THE DAILY TIMES. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, Southern Education for Southern Youth. We have perused with no little delight, a recent address of the Hon. William 11. Stiles before the Cherokee Baptist College on the above theme,— Filled with rich classical illusions, the question is discussed with ability and animation. It cannot be doubted, that the subject of education is engag ing the minds of the people of Georgia more than at any previous period. The fact that the State Road is paying handsome dividends into the trea sury has directed public attention towards the dis position which should be made of the surplus reve nue and no enterprise speaks louder for btate in terposition than that of education. All agree as to its importance and the only difficulty lies in maturing a plan which will command success.— For ourselves, we have long since dispaired the completion of a Common School system, so widely different are the views of the people and so impracticable is the idea, and have turned our at tention towards a University Education. We be lieve a plan could be developed, which would not only carry the means of high Intellectual ad vancement to the door of every humble cottager, but would reflect honor and credit upon the law making power of the State. We will not stop to inquire into the great advantages that willa ccrue from the endowment of a University in Georgia. Let it suffice to say, that the growing wants of advancing society demand it—that the increasing spirit of sectionalism warns Southern parents a gainst the adulterated streams of knowledge which low from the doors of Northern Colleges—that the strongest bond of union which binds a man to his native land is that ol education—that no influ ences so wean his affections from his home as the attachments made and associations formed in a distant country whose institutions are inimicable to his own—that Georgia has the ability and pow er to build up an institution suited to the progress of the age/where Southern youths may attain the maximum of Scholarship—a University which would give education at the South an independer < ty of the North— a University.which would com plete the great system of Educational agency ot which the College and Academy are respectively integral parts—a University, whose graduates, Georgia could point to with pride, as Cornelia to her children, as her jewels. Then let us remove all obstacles in the way of so grand an achievement. Let us no longer hold the doors of the State Treasury .with “hooks of eteel,” when so mighty a project is within our reach. Let one months earning’s of the State Road or the interest on the purchase money for which the whole or a part of it is sold be appropri ated annually for this glorious enterprise. Let tuition be free, so that the humblest may compete with the richest boy in the race for worldly honors and golden prizes. Let the genius of learning no longer sit on her mountain throne, but let her be courted and wooed, that literature and science may comedown and walk radiant with truth and loveliness through every grade of the communi ty. Such an enterprise we would advocate with all the zeal aud ability with which we are possessed on the Legislature. And such an enterprise, if successful would be a monument to the wisdom of the peopl e of Georgia. The Gable. According to the New York Heraldihe regalar opening of the Atlantic Telegraph will not be delayed beyond the first of October. At the last accounts. Professor Hughes had two instruments with him in London, and was preparing to leave with one of them for Trinity Bay. It was ar ranged that the cable company should send a special steamer from Liveepool to Trinity Bay on or about the 10th of this month, to convey the Professor and his assistants, with all necessary instruments and other fixtures for working the ca ble. He will arrive there about the 20th or 25ih of the month, and will of course require a few days for preparation and the adjustment of the machinery. This will occupy him until the 28th of September, or perhaps to the Ist of October, but certainly not longer. If, therefore, ho suc ceeds in his calculations, we may count upon be ing placed in the full enjoyment of the fruits of his labors by tbe latter date. The Caloric Engine —Ericsson’s caloric en gine is entirely successful, as high as five horse power. It is becoming extensively used fo r do mestic purposes, and being free from danger, easi ly managed,cheap, and requiring very little fuel, is frequently preferred to the steam engine. A Letter from “Looker On.” We give place in our columns to-day, to the communication of our esteemed friend “Looker on.” The remark to which he refers “that Steph ens is no better than Douglas,” was first made by this paper. It was made on the hypothesis that Mr. Stephens said what he was reported by a Cincinnatti paper to have declared, to-wit.