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 paired, and re Opened for public Service on Sunday last. The organ, ninety years old, has been put hi complete tune. We are happy to ndd, says the Courier, Unit the liistoric chimes of Bt. Michael's, which were sent to Yngliind for repairs, rendered necessary by the ravages of war, nro on their return to tho eity, and will soon be restored to tho ChurcL. 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,” 8©“ LOOK AT THIS I—JACKSON F.
