OXO. H. JOHNSTONE. HILLSBOROUGH MILITARY ACADEMY. Of the many cheering assurances that tbe South is rapidly recovering from the prostrat ing effects of t he late war not tbe least conspic uous is tbe general interest manifested in tba subject of education. In whatever direction we look we are cheered by the indications of unusual activity in educational circles. It is encouraging to know that oar youth, deprived during the period of Lhe war of tbe oppor tunity of attending schools and colleges, will now enjoy even greater advantages than formerly. There is a general desire that na tive Southerners shall teach tbe Southern youth, and the day has at length arrived when teaching has come to be ranked amoug tbe most honorable professions in tbe South. Among the many institutions of learn ing now in successful oyeralion is tbe Military Aceademy at Hillsborough, North Carolina, of which General R. E. Col ston is superintendent- It is with more than ordinary pleasure that we notice the revival of this Academy, under auspices that presage a complete success. The professors are men of learning and high character, and liuaft- been carefully selected with reference to their- general fitness as teachers of youth, and ibeir peculiar qualifications for the several posi tions to which they are assigoed. Tbe -Prin cipal, General Colston, who is a graduate, and for fifteen years a Professor of the Vir ginia Military Institute, served with distinc tion in the late war, and is generally known throughout the Southern States as a gallant officer and an accomplished gentleman. The buildings are new and comfortable, consisting of handsome barracks erected in 1859, for tbe special purposes of a military school, and sufficient to accommodate one hundred and fifty cadets; together with mess hall, hospital, and all other necessary build ings. Tbe situation is about a mile from the town of Hillsborough, within a few hundred .. yards of tbe Norftt Carolina Central Railroad, i ,¥9fPjf and in a region unsurpassed for health. ***» determined on, it can, we pres, Gen. Colston’s object will be, as he says in .,yMs otfcCtlari to makn^iis i 4ra^fmy the great PotytKhvXc School of tlfe State of North Caro liaa, and one to. which all, from every State. may = 'PeSdrt With advantage/ The course of instruction will be made to conform to the wants of tbe present day, and will be essentially practical in its elfarac ter. The study of tbe exact and natural acjenqp% both in. their<Am and appli cation' of''mechanics, engineering, archi tecture and drawing, will receive special at tention. It will be the aim of the system pur sued to fit the young men of the rising gen eration to develop the great natural and min eral wealth of the country, and to direct their attention to its agricultural improve ment and its immense industrial resources. At the same time, the study of languages and literature will be diligently cultivated, and the education imparted at the Hillsborough Military Academy will be such as to fit its gradnsfc* t® -pursue any earqer. The Acad emy will conform os nearly as possible^ in the extent and system of education, to the presented; by Virginia Military In state, ajkJ will -en|4l|vbr jto accomplish for the rionfii generally what that Insti tution has already (lone for tlie State of Vir ginia. Radical AacSx a* ran Prbsideut.—The Abend Zeitnng, a venomous Radical Ger man sheet, in New York, printed the adver tisement of a saloon keeper, which an- nouheed that Alhe PWeUftoi, Mto -Visitlog the Tombs, woujd A receive a deputation of lawyers at the advertiser’s saloon.” Not satisfied with Imposing a poet the credulity of its readers, the Zeitnng adds a^few words of MiCkinwsii i 1 ( ?“ ^ertwer) know* the President.

It is stated, however, that the quantity of wheat produced exhibits a con siderable falling off when compared with last various ports in Europe for immediate ship meat. Any deficiency in France is likely to Spain, Italy, giqm, which promise to exceed an average, and prices everywhere indicate a fair abundance.— From this me may draw tbe consoling in ference that there will be but little of, bread- stuffs shipped from tba United Slates to Europe, and that consequently corn and flour will flow into the Southern markets in such abundance as will reduce materially tbe present high prices. We are inclined to be lieve that the crops in U>^' Booth, although exceedingly unpromising, will yield a larger product than tie were led to suppose some weeks since. We hope and believe that our planters will be agreeably disappointed in their present gloomy expectations, and that, with good management and rigid economy the yield will be sufficient to save both man and beast from suffering. PARSON BROWN LOW IN PHILADEL* l: ' : t -v I®**!, : i is l’t That hoary old apostate and reprobate, Parson Brownlow. is at the head of a delega tion of Tennessee Loyalists, so-called, in at tendance op the ffogttriry TffftdK,’ feddven tion in Philadelphia, and is at present one of the lions of that gathering of self-constituted representatives of Southern Radicalism. The Press gives an account of a meeting of the Union League on Friday night, on which oc casion, after Mr. Durant, of New Orleans, had delivered himself of an half hour’s harrangue, in which be gave a most pathetic account of the late riot in that city, the par son Governor of Tennessee held forth in a characteristic speech. As a specimen, we give the following extract; I am sorry to *»y to