National Uepubliran atowta. pa. SUNDAY MORNING :M»y 8. I»«* For PRESIDENT Or thk United States: ULYSSES S. MUM. r- ■' THK XATIOhAI. RKPUKLICAtI, At tile clone of this excirinjf jxilitionl contest vre take the o|>|MMtunit\ J.rietlv to review our course since we ileelanal our selves in favor of the party of Recount rue tion ami the Union, If we im 1 entitle.l to claim no other merit we at least may claim that of consistency. We have always deairet! ami ath.x ate.l such a settlement of our politi cal difficulties as would restore to the South prosperity and civil government. The Daily /Vim under our management, was we lielieve. the only paper in Georgia that advocated the adoption of the ••( (institu tional Amendment" as it was called a measure eminently just and fair, aiftl which many of those w ho w ere its opponents then are now ready to confess should have I wen acceded to. We foretold what has hap la ned, that if that proposition was not en tertained by the people of Georgia, more severe terms would be cuacted. The Legislature- not, ns we believe, re presenting the people, but rather governed by the same spirit which brought on seces sion and the war chose to reject the terms of peace otl'ere.l by the conqueror, and as we predicted harder terms were imposed. The Daily l’it » became the National Republican. Imt without any change of course or sentiment. We still sought "the things which make tor p?aee," and advo cated a compliance with the new terms offered. Anything was better than that unsettled condition which obstructed the development of the State, drove away immi gration and capital from our borders, ilis. cottragetl enterprise, and destroy ed public and private prosperity . We still labored tor the material good of the people. Hut the in fatuation that led to the rejection of more favorable terms still ruled. A party, and the ruling party in this section of the State, still kept up their hostility to any terms of peace. What they wished they have never declared, nor what terms of settlement they were willing to comply with—they were, to all appearance, opposing every thing and proposing nothing. Seeing no way out of the miserable dilemma, but a compliance with tlie terms offered, we advocated their adoption and our return to the Union under them. Tor a long time we stood alone, the only daily paper in Georgia which advo cated reconstruction upon the basis of the terms offered by the law-making power of the national government. We were ex posed to the attacks of the whole press of the State, united against us. We were con demned to every kind of proscription which could be exercised upon us. In our Inti ness, efforts partially successful were made to injure us. We say nothing of the mis representation of our motives, and the gross personal libels uttered and published against us. Years of fair dealing and good citizenship were sufficient to give the lie to such attacks, and they passed us as the-idle wind, which we regarded not. We strove to avoid replying in the same drain, though some of our assailants were peculiarly vul nerable. Personalities were beneath the dignity of a contest in which such vast public interests were at stake. Wc stand now in the rank* of tlie \ii tors in tlie recent i onti -t. Tlie principles for which we have striijfftleri anil heenper -ecuteil are triumphant. Georgia fins taken the first steps step-! not to he re traced—on lier return to the Union, to self government, and. as we lielieve, to a pros purity unexampled in her annals. Her people have decided that, hereafter, they will live miller their own Constitution, he governed hy their own laws, administered hy officers of their own choice; and when the acerbities which have been aroused in the heated political conte-t through which we have just passed shall have hecn allayed yh time, we hope to have it acknowledged that the course we have pursued has been lor the best interests of the State and the i (immunity of which wc are members. As to our future course, ns one of the organs of the now dominant recoustruc. lion party, we -hall promise no more than our past lias guaranteed. We desire that) above all things, the bad passions engen dered by a long course of civil war and political hostility should be allavod. that there max be peace throughout our bor ders that laws should he obeyed and pri vate rights respected, nnd to iitlaiii tin <■ desirable cuds we shall labor as uealwny liave la laired.

It will be seen that the idea of “mutual protect ion" [from scallavvags and spider bite* }is made prominent in this plan. Os course, we merely give the General outline of the organization of this move in the (W)right direction. Upon consultation and interchange of views, [among tax payers* after perusing a few lines from Master Ranse’s friend Blodgett to the City Coun cil, on Friday.] it may be found expedient to change, or considerably modify the above nice little programme. Our object is not so much to give the precise organ ization of this Intelligence and Mutual Protection Club, as to direct attention to the subject from all (Wjright-mindcd men "East of the Oconee." We think, however, that "something not only mutt he, but that it can be done,” to prevent the colored population from falling under the iiilluence of such “unprincipled w retches" as the author of the C/irnnicb soribblings upon “Our Plain Duty."

