. Doling tlie.sei.iMg of. the Sihio A'gnciiltu-
ial Fair-at AilaLlri last August, the necessity
of n system of Common Schools in Georgia,
win disctissed hy n iiiitnlier of the friends of
llducntioir, there-assembled. - The re<u)t of
their dolifiorations was the appointment of
tlioimdersigned, C^uimitlee, instructed, and
clotfiqdwill; power to call a Convention, ns
a proper .consideration of the subject. In
pursuance of that duly,-w ecalled.a Conven
tion to be heLd.Jast fall, but the. pendency of
an exciting political canvass, subsei;uently
suggested ihe. pfopriely of postponing its
‘meeting Deeming the time propitibits for
tbo good work, w.o.hnve renewed the full for
a Convention, to tic held ou the eighth day
ol July next nt Muriotta.
Ait now Sir, periiii.l.'us most respectfully
lo ink your aid arid co-opciation m this noble
iiiovcmeiit. The forthcoming Census will
sliow that there nro tens of thousands of
adults in G.e nginpwlio cannot read or write
Indeed the proportion of these, to the whole
population is astounding, nhntiling', mortify
ing. And yet w e vaunt much ot uur State,
and justly too of her improvements. But
our glory nnd our slinine ure intimately as.
spciulcil. Along the iron pathway ol our
Rail Roads, we encounter ilie>e unlettered
citizens,* nnd find , them in crowds, in our
l-'iiaipric.i and work shops. Thus through
the' pencils of light, radiating from our boa-t-
cd luiprovemepts, their is seen a dark hack
ground, w hich must tin covered with tlm re
splendent si cen ot Kduc»tion< before Geor
gia rnn display ii full orbed, luminous disc,
in the gnlaxy of Stales.
And how- long shall this stale of things
continue. 9 How long will Georgia continue
to impose (lie solemnities of Oaths, upon her
poor, ignorant citizens, without tin eiflort to
enlighten their understandings and conscien
ce'?. ilo-v long will she entliorna ignorance
in the Jury lliix, upd give forth its decrees
through the Billot ' Box? How long shall
each iecuring Census published to the world,
in n't our old Commonwealth, still linger at an
i iiiucusuruhlo distance, behind the udvunc-
ing civilization of tlieMge. These nre ques
lions w o'rlhy of tho profound considerntioh
of Statesmen, i’liil intliropists, and Patriots
Compared with lliam, the more polemics of
Party or tied, arc as woilliless, as the vugut
( Mtions of Socialists and Rosictucinns.
It cannot have escaped vou, thill eminent
Statesmen and Snvans, from tlic Old World,
visiting our country, with one nccord, rank
the States of the North as the model: .Stutes
of tho Confederacy, became there,. Educa
tion is generally dillused. Tho Common
School System of those Stutes, ore the theme
of their elojuent, and never ending pnnegyr-
ic. Nor e.iu it itnve e.ciped .you, thut on
this veiy-account, jus' hut lutmiliuling com-
parisons me ecus tun tly drawn beta ecu the
North nnd (lie South—comparisons which
humble the otiicrwise proud crest of the
South, the mure liocnuse tl n is the favoured
section of the Union, upon which nature has
lav i>hcd her munificent treasmes of wealth
and fertile soil. Surely if Mnssnchuse'ts
and Connecticut have onst the light of edu
cation, all over their rocky, sterile hills;
Georgin should nt once begin to spread it's
liaunis ntli.wiir| l ei; fcrlilo plains, in her beau
tiful valleys, nnd along the sides of her ore
embeded mounluii.s. If‘Knowledge is Pow
er,’ it is all pow erful and necessary tu n peo
ple, who have amongst them n race, that
must ha kept in subjection. Not to enlarge
on this hint, if you so hold, give to us your
influence and uctivo co-operation,.in the great
object of mousing the public mind to the
iiiiporliin.-o of Common School Education.
