TJfoe Boston Riot. jßoston, the cradle of liberty, the seat of learning and science, the keeper ot literature a n( i art, the city of wealth and refinement, the metropolis of mo rality religion, tire modern Athens, is now the scene of riot, bloodshed and jtrcason. The drawn sword .qf Justice is not sufficient to awe the mob and keep them down, but her halls require the presence of gens Jamies, with lead en pellets, sugared in the villainous saltpetre, and bristling bayonets, to keep balanced the scales she is accus tomed to hold. Boston presents the ap pearance of Paris in one ol her erneutes. Nothing but beastly, slavish fear pre vents her citizens from rearing the guil ptine. They thirst for blood. Sum mer degrades the classics to gild his sentiments of murder, treason and pil lage. The solid men of Boston expend their wealth to provide the munitions of servile war. The Rev. Theodore Parker grins a ghastly smile of blas phemous defiance in the very teeth of God, and wrests the words of the sa cred volume which says “Thou shalt not kill,” and which exhorts submis sion to the powers that be, for the pur pose of suborning men to bathe their luqids in their brothers’ blood. Fana tics howl, demons scream, ghouls chat ter .their gibberish over the corpse of .the dead: And this is the fruit of Ab olition : of the absence of negro slave ry : And this is in Boston ! That man has read the chapter of Abolition in our country’s history to but little purpose who fails to see two things—that the negro-mania utterly repudiates constitutions and the bible. The Abolitionists deny any obligation whatever to government, but each man sets up, as the ruler to whom he owes his allegiance, what he is pleased to style his conscience, but what is nothing more •than the very worst passion in his breast, clothed in a little crazy reason ing. And when this temporal govern ment has been established, a union of .church and state follows, and he deifies his conscience, repudiating the Bible, anJ dethroning God, because he finds in the oracles delivered from Sinai a to tal condemnation of the molten calf he j,ias set up to worship. The two essen tials of society—the bible and consti tutions, —are repudiated by Abolition ists. They know no government but their own evil passions, to which they are the most abject slaves, and they ktiow no God but one of their own cre ation. Each man is a government and a god unto himself. In the volume of Higher Law are written the statutes of the former, and the leaves of diabolism contain the law and the prophets of the other. Mobocraey is their civil ruler, and polytheism their Jehovah. Their worship is Manicheism. The streets of Boston are drunk with the blqod of Batchelder. The cry of a brother's blood goes up to Heaven.- Treason to the Government soils the land of Massachusetts. # And what is the remedy? Has the United States Government, strength enough, and power enough to override this riot in Boston, by using powder and ball —by calling into requisition the halter and the gallows—or is it an abstraction, a mere myth, that must --4 alone in diplomacy, despatches and proclamations? Shall the murder of one of our Government officers go un avenged, and shall her laws be trodden under foot, while ttye nation’s constitu tion is set at defiance, and fter God and her Bible laughefl to scorn ? For onr pari, we believe that the G overnment has power, under the Con stitution, to see to this matter of mobs and treason. She has an army and na vy at her command to force obedience to her laws. The Administration, if necessary, should use them. 11 the President and Cabinet are in doubt about it, let the spirit of the great Con stitutional Expounder bo summoned from ijades, and an expression of opin ion be given by him. Let his speech in peply to Mr. Hay no be read by the Cabinet. And if this does not suf fice, let the ghost of Audrew Jackson for a day, seize the helm of the ship of State, and we will warrant that she careers proudly o’er these refractory billows. There is nothing that would do so much to quell Abolitionism as the dis location of the cervical vertebra? of a score or two of those 3,000 heaven-liveried worshippers of the devil, in New Eng land, calling themselves clergymen. — A suspension of their clerical corporos ities between heaven and .earth, would act like a charm upon those whom they suborn to comigit murder and treason. The higher the gallows, the better for them, as they would doubtless be near er heaven then, than when at a dead level with t)ie earth. We knqw of no one more fit to begin with than the Key’d, murderer pf Batchelder, Theo dore Parker. College Education. The great object of educatiqn should be to fit mankind for the performance of the duties which they OAve God and their felloAvmen. 13 ut strange as it igay seem, it is emphatically true that not ope in one hundred aeknoAvledge, if Ave may judge persons by their deeds, the force of this obvious truth. Our whole idea of education is founded up on a fallacy—the fallacy that Avhen a boy goes through a certain number of books lps education is complete.