These kind exprcssions of solicitude for our welfare are ^ most highly appreciated, aud we hereby ac- j knowledge our gratitude to all who feel and a avow so warm an interest in our behalf. A- few davs noro. a frionH ivlincn wnl our success is only equaled by our appreciation of his kindness, handed us five dollars, I remarking?"This is indemnity for the loss pusillanimity lately imposed upon you." We replied, no inconvenience whatever had " resulted, as only one other gentleman had ' followed the illustrious example of the ^ great indignant; and besides we had no '* idea of being indemnified at his expense. 8 But it was,"no go"?ho urged, "You must P accept; the Press is worth that much any. liow."?

But we object to any effort to forestall the judgment of the Legislature. - We object to the Southern Rights Advocate, or any other pres-, undertaking to speak for "the gentlemen of the Bar and the people of the Wes:ern Circuit." Judge Whitner was Solictor some welve or fourteen years previous to the elec,ion of Mr. Reed, and we know no reason , ,vhy Anderson should always have the Solictor of the Western Circuit, especially as ler Bar, though excellent, is not in any particular, that we are aware of, superior to hat of other Districts of the Circuit, and is other gentlemen of the Circuit can be ouuu equal, at least, m every qualification, o Mr. Reed. We are of opinion that the >ffice of Solicitor is one in reference to vbich there should be rotation. At any ate, we can discover no cause of alarm for he interests of the Commonwealth in an iccasional change. The duties, we take it, ire not so very difficult, to discharge, as to equire great experience, and the office ?ught to he given to promising and rising oung men of the profession, as at once the titnulus and reward of professional exertion, nstead of being appropriated for a life time >y some well established lawyer upon the ; irinciple of "old fogyism."

Hollins. Some weeks since, tho following para;raph, aunouncing the determination of the )utch Government to reject the claim of Cl inCAV Pap f ! - 1 ....... _ .v.. iui injuries ai ged to have been sustained by him from aid Government, first appeared in the paers:? ' We have given to the American Govrnmentall the particulars relating to this natter, and have insisted 011 this axiom in lie law of nations?that when a foreigner n our territory violates our laws, his crime nay justify his punishment, but certainly lot his claim to indemnity." We have, from the first, regarded this Japt. Gidson claim as we are wont to re ;ard every thing that smells of humbug, ,nd it was our belief and hope that it would nd as speedily as it had sprung into being. )ur Government has abundant to do, if it nil employ itself wisely, without attempting o settle all the disputes between the restless dventurers of this country, who leave their r-ives and children, it may be, and go into he world to seek disputes, and other Govruments. If Uncle Sain undertakes to djust sdl similar difficulties for his prodi;al sons, we fear matters of far higher imort will go sadly neglected. x Let us advert briefly to the nature of this flair, and Bee if it is not one of those speclativc schemes which promise to become uite prevalent if the United Suites Governlent manifests a willingness to play the ands that ambitious and avaricious advenircrs may deal out to it. Believing, as inmated, the whole affair to be a humbug, re confess we have not been very astute in be investigation of its history, and have onf to present a general outline as memory ecalls the story of the principal himself. Uaptam W. M. Gibson is, we believe, a iativev of Anderson District in this State. U any rate, Jie resided there for a time, here Was married, and there buried his vife* Not a great while subsequent to this utter event, leaving his children in care of lis father-in-law, he set out to try his luck it adventure. . After trying various fields, le at length became proprietor of a small ehooner, styled The Flirt, and started up>n a sea-faring career. This was, we think, cveral years after he had left his home in Carolina, and we are not apprized tbat any me in this or any other StAte was acquainted with the incidents of the Captain's caeer, or even of his whereabouts, save those vho might have been in his immediate losality. His fame had not spread then as iow. But to proceed. He went on, until le came within the jurisdiction of the Dutch lynasty and subsequently within the Conines of^a Dutch prison! ,Of course the Dutch contend that the CS^Uin. violated* heir laws, and of couree the Cantain nrnfaata -rrr r hat Mynheer locked him up and seized his' ;raft without cause. TJ?e question is thereore one df Veracity between him and the [>Utch antbontfefc, We aio inclined to Wnk (albeit the Captain is one of our own joontryraen,) that .tile statements of the tween Captain Gibson and tho Dutch, as c i #? ? -i ? toi?ctu Bumigers, we luuiK me wnoie an air c cannot possibly result in anything more ii than a non-suit. The accused pleads justi- a fication for his conduct, and the accuser can- li not prove the contrary. So the Govern- S ment of the United States must choose be- a tween the respective statements of the par- t' ties. If it accepts that of the Captain,' and t the Dutch still persist in his dogged obsti- ? nncy, a chance may exist for another Grey- t town achievement. t We would not be misunderstood. No f< one can insist more strongly on the protcc- n tion by this Government of its citizens a- s broad than we do. And at the same time tl wis hold that when foreigners, frotn any b country, upon our soil, tramples upon our p laws, lie should bo promptly punished with- C out regard to the strength or weakness, ho?