MO! 41 ZION, MONDAY, NOV. 18,1822.
We are gratified to observe, that at this early
period of the session, the important subject of Ed
ucatioN has been distinctly brought before the
Legislature. A resolution, introduced by Mr.
Campbell of Wilkes, has been adopted by the
House, instructing the Committee on Publick Ed
ucation aud Free Schools to inquire into the ex
pediency of endowing an institution for the in
struction of Fkmai.es —And Mr. Singleton, of
Jackson, has introduced a resolution in Senate,
which has likewise been adopted, directing the
same Committee “to prepare and report a sys
tem of Free Scnoons adapted to the endowment
heretofore made for that purpose.”
W e have, during a former session, adverted to
the contemplated establishment of Free Schools,
and as our views on the subject have experienced
no change, we shall not now intrude them upon
the publick attention. We cannot, however,
forbear to express our most ardent wish, that some
plan may be adopt. and at the present meeting of
the General Assembly, which shall give to the
School Fund a direction in some degree answer
able to the just expectations of the people; but
we fear the course which has been hitherto con
sidered the most feasible, will fail of effecting “ a
consummation so devoutly to he wished.”
\n regard to the expediency of affording to fe
males the advantages of literary improvement, we
should consider it a libel on the patriotism and
good sense of the Legislature to express a belief,
that more than one opinion exists in that body.—
The early but lasting impressions which are made
upon the youthful mind by the instructions and
examples of mothers, are too ohrious to require
■illustration ; and with the elevation and improve
ment of females, the character of the future men
of our country must be intimately connected.—
I'o afford to women, then, all those advantages of
useful education in our power to bestow, is obvi
oasly a dictate, of patriotism, as well as of religion
and justice. How far the institution proposed
will meet with legislative sanction and publick
approbation, we shall not undertake to determine,
as we know nothing of the principles upon which
its establishment is contemplated ; we will not,
however, do the citizens of the State the injustice
to premise, that any considerations of a pecuniary
nature, which can arise in this #ase, will he suffer
ed alone to defeat au object of manifest impor
tance to the welfare, happiness and respectability
of society.
The following pertinent observations Upon Fe
male Education, are copied from a late number of
the North American Review :
The expediency ofcultivating the intellect of
man is pretty well settled at the present day, and
•it seems difficult to imagine why that of woman
should be neglected. If it have similar powers and
equal strength, it is as deserving of care, and will
repay care as well ; if it be weaker and narrower,
it needs the more to be strengthened, enlarged and
disciplined. If the purposes of society and of life
would be promoted by the establishment ofdoiues
tick slavery, then every spark of intellectual light
in the female Helot should be carefully extinguish
ed; just as birds in a cage are blinded that they may
not look upon the forests and fields, the blue hea
vens, and the green earth, and long to be abroad
upon the air, till melancholy should stop their song.
Hut religion and policy alike revolt at this, Man’s
best happiness, like charity, begins at home, and
like that, is apt to stay there ; and home is sure to
he just what the wife may make it. Now if it were
true dial a woman, who can do any thing besides
making a pudding or mending a stocking,does these
necessary things less willingly,than one who can do
nothing else ; if it were true, as certainly- it is
‘not. that a wile submits to conjugal authority, just
ill proportion as she is ignorant and uncultivated,
how can the great purpose of marriage, the mutual
and reciprocal improvement moral and in
tellectual natures of the sexes, be promoted by an
union upon such unequal terms; and what must we
think of a husband ‘ assez orgueilleuseuient modes
ie,’ to wish from his wife an unquestioning obedi
ence, instead of a sympathy of thought, & taste, &
feeling? It is sometimes urged that, if a woman’s
mind be much enlarged, and her taste refined, she
is apt to think differently of the duties of life, to
require different pleasures from the rest ofher sex ;
that her feelings leave the channels which the in
stitutions of society have marked for them, and run
/’riot, and bring her usefulness and. happiness into
f danger. Now the. plain answer to this is, that
! these evils happen, not because her reason wa
cultivated, hut because it was not cultivated well;
and because the taste and intellect of women gen
erally d>. not receive due culture.
The Address of the board of Managers of the
• American Colonization Society which will be
found in this paper, speaks a language of encour
‘iigeinent which we hope will not only stimulate to
renewed exertions, the professed friends of the
great object in contemplation ; but will excite in
die publickiuind generally, a disposition to exam
ine into the merits of those claims which the Soci
tv has long and forcibly urged upon the liberality
and intercsl.ol the whole American people. We
feel well assured, that when the objects of planting
and a’ colony of American blacks in Africa are rightly
L'liiderstoed, few objectors will be found in any
section of onr Republick. The necessity of get
ting rid of the free black population, may not be
as urgent in some portions of our country as in
others ; but still the desire is universal, that some
plan muy be adopted which shall open the way
for the gradual diminution of their numbers. In
the Southern States they are worse than a nui
sance ; and the people of the free States certain
ly can have no objections to getting rid of a por
tion of their population, which has always been
fully represented in their hospitals, poor-houses,
jails and penitentiaries. We are glad to find that)
the plan of colonization is becoming more and
more popular in the Northern States, and that the j
views of (he Society are becoming better under- !
stood, and more highly appreciated in every qtiar- j
ter of the country. Indeed, the high character
of the men who compose it, the disposition evin
ced by the government to extend its fostering in
fluence, and the flattering prospect of success
which is now presented, afford every reason to
believe that this great scheme of benevolence will
fliint realize the fondest expectations of its hu
mane and liberal projectors.
The Kentucky Republican, speaking of a dep
redation lately committed by an officer of on%of
1 the Philadelphia banks, says : u The report is that
the robbery amounted to a cool hundred thousand
1 or more, and the rat has made bis absconditurc .”
This word l * ahsconditure” may be very conven
ient and even classical among the Kentuckians,
hut will hardly obtain currency abroad, any more
than their bank notes.

