HOW TO EDUCATE. Some one has beautifully said that Education is not the putting a sharp weapon into a man's hand, but training him to employ for good purposes whatever weapon may come in hU way. Let the schoolmaster, when lie is abroa^ step into the menagerie, and borrow thence the leading principle* . of his art. We know better bow to educate a lion than a man. Education is to train a child out of bad habits into good, and reading or writing are useful or hurtful just as they aid, or hinder, the accomplishment of this end. ? BUSINESS YOUNG MEN. It is a lamentable, but no lew remarkable fact, that wc have too few n number of the above character in our country. It seems to us a great and mistaken error in our southern j?eople that they must educate their sons exclusively for the learned professions. This mistaken idea has been the means of retarding in a greater measure our progress, as a people and nation, than any cause of which we are, at present, aware. The question is too often asked of the father what profession lie ex]>ects his son to nssnmo, and as often hear that 110tiling short of the bench or profession of medicine is his aspiration. Every society seems to ix? impregnated to a greater or le?* extent with the absurd idea that laiior is dkoaat)ixo. Kven our blnck population is imbued with the belief that no one making pretensions to gentility or fashionable life will perform much physical labor.? Here, oiul from other sources of as little consequence, no doubt arises the cause of | J. ll*.. ?I nw HrjftSrstocked?literally crowded, and running over with young men, aspiring for the somewhat M equivocal honors " which those professions in a large measure provide. It is we verily believe, a false jtriJe which prompts them to sacrifice, it may be, comforts enjoyments and happiness which might l?c obtained by persevering labor and toil. Tis true, this is n fast age ? and one may be in the possession of a large practice?a handsome competency almost ere he is aware; but then, we know, the majority will have to content themselves for a long while with little or nothing to do. It is these hopes of distinction arul emoluments, together with this false pride, which have allured many to penury and indigence. The pulpit, alas, from similar causes, nas likewise suffered ? deterring educated youths ? vonng men of talont from entering into its sacred duties, thereby becoming " bright and shining lights." "NVc often notice in our exchanges advertisements headed similar to these : "Business men wanted," "Young men of tact and ability can find employment," " A smart and steady lad needed," Ac., Ac. But seldom, if | ever, hear or read of politicians or lawyers being in denuuid, or doctor* not to be found in any community. Wo would not wish to be understood as saying or believing that tbo professions o^Juw and medicine are not honorable?or to be dispensed with. No such tiling. But we too often sec young men, in order to satisfy "a parent's whimsical notion, and who might otherwise become rieh and influential, actually giving their lives away in the study and pursuit of a pro fcssion for which every one admits they have flnpncity. Our people should awake to coti'1 ? d,e ev'* consequences of such a t insurt titgloet <<f tliut which vsoulu 7 some pi*. greatw prosperity. We know with thelt'wko have become disgusted r children to e^ucat'ug any more of their J sional men," afcat the wor,d " Pr?fr*" tbey may obftuh^ n?W P,acingthe? wli^re I importance to us of wwrk' its "We begin now'?*>pk ??d nation, parts of the Union in ,, .airul IB COIIBIU" ercu respectable and hoagaj^ ^flVe ^Vanccd far beyond us in wealth, vaintelligence, and to feel the necessity of itti :JjL nomcthing of the same spirit into out )Wn p0(> pie, in order to recover, if possible* vaB_ tage ground we have abandoned. Vv \ It would bo unnecessary to enquiK. mto, the causes of this error among the soutH^n people. One obvious cause is the influence of negroes upon our childhood. Theoretically they are the moet aristocratic class we hare, and bold it as ah incontrovertible maxim thai hard fltorlr ia not a part of a gentleman's business. They lose no opportwniCjf ot impressing* this notion upon the tender minds of the youftg^jpriio are brought up in contact with thum, ajud in after life it is apt to be maintained h>y the sebtPwyoet of feeding race. But there are o^er mflHeiiceat, tending to the eathe result, which ii is uuimportaut that wo should conaj^b. We wish rather to point the attention ?four readers to the &et itself, and to urge upon them the necessity of modifying in this respect the education of our youth: "fids highly desirable to remove the falso impression to somajextent, and to convince theittl that a great error has been committed by confounding the Activity of business #ith the , drudgery of muscular lalior. Wo would not hftve our Educated and refined young gentlemen to adopt the spirit of French socialism, and Illustrate the dignity, of labor by actual participation in tlie fatigues of the field or the work shop *, but wf^Svould open before them the vast field of oomuiercial, manufoeturing, and mechanical enterprise, ami urge them to consider that these pursuits can be elevated to their own level by a hearty dedication of their talents and acquirements to the great object they involve. Why is it that we luivo so few of our citizens, comparatively, engaged in executing and propelling i the various enterprises of improvement and v development now in 'progress around us? We have the mind to conceive and project, hut the information and tact necessary to the projier execution of such things must generally be imported from distant States, . ami in spite of our pride we are compelled I constantly to confess that wo do not know ! anything almut such matters. It is jiist such knowledge that constitutes power, and when wc admit our ignorance, we also con1 fess onr weakness. Many suppose that cap j ital alouc is wuntrhg, but it must be obvious, on reflection, that we want still moro a general acquaintance among our educated chases with the details of hubiuess and the practical sciences. We beg leave to urgo our young men ol talents and education to consider the superior dignity of those employments which arc contributing most effectually to the progress of society. It is not the professions of law, medicine, or politics, tliat are doing most to elevate our country and civilize mankind.? Religion, education, commerce, and the mechanic art are doing inlU||j| U for to tin j,nl* I tlie y?"ng ^mium. iHViting theatres of enterprise and usefulness. We must get rid of the old negro notion that every high-minded young man must be a lawyer, a doctor, or a military man, and sec that more of our youth are educated in future with reference to those departments of business which a false pride ha> left so long neglected. We have lie;vrd a trreat outrrv nf 7^' - ~ , against the study of the classics, but the i classics do not deserve the abuse p?ey have ' received. In the literary department of ed' oration they are too little cultivated, and CAimotbe excluded from literary instituionn without causing a forfeiture of the title.? 1 Hut by all means let those whom nature or | circumstances have qualified for business j pursuits, be so educated as lrest to prepare them for such avocations, and let tlicin no ! longer covert literary honors, or waste the i precious years of early life iu fruitless dalliance with the Muses." | hope that the fuir nuthor of the following versos will excuse the liberty we have taken in publishing theiu.