* “that he was in favonof the re-election of Judge Doug las to the Senate of the United States.” At that time it was generally supposed that an Adminis tration, Lecompton ticket for Senator would be brought out in Illinois; and hence, while doubt ing the authority of the rumor, we had the right to infer that the remark, if made, was an expres sion of preference for Douglas over any and all opposition. The truth, however, being as stated by our correspondent tfiat Mr. Stephens preferred Douglas only in the event that the race was con fined to Douglas and Lincoln, we could not be supposed to have intended to class him with Mr. Douglass tor that opinion. Fever in Mobile. The following report shows that the yellow fever is on the increase and affords very clear evi dence that it is becoming epidemic. On yester day there was a very brisk breeze from the east ward and northward, while the skies were over* cast by sweeping clouds which afforded occasion al showers’ Tbe atmosphere was temperate and gave no indication of causes of disease. The spread ot the disease, therefore, is owing to its own peculiar but unknown modes of progression. Both the thermal and meteorological condition of the air are as favorable, apparently, to health as possible; yet the great and almost only maledy of our community is upon us. Office of the Board of health, ) September 14th, 6 o’clock, F. M. ) Twelve cases of yellow fever have been report ed to the Board within the last twenty-four hours R. Miller, M. D., Sec. pro. tern.—-Mobile Reg * ister. The democratic nominee for Governor of N Y Amassa J Parker,Jwas defeated, two years since by the present incumbent. FOR THE TIMES. September 14th, 1858. Messrs. Editors : I was glad to receive, a few days ago, the “ Daily Times ’ in place of the Tn-Weekly “Times & Senti nel,” and from the neat and sprightly ap pearance of the “Times” together with the evident increased watchfulness and labor expended in its management, I cannot but hope you will be amply compensated for the change, —I am sure you deserve it. I must say. too, that I atn also gratified to see that you have “ignored” the subject of“ Douglas and Illinois politics,” except so far as to give the news in relation to the same, as it is passing. With all due respect to the opinions of various Editors of the Democratic press, I must say, that, I think they have wasted a vast deal of ink within the past few T weeks, with very little good or profit to their own principles, their cause or their party, in writing so much about the imputations of their “enemy,” if they were untrue. It did not seem to these gentlemen, that if any prominent public man commences the system of no ticing and denying the false stories, related upon him, of any or every irresponsible newspaper Editor or writer, that may choose to manufacture them, that he would soon have his hands full, and that he might as well give up his attention to public business or his own private affairs, for there are plenty of rascals in this world to keep him busy in correcting these false hoods, and who would thus draw him off from usefulness. Nor did it seem to occur to these Editors, that, if a distinguished gentleman once commences this practice, he must keep it up, else when he stops it may be supposed that the most outrageous stories are true, because he does not deny them. Then, how unjust was it towards a friend, to publicly call upon or expect Mr. Stephens to notice a story got up by an Illinois Editor, whose character we know nothing about, cfc. Is it not trifling with the character and position of that friend thus to treat him ? I think it is. Mr. Stephens’ name and opinions in re lation to Mr. Douglas and the Illinois elec tion, were spread before the public and misrepresented through the givings out of his enemies. He has not, from first to last, said anythin; or authorized any of his friends to come out in the newspapers as to his opinions upon this subject, simply because, (as I have every reason to believe) he does not consider it proper for him thus to come before the public and meddle with the matter. While on a visit to the Wes tern and Northern States, this summer, he refused to have anything to do with the local politics in these States—he refused to make speeches, or to express himself pub licly in any way. And was not this all proper and right ? But while on a visit to Chicago, on private business, upon being asked by his friends, in private conversa tion, how he felt towards Mr. Douglas, his reply (according to the Illinois Herald , Ad ministration paper) was, that “he would prefer Douglas to Lincoln, but would pre fer a good Democrat to either.” And having been thus drawn out, could he or any other, the most intensely Southern man, have made a better reply ? Never theless, out of* this remark the enemy mis represented him, and misrepresented him further, by representing him as saying the administration, in opposing Douglas, were acting “wickedly foolish,” a remark that he most certainly did not make. Then, 1 re peat, have not many of our Demueratic friends done Mr. Stephens injustice in con necting his name so much with this Doug las controversy, when he, himself, both in Illinois and in Chicago, has tried so hard to keep out of it ? I think they have. That Mr. Stephens may prefer Mr. Douglas’ election to that of Mr. Lincoln, the oul-and-out Abolitionist, is not strange.