Fllllbusterlng.
The New York Express, speaking oi
the steamship Hermann, which lately
sailed from that port to “ connect" on
the Nicaraguan route, with the Atlan
tic steamers, says:
Our own impression and belief is.
that ihe steamer and tbe passenger.-
were never really intended for a San
Francisco liue, but for San Juan del
Sur, in Central America, and that the
550 passengers on board, instead of go
lug through tiie scrip operation above
described, were, in good part, liilibus
ters intended to meet alker in Cen
tral America, with arms and ammuni
tion on board there provided for his
Hge—and that alker himself disburs
ed here the money to start her. But
time will determine whether or not our
guesses are right
Cheapness of Fr.ENcH Wise, —The
Paris correspondent of the New’ Y'ork
Journal of Commerce.in allusion to the
abundance of the vintage says: “ Too
many of the French of the laboring
classes of both town and country have
the habit of chastising their wives ; a
few days ago in the department of the
Aim, some one congratulated a young
married woman on the abundance of
the vintage; she answered—“how wc
Shall he thumped this winter!” the
husbands when tipsy are more prodigal
Os blows; wine will be too cheap;
Cheapness multiplies for the court the
cases of assault and battery, wounding,
reviling,'’ &c.
The Naval Retiring Board.
It is rumored,says the Baltimore Sun,
that the United States Attorney General
has prepared an opinion on the action
of the Naval F.etiring Board, in which
he declares their entire proceedings ille
gal, and consequently, void. On the
strength of this opinion, the President
will probably restore the whole list of
retired and dropped officers, though se
veral of them will be brought before
courts-martial to answer charges to he
preferred.
Later from Havana.
The Havana correspondent Ei Dut-nde j
writes to ihe N. Y. f'/yo that the .
great explosion of tiie arsenal was un
doubtedly the work of an incendiary— j
a fact which the authorities have taken :
the greatest pains to conceal. He states :
also that three hundred persons were hilled 1
not twenty-eight only, as the Diario de
la Marino represents. El Duende also
states that an attempt was made to as
sassinate the Captain General while on
parade, on the 30th September—a fact
which the papers took good care to con
ceal.

