CHARLESTON EDUCATIONAL INSTITU
TIONS.
[Editorial Correspondence of the News awd
Herald.]
Charleston, June 7, 1866.
I stated in a previous letter that at the re
quest of one of the teachers of the Savannah
Free Schools, I had furnished an account of
the Free School system of Charleston. This
account must be understood as applying to
tbo system as it was in operation before the
occurrence of hostilities. On the authority
of the Daily News, of this city, we now state
that there are three large well endowed of
these schools, erected at a great expense, in
Charleston, ->vhich had an average attendance
of2,500 pupils, at which there are now no
whites. They are in exclusive possession of
the blacks. The freedmen, therefore, at pres
ent in South Carolina are better cared tor than
the poor whites. Let us hope to see a
Whiteman's Aid Commission ere long.
The Free School system of Charleston, it
will be perceived by the above statement, is
for the present suspended in Charleston, as
relates to the whites. The system adopted
before the war was carefully prepared by the
Commissioners, and is, in its main features,
Northern. Its administration was Northern,
for the teachers were brought from the
North, although, as described in that letter,
its basis was Southern. It will be imper
fectly understood, however, unless viewed in
connection with the Orphan House and
Charleston College, of which it forms a part.
The Orphan House, the High School and the
Charleston College are all city institutions,
under its exclusive control and superintend
ence, and must not be confounded with the
South Carolina College and the Military
Schools, which are State institutions. There
is consequently unity of plan and adminis
tration in all parts of the system of tuition
adopted in Charleston. The destitute or
phan is transferred from the Orphan House
to the High School, and is there prepared
for the Charleston or any other College, and
receives his whole course of Instruction gra
tuitously. For the clearor comprehension of
the reader we will oommence with the
OBPHAN HOUSE.
This institution was founded in 1790-
During the seventy-six years of its history
between two and three thousand orphan and
destitute children have been maintained and
educated upon its bounty, and provision has
been made for the useful employment of up
wards of two thousand who have left the in
stitution during that period. The number
of boys and girls in the House ia between
three and four hundred. The institution is
under the government of a Board of Commis
sioners] who are annually elected, and who
serve without pay.
The current expenditure of the establish
ment is defrayed partly out of a public en
dowment fund held by Trustees, amounting
to $168,489 60. Any excess of expenditure
over income is provided for by an appropria
tion from the general treasury of the city. A
private fond, amounting to $76,775 98, is
placed by an ordinance of the city under the
immediate control of th,e Board of Commis
sioners, and is appropriated by it to the per
sonal comfort of the children and benefit of
the other members of the household.
Tho appraised value of the real estate of
the institution, embracing tho building and
tho grounds, iB $42,000. ". • *
Sinco 1854 extensive additions and improve
ments have been made, and the Orphan House
of Charleston forms a noble pile of buildings,
kept in admirable order.
• J - ‘k*^ f '
This noble charity is Scarcely with a para-
lel anywhere. It hod its commencement in
the benefactions of all classes and denomina
tions of our citizens. Among' the contribu
tors are Protestants of all sects,'and Israelites.
It ha9 opened its doors to the members of
every religious persuasion, dispensing the
advantages of education to. all alike, and ex-
ttnding the benefits of Instruction to the
humblest in the community, -should the chil
dren placed under its bounty exhibit talent
and capacity. This brings us to a view of
tinned in the school'eight years; pow, few
remain over six. ****** As show
ing that the preparation at the High School
has been adequate for admission into any
college in the United States, and that onr
pupils have not been behind their compeers
in the race for distinction, is evidenced by
the fact that, within the last sixteen years
High School boys have won, at different col
leges, eleven first honors, six second honors,
and ten gold medals, for excellence in com
position and elocution, besides obtaining
other prizes and appointments not enume
rated. If, at the end of the next twenty
years, those who may then have charge of
the institution can exhibit a similar list, they
will hase no reason to be dissatisfied with
theTeswt ! bf'tb*ir labors. ”
In alettes Horn the present Principal of
the High School, Mr. W. H. Kingman, Esq.,
(Mr. Burns having resigned as Principal in
January, 1864,) he says that the number of
pupils for the quarter commencing January
1st, 1866, is 173. Tho school was suspended
from February to November, 1865, at which
time it was reopened, and has now a corps of
able teachers,
The school is placed under a Board of Su
pervisors, appointed annually by the City
Council. Ten scholarships have been esta
blished in the High School and in the Col
lege of Charleston, with a view to provide
for the liberal education of talented and de
serving youths whose circumstances may
otherwise preclude them from such a course.
