But to see tliee coming !
Direct Trade.— The Augusta Constitu
tionalist says:
“Y\ e cannot too strongly express our grat
ification at the suggestion of Gov. Towns that
the {state should extend its aid to private en
terprise in establishing direct commercial
communication between Savunn.-h and for
eign ports. South Carolina has made appro
priations, to ;iid the enterprize of her citi
zens, of a similar character. It will no doubt
redound greatly to the benefit. t‘ the com
merce ami prosperity of Charleston, and in
deed the whole State.
We look upon this to be a question of
vast importance. It is dillicult to eradicate
long established prejudices, and change in
veterate hal its and customs. A helping hand
on the part of the State, would work*won
ders in opening this new road to wealth
and greatness and commercial independence
to Georgia. A hundred thousand dollars,
in appropriating wit ch the State would run
no risk, would give a grand impetus to this
noble undertaking. We are glad to see the
many evidences which have been given, on
every hand that the. people of the South are
awakening to their true interests in this
matter. We wish so see it agitated till the
public heart of this section will throb with
pleasure at the prospect of whitening South
ern ports with the sails of her own extended
commerce founded upon her productions; the
richest and most valuable-upon earth.
“The accomplishment of such a work is
worthy of engaging the most ambitious ef
forts of our Southern capitalists, and men of
practical enterprize and capacity for useful
ness.”
Louisiana Elections. —The Dilla sums up
the late election as far :is heard from thus:
The Whigs have triumphed in the election
for Sheriff; have elected both Senators; and
for the House, have carried eleven members
in the Second Municipality, five in the First,
and two in the third—total, Sheriff, two Sen
ators and eighteen members of the House of
Representatives.
Tin Democrats have carried their Coroner, j
three Representatives in tlie First Municipal
ity and three in the Third, and oiic, John
Hughes, in Algiers, which votes with the city
—making in all seven members of the
House.
The result has astonished both parties. It
will secure a Whig majority in the next Leg
islature, unless the country electors disap

Dem.. has undoubtedly been elected.
In the Second Congressional District, com
posed of the Second Municipality and the
parishes of the coast and Lafourche, J. Aris

been chosen.

Justice.— Mr. Consul Owen in It's note to the
Savannah Republican, published by us some days
since, asks to be heard fully in his own defence,
snviug that while lie seeks nothing from any one’s
mercy, he has a right to justice. Upon this the
Washington Telegraph remarks that the “request
is reasonable, and both mercy and justice unite in
demanding a compliance with it. The sentiments
of horror and indignation have been spontaneous
ly expressed by the American people at the offen
ce #>f which lie is alleged to be guilty; now let ‘
these feelings be silenced as respects the accused,
and let everv American feel that he is a juror and
judge in an fmpertant trial. It may be that the
result will involve the censure of our national Ex
ecutive, and not Mr. Owen; or it may be that
they will both fall under condemnation. Let jus
tice he done!’’ _
Kossuth. — The attacks upon Kossuth are se
verely. hut not too severely rebuked, by the New
York Tribune of yesterday. The most disgrace
ful part of the whole business is, that the worst at
tacks upon Kossuth, after the onslaught of the
London Times, are said to be written from on
board the American steam frigate, the Mississip
pi, by American officers. There is qnite too
much concert in these assaults upon the Magyar
leader; too evident apreparation for a cold recep
tion by our countrymen: not to be the result eith- ;
cr of the cold-blooded malignity of the despots of
Europe, who fear, while they hate him. We hope
the American press will denounce this most per
nicious combination as it deserves,
j Pennsylxanian.
