Milledoevillek, Nor. 19, 1858.
Messrs. Editors. —May I ask the insertion
of the following patriotic and liberal views,
of the able and distinguished President of
Oglethorpe University. They are worthy
of the source from whence they came.
Respectfully,
THO3. R. R. COBB.
T. R. R. Cobb, Esq,—Dear Sir:—You
ask for a brief and summary expression of
my views as to the relation which education
bears to the State and Church, respectively,
and the proper basis on which educational
systems should be organized and conducted.
These are grave questions, worthy of the
profoundest reflection of the patriot and the
Christian.
Their bearings are far reaching, for time
and eternity.
Some of the principles bearing on this
subject seem to me to be very obvious. But
as to the practical details that should guide
the action of civil governments, I ant look
ing with intense interest after the results yet
to flow from experiments now in operation
in various States of the Union.
The State and Church are both Divinely
appointed ordinances—both indispensable to
the well-being of man. The State looks af
ter the temporal interest of society; the
Church mainly after its spiritual and eternal,
and subordinately, alter its temporal welfare.
The State—and especially a republic—de
pends for its happiness, upon the virtuous
intelligence of its citizens, and must there
fore, ex necessitate rei, cherish education as its
life's blood. The Church again cannot enjoy
enlightened piety in her membership unless
she cultivates the minds, as well as the hearts
of her off-pritig—and she must have some
authority to direct education within her own
fold, or she has no guarantee for sound reli
gious instruction. Fatal error may sap her
foundations she cannot direct the teachings
of her children.
How, then, shall we harmonize and recon
ci'e the two, and make them co-operate for
the attainment of the greatest good ? Here
lies the practical difficulty, viz : To secure
education for the greatest number, and to
the highest extent, and yet to guard tbe
Temple of Science from false teachings and
corrupt sentiments.
There are many disfricts in every State
where the Church has but little power—
where, from the fewness of Church mem
bers, or their divisions as different denomi
nations, they cannot systematically and har
moniously co-operate effectually. Here the
State must do the work of education, or
Kx*ts/ It lor> mss lljG ll'gllGOt UC*
partments of art and science, State endow
ments seem to be called for, to secure the
largest facilities for instruction.
My conclusion, then, is, that both Church
and State not only have a right, but are
bound to teach, or to secure its being done—
and that it 13 a narrow ar.d bigoted ultraism
to discourage the one or the other from the
work ot teaching. Let them both act; there
is abundant room for both. Let neither be
discouraged. There need be no collision—
no jealousy; no antagonistic movements.
There has been unfounded jealousy against
denominational education in Georgia. It is
giving way before the happy results which
are flowing from these institutions, in the
elevation of the standard of enlightenment
in the churches—the increased supply of
good teachers —the enlarged intelligence of
the Christian ministry—the impulse and
quickening imparted to the cause of educa
tion generally.
As the Churches are aiding the State to
educate—hitherto entirely without expense
to the State, whilst church members have
teen amongst the largest tax payers, the
State may now in return, well and wisely,
afford to aid Church institutions, and make
them her agents to a very large and increased
extent, in benefiting both Church and State.
And as the Churches are interested deeply
in the welfare of the State, the various de
nominations may wisely encourage their
members to aid the State in doing, for the
enlightenment of the people at lurge, what
the Denominations cannot do as separate
bodies.
Georgia has now in her hands the facili
ties for making the most enviable education
al endowment of any State in the Union,
and of becoming emphatically the Model
State of the Nation. Now is the golden op
portunity, and if not improved, it will depart
from us, probably never to return. And shall
any citizen of Georgia, from the paltry con
sideration of the few dimes or dollars to he
retained annually in her coffers, by the low
ering of her taxes, oppose a grand educa
tional scheme? The man that has one spark
of State pride, cannot be so recreant as to
trifle with this opportunity to aid in promot
ing the lasting glory of his State—such a
man is unworthy the bright heritage with
which God has entrusted him.
Let the income of the State Road—as the
Governor aud other able advocates of edu
cation has suggested—be mainly devoted to
the cause of education. Let all parties and
inteiests unite iu building up a free school
system that will guarantee a good education
to every child iu the State, encouraging the
counties respectively, by voluntary taxation,
to add to what the Treasury of the State
may give them. Let the denominational
colleges be well endowed, and give educa
tion to undergraduates. Let all interests
unite for a magnificent endowment of a
State University, and let all its teachings be
confined to those who bring diplomas—ex
cept in case of those who confiue their stu
dies to a scientific course.
