THE DAILY TIMES, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 20 A word upon Passports. An American gentleman on reaching tho shores of Europe is at once struck with the novelty of the orduaoce repairing a license to travel. Born among a free people—enjoying the swoet fruits of libarty, hie sensitiveness is touched, anti his pride wouuded, when he noeds purchase a warrant of his respectibility to gain access into the Country. Accustomed to go whithersoever he chooseth claiming freedom of movement by virtue of his own noble instincts —unrestrained, except by llie laws of self-respect, a permission to pass implies a denial of the right, which is galling to his proud and noble nature. The original idea of a passport in England was based upon the inability of a subject, to leave the kingdom without the authority of the Sovereign. This principle was illustrated in the 17th century, when Charles I, prevented the leaders of the Pres byteiian party, including Oliver Cromwell, from leaving the country Surviving the revolution, the Duke of Marlborough himself found some trouble in receiving a passport from the hands of Queen Anne. The impracticability of the system how ever then, to say nothing of the assump ions of error upon which it rests, was not so fully disclos ed as at tho present time—For in the days of Bo- Jingbroke or Stanhope, as iu the small State*— such as tho Cantons of Switzerland or certaiD members of the Germanic Confederation —a guar rentoo of character, a testimonial of position could be given with assurance of security. But how can a Government at this enlightened, prosperous day pretend to discriminate between the claims of applicants, when all deserve so well ? This old custom, however, of deriving a travel ler’s testimonials from his own Government has passed away and the jealousy lies with the people, whom he desires to visit. England has seen the folly long since of such a system and has abolish ed it, only so far as regards her good faith wit other powers. Franco and other Kingdoms eti 1 insist upon the impracticable,foolish ordnance, al beit a passport from the English Sec’y of State car ries with it no weight as to character and is not regarded as on introduction or a recommendation to the good offices of tho foreign authorises. Then, in a word, all passports are worthless They are not certificates of character—they are not letters of introduction—they are given to all alike, who can force any man’s sig nature to an application—they defeat tho very ob ject for which they were designed—they put the honest and dishonest in the eamo livery, the latter always getting tho advantage—they are the relics of an early civilization arid an unjust tyranny and unworthy tho intelligence of chivalrous France and the German ."tales. All this talk is simply an encomium upon the beauty of our own form of government when con trasted with that of other na ioris and a song of praise to the blessings of liberty which it is om good fortune to enjoy Cuthbert Convention-Col, Tucker The Sumter licpubliccan, an American orgau pays the following just tiibute to the legal ability of Col. John A. Tucker, the nominee of the Dem ocratic party for Judge in the Pataula Circuit. It says: “In our opinion, the Convention could not have made a more suitable selection for .itidge, than that of Col. Tucker, for we regard him every way well qualified to discharge the onerous duties at tendant upon the office. Notwithstanding he is the nominee of a party, and our opposition to caucus nominations for that high and responsi ble office, yet we feel constrained to say that a more suitable person cannot be found in the dis trict, from among those of his own party. We hope our friends iu the District will not hold a Convention, but will give their support to Col. Tucker, for wo feel satisfied, lie will do justice to all. Qualifications alone, and not party, should control us in the choice we make for the offices of Judge and Solicitor, upon their merits, they should stand or fall.” The Democratic party of this (Chattahoochee) Circuit have never opposed Judge E- H. Wornll —our present able Judge—though he has boen twioe before the people for the office. He was elected without opposition oach time. It was a well deserved complaint to his legal qualifications and showed the respect in which he was held by the people, whose rights were in a great measure placed under his guardianship and protection. Mitchell County Nomination. A democratic meeting was hold at Camilla, Mitchell county on the Bth instant, when Rev. A Cumbie and Mr. Augustus H. Jones were nomi nated respectively for the offices of Senator and Representative in the next Legislature. Messrs John G, Sapp, Joshua P. Crosby and Troup Butler were chosen delegates to attend the Demo cratic Judicial Convention of the South*Western Circuit. Mitchell county was made out of Baker at the last session of the General Assembly. Rev. Mr. Cumbie was the member from old Baker, and was cut off in the new county,that he is now nomi nated to represent in the State Senate. We have not yet been in formed as to the place where the Judicial Convention in the South-Wes tern Circuit will assemble. Hon. R H. Clarke and Col H. K. McCay are sp >ken of in connection f with the Judgeship. The former’s name is an nounced through the Albany Patriot , as n can didate for the normnati n Crops W e arc permitted to make the following extract : from a letter written by a gentleman in Baibotir | County, Ala., to a gentleman iu this city. “You write discouragingly about your crop, you have plenty of company. I do not think I have mado a thousand pounds of Cctton since the Ist of Aug. except in somo low places which had noilnog at that time- The rust spread all over my crop in a few days after it fairiy started.” Stampede oFFree NEGRoEs.