— Hence it is that parents start their chil dren to school at an early age, with the direction given the teacher to rush them on through the elementary branches, then through Latin and Greek, so that they may be actually hurled in to a college, Avaiting their reception. — We said they Avere rushed through the elementary branches. Nay, these are beneath their dignity, and long before a boy can spell correctly in his mother tongue he is hurried to Andrews and Stoddard’s Latin Grammar, Avhich he looks at once or tAvice, and then, helter skelter, pell-mell, here he goes into Caesar, Yirgil, Tacitus, Thuycides, Aristophanes, Plato. Did any one ever Avitness such hot progression— such manifest destiny, driving one on into the very midst of a classical educa tion ? Let us not be understood as oppos ing an acquaintance with the languages of Livy and Theocritus. Far from it. But “ there’s the rub”—in that very word acquaintance. And we boldly assert, without fear of successful contra diction, thgt not ten out of every one hundred of the boys wlio spend their father’s hard earnings, and forget their mothers’ precepts of morality, at one of those fashionable places of idleness, dissipation, frivolity and humbug, yclept colleges, know anything more of Latin and Greek when they receive their diplomas than the old darky Sambo, who attends to their father’s stables, or follows the honorable occu pation of daily, social intercourse with the handles of the plough. We do not consider A man’s education complete without a knowledge of the classics. Thole whq have the time, money and talent to bestow upon a a learned education, should acquire one. But it is worse than folly to employ from four to ten years of a boy’s life in a fabled acquisition of Greek and Lat in. They arc not necessary in a ma jority of instances, from the simple fact that an acquaintance with them is not essential to the pursuits of the great mass of mankind. What sense is there in a stupid boy’s undertaking to learn what he never can acquire? We know it has become very fashion able to bold that we are all equally endowed with intellect in our infancy, and that it is cultivation or neglect which makes ihe difference in after ’years. This is all doubtless consola tory to that class of people who are always crying ‘ I could do so if I would.' It is all folly. Men are not equally endowed with intellect in their infancy. And therefore, what is a proper study or pursuit for one, is not so for another. There arc boys in whose heads you can no more drill knowledge than you can drive a needle to the centre of the Stone Mountain. You can’t make a Franklin or a Jefferson of a dunce. Such boys as we speak of, would make yery good mechanics or farmers, or anything .whicV wqnld not require a superfluity of intellect. Q.r if they were men of property, would make prime “gentlemen of elegant leisure,” and could become very useful citizens of the gevermnent in the discharge of moral obligations between man and man. They could spend reputable lives and go down with credit to the grave. But that they should ever soar high in the regions of mincl could pot be ex pected. Idie idea which WP Wish to incul cate is the one >yitfi which we set out, namely: ibfif, education is designed to preparp p uppi for the calling which he is to follow through life. And the ef forts pf his teachers should be directed tp tips end, instead of to the worse than lmrnbuggery of fashionable, or college education, which is a fraud upon the parent, a fraud upon the com munity which has a right to tjie ser vices of the young man, pud ruinous to the young man liiipself, The Weather. Dame Nature is surely more cap ricious than we eyer knew her. On Wedpesday night >ye went to bed re pudiating all cover, but waked up about 12 or 1 o’clock in search of blankets. Since then, over-coats and fires have beep in demand. LOCAL ITEMS. The coolness of the weather at the time of this writing, has made us al most forget to thank Ike for his last glass of Ice Cream. That Bank of Dirt has not yet been removed, by order of the Com piissioners. No Mail comes here on Sundays from Madison, though the Stage does. Query -Is the sin any greater for the Stage to bring the mail than to bring itself? Would it not be better for the cars to stay here all night, and leave in the morning, than to run up here at 12, and then rpp right back, before one has time to say Jack Kobinson, much less to write and mail a letter ? We merely ask for information. We hope that if good crops are made this year, the male and female Schools will be built. Our Grave-yard demands the se rious attention of our citizens. In re ality, we have no legal title to any bu rial-ground. The spot which is now used as a Cemetery belongs to the Academy Lot, and is only used by the sufferance of the legal holders. We deposite our dead there in defiance of the law. Even if we had the best ti tle in the world to the land, the space is already exhausted, aud the graves are, even now, too crowded. The want of a Cemetery in a proper location is a reproach upon our town, which should be speedily wiped out. llow often during the year are the liv ing called upon to perform the sad ol fice of bearing to their final resting place the remains of a deceased friend! And are not our departed friends enti tled to a resting place, fit and proper, in some secluded spot ? It is the last, and least thing, we can do for them. — In fact we are but acting for ourselves, for God has written the decree concern ing us all, “Dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.” A beautiful spot almost any where around town, might be purchased for a burial ground. The land need not be costly. Indeed the most appropri ate growth we have here for a Ceme tery is the pine, neatly trimmed. An old pine field, properly fenced and ar ranged, would answer the purpose bet ter than any thing else. Franklin College.