I do not mean by this*suggestion to imply
the abandonment of the present Collegiate
Department at Athens —but the establish
ment of a separate and distinct University
system. I have no prejudice arising from
the proximity of its location to Franklin
College, provided the graduates from all the
Denominational Colleges shall enjoy its priv
ileges upon an equal footing. In this con
nection, I would add—that in providing for
the education of poor young men for l’each
ets, at the expense ot the State, I st e no ob
jection to the State giving a preference in
numbers to her own College. The several
denominational institutions are sustained and
supported by the rel gious sentiments of
their respective churches. The State should
foster her own, at the same time acknow
ledging the usefulness and efficiency of the
other colleges, by entrusting to their care al
to, a portion of the teachers thus to bo in
structed.
I will add, that after the most mature re
flection I have been enabled to give this sub
ject, I consider it important to the citizens
of Georgia, that there should be a State Col
lege for under-graduites. The Episcopalian,
the Lutheran, the Roman Catholic, the Jew,
and others should not be forced to the neces
sity of sending their sons beyond tbe bounds
of the State, or else placing them under the
care of to whose
tenets they may object. For while I know
—from long connection with one of those
colleges—that no such interference is exer
cised with the religions opinions of students,
as would be objectionable to the most fasti
dious, yet I am aware of the existence of
. such scruples, aud I would not put it beyond
the power of any parent to respect them.
The University of Virginia is doing agreat
work, and yet there is one sad defect in its
organization. It encourages uneducated
young men to resort to the teachings of its
learned professors, who are utterly unquali
fied in attainments ok age, to be benefit ted
by the Lectures. Not more thau one-fourth
of the pupils are the better for their oppor
tunities. The remainder leaves those walls
nearly as uneducated as they were when
they repaired to them, and are cut off from
ever getting a good education by having
been tempted to undertake what they were
utterly incompetent to do.
The wisest heads and the maturest and
soundest experience are eminently called for
to devise a plan of edncation for Georgia.
Empiricism here should have no place.
Education should be sound and thorough,
and great pains should be taken to secure
proper moral and religious influence in the
teachings imparted—for education without
religious influence, would prove a curse ra
ther than a blessing.
If the main portion of the income of the
State Road could be set apart to promote
some judicious system of public education,
it would prove the greatest possible blessing
to the Saate. Indeed the Road can be made
an exhaustless mine of riches to the people
—not only by imparting a general spirit of
internal improvement, which will develope
the boundless resources of the State, but by
pouring out its treasures to the enlighten
ment of the public mind, and giving mental
power to the rising generation to mould
wisely the r : ch materials that God is putting
into their hands for the promotion of His
glory and the good of humanity.
It is an auspicious sign to see so many of
our Legislators and citizens interested deeply
in the noble cause of education, and to see
our excellent Governor leading the way iu
enlarged educational suggestions.
I cannot close, without expressing my high
gratification with the views, I had the plea
sure of hearing you express on Saturday
night in the Representative Hall of the State
House. I believe I do not dissent from a
solitary view presented by you on the occa
sion. And I feel that, in common with my
fellow-citizens in Georgia, I owe you a debt j
of gratitude for your noble exertions in be
half of the cause of education.
I am, my dear sir, very truly yours,
SAMUEL K. TALMADGE.
From the Corner Stone.
3lr. TuEmudge’s Letter.
If there were any want of evidence as
to the impropriety both in principle and
policy of the scheme of public education,
upon which a great many men of the
country are running crazy, that evidence
is furnished, in ample abundance, by the
letter of the Rev. Samuel Iv. Talmadge
to Mr. Thomas 11. li. Cobb.
We confess we were not at all pre
pared to see such sentiments emanating
from such a source. The Rev. gentleman
seems to be able to accord to those who
difFer with him none but unworthy mo
tives, and to feel himself at liberty to
denounce such as unworthy the blessings
they enjoy. We should like to know
where he obtained such authority. Is
he endowed with infallibility, that he
may not err in judgment ? Suppose he
is; does he deem it compatible with a
spirit of Christian charity to hold up to
public scorn and indignation those who,
in their weakness, or their ignorance,
may not be able to see and understand
as clearly as himself the great beauties
and benefits of the system he is advoca
ting?
