LARGEST CITY CIRCULATION.
AUGUSTA, OA.I
iTIIURSDAY MORNING June 21. ls# ®
' The Education of the Negro.
We stated, some time ago, that the
Inferior Court of this County proposed
making arrangements for the establish
ment of free schools for white and col
ored children. Wo presume that the
want of funds has prevented that body
from carryiug out its intention in this
respect. It is to be hoped, however, that
the subject will not be allowed to drop,
but that measures will be taken as soon
as possible to establish such schools.
The education of the Negro should en.
gage our earnest attention. They are
now, by proclamation, free, and, by law,
citizens. It should be our duty to make
them good citizens; and withouteduca'
tion they cannot become good citizens.
To have them educated by our enemies
is au unwise policy. It teaches them to
look upon us as their enemies, instead of
what we really are, their only true and
sincere friends. We should, therefore,
take this matter in hand, aud establish
schools for them wherever necessary,
and furnish Southern teachers, who will
not waste time in making them sing
“ Down with the Rebels," and urging
them to believe that the pwr-ln of -he
South dream of nothing els.- ’ -
rues and oppress them. It «
nize the faces, create better feelings be
tween them, aud, we believe, work for
the general good. Besides this, it will
enable the patriotic, sclf-sacriGcing fe
males of New England to remain at
home, and make “ apple sass ” and abuse
the wicked “ Scouth” at their little con"
vivial backbiting tea parties.
This will be more in accordance
with their tastes and literary accom
plishments ; and much more agreeable
to them ; aud, we are free to say, that
it will be much more agreeable to our
people. We are exceedingly obliged to
them for the devoted interest which
they have shown in the educational and
spiritual and musical welfare of the
negro; but we hope they will not put
themselves to any trouble on this ac
count, aud, if they should come out this
way again, that it will be “when they
can’t stay so long” as they did before#
But, badinage aside, we seriously
think that some steps should be taken
by our people to educate the negro. In
Mississippi, some of the Professors of
tiie University of that State, and other
gentlemen, h«ve unite.! ... « on
this subject, which they strongly advo
cate and urge, upon the the attention of
the people. They state that, in Oxford,
they have established a Sabbath School
at which religious and secular instruc
tion is provided, and are of the opinion
that it will work well.
Wo do not know whether the County
is, as yet, able to move in the premises ;
but we fear that neither the Inferior
Court nor the City Council has the !
means to procure suitable buildings and i
pay the teachers, and provide for the
other necessary expenses. But some
thing should be doue, and the sooner
the better. We therefore, suggest that,
at the next meeting of the City Council
the subject should be referred to some
Committee to enquire into it and report
upon it as early as possible.
The African Organ in Augusta.
The Waynesboro (Ca.) Neu-s con
gratulates one of its eotemporaries on
the downfall of the African paper in
this city. The said paper still exists.
The News also deals a heavy blow at
the organ, a lit. follows :
Gone Up. —ln looking over tlie telegrams
contained in the Savannah Newt and Hr raid,
wo seo that James E. Bryant, late editor of
the notorious (?) Loyal Georgian, has “gone
up the spout’’ tor the time being—we hopo
for eves. Cause— fraud, money, freed mm.
In reading still further, wo find, unfor'u
n itely, that he has been, released by the wr
esting authority, having been provided
with bail by a negro, who, as jat, has not
been convinced of the genuine (?) friend
ship ever shown by this redoubtable “knight
of the quill.”
His worthless sheet has never been any
thing but a disgrace to the press of the
State, and a deep humiliation to that class
of people which it pretend* to represent. If
the liberated slaves of Augusta—of Georgia
—wish to support and sustain a journal
which would reflect their irt.--- ■ ore -is.
feelings and
cone t ' tneir neu„-.'Ui..y w ....
and secure tliut. respect iu lb" neo-papef
world which can never be attained under
the presen t regime.
While on this subject we may add
the following paragraph from the Cin
cinnati Commercial:
Augusta papers are uttorly silent in re
ference to General Tillson’s suppression of
the Loyal Georgian, as telegraphed to the
Nyw York Tribune. If the Tribune was
rightly informed, it is probable that Gen.
Tillsou prohibited the Augusta papers from
making any mention in the matter.
The Loyal Georgian has not been
suppressed, nor have the Augusta
papers been prohibited from making
any mention on the subject. In conclu
sion, we desire to say that our objec
tion to the leoyal Georgian is not be
cause it is a colored organ, but because
of its improper and injudicious course ;
and if it was properly conducted we
should be pleased to see it succeed and
Qourish.
A Good Thing. —A popular clergy
man of this city, says the Providence (R.
I.) Pre*s, has lately ceased to be a
house-keeper, leit his residence, and gone
elsewhere. The party who succeeded to
the ticcupancy has been greatly annoyed
by the daily calls of those who come for
assistance in a variety of forms. He
has at length resorted to a novel expe.
dient, which iias served, perhaps, a
double purpose, viz.: first, to relieve him
from bores; second, to let the beggars
see themselves as others see them. And
we may add that he has given the pub
lic an inßight into what a popular cler.
gyman has to endure. He posted upon
his front door'a card, upon which the
following was written in a baud as plain
as the talk itself:
TO ALL WHOM IT MAT CONCERN.
Dr. docs not live here, lie has
moved away from where he lives now, and
will not occupy this boiftc again till May
19th, 1861.
In consequence of this, the present in
cumbent has decided to suspend the free
liet. No books, maps, pictures, stationery,
or recipes of any kind, wanted. Have no
desire to put my name in any subscription
bonks, in order that it may be used for in
fluence. Have no old clothes except those I
am now wearing, and the customs of mod
em M oiety are unfortunately such that I
cauuot dispense with them. Have no cold
piee.ee, for we cannot get money enough to
purchase at one time more than we can eat
at one meat, consequently proprietors of
boarding houses will have to look elsewhere
for supplies. Tffls house will not be kept as
a hotel, and warm meals at all hours will
not be furnished. Have not a spear of hay
in the barn, or a single oat, and have not
taken care of horses since I drove on the
canal, which means that wo have no room
for horses or donkeys either.
Have no vacant rooms or beds tosparofor
agents, colporteurs, travelling ministers,
missionaries, teachers, ciders, beggars,
spongers, leeches, professional bores, seedy
students, soldiers, sailors, negroes, Frced
rnen's Aid Society agents, rebels or aboli
tionists, even though ministers in neighbor
ing towns and cities have told them to be
eure and call here.
No money to spare for any of the above
individuals or enterprises which they repre
sent, even though it' be for the laudable ob
ject of furnishing unborn African children
with red flannel night caps and line-tooth
combs.
In short, the minister docs not live here
now, and “old, old things have passed away,
and all are bocome new.”
av U.o Woiis. A far yearo
ago, when it was the custom large
girls and larger boys to attend district
schools, an incident took place in a
neighboring town which is worth re
cording. One of the fairest and plump
est girls of the school happened to vio
late Sue of the teacher’s rules. The
master, a prompt, energetic fellow of
twenty-five, summoned her into the mid
dle of the floor. After interrogating
the girl a few moments, the master
thundered out: “Will you give me your
hand? ” “Yes, sir, and my heart, too,”
promptly replied the girl, at the same
time stretching forth her hand to the
master, aud eyeing him with a cunning
look. A death-like silence reigned for
a moment in the school; a tear was seen
to glisten in the master’s eye ; the ruler
was laid upon the desk, and the blush
ing girl was requested to take her seat,
but to remain after the school was dis
missed. In three weeks afterthe school
finished, the teacher aud girl were mar
ried.—Schenecladi/ Star.
