We understand hy National education, oducation administered hy the Htate. Home of the leading Journals are beginning to agitate tills <|Ucetlon and are urging argu nients in its favor. The favoiite source of argument and illustration is a monarchical country, namely, I'lussia. where education up to a given point, is forced and main tained hy the Government. The Journals that seem to favor this system, are loud and able on the deffiul lion of Stale duty in respect of religious or sorturian charities, and boldly take high ground, and Just ground aguinst the pros titution of Government revenues to any such objects. It strikes us that the same Just principle* should preserve the Htate from iustiluliug schools of learning, main taining them at public expense and com pelling education within their wails. We must nut he understood as objecting to the free school system, hut to the com pultory laws proposed, which shall, in their measure, infringe upon the freedom of the parent in the matter of his dhildreu’a education. Free schools are of tho first importance to tho State, and free citizens will not object to bo reasonably taxed for their maintenance, hut they cease to he free, in the host sense, when their volun tary use or rejection by famiiea, or Indi viduals, i case to he the prerogative of Ilia citizen.

This isa splendid opening for a progressive journalist VT wo will rise to explain the mysteries recorded elsewhere In an article from the ■avannah News * NOTES OF CURRENT LITER* ATI HE. The forthcoming December Magazines promise to be both instructive and eutcr tainiug in a higli degree. In the Galaxy, Mr. De Forest's bum story begins, and bids fair to he as sensa tioual as it is well written. The leading English lawyers come In for a sketching from the tireless and al ways agreeable pen of Justin McCarthy. Cockhnrn, who dissented from the major lty at Geneva, lie describes a.s a man of seventy winters, well preserved, possess ing the hrai*, spirits, animation and ful ness of youth He lias a handsome fuee. bright, social manners, s clear voiec, and a free and fsclle style, which is more than can Ire said of most English lights at the Bar, or in Farliamcnt Sir Houudell I ’al mnr is presented as the greatest of English lawyers, and we think with reason. Hir Boundel is now Lord Chancellor, and brings as much dignity, learning loyalty and piety to that high position as the most Ins idious Englishman could desire. His personal character is beyond praise, uad lie dresses like an undertaker, (an English undertaker of course.) Other notables come in for a brief sitting, and altogether Mr. McCarthy will be thanked for liia en tertaining gossip The “history of Emancipation" by Gideon Wellss, will prove heavy reading in our latitude, aiuce we care not fur tin- history, of an idea which lias cost us so much in its furtherance ; and, besides, we have se rious fault to find with the method or philosophy of so much of the “History" as has been given in hook form to the world. However, Mr. Welles’ article, as far as we can judge, hy a cursory glance, will not cause him to tie the less thought of hy Conservatives throughout the couutry. Other papeis appear in the Galaxy of excellent conception and temper, mid we are hound to give the magazine, as a whole very high praise as a contributor to intel lectual pleasure. TIIE ATLANTIC MONTHLY will not have more than tbo smell of tiro upon its wrapper, lioston, according to Beechers is the seat of learning, the moth er of great revolutionizing thought in America We cannot stop to r.outrovert, it is in our line to add. We may safely say that Boston is tlio seat of sensation, and the heurt of American commonplace, as well as the hub of Intellectual whirli gigs ! The Atlantic hails from Boston, us every body knows, and is a kiud of literary close corporation concern. Like the Christian Union, it is a sort of family affair. Albeit, good things are sunt forth by many members of suid