Whence does he derive his authority,
as a Christian Minister, to advocate leg
islation in favor of education, as the ad
junct of Christianity ? llow dare he to
put them together] Much more how
dare he make Christianity dependent up
on what he calls education ? We do not
remember that any where his master
gave any such authority. We do not
recollect a single instance in which he re
quires a knotvledge of the Languages, or
of Astronomy, or Conic Sections, or of
Geometry, or Algebra, or even the abil
ity to read, as a qualification of a disci
ple, or as necessary to understand or
practice his precepts. He preached to
the multitude, and he taught individuals,
but we have no record that he ever
taught any of them to read or to write.
We arc told of his healing the sick, rais
ing the dead, feeding the multitude, but
never once of his teaching them arithme
tic. He seems to have chosen his Apos
tles, it not on account of their want of
worldly learning, certainly not because
of their possession of it, and when he
sent them out upon their mission it
formed no part of their authority to ed
ucate either the poor or the rich ; “ and
as ye go, preach, saying, the Kingdom of
Heaven is at hand ; heal the sick, cleanse
the leper, raise the dead, cast out devils
, —freely ye have reeeivtd, freely give.”
Nothing here about teaching them to
read and write; nothing about endow
ing Colleges; nothing about a Universi
ty ; nothing about getting money for all
or any of these things. Indeed he sems
to have guarded specially against it. lie
seem* to have known that if they were
allowed to use their power f.jr the pur
pose of getting money, they would for
get their great business, and go to seek
ing after worldly honor and worldly
power, for he says to them “ provide
neither gold noi silver, nor biass in
your purse, nor yet staves, for the work
man is worthy of his meat.” This seems
to be a promise to secure to them a liv
ing, and nothing else—it is his promise
payable to bearer on demand* and so fai
ns we know or have ever heard, it has
never been dishonored. lie did not
promise to secure them agairnt persecu
tions, or stripes, or death; and we have
heard of Ministers of the Gospel who
were imprisoned, and beaten and tortur
ed, and burnt at the stake, but we never
yet heard of one who died from starva
tion. And “when John had heard in
the prison the works of Christ, he sent
two of his disciples and said unto him—
Art thou He that should come, or do we
look for another? Jesus answered and
said unto them, Go and shew John again
those things which ye do hear and see.”
And what w T ere they ? That lam build
ing up a great University ? No. That
I am collecting large amounts of money
to endow Colleges? No. That I am
gathering up great treasure to build up
a magnificent school system, by which I
shall teach every body to read and write?
No. It was none of these. Well, then,
what was it ? What was it that wa* to
furnish the evidence of his great mission?
Why it was that “ the ulind reoeivc their
sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are
cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are
raised up.” These are very great things;
but there is one yet greater than all—
“ and the poor”—well, what of the poor?
—taught to read and write ? No; “and
the poor have the gospel preached to
them.”
There is a remarkable phraseology
here—“ Go and shew John again.” John
had seen and heard of these things be
fore, and although he had announced his
coming and his character, although had
baptized him; although he had seen the
spirit of God descending like a dove and
lighting upon him,” and had heard “ a
voice from heaven saying, this is my well
beloved Son in whom I am well pleased,”
yet when he saw them engaged in no great
worldly projects, for his worldly aggrand
izement, he doubted. John, perhaps,
had some of the same feelings and hopes
of the rest of the Jews, that he would
be a great earthly potentate, and if he
had set about controlling the Roman
Empire; If he had relieved the Jews
from their bondage; if he had restored
the Jewish Nation to its ancient power
and splendor; if he had endowed Col
leges, and established Schools, John pro
bably never would have doubted. But
when he saw him joining no combination
to secure to himself power, or grandeur,
or wealth; w hen he saw him attempting
to exercise no control over governments
or men ; when he did not even send and
take his forerunner out of prison; when
he saw him addressing himself to the
hearts of individuals, directing them
what they should do with themselves, for
themselves, and their fellow men ; when
he saw him giving and not receiving;
whan ho oaw him denying himself and
teaching others self-denial; when he saw
him sapping the foundations of world
ly power and worldly grandeur, and
eradicating the incentives to their pur
suit, by teaching meu to do unto others
as they would that others should do un
to them, and to love their neighbor as
themselves, he began to doubt whether
he was “ he that should come.”