[COMMUNICATED.]
“ Promote,” says Washington in his
Farewell Address, “as a matter of pri
mary importance, institutions for tl e
general deffusiou of knowledge.” With
| the American people, the councils of the
| Father of his Country, are regarded as
oracles ; and yet, it is obvious that the
policy of the present day, in respect to
■ our educational interests, to say noth
ing of its polities, is any thing but that
! recommended by the first President.—
; Whatever may be true of other sections
,of the Union, with which we are not
j disposed to run a parallel, or to make
I invidious comparisons, politically or so
cially, in matters of education or reli
igion, Georgia has practically ignored
:the advice of the patriot sage. She
cannot, * to-day, point with pride to a
system of Free Schools, affording to the
masses the means of education, even
the most elementary. Forty thousand
adult whites, who cannot read and write
proclaim, with trumpet tongue, the
’ | criminal neglect and shame of the Em
I pire State of the South ! Where is the
! occasion for the fulsome laudation so
; frequently expended upon herself by
" ■ her orators and legislators, in view of
’! her Collegiate system, of which she
I I boasts so loudly ? Upon this latter sub
' \ ject there is a perfect mania. In their
j zeal to foster the higher seminaries of
1 ; learning, the common schools and
1 j academies have been overlooked and
a j seem destined, unless the people return
1 ■to their senses, to be numbered among
! the fossiles of the past, Upon the walls
jof many an ancient, venerable, dilapi
>f j dated building, once the site of a flour
y ishing school, Xchabad is -written, and
n tenanted now by “owl and bat,” they
i- stand ns sad souvenirs of “better days.”
They have been overshadowed and
eclipsed by tiie rising splendor of the
*■ greater lights, and thus growing in a
H ‘‘shade,” to them almost as fatal as that
° of the deadly Upas, they have long
since worn a pale, siekij- look, auguiing
e a speedy decay,
’ We did not start out with a design
r to indulge in a tirade of abuse of Fe
j male Colleges, too many of which, we
' regard nevertheless as splendid humbugs,
‘ practicing fraud upon a deluded public,
5 bedizzened and befooled by tinsel and
' shadow, while the gold and substance
1 are neglected. We have naught to say
r in malice, or detraction of those iusti
lutions, that are subserving the inte
rests of sound education, by whatever
: title they are donned. “ A name is
; nothing in all the earth!” But while
5 we concede all honor to the heads and
hearts of those whose wisdom devised,
5 and whose liberality fosters, the C'ol
; leges of our land, we must always as
. sign these institutions an inferior rank :
or to say the least, consider them as of
I secondary importance. Available only
e by tbe favored, few and not by the masses
* upon whose intelligence and virtue rest
, securely the pillars of State, the so-
II clal fabric in all republics, it isobvious
c ly a great error, and great injustice to
e the people, whose interests are para
, mount, to bestow almost exclusive pat
-1 ronage upon the Higher Schools. Did
; wo live under a monarchy, or despot
e ism, where the whole machinery and
policy of government is directed to the
’ building up of a system of ca-ts, and
a tittled nobility, where an aristocracy
of wealth, rank or learning, thus crea
ted, form a splendid foreground to a
picture of poverty and ignorance, we
,1 I might possibly be willing to foster a
, j system of education, calculated to give
us a class of a leans —a literati, though
1 forty thousand or “ eight millions," as
■ in England, be consigned to a condition
. almost remediless. But while we
. live under a Republican Government, .
; where the people is sovereign and their 1
interests paramount, we shall never;
• hesitate to express our preference for
- class of schools, whatever the
name, or however humble their preten
sions, that afford the means of the j
•‘general diffusion of knowledge,” to'
I the masses, albeit the Schools that af
iford the means of the higher culture
j grow beautifully less and proportional
| ly better.
J Inthisconnectionwewilltakethelibev- j
i ty merely to suggest the propriety of the
I press turning their attention from the
| -‘barren issues” with which the public
j has been so long bored, disgusted, nau-
I seated, to matters of more practical im- i
portauce and general utility. Who in
Georgia cares a fig whether Lincoln or
Douglas shall represent Illinois in the s
Senate at the next Congress—save the
spoilsmen and political tricksters who i
i look upon party as an end and not a
| means; and the preservation of the j
Democracy the chief object of the Gov
ernment ! There are matters nearer
home, more vital to our interest and
prosperity than the success or defeat of
Judge Douglas, whose fidelity to the!
South can uo longer be doubtful evc-n.—
Among these topics we think a com
mon or general school system is of pri-:
mary importance. If our editors would
shed a few tears over the wide-spread j
ignorance of our State, instead of the
father of Kansas, we think it would
comport much better with good sense,
and the wishes of the people, of w hose
ability to judge of their own wants and
interests the press must have a very
poor opinion, by feeding them to satie
ty with Kansas, Lecompton, English
Bill, Douglas, and such staples as have
constituted the burden of the adminis
tration for so long a time. While for
eign barren issues engross the attention
of those who seem to think themselves j
the guardians of the public good, the
people perish for the lack of knowledge,
or the means of obtaining it. It is a sail
commentary upon the intelligence of
our legislators, and the resources of the
State, if means cannot he devised to fur
nish intellectual culture, that shall less
en the amount of ignorance which is a
disgrace to our otherwise fair escutche
on. We do not purpose to develope a
plan or even give the outlines of oue
for the accomplishment of this very de
sirable end. We do not pretend tosuffi
cient sagacity for this purpose. We
saw wiser heads than ours puzzled in
'sl on this subject, when the assembled
wisdom of the State met, deliberated, |
and adjourned without maturing, or j
even suggesting anything practical or j
feasible. The subject is doubtless be
set with difficulty. So were a thousand ,
objects once deemed impracticable, but
now accomplished. Where there is; a
will there is away; whatever ought
to be done, can he, is a truism. Let
I
the subject be “agitated,” especially in
view of the approaching convention of j
our legislature, when we hope the gen- \
era! assembly will not spend their time, j
and the people's money, in discussing j
•‘barren issues,” “speculating,” Presi-j
dent-making, drunkenness, or gam-,
tiling, but in legislating for the peo
ple's good. no