Unionism in New York did not seem
to work so well in the late elections, for it
seems that that part of the whig ticket sup
ported bv the Unionists in the minority by
about 500 votes, and the residue is beaten by
10J.
l : W° Numbers of steamboatmen arc at
New Orleans, and have been for some time,
writing for the upper rivers to rise suffieent
]y to enable them to resume their usual em
ployment. The Mississippi has not been
known to be so low as it is at present, towards
the OflSo, for many years. Usually at this
season of the year, the large up river boats
are running, and doing a heavy business in
bringing down Western produce. Old steam
boatmen say they have rarely known the
Mississippi, Ohio, and other main rivers to
be, at this period of the fall, in so unbeatable
a condition,
The Great Indian Councjl.—Mr. Cham
bers of the St. Louis Republican, accompa
nied Col. Mitehel to the plains, where a trea
ty with the Indians was concluded. Mr. C.

history of the expedition, and incidents con

“THE UNION OF THE STATES AND THE SO V K REIGNTY OF THE STATES.”
COLUMBUS, GEORGIA,
[WJEEB6.SLY,]
ffEI)NE - SI)AT MORNING, NOV. 12, 1851.
THE FUTURE.
We took an early occasion after the late
Georgia election, to express our clear aud
decided opinion that, the Southern Rights
Party as a seperate and independent seetionul
organization, ought to be dissolved. This
opinion was founded on two considerations,
j which wo propose, here, not to argue, but
: simply to state: The first was that the is
sues made by the >S. Rights party, and which
! indeed, gave it existence, had been decided,
j beyond the hope of reversal against that par
ity, by an overwhelming popular vote, in ee
jry Southern State. Called into being to re
j sist the compromise, tlie idea of resistance
has become a chimera, in which only * vis
: iona<y enthusiasm can indulge. The *niun
j on the terms ol the compromise, is itupregna
| ail d although wc have been unfaltering
in our belief, that the union could have been
maintained on better terms, than the compro
mise gave to the South; yet the people of the
South have so feared a distruetiou of the
confederacy, that they would not pat it iu
jeopardy, by insisting on their rights. Son
thero Lights men are obliged to acquiesce in
this decision—they are obliged to admit that
it is irreversible; and a continued struggle,
is but a vain aud bootless “kicking against
lh i pricks.” Not only is it useless, but the
idea in our judgement, of a protracted strug
gle involves our second consideration, for the
opinion iu favor of disbanding-.
It is, that such a struggle would not only
bo fruit.ess oi good, but absolutely injurious
to the cause of the South. Thegreat dosid
j oration with every Southern patriot has been
; Southern union. .In that union every intelli
gent man has seen a power in superabund
ance, to protect our rights against aggress
ions. The victorious party throughout the
Louth, iu the late contest, have laid down a
line of resistance, which they say they arc
! willing to stand to, and which they are sol
emnly pledged to stand to; and while Soutli
ern Rights men may think it a lower one
that right and justice demand, still it is a
line of resistance —it is a good fighting line
~* L i- s il disruption line, it is a disolution
lino, so far as future aggressions are con
cerned. Now, if the Constitutional Union
party is honest and in earnest, the South can
be united for future resistance, on the ground
of the 4th Resolution of the “Georgia Plat
form— ’ whether they will staul there, when
the clouds of aggression again lower, when
the guns again begin to flash, is a question
fie- future determination. We are in favor
ot trying them; we are in favor of joining our
standards and presenting an undivided front
to the Abolition advance, saying “thus far
shalt thou come and no farther!”
If the Southern Rights Party maintains its
organization, or maintains a prolonged and
hopeless contest, it will have the assured and
pernicious effect, of rendering the union
party more unionish, more Northern, and
wcfeai Riore tree-soil, at every suscessive
shock of contest at the polls. The tenden
cy of parties, when opposed, is to run into
extremes. We have seen examples enough
of this—one instance will suffice in illustra
tion. The old State Rights party of Geor
gia of 1-.J2 that once tried to break up the
union, on *i question of duties on imports,
having taken the national name of Whig,
was speedily converted into a Tariff"-party and
held its hand in nearly every Southern State,
in argument on a question about which,
there were not two opinions only a few years
. before.
of the way, give them all the oflieo.s without
hindrance, and remove every temptation to
blink the rights of the South, in the hot pur
| suit of party triumphs. We must plant
J ourselves on their platform of resistance, and
1 make that the common point d'appui of fu
ture action.