All scholarships conferred are to be regarded,
in the first instance, as honorable appoint
ments, which can only be retained, in the
end, by the continued exhibition of capacity,
diligence and good conduct.
The whole number entered since the be
ginning is 1492; average number for the last
ten years, 148; number prepared for and en
tered Charleston College, 112; number pre
pared for and entered the Military Academy,
27; number prepared for and entered other
colleges, 20. It will thus be perceived that
a greater number entered Charleston College
than all the other colleges combined, in
cluding the Military Academy, showing the
adaptation of the High School to the College,
as parts of one system of tuition. This
brings ns to a brief history of
THE CHARLESTON COLLEGE.
This College was chartered by the Legisla
ture of South Carolina in 1785. The first
Principal, as he was then called, was Dr.
Robert Smith, Bishop of the Protestant Epis
copal Church in this Diocese.
The College was discontinued until 1824,
when it was revived. The first degree of
B. A. under the revival was conferred on the
late Dr. A. Gadsden; the second on Bishop
Weightman. In 1835, from difficulties of a
pecuniary character, the College was closed.
In 1837 the charter was amended, and it was
placed more immediately in dependence on
the city. Under the new charter it resumed
its operations in 1838, under the Presidency
of the Rev. William Brantley, and has con
tinued uninterruptedly to discharge its func
tions, with the exception of the year 1865,
when the exercises were completely sus
pended.
I have extended this letter further than I
designed; but I was desirous of presenting a
connected view of the educational institu
tions of Charleston. C.
of South Alabama and Florid*. But while
this misfortune may well be regretted, it id
fatuitous to pause in an honest -effort to re
gain what is thus lost, almost culpable to
suspend the effort when the power is actually
in the hands of our people to retrieve it »H-
The Atlantic and Gulf Railroad Company
has suffered from the war in common with
nearly every individual; suffered really more
disastrously than any other railroad institu
tion in Georgia, not that Its material injuries
were so serious or so extensive as those of
the Central Railroad Company, but because
it was not in a condition of such established
success as to enable it easily to sustain any
misfortune. I will not pause here to enum
erate disasters already well known to the
public. It is enough 'that the actual dam
ages of war and the fall of the Confederate
Government with a debt to the company
amounting to quite $2,000,000 for unpaid
transportation and seized material, has forced
the* company to an extension of its bonded
debt and to meet liabilities for which the faith
of the Confederate Government was pledged.
It is not now, therefore, in a condition to as-
to be delivered in New York in less than
seven days, while the time of transit we*
frequently front) eight to ten days. This was
at s time when the railroads of the South
were in their heyday of prosperity and en
terprise, and when their traina were driven
to the top of their speed.
I have remarked uposfc this merely as a
route for travel. Why should it not become
a great exjtfess route ? Why should it not
make Savannah a market for shipments
from New Orleans—for the sugar and mo
lasses of the Mississippi—for the com, bacon
and flour of the great West—now carried
cheaper to New-Orleans than they can be de
livered in New York by the lakes ?
Such, fellow-citizens, is the value of the
Florida connection exposed before you, as I
understand it, and I feel tbgat I have used no
immoderate terms. I do not now hesitate
to appeal to you, one and all, to come for
ward and secure an enterprise which seems
to present such immense advantages to you
individually and as a community. Without
your assistance these advantages must be
lost, it may be forever. There is not much
sume new responsibilities without sacrifices money asked from you; but wertto ask all

HIGH SCHOOL 6t CHARLESTON-
The following is n ftT pitract from the
Twentieth Annual Report^of the principal
of the High School of Charleston, Henry M.
L.L.D., made in 1861.
When the school.was first organized
* July. 1839), it was intended to be exclu-
®*ly a classical school.- Four classes were
established, and a course of study was adopted
*hich prepared pupils tor admission into
college. After five years it. was found neces-
tar T to modify this arrangement, and an
English department,, and French introduced
h6 a study in both departments. This doubled
file number of classes, and enlarged tho labor
°f teachers to a considerable degree. From
fear to year, as the progress of the pupil
Warranted, and his continuance m the 'school
TO THE CITIZENS OF SAVANNAH
Fellow-Citizens:—Your attention has, of
late been frequently called to the importance
of establishing a railroad link between the
State of Florida and the city of Savannah.
Daily wants press the subject with increasing
vigor upon the minds of all who feel that
their own interests are to be promoted
in proportion to the increase in the influence,
wealth and prosperity of this community, and
ofthe great commercial institutions it has,
from time to time, fostered and established.