family, and tbs generous reader, soon forgets the abomina ble egotism of the perveyors. Well, what of the December number? Much every way, we may say. Johu A. Colsmau tells us how he fought the New York and New Haven Itailroad and whipped them out iu every court In the country, thereby settling sundry very important matters te all travellers. His paper is pro bono publico, and should be universally studied. Charles Akers contributes a readable, but not uolicable paper on “common ornu rnent." , l’atd H Uayae iu the Atlantic t Ah 1 we lake back our hasty words on close corporation, etc., for this number and for any number iu which our Uoorgia poet is permitted to sing, or to display his genius iu stately prose. He hails the “Horn ing" in this number, aud it fully himself, which is all we ever desire him to he. After him comes Mariau Douglas iu, “Before the Wedding," and tells how a foolish maiden kept or failed to keep a resolution, which we have heard fall from many a fair one's lips, but always as we believe,with a mental reservation—"befoje I'd marry a preacher 1 would die sutohl maid!'' But they always come round, you see. os ire esu testify, and would, but for the consequences that would await us at home. We are "gingeriy'* here, for we know it all in our heart of hearts, and have known it eitsce the days when we went wooing 1 But, here we are, as usual moralizing, when we should be giving crams and tit-bit* from the literary tables of the holiday season. And hero coins* our derit to say that if we have any more copy fox to day, “it can’t go iu sir." WHAT IT MEAVIIc; tVnfemUol Jubilee— The 1001 A. birthday of the Amen Van Hepublic. Our readers will remember. that we pub liahed. a few days since ax, *h|,r<w to the people of the Uniied Sla>*s, signed Joseph H Hawley President, anil Lewis Walu Smith Secretary i>r+tnn, Uis important that our readers should know wherefore the address, aud hegiu to prepare for the great Jubilee to which they aro Invited And anything that looks to the develop ment of our industrial resources, aud that tends to inspire all departments of trade and enterprise, should have at once, our hearty cooperation and endorsement. We present, therefore, all we know of this contemplated exposition at Philadelphia gathered tram all source* On the -tilt or March, 1872, a number of distinguished gentlemen hold a meeting in the Continental Hotel, la Philadelphia the results or which will have au important bearing in making another era in the pro greas of civilisation in this country The meeting referred to was composed of commissioners and alternate ers, appointed by the President of the l niled Stales, upon the recommendation of the Governors of the several States and Territories, pursuant to the act of Con gress approved March 3d, 1871, the title of which reads as follows 1776—1876. "An Act to provide for celebrating the One Hundredth Anniveraarv of American Independence by holding ait International Exhibition of Arts. Manufactures aud Products of the Soil, aid Music, in the City of Philadelphia and State uf Penn sylvania in the year Eighteen Hundred i and Ssnstydii." By invitation of the city authorities the I commissioners, on the same day. held < their meeting in Independence Hall, a most titling placo of assembling, whero ure preserved the memorials of the past, that hall in which the imuiertal Declara tion of Independence was signed, thereby changing (lie political destinies of the continent, and developing industrial and social pursuits, which now in their pro gress demaud well-defined recognition. It is but appropriate that the century now nearing a close shall have its achieve ments properly displayed in the birth place of the nation ; hence the year of 1876 will in the city of Philadelphia bo distinguished hy such an exhibition of American products, frdm Maine to Ore.gon and from the Lakes to the Gulf, as v<j ll | )e a fitting tribute to the genius of <be new civilization a century old.