Another thing hns been decided by the peo.
[tie ot the South, and the Southotn Rights
party is bound to be governed bv that impreg
nable fact—it is that our rights are to be
maintained, if at all, in the. Union, In the
Uni n, therefore, we must continue the fight
in their defence, or we must surrender them
at discretion. We are for keeping up the
-fight. Driven from one position, we are pre
pared to take another. Beaten at one bas
tion, we are for manning the next best de
fensible. A captain and crew who hid been
forced by stress of storm or battle to abair
don their stout ship, would do—wlnt? surely
not leap into the ocean of despair, but take
to their boats, which though frail in compari
son with their noble vessel of oak and iron,
were the next best resorts for safety and vic
tory. The Soulhern Rights p.nrtv, routed
from their ship of resistance to the compro
mise, must not remain onboard to be cngulph
ed, nor yet leap into the sea, but must take
to the Democratic life boat, which though a
rail cockle-shell to outride the tempest tossed
sea, yet affords the best and only hope of
security.
Having to fight this battle in the Union, we arc
forced to do it, in company with one of tlic two
great parties of the Union. In the choice of our
allies, there is happily no difficulty. While ob
liged to admit that neither of the two National
parties are what we would have them, it is easy to
perceive that there is a vast disparity in the degree
oj their unsoundness and infidelity to tho constitu
tion and the Rights of the States. The Whig par
ty is dead. In Georgia it has neither friend nor
apologist—no kind hand even to write its epitaph
cto drop a tear over its rotten carcass. It never
was indiginous to Southern soil. It was a Boston
party from the beginning, and the South had
neither sympathy nor interest injts principles. It
has been weighed and found wanting—it has per
ished in the rank odor of its bad principles—it has
been defeated on every measure of public policy,
in the administration of the Federal Government,
except the one to which it has last tied itself—abo
itionism—its creed is obsolete; its character effete,
its damnation complete. It has now played its
last card and staked its all on the question of abo
litionism. Let the South unite to meet and de
fort H there. The Democrafio party of the Un-
ion has always been the Constitutional party. It
wavered, it faltered, in many places, it was con
quered before the overpowering free soil blast that
swept over the Free States. But still, it has nev
er wholly surrendered. Paulding, Dallas, Buch
| attau aud Stockton, and other brava men, have
stiil held the standard aloft and mover caused to
wave it as a rallyiug point to the Northern hordes,
1 torn and distracted by the distemper of fanaticism.
La recent elections this party has exhibited tuani
lest symptoms ot a psrpose to fight the Presiden
tial battle on the basis of the inviolability and final
ity ot the compromise as a settlement. We sav
lot the whole South come up t* strengthen their
bauds in the execution of this purpose. Having
failed to make a sectional party to defend the
Somth, lot ns see if we caunot form a National
party, that will force the observance of the com
promise in good faith, in letter and in spirit.
e advise, therefore, that the Southern Rights
party a&ito with ail of the Constitutional Union
party, who are willing to stand by the Georgia
Platform and send Delegates to the Baltimore
Convention to construct a National Platform and
nominate National candidates, true aud faithful
to the compromise—candidates pledged to main
tain it, and to stake the issue of the Union itself,
on the spirit of that compromise, to-wit: that it
shall be, as it’purports to be, a final settlement of
the vexed question. If this cannot be done, no
human power can keep tho States together many
years longer, except at the price of a sweeping act
of African emancipation throughout tho South.
JOHN W. FORNEY.
This gentleman, the talented editor of tho
Pennsylvanian, will, we understand, be
brought forward by his friends us the Demo
cratic candidate for Clerk of the House of
Representatives in Congress.
Mr. Forney has our best wishes for his
success. lie is one of the few public men
of the North, who has been steadfast in the
maintenance of the constitutional rights of
the South. lie has fought Abolition and
Free Soilism in all their shapes and phases,
and probably no one man has done more to
contribute to the defeat of Johnston the can
didate of the “higher law” whigs, than Mr.