Olayouth Carolina, there is no use to ask father intelligence ; the majority jn that Slnte is already unnecessarily large. Georgia dispatches now promise at least seven thousand majority for the constitution, nnd four for Governor Bui.i.ock. North Carolina has probably ratified the constitu tion by thirty-five thousand majority, and elected the whole Republican State ticket. lu sumo strange, mysterious, and utterly incomprehensible fashion it happens tjial the Southern negroes—who “don’t know enough to vote, ’ you know—always vote the Repub lican ticket, and elect loyal men lo nil offices, lb rhnps a well trained Copperhead would say that they me bribed to do so, but the fact is that they were bribed to vote the other way. The land is owned by the Conserva tives ; business is generally controlled -by Conservatives ; and all the power of wealth and habitual control arc used to turn them from their convictions. The miserable crea tures “don't know how to vote," but by a miraculous accident they always vote right. They arc awfully ignorant, hut it is exceed ingly clear that they know better what the welfare of their State demands than their old masters I —Metsotn i Democrat. From the way Tory Democracy acted in tlie last election we can correct the above so far as to say, that oar experience was that they were unusually active and anxious for negro votes every where, and tried threat*, pistols, begging, Being, cheating, swindling, and whiskey, to get the “don’t know how to vote" men to vote with them. END or THE ABYSS]XIAN WAR— THK RATTLE IX WHICH THEO DOH US HAS KILLED. A dispatch from Magdala, April 13th, sots forth the particulars of the hattle in which King Theodoras was killed, and which ends the Abyssinian war, so far as the object for which it was undertaken is con cerned. The dispatch says : A truce which had been agreed upon be tween General Napier and King Theodoras terminated at an early hour this morning. Immediately after its termination, the King not having surrendered the captives, Major General Napier placed hitnsell at tlio head ol the first and second brigades ot his army, and moved tip the hill towards the fortress to Shillasse. This portion of the strong works built was surrendered to Napier by the chiefs in command, alti r a brisk attack, in which the African troops were defeated. King 1 hcodoriis, observing the English advance and its first fruits, retreated into the center of the Magdala works on the plateau, hav ing first planted five of his guns at the base. When General Napier came in sight with his hri glide, the King’.- artillerymen opened on the advance with these guns in presence of Theodoras. The British replied immediately with their twelve pounder Armstrong guns and seven inch mountain mortar rocket guns, throwing rooks into the place. After en during this fire a short time, King Theo doras absconded his guns, and still retreat ing inward, barricaded the silly ports, and commenced a fire of musketry from boliind bis gates and wall defences. The Abys siuians evincing no signs of surrender, Gen. Napier halted his advance and commenced a lioiiibnrdmen* of tlicir works. The bom bardment was continued during a space (if three hours; when it terminated, the Brit ish commanders ordered an assault, which was made in fine style. The King’s works were carried, after a very vigorous resist ance on the part of the enemy. Theodoras l"st, during the engagement, sixtv men killed and two hundred wounded. The English army had fifteen of the rank and til ■ wounded. A..<rthe work were completely taken, Kog 1 heodorus was found dead by the English soldiers. He was shut through the h ad. Since persons say he was killed du rai-' in' of the battles, others incline to the opinion that ho committed suicide, when he lound the fortune of the day against him. lh" King’s body was recognized, among the ’ and wounded, by the British captives, '• 1 -■ released. I'beodmus’ two sons were l-do-n prisoners by Napier, amhall the Hn ro|>"an prisoners, held by their deceased f-'tbei, set lice, flic interior of the fortress ”1 M i gilala presented an extraordinary and Mi "bid sight, the plate glowing almost with barbaric splendor. The British troops plun der’ dat once. The men lound fi.iir royal troll ns madeiit solid gold, twenty thousand dollars i:i silver ; thousands ol silver plates, .-■(•Vi ral lots ol very rich jewels, and numer ous other articles of great value. Gen. Na pier takes, by bis victory, the twenty tight large guns just used against him, five thousand stand of small arms, ten thousand shields, such as arc used in battle in the open field by the Abyssinian*, ten thousand spears, and many articles of war equipment The liberated British cap tives will start for home on the 14th of April. Gen. Napier’s army will reorganize, fail in, and return to India and England at once. A dispatch dated Zoulu, April 18, says the very latest reports had at that point from tlie scene of action in Magdala, repr sont that 14,000 native troops had laid down their arms to Napier, and that Theodoras had 500 soldiers killed and 1,500 wounded in the late engagement. Ad vices from Napier's headquarters in Mag dalti, without date, arc also at hand. They' state that the Europeans lately held cap tive there, numbering sixty souls, including men, women, and children, were already on (lie route to Zoiilu for home, and that the entire force of Theodoras’ army had been either killed, wounded, or captured. At the meeting of tlie Board of Education in Grand Street, several good suggestions were made—that about gram mar, for instance, which is no study for mere boys, and which, even for adults can be sufficiently learned from books and journals. The great school defect, after ail, is in the department of moral sentiment. Boys arc never taught what to think. This defect should he supplied by poetical read ings and recitations and by readings of history these last to he illustrated by the teacher’s voice and a map of the world on the wall. A map of the world teaches more in five minutes than a hook of geography in a year. Poetry is the best help of the human intellect, opening and exciting it to effort in the most natural and genial way. These moral effects—as Mr. Huxley, the Englishman, contends—are of tlie most, vital considerations in schools. Teacher* should talk more to the children —be teach ers in fact, and not task masters—there is too much tasking. Poetry for the mind and ventilation for the body aro two great needs in schools—though our fathers and grand fathers would not believe it-—A’. )'. limes. Wc have received from Allien# (Greece), a thick pamphlet entitled the Kant ami the West, by an Oriental aiul Funner llili/ah. It discusses the relations of the Greeks anil the Turks, the condition ol Tur key, and the pri specie of the races ruled by the Sultan. The Ex-Huynh comes lo the conclusion (I.) That it is impossible for the Christians to live in peace with the Turks in Europe, as subjects ; (ibj That the Turkish race cannot he civilized ; (3.) That all the Christian rarns subject to the Turks are now ready to shake off the Ottoman yoke. The pamphlet is one of remarkable ability, and its discussion nl'apirrcnt events, such ns the (belan i traggle and the troubles of the Greek Kingdom, is vigorous and intelligent.