The city of Savannah, and . her citizens in
dividually, have reaped a rich harvest from
the great enterprises they have built up, until
now, in despite of five years of war—in spite
of the prostration of her merchants, the ruin
of her banks, and the political misfortnnes of
her people, with her railroads just rebuild
ing, or hardly rebuilt, Savannah springs up
the foremost commercial point of the South
Atlantic, radiant with the hope of a great
future. These are evidences not merely of
the-great energy and courage of her people,
but of the marked advantages of the lpeation
of the city,’ which have been develbpe J d by
the extensive system of internal improve
ments, which tend to concentrate a vast com
merce at its gates. But the work is nolyet
finished. Her enterprise must gg. further.
Her people must not disappoint their own
just expectations of prosperity, nor those of all
the greatpopulation Which will send to Savan
nah the commerce of a vast region of country.
Her people"have"thrown the Central Railroad
over a wide belt of unproductive country to
reach the illimitable trade of Georgia atad the
West, establishing one of the most valuable
and flourishing institutions in the whole
country, bringing population, wealth^and
power with ils every train. This insti
tution was scarcely established and prosper
ous before. the Atlantic and Gulf Railroad
was projected, with .an enterprise quite as am
bitious and far reaching, to control the trade
of Florida and lower Alabama, and to estab
lish a great thoroughfare between the Atlantic
and the Gulf. The municipalities of Savan
nah, the State of Georgia, the people'of Sa-
vann&h and the people of Southern Georgia,
gradually elevated and extended, until
^ High School began to assume something
of the dignity of aYeblldge-sh position both
a ruectssary and undesirable—inasmuch as
too* who wished ample complete education
C0| fid obtain it at our college and the Military
School under professors of established repu
tation.'’ . •
After a description of the course of study,
‘“ri an enumeration el the books used, Mr.
■Bum:
s proceeds to say: “I do notjmaanto
’understood as saying that any one boy
6Vei ' reads every book in the above list
*l»ile connected with the school; but I do
106811 to say, that these ’books embrace what
^ been 'actually studied in the school, and
^ a large portion of fhem haire been read
• individual pupils, and that hundreds have
° Bt <»< d successfully on the duties of profes-
life, and mercantile and other avoea-
fi°ns, with no other education than that
Permitted, the course qf study continued to -indiyiduftlly, all contributed liberally to this
k i-Tiidnnll,- o-nri oTfoTiriofl new enterprise, while the Government of the
new enterprise, wh&< ^
United Stated arid the' muni£fpalit.v of Mobile
sustained it by encouraging promises. The
was begun, and carried on with extra
ordinary energy, until in a little more than
four years the rail v% laid two hundred
miles, and the road gradecl beyond for thirty
.miles, within fira milflH of.Rftinhridge on the
it river. In addition, a line, fm'tjy -seven
VWUUUU, .. - , y
' a half miles in length Conhedt8i§f‘ with
four hundred miles of railwa;
was graded and mode
ready
'lorida,
the
rail by the Atlantic and Golf and Pensacola
and Georgia Railroad Companies jointly.
This was the oondi|iou iff the Atlantic and
Gulf Railroad in Ine spring of 1861, when
the commencement of the war. forced, upon
the company a suspension of work uril
renewal of peace would permit the imps
tion of rails find other raRroad material. It
is no empty assertion to declare, with this
for cit - ord »i tiio colwitj . luumcxi-
which in view of those it has already made
it should not be expected to incur. It is
true that the company must derive great ben
efits from the enterprise for which it now
seeks the assistance of the. citizens of Savan
nah. But those benefits c8hnot be'devel
oped and mobilized by the means of the com
pany alone. Let then those who are to en
joy these benefits in common with the com
pany come to its assistance.
Two projects are before us, each of which
is important, while they are equally binding
upon the faith of the company. The
first is the completion of the extension
to Bainbridge; the second is the com
pletion of the Florida Connection. It
is the latter to which it is desired to bring
your attention immediately and alone; tor
the “Florida connection” made sure, the ex-
tention to Bainbridge may be considered ac
complished, as the company can then apply
the resources at its command to the object to
which they should be rightfully first devoted.
We wish you to comprehend clearly the
character of the Florida connection, and the
reasons of its importance. We do not ask
you to subscribe your money to any enter
prise without enabling you. fully to compre
hend its value.
