[FO* THE TIMES AND SEXTINM..J
Te Ik. Teacher, ol Georgia.
At a meeting of Teachers held at Griffin, Aug.
10th, a society was organized tinder the name
of “The Teacher’s Association of the State of
Georgia and we were directed to address our
co-laborers as to the objects and hopes of our
union.
These are fully set forth in the 2d Article of
.the Ca>ritiiti‘> and may be classified as follows:
Fire, .a o.raigtied to seek out and recom
mend the best modes of instruction; and the
means to he employed are : 1. The examina
tion and recommendation of the best Text
Books; 2. The delivery of lectures upon sub
jects connected with instruction; 3. The free
discussion of questions connected with the
teaebe,r’s duties and office.
Second —The Association designs doing all
in its power to diffuse education among the
people of Georgia, by urging the establishment
of common schools, and by ail other means that
may promote this great object; and finally, one
of its prime objects is to produce and cherish a
frieudly intercourse among Teachers. It invites
gyery Teacher in the State to co-operate with
its founders In the pursuit of these ends, upon
the easy terms of subscribing to the Constitution
and paying Two Dollars annually into the Trea
sury.
The objects above stated will commend them
selves to the favor not only of every right-mind
ed Teacher, but also to every citizen—a friend
to true progress, and they are severally worthy
of a full discussion, if our limits allowed it.
It is growing into a settled opinion with the |
well-informed, that teaching is properly a pro
fession, and that every fair scholar is no more
necessarily a good teacher than he is a good
lawyer or physician. JBut while teaches and
tyros are scarcely, if at ail, recognized in tiie lat
ter professions, and a long course of study in the
art ofpleading and one of healing is prescribed
to the candidates for their honors and emolu
ments, the youth fresh from a school perhaps
of inferior grade, or the yotir.g inexperienced
collegian, without previous training in tne art
of insiruetion is admitted to the responsible duty
of directing the moral and intellectual destinies
of our rising generations. The very nature of
the teacher’, duties indicate the necessity of such
instruct'd., while ths facilities therefor are
wholly wanting in ths Southern States. There
are schools of Medicine and Laws, and yet it
cannot be believed, that he, who is set to de
velope and train th innocent and untutored in
tellectual faculties, and to stamp an eternal im
press upon the moral nature of the plastic young,
needs less direct preparation sot his peculiar
work, than he does who is called to bafffe physi
cal infirmities, or to guard pecuniary interests.
And yet our destitution of moral schools and of
institutes for the training of teachers, and hith
erto of Teacher’s Associations has left this large
nnd useful class of professional men to the adop
tion of such chance methods of instruction as
the example of their former masters, or their
own caprice, or individual genius might supply ;
perhaps in too many cases to no efficient meth
ods at all.
If in any case tho teachings of a wise expe
rience are needed, surely there is demand for
them in a work where the subtleties of the men
tal and the perversity of the moral nature ought
to be explored, understood and directed or con
troled so as to develope the native powers of
the mind in the highest perfections in wisdom
and usefulness. Our Association proposes, as
far as we can effect it, to supply the deficiencies
ofa regular professional training, and to bring
together one individual experience as a common
stock, from which all may draw useful and im
portant lessons. We hope thus to magnify our
calling by eliciting every possible improvement
in each system of instruction, to subserve more
efficiently the interests of our race in accom
plishing our great mission.
Ii is not necessary to discuss at length the
measures proposed to effect these objects. It
maybe sufficient to .y, that while they are
obviously the most simple, and therefore, most
likely to suggest themselves in the incipiency of
out enterprise, a largo experience will doubtless
lead to the adoption of such other measures as
shall render it entirely successful.
The second object above mentioned is to do
all in our power to diffuse education among the
people of Georgia by urging the establishment
of common schools, &c. A nation of freemen
should be a nation of scholars, that each man
may read and think and act for himself, unaf
fected by the pernicious teachings of unscrupu
lous demagogues. This is one only security for
a wise maintenance of our liberties. Progress
in other departments, in arts, manufactures,com
merce and the means of inter-communication is
of questionable benefit to a people, if they are
to be left from generation to generation without
moral and intellectual culture. Hereditary stu
pidity will become a characteristic of the people
and fit them all the belter for being tools to those
whose superior knowledge of shrewdness quali
fies them for taking advantage of the multiplied
resources of the age to achieve their selfish ends.