But at the same time, alcohol is not the on ly thing which goeth in and cometh out of the mouth, that defileth the man. Aside from beastly drunkenness, we know of no more useless, disgusting and loathesome practice than the use of to bacco. In saying this, we are aware of the probability that but few will agree with us. And why? Because there are so few who do not use the weed. Look at that man, now, will you? Ilis cheeks are distended like those of the Dormouse. With what? W ith that foul, ill-smelling poison, called to bacco. And you must look out, too.— If you don’t, you will get spit upon. — Here it comes —a stream of offensive saliva, enough to make a canine eruc tate. First, he emits it on this side, now on that —now before him and now behind him, until he has a puddle around him sufficient to drown every prospect of decency even, to say noth ing of neatness. Your tobacco-chewer befouls every thing. He drops his spittle on his own clothes, and on those of others. He makes your floor the,color of ambeer, and your furniture has the villainous smell of tobacco. You can’t even go to church and kneel down without dan ger of getting your knees in tobacco juice, for the lay member munches at his quid, while the priest addresses the throne of grace with his mouth fre quently befouled by the noxious weed. Neither has respect enough for God to abstain from a filthy and sinful practice while in his house. Let us suppose for a moment that Ave had never seen any one use tobacco, and that there Avas an absence of the expectorations consequent upon it.— Let there be assembled a company of refined ladies and gentlemen; and noAV introduce your tobacco-chcAver, making an engine of his mouth, and a hose of his lips, squirting his ambeer right and left, fore and aft: What Avould be thought of him ? And yet the impression made upon the company in this instance is the ve ry same which the American nation of tobacco-chewers makes upon Avell-bred foreigners Avko visit this country, and Avho are not accustomed to so much spitting. And this is Avhat gives occa sion for the gibes and sarcasms of your Halls, your Dickenses, etid omne genus. The Americans themselves point the very shafts which are quivered in their bosoms, by the hands of their enemies from across the Avaters. Jack Campbell. Os all the remarkabilities Ave have ever seen, heard of, or read of, Jack Campbell, a negro servant in the Plan ter’s Hotel, Madison, Ga., is one of the most notable. In the first place, there is his remarkable physiognomy. He has a low, fiat forehead, cumbered somewhat by wool—a broad, flat nose, which dilates considerably about the nostrils, but becomes pointed —some- what—towards the end; so that it looks a good deal like a spreading-adders head. Then he has twinkling, serpent like eyes, and altogether his counte nance has rather a snaky appearance. His cheek bones are high, his mouth large, and his cheofcs furroAved pretty deeply by the plough-share of time.— He affects to Avear rather a petulant look, but one who Jod ks tfytr.d t surface, cap see that this is only “put on,” and that beyond first appearances is an evidence of remarkable good four mor. Indeed, one of Jack’s character istics is what may be termed a goqd patured petulance. The first thing tq be remarked here of our hero—for he is a hep —is his extensive acquaintance. He is Isnown from one extremity of the Union to the other, and the person who has not heal’d of Jack Campbell, pray rest as sure. 4 that he is behind fhe’ times, — Whoever has read Major Jones’s Oourt sliip, is somewhat acquainted with Jack; and whoever stops at the Planter’s Ho tel, where travelers from all parts of the world “put up,” also know Jack.— To strangers, especially, lie delights in making himself peculiarly interesting; and np one who has ever seen him ev er forgets him. The “Razor Strop Man” took good notice of Jack in one of his epistles, and that prince of humorists seemed we]l pleased with the ebon jester. Jack is particularly attached to the members pf the Ocmulgee bar. He always calls to see Judge Cone, and Judge Dawson whenever he has an op portunity, and one of the excellencies of these hpnorable gentlemen, is that they can appreciate Jack’s fun. They both tell a joke very handsomely, them selves, and enjoy humor in others. — The man who does not enjoy Jack’s sallies is pot a man. We opce heard an anecdote of a re partee made by our sable jester upon a pert, upstart college boy, Avhose man ners were as disgusting to all true gen tlemen as lobelia to a weak stomach. Our Freshman was a fussy, noisy, strutting little felloAV, ahvays where he should not be, putting in his gab where lie should be silent, and making him self as generally disagreeable