The Lafayette (N C) Courier states, on the authority of Mr. McLaughlin, recently returned from abioad, that there is a project on foot at Naples to ex tinguish the fire of Vesuvius! It is under stoed that the bottom of the main or grand crater is several thousand feet below the level of the sea. The plan, therefore, is to dig a large trench or canal from tne sea to the cra ter, the expense of which will not exceed two millions of dollars, and thus extinguish the fires that have been burning for thousands of years. It is said that the first lands thus to be reclaimed will more than ten times pay the expense of executing the grand design. (Telegraphed for Charleston Courier.) Baltimore, May 24.

The Educational Convention. We are pleased to sec many manifesta tions of interest evinced by the people of the State, in the Convention to be held at Mariet ta, on the Bth of July next, to devise some practicable scheme of Common School Edu cation. Many counties have already held meetings and appointed delegates. Other counties are moving. All should be repre sented. An examination into the educational sta tistics of Georgia would, in our opinion, do monstrato the importance of holding the pro posed C invention more clearly, than a long and general article upon the value of educa tion and its benefit*, physically, morally and : of 6 and 16, who could not read or write! This in 80 counties. Were returns received from all the counties, the number would be largely increased. These facts are painful— they are mortifying—but they are true. Be sides, only $19,278 were distributed during that year for educational purposes— about 60 cents for each child in the State, whose pa rents were not able to educate it. Certainly, somo great improvements are required in our present system to make it per fectly available. The object of the Marietta Convention is first to devise some wise and practicable tem of Common School Education, and se cond, the means to carry it fully into opera tion. The first germ of the Common Sciiool sys tern in this country is to be found in the city of Boston. As early as 1635, “ a schooimas ter was appointed for the teaching of tiie chil dren among them,” and a portion of the pub lic lands given him for his support in 1642. The State, in 1647, enjoined by lav, that ed acation should in certain schools be free to all, and, as a consequence, the support ofLsuch schools was mado compulsory. Here was the principle first established that the property of the State should be taxed for the education of its citizens. The correctness and sound ness of this principle, we will not discuss here. 'ln that day, it was cheerfully borne by all classes. The school tax is, to soma ex tent, a tax upon the rich to educate the chil dren of the poor. The poor receive the larger amount of benefit, it may be true, but the greater security afforded to life and property by the increased amount of intelligence and virtue diffused throughout the community by a general system of education, is of essentia] importance to the wealthier classes. The ed ucated child, as a general rule, makes a useful citizen. Facts warrant the assertion that the uneducated child bids fair to become the re verse. A word or two on this point. From the report of the Inspector of the State Pri sons in the kittle k-i 1850, it appears that of 664 males inme Sing Sing prison, 349 were under 20 years of age at the time of their conviction ; 487 had never been taught a trade; 60 could not read, and 149 could read only, and that indifferently. Os 114 convicts at Clinton, 10 could not read, and 29 could read only. Al the female prison, out of 71, 25 could neither read nor write ; 17 could read only, and the balance had received a very limited instruction in the elementay branches. At the Auburn prison, 109 con victs were, previous to admission, unacquaint ed with the alphabet, or could read but little> and 64 had no knowledge of arithmetic. The Inspector closes with the remark : “ that the frequent examinations into the causes of crime among the convicts almost invariably lead to the same result, and upon the mind rhe startling truth that a neglected edu cation in youth is the source of all, or nearly all the crime among us.” The proposed Educational Convention, when assembled at Marietta, will doubtless have al] ■ the tacts before them, and will be prepared to 1 fix upon some system which will appear best I calculated to prove of the greatest ! ene:?. to ! the greatest number. Whether tht.i system shall be serried into effect by taxation or in some other way, will be the proper province of our Legislature to determine. A gentleman of Boston, of much intelligence, and versed in the working of the Common School system in Massachusetts, in a letter dated April 29, 'sl, statements on this point, which ! Slow. Dr. J. W. Stone, the gentle- to, was written to on this sub te following extract is but a portion iffihfee .e'Kthe may pub 2 1. Y ll w j][ be obliged to j .nmi ju uet by direct State taxation, l T'®saTund, as will ba necessary to carry on I' l he schools. You will have to do nothing of the kind. What yoa wish in the outset, is the appropriation b; the of a per | tnaneut fund, or a lermanent income; and it need not be very large. It is only necessary to have it sure. that, it shall be faithfully ap propriated to this object, and it is of no conse quence fhetner it be derived from railroads or lands, oi any thing else. The great secret of success pi the establishment of public schools, is an akropriation by the Slate Legislature of a ceffn amount, small though it be, to each tmii, or county, but made larger in pro portion ’»the amount raised by the town, or county : felf, for the purposes of education. It has brtr. thought by many of the best friends <education here, that if we had a schoof fund which wonld defray the whole ex- public school instruction, educa tion wbull not flourish as it does now. And I think that there may be some truth in this. For fcrtainly benefits are appreciated some what in prooortion to the exertion that we bavetonithc to obtain them; and if each town, or county is stimulated by a gratuity proportioned to the amount it raises, the in habitants st the town, or county, will exert themselves tv obtain their full proportion of the fund, and will appreciate the benefit of the school ifcagjic'ion, which is thereby imparted, far higher than if it came to them without any direct taxation. There must be legislation in the shape of encouragement from the Legislature, and then tlie towns, or counties, will take up the subject voluntarily. The next great incentive to improvement in common school instruction is found in our system of Normal schools, of which we have a considerable number in Mas-achusetts.— These make thorough teachers. Every one of them pledge themselves ta become teach eis before they are permitted to enter the schools. If you had ever attended the exami tion of such a school, as I have, and seen the vast superiority which teachers there educa ted, possess over the ancient class of teachers, you would acknowledge, as is now acknow ledged throughout the State, that the improve ments to be derived frpm such establishments are incalculable. - fifrwWts C'onveiltton com-., mcnced Its sessions in Milledgeville yester day, and we will probably bo able to announce the nomination in our next Tri weekly. The proceedings of the Convention, wetrust, may be marked by entire harmony both as regards the nomination of a candidate and the adoption of a party creed. The principles, which have heretofore guided the course of the party, will doubtless be reaffirmed. Occupying in the main, the same positions which it held during the late canvass for State convention posi tions impregnable and never impaired by the attacks of the opposi.ion—the party will go forth, contending fora strict construction o* the Constitution and bat.ling manfully aud courageously for the rights of our section. We believe with the Federal Union, tha the convention should plant itself upon the time honored Jeffersonian Republican platform throw down the glove to their opponents, and make with them distinctly the issue and !orc e them tcitsavowal, whether th?y maintain or deny the right of secession; whether or not the federal government has the right to coerce a sovereigl state. Tiiis in fact, is the issue the momentous issue now before the p ople of Georgia If Union men corrupted by north ern whiggery are prepared to abandon the rights of the States, it is time the peopie should know it. If we are to live under a con solidated despotism, in which the South is a doomed minority, let the people know their fate. If vkb Slates have no rights and for a half century the peoole have been living un der a deludon, let them at once see their true cond lion. If Mason and Randolph and Henry and Jeff, rsm and Madison, and all the fathers of the repi’llican school were blind leaders of the blind, let the veil be tin own aside and let the people see where they are, the true cha racter of the government under which they live. The convention, we trust, will lake “no I steps backward ’ Our party is not one of spoils j nor do its ctembers look to the honors of office at the sacrifice of principle.