So far as the record informs us, world
ly learning and the love of money stood
more in his way than any every thing
else, as they do this day. His opposers
and persecutors were the scribes, the
Pharisees, and the High Priests. His
converts and followers were chiefly
among the poor, the humble, and the un
learned. He could cast out deaf devils,
and dumb devils, and all sorts of devils,
but the devils of learning and the love
rtf money. When he took his disciples
from the poor, the humble, and the un
learned, he had only to say “ follow me,”
and they followed him, but when he
wanted Saul of Tarsus, he had to exhibit
liimself in a great and supernatural light
at midday, strike him down as dead, make
aim blind and then tell him what to do.
Soul was a learned man. The only one
of his twelve disciples that he lost, was
from the love of money, and the only
man to whom he ever made a direct and
personal appeal, that we remember, that
he failed to convert, was the young man
whose resistance to his love and his pro
mises, drew forth that remarkable and
terrible saying—“lt is easier for a Cam
el to go through the eye of a needle than
fora rich man to enter into the Kingdom
of God ” There it stands, that awful
saying of a Most High God; in this our
day when every man and every church
are straing every nerve to be rich, and
the preachers dare not preach from it.
So far as we know, nobody has preached
from it since the days of John Wesley.
The infidelity and unbelief was, then,
amongst the learned and the wealthy—
it is so now. It is our deliberate opin
ion that there are as much infidelity, as
much unbelief, and as much hatred of,
and opposition to, Christ and his doc
trines and his precepts, in the Churches
thi3 day, as there was amongst the Jews,
when he was upon the earth ; and we
see no reason why the Jews may not
now come in, for we are recognizing just
such a Mesiah as they were looking for.
It is true, our preachers sometimes talk
about “ the meek and lowly Jesus ;” but
where is the type of his spirit in the
churches ? If he were to come to-day
and require of us the meekness and hu
mility, the self-denial and the purity
which he taught while upon the earch.
he would be hustled out as quickly as
the Jews shove him out of the Syna
gogue.
No, the Christ that we recognize now,
is one that goes for worldly power and
worldly greatness, arid worldly grandeur,
who urges us on to fine dress,fine equip
pages, splendid mansions aud great
wealth ; to nuigniflicent churches, richly
endowed colleges —one who enlists our
pride, our envy and our feeling* of strife
and contention, and of contest. The
Baptists, the Methodists, and Presbyte
rians, are using their power in Georgia
to-day —the power of their numbers, to
operate upon politicians and aspirants
for office and power, to impose burthens
upon the people, for their aggrandize
ment as Church organizations. They are
corrupting Church and Slate by it.
Mr. Talmadge talks about people ob
jecting to being taxed for his great
scheme. Let us see how he would like
it. Suppose we tax all the people and
endow a great Methodist College, and
leave out all the rest, won’t that be do
WO. CSCS.
mg God and State service? Can’t the
people be taught and enlightened and
educated, and christianized l>v the Meth
odist ns well ns by nuv body else ? What
difference does it nuke who d>es it,, so
that the people gets the great
and God gets the glory ? Oh, no,
that would be unjust, to tax Presby
terians, Baptists and Episcopalians, for
the benefit of the Methodists. Well,
ain’t it as unjust to tax Roman Catholics
and J •-■ws, and those of no denomination,
f>r the Methodist, Baptists and Presby
terians, as it would be to tax the Pres
byterians and Baptists f..r the Methodist?
Docs the mere matter of numbers change
the principle of justice. If it does let
us endow a Methodist and a Baptist
College, and leave out the Presbyterians.
There would be a majority of the church
members of the Sratc.
Is Mr. Talmadge, or the Methodists,
or the Baptists, willing to endow a Ro
man Catholic College, and a Jewish Col-
Are they willing to be taxed for
that purpose? Not they.
The truth is, those who want endow
ments expert and desire to get an unfair
advantage over somebody. If the Pres
byterians, the Methodist or the Baptists
of the State wanj Colleges, they are per
fectly able to build and endow them.
