t?o* TB£ TIMES AMD MBMTIKEL.J To the Teachers of Georgia. At a meeting of Teachers held at Griffin, Aug. 10th, a society was organized under 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 Constitution and may be classified as follows: First—lt is designed to seek out and recom mend the best modes of instruction; and the means to be 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 teacher’s duties and office. Second —The Association designs doing ail 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 friendly intercourse among Teachers. It invites every 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 aettled opinion with the well-informed, that teaching is properly a pro fetation, and that every fair scholar is no more necessarily a good teacher than he is a good lawyer or physician. But while teaches and iyroa are scarcely, if at all, recognized in the lat ter professions, and a long course of study in the art of pleading 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 young inexperienced collegian, without previous training in tne art of instruction is admitted to the responsible duty of directing the moral and intellectual destinies of our rising generations. The very nature of the teacher’s duties indicate the necessity of such instruction, while the facilities therefor are wholly wanting in the Southern States. There are schools of Medicine and Laws, and yet it cannot be believed, that he, who is set to de ▼elope and train the 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 baffie physi- j cal infirmities, or to guard pecuniary interests. ‘ And yet our destitution of moral schools and of institutes for the training of teachers, and hith- j erto of Teacher’s Associations has left this largo j and useful class of professional men to the adop- j tjon 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. It in any case the 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 he explored, understood and directed or con troled so as to develops 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 of a regular professional training, and to bring together tfce individual experience as a common ■tock, 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. It is not necessary to discuss at length the measures proposed to effect these objects. It may be sufficient to say, that while they are •bviously the most simple, and therefore, most likely to suggest themselves in the incipiency of oui enterprise, a large experience will doubtless lead to the adoption of such other measures as •hall 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 o: 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 ail the better for being tools to those whose superior knowledge of shrewdness Quali ties tnem tor taking advantage of the multiplied resources of the age to achieve their selfisheuds. The worst despotism is that 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 tbur-fifih6 of our youth of proper age are not at school, or while 50,000 of our white population, of whom more than 16,000 are voters who cannot read and write. These latter have each a power at the po Is equal to that of the most enlightened voter, end it is befitting to say the least of it, that they •horuld know how to write a ballot or to read on * afi€r i8 Panted for them. Wo chali nev er Empire State until the faeili- ties of at least Common School Education be afforded to every .*freeborn citizen. We owe this to each other* and to ourselves, for our in dividual good depends upon the common weal; the State owes it to her sons—the sons 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 virtuous free 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 to be done. Who shall 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 ieader 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—his 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 vet see the 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 the 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 and lasting sources of plea sure, that we believe that none of trie 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, P. M. We further beg leave to suggest that even a few day’s absence from school duties for such a purpose cannot meet with the disapprobation of even the most exacting patrons, since every ad dition to the efficiency of the Teacher is a direct benefit to the people, and the advantage will doubly repay the lost time. We would refer those who may wish to learn more of our Association and its objects to the common School Journal, published in Colum bus at $1 per year, by Rev. T. F. Scott, and recommend that every educator in the State subscribe io this Journal, Wrth sentiments of paternal regard for our fellow-teachers in behalf of the Association and for ourselves, we commend these matters to their consideration.