Yet these same Constitutional Union men and presses, with some exceptions, declare that they will become secessionists and disunion ionists, if Congress should repeal or modifv the Fugitive Slave Law, and in the event of certain other contingencies 1 All their appeals, to the fears of the people, in regard to the direful consequences of se cession, are therefore not only absurd and thrown away, but they are entirely inconsis tent with the very position they have assumed in Convention, in the happening of ceitain specified contingency.. The very arguments they use against the Southern Rights party are applicable to them selves, inasmuch as they are solemnly pledged to secession the moment these aggressions shall be made. They may happen next month or next j ear. Those who easily find excuses for delay in the adoptionof measures of redress forwrongs past, will easily find excuses for submission to future aggressions. When will the time fully come, in the opinion of the Constitutional Union patty, to think seriously of reducing to prac tical use, a right witich many of them treat already as wild and visionary ? Does no t the Savannah Republican argue that a State has no right to secede, unless she consult the feelings of her sister States? Does not the Athens Banner, Mr. Cobb’s organ, declare that peaceful secession is a doctrine too ab surd to be even talked of to men ? Does not the Milledgeville Recorder take almost entire ly the same ground ? Do these Constitutional Union presses rep resent the feelings of the people of Georgia on this point ? The Hacon Regency. The Savannah Georgian has the following (•omtntjitson tlio letter published io the New itb-'XJeurgth politics, which Ve iiave already copied : . I he whole matter is told in the coolest and quietest manner possible. All has been de termined upon, it seems, by a Georgia Albany Regency. One gentleman is to be Gover nor, another Senator in the place of Mr. Ber rien, another is appointed to succeed Col. Jackson, and so are filled’ah the Congressional vacancies, Every thing is “cut and dried” by the managers, without even saying to the people so much as, “by your leave, sirs,” It remains to be seen whether the voters of Georgia will act the part of automaton in the hands of the Constitutional Union wire-pullers —whether they will meet on election day, simply to register the will of the “Regency.” As far asconcerns this Congressional District, we are inclined to think that the peo, le will be disposed to select as well as elect their representative; ami unless we mistake the signs of the times, Col. Jackson himself, or some one equally faithful to D 'mocracy and the South, will be chosen as Col. Jackson’s successor. The Montgomery (Alabama) Atlas learns “from good authority,” that Wm. L Yancy, who was nominated.it the Clayton Convention as the “Southern Rights” candidate Jor Con gress in the Second District, still adheres to his original determination and positively de clines accepting the nomination.

Departed this life in Burke county, Geo. on the 19th inst., of Dyspepsia, after an ill ness of three months, Mrs. Rosa S. Miller con sort ofDr. Baldwin B. Miller, in the 56lhyear of her age. Her sufferings were great, and for the last few days of her life were excruciating, but she bore them with Christtian fortitude and resignation. She has lived a consistent member of the Baptist Church, for the last 18 years, and died as she lived, in the hope of a blessed immortality beyond the grave. The evening before her decease, a beloved bro'her in Christ, asked her several questions pertaining to eternal life. Her answers were that her hopes were in Jesus, just before her death, she would begin to sing praises to God, but her voice would fail her, her heart however was directed to heaven. She has' left a laree circle of of relative and friends to mourn her loss, who will long cherish her memory, and may they die as she died, reposing on the breast of Jesus, the friend of sinners.