Scene at a German Watering Place—;
Latllc. Gambling,
The St. Louis Democrat is favored with j
an occasional letter from a European
tourist, who is evidently a cultivated
person and a graceful writer. His last
gave a description of the fashionable
watering place of Weisbaden, from
which we make an extract which is
worth reading :
I left the Rhine a little below May
ence, and made a short visit to Weisba-,
den, some eight or ten miles east of the j
river. This is a beautiful place, and j
one of the Saratogas of Germany. The
principal spring here throws up water
in large quantities, mingled with gas,
which produces a constant gurgling
sound, somewhat like water running
from a jug. The water of this spring,
though clear as crystal, has a tempera
ture of about one hundred and thirty,
and, of course, is too hot to be swallow
ed without cooling. Its taste, when
cool, somewhat resembles that of the
Congress Spring at Saratoga, but when
first dipped up it tastes very much like
hot chicken broth, well seasoned with
salt and pepper.
I took a stroll early one morning
over the beautiful grounds, and around
the springs crowds of people, each with
a tumbler in hand, were walking up
and down coolingoff the boiling draught
before thc-y could drink it, and this
done, returning to the spring for anoth
er glass. The high and the low seemed
here to meet together, for mingling in
the crowd, I saw laces and rags, beauty
aud deformity, wealth and poverty side
by side, all intent upon imbibing as
1 much as possible of the health giving
waters. Invalids form but a very small
part of the company here. Counts and
princes, lords and ladies, as well as
belles and dandies, gamblers and black
legs, are all mingled together witli crip
ples and crutches. In one part of the
grounds is a large palace-liko structure
called the IvurSall, in which are not
only dining rooms, reading rooms, con
cert rooms and dancing rooms, but
more conspicuous and more frequented
than all the others, are the gambling
rooms.
I was amazed io sec the eagerness
I with which tire infatuated crowds
around these tables watched the pro
: gross of the play, and often staked large
! sums upon the mere turn of a die. 1
had before seen gambling on the Mis
sissippi steamers, but compared with
j Wiesbaden that was no gambling at all.
iAt these tables sat elegantly dressed
ladies in white kid gloves, and slovenly
! half-drunken hack-drivers, side by side,
| staking money often upon the same
\ figure. Even old men, bowed down
; with the infirmities of age, were there,
| reaching out the money with trembling
I hand, aud laying it upon the hoard,
j while mayhap at their side stood a
I youth of fifteen, with eyes kindled aud
! cheeks glowing with the fires of a new
: ly-begotteu passion. Some timid ones,
i doubtless new beginners in the nefari
! ous business, laid down silver, but the
\ most part used only gold, and some
staked thousand franc notes. Poor,
; deluded fools. They must know that
\ not one in a hundred of those who stake
| money around those tables ever wins as
| much as he loses.

Box Hunter Sunk. —We regret to
i learn that the Box Hunter, which lc-ft
- our wharf a few days since, and bound
for Apalachicola, was sunk near the
race paths, by the wilful carelessness of
hands on hoard the steamer Florence
refusing to slacken up a line which they
had exteuded across the river. The
: principal part of the cargo was saved,
i but in a damaged condition. Wc did
I not learn if there was any insurance on
I the cargo, but presume not.— Columbus

Sal.br ati s Springs.—A correspondent
of the Charlottesville Jeffersonian, wri
ting from the 1". S. camp at Sweet Wa- j
ter. Utah, says:
This part of our journey is very fa
tal to cattle, lrom the alkaline springs
aud lakes along the road, the water of i
which is poisonous to animals. We
passed, in a march of twenty miles to- I
day, some forty head of cattle lying i
dead, killed by drinking this water.- j
Quite a lake, called “Sakeratus Lake,” I
lies on the west of our road. I went j
out to see it; the water contains a very
large per cent, of the salt, and along
the shores presents a solid bed of sake- j
ratus.

The Cast of Cnpt. Toiviiscikl of t!ie
Slaver “Echo."
A despatch from Boston informs us,
says the N . \ ■ Post of Saturday evening ]
that Judge Sprague,of the United Stati s
District Court, has decided that the
court has no jurisdiction in the case of
Capt. Townsend, the slaver, and that
he must be remanded for trial to the
district where he first lauded, which is
Key West. The opinion of Judge
Sprague is not final in this mattei. but j
may be overruled by Judge Clifford,and :
from tiie latter may go to the full bench i
at Washington. The probability is
however, that Townsend will be’ re- j
manded to Florida for trial, in which
case his admissions to reporters of jour- \
nals in this city aie less likely to be ;
brought before the court, ami his con-1
viction for the crime, of which he is,
beyond all doubt, guilty, is highly im
probable.
