Thus do wo seem to Imve Attained to the summit of ibis most noble science.

However much uiay be achieved over material objects, und in physical relations by indomitable perseverance utid locomotive ener gy ; and although them} may have an effect to stimulate to Increased activity the powers of die mind, yet true mental discipline and culture uru not to he best attained with so great a rapidity. The consequence of mi attempt to crowd into the minds ol thu youth, ill such quick succession, the enure circle of Science and Literature, and to finish the course of study ut so eatly on age, has had the effect to lower the standard of literary em inence in our country .until thoDiploma in Law,in Medicine, or as a College graduate, has ceased to be evideuce of any nimsunl proficiency. What is wanted isa change in the models of our Insti- lotions of Learning. They are nt present very generally modelled after corresponding institu tions iu Europe, where Uie circumstances of those who avnil themselves of their advantages are ma terially different. We are a working, active, bu siness people, and we used institutions of learn ing for our youUi adapted Vo this our peculiar characteristic, where the innate energy which they possess will neither be stifled nor directed to ' objects where it cannot be successfully applied. Looknt tho men most noted for enterprise mid business iu this or any other community where you are acqninted, and see what proportion of them nre graduates of a College, or, indeed, ob serve the comparatively small number of College graduates that are successful in business, and it then ceases to be a wonder tliat it lins become ^so - general a sentiment that an education disqualifies fur ordinary pursuits. But, assuredly, h proper education cannot disqualify lor business; but, on . 'the contrary, Hwust necessarily lie a great auxil- iaiy iu any pursuit whatever. The defect is not ill the knowledge possessed, but in the sys'em by which it has been acquired, and in the habits and notions that have been acquired with it. Habits of practical industry, without which no business cau he carried on to full advantage, must he ac quired, if at all in the early periods of life; but at ‘ this very period, the youth, in our institutions of learning, are placed where they are not only gen erally deprived of an opportunity of increasing their habits of industry, and bodily activity and energy, lint also liKely to lose any that they may have previously possessed. We need institutions of learning adapted to the genius of n business people, an American community, where the bod ily and tnental powers shall have an equal oppor tunity to a perfect devclnpemeut, as there is in utter life, an equal demand upon them in the wants of their countrymen. We should enmbino education with business, and a means of outlive- ..ting babita of industry. 1 mu uwure of difficul ties attending ail effort of this kind; that the few experiment* that-have been made in this country have resulted rather unfavorably, and that some of those who have been inclined to the view the- oretrically, have yet been apprehensive of its • ' .

How ofleti has it oc curred that a single act of kindness, flawing Bom a heart filled with benevolent desires lor Use good of a single individual, has, in accordance with the true character of goodness itself, spread abroad till it has promoted, with its blessed influence, the happiness nf thousands. To the kindness of tho widow of Geneml Greene, the lady 'alluded to, with whom Whitney had accidentally became acquainted in travelling IVom Connecticut to G-orgin, is the Southern country indebted for this invaluable machine. I love lo Meet upon and observe how this single act of woman's kind ness has been blessed, and how many thousands have been made happier and more comfortable by it.

That there might be difficulties at first in changing the system. I readily admit; but that they are insuperable, I do not believe. I entertain too high an opinion of American in genuity, that opinion based upon wbatithasal. ready achieved, to donbt for a moment, if such a system of education ns bus been referred to would bo as decidedly beneficial as there is every reason to believe it would, their entire ability to curry it readily into sticcetbful operation. For the failure or comparative waul ofsuccvsa.ofiuost of die * Manual Labor Schools.' as they have hum called there is a sufficient unntber of causes Unit may be assigned, without bringing us to the conclusion tliat Education cannot successfully he coin! ined with business pursuits. Tho term manual labor itself, usuppliod to these institutions, was tnunr- lunate. There is too generally associated with it utt idea of degradaUon—that they are a kind of juvenile workhouse. Again; there has been loo close a calculation of dollars ami cents nt the com mencement, and because the institution would not yield a profit at first, it has been given up in despair; when, from the nature of things, sever al years must necessarily elapse from the cum- mericnmeiit of such nit institution, before it could possibly get into successful operation. It ap- pears to me, too, and I say il wiUi great deference to Uie judgment of those who have been engaged in tim management of institutions of tiiis kind, that too little attention has been paid iu the gov- eminent nf thorn to the studying of human na ture. particularly inrajjato Uie mindsofyouth. ,,,h “ young mind re<3&Sphs vigorous devei- ent the entire dircclRnfshU control of its own era as fur us Uiis can properly he admitted, . the great art of education consists in being able to bold out inducements for the youth vol- . lllltarily to direct their efforts iu Uio way that it is/Jesircd they should.