-Fiftecn free Ne* •p. groes stampeded for“de blessed Norf,” by yester- J day afternoon’s train, says the Petersburg Ex * press, all furnished with certificates of departure by the Mayor. The brilliant inducements held | out by Mr. Greeley and his friends are acting like charms upon the free colored populution general ly, Many witnilar departures have already occur red, aud will continue, not only lieuce, but from various other citiea iu Virginia and other Southern States. It is said that the mortality in tho London hospitals has increased since the introduction of etherization from twenty-one to thirty-threo per cent*; or, to vary the expression, instead of ampu tation being fatal in a less proportion than one in four of those operated upon, it now proves fatal to 4 one in three. Treaties with China. Our Telegraphic dispatches have announced the act of a cessation of military operations by tho al lied Anglo-French armies and of the conclusion of treaties of peace with China. The details ot thefco treaties have not yet reached us; but w e ba\< received enough to give assurance that the ports | 0 f (hat country, which, from a dateless period, have ! closed against the merchantmen of the world, have beou opened. Henceforth the waters which wash the darkened shores of that distant and almost interminable empire, will.bear exulting- Jy the commerce and civilization of Christendom. The material results which, in the natural order of tilings, may be expected to flow thereirom, have an important relation with the prosperity of this country and especially of the cotton State^. — The capacity of the South for the production of the staple, we may fairly assume, is only equal to the present wants of the world. That it is not greater, is demonstrated by the fact that the price of cotton remains at a standard of ample r mu neration. In time of pence, without monotary ro vuhions, or other disturbing causes to affect the regular operation of the laws of supply and de mand, it is not probable that any marked variation from its present price would occur. It is true that from two causes, to wit: the natural increase of I cotton producers and the gradual emigration fr m tho worn out lands of the East rn States to the I fertile and inexhaustib e valleys ot the West, we 1 may look for a constant advance in production ; But it is also fair to assume that the consumption i wili be regulated by aneqaal if not a greater,ra'io j of progression. Whatever relation, however,these | two facte may sustain to each other under existing I or past circumstances, it cannot be doubted that ! the crumbling of these ancient barriers i<> Eu i ropeanand American comm ree, which thistrea ! ty signalizes, will gives powertul and mprece dented impulse to the demand tor the Southern product. The complacency, which a contemplation o’ its effect inspires, blinds us, perhaps imp operly to whatever errors may have been committed i the achievement, and enables us to endure with composure tho reproaches of the English press for our undignified and officious zeal Prof. Wm. J. Sasnett A. M D. D. lias beon elected President of LaGrange Fo male College and will enter on the discharge oi his duties at the beginning of the term on the 2Lh inet. We congratulate the Trustees in making so wist and judicious n eele tion to this high and rospon- As a gentleman of profound scholar ship, of great literary acquirements and of distiu guiehod abilities as a writer, Dr Sasnett enjoys a wide and brilliant reputation. Ilia long and suc cessful career as an instructor ot youth in th* best Colleges in the South his connection with the great religious and educational schemes of the country,ofwh ch he is the projector: hie great cner | gy and growing influence, render h m equal to ami i worthy of the highest collegiate position which : our country can bestow. Crisis cf the French Iron Trade.— Accord - , ing to the French papers “tho very existence ol ibe iron trade in France is at stake,” Several large establishments have closed, many others have slackened work, aud discharged numbers of workmen, having ou their bauds the products of the ln?t. six months Additional by the Persia. There was a mutiny on board the ship Conquerer in the Mersey—the ship was bound for Mobile. Seventeen armed negroes refused to work. They were arrested without bloodshed, by the consul, ‘1 he Allies and Chinese had a serious battle in CantoD. Part of the city was burnt. It was reported that a large loan would be taken by tho United States to forward the French Suez canal project.J Duel in Virginia. — Richmond, Sept. 17.—A duel was fought this morning between O. Jennings Wise of the Richmond Enqui/er and Hon. Sher rard Clemens of Wheeling. The latter was wounded at the fourth fire, though not danger ously. Killed.—New York, Sept. 17. — Win. H. Monaghan, of Charleston fell fr<>m a window in the New York Hotel to night, and wa9 killed. The Pennsylvania Inquirer of a late date contains a beautifully written article on “ Fidelity,” full of truth and wisdom. We give the conclusion of the article : “One of the most eminent of American statemen and philosophers, many years ago, described the happi st condition of the human existence to consist in a perfect re ciprocity of interests, feelings and affei ions between man an i wife. Ail, he ad oitted, were liable to errors and infirmities, all were characterised by passions nd preju dices, but with a spirit of mutual forbear ance, and a determma ion ip-ver to offend wantonly or intentionally—weded life he regaidrd as tho only real bliss on this side of the grave. But m order to realize this, there must be at least two great #s*entiaH, Confidence and fidelity. These are in some sense twin sisters, and one cannot live without the other. The faithful man or ttie fiithful woman, in every sphere of society, high or low, rich or poor, prince or peasant, may be regarded as moral jewels among the multitude, and as calculated to exercise a salutary influence wherever they move and m ngle. The changeling of the hour j can never be relied upon. He is a creature j of inteiest or impulse. To-day he may be | ail earnestness, warmth, and apparent sin cerity, and to-morrow he may be formal, cold and hypocritical. He d--esnot under stand, or will not practice the god like prin c-p! of fidelity. That one virtue is capable ot redeeming a thousand faults. We do not look for perfection in tho sons aud daugnters of Adam. We know that ail are finite and frail, and we feel every hour we live that we are fallible and mortal. Nevertheless, it with this knowledge of ourselves and others we endeavor to be true, faithful and hot est on all occasions, we shall take one step in advance, and avoid many triors and ex cesses. And when, moreover, we find fidel ity in another, when amidst the storm and the sunshine, in joy or in sorrow, we discover a heart that ia truly faithful, one that never waves nor falters, one whose very essence and spirit6eem to sympathise with our own, let us respond, clng to, ap preciate and cherish it, for it should be regarded as the most precious and priceless boon that has been left to man since the fall.” _ Improvement in Picling.— lt is recom mended to housewives, in making their pickles, to add a cluster or two of green grapes which will completely preserve the vigor of the vinegar. Southern Education for Southern Youth. We have received a copy f *he address delivered by the Hon. Wm. H Stiles, be fore the Aipha Phi Delta Society of the Cherokee Baptist College, on tno 14th of July last. We copy the closing part of this address, as it embodies principles of which should be engraven on the heart of every Georgian, and practically applied now aud thiough out ail time: Friends and patrons of learning who have gathered to witness the exercises of this in teresting occasion, a word to you and Ii have done. If nothing which I have ad j vanced has been able to conviuce you ot | the necessity of southern education for j southern youih, I have in reserve at ap peal, which he heart of no true Georgian, ’ 1 trust can possibly resist. It is the solemn warning of our departed sir s. It comes iu us like “‘the ham w itmg on the wall” to the inmates ot B Isuazzar’a p<*l..ce with all me mice ot retii .uu. u. it requires no Daniel b> in . rprei. bui stands upon ihe pages of our statute hook in a language which a.l may :ead that, “send ing them (our youth) aoroad to ottier couu- j tries for educaii .n will not answer these ! purposes,is too hutui aiing au acknowledge men l of the ignorance or m:e lor.ty ot our ! ownand will ai ways be the cause ot sogieat foreign attachments, thai upon lire prm i pies of policy, it is inadmissible.” Nut coil tent wuh ibis admonition embraced in the act o. 1785, tor the establishment ot a ritaie Unive si y, our patriot lathers, at t .e same session ol the General Assemb pdsseu a separate act of disfranchising any person who might be sent abroad tor the purposes of education, and declaring such intelligence to any office, civil or military, in the Stale, lor a tern! ot years equal to that ot their foreign i< si eic. And this statute remains to this day unaltered and uprepealed. Have ?e, I would ask, less love for our sons or less regard tor our country, than actuated oar ancestors? Oris the danger f c man iiiatton from a foreign education less now than formerly, le.- from o< e ob tained in New England than from one ac quired in O.d England, less from an educa tion obtained iu the abolitionised and inim ical States of Massachusetts and Connecti cut, at the present day, than one acquired in the indifferent but friendly countries ot Europe in the last century ? It will not be admitted ! Why then have we, on so vital <t subj -ct, for more than seventy-five years, disregarded toe wholesome injunctions of hat authoritative voice. Lot us pause, before it is forever too late and gather wisdom from the teachings o, die past. There is a lesson connected with the es tablishment of those institutions of Sparta to which reference has been made, which 4 would be well for us to ponder. When Lyeurgus had framed the institutions and taws which gave to Sparta her subsequent splendor, (institutions and laws, ton, which like those ofour fathers of ’BS, were based upon the instruction and proper training ot youth,) interested as was most natural in their effi et and permanence, he repaired to Delphi and inquired of the oracle, “Wheth er the new laws were sufficient for the happiness of Sparta ?” And mark wed the reply of the Pythian priestess, “Sparta will remain the most flourishing of States, so long as she observes those laws.” Had our fati ers of ’BS, after establishing the insti tutions and laws, which I would urge you so warmly to respect, been able to propound to some Delphic oracle a similar interroga tory as to the effect and permanence of their labors, the answer would doubtless have been in substance identical witn that deliv ered to Lyeurgus, “ Georgia will remain the most flourishing of States so long as she observes those laws.” But of this lesson of history, the half is yet untold. So long a* Sparta continued to observe the laws and institutions ol Lyeurgus, she retained unimpaired the power and influ ence which gave her supremacy over all her rivais, but when in the lapse of time those laws became at first neglect* and and then forgott. n. Sparta fell to rise no m<>re forever.