April 10th, says:? f' We sailed from Callao for tl?e Chincha 11 Islands, March 2-fth. Thcro-we found one a hdbdred and sixteen sails and barks loading fi : with guano. Of this number eighty were e Ameriean ; and tho St. Mary's is the first U. s States man-of-war that has visited these Is- v lands. Scverel complaints had bceu made j' at Callao of the insolence utul abuse with which American ship masters at the Chin- ? eha Islands were treated, and when we ar- e rived there we found that thyj-imijil:"*-ta had ? liad btHUiveiwjyuvljueitaggorAtud, so much u among all tho American ves- '* | sols Jyiug yhero, our Captain could not get * OllC Written COmidivini nf ilia iiwnll u,!lli u'Klnli v American ship master* were said to he trea- * , ted, whenever they lauded on. the Islands.--? s I One merchant Capt from Huston, made a ? | complaint of have Wen assaulted by two nn- I1 : lives, on one of the Islands, and of Wing un- c , able to obtain the punishment of the otfen- 1 i den at the hands of the Governor. Our com- 8 ' mandor wrote a very spirited letter to the . j Governor, demanding the punishment of the J1 ' offenders, uud received as an answer, that the ^ j Gdvemient of Foru, did uot allow its local !' municipal authorities to interfere in questions of dispute between natives and foreigners,, '' and that the case must l>e referred to the Minister of Foreign delations of Lima. Hut as 8 he, at the same time, assured the captain that 1 the two menjiad been whipped severely, the 8 affair was dropped. Although tho shinning is- so numerous here,(andIt was said there wore fewer vessels 4 there nt our Arrival than had l>een at any * time during the past three months,) the j Chinchais not a port of entry, and vessels, 1 after loading, have to go away up to Cnlloa 1 to clear. 1 This U muning directly to leeward, as the S. E. trades blow here from ono year's end { to another, and this makes them lose a week e or ten days, whieh is very precious in the j oyes of merchantmen. They are obliged to [ go to Callno, liefbrc loading to got their char- r ter party. Each vessel has so many 'May t days," that is, she is obliged to lay ten days j for every hunderd tons burthen that she is, . and for every day over this time that she is ] detained ut the ('hinchas, she is paid $700 H "demurrage." This is because they can by ? ' ho nu'iiiih iohu vessels as last as tney are ready ? to receive it. llut instead of giving a just c proportion of guano to each vessel, the agents H accept pay froiu ship masters to load their ] ships and let thein otf quickly. This they i can legally do, as no vessel can comphiin if i she is not detained beyond her "lay days," The present Revolution in Peru began from trouble, with the Governor of the Chinchas. f A monstrous game of cheating is carried on t hy the Government in the guano trade. The t I President and Cabinet pocket the spoils. 1 When the jroaent President came into office, t ! he nuahle to get c.cjit, for t suit of * j clothes in Lima?that was in 1851; now j r 1 he is said to be worth 30,000 of dollars! This i c seems incredible, but the Government agent, * in commute! oftbe Middle Island told me 4 that from his Maud alone, during the last t year, three htmdred and forty thousand tons f of guano had been shipped, whereas the Government in their official reports from the 9 treasury, state that only sixty-four thousand t tons were shipped from l?oth Islands. One can imagine what guano must bo worth, when the Peruvian Government pay* Amer- ' icau ?hi]*? $18 and $20 pot ton fbr freight! i t TIaud Times ix California.?ftoinoof H the Californians that arrived in the North ( Star and Illinois at New York, it is said, } givo.j0ither a diatxm raging pi dui#ejf tilings ^ r there, so fpr oh budn*w prospects and gem-r- f al trade are cgncerniBd.* ?very tiling tliey \ say lias been .''pjr^fdoiiomechanics cannot , liud aoytliin^lb do; provisions aro iteurco and dear j and UionsaiidH vdio went ont expecting to get rich in the course of a few r months, nre to be found without a cent in 1 their pockew, and wUhiWgtJiey could bo per- ? h: it tod to work their ]?mw?ge home. 1 I f ; 7 Vw~ A letter from the editor of the Salt Lake " says ; ? the 6th of February, the man on the .1 >okout at Farowan. rejiorted a company, J uppoecd to be Indiana, coming into the aonli rid of the volley, twenty miles distant from t 'arowiui, and about eleven o'jloek on the loming of tlie 7th, Col.

In the midst if the progress which economical science has nadc within the last jjaif ecutury, the iaw on intents 1ms remained completely stationary, fhcre still remains the influence of a prejuliec Which tends to consider the patent ns a rivilege, a monopoly, a favour, a recompense, r an eneourngemeut, which nt is necessary o grant as little as possible for the general nterest of industry.
