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. r-“' in..' _ 1 Special Notices. DR. J. P. 11.
