CABINET. 1 warrknton, junk 21, ms. j The peritMKcili received during the past week, furnish but Jitlle either to Interest or amuse—From abroad, nothin# but reports and conjectures— At home, not any thing of immediate or general interest to attract out* at tention—always leaving out of view Meetings and Conventions —Adams and Jackson—-pro and con—giving dreadful note of preparation. We understand that a call to the Pas toral charge of the congregation of the Second Rresbyterian Church in this city, lately under the care ol the Kev. 1. C- Hunky, deceased, ha been Kiven to the Rev. Professor Church, of Franklin College, Georgia. [Charleston Courier. However gratifying this invitation may be to the friends of Mr. Church (and they are both numerous and warm in their attachment to him) ns a testimonial of unsolicited approba tion, yet they will part with him, in the event of his acceptance, under a runs* ions conviction that tin* place he has long sustained ill their esteem ami regard, will not soon he occupied by another—-And we feel confident, as a member of the Faculty of Franklin College* whoever may ho his succes sor, it will scarcely fall to his lot to et j<y the reputation Mr. Church has tinonghout sustained as u Scholar, Gentleman and Evangelist. An intelligent correspondent of tin* Philadelphia Aurora, lias suggested, as (here is now a pros/xet of war in Europe, it would lie interesting to their readers to have brought into one view, the population and strength of the several nations likely to lie in volved in it The following is the re sult of what they have been enabled to collect from the most authentic soun r within their reach. The Human Empire in Europe, is said to equal in extent all the rest of Europe; it does not however, ap pear very accurately known or de fined. |t is composed ol upwards of fifty different .rations: and these occu pya territory of noa’ two millions ol square miles, and compos*? a popular tion of probably 45,000,000. I' l sia, Russia is supposed to have a lei'* ritory of 8,000.000 square miles, and a population of ten nr fifteen millions: tot id population, probably G 0.000,000. She has an army of about 600.000, a bout 200.000 of which she can take into the field, and a navy of about 400 sail. The Ottoman Empire in Europe Consists of about 70.000 square miles, with 10,000,000 of inhabitants. In \sia, perhaps 1,000.000 square miles and 1 5,000.000 inhabitants, making an aggregate population of 85,000,000. She has a nominal ar my of 400,000 men, and an take into the field probably 150,000, and a fleet of 1 50 sail. Persia, now at was with Russia, has a territory of 1,500,000 square miles, a population of 84,000,000, an armv of 250,000 men, but no navy. Austria c overs an extent of 1,200,- 000 square miles, has a population of 30.000,000, an army of 700,000 men, and a navy of 50 sad. France has in Europe, a territory of about 1,000,000 square miles, a population of 50,000,000. an army of 300,000, Mild a naif <>f 150 sail. The Hritish empire i,V Europe, is a bout 500,000 square miltsS with a population of 20,000,000, an a.mj of 300,000 men, and a fleet of 1000 sJ'il Her colonies are greater in value and extent than those of any other nation, and add to the population un der her dominion probably 60,000,- 000. The above statements are given in round numbers, but are believed, however, not to be far from the truth, and afford a fair comparative estimate of the nations mentioned. Things appear to bo pretty much at a stand every where—warlike operations are not pressed forward in Europe—the price of Cotton j become stationary, and tins Adams and Jackson parties have obtain ed no recent advantages, over each other. Since the adjournment of Congress there has been a perfect calm, which will probably bo inter rupred some little time hence, by the Dinner Speeches which sonic of the Representatives of the people will think it their duty to make season to those who have honoured them with their confidence and who provide feasts for them. Mr. Clay’s ill health, it is understood, will prevent his partaking freely of the good things of the table and making long speeches. Wc presume, however, lie will not decline invitations from select companies kiiil that he will now and then make a short speech, for the purpose of keeping his wrongs and Gen. Jackson’s cruelty fresh in the public mind. Wc are sorry Gov. Barbour is go ingout of tlio country, since the pub lic will lose the gratification they al ways derive from his eloquent lisr raugucs—but we are consoled when w 0 remember he is going to England where his talent will he duly prized— the English papers used to say ol Mr. Rush, that ‘in* possessed an agreea ble talent for convivial eloquence..* Gov. it is a belter man at su h u bu Hines# thr.n Mr. U.