Forney.
It is true that Mr. Forney, has advocated
adherence to the Compromise as a final set
tlement of tho slavery agitation in Congress.
Asa Northern man, Mr. F. could do no less
than this. The compromise being passed by
Southern votes, &.|acquiescod iu by the whole
South ; it has become tlie test of fidelity to
the South at tlie North to maintain it as a fi
nality.
Even we fire-eaters are compelled to ad
mit, it, and submit to it as a settlement, and to
plant all our batteries of resistance on the
contingency of its violation hereafter. Mr
Forney stands honorably in the ranks of the
distinguished men at the north, who soaring
above the clamors of fanaticism, have ma!nt. in
ed tlie rights of the States of the South, to
manage their own affai sand to immunity from
Northern or Congressional aggressions.
lie stands with Paulding, Dallas, Buchan
an, Stockton, and a few’ others—men who
have maintained our cause in the hour when
our foes were most numerous and malignant,
and when even there was quailing and defec
tion in the home of its Southern friends.
We desire to see a Democratic Speaker,
and a Democratic Clerk of the House, and no
Northern Democrat is more worthy of a hear
ty Southern support than John W. Forney.
CUBA.
Tlie imprisonment of Mr. Thrasher, the Amer
ican gentleman who took so active an interest in
tho prisoners of the Lopez expedition is exciting
tlie public attention. It is said that this gentle
fur no other offence than his generous attif Will'll! 1
hearted sympathy for his distressed countrymen—
and that after open’ng his letters, dogging Ins
heels with police men, the Concha Government
has been’able to fix no charge of crime upon him.
lie is thrown into prison on a bare Spanish suspi
cion, and bccausejhe is deemed a dangerous person
to be at htrge, on account of his sympathy with
the sufferings of tlie victims of brutal Spanish ven
geance. At last accounts it was feared by Mr.
Thrasher's friends that he would be condemned
to the mines for 10 years, and even the garrote had
been darkly hinted at.
Mr. Thrasher lias been a resident of Havana
for a number of years—-he was tho editor of a pa
per in that city, which early in tho history of the
Lopez movement was suppressed by the Govern
ment to his great pecuniary damage. Whether
Mr. Thrasher has expatriated himself or is still an
American citizen, we do not know. If he is enti
tled to the protection of this Government, he
ought to have it at the risk of every thing. He
has been several weeks in his dungeon, and wc
do not yet hear of the first movement of the ad
ministration in his behalf. Ilad he been an En
glishman. a British fleet would already have been
on its way to rescue him. Not so with our Gov
ernment. Its pusillanimity in the defence of its
citizens ha* become a bye word and reproach
throughout the world. For f before the
Mexican war, American citizens were obliged to
travel under British protection in that country. —
Two of the Lopez prisoners, Americans,
obtained their release from Ihc fangs of Con
cha, bv passing themselves off for British
subjects. This “glorious Union” is becom
ing contemptible by its cowardly weakness
in this regard. The ought, with
out a moment’s delay, to despatch an over
powering force to Cuba, probe this case to
the bottom &- if Thrasher is an American citi
zen take him, if Havana had to be'rased to the
ground to do it. An example of the will and
pftwer of this Government to protect its citi
zens from foreign insolence and tyranny is
a crying need, and the sooner it is furnished
the better.
We hope the press will speak out on this
subject, and if Mr, Fillmore has not got the
nerv : to do his duty, that Congress will take
the matter in hand and exhibit the “stripes
and stars” as good for something else besides
over-awing the Southern States of this Un
ion.

