A gentle man in business in this city has for-several yoars made a practice, which is common with many, of itWTling his cun tenners aud friends out to “taka a drink” or a cigar. A friend endeavored to couvittco him that he was speeding too much in this way, asule from other and stronger objec tions to the practice. The gentleman in sisted that tho cost was a mere trifle, but to make euro ol it, ho adopted tho following plan; Each time he spent anything for this purpose, he deposited an equal amount in a box in his safe, Keeping no aceouut of it. At the end ot three mouths he counted this deposit, and found there, to his amazement, over three hundred dollars. The friend who related the incident to us said he had just loft the surprised man, who was still looking at the pile of bills and thinking deeply. Perhaps he was reckoning the amount of comfort and pleasure the sunt would have brought to the homo circle, if properly used, or how it would have helped iu taking up some note when he was “short.” Probably he has received some new ideas which will do him much good, and not injure his customers. Public Schools of this tily. In continuation of this subject, we shall confine ourselves, for the preseut, wholly to the general outliue, and not bote our read ers with statistical facts, which are more in the way of tltc report of a Superintendent to the “Board of Public Education” than a local editor’s province, in our opinion; therefore, we shall content ourselves, for the present, with calling, briefly, attention to the great, wants of the schools of the city. In the first place, then, we visited the two schools of Mr. Gordon and Mr. McCar thy, in the District of Dublin (so called), and found the former occupying two small rooms—one twelve by eight feet, which held fifty-two boys, and the other twenty by twelve, with fifty-six girls in its crowded dimensions. There was neither room to breathe, to study, to recite, or to discipline the school. Mr. G. does the best lie can under the circumstances, for he lias to pay the rent of the building himself, out of his badly paid salary ; and while lie would, if possessed of the means to do so, enlarge his borders, he is compelled to content himself with his present cramped quarters. A description of this will answer also for Mr. McCarthy’s arrangements, although he has rather more room. In those two instances there is an opportunity for philanthropy to exercise itself aud open its purse. Out readers can have no idea of the great num ber of children in the 4th Ward, and, w T e presume, in all the other wards of the city, who are unprovided either with sehool houses or teachers, and arc idling about the streets. The Factory school, under the care of the Misses Coffin, has a mote comfortable room, aud, with fifty-five pupils, has it sufficiently filled. We regret that time would not allow our visiting four other schools of whites, two in the First Ward and two others in the Fourth Ward. There are several private schools in the city, besides those we have already alluded lo—these we have not visited. Wo will now write of the schools for colored children, without being too prolix, if we can help it. In the first place, then, we will say that the buildings are well arranged— with ample light—and ventilation—comfor table seats and desks--maps and charts of various kinds adorn the walls, and the lady teachers understand well th e task of instruct ing the children from the Primary classes to the higher branches of education, but the discipline of the schools was astonishingly apparent; and-the perfect obedience ol the pupils in especially one of the schools, reminds one of a Prussian Regiment on drill, compared with raw militia. Vocal music is one of the features in these schools, and the perfect time kept in this exercise is wonderful. These cultivated ladies, who are doing this educational work, are not laboring for money, but from higher motives, for far grander objects, and to gain nobler ends. Their deeds of mercy and acts of charity to the poor of this city,-during the past winter, are well known to a few of our citizens, not only of the colored but of the white race. We learn, that with all the self sacrifices these ladies have made, and are daily making, and the examples of industry as teachers they evince, they arc prescribed and insulted upon the streets by the white loafers on the town, who, if they possessed one particle of self respect, would easily remember that no gentleman will wilfully insult any one, much more a lady, and that these ladies set an example of laborious work that loafers would do well to follow. Magnanimity* We are great advocates of the exercise of this virtuo, in all cases, but that of giving the offices of the country to any one but out and out, reliable Republicans, ot known past record ns such, and who tought the recent political battles in the State fear lessly and without regard to bullying Tory ism or weak-kneed quasi friends. It amuses us much to see already an effort being made in Georgia, ore the smoke of battle has passed away, or the foes retired from the field, seeking to preach up magnanimity to the conquerors 1 This is impudence unpar alleled, and Democracy may rest assured that neither whining nor blubbering, nor any other thing they may say or do, will change the fiat that has gone forth—“ Put none but Republicans on guard.” We have the power now to make the State of Georgia a tree State, amt require that every office shall be filled by those men only who have won this great honor—hail from where they may—so that they are now, and as we said before, have been true to the principles of government we advocate, and which, we are well satisfied, will redeem the State Irom the usurpations ot the past. So gentlemen of the “so-called,” don’t make any preparations at all ; some of you are very good looking, and very clever, and all that, “but you can’t come in.” We may consent to receive you into our churches, upon probation, lor the term of tour years on good behavior, but not otherwise. Could we think of consenting to any arrangement by which you might become troublesome and I disgrace the ritual ? * ADDRESS On tin occasion of «*• decoration of the grace, of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Snowden, bg the Pa pile of the Augnetn Free School, Mag 4, 1808. Tho pleasure afforded ine by your invita tioo to address you upon tbo occasion of your annual tribute to the memory of depart, ed friends and benefactors, is saddened only by the reflection of tho inability of your speaker to do justice to the characters and virtues of the lamented dead. But, having been a witness to the fidelity and zeal with which they labored in the discharge of the arduous duties bf their profession,and 1 trust, grateful recipient of Hie benefits of that labor, I would havo done violence to my feelings, bad I refused to add my humble abilities to that of these children, who are here to discharge somewhat of the debt of gratitude we owe to the dead for the services they rendered our city, State and country iu the cause of education. Believing it to be a sacred duty I owe alike to the living and the dead, that their honored names and exemplary characters should be put upon record for the admira tion and emulation of the living, still I regard it no part