The Florida connection is forty-seven and
a half miles ip length, starting from L*W ton,
station No. 12 on the Atlantic and Gulf Rail
road, one hundred and thirty-one miles from
Savannah, and joins the Pensacola and Georgia
Railroad at Live Oak station. The Pensacola
and Georgia Railroad starts from St. Marks,
on the Gulf, passes through Tallahassee,
Monticello, Madison and Columbus to Lake
City, where it meets the Railroad to Jack
sonville, which at Baldwin crosses the Rail
road between Fernandina and Cedar Keys.
These roads, with the branch running from
Tallahassee to Quincy, rendering tributary
to them the whole of the most valuable ter-
four hundred miles of railway. The Flor
ida connection drops midway nearly on the
line from St. Marks to Jacksonville, and con
stitutes the only link of communication be
tween these four hundred miles of railroad,,
penetrating a whole State, and the railroad
system of the country at large. Look at
the map for yourselves and see that these
statements are true—see, too, that the most
valuable part of the trade of Florida, and
its travel must tend to Savannah over thi 8
connection-
Is this trade and travel, worth an effort for
its control? Pevious to the war about 50,-
000 bales of cotton principally the produc
tion of Middle Florida was annually shipped
from the port of St, Marks alone. During
the past year over 15,000 bales have been
exported from St. Marks, and from Jack
sonville a much larger quantity of cotton,
nearly all from Middle Florida. It is within
entirely reliable limits to place the produc
tion of Middle Florida at A0,000 bales of
cotton. Large amounts of tobacco are pro
duced in Florida. Her lumber forests are
extensive, and her production in naval
stores must become yearly more important.
Her grain crops are large and her fields and
forests abound in cattle. The production of
East Florida may bn safely estimated at
15,000 to 20,000 bales of sqa island cotton,
to which may be added a large amount
oi tobacco, sugar and syrup,.* large portion
of which will be drawn by the Florida coni
nection to Savannah. 1
But suppose the traffic of Middle Florida
alone tu be considered—-it must throw over
our railroad lines and into Savannah annual
ly at least $10,000,000 in value of produce.
This alone wouldWa~good basis fora com
merce, which twist -swell with advancing
time.
Loots now to the .return tr*tflc-H&> the
merchandize which must be carried in return
for this produce—and estimate what is the
value of this to the merchants and trades
men of Savannah, .bringing to them a busi
ness almost wholly new and an overexpand
ing field of operation. >
But the-value of the Floridg connection
does not stop here. ^ It places Savannah in
complete railway connection with the
Gulf at St. Marts, and realizes one of the
great objects of the projection of the Atlantic
& Guff Rail Rord, namely : a thoroughfare
tine from Northern ports through Savannah
to New Orleans. Surprising as it may seem,
passengers can be carriM from New York
to New Orleans in four days and eight hours,
at a moderate calculation of ape^l on sea
and land, and with but two changes or tran
shipments, namely : at Savannah add St.
Marks. Look for yourselves at the follow
ing table of time ^gd distance : y ^
From New York to Savannah, (by sea) 768
From Savannah to St. Marks, (by mil)
From St. Marks to New Orleans, (by
you can afford to give. And we' appeal not
to merchants,' tradesmen, warehouse-men,
wharf-owners, holders of real estate and
other individuals alone, but to the banks, the
insurance and express companies, and to the
great steamship lines of Savannah.
Subscribe seventy-five thousand dollars to
this enterprise, and the Florida connection
will be placed in operation in three months
from the 1st of July next. r And that you may
know that this time is not too short for the
work, I will add that the present condition of
the road is as follows:
The road is forty-seven and a half miles
long.The rail is laid upon it for twenty-'
Seven miles—oil the remaining twenty and a
half miles the road bed and bridging (in
cluding the bridge over the Suwannee) is
complete, and the necessary cross-tieB already
bedded. In reality the work to be done is
merely to clear and dress the twenty-seven
miles already built, and to clear and lay the
rails on the remaining twenty and a half
miles. Enable ns to do this, work, and to
meet the necessary cash expenses fqy other
material, and this Company and th6 Pensa
cola and Georgia Railroad Company can se
cure all the rail and rolling stock required to
complete and operate the connection.
Subscription lists will be opened at the
office of this Company. s'

Thousands of cbUdrsu perish annually from one
cause, and that is worms. Why will yon neglect the
Bret symptoms of these pests of hnmanity, and wait
until it ls too late before Von administer the remedy ;
JUDSON'S WORM CANDY is the only PtraiLT vtox-
tabli remedy in existence. If there are no worms,
It only act* as a gentle purgative, and cannot harm
an infant. If wokus zxirr, it kills them. Every
