Say of FMting, Humiliation and’
Pray or.
In accordance with 'a Resolution of
the Ooncral Assambly of this Sum
and the Proclamation oMIl* Excel
lency, the Governor, Utlay >hhs been
specially sat apart as a r “ Day of Fast
in*, of Hiwpijipiiop, and of Prajv," to
ths Gitar of All Good* Wid*.at ques
tioning the propriety of ths eitil au
thority assuming privileges which be
long solely to the Religions order, and
recommending the observance of Fasts
and Thanksgivings to the people, we
invite our readers to a serious observ
ance of the present recommendation.
It is the duty of ail to acknowledge
dependence upon the Supreme Ruler of
the Universe ; and we do well to hum
ble ourselves in fasting, and penitence,
and supplication before Him ; beseech
ing Hint to withhold the sod of chastise
ment from us, And bo bestow upon us
such blessings as we deserve.
Let us observe this day, • then, in a
manner becoming those who believe in
au overruling Providence, and who
acknowledge the power, and the good
ness of God, in a mauner becoming
good citizens.
Governor Jenkins, in his Proclama
tion appointing this day, eloquently con
cludes:
“ For sinning, not against Pliaroah,
but against GOD, Israel of old wan
dered forty years in the Wilderness.
In the Wilderness are we now, Fellow
Citizens. Our Corn and our Oil have
failed of their abundance—our flocks
and our herds are diminished. The cry
of want is l heard in ,onr land—the
manna and the quails come not yet.
But the throne of God is a Mercy
Seat. If sought aright, He will grant
ns deliverance and plenty.”
Public Schools.
A bill is now before the Gedrgia Leg
islature providing a system of Public
Schools for the State. A synopsis of
this Bill we published a few days ago.
Its general features are very good; but
some of its details are, in our judgment,
very objectionable. We venture, with
all due respect to the superior judgment
and experience of our Legislators, to
suggest that the system in vogue in South
Carolina’arid Louisiana is not only worthy
of consideration but of practical applica
tion in this State. In the Bill now under
consideration, the State Superinteudent
is to be appointed by the Governor for
two years. We think it would be better
to extend the term of office to five, or
ten years, or even during good behavior;
as the more experience he possesses, the
more advantage wiil the system and the
schools under it derive, and there is no
reason why the officers of the system
should he used for practical purposes.
Let us keep them aloof from party poli
tics as much as possible. The education
of the people is, too high and sacred a
duty to be dragged into the mud of the
political arena. For this reason we
deem that section of the Bill, which sub
mits the election of District Trustees to
the people as unwise and fatal to the
success of the schools. The appoint
ment of the County Commissioner by
the Grand Juries, we also look upon as
an error. Why not authorize the Gov
ernor to appoiut the State Superintend
ent for ten years; the Superintendent to
appoint the County Commissioners for
the same time; and the County Commis
sioners to appoint the District Trustees
or Board of Directors, in the respective
counties also for the same time? We
really think it would be far better than
the plan proposed in the Bill, It is true
that it would give a great deal of au
thority to individuals; but it is to be
presumed that, in this case,-individual
judgment will be safer than the popular
vote.
There is no political advantage to be
gained, or, at none should be at
tempted to be gained, by the appoint
ment of school officers ; and, therefore,
there is no reason why Such appoint
ments should be submitted to the popular
vote. Let us have good men, compe
tent men, to fill these places; apply
such balances and: checks to them as
will compel them to do their duty ; or,
in thb event Os official mjsconduct or
neglect, they should be dismissed from
office at onec. Their salaries should be
liberal and sufficient to induce them to
discharge their duties faithfully and
promptly.
Then there h another serious objee'
tion, to which we invite the attention of
the Legislature—one to which we have
heretofore alluded. It is this: Under
the present system, as well as in the Bill
under consideration, the Teachers are
allowed so much per day for each scholar,
lost time on the part of pupils or Teachers
being dedneted. This plan may have
suited the olden time well enough, but
it will not suit the present. To have
competent and efficient Teachers, they
must be liberally paid for their services.
To pay them ns is done at present is to
render them careless of the conduct of
their scholar*, and negligent of the
trust confided to them. It is to their
interest to induce an unremitting at
tendance on the part of ouch pupil, anil
to secure this, .they will sometimes,
doubtless, overlook the faults of tlio
crrinffi br allow others to have their own
way Li the prosecution ot their studies*
Thus, the Teacher is often limes com
pelled, by his or her circumstances,'to
neglect his or her duly, to the disadvan
tage ol the pupil, and the detriment of
the system. This is really no offence on
the part*of tlie Teachers. It is a neces
sity forced upon them by the system
itself; and a necessity and an evil which
wtraty be instantly removed, if compe
tent salaries were substituted in place of
insufficient fees. As it is proposed to
levy a special tax fbr educational pun
po*c4 in any event, let the Legislature
, abolish this pro rate system <4 paying
i Teachers, and substitute in its place a
salary that will rotonvand talent, energy,
jwil industry in all_lh§ schools. This is
au important point, and will, it is (a be
bop dl, receive the most earnest consid
eration. -i c t > 1 ■
. Then thora should be a State Normal
School or two, in which teachers should
be prepared fbr the duties which they
havejto perform ; and a High School in
each county, where the pupils oould be
fitted for College or for commercial pur
suits. These are- es«ential features of
tkePublic School system, which should,
under no oircumstances, be overlooked.