requires the most laborious attention, and is far

IMPORTANT LIBEL SUIT.
The action ofCapt. Hull, of the Navy, against
Mr. Ingersoll, for a libel on the plaintiff, alleged
to have been published in the 80-ton Patriot, sev
eral months ago, was tried before the Circuit
Court of the United Slates, in this place, on Mon
day last; Hon. Daniel Webster, and Samuel Hub
bard, Esq. for the plaintiff, arid James T. Austin
and Samuel Knapp, Esqs. for defendant. Mr.
Hubbard opened the cause in behalf of Captain
Hull, ami gave a thorough exposition of the law
and the fact". He was followed on Tuesday by
Mr. Knapp, in a brief but intelligent vindication
of the defendant, which was succeeded by a spir
ited argument from Mr. Austin, of two horns’
length. Mr. Webster then closed in a very able
review of the case for the plaintiff, the concluding
part of which was distinguished by much feeling
and eloquence. “ The plaintiff, Capt. 11011, he
said, did not come to that court for the purpose
of procuring heavy damages of the defendant; he
came there for the vindication of his character.
He would sooner venture his life and his hopes
oi the ocean in pursuit of another Guerriere, than
have commenced this action. He was literally
dragged into court bv his accuser—and put upon
his own defence. Charges of the grossest pecu
lation and fraud had been brought against him,
and he looked for that redress which the laws of
his country enabled him to receive. Time was
when that man would have been regarded as in
sane, who should have anticipated the present
Rial; when the plaintiff and his character were
associated alone with an achievement which de
cided that the supremacy that had been held by
a nation for an hundred years, should, at one
blow, be wrested from her grasp. His counsel,
however, were not disposed to rely on his profes
sional career. On the other hand, said Mr. Web
ster, he comes here as the humblest citizen, as
Isaac Hull, of Huntington, Connecticut; aad 1
am content he should be entitled to no higher
privileges than the meanest wretch that crawls
upon the ground. So far from desiring to crush
or impoverish the defendant, as contended, he
Ims, down to the present moment, sought to pro
cure of him some reparation so. the wrong sus
tained, which would not be unreasonable : but iu
vain— and he must appeal to you.”
Judge Story delivered an independent and per
spicuous charge to the Jury, at about 2 o’clock—