The worst despotism is thai which the control
of vast sources of power gives to the educated
few over the uncultivated “many,” and unless
’ education and virtue go hand in hand with
physical progress, it may become a minister of
the most flagrant corruption and of the direst
mine. Let us, then, no longer glory in our
vast improvements so long as perhaps four-fifths
of our youth of proper age are not at school, or
- while 50,000 of our white population, of whom
more than 1(3,000 are voters who cannot read and
i write. These latter have each a power at the
polls equal to that of the most enlightened voter,
and it is befitting to say the least of it, that they
should know how to write a ballot or to read
one after it is printed for then*. We shall nev
er be the Southern Empire State until the facili
ties of at least Common School Education be
afforded to every freeborn citizen. We owe
tliis to each other, and to ourselves, for our in
dividual good depends upon the common weal;
the State owes it to her sons—the eons owe it
* to their State to see that none are by necessity
’ so ignorant that they are not able to learn at
least from the newspaper and the Bible all they
need to make them intelligent and virtusuß fr*e-
J men.
; That this is a necessity generally felt is not
’ to be denied. No more is it, that there are vast
> practical difficulties in the way of accomplishing
it. We believe that these, and not indifference,
is the reason of so little being done in this great
cause. None have yet been found with zeal
enough to find the way out of this labyrinth ;
none perhaps have been sufficiently well-inform
ed as to the precise nature of the work lo be
done. Who 6hall be the pioneers in this great
enterprise—shall level the hills and fill up the
valleys and lead the way into the fields of gen
eral culture ? The Teacher, manifestly is indi
cated by the character of his work as the proper
leader here. His profession makes him ac
quainted with the intellectual wants of the peo
ple—his experience, more than that of others,
may best indicate the remedy—tiis devotion to
his peculiar task fosters that sympathy for the
young which prompts to effort, and is the surest
pledge of success.
Let us then take hold of the subject, let us
bring together our experience, our zeal, our
knowledge and combine in a common effort to
give a school to every neighborhood, and to
open its doors to every minor, and it will be
done. We may not, nay, we do not yet see tlie
best method of doing this, but we do distinctly
see the work to be done, and we know that it
can be done, (for it has been elsewhere accom
plished,) and our will shall find for us the way.
Our combined action will arouse the public mind,
awaken tlie dormant faculties of Legislators and
set in motion forces that shall sweep besotted
ignorance out of our fair land from mountain to
seaboard.
The space already occupied forbids a discus
sion of the third object specified. Suffice it to
say that our first meeting opened to those of us
present such new 7 and lasting sources of plea
sure, that we believe that none of the members
will willingly be absent upon any like occasion.
In conclusion, we would respectfully invite
and urge every Teacher in the State to be pres
ent at the next semi-annual meeting of the As
sociation which is to be held at Milledgeville on
Wednesday, 30th November at 7 o’clock, I*. M.
We further beg leave to suggest that even a
few day’s absence from school duties for such a
purpose cannot meet with tlie disapprobation of
even the most exacting patrons, since every ad
dition to the efficiency of the Teacher is a direct
benefit to tlie people, and the advantage will
doubly repay the lost time.
We would refer those w ho may wish to learn
more of our Association and its objects to tlie
common School Journal, published in Colum
bus atsl per year, by Rev. T. F. Scott, and
recommend that every educator in the State
subscribe to this Journal,
With sentiments of paternal regard for our
fellow-teachers in behalf of the Association and
for ourselves, we commend these matters to
their consideration.

[FOR TIIE TIMES AND SENTINEL.J
KOLA AFTER THE GERMAN.
BY PAUL NORO.
A child stood alono in tlie moonlight. By his side softly
murmured a flashing streamlet. Trees waved gently over
it, now and then dipping their long branches in its waters.
The soft air stole past, bearing the perfume of flowers.—
Then through the heart of the child tiiere thrilled a strango
joy, nnd ho rsLsed his dark, wild eyes to the Heavens. He
beheld there a beautiful Shepherdess surrounded by milk
white lambs.
A whisper of music trembled on the air beside him chim
ing with the music in his soul, and lie gazed around. Be
fore him, with the silent moonlight falling on her head,
stood a lovely girl. Around her sunny curls was a circlet
of pale stars, and her blue eyes were turned upward. Her
white arms were raisod gaily above her head. The boy
gazed eagerly and the leaves whispered—“ Eola
The bewitching vision turned her eys upon him and
gmjluri— a smile so wildly beautiful! Then & strange desire
seized the heart of the boy, and he sprang forward witli out
stretched arms, but the airy figure receded before him.
Still pursued the child, and still with its beaming smile upon
him, from his path glided the Illusion. It has disappeared!
‘•Eola! Eola I’’ he wildly cries, and bends over the
dimpled stream. Still humming its lullaby song, flows the
little stream on its way,unheeding the listening child. He
iooks upon the dewy grass where she had stood, and the
trembling leaves that whispered her name, and he cries dis
pairingly “Eola Still rains down the silent moonlight,
but no voice answers him !