as possi ble by an excessive rudeness and fa miliarity of manners. He was as fris ky as a fice in a crowd of big dogs, and imagined everything he said of so much importance as to be spoken in a very loud tone of voice. At the table, in the bar-room, on the street, you might hear his voice—might hear him talking as if he thought the Avorld would halt upon its axis if the most trivial word uttered by him was not heard by the whole town. One day, when he started to the din ner table, his hat, which should have been some where else than on his head, was jostled off by the crowd, and fell to the floor, losing out of the crown some papers. Jack was close by, and, politely as a dancing master, stooped down, picked up the hat and papers, and restored them to their owner. Now let us premise here that the Freshman was not at all guilty of giving the ser vants who Availed on him the dimes which custom has allotted them. This rigid adherence to the hold-tight prin ciple, did not, by any means, meet Jack’s approval, and lie was longing for an opportunity to make the person who denied him his just modicum, smart for it. The embryo Newton was of course also anxious for an op portunity to speak loud, big and pom pous words. When Jack handed him his hat and papers, he said, “ oh thank you Jack, thank you ! I really think your politeness will some day gain you a recompence!” “Never mind de recompence master, es I could jest get a sevenpence !” Jack, as usual, had the laugh on his side. When the Northern part of the State of Georgia Avas being laid off into lots, sections, or districts, as the case may be, Jack ran aAvay from his master, and, after staying out for some time, returned home. Upon being taken up under the provisions of the fugi tive slave laAV, he put in the plea that he had received a commission from the Government to go and help survey the Cherokee lands, and as he felt the calls of his country to be more imperious than those of his master, he hoped his absence might be excused on this score. It is said that upon Mr. Fillmore’s recent visit to Georgia, Jack called up on him and offered the ex-vice presi dent his congratulations, assuring the distinguished guest that he (Jack,) and the Rev. Dr. Means, Avdio Avas present, had been school-mates. But Ave must draAV our lecture upon this Ethiopian specimen to a close. — Uncle Tom may be a hero, but it should be remembered that there are Uncle Jacks as Avell as Uncle Toms. WEEKLY SUMMARY. DOMESTIC. THE FUGITIVE SLAVE AT BOSTON. About 8 o’clock on Wednesday evening, 24th ult., says the Baltimore Patriot , U. S. Marshal Freeman arrest ed, on a Avarrant issued by U. S. Com missioner E. G. Loring, a negro named Anthony Burns, on a charge that he was a fugitive from service, having es caped from his master Chas. T. Suttle, merchant, of Alexandria, Ya Burns Avas arrested in Court street, near the head of Brattle street, and conducted to the Coqrt House, where he remain od under guard during the night.---- Burps is satd to have escaped from liis piaster in Bichnipnd, Va., in March last, and came to this .city, where he has been at wqrlv for Cpffin Ihtts, deal er in second hpnd clothing in Brattle street. The proceedings were conduct ed so quietly that very few persons be sides the officers kuew what was going on. Subsequently, however, a very ex tensive riot Avas gotten up by the ne groes anti abolitionists. Mr. Batchel der, U. S. Deputy Marshall, was mur dered in the roAV. The U. S. and Massachusettsmilitia Avere called m to aid the police in suppressing the not. The court-house Avas surrounded by bayonets while the examination pro ceeded, ffom day to day. On the 2d day of Jue inst., the fugi tive was remanded to his master, and put onboard a A r essel which sailed for Norfolk. FOREIGN. the city of Glasgow—passengers PROBABLY SAFE. Reports Avere curent in Liverpool, when the Asia spiled that the Steamship City of GlasgOAV, had foundered at sea, but that her passengers AV'ere taken oil by a vessel bound for the coast ot Afri ca, Avhere they were landed in safety. This report, it is said, was reeei\'ed from a gentleman who had the intelli gence direct from one ot the unfortu nate passengers. Should this rumor prove correct, it Avill cause great rejoic ing among the friends of the five hun dred persons Avho left Liverpool in the illfated vessel in anticipation of being landed in Philadelphia in the course of : fourteen or sixteen days. DAMAGES TO THE ARCTIC. The U. S. mail steam ship Arctic, Capt. J. C. Luce, struck on the Tuskar rock off the coast of A\ exford Ireland, on the morning, of the 18th ult., and was compelled to return to Li\ r erpool, Avhich port she left for NeAV York on the previous day. She was, however