Education.
Among the most important interests
of a State or community i* Education,
la a Republican form of government,
particularly should this interest be at
tended to and fostered. The people
heaa are said to be their own marten,
the shapers of their social and po
litical destinies—in short the sovereigns
of the land. If this be the case, how
necessary and important it is thnt they
should be educated, and properly edu
cated 1 It is not a smattering of Latin
and Greek, the solving of a lew problems
of Euclid, or a superficial knowledge of
Philosophy aud its kindred studies, that
will fit men and women for social and
political positions in life. These ore not
the things that are to construct vise
statesmen and intelligent women —moral
fathers and mothers of the Republic.
There is, undoubtedly and undeniably,
a defect in American education. It
savors too much of what Dickens so
graphically describes and so persistently
denounces in some of his novels, as “ the
forcing system ” —a kind of crowding
into a few jears studies that ought to
take a lifetime of earnest find devoted
attention to master them. The moral
and physical education, too, is too often
neglected, and the result is we have a
nation of superficial scholars—men who
can make a show by fine displays of
words, aud cover up all deficiencies by a
display of such accomplishments as im
press the minds of the masses with a
belief that they are scholars of the most
extraordinary proficiency. This display
consists in the use of Webster's ten and
fifteen syllable English words, mis-pro
nounced foreign languages,and a jargon,
purporting to be Latin, Greek, and pro
bably Sancscri* and Hebrew, on the part
of the men ; with a slight knowledge of
music, a lew embroidery pati.-n :.s, and a
smattering of the aforesaid unfortunate
classics, on the part of the women.
They learn nothing of the every-day
duties of life; they learn little or noth
ing of household management, of prac
tical knowledge, and their physical
development is wholly neglected.
There are exceptions to this as to all
other rules, but the whole system needs
revision, and those whose duty it is to
educate the young—the legislators and
teachers of the land should see to it that
a change for the better should take
place. Something less theoretical and
superficial, and more practical and
thorough is what is needed—something
that will suit every position in society;
something uniform; something free
from sectional and sectarian prejudices.
In the theological institutions of the vari
ous denominations, peculiar religious
views can be taught; but in the general
and secular schools, this should be
avoided, and sectional animosity banish
ed Irom all of them.
Education should also be free to the
people—not left to counties, communi
ties, or States, but established and foster
ed by the State Governments. Such a
system as that of Louisiana is worthy of
attention. It will, with some little im
provement, and to a considerable extent,
accomplish the desired object.
The colored people also need educa
tion, and this shonld also be given to
them under the auspices ot the State.
They are now, legally, citizens of the
United States, and it is to the interest
of our people to make them good citi
zens.
The snbjcct is, as we have said, alto
gether one of great importance, and
should receive the careful consideration
of our people and our Legislature. We
regret that we have not the time to do
more than thus briefly allude to it; but
to those whom we have just alluded,
we leave it for further consideration.
That “Usjust Wak.”—The Macon
Citizen has the following very just re
marks :
“Our neighbor, who, in times past,
has, in connection with the press of the
South, been under a thousand and one
obligations to the Southern Express
Company for favors, under a liberal
dead-head system, when the mails were
in a state of suspension, shonld not de
nounce that Company for waging an
“unjust war” against the National.
We have seen nothing but fair compe.
tition in the operations of the Southern
Express Company. It has made no war
upon its young rival, just or nnjust; and
there is no necessity whatever to get up
a prejudice against the Southern Ex
press Company on the subject of the
existing difficulties of the National.
These difficulties will, we hope, be sat
isfactorily adjusted, and both Compa
nies be sustained. But wh-.-iher «r dot,
we can not lift a band to strike u Com.
pauy to which we are under so many
obligations.