THE GEORGIA MILITARY INSTITUTE
We invite attention to the article on this sub
ject, copied from Augusta Constitutionalist &
Republic, written for that paper by a highly accom
plished scholar anil soldier. Having two sons at
this institution, wa have anxiously, and narrowly
watched its inception and progress. Tho discip
line and course of study, aro tnodellwd on'tho i.d
mirable system of tho U. S. Military Academy, at
West Point,as nearly as is practicable in a State In
stitution. Maj. Brumby, tho principal is a gradu
ate of West Point, and distinguished alike for his
scientific attainments, and his high-toned character
as a gentleman. We should rejoice to see the
school taken under tho patronage of the State, and
fostered into eminence aud usefulness, as a South
ern school of soldiers and practical scientific schol
ars. Tho course of study is different from any
other school in Georgia. The dead languages are
dispensed with altogether, and intheirplace is sub
stituted tlie French, (the tongue of the best scien
tific authors.) and that course of study which pre
pares young men for a career of practical useful
ness, in the professions of engineering, architecture
and mechanics, Ac. This is the kind of education
for this utilitarian age. Tho awakening enterprise
of the South—her active movements in tlie de
velopment of her physical resources are opening
new and wide fields for practical scientific knowl
edge. We would see Georgia sustaining an insti
tution that can educate her own surveyors, engi
neets, architects and machinists, instead of import
ing them from tho North, as we aro now obliged
to do, for every new railway or factory that is
opened. In a military point of view, too, tho
State can derive more benefit from a single school
like this, then from all tho obsolete stuff iu the
shape of militia acts, that now encumber her
Statute Books. In peace, this school will furnish
practical and useful citizens, and in war, skillful
officers, to train tho militia in the use of arms, and
tho art of war.
Florida. —Gov. Brown, of Florida, lias writ
ten a letter to W. G. M. Davis, Esq., of tlie Apa
lachicola Advertiser, in answer to an enquiry as to
what ought to be the course of the Whigs of that
Siate, in reference to the Presidential election. —
His advice is to hold a National Union Conven
tion to nominate candidates for the Presidency and
Vice Presidency, and failing in that, to send dele
gates to a National Whig] Convention, with in
structions to withdraw, if the Compromise, and
particularly the Fugitive Slave Law, are not dis
tinctly endors;d and approved. If his excellency
sticks to that in good faith, he will in all proba
bility, be forced to withhold his support from the
candidates of any National party.
*Cov. Brown and the Florida,, Whigs may as
well save themselves the trouble of a trip to the
Whig National Convention, if their purpose is to
withdraw the ‘if convention does not endorse
[lie compromise and the Fugitive Low. That
convention will never do it. W e are supported
in this opinion by the Now York .Time?, the new
free soil Whig paper'which has suddenly jumped
nto a full grown existence under the powerful im
pulse of Wliig.capital. It discourses in the follow
ing flattering style of tho Southern Wh : gs. !t
does not bclievo that the Whig convention would
dream of adopting the Brown platform; anil if it
refused, that the Whigs of the South would se
“ Gov Brown, a His(mgul , .-!!i( l u siiuim.un
is counseling tho whips of southern states to send
delegates to the National Convention, not to ac
quiesce in what a majority of tho whips of the na
tion may d<> when they get there, but to exact cer
tain pledges, or secede. lie advises them to sub
mit a resolution pledging the whig Presidential
nominee against any modification of the Fugitive
Slave law, and in ease of its rejection, to withdraw.
It seemed to us not at all improper or impertinent
to express the belief, which we very deeply enter
tain, that this advice, if followed, will blow the
whig party to atoms. “VY e may possibly be sin
gnlar in this opinion; but wc havetormed it in tho
diligent exercise of what little power of observation
wc arc blessed with : and wo venture to say that
the Register will not pronounce it utterly unrea
sonable. Wc don’t think that it believes, in the
first place, that .any such resolution could be adopt
ed in convention, or that, if it should bo rejected,
.and the Southern delegates should thereupon se
cede, the whig party could remain united.”
Alabama. —Old party lines are broadly drawn
in this State. In the organization of the Iwo
Houses of the Legislature, the W legs having a
majority in the Senate, elected straight-out Whigs
for all tho offices. In the lowesj louse, the Dem
ocrats having the majority, did likewise. The
Constitutional Union party having had its day,
.and effected its purposes, is fast fading out of exis
tence.