From the following which we clip front tho St. Augustine Newt of the 4th inst. a copy of which was politely forwarded us by the Editor, it will be seen that Gen. Armsted has di.-tricted off Uie troops engaged in that service. We hope under Uiis new arrangement our gallant army will be more successful than hither to, but the number of troops in Florida is so small compared with the immense extent of territory to be occupied, that we shall only expectns usual a partial success from the untiring efforts of our brave soldiers: Head Quarters—Army of Florida, \ Fort Kino, Nov. 2U, llMO. ) Order No. 64.—I..

Title Canal is o\t tied by the State of Ncw-York, nnd managed by C immiwioners appointed lor that purpose. Its tiAvignUon is clpsed by ice ut least five months nf lira year, nnd yet so exten sive is the business transacted on it, that it is now being enllirged at au additional expense, esti mated by their Engineers nt $12,000.000—and the New-York correspondent of the National In telligencer writes, but a few days since, that tho business of the Canal is increasing so rapidly, that tho proposed enlargement estimated to cost twelve milllonn more is demanded im mediately at whatever cost t and that il it were now completed, the amount of tolls, beside pay ing the interest on the debt still dim add the debt about to be incurred, would in a short space of time, extinguish the principal. Wn remember to have reed the annual report of tho Canal Commissioners about a year since, ill which they state that some of the bonds of the State, bearing an interest of 6 per cent, were sold in lti25, nnd were payable in London iu 1845. The Commissioners having nbundaqt funds on hand from the receipts of the Canal, were unxious to anticipate Uie payment of those bonds in 1838, hut the capitalists who had made Uie loan, re fused tn take the money and givn up the bonds until Uiey should full due. This is u striking commentary ou the excellence of the system of making loans abroad for objects of this nature, particularly when we can pronounce with per fect certainty that signal success will, follow close upon an outlay of this kind. We regard the en tire success of the State Roud as perfectly certain. That of Uie New-York Canal was problematical —highly so. The Erie Canal cost, $ny $24,000, 000—and is closed five niouUis of Uio year. The Slum Rail Road, which is ns important to tho in terests of Georgia as the Grand Canal is to New- York, is to cost by tho lato report of the Com missioners the very moderate sum of $3,000,000. What gives Uio State of Georgia an immense ad vantage,is thatprivutecompaniesare constructing more than twice os much of this great line of iu- tercomnuniication as she is. This condition of Uiings gives lo the State an assurance of imme diate income from her expenditure, which she would not otherwise have. It gives to the Stale the advantages of an internal communication during ever)’ season offfie year front the Atlantic to Uie Tennessee river, with only an expenditure of $3,000,000 on her part, Uiis sum being neces sary to construct a road coveriugone hundred and thirty-five miles of the whole distance, the chasm being filled up by the Savannah and Macon, the Macon and Forsyth,and Forsyth npd DeKulb Rail Ronds. We do not believe tho immense advan tage to the State in this regard has been sitfficienty thought on or commented on. Certain it is that the State does not seem to hnve rendered to Uiese works any acknowledgment of the vast assistance she is to derive from them, for their repeated ap plications for aid have been disiegarded. Thanks however to the energy nnd prudence displayed in the management of the affairs of these private companies, they can do without aid from the State, and they are going straight forward over hill and over vulley and river, and will clasp to gether with bands of iron, all tho vast interests of this State. The effects of Uie New-York Canal, distanced all calculation. New mines were dis covered and worked, new sources of industry were developed, villages and even cities sprang up where but a short time before was heard the woodman’s axe and the cry of wild beasts. The realization of its benefits has been more like fan cy Uian liko sound, undispntable facts. It was as though tho times of the enchanters had come again, when under the magic wand of some po tent sorcerer. Uie gloom of the silent recesses of the woods, gives place tn brightness and bounty, and the rocks and caverns and streams are chan ged to palaces nnd gothic halls and mtirmeritig fountains. The effect in proportion to our pop ulation and resources, will not be the less surpri sing in our own. State. Our Rail Roads when half constructed, begin to yield prodigious pro fits. The small fractional parts are being rapidly filled up and in May, 1842, the whole line of Rail Road from Savannah to Ross' Landing, which is fifteen miles beyond the North-Western bounda ry of Georgia, will be in full operaUnn. We learn that the contracts just offered nn the unfinished portion of tlie Savannah and Macon Rail Road, i. e. between the Oconee and Ocmulgce hnve been sought with the utmost avidity—that an im mense number of proposals hnve been handed in. This looks well. We only regret tliat the Direc- tors of this Rond hnve not resolved to complete the work by the 1st of January, 1842, instead of tlie 1st of May, 1842.