M e can pick out of either denomina
tion a thousand men living in Georgia,
who can appropriate a million of dollars
for that object, without requiring of any
one of them the sacrifice of a single lux
ury which they now enjoy; and either
one of whom can better spare his por
tion of it than thousands of men whom
they desire to tax can spare a dime. The
only inconven euce they would suffer
from it would be, that they would not he
quite as rich as.they are now, and would
not get rich quite so fast.
Many of those who are engaged in this
thing, no doubt, believe they are. advanc
ing the glory of God, but in our opinion
thoy are mistaken as was Paul when he
verily thought within himself that he
ought to do many things contrary to the
name of Jesus of Nazareth.
It is our opinion that it is Baptists’
glory, and Methodists’ g'ory, and Pres
byterian glory, that they aresceking, and
the glory of money and power. If the
churches were willing to lab >r and to
suffer, to spend and be spent for the glory
of God, and money were necessary, they
have thousands and millions of dollars
that they might appropriate to that pur
pose.

Railroads.
The following article from the Cincinnati
“ Railroad Record,” which all will admit is
good authority in regard to Railroads in
Ohio, is worthy of particular ai tent ion at this
time, while parties in our State, whose in
terest it is, are constantly depreciating invest
ments in Railroads. It should be borne in
mind tnat Ohio has twice as many miles of
Railroad as Georgia which hare cost three
times as much as the Roads in Georgia, and,
besides this, Ohio has the greatest amount
of steamboat tonnage, and the greatest ex
tent of inland steamboat navigation of any
State in the Union; and yet Ohio is going
ahead and building more Railroads. Allow
us to ask if any body of the territory of
Georgia fs to remain undeveloped f>r the
want of Railroads, because Savannah and
Augusta have all the Roads they want?
“ Railroads is Ohio—New Movements.
—At a tune wheu every body, (not of high
intelligence,) including many Stockholders,
and Bondholders, have been bu-y for a year
or two in depreciating the property in Rail
roads, the condition of the great body of
Railroads presents a satisfactory and pl a* -
ing refutation to many of the charges brought
before the public mind. Our readers will
bear us witness, that undismayed by com
mercial overturns, or Wall Street oracles, or
popular clamors, we have uniformly claimed
that Railroad property was much better, and
the management deserved more credit, (es
pecially in the West,) than the public, in a
time of alarm and depression, were willing
to believe. The facts will prove the correct
ness of our views. A little more time is
needed —a year or two —to bring ad things
right. But. in the meantime, our Western
Roads are gaining a valuable experience, and
daily gaining strength. Let. us note some
facts reference to the Ohio Roads:
1. The number of Casualties in the past
year, on Ohio Roads, is almost incredibly
small 1 In the returns of twelve Roads, now
lying before us, not a single passenger was
either killed or seriously wounded! Not
mare than a dozen employees were injured,
and only two or three of tho<=e killed. Some
half dozen other persons, either intoxicated
or deaf, or, in some way where they ought not
to be-, were killed or injured. But,'the whole
number of casualties was remarkably small.
This is high testimony to the operative man
agement of the roads; for, were they man
aged badly, no such results would b<; found.
The accidents and deaths would be ten times
as numerous.
2. Generally, the expense*are diminishing ,
and the actual profits .ucreasiug; that is, the
same amount of business is done at lets cost.
This is a high commendation , for, like the
pieceeding fact, it shows that the manage
ment of the roads is improving financially as
well as practically.
3. In the present season, at the close of
the year, the business of most of the roads
has begun to increase, as compared with last
year. This, be it remembered, is in the face
of very bail crops.
4. The income results of ihe c e twelve
Roads, taken in the aggregate, were as fol
lows •
Total cost, $33,403,984
Nel earnings, 2,1G7G20
Net profits, . 5.7 percent.
Two of these roads were as bad. financial
lv, as any in Ohio: three among the best, and
the residue me iium. On the whol *, about an
average. Surely, then, a net aver, ge of near
ly six per ceut., is quite as much as the
most sanguine could r. asonably expect.
Three of these roads paid over ten per cent.;
one sx; and the residue but little. There is
au absolute certainty, that in the coming
year, they will pay much more, and, it can
not be doubted, that several of these roads,
now strug/ling along, will soon relieve them
selves of difficulty.
Some persons wifi point to comparatively
worthless s'oeks, .and roads that pay little or
nothing, with poor pro-p ets ahead, and give
them in evidence, that railroads arc good for
nothing!
No, Suppose these gentlemen had, ia ’55