Mississippi Election. —The following from
the N. O. True Delta is the latest intelli
gence from the Mississippi election. If it he
correct, it will he seen that Gen. Foote has
escaped defeat by the skin of his teeth.
The result speaks well for the strength of
Col. Jefferson Davis.

MEXICO.
The revolt under Carvajal in Northern Mex
ico is still progressing. At latest dates, the
Insurgents were in possession of Fort Paredes
and the market Plaza Fat Matamoras, while
Gen. Avalos leader of the Government troops
held the principal Plaza—thc\fighting was
kept up daily. Brownsville on the Texas
side of the River was in great excitement and
the American commander-of the post had his
hands full in an ineffectual attempt to keep
Americans from crossing over to join in the

I NUMBER 46.

The Georgia a* Marietta.
This Institution is the first of its Irina
that an attempt has beeu made to es
tablish in the State; and, considering
the particular necessity lor it in Geor
gia, full of varied resources, requiring
scientific men to direct their develop
ment, and in view of the many advan
tages presented for education’ over or
liuary colleges, it niora atteo
liou bv the press thau has yet been be
stowed on it.
In a few all that may bs
propeilr compassed in a newspaper
article,! will bring to your notice some
account of its origin, its condition and
prospects, and the guaranty yet deman
ded to secure to it permanency and the
utmost efficiency.
The sheme originated withMaj. A. V.
Brumby, who has labored a couple of
years forits accomplishment. Unable,
with his own means, to carry out the
design, he had recourse to the system
of association, and public spirited citi
zens in and around Marietta', respond
ed. His recommendations were adopt
ed—money was contributed—a beauti
ful site was purchased—buildings were
erected—professors chosen —and in Ju
ly “last the Academy was opened with
promise of success. There are now
about 40 Cadets, mainly from Georgia,
but several are from the adjoining States.
There are not yet accommodations
lor more than sixty scholars, and addi
tional means must be collected for the
extention, since it is all-important to
effective control, thaithe Cadets should
mess and lodge together. Additonal
means are also required to furnish a li
brary, chemical and philosophical la
boratory and apparatus, models, l:a.
&. The course of studies, and the rules
of discipline, prescribed for the United
States Military Academy at West Point
have been adopted. The entire estab
lishment's owned by stockholders, and is
under the direction of a Board of Trus
tees.
Major Brumby is the Superintendant,
and instructs also in some of the higher
branches, lie entered West Point from
the State of North Carolina—graduated
with distinction in 1835—was subsequen
tly Prolessor of Mathematics, Ac., in.the
University of Alabama, and recently in
charge of a similar institution to the one
at Marietta. lie is not only competent
by eminent ability; and peculiar taste,
for the present position, but is farther
aided by ample experience, and by a
character of piety and appioved habits
of conduct, llis assistants, I have learn
ed, are entirety capable in their sever
al departments.
The location at Merietta was well
selected. It is near enough to the heart
of the State —Is acessible by Rail-Road,
and in a bracing and healthful climate.
While sufficient society is afforded to
enliven tho hours of recreation, and aid
in lorming the manners, the small town
precludes the opportunites and the
temptations to dissipation and extrava
gance, even if the stringent regulations
in these respects did not entirely pro
hibit such indulgences. The Academy
is three-quarters of a mile distant—on
an elevated eminence, which, com
manding a wide view of the surrounding
country, with its varied scenery of
mountain and valley and plain, might
entitle it to the appellation of the West
Point of Georgia.
If, as Bacon says, “the object of elu
cation be knowledge, and the improve
ment of the body and the mind,” no
other system, it would seem, is so well
adapted to attain it as this. The former
will be necessarily obtained. The re
citations are regular, and are rigidly
exacted. Absence is not allowed, ex
cept in cases of sickness, and this sick
ness is to be pronounced by a physician.