If we are going to have a system of
public education- under the title of
“ Georgia Schools," let it be one that
will do credit to the State, and honor to
its projectors. We want no “ old field
schools,” with political Superintendents,
political Commissioners, and political
Trustees, to appoiut incompetent Teach-1
orsj or work the political interests of
party friends. Better that we- have no
free schools at all. Better have the pre
sent almost antedeluvian system. Bet
ter have the name, “ Georgia Schools,”
at least, stricken from the Bill, no
disgrace shall attach to the proud name
of the glorious old Commonwealth,
through its unfortunate attachment to
an unworthy measure. No. The peo
ple want to see education "placed within
the reach of all—rich and poor. They
want to see it elevated to ,its proper
standard. And they want no penu'
system that will end in failure and in
jury to the cause of education. Let our
Legislatures, then, remodel their Bill;
fix up a system that will accomplish the
desired end, and do credit to the State;
and tax the people whatever is necessary
to put in operation and establish it upon
a sure foundation.
We are aware that our people are
greatly tax-ridden already—that to advo
cate increased taxation is unpopular; but
the enlightenment of the people, the
education of the young, is one of the
most important duties incumbent upon
us; and whatever taxation is necessary
to accomplish this object, ought to be,
and will he, we feel sure, cheerfully
borne and promptly paid by the people
of Georgia. They want a correct sys
tem; and they will pay for it, whatever
is required.
SUBSCRBIERS- AXD BORROWERS. The
Richmond Examiner says that to sub
scribe to a newspaper is prim a facie
evidence of a philanthropic disposition,
in at least one important particular.
The man who takes a newspaper meets
the high requirement of patriotic and
enlighteued citizenship in yielding a
quid pro quo of returning value lor
value, and enjoys the loity satisfaction
of paying fojr his instruction and-enter
tainment; per contra, witness the re
volting picture embodied and delineated
in the attributes of the non-subscribing,
selfish, sponging reader of the papers or
others. a character must ulti
mately go on from bad to worse. If
admitted to intimacy, he will not only
borrow your money, making no return
and giving no receipt, but will cheerfully
wear your hat or boots, and even appro
priate for temporary use your fine-tooth
comb or tooth-brush. A test of intelli
gence and virtue should be the taking
of a newspaper, and a rigidly applied
criterion of jpietv, the prompt meeting
of all obligations to the press.
Importaxce ok Advertising. —The
following from the Pittsburg Gazette, a
sketch or a business house in that city,
admirably illustrates our views ;
“ In a brief interview with one of our
most liberal patrons, a few days since
we inquired his experience of the policy
of advertising. We regard his answer
as noteworthy, and commend it to the
consideration of others. He said the
same kind of business in which he is
engaged had been carried on at the
same stand for ten years by one* and
nearly three years by another prede
cessor. That these men gave diligent
attention to their business, were sober
and frugal, but spent nothing for adver
tising. They were jast able to eke out
a living. That he bought out the con
cern teu years ago, and began debtor
for the whole establishment.. He felt
poor, aud ouly expeuded fifty dollars
per anaam in each of tho business pa
pers; the first year; that subsequently
he increased his expenses to several
thousand dollars annually for adver
tising, and the result has demonstrated
its marvelous utility, and he is to-day
worth $175,000, and his annual profits
are constantly increasing.
Gen. Bbeckinridgk.—A correspond
ent of a Kentucky paper, who visited
John C. Breckinridge in Canada, pre
vious to his departure for Europe, denies
the reports that large contributions of
money had been sent him by friends iti
the United States, and states that he has
been living upon a few thousand dollars
savid from his salary as a Confederate
General, and obtained in gold in Cuba.
Theeorrespondcnt states that Gen.Breck
inridge occupied a neatly furnished
house, sufficient fbr his family and tho
prudent entertainment of such friends
as sought his society, at a cost of only
twelve dollars per mouth. Other ex
penses of living ware at tho same rea
sonable rules.
—The Charleston. Quurier announces
Si. Michaels Church completely re

on Sunday last. The organ, ninety

Th| Jockied Frenchman.