The Preservation of Pictures.
Almost as much mischief arises from
ignorant care as from want of care.
The mere dusting of pictures is a work
requiring some judgment; it should be
done with the softest of feather brushes,
and even these are dangerous when the
picture has a tendency to scale or blis
ter. Pictures are often carelessly wiped,
many persons believing that a silk
handkerchief can do no harm; but a
glauce at any old collection, and even at
some of our own public ones, will show
how this lias been abused; in many pic
tures scales have been torn off, the can
vases are, cracked all round the edges,
the corner pieces and bars of the stretch
er marked on the surface by undue pres
sure of the hand of the careless operator
as he polishes them; at times rubbing
even the paint away, but at least rubbing
in the dust rather than removing it.
Perhaps the best preservative for old pic
tures beyond dusting them with the feath
er brush, is to have them tenderly wiped
with cotton wool about once a year, by
the hands of some person qualified to'
do this with care and judgment. The
backs of all pictures, whether oil or
water color, should be covered with
painted cloth to exclude air and dust.
111-ventilated rooms are another
source of mischief to works of art.
Hundreds of fine picturea are hung in
close rooms, lighted with numerous can
dles or with gas, yet without the slight
est means of ventilation. It was shown
in the careful report on this subject by
Professors Faraday, Hoffman and Tin
dall, that the proceeds from the combus
tion of coal gas, unless wholly removed
from the apartment, are most deleteri
ous to pictures; but that gas unburnt
was almost innocuous, and its combus
tion might be made moat useful in pro
moting an active ventilation sufficient
to remove all the resulting evils: and
with them those almost equally deleteri
ous excretions rising in crowded rooms,
from condensed breath andan unchang
ed atmosphere.
While there are those who leave their
pictures from year to year untouched
and unuoticed, there are others who are
contiuually incrusting them with coats
of varnish. Under the dust or dirt of
years the picture rnay remain intact,
aud be brought, simply by careful wash
ing, to its first purity and freshness ; but
those who cover their pictures with >n
m:rouscoats of varnish is continually re
moved for new applications, remove with
it the last tender and most precious finish
ings of the painter. And here Ict us
again add our warning, at least in re
spect to British pictures, against the
new invention of solving the costs of
varnish on a picture, and letting them
subside into anew surface- Mattie
varnish enters so largely into the vcj i
cle with which such pictures are palm
ed that under this treatment varnish
and pigment may be found floatiug into
one common mana.

▲ Tarrible Warning-Sudden Death
of a Ibuphtmer.
On Thursday, the 13th ult, a prisoner,
known by the name of llolmas, was
struck with apoplexy while giving utter’
anccs to the moat horrid blasphemies i
and died the same day. The case was
so remarkable that it was reported in all
the dailies the same week. A few day*
ago all the circumstances connected
with the horrible affair wore described
to us, and we give them almost word for
word, as we received them, from several
respectable parlies, Protestants as well
as Catholics, and possessing the best
means of information.
Thompson (for Holmes was only an
assumed name] had been several years,
perhaps four or five, in the penitentiary,
having been convicted of horse stealing.
He was possessed of a vigorous consti
tution, and though an educated and
intelligent man, was a professed infidel,
and accustomed, on all occasions, to use
language of a profane and most bias
pheuious character. He was employed
at shoe making, aud on the latftj
Thursday, while thus engaged, en.
tered into ’conversation on religious
subjects with the only other prisoner
in the Cell, a Protestant, working
at the same trade. Thompson asked
his companion if his mother was a
Christian ; being answered in the affirm
ative, he observed that Christianity
was an imposture. The other prisoner
replied that Christianity could be proved
from the Bible. Thompson answered:
“ The Bible is like an old fiddle, you can
play any tune you please on it.” When
reminded that at least the divine char
acter of the founder of Christianity was
clearly set forth in the Bible, Thompson
asserted with great vehemence that
“ Jesus Christ was a bastard, aud his
mother a ,” a name which none but
the vilest rutiian would apply to even the
most degraded woman. Thompson had
hardly given utterance to these horrible
words, when his cell-mate observed that
he was falling from the bench on which
he sat, aud catching him in his arms
gave the alarm.
A physician was summoned imme
diately, but the case was one beyond the
reach of medical skill. Some said the
poor man was attacked by apoplexy,
others might suspect that he had been
struck by the hand of Cod. There with
distended pupils, palsied tongue, and
rigid limbs, lay the wretched blas
phemer. After twenty-four hours spent
in this condition, he passed to his final
account. Once more had the ‘ Galilean”
triumphantly vindicated His own honor,
and more signally avenged the insult
offered His Mother.
Postal Facilities with Switzer
land. —Letters and printed matter of
every kind posted in the United States
and addressed to Switzerland may be