but slightly damaged, and Avlien the Asia left, on the 20th ult., it was con sidered probable that she Avould be ready for sea in about a Aveek. The British ajnd North American Royal mail steanji ship Arabia, Capt. C. 11. E. Judkins arrived at Liverpool on the 20th ult. AVAR BETAVEN SPAIN AND THE U. S. The difficulty i between Spain and the United State; i is exciting much at tention in Europ “. Mr. Soule has sent a special messen* [or in the Asia, and it is stated that Sj fun has peremptorily refused all repar ition in respect to the Black Warror affair, av ith the excep tion of remitting jtbe fine. The Lon don Times says flat Avar is inevitable betAveen Spain and the United States. AVAR ON 1 HE DANUBE. The news from the East is of a far more Avarlike cliai acter than ever. The greatest activity prevails among the belligerents on al sides and they seem to be moving wit 1 a degree of activity hitherto unknowr. The Turks hav 2 gained lavo victories on the Danube. Marshal PaskiejiHtch is endeavoring to turn the seat <A' war toAvards the banks of the Serein and the Dneister. Misfortune appeared to be staring the Rusians in thejfacc, Avliichever Avay they turned. They had been lefeated successively at Russova, Myap< lis and'Silistria. In the last battle theA sustained a loss of fifteen hundred lei. led. To add to their greivances, an im mense depot containing munitions of Avar had been burned at Chony.(?) FROM THEiBLACK SEA. TAventy Russiaii ships have been captured by the allies since the bom bardment of Odessk. The announcement of the bombard ment of Sebastopoljproves to have been correct. The place Avas bombarded for four days by t|e combined fleet. The Turkish fleet had entered the Black sea, Avith the intention of destroy ing all the Russian possessions on the Circassian coast. The plan of cam paign is said to b< to invade Russia Proper. FROM TI E BALTIC On the 9th ult, Admiral Napier’s fleet Avas within U enty-five miles of Cronstadt. The re )ort circulated by the London Sun iat the place had been bombarded, is Ave anticipated, turned out a hoax. The Russian fleei ias left Helsingfors for the purpose of j lining the fleet at Kronstadt. Admii ilNapier, hoAvever, Avas laying with his ieet about twenty five miles from Kre istadt, in order to intercept them. DISTRESS AT SI PETERSBURG.

W POSITION OF AUSTRIA. 1 Austria’s position is decidedly lnl tile to Russia, and she has called ol 100,000 men to defend the front™ against the Russians. It is reported that the Veinua Cos ference avill be removed for the pu pose of forming a basis for an Austin and Anglo-French alliance. FROM WASH INGTON. The Black Warrior affair has bee settled —Spain apologizing arid remi; ting the fine of $6,000. The President has signed the Nc braska Bill, and put out a proclamatioi against the filibusters. A recess from some day in July til October is talked of in Congress. C Improvements in Brick-ma king— Wm. 11. Stiles’ Work It is generally knoAvn that the Hoir. \Ym. 11. Stiles, of this city, has for some time past been lately engaged in the manufacture of brick. Proprietor of extensive grounds from Avhich an in exhaustible supply of the best material could be obtained, dissatisfied Avith old machines and old processes, and being somewhat progressive in his nature, as all good democrats are, he has recent ly turned his attention to improve ments —not in democracy—but in the mechanical and practical business of brick-making. It is believed that they Avill have an important bearing upon the building up and beautifying of the city of Savannah. Mr. Stiles’ latest improvement is the introduction of a Dry-Clav Brick Ma chine, being the patent of Messrs. Mow er k Woodworth, of Boston. We had the pleasure of seeing it in operation on Saturday, and can testify to its com plete success. Specimens of the Avork can be seen on our Reading Room table by such as take an interest in bricks and brick-making. It will be observ ed that they are much heavier, more compact and in all respects superior to our common bricks. There were present, during the experiments on Saturday, nearly all the architects and master-builders of tho city, who unan imously concurred in the opinion that the bricks manufactured by this ma chine are the best that they have ever seen, possessing the beauty of Northern bricks, and combining greater firmness and durability, The mode of operation, in the Ayprds of the inventor, is as follows; The clay is ploughed, shaved or dug up to dry, on a surface sufficient to se cure a supply for the machine, When dried it is put under cover of a machine in quantity to insure a supply for a Aveek, so that the machine may run without interruption. The clay w to a powder, It then passes through