- e tilityor friendship of that power whose pro- I tection he may claim, lint we would al- e low other nations the same right to protect fi their citizens, and to punish ours when they tl deserve punishment. Let the truth be t known, before wo undertake to enforce a v reparation of injuries which may exist only t: in fiction. n We would inveigh in the strongest terms p against the idea ot our Government under- p vv viiiviku nav ucuuiiai.-) Ul MIUH ml U venturers, without having first satisfied itself a beyond all question of the entire justice of the ii claim. If it lends its ear to such stories ev- T ery time, and its strong arm to the will of e every one, Koszta affairs, Borland com- li plaints, Gakdinek frauds, and Gibson ro- g mances will be as plentiful as golden med- n als, gallant sea-captains or thousands iu the s treasury. v PllMJo flrhrtftla Tiie subject of popular education has long engaged the attention of every class of ^ minds, and is well worthy of a continuance j of such attention until t)ie glorious ends it p contemplates shall have been secured. Very | few have ever had the audacity, in a republican latitude, to question the propriety of general education?it is a conceded, a set- { tied point. Upon the virtue of a people is surely laid the corner-stone of a republican ^ fabric, and general education is the hist means of polish and strength that can possibly be used in the preparation of that cornerstone. We cannot believe that there is cither individual bliss or national safety in ig- f norancc.?There may be a kind of nniir.nl pleasure accompanying a state of brutal ig- ^ norance; but there is likewise a correspond- { ing degree,of animal pain. Ignorance con*ttracts disease, and renders efforts to heal only aggravative of pain. No true philanthropist, whose heart yearns to sec the attainment of the highest destiny by his fellow-man a? a ^ race of beings, can avoid being an advocate ^ of general education. Yet, as is often the case in reference to momentous subjects, it ^ has not yet elicited that amount of labor , ..... - wiucii us importance demands and its fall practic.nl development requires. In our own State, it is true, thousands are annually ex- ^ pended for the promotion of this great work of popular enlightenment, but, sad to tell, as yet but little mark is left of the progress , made. One hundred and seventy-five thousad dollars, it would seem, annually appro priatd, might educate, ami substantially, nearly if not quite all of the poor children in a South Carolina; but yet few, very few com- tl paratively, examples can be shown of any- o thing approaching a substantial education o from that source. There is nothing more t palpable than that money will educate. The c children of the wealthy are abundjmt nronf nf t. this fact. The money of the rich will educate the children of the rich. Then why in n it that the money of the Stato does not do ? more towards the education of the children a of the poor? Doubtless our reply will be c anticipated, and it be said, Because the mo- 8 ney of the State is not properly applied, c Motive power, however strong, must be ap- n plied ratiomdly, or it will fail to move other tl than its own weight. Money, the. motive w power to the march otaind, must.be applied t' in the right place and in the proper way? o else it will be naught but waste. o The present By stem of free schools is certain- o ly defective; and in this, the misapplication of c the means, consists one of its' greatest o defects. The remedy we acknowledge n to be difficult of discovery, and we w can hardly presume to claim 'the honor d of having surmounted that difficulty, We y therefore have *ao remedy to propose at tl present. But there is another cause which tl must be removed before popular educ&tion a |can advance as fast as it/should advanm! v. . TTT-:.?'"T and it is by far .the most formidable obata- * cle to its prbgress. We rndan the vfApi of ? a disposition on the partqf parents torrid their children to*achopl.v- U has been; said, b and with considerable trutb,that" where c Aere te a w!IUhetA ,faM,.'WV.w t "lined re^lv^ ^ . ^ r'v 1 rj toe-fourth of that class who mightfbrf the re ipients of the public bounty ; and tho reau! s, that, in very few neighborhoods, can sua oiiIi/xaI nd IVill f\otf a " f Annti ah ovhwi J n wiupvivub wcavu^i iving salary be made and kept up^ It itate will only pay at a certain fate for 1$ ctrial number of scholars who attend, am lie days they are present; and' as this apr hy exists on the part of parent?, the publi chool is almost always a killing business t he teacher. The result is, few .competeu eachers will remain in the field. If, there :>re, wo could once arouse the grown u nasses to a full sense of the weight of r< ponsibility resting upon them in regard t he education of the young, the work woul ie half-finished already, and its early coir iletion would be an inevitable consequent /ould wo but get one generation of all clasi s well taught in the schools of commo English, it would need no Herculean effort very year to keep the car moving onwar rom age to age. Having tasted and see lint education was good, the father and mc her could not rest until^sons and daughter fere made partakers of the same great inef imable blessing. The work then must com nence at the stump. Means to educate tli ioor must not only be provided, but th ioor must be induced to accept the benefit ft'ered them. It is a want of educatio lone on the part of parents that causes th ndisposition to send their children toschoo ''or no one need bo too nroud to accent a i ? r ducation at the hands of charity, bccaus le may in due time, if he receive the git ratofully, and improve it as he shouk tioro than ten fold repay the State in incre* cd service to her interests by having the at antage of such gift.