you, gentlemen, that matters at the South are not very promising. I an not * sensa tionalist nor an alarmiit; I am not very easily alarm ed, but I tell yon it la the purpose of the rebels to bring on another war. [A voice: “Tell na what are the prospects in tbe Sooth for the black men. “] His prospects we. exactly those of the “poor whites and mean sneaks.” He need not look to the Administration of Andrew Johnson for help. Bat I say to yon in allcandor, and with the knowledge of what I am saying and the use that may be made of it, that if the wicked spirit of the South, tbe rebellious spirit, combined with the treachery and copperheadism of the North, shall bring upon this country another war, and force you, genttemeOL u> leave your homes an* families to in vade the South and put down a second rebellion, I want to have something to say about tbe divi sion of your forces tba next dm*. I would divide your great army into three grand divisions. Let the first go armed and equipped aa tho laws of the army reqairg, with small ana and artilkfx.; Let Brit be the largeat division, afid flat foam do thy killing. Let the second he armed With pine torches ana Spirits of turpentine, end let them do the burning. Let the third and last division be supplied with surveyors’ compasses and chains, and we will survey ont the land and settle it We will first sell It out, pay the expenses of the war with the proceeds, and then settle it with men who will benar thin gtoripua banner. he bar monions. I am here si the head of a delegation which is a unit for tbe endoraement of the Congress of the United Stries from beginning to egd. [Applause, l 1 am at the head- of figaraagoif that will not en dorse Audrew Johnson or his insane policy, either at home or abroad, and I hold that the Congress of the United States is tbe most patriotic, brave and fearless body of men that have met since the Government was organized. It has never been excelled in wisdom by bat one deUbsntite aampnbljv sad that if the present Legislators of Tennessee. [Laughter and applause, daring which the speaker retired.] SUSPENSION OP THE STATE TAX ON LAND. We published a flciiay «t ’p%FajHwt>l] from tbe Augusts Chronicle, which stated that it was rumorad that Gov. Jfinkfea would prob- acly suspend the collection of the State tax for the present year, owing to tbe impover ished condition of the people. We are not aware that any suspension is contemplated has presume, only apply to the tax on lands under the pro visions of tbe following act of the last Legis lature, giving the Governor such power In certain contingencies. We give the act be sw _ circumstanced, to arrest the State Tax upon Land for the year 18(16. Sec. 1.

According to well established usage, Mn Raymond is clearly the only person possessing authority to act in the matter, and he cannot rightfully be de posed from his positibfi except by a National Convention of the patty. It is stated the Secretary 1 of the ExecnthrcflCommittee and a few of the members are in accord with Mr. Raymond in his present politicaf atti tude, and that the result of the split will be to break up tbe committee and leave the party without an anthorized head. As the expulsion movement was intended as a cat direct to Mr. Raymond, and to onst him and all others who are not Radicals, from the committee, its failure will be as humiliating to the conspirators as It will be gratifying to the anticipated victims and their friend*. Tbe action of the branch of the committee which proposed to assemble at Philadelphia, if it met, will doubtless be recognized by the Radicals as authoritative, and Mr. Ray- moud will be virtually expelled notwith- stauding his skillful flank movement.' > Since writing tbe above the telegraph in forms us that the Rzdical wing of the com mittee met in Philadelphia on Monday last and passed a resolution expelling Mr- Ray mond and others, and that the conservative wing met in New York on tbe same day, but adjourned on account of the few mem bers present. The Chicago Times thus pleasantly touches up tbe dentists who met in Boston a sbott time ago: The Boston Dental Convention had a reso lution before it that it Wonld like to see But ter and bear Butler, and lbat.it wished But ler bad been In command iu New Orleans during the late disturbances. Dentists who meet in Boaton ought lo be aware that in den tistry as in everything else, a good deal of progress is made by those who tniud their own cosiness. They should see in the case of Dostie an instance of the ill effects of a man’s not attending to his own business. Dostie is an unfortunate dentist who did not mind bis own business, and who in conse quence got severely injured. The proper occupation of dentists is to look into people’s mouths, and not into the mouths of political parties. - The mouth of a party sometimes swallows those who attempt to took into it It swallowed the New Orleans dentist, and it might swallow a Boston dentist with just as tittle trouble. Tbe desire of the national convention of demists at Boston to see But ler is not open to objection. The whole de sire might be strictly professional- It might proceed from the fact that Butler is supposed to have fangs. The dentists may have wished to look upon the teeth of the animal that devoured so many women, children, dogs and clergymen. But in any other sense the resolution to see Bntler is reprehensible.” BY TELEGRAPH. FROM EUROPE. , The fife Insn Bismarck * Refuses to 8efr a ■—Deputation.