— Other Democrats, well known for their de votion to Democratic principles, and to Southern Rights, have expressed a similar preference—among this number is Senator Green of Missouri and Mr. Orr of South Carolina. And more recently, I find the Hon. M. S. Bonham, the gentleman who was so intensely Southern, that together with Gen. Quitman, he would not vote for the English bill—expressing a similar pref erence. In a speech delivered by him at a meeting of his constituents on the 2d inst., wherein he gives his reasons for voting against the English Conference Bill, and after endorsing Mr. Buchanan, and saying the course ot President Buchanan last win ter, after the dismissal of Walker, was all the South could ask” &c., he thus speaks of the election in Illinois, viz : The election for Senator in Illinois ex cites general interest. Could Judge Breese, who is said j to be an Administration Le compton Democrat, be elected, it might be desired. But running two democratic tick ets before the people may give the Black Re publicans a majority on joint ballot of the Legislature. As between a Black Republi can who says all free States and down with the Supreme Court and the Dred Scott decision, and Judge Douglas , who, how ever wrong he was on the Kansas question manfully opposes those views, we can but prefer the success of the latter. And for this expression o'* a preference of Douglas, over Lincoln, which is similar to the language of Mr- Stephens on the part of Mr. Bonham, do you really think, Messrs. Editors, that Mr. Bonham is “no better than Douglas !” I hardly think you have such views. There is a very wide difference between preferring the election of Mr. Douglas to that of Air. Lincoln, and the endorsement of Air. Douglas’ past course on this Kansas matter. Air. Wise may be said to be “no better than Douglas,” be cause he is nol only Douglas’ supporter now, but he endorsed Douglas Kansas views, and his course,” last winter, &c.— On the contrary, Messrs. Green, Stephens and Bonham, not only did not endorse Douglas’ views or approve his course, but they did all they could to defeat him and they still condemn his course—and I am sure you did not intend your remarks made in response to the Savannah Republican , sometime since, to be construed as the op position presses have construed them. I do not wish to be understood as being a Douglas man—on the contrary, I am far from it. He was once ray favorite above all others out of Georgia, but he flinched last winter, and it will take many years of most devoted service to the good of the country, and the Democratic party, for him ever to get back near the position he once occupied in my estimation—l don’t think he can ever occupy the same place again. I care nothing for him, at this time, then, except so far as we may be able to use him! Bad as he is he is preferable to Crittenden or Bell, Southern men, but I never wish to see the day when the South will have to take any such men to rule over them. Although ihen, at this lime, I have not, myself, any care or preference in this Douglas and Lin coln matter, because I am not sure as to what course Douglas will hereafter pursue ‘owards the Democratic party ; still, as I see Southern Americans lauding to the skies Crittenden, Bell, Alarshall and others, who are not as good as Douglas, and as I do not see that any of them are quarrelling with each other about their preferetices—as I see the opposition to the Democracy throughout the country arranging to coal esce in 1860 to defeat the Democracy and put a Black Republican, in principle, if not in name, in the Presidential chair, and as we may need, and want Douglas and his followers to aid us in whipping out this coalition, Njrth and South, I can but deem all this sick-spelling in Georgia, as to who of the Democrats in Georgia prefer Douglas over Lincoln or Lincoln over Dou glas, as childish and worse than a humbug, —for it can have no good effect, but may work harm in the future. Therefore, I cannot but be gratified that you have ig nored the subject, and I trust all others will do likewise. And as there is a perplex ity with some to determine who we ought to prefer, and as there is no principle in volved in the matter—let us all agree, that it is immaterial who prefers Douglas over Lincoln or Lincoln over Douglas or who is *• on the fence.” And let us agree, that, so long as