By the steady rays of a lamp a student is bending over j
his page. His brow is loity and pale, and his warm lips !
compressed. In his dark eyes burns a fitful fire, and lie \
pausesattimes with clasped hands,as if in thought. Genius
is in the soul, and pride on the brow of the young student.
Hfs noD’er nature is warring with ambition, and hecloses
his book, puts out his light, and drawing the curtain gazes
forth from the window. The soft starlight floats down si
lently, and his burning eye wandering over tho hushed
earth, marks that all is beautiful.
The leaves are talking softly like persona in their alecp,
and they murmur “Eolal” The heart of the ttudent bounds
wildly, and he gazes eagerly around. On a bed of violets,
with the stars among her clustering curls, stands tho unfor
gotten image of his childhood. Her arms gleam white
amid the shadows of the arching Elms—they are extended
toward him—‘‘Thou art come !“ and the student leaps
though the window, and rushes toward her. Her lips open
and once again he hears tho music which haunts his soul.
His arms are extend —” Now I have thee, Eola I” he cries
exultingly, and clasps them around her. Gliding before
him like a moonbeam—still farther in the shadow of the
lofty Elms—he clasps but empty air. Still her face is to
ward him. Around that mouth ofunearthly beauty plays a
radiant smile, and from her blue eyes stream a mysterious
and winning light. Gently waving to and fro, she grows
faint and pale, and now the starlight is failing gently on
nodding violets.
“ A mockery ! A mockery! cries the student passionate
ly and cans himself on the earth. The trees wave their
long tresses gaily, and whisper “ Eola!” Soft, viewless
lingers part the youth’s daik curis, while thiough the vio
lets runs a rippling laugh, whose echo saya “Eola!”
Hundreds are crowding to a large and well-filled hall.
A prisoner with head inclined upon his breast, is sitting in
the bar. Ever and anon as he moves, the rattling of irons
is heard. Who is this that stands beside him, uttering
words of burning eloquence I His words charm—his eve3
bewilder—hi ■ haughty brow awes his hearers. It is the
earnest student—the dreamy boy, who gazed upon the
evening Bky.
His words have wrought a change—he has averted the
blow of just retribution—he has made the guilty “innocent.”
There is a deep shadow on his brow as he hastens through
the crowded street, and no triumph flashes from the
dark eye that glances around. His pride has bowed to
temptation—he has sold integrity for the breath of fame
—his genius is tarnished.
[TERMS, $2 00 IN ADVANCE.
Tho soft light from a ©haded lamp, fills a large apart
ment. Books and music are scattered around, and an open
door leads into a spacious library. A man is sitting by a
table, with his face buried in his hands. His haughty lips
are trembling, and his brow is knit in thought. Near a
crimson sofa behind him, is a vase of flowers on which a
moonbeam nestles lovingly. Not a sound is in the room,
but wild and bitter thoughts are working in the man’s brain.
SILENCE —SILENCE.
Now comes a faint breath of music, and he gazes quickly
around. Reclining upon the crimson sola, he sees Eola.
The circlet of stars is broken. She gazes at him reproach
fully, and her hands are clasped sadly over her heart.
A fierce joy seized his soul as he looked around.
** Now, Eola, thou art in my power !” he cried, and
sprang toward her. She arose and glided away, still turn
ing her pale, sud lace and mournful eyes upon him. She
stood in the library door. “Nay, by Heaven! but thou
shalt not escape me thus !” he cried passionately—“ I com
mand thee, depart not! I swear thou shalt never leave
me !” and the fury of his soul gleamed in his wild eyes, and
convulsed his trembling lips. She stretched forth her fair
arms toward him. Her lips moved but no sound issued
thence. Slowly retreating, with her pleading face, still
toward him, she disappeared.
In the rage of his disappointment he tore his hair—he
cursed himself and the beautiful Deceit that thus sported
with him—maddened him. And a faint, wailing sound
came floating from the flowers, on which the moonbeam
rested. lie furiously dashed the costly vase with its beau
tiful burden from the window.
An hour passes, and he is kneeling by the window. The
pale and mournful face of Kola follow him. The strong
man is bowed ; tears that glitter like diamonds roll through
his clasped fingers. “I will return to the purity of my
childhood,” he murmurs. “ Thou, Eola, thou wilt no
more forsake me !”
The sun has bowed his kingly head, and left his crown
in tho West which u red with delight. Amid vineyards
and pleasant streams, stands an old and lordly castle.
Through the green meadows, and beside the streamlets, a
man is wandering thoughtfully. The grass and blushing
flowers send up a trembling fragrance. Behold ! the light
fades slowly and the veiled night scatters her incense around.
High in the Heavens Diana draws her silver face, aiming
at distant stars. The man threw himself upon the earth.