Before the sessions, which continued through several days, were over, various committees were appointed ; On tariffs, Hnd transportation, on finance, on plans and architecture, mi opening services, on foreign utlairs, on legislation, classifica tion. On the 2d of May last, an adjourned session of the commission was held, which continued several days Several addi tional members presented their creden tials, delegated hy States not before rep resented. Various committees were ap pointed. A large amount of business was transacted, and the commissioners ad journed to meet on the first Wednesday in December next. lIUAKW ter FINANCE Iho result of the deliberations of the commissioners was the creution of the Cen tennial Board of Finance, and its incorpo ration hy Act of Congress, approved June Ist. 1872. The name of this incorporation signifies its duties, namely, to procure all needed funds to conduct the exhibition, and to secure such interest among those who contribute to the enterprise as will popularize the work and insure success In the Act of incorporation of the Board of Finance all the. States aud Territories were represented by tlio names of promi nent citiz.cns. Busin BBS OF TIIK BOARD. Section two of the act of iacorporatiou provides "that the said corporation shall have authority, and is hereby empowered to secure subscriptions of capital stock to an amount not exceeding $10,000,000, to be divided iuto shares ol ten dollars each, and to issu* to the subscribers of said stock certificates therefor, etc., etc. The Centennial Board of Finance shall have authority to Issue bonds not iu ex cess of its cupltal stock, and to secure pay ment of the same, principal and interest, by morgage upon its property and pros pective income. As the Board is tho grand. financial agent of the exposition, its duties are such as to require the deliberations of men ot Judgment and ability. The expenses must necessarily be great, owing te the magni tude of the work. The United Sates gov ernment may contribute, States may con tribute Yet the principal monetary re sources must bo found among the people iu their individual capacity. If the peo ple take hold uf the work earnestly, it will succeed. Ihe site for holding tho international exhibition in 1876 will be at Fairmount Park, within tho corporate limits of the city of Philadelphia The Turf—A Bold Challenge. From the Turf, Field, aud Farm.) There is nothing that tends so much to promote success in the breeding aud train ing of thoroughbred stock as the spirit ot emulation , and. as a general thing, there are no men so susceptible to its influences as gentlemen identified with turf sports, whether aa owners of stock or otherwise It was this feeling that has led to all the great turf event* which at the time of their occurrence created anew epoch in our turf history. It was to this spirit of emulation that we owe the great match between Eclipse aud Henry, in 1873, wben Eclipse, the Northern champion, defeated his Southern antagonist in a hard-contested race of lour mile heats; and tho Boston aud Fashion match, in 18Ix’, when Fashion detested tho hitherto invincible "Old Wliitanoae.” the hero of forty races, thirty of them at four mile heals, and earned for herself the proud title of Queen of the Turf; aud the great races between Wagner and Grey Eagle iu 183!*, when the former defeated tho Ken tucky favorite. Grey Htgle. in two hard fought battles of four mile heats each, Grey Eagle breaking down in the second con test , aud the match between Peytona and Fashiou. w hen the former w renched from Fashion her laurels as Queen of the Turf; and the proposed meeting of Kentucky ami Asteroid, iu the Inauguration Stakes at Jerome Park, to settle the merits of the rival sons of Lexington, the latter break ing down ou the eve of the race , and, later still, the meeting of Longfellow and Harry Bassett in the Mommouth Cup last summer, when tho sou ot Leamington beat tiis hitherto rival, aud Harry Bassett tut u ed the tables on him two weeks after in the Saratoga Cup. when Longfellow broke down. It is such occasions as these, amid the splendors of a summer's sun, with all the principle patrons or the turf assisted by woman's smile, that lend eu • excitement to turf sports and make a vic l lory doubly valuable. Keeping in view the value that such i Treat races have been to the American t urf, annexed will be found one or the 1 widest challenges ever issued bv any t urfrnan iu America We are authorized t o lay It before our readers, and expect t bat the challenge will be accepted bv one i r more of our turfmen A CHALLENGE TO TUBS world 1 mi it or Turf , Field and Farm : I authorize you to state Uiat I will match i ny stable, three races, against any horse i n the world, to name at the poet, two, •ftree. and four- mile heats, for $10,600, or f-b.OOO each race.

THE I'KEflli n HEKKLV, IT is universally conceded that advertising is a necessity to success in business; it is ulso conceded, by the shrewdest business men, that newspapers arc the best medium for reaching all parties whose trade is desired. THE MONROE ADVERTISER reaches more of the people trading with Ma con than any other journal published in the country; it is, therefore, the 6e.it medium of communication with the planting interests. We will be happy at any lime to furnish refer ences to leading merchants here and elsewhere, who will testify to the fact tbat they ha e re ceived orders for goods from parties who read their cards in The Advertiser. In fact, many who have availed themselves of its columns' candidly say that its value exceeds that "f all other journals in which they are represented. The Advertiser lias the freshness of youth and the ripeness of age, and is therefore deservedly successful. CHARACTER OK ADVERTISEMENTS.