Editors: —ln your August number is an article upon water , seeming which re minded me of what I saw when on a trip to Chambers county not long since. I called to see Mr. Nelsom Clayton. He had just finished laying the pipes, &c. to bring the water from a spring into his yard, a distance ofsix hundred yards. It may not be amiss to give your rea ders his plan. Tuthe first place he had a ditch dug the whole distance four feet deep, then laid the pipes, made of green pine logs, two inch tube. It runs across a valley about fifty feet lower than trie end at which the water is discharged, and about one hundred feet lower than the spring. At the ,\>west point, instead of connecting the logs by fitting the end of one into the other in a straight line, he has inserted one log into the other at eacii end at right angles, and fastens he ends of the iogs from both ways with a peg or stopper. The object of this is to remove the dirt by pulling out the stopper, should it ever co lect in the logs so as to prevent the passage of the water. The logs being laid and scarcely fastened at the joints, Mr. C. then walled up the j spring nicely with rock, placed a door to it, so j that it might be cleaned out, should such a thing ever i> t and turned the water into the tubes. : : is now running at the rate of about sixty gao>. s an hour, or fifteen hundred gallons in a day and night. Mr. C. intends soon to build a large reservoir for the water to fall into, and lay pipes so as to reconduct it to his horse iotand stables so as to keep a tub of fresh wa ter in each, and also to arrange so as to have the water carried to his garden when needed, ft is estimated that the green pine logs will last twen ty years. Mr. Clayton says, however, he shall feel himself amply paid should they last only four years. Yours, J. Clayton , Ala., 1853. Destroying Mildew.— Marshall P. Wilder, in | a communication to the Journal of Agriculture, j speaking ot mildew on grapes, greenhouse j plants, and elsewhere, says: lve or mor6 than fifteen years used • £-i U j*° r purpose, and in no instance has it tailed to effect a speedy cure. We have known instances were mildew, in the space of a tew nays, would spread its sporules over a large rose house, destroying nearly all the foli age ci the plants. It was extirpated in a short period.” (Timts mttr Btniind. GEORGtA. WEDNESDAY MORNING, OCT. 19, 1853. The Southern Quarterly Review. We observe that a number of the friends of this val uable periodical, have been induced to meet together for the purpose of devising some means coherent to re vive its falling fortunes. This able Review, which had existed so long—which has been for so many years an honor to the country, and a treasure to the South, is dying out for want of patronage! Is not this a sad and shameful commentary upon the Southern people ? The ability with which it has been conducted, no one has ever questioned. It has hurled its darted arrows against the maligners of the South—inculcated a whole some, patriotic public sentiment—and given through its pages to Southern pens a noble and brilliant field of effort and usefulness. Wm. Gilmore Simmes, its able conductor, has fur years past, labored long and bravely against the most adverse circumstances. This most gifted popular writer of the South, has wrought a barren soil. He has received little or no remunernation, hut a patriotic purpose and noble pride has kept him toiling on, hoping and believing that the Southern people would appreciate the- importance of his aim, and re munerate the labor of his brain. For several years past, the annual defie'l caused by its meager support has been supplied, by a few zealous literary gentlemen who have thus expended hundreds of dollars from their own private means, that the pub lic might be Lenefitted ; but upon this canting noisy cry of building up Southern enterprise, and encouraging Southern talent, while the first pens that we boast, are left to beg for employment ; we say this canting noisy cry, because facts speak too plainly to be misunder stood. Show your faith by your works. These boast ing professions are to be mistrusted when we daily wit ness them ending in “articulate breath of wind.” Har per*s and Putnam’s monthlies, and the foreign Quarter iis, are to be seen upon every shelf. Northern publish ers and writem grow fat on Southern patronage, while our enterprising public men and literati are left to starve. We would not be understood as depreciating Northern or foreign publications, but we do condemn that short sighted, unpatriotic, suicidal course which tends to drive off our talented and cultivated minds to peek employment elsewhere. We can afford to have the best Northern and foreign publications, and yet sustain our own. But when in addition to the better, wo see much worthless trash filling the tables of our Boook sellers at the expense of cur own valuable litera ture, we cannot forbear to speak plainly what we feel. JVoje is the time to aid in hulling up tne Southern Qcaterly Review. Send on the subscription price, (five dollars) and show by your acts that you are a friend to this great enterprise. Health of Montgomery. We have been shown . private letter from Mont gomery, stating that there is not a single case of yellow fever in that city. The- writer says, “I have the best authority for saying that Montgomery is as healthy now as it has been at the same season for years, and I do not believe there has been a single case of yellow fever here, independent of those hi ought from Mobile and Ntw Orleans.” The Advertiser ij- Gazette of Saturday, says : The yeliow fever panic here has died out. As tar as we can find out, the town is remarkably healthy, and the few cases of sickness the physicians have