‘Eola !” he cried mournfully, ‘art thoo but a vision 1 For
aking the haunts of sin, again I wander beneath the pure
skies of my boyhood. Eola! return to me!” And the
leaves murmured’pleasantly with their soft lips—and the
rivulet danced merrily—and the flowers nodded gaily at
each other. And the strong man groaned in spirit. “ The
dream of my childhood has forsaken me !” Then through
the moonlight stole a strain of music, unearthly and sweet.
A form moved toward him slowly, and stood in the shadow
of the boughs. By her curls with their starry circlet—by
her eyes wonderful in their mysterious beauty, it is Eola!
And he who reclined there,sprang rapturously forward.—
Wild delight flashed from his eyes.
“Thou art come! Oh beautiful !’*
Then casting himself again upon the green earth, he
cried in a voice of agony—“ Thou will leave me! thy
smile gladdens my soul no more !” Slowly she raised her
eyes to his, and on her e uisite face, again gleamed that
wonderful smile. It fired his soul—he would have clasped
her. But suddenly paused. “Thou deceivest me !” he
cried with passionate reproach, V* Thou art but a phantom.
Thou torturest me ’ thou mockest me !”
“Dost thou shut me from thy heart?” Asked the voice
whose articulate sweetness had never before greeted his
ear. And the soft, fair arms were extended, and from her
azure eyes gleamed on him a bewildering glance of love.
His blood bounds tumultuously. “Thou art mine, at la9t!”
and she i* lying in the strong man’s arms. Warm, beauti
ful—trembling with love and bliss, no phantom, no vision,
but his bride, Eolu!
Columbus’ first Letter.
In a, late number of the North British Review
is an interesting article on “European Naviga
tion in early times.” Speaking of the letter,
announcing the old world the discoveries of Co
lumbus, the Reviewer says:
“On the arrival of his first letter in Spain, it
was speedily published *nd issued from all the
| principal towns of Europe. In Italy, the letter
i was even versified and sung about the streets.
In England, Seb.istian Babot tells us there was
great talk of the new discovery in all the court
of Henry Seventh, “insomuch that all men with
great admiration affiirmed it to be a thing more
divine than human so sail by the west into the
east, where the specie do grow , by way that was
never known before.
It was supposed, of course, that India had
been reached hv making the circuit of tlie world
whence the name of West Indies was given to
the new islands.
After a short introduction, Columbus gives,
in his letter, a rapid sketch of his route, naming
the several islands upon which he landed, and
of which he easily took possession in the name
of his sovereigns. These were North Caico,
Little Inagua,Great Inagua, Cuba and others of
less note, and lastly St. Domingo, Os these is
lands lie gives a most enticing description,
speaking of high flowering trees, throngs of
nightingales, and beautiful birds, rich pastures,
honey, new and delicious fruits, valuable har
bors and abundance of fresh water. Os the in
habitants he says ; “They go always naked as
they were born, with the exception of some wo
men who use the covering of a leaf or small
bough, or an apron of cotton which they pre
pare for that purpose ; they are timid and full
of fear; when I have sent one or two of my
men to any of the villages to speak with the na
tives, they have enmu out in a disorderly troup,
and have fled in such haste at the approach of
my men that fathers have forsaken their children
and children their fathers.
“A3 soon, however, as they see that they are
safe, and have laid aside all fear,they are very sim
ple and honest, and exceedingly liberal with all
they have, none of them refusing anything he
may be possess when he is asked for it; but on
the contrary inviting us to ask them. They ex
hibit great love for all others in preference to
themselves. The Indians practiced no idolatry
and believing all good things in lieav en, they in
ferred that Columbus’ boats had descended.—
Thus the Spaniards were everywhere introduced
as “celestial beings,” and “men, women, chil
dren and adults, young men and old flocked to
them, some bringing food and others drink,
with astonishing affection and kindness.”
Columbus describes Cuba as being larger than
Great Britain, and affirms that in a distant pro
vince, which lie did not visit, the men are born
with tails. Moreover lie was told of an island
whose inhabitants had no hair and which aboun
ded in gold more than any of the rest.
This memorable letter closes with the the fol
lowing sublime strain : “Therefore, let the King
and Queen, our princes and their most happy
kingdoms, and all other provinces of Christen
dom, render thanks to our Lord and Saviour Je
sus Christ, who has granted us so great a Victory
and prosperity. Let Christ rejoice on earth, as
he rejoices in heaven, at the prospect of salva
tion of so many souls of so many nations hith
erto lost. Let us also rejoice, as well on ac
count of the exaltation of our faith, as of the
increase of our temporal prosperity, of which
not only Spain, but all Christendom will be par
takers.’’
Thus sublimely was the New World inaugura