A Franch matt in this Country, who
was little acquainted with horse joekies
or horae’flesh, was grievously taken in
by a cheat in the purchase of a stsßd
lie gave ten dollars fora miserable jade
of an old mare that had been fattened
up to sell; and she .turned out to be a
ring-boned, spavined, blind and wind
. brokeu. The Etypchman soon discov
ered I that he had been used up in the
trade, and went to request the jockey to
take back tho animal and refund the
mouuy.
‘ Sitre,” said he, ”1 have fetched back
do mare horse vat you sell me, and-1
vant de money in my pocket back.”
“Your pocket back/’ returned the
jockey, feigniug surprise; “I don’t un
derstand you.”
“ You no stand under me ?” said the
Frenchman, beginning to gesticulate
furiously ; * you uo stand under me ?
sare, by gar—you be von grand ras
calle-r—you be like Sant—like Sam —vat
you call de little mountain ?"
“ Sant Hill I suppose jou min,” said
the jockey.
“ Qui, Monsieur—Sam de Hill—yes
sare, you be just like two Sam Hill-
You sqjl me one mare for one hundred
dollalres—and he no vorth one hundred
cent, Iby gar 1”
“ Why, what’s the matter with .ilia
beast?” .
** Mattair! sacra! mattair did you say?
Vy, he’s all mattair—he no go at all—
he got no leg, no feet, no vind—he no
see nobody at all trfd dat eye—he go
vTteeze o-v-heeee-o, like one forge ham
mer bellows—he go limp, limp—he
never go over all the ground—he no
travel two mile in three day. Oui, sare,
he is one grand cheat —you musU-taJke
him a id fund de money backi” ;
“Refund the money ? Ob, no, I could
not think of such a thing.”
“Vat 1 You no fund me back the
money I You cheat me vid one hun
dred dollaire horse dat not go at all.”
“I never promised you that she would
go-”
“By gir ! what is one horse good for
ven he no go 1 He no better as oue
dead shackass, by gar! Vill you, sare,
take the m-are horse back, and give me
my money vot I pay for him ?”
“No, sir, I cannot. It was a fair bar
gain ; your eyes were your own market,
as we gentlemen of the turf say."
“Gentlemen de turf 1 You be no gen
tleman at all—you be no turf. Mon
dieu ! you be one grand turk—you sacre
damn deeeptionee. You cheat your
own born mudder ; you play your ras
callo trick on your own gotten sadder
you have no principnile.”
“The interest is what I go for.”
“Yes, sare, your interest is no prin
cipaile. You be von grand rascall
cheat.”
Failing to obtain redress of the jockey,
the poor Frenchman sent his “mare
horse” to the auctioneer to be sold. But
the auctioneer seems to be as great u
jockey, for he took good care that the
fees tor selling should eat up tho price
he got for the steed.
“By gar,” said the Frenchman, when
relating the story, “I be sheated all
round. De jockey horse, he sheaty me
in trade, and the hauctioneer he sheaty
me in dispose of de hannnimaile ; he
sells the mare-horse for ten dollaire. and
by gar, he sharzed me eleven dollaire
for sell him, mon dieu, so I be take all
round in. I lose leven and one hundred
dollaire in my pocket claire, for one
sacre dam limp, limp, vheeze vind, no
see at all, good for nothing shape of a
mare horse, vorse as nineteen dead
jackass, by gar.”
The Right Sentiment. —We do not
pretend to speak for all the Southern
people—some there are whose hearts
may be full of cowardice for all we
know—but for ourselves, and many
whom we have seen tried in the fiery
ordeal of battle, we can say that they,
and we, would prefer to dangle at tbe
rope’s end, rather than ask for pardon,
and thereby acknowledge the guilt of
treason. Wo acknowledge no such
guilt. In the forum of conscience, we
are acquitted of that crime, nay, our
action is not only approved there, but
we are proud that it was our glorious
privilege to have assisted in the battle
for our liberties and our homes.— Wil
mington Dispatch.
A Graceful Compliment. —No
father ever made a more judicious reso
lution, or paid a more graceful compli
ment to his wife, than he, who, in an
swer to the question as to what he in
tended to do with his girls, said : I in
tend to apprentice them all to their ex
cellent mother, that they may learn the
art of improving time, and bo fitted to
become, like her, wives, mothers,-heads
of families, and useful members of so
ciety.
llow Sad.—l pressed her gentle form
to me, and whispered in her ear; if,
when I was fur away, for me she'd drop
a lear; I paused for some cheering
words, my throbbing heart to cool, and
with her rosy lips she said, “ Qh, Ike
you're sick a fool.”
IXidn’t Know.—“Do you like codfish
balls, Mr. Wiggins?”
Mr. Wiggins, hesitatingly: “I really
don’t know, Miss; I don’t recollect at
tending one,”