icceive double atten tion in consequence ol the scarcity ot patients. For the last few days we have heard of more weddings than deaths; and the tew who put on long faces because they had foolish ly como to the conclusion that yellow fever was “bound *0 rage here,” now look cheerful and are lively and pleasant. Though the city does not present the business appearance usual to this season of the year, yet our merchants are daily receiving and opening large amounts of goods, and their counters are wel! attended with customers. Building has not flagged for a moment, and large number of handsome tenements, both tor business and residence, have gone on steadily to completion. The Methodist Church Suite. —lt is stated that the New York Book Agents are making arrangements for an immediate settlement with the Methodist Episcopal Church South, on terms entirely satisfactory in regard to a div sion of property. The whole in dispute is to be reterred to the Lon. Judge McLean, of the Supreme Court of the United States. The Judge is expected in New f Vork in a few days, to meet the commissioners of the two branched of the church. Mrs. W ebster, wife of Professor Webster, who kill ed Dr. Park man, died recently. Mrs. Webster was a isdy much esteemed nd respected among a large cir cle of acquaintances. The terrible crime and fate of Her husband had cast a gloom over her life ever sineo that event, which, beyond the power of the kindest i sympathies to dispel, has at length followed her to the j grave. A Mistake in Identity.—The man arrested in New York, a few days ago, ns Don Carlos Valencia with several aliases, charged with attempt'ng the life of a Mr. Mc- Carty. turns out to be Comalii Von Aiten, a respecta ble young German, who resembled the alleged offen der so closely as to deceive a number of persons. A Letter from Col. Davie. The following letter from the Secretary of War, though written only for the satisfaction ot a eorrespon denti has been furnished for publication by him in eonse quence of his being involved in that malignant misrepre sentation, which lias been the lot of every one who lias refused to acknowledge the incomparable purity and pre eminent patriotism of a faction of the New York De mocracy. We copy it from the Washington Sentinel : Washington, D. C. Oct. 6. My Dear Sir : I have not seen the publication in the Herald , to which you refer, Mid which, if seen, would not have received any notice from me, had it not been dignified by the attention of same one whose good opin ion I regard. Thanking you for your kind interest and confidence in me, 1 reply that you have not, in this instance, mistaken my position. Whatever may have been the language employed, the statement that I had endorsed Preston King and John Van Buren is false, and, I will add, would ! have been absurd if I had presumed to do so. I served with the first named gentleman in Congress and on the slavery question, we were the antipodes ot each oilier. Os his subsequent course and present posi tion lam not in'orined. The second named gentleman is known to me personally only by private intercourse • Ills position as shown by the publications of the day. has been very objectionable to me, but now is in accordance with the genera] amnesty declared in the Baltimore con vention, and ratified by the presidential canvass of JSS2. I received the proposition to unite on the platform decla red by the democratic party in general convention as a settlement of past feuds, and have been ready to operate with all who, adhering faithfully.to the principle and pol icy then declared, are willing to go with mo in the on ward march of democracy. It would have bean hollow and dishonorable to have ah M mth TANARUS” that **•.’ * wh the eampoum wotr.r hi-, .ummoMd tb*m to H „ wer f or ,h„ ir i b ,. gone” opinions. So tar wa> this from any purpose or pol icy of mine, that I had forgotten, if indeed I ever knew, the contents of speeches and letters which have recently been brought to light,.and present men in whom I had entire confidence as haviug been, a very few years ago, the advocates of freesoilism. Notwithstanding the significant mark of confidence given to Mr. Dickinson, when he was offered the best fi nancial and political appointment in the State of New York, I have not, and will not, approve the anti-slavery speeches lie made in 1847 and 1849. And although Judge Brouson holds the high post which Governor Dickinson declined, I trust I shall not be numbered among those who subscribe to his letter of July 15, 1848, I < the meeting to ratify the nomination of Martin Van Bu ren, and contribute to the extension of freesoil. lam willing in these as in other cases, to drop the inquiry into by-gone opinions and associations, to adhere to the com pact of 1852, to oppose disorganiz ition, to resist agitation and to promote the harmony of the democratic party as the b st means of sec rug |:eiee among the St;.! sand prosperity and perpetuity to the Union. Now, this is not to approve objectionable antecedents, not to endorse the opinions at war with my creed, but to act as b comes those who beiieve the union of the democracy to have been sincerely, honestly, and substantially made for pub lie and not personal ends. Holding, as I do, that party or ganization is a i4eceas.it y means to ensure success to prin ciples on which parties are formed, 1 cannot but lament the division which has, without recent cause, opened the old wounds in our party of New York. I do not assume to mingle, still less to judge, in this family quarrel, but will abide the course of rapidly trans* piring events, and hope that the true democracy may crush any disintegrating faction which goes into coalition with the whi^s. Very truly, your friend. JEFFERSON