of my duty, and this not the occasion nor place in which to indulge in ill-timed and unmeaning praise aud commendation. The spirit of the occasion would lebuke the recourse. The names of our honored dead need no such resort; for their integrity of character and virtue of life shines brightest when por trayed in the simple and unostentatious garb of truth and candor. Their services forming a prominent part of the history of our citv, it would bo idle and presumptive in me to comment upon their qualifications for the duties of their profession. It stands cou- Icssed iu the reputation of the Institution over which their genious presided. Os the success of their labors—the standard by which the masses judge of merit—there are living monuments, whose accomplishments are far more eloquent in their praise than any language could possibly be. Os the integrity and consistency of their lives let the example they have left us speak. Os the disinterestedness and humanity of their labor, let the number and circumstances of their pupils tell. Os them, it may be truly said, their lives were devoted to the public good ; not to that class of the public whose social and pecuni ary position foreshadows the certainty of reward, but to the hedges aud by-ways of the city, where the poor and destitute, the ignorant and the orphan were found—there they were iirstdevoted, and there their kindly offices and ministrations were bestowed, and if there be names at whose mention the orphan’s teat- will start, or the poor’s blessing be pronounced, these ate they—lor where was the work of chatity in which they had not a part, or the cause of humanity in which they had not a share ? The conception taken by Mr. and Mrs. Snowden of the duties of their- profession was lofty, yet characteristic of their nature. The possibilities of tire future were ex changed for the realities of the present, and their instruction was of that eminently prac tical and useful character which the circum stances of their pupils required. For those who desired employment, situa tions were secured, and with parental ad monition and affection they were sent forth to the discharge of its duties. And to-day many of these stand the respected head and genior of responsible firms, to which years ago they were put as clerks or messengers— itself an irrefutable prool of the success of their efforts in the development of their minds and characters. We might follow the same figure in the other professions, where many ol the pupils have attained positions of prominence aud honor in filling places of public trust and confidence. But the brightest feature in their charac ters was the life long devotion with which they leaned upon the strong arm of Omnipo tence, and the crowning glory of their system was the earnestness and zeal with which they labored to impart the same attributes to their pupils. But why should I attempt a rehearsal of their virtues? Yonder sun would sink behind the Western hills ere half tho story was told. They are indelibly written in the affections ot this people, whose representatives have paid the tribute of that affection in the ceremo nies of this occasion—the grateful recogni tion of their legacy of spotless names. The spirits of our friends have gone to the rewards of well-spent lives, and are blessed in the Associations of the better land. Their example is with us for our admiration and emulation, ns beacon lights on the high sea of life, by which we may be enabled to guide our own frail being through an honored life, to the same happy port. As worshippers at the shrine of virtue, by these ceremonies we have incurred the sacred obligation of emulating their lives and ex ample; the faithful performance of which will render your annual tribute tit and appropriate—otherwise, it will be but lip service, and our recreancy will be a solemn mockery of the virtues of the honored dead. Their mantles have fallen upon two of their respective pupils, of whose qualifica tions, both in character and ability, it is the pleasant duty of your speaker to bear testi mony. And if their pupils will but faithfully perform their part of the obligations, I feel confident shut the future reputation of the school will be we.ll worthy its past fair lame Their >r.:, my young friends, are for your advancement, their example for your present emulation, and your future will depend very much upon the manner in which you assist in the one, and follow the other. Your present is fraught with far more im portance to your future than many of you can perhaps, realize. If you slight the present it will be only when too late to remedy it, and the cares and responsibilities of life are fully upon you, that you will discover the criminality of the indifference of your boy hood, in the neglect of those preparations which are to qualify you for the duties and honors of manhood. God only can tell the number of that numerous class, who, hav ing passed their brightest years in indolence and depravity, find, in the bitter disap pointments of manhood, their inability to assume its responsibilities and discharge with honor its obligations. And their own saddened hearts alone can conceive the value of a single year of boyhood, with its endless train of opportunities, pleasures and duties. Then take heed that you do not slight the golden opportunities of your youth, but make this the occasion when your vow will be recorded iu the sacred dust ot affection, to pledge yourselves to an earnest and hon orable emulation of the virtues of your departed friends, that you may grow up to he honored and useful members of society—the boys the hope aud glory of their country, whilst beauty boldly marches in their wake, to ornament, by the purity and affection of their lives, the sacred relation of sister, wife, and mother. The Radical Scalawag-Negro papers of this State are making piteous appeals and indignant protests against the social and business ostracism, which, they fear, will be shown toward them, and which their own consciences tell them their infamy demands. We will bet anew Irish Potatoe that the writer of the above, which we clip from the “respectability,” Chronicle & Sentinel, would not be received in any respectable family in the city of Augusta.

THE ENGLISH PREMIERSHIP. London, May 0. —The Ministry has re signed. DTsraeli proposed a compromise, until alter the election, on the Reform bills, but Lord Stanley and Earl Molesbury refused to serve under D’lsraeli. The Queen sent for Gladstone. Gladstone said in the House it was unprecedented for a Ministry, beaten by seventy five majority, to think of dissolving Parliament. The Premier’s course was unconstitutional. The House was hostile lo the Ministry. The duty of Liberals was clearly to follow up resolves by action. They must go on. (Cheers.) They had no bargains to make. John Bright said DTsraeli asked the House to reverse Constitutional usage, that he might keep an office got by arts not the most worthy. DTsraeli asked why the House had not passed a vote of want of oonfidence. The debate on the Irish Church question was fixed for May 7th. The new Ministry is not yet formed. [second dispatch, j London,; May s.—The Queen refused D’lsraeli’s resignation. The dissenting members from the Minis try agreed, under the circumstances, to continue in office.