We delight in the boast that curs is a.Re
publican State, and consults “the greatest
good, of tl.o greatest number.” And yet
Sir, cnpipuie Georgia's iudiU'eienee on this
subject, with tliu enlightened policy of Pru
sin. Prusin, the defender of legilmnncy, the
champion if you plc i-e of despotism, delights
to make tho light of Kditc.ilion stream around
the hearthstone' of her huu.htest, poorest
citizens. Whi|st Republican Georgia, with
all her,love for tho dear people, sutlers thou
sand' of her citizens to live and die, ignorant
of the great truths of her Religion, mid with
out the first just concept ou ol her Law s mid
Institutions.' Shame upon us I Shnmo up

We abandon the Union, and fnvoyleour
selves in a conflict of arms with the United
States. Every man capable Of hearing ..arms
will have.to abandon-his business and repair
to the tented field. The property of the Sfiite
would havo to he consumed in tnxea or
driven out of I he State. Thousands and tens
of thousands of our citizens would leave the
State vjith their families and pnjperty.—
Business of every kind would be interrupted
The present high prosperity and happy con*
dition of South Carolina would vanish: The
direct trade to Charleston will he useless; ho
goods would he imported. The merchants
ol that city would have-to Itar* it. Instead
of exciting the sympathy of the other south
ern Stntes, we should incur their displensui*
nnd haired. Such a step on the part ot
South Carolina is a reflection on their patri
otism and inteligence. They have all,except
Mississippi, expressed- themselves satisfied
with the, -Compromise,, if. faithfully carried
out. This is doing and has been done.
Already many ot our best citizens are
preparing to leave the “sinking ship,” and
many others have expressed a .determination,
lo send off their property ifSouth Carolina does
secede. We know a gentleman of this place,
one of the largest slaveholders, if not the
largest, in the upper purt of South Carolina,
who is now- preparing to quit the Slate
where he tins resided for thirty years, before
our troubles commenced, and take up his
bode in the upper part of Georgia. There
is a merchant of this town, who lias t branch
if his business in Augusta, and who- has al
ways heictofore ordered his shipments to
Clint lesion, line recently directed them to
Savannah, in order to keep clear of our
troubles ! These ure only indications nfwhnl

Daiing Attempt at Auauination
The editor of this paper has just escaped
a most daring attempt to assassinate him by
u woman, who is culled Jane Young, hy
some who profess to know her, and who is
supposed to ra-ide on Tugol.i river, in South
Carolina. The vengeance of the misguided
woman, we how ever regret to sny, fell with
great severity upon the publisher of the pa
per, Mr. Thomas S. Reynolds. The cir
cumstances, so fur as we have been enabled
to gather them in the heat and hurry of the
moment, nre es billows :
On Wednesday, afternoon (yesterdayJ
about 3 o'cloek P. M , the editor of this pa
per lie : ng absent from his office, a woman of
light frame, with grey eyes, and black hair,
about 45 years of age, emeted the office and
enquired fur the proprietor, of a gentleman
sitting at a table i i the reuding department.
Being told that he wna absent, she went into
the preis room and repeated the same euqui
ry, w hen she was told that he was absent nnd
would bo in the offico in tho course of an
hour nnd a hall. Being still impatient fur
the blood of the edi'or, she approached the
desk of the publisher, nnd taking up a type
nnd asking him “ure these type ?” drew
pistol and shut him. The bull took efi’eci
between the elbtnv and shoulder of the right
inn—pnssed through the arm and entered
the body and ranged nearly through it. It
has been found by Iho physicians, and ex
tracted. Mr. Reynold' now lies dangerous
ly wounded at bis lodgings. The woman
was armed with two large, rifle-bored pistols,
and a large glittering bowie knife—all of
which ate now lying before us
Now, ns lo the pretext for the commis-
-ion of this outrage. Returning to our office,
we met the woman in the custody of the
Town Marshall,and surrounded by a number
of our citizens. In the pretence of thorn
the editor enquired her reasons for the at
tempt. Her answer was “that she had
been published in the Southern Banner as a
man dressed in woman's clothing, going
about doing mischief.’ Upon being asked it
she had ever rend it in tho Banner she said she
hud not—th|t slip line) spnrchpd them all,
new and old, hut cou|d nut find it. She said
she was told hy sovernl friends that the
charge was published, and she supposed it
was done in nn extra, but had never seen
even that.
Now we assure the country that we have
no recollection of pvpr making suoh a publi
cation or nny thing like it, either in our pa
per or in an extia from the office. The
wholpstoryis a ,-liper fabrication.
Now ns to the motive which prompted
this attempted assassination- The woman is
undoubtedly of sane mind, and oqr opinion
is that she has lieen made an iutlrumenl, either
knowingly or un knowingly, we cannot yet
pretend lo sny which, for Ihe purpose of tak
ing the life of tlre editor.
If his political enemies desire his life as an
atonement for the principles which he avpws,
he ia'wi.ling to lay it oil' the alter of his
country*
The woman has been committed to the
county jail under a charge of an assault with
intent to murder.— SlW.Itern Banner.