Besides, each Cadet in the section
rooms, is required to recite upon the
lesson. No one passed over, as in many
Colleges. There, in too many instan
ces, the youth knows on what days he
will be called up—rarely consecutive
ly—he even knows what portions of the
lesson will fall to him, and he’studies
acordingly. Here it is altogether dif
ferent, and thus idleness; with its host
of concomitants, utterly prevented.—
The daily military exercises will insure
,i.„ I-.*—. filiation.” The
carnage, is inured to fatigue, ami con-”
sequently rendered robust and healthy
while the observance of strict impartial
ity—the equality of clothing, fare, and
as far as practicable of pecuniary re
sources—the sameness of duties and re
creations, “andjthesystematic graduation
of studies inspire, as at the model of
West Point, an esprit du crops; which
elevates the tone of character that its
eleves in general, would maintain
through all their alter pursuits and con
duct in life.
What is taught here will be thorough
ly learned. An examination cannot be
passed without full and accurate ac
quaintance of the studies. No mere
smattering—no superficial ideas, will be
tolerated. Those who remain must
learn, —and those who cannot, or will
not learn, will not be permitted to re
main. Thus the native intellect ot each
will be forced to its legitimate develop
ment. Under such a system, the stand
ard of education would be raised. The
sliding through College, with scarcely
opening a boek, would be checked. —
The scientific avocation in the growing
state of Georgia, with so many resour
ces, demanding men of knowledge and
energy to expose and improve them,
would be filled by competent persons,
and those not imported for the purpose,
but the growth or her own soil proving
themselves the ornaments of her instit
utions, while demonstrating the utility
of an improved plan of mental cultiva
tions. West Point graduates may be
found in all the pursuits requiring a
high degree of mental discipline and
profound practical attainments, and
they arc eagerly sought, all over the
country, as the very best directors in
nearly all enterprises that exact these
qualifications. With proper encourage
ment, Marietta will turn out men equal
ly valuable; and it is for the Legislature
of Georgia to determine whether the
State must continue to look mainly
abroad for men of science, or will foster
a nursery—a seminary for them, within
her own borders.
The military studies—and these really in
elude all science and much of art—are appe
nd here, for additional purposes to those, and
to bodily exercise. They may not indeed, be
equired for offensive or defensive objects, i
But they still constitute a noble branch of •
learning: they cultivate the spirit of a people;
its pride and energy—they strengthen char
acter, bv heightening the moral and fncntal
tone;, while,lf Machiavelli is correct, that
“there are no sinews in war, but the sinews
and muscles of men’s arms,” they furnish en
lightened directors’ of those sinews in war;
and in peace, ins; ire courage, hardiness and
emulation, in all its pursuits. The gi eat em
pires of the world, the Persian, the Roman
subsisted only while the martial virti es flour
ished in vigor. When these were ext inguish
ed by corruption, the people sank into sloth*
fulness and servitude. Said the “wisest of

—The Washingt on correspondent of the Chai

has got hack to his place, and engaged with tho
Cuba business. IJe says that there is no doubt
that the prisoners wi'l be released and tho whole
affair, for the present, amicably settled. All that
the governments of Kugl md and France did, iu
relation to the last invation of Cuba, was to ordor
their naval forces on the West India station to pro
tect the island frora invasion. They sent no fleets
to scour Cue coasts of tho United States, as has been
assorted. Even such orders as were given, wer©
unnecessary and likely to produce i: -'tation on
the part o; the people of tho United States, and
Mr. Crittenden, in hri dispatches, which have
been so much tallied of, so represented the mat
ter.
Tho writer represents it to bo tho impression
that a general war is about to occur in Europe.-
lie says:
Should a general war in Europe occur, after a
short time, as ail the political prophets foretell, Cu
ba may besiezed upon by Jfngkind or France.—
All guarantees as to the ownership of Cuba will
be considered as abrogated, and tbe United States
will, from necessity, interfere and take the island
under their control. The prospect that such will
be the course of events is so plain, that oir gov
ernment would do well to endeavor to avoid a war
by purchasing Cuba. Spain would no doubt re
fuse to s 11 it, under present circumstances, but
such an oiler might very properly accompany any
further declaration which we may make of an in
