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 tht 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' JOHN SCREVEN, President Atlantic and Gulf R. R. Co. Mr. Steveis*’ New Reconstruction Bill.