papers, gazettes and periodical works,
four cents for each weight of three ounces

ounce or fraction of an ounce, prepay
ment required.
Important I)f.cision. —At Sumter
Superior Court, last week, Judge Speer
presiding, a decision was made that
may be of general interest. A negro
was arraigned on an indictment for rape,
when his counsel moved to dismiss the
proceedings on the ground that the
party charged had already been arraign
ed, tried and punished by a military or
provost court, the crime having been
committed upon the person of a white
wonjan, and the punishment inflicted,
ball and chain for three months. The
Judge decided that the plea could not
avail the prisoner unless it should be
shown that he belonged either to the
army or navy of the United States.
The trial, thereupon, proceeded, and
the party was convicted, aud sentenced
to twelve years in the Penitentiary,
Oct of Danger.— A hard-shell
preacher wound up a flaming sermon
with this magnificent effusion:
“ My brethren and sistern, es a man’s
full of religion you can’t hurt hjm.
There were three Affriean children;
they pat them in a fiery furnaco, heated
Seven times hotter than it could be het,
and didn’t swinge a hair on their heads.
And there was'John Evangler; they
put him—where do you think they put
him ? They put him in a caldron of
bilin ile, and bilod him all night, and
didn't faze his shell. And then there
was Daniel; they put him into a lion’s
d< n—and what, my follow'travellers
and respected authorities, do you think
he was put into a lion’s den for ? For
praying three times a day. Don’t be
alarmed, brethren and sistern ; I don’t
think any of you will over get into a
lion’s den.”
The Catholic Plenary Council.—
This body was in business session yes
terday, being divided into seven com
mittees, each presided over by an Arfch
bishop, and each committee reporting
business for the body, which meets in
the afternoon. Every - night, except
Thursday and Saturday, sermons will
be delivered in the Cathedral to {ho
public. Last evening the sacred edi
fice was thronged to listen to the ser
mon of the Right Rev. Dr. Rosoncrains,
his subject being, “Faith eometh with
hearing.” To-night tho sermon will be
delivered by the Right Rev. Thomas L.
Grace, Bishop of ht. Paul, the subject
not yet being designated.— Bullifityrc

Wht the Adjourned Term or tiie
Circuit Court at Richmond was not
held. —The Adjourned term of the Cir
cuit Court which was to be held at
Richmond was not held, because it was
found that the Acta of Congress did not
warrant the adjournment from Norfolk.
At the last session the number of cir
cuits was reduced to nine, and all of
them, except the first end second, mate
rially changed. It is thought that the
old allotment ot the Chief J ustice and
Associates to the circuits as formerly
constituted, does not give them jurisdic
tiou iu the new. It is understood ibut
Chief Justice Chase has submitted this
point to the other Justices, and that the
question whether the Circuit Court will
be held this fall in the altered Circuits
by the Chief and Associate Justices
and District Judges, or by the District
Judges alone, will be determined in
conformity with the views of the ma
jority.
There is good reason to say that in a
few days the Jeff Davis matter will be
settled, so far as the responsibility <f
the Administration for the trial of the
prisoner ia concerned. There it no
doubt that some action will be taken by
the President. Chief Justice Chase,-
Judge Underwood, the United States
District Attorney for Virginia, and the
United Slates Marshal, will be severally
' notified formally that Davis is held sub
ject to the writ of the United States
Circuit Court, to answer the indictment
found in that Court. These officers of
thfc law, will be requested so take imme
diate custody of the prisoner, and re
lieve the Administration of further re
sponsibility. Upon a showing to be
made in a few days, it will be found
that the responsibility for the trial, or
delay in bringing it about, is with
Judges Chase and Underwood. —Late
Northern Dispatch.
A Country Order. —A rural belle,
who wants to be the leader of the fash
ions in Paducah, sent the following
order for “filters” to a friend, who made
the required purchase of Ben. Baker, at
the New York Store, who shipped the
“hoops” to her, care of Len Faxon,
Paducah, Ky. As they are very “hi,”
we presume the down the river “Faxy”