Tall- madge appeared in tho public prints, giving his estimate of tlio probable resultofthe Presidentinl struggle then pending. Tho letter and estimate gave rise to a great deni of discussion; the Ad ministration presses assailing its calculations ns visionary in tho extreme, nnd the Whig pnpers defending tho claims preferred by the honorable Senator to the several States. We re-publish nn extract from Mr.Tullmadge's letter, togeUier with the estimate, that our readers may judge for them selves how wild it was— Alb. Daily Ado. " I hnve written a much longer letter than I in tended when I commenced; but, having said this much, I will add n litUe more, by way of giving my estimnte of the Presidential election. I have takeh great twins to get tfie most accurate infor mation. 1 have not only consulted members of Congress, but I have had n very extensivo corres pondence throughout the Union. My sources of information may be implicitly relied on; nnd I say to you with the utmost sincerity, thnt, in my judgment, Gener.nl Harrison will be elected by a more triumphant majority thnn General Jackson received iti his palmiest days. In writing lo you ns a friend, I hnve not only no motive, but no dis position, to mislead or exaggerate.

We do not wonder uach that Uie Ex-Seuntor is annoy- at the trick dint lins been played upon him, and speaks ill of his illustrious predecessor. The Doctor will he somewhat puzzled to make a fa vorable presentment of the affairs of the office, if there is good foundation for the following article, which we copy from the National Intelligencer: THE POST OFFICE. That there is a general deficiency in the pub lic revenue, lop large amount, which it will he among tho first duties of the present or the next Congress to p-ovide for, not only for the time being but fo time to come, we presume is uni versally midi mood. If nothing he done by way of providing bi the extinction of this debt, the first thing, it; ieed, that Congress will have to do under the ad mistration of Gen. Harrison, (who will no doult icstore to Congress the duty nf managing tl t icteuue. usurped by tho Executive since the 4th or* March, 1829) will he to provide at once for t e payment of a public debt (inclu ding Trensn y notes) of twenty orthiity millions nf dollnrs. ‘In next and yet more important du ty which wil necessarily devolve upon the next Congress w I teto provide a permanent addition to the reven lo, which fulls annually short of the wants nf tin Government, parUy from Um late derungcmeiis in the commerce of tlm country, but prmcipa y by the tiecessnry operation of the compromise nriff, which will have reached its minimum in 842, but isnlready low enough for its effects to e sensibly felt upon the revenue from the cusoms.

He is n post master in Maine, near thn Arostook line, who, .when Col. Bnrry took command of the Post Office Depart ment, and was sweeping all before him in the sliane of reform, addressed him a letter which ran iu the following vein: "My Dear Colonel: The sound of your broom which is now sweeping the Augean stables is echoing among these distant hills; village nnd for est are nlike filled with dismny; tho birds forsake the woods, the trembling infant (lies to its moth er’s arms, nnd even strong men find Uteir joints give way—they shnkc like Belshazzar nt ilia vi- sionnry hand tnnt wrote his death-doom.