Democrats support the Admin istration, and abide by the usages of the artv and support its nominees, they are our brothers and we will have no dispute with them! Let our friends do this, and our Ameri can friends will soon have something to do. besides lauphmg at the “ troubles of the Democracy.” Yours Fraternally, LOOKER ON. From the Richmond South, Sept. 13. An Anti-Slavery Candidate for Gover nor in Virginia. The New York Evening Rost attaches the above startling caption to the following ridiculous manifesto: To the people of Virginia: I hereby proclaim myself a candidate for the office of Governor of the State of Virginia, and shall urge, with whatever ability I possess, the wisdom of accepting one hundred mils lions of acres of the public land, the money accruing therefrom to be applied to the gradual extinction of slavery, by purchas ing the young slaves, and their migration beyond the United States. Had Virginia applied the hundred millions of acres that she gave to the United States in 1787, to this purpose, the banks of her majestic rivers would now be teeming with a thrifty white population, and strewn with cities, villages and cottages. She would (among all of the States of the Federal Union) have been first in agriculture, first in com merce, aud first in manufactures. Give me but a fair field to combat my rivals—l ask no other favor—and the triumph shall be mine. Your servant, ever faithful and true, HENRY ABRAAI. The Post informs us that this card ap pears among the advertising columns of a Richmond paper—we presume the Dis patch. It is evidently a hoax. We have never heard of any such individual as Air. Henry Abram. If* such a person exists, he is a lunatic. The Post may be assured that if Mr. Henry Abram or Mr. Anybody* else ventures to canvass Virginia for any such purpose as is indicated in the above proclamation, he will be brought to a sud den and sharp settlement. The Leaguers. Mr. Yancey’s letter to the Richmond South. We find in a late number of the Rich mond Enquirer, a letter from Mr. Yancey to Mr. Pryor, the Editor of the Richmond South, vindicating the principles and ob jects of the Leagues, against the attacks of the latter. Mr. Pryor has charged that the League is a movement of the Know Nothings and disaffected democrats, to over throw the democratic party , is a prema ture blow against the integrity of the Union ; and is based upon a policy insult ing to Virginia and the other border States. Without assuming to advocate the cause of the League, we are satisfied from the perusal of Mr. Yancey’s letter that the above and other similar objections urged against them are altogether unfounded.— Mr. Yancey shows very clearly from the various presses of Alabama, that the Know Nothings and disaffected Democrats are not the authors of the League, and that their constitution does not contemplate a dissolution of the Union unless in the event that the Union fails in protecting the in terests of the South. The members of the League are chiefly of the Southern Rights Democracy, whose primary object is “to create, by the use of all proper means a sound public opinion in the South on the subject of enforcing the rights of the South in the Union.” Failing to obtain justice in the Union, their object is then to withdraw and assume those powers which have been delegated to the general Government. The league is designed to act not as a political party itself, but with a view to influence other parties in the advancement and pro tection of our constitutional rights.— Tus kegee Democrat. Supreme Court. In to-day’s paper will be found a com munication on the late decision of the Su preme Court in the Bank cases. Our cor respondent, without impeaching the in tegrity of the Court, joins issue with it re lative to the legality of its decision, and ad duces many authorities in support of his side of the question. For ourselves, while we are not competent to determine as to the laio in the case, we are satisfied that the Judges in making their decision w T ere ac tuated by none but the purest motives. If they have decided contrary to law, it w T as nothing more than an error of judgement; and if they have decided according to law, they have merely done their duty. For, however odious and unjust any particular law may be, the Judge has no discretion, as it is his duty to expound and not make the law. It is, therefore, unjustifiable to insinu ate interested or dishonorable motives with regard to either Judge Benning or Judge McDonald. Their lives have been sans peur et sans reproche —they have lived above suspicion, and public confidence in them cannot be shaken by noisy demagogues and petty scribblers.— Macon Stale Press A newspaper correspondent writes that while travelling In the South, he attended a negro meet ing, when the sable preacher offered an earnes prayer for “de white element in our population” Telegraphic. .