DAVIS. Munificent Gijt. —lt will be perceived by the pro ceedings of Council, that Dr. Frampton, with an en larged and wisely directed liberality, has presented his valuable Library to the College of Charleston, and that Council has marked their sense of his generosity in a manner that will prove an enduring and grateful me morial ot the munificence of the public spirited donor. Charleston Mercury , The King of Holland lately delivered his usual speech to the States General, c including by 25 minutes past one o'clock, P. M. It was immediately translated, transmitted by telegraph to London, and composed and published by three o’clock the same afternoon. The line traverses nearly one hundred miles on the bed of the German ocean. The speech contained 1,750 words A Daughter of Patrick W. Henry Defending her Father. —Mrs. I) S. Vinston, an aged widow lady, formerly the wife of Mr. G. D. Winston, deceased, of Virginia, arid who resides in an humble cottage near Athens, Alabama, is a I daughter of the celebrated Patrick Henry, of i Virginia, of revolutionary memory ; and we ; | notice that a late number of the Athens Herald contains a communication from her, correcting ; a statement in Wirt’s Life of Patrick Henry, j wherin it is stated that “in one of his earlier j purchases of land he is blamed for having ; availed himself of the existing laws of the State | in paying for it in depreciated currency of the ! country; nor was he free from the censure on ! account of some participation which he is said to have had in the profits of the Yazoo trade.” Mn*. Winston says that Mr. Wirt was not ac* | quainted with her father, and never saw him, j and therefore had to depend upon others for his j information. The charge was brought against ! him when he was spoken of as successor to Gen. Washington, and, being conscious of his j innocence, he never took the trouble to contra- ! diet it. Mrs. Wirt, his wife, and the mother of j Mrs. Winston, however, wrote to the treasurer i : of Virginia on the subject, and that officer re- I plied that the money was paid in gold and silver. ; Mrs. Winston admits that her lather was con cerned in the Yazoo purchase; but she adds that the “well informed need not be told that many I persons of unquestionable integrity became purchasers of the Yazoo stock, and that all the criminality of the affair is attached to the orig inators of the scheme.” The Abolition Whig Party alive again. — Under this caption the New York Herald de votes a column to the Hon. W. 11. Seward and his party. In refernnce to Win. Seward and i the party which he represents, the Herald re marks : *‘A great political miracle has recently been wrought in this country. Nothing less is it ; than tiie revivification of the whig party, with | all its destructive tendencies. Let it he every ; where proclaimed abroad, so that all men may know and ask in surprise tiow this change thus came to pass.’’ ihe Herald thus assumes the task to explain the “wonder’’ and point out the consequences and finally introduces the annexed compli mentary remarks for especial benefit of Mr. Seward. j ******* In this series of successful manoeuvres Wil-j liam H. Seward has given ample evidence, if j such were needed, of his great skill and talents as a politician. VVe admit his high qualifications in this regard. We would not deprive him of an iota of the credit due to such excellent man agement. But we denounce the political senti ments of which he is the impersonation ; we abhor the principles which would scatter dis union throughout thie prosperous land by arraying the abolitionists of the North against the slaveholders of tin* South, and vve would mourn the day when the Presidential chair should be filled by such a man as William 11. I Seward.” O’ Attorney General Cushing’s opinion on the Texas five million matter, it is stated, has been fully approved by President Pierce. The opinion, pronounced by emineut legal men as exceedingly able and learned, occupies about fifty manuscript pages, and is destined to en hance the fame of its author. The opinion re commends the retention of the five millions bv the treasury, until further legislation on the part of Congress is had, and on the main points ful ly sustains the course of President Fillmore’s administration in relation to the subject. Mr. Cushing in his opinion, it is also said, handsome ly compliments the ability and legal learning of the Hon. Reverdy Johnson, Attorney General under Gen. Tavlor.

It is said that the French Government had received pacific overtures from the Emperor of Austria at 01. mutz, and that France was ready to join Austria. The Koszta affair was to be discussed at Olmutz. The war party at Constantinople insist that under existing circumstances according to the tenets laid down in the Koran war is imperatively necessary. The Sultan, however, has refused to sign a declaration of war. The allied fleets had passed the Dardanelles and pro ceeded to Constantinople for the purpose of protecting the Sultan and the Christian residents from the fury of the Turkish populace. The Sultan, however, regarded th.s movement ts unnecessary, and derogatory to his dignity. The insertion of some new arrangement in the Vien na note has been demanded by England, which has caused Austria to state that she would assent to no fur ther modification of its tenor. Russia and Austria are now perfectly united. It is rumored that Russia now demands the cession of the Turkish Provinces and payment of the ex; eases, Avery violent storm occurred on the English and Dutch coast on the 25th and 20th ult. Rotterdam was inundated. Many vessels were also lost. The steamer Amsterdam was wrecked on the Zuyder Zee—-a gulf of the German Ocean, in the Netherlands.