Unnatural Murder. —On Monday, the 21st inst.
a coroner’s inquest was held on the body of a
newborn infant, in the Forks of the Yadkin, in 1
this county. The verdict of the jury was, that j
the child rame to its death by the baud? of its
mother, Elizabeth Owens.
The particulars of this unnatural infanticide, as 1
they have been related to us, are as follows: Eliz
abeth Owens was a widow woman, and a mem
ber of the Church. It having been reported that
she was in a delicate way, the Church selected a
committee to go to her, and ascertain the truth or
falsity of the reports. Whcu they arrived at her
house, she unequivocally denied what was laid to
her charge; but from appearances, Sic. the pre
sumption was strong that she had actually civen
birth to a child. This presumptiou was confirm
ed a few days afterwards, by the discovery of the
child’s body, buried in a small hole scratched in
the earth. Its skull was found to have been brok
en. The woman has since confessed that she !
made way with the child, with the hope of avert
ing the shame which must inevitably have attach
ed to her on the discovery of her illegitimate off
spring.
The coroner, who held the inquest, Col. M’
Guire, deeming It unsafe to commit her to jail in
her present delicate health, has admitted her to
bail, a few weeks, until she recovers, —when she
will be committed to take her trial at our next
Superiour Court.
A correspondent in Liberty county observes—
“ The county of Liberty contains three'hundred
and seventy-four white males above the age ot
twenty-one years, and four thousand eight hun
dred and seventy-seven slaves ; pays an annual
tax for the support of the state government of
about two thousand eight hundred dollars, and
. from one fourth to one half as much for local pur
poses. Only three authorized retailers of spiritu
ous liquors reside within its limits. Does any
other county in Georgia afford such an evidence
of temperance in the use of ardent spirits?”
fA'ar. Georgian.
From the N. Y. Statesman.
We have seen green beaus at Mr. Bruce’s store
which were plucked this morning, by one of the
watchmen, from vines growing in Liberty street
which had not been touched by the frost. Mr.
Bruce had some mu-kmeloiib of from 2 to 3 inches
in length, which grew up on the pavement in
Greenwich street! The beans which are about
three inches in length, grew also in the street,
and, as in the case of the muskmelons, are the
product of seed thrown out by the inhabitants
before they were driven thence by the pestilence,
and which took root in the scanty soil between
the paving stones. What a striking evidence is
this of the utter desertion of that part of the city,
by all human beings and douiestick animals .’ Aud
what a picture of desolation aud gloom does it ex
hibit!
Singular Sacrilege. —The late Washington Cos.
(Md.) papers contain au advertisement of the bell
clapper belonging to the Lutheran Church at sVil
liams’s Fort in that county, having been stolen.
Such au article, it is presumed, could scarcely
have been taken away for its value. Like the
Turks , the thief may entertain a dislike for bells,
and peradventure, oil the same account they do,
viz.: “ a belief that their sound disturbs the souls
of the departed.” But the question, whether he
was instigated by ad sire of gain, or hatred of
bells, is unimportant, since it is admitted by all,
that he who would climb into the belfrey of a
church, and carry off the bell-clapper, deserved
to be rewarded with the bell—RorE.

With the subject matter of the discourse I was im

American Manufactures. —Gen. M’Clure made
a bet of fifty dollars that he would take wool in
the fleece and manufacture a suit of satinett cloth
in ten hours. The bet was decided last Saturday
in his favour, having completed the suit and put it
on in eight hours and forty-five minutes. The
colour was a blue mixture ; the wool was colour
ed iu 35 minutes ; carded, spun and wove in two
hours and 25 minutes ; fulled, knapped, dryed,
she; red and dressed in one hour ami 59 minutes;
carried in four minutes 3-4ths of a mile to Mr. Gil
more’s tailor’s shop, who, with the assistance of
seven hands, completed the coat, jacket and
overalls in 3 hours and 49 minutes ; there was
half a yard of cloth left, being in the whole 8 1-2
yards, and of such quality as was estimated to
be worth one dollar per yard. The General of
fers to double the bet that he will make a better
suit in less than eight hours, and dares the advo
cates of John Bull's manufactures to take him up.

THE TREAD MILL.
This new mode of punishing persons confined
at labour in the prisons of England, and which ha 9
there been followed by the best effects, has been
adopted in Hie New A'oik Penitentiary, where al
though time has not elapsed to test its efficacy as
a terror to the evil doer, sufficient is known to
’ induce an extension of the plan. The two w heels
’ which have been erected, and are moved by the)
feet of the prisoners, turn each a run of stories,
which grind per day from 40 to 50 bushels of grain,
and this quantity is expected to be increased to j
CO or 70. The grinding of grain for the Alms- |
house, Bridewell aud Penitentiary, lias hitherto j
1 been a cost to the publick of about ?n average of:
1900 dollars per year—which, by the present plan j
is saved; the cost of working the prisoners out of
doors, has also been about 7000 dollars per an-!
mini; and the same quantum of work can be done [
by private contract, for half the snm—of course,!
this is a further saving. Females as well as males,!
are employed in the Tread mill. On the two j
wheels in the New York Penitentiary, thirty-two !
persons are employed A bell is so arranged as j
to strike every half minute, when one of the con- 1
victs leaves his station and another goes on—so
that each man works eight minutes, and rests the
same space of time. Tire plan bids fair to be of
the most extensive benefit, and to render, with |
solitary imprisonment, the penitentiary a place of
punishment, and not a place of refuge for the
abandoned, to plot further depredations on socie
ty, when an easy imprisonment, perhaps shorten
ed by executive clemency, has expired. We
hope to see it geuerally adoped. [Georgian.