A Sign.—Ask a Jackson man what the result of the next presidential el ection will he, and he will instantly, in the full tone of confidence, answer, “W’e have not a doubt, sir, wc are as well assured of success next fall as that we know that the season will rc- j cur.” lut the question to an Admin istration man, and he replies, after some hesitation-—*NVliy, sir, i think we have nn equal chance.* This looks like ‘a sign.’ Nuuh. For the CABINET. ” Mr. Editor, Having not long since, attended an examination of the pupils of Spar ta Female Academy, I have conclud ed that a few remarks upon the con dition and prospects of that useful seminary might be interesting to some of your readers. Such an Institution conducted upon so extensive a plan, and exclusively appropriated to the msluction of females is almost a nov elty in our state. It is a growing and flourishing s Imol. Is location is an eligabie one, both as it respects the health anil in orals of the pupils. The Rriti ipal, Mrs. Warn is a sti perior woman, and possesses iu an eminent degree, that m ;3t indispensi bio qualification f<r managing an institution successfully— a talent for government. Her presence is Fit throughout a!’ the s bool She in culcates Heaven's great law— order. She seems to be as mu h devoted to the promotion of discipline and cor rect deportment among her schol trs, as she is to their improvement iu (heir studies. This is entirely proper ; and I have often been surprised that it is not made as much the duty of Teach ers, especially of tints” who have the care and education of young ladies, to give as strict ami untiring atienti >n to their behaviour and manners, as to intruvt them in a knowledge of the Sciences. What is a learned female, without good breeding and the posses sion of those prudent habits and amia ble virtues which have s > much to d* w ith the happiness and comfort of so ciety ? Without these necessary q:ia itli utions, she is, with all her boasted acquirements, little else than a spleu did toy—or a destroying angel—a useless, or destructive creature ! 11-r principal Assistant Fe n her, is, Miss Sher wilt, an accomplished, a greeable and highly talented y oung i tdy. She teaches w ith great assi duity and accuracy. She is not sa tisfied that her class repeat the au thor's language ; she requires of them, the reasons jand principles of the science upon which he has written. I wgs net u little pleased, at her tact, in reletv:hg a young lady from her embarrassment J whenever she became confused iu answering* a question \ single glance of the eye—thoughtful pause—a little cant of the head—a .slight modification of the voice, was 1 sufficient to recal the wandering’ thoughts, and to collect the scattered powers of the blushing pupil's mind. The manners of this young lady arc peculiarly graceful and winning.! She would shine in the first literary i circles of fashionable life ; and yet she possesses an pptiturie and ease’ of address, which makes her intelligible to the smallest girl in school. And the young ladies seein conscious of her worth ; and are emulous to copy so line a model. There are two other young ladies employed to give in struction, one in music and the other in French and perhaps the. other lan- I gouges ; besides a young man of me jt*it, who renders assistance iu the higher branches of education. 1 he Institution is in possession of a small Apparatus, and several useful and entertaining experiments were performed, both iu Chemistry and Natural Philosophy. This is the best way to leach. One experiment speaks louder than a thousand theories, it is to be regretted that all of our Aca demics are not supplied with some of the most useful Apparatus. A por tion f tiic public fund would enable them to purchase, some of the n.cs common and necessary use. Mrs. Warn’s mode of teaching Geography and Ancient History, is novel and preferable to any I have witnessed. She uses the Black Board, with uric of which, each scholar is furnished, and at the word of com mand, it was amusing to see the glow i of emulation kindled in evf*ry counte nance, in the struggle for the prize it* drawing the best map lor the class, of the peri a! to he recited. Now as ; tin* scholar advances in recitation, she ; is required to explain upon the Board, every step slit* t ikes. ‘Phis keeps up a connexion in the mind of the pupil and impress it more permanently up on her memory. I hope this mode ot teaching Geography \vill become com mon to all our schools. Mrs. Willard, tout name most distinguished of all names in this oge fur female educa tion, is said to have been the first who introduced this plan of instruc -1 ion. This InstUuti jn is ar. onn-nent, not only to the county <•( Hancock, but to the state. It afl‘r:h all the facilities and advantages of acquiring a good education at ii mth*, at a much cheap’ r rate, and wi bout tho risk of health abroad. We save a large sum of mo ney, whi It would otherwise be sent out of the st de nod spent at i'treig.T s hoop;. And the ikuighler is so near h r mother that the in t!:*r can have | that most desirable of all a parents j cares, the forma'ion of her chi'.l’m j character, ii her own hands. Fail | Institution will give to society its hi ‘ * sings ; nut only by making and itiiEi daughters and valuable wives, but >y qualifying many to become the dis pensers of that knowledge to oth *rs, which they there acquire, in th*-ir turn : and thus its benefits w‘!l be multiplied and felt ail around us an l ly ages yet to cone. And while wo man, that best gift of God to man, continues to hold a deserve ! r auk u m mg us, sun h an Institution will be near the hearts <>f all friends to the happiness and exalt** iori of our race.

The importance of education as a mean of 111 >r;tl improvement is uni vers.tlly acknowledged; it is therefore, much to be r ‘grotto I, tfv.it t.h >3l* who have th * direction of’children in their earliest years should he so i a atten tive as we commonly find they are to the improvement of their minds. It is generally believed that, a child is ti t capable of virtue or vice, read therefore moral education is deferred till the state of infancy is over. But it is certainly .true, that a child, even ui its earliest infancy, id ay contract vicious habits, which shall after wards be found to have a most fatal consequence upon his life ami conver sation. .Moral ins t rue *io 1, there fire, cannot be begun too early; c\ on an infant is capable of b*irg stubborn, or obedient; fretful, or c >n tented; re vengeful, or good-natured; It wore easy to show by a number of instances, that the cducali j;i of young children, as it is commonly, managed, tends rather to establish vicious habits, than to lay the foun dation of virtue. Children are taught to threaten and beat those who they think have injured them; thus they learn to ho revengeful. Their good behaviour is sometimes gratified with sweet meats which at once hurt their health, and teach them gluttony and sensu ality. They are told, that if they da not behave well such a person will take them away, and the person pitch ed upon for this purpose is generally old, decrepit, poor, or at least a stranger; thus they are taught hard ness of heart, disrespect to old age, abhorente of rags and poverty, as what transforms a man into a being of an inferior order; and a dislike to strangers. They are flattered, ra ressed and praised on account es the!
