WEDNESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 13, 1871. No. 37. acess-de Letter o n t h e Subject o f Schools. To the Editor of the Dail Union: Sma:-Your comment upon the omission of any allusion to the 60-uth Carolina University in my article on the neglected duty of educttilig the orpliains of the war. has attracted my attention. It would be impossible, in my judg ment, for the Survivors' Associa tion, if it adtipts the plan I have sugrsted, to give a Univer-'ity edulcation to more than three or four of the boys who may rise, through the local district schools, to the head of the thirty.two edl Ceated at. some central State sehool, such as Colonel Coward's., and I suggested the Virginia Uni versity, because there they will be able still further to distinguish themselves and honor the Survi vors' Association, by bearing off the pahn fiom over five hundred of' our Southern youth. At the South Carelina University, they might get an education, but would scarce ly have the same spur to ambition, or the same opportunity for dis tinction. Permit me to call your attention to the article I have sent you on -Graded High Schools in every town." I have devoted my who(e life to the work of education, and believe I know somewhat of its condition at present in South Car olina, and can speak with author iv upon the best method of pro m~oting it. Make the public schools at- the County seats splendid schools. Pay first-class teachers well to do so. Give a power of special taxation to the county towns fur the purpose, and en courage them to use the power by pleiging thrte dollars from the State Treasis'y for every two dol larb i-aised bY the county town. Give d free cholarship in the LniveII ity te competition to each one of the county high schools I suggest, ind I believe that iu a few years the standard of educa tion will 1ave risen considerably throu'ghouit the State, and the State University will once more begin to flurish as in former Vears. It %,-'ould please me to liv the attention of Republicans directed to tWis subject through your culumins, and I request the repubiicatin of the article I send yol, and if you deem it worth in serting, you can' publish this let ter L1so. Respectfully yours, BENJ. R STUART, ELitor of the Winsboro -News. GUADED HIGH SCHOOLS IN VERY TowS: We have again and tfgain pro tested against the futile .ttempt Vith ,ucth limited means, for twen tv years to come at least, to' estab 1is' .al ly good schools at &verv accessible point, and express~ed our convictiozt that the work of' pub lie education should begin in the coounty towns, and there only, and thence should the light irradiate into the surrounding country. The county towns should be called upon "to raise, by special tax upon their corporations, at least two fifths of the money necessary to cr'eet t wo good school houses and pay fair salaries to the teachers, and the State shouild pay out of' its treasury the other three-fifths of the money required. A special act of the Legislature is needed .on this subject. The advantages of' town-schools free to all, are, in part, set f'orth in the following ex tract from the August nzumber of' the Virginia Eiucatiounl Journal, page 391: Our Divine Lord required that the publication of his Gospel should begin at Jerusalemn. Why so ? Because it was the great cen trec of influence. A city set upon a hill cannot be hid, And so it is to some extent with all cities and towns, be they on hills or in val leys. They are co.aspicuous and influential. Every body sees or hears what is done in town. Hence, a good school at the cour-t house helps all the schools of the country ; and a mean school at the Court hotuse is either despised by -ieverybody, or it pr1opagates its meatnness all over the county. Set up a model school at the coun ty seat, an'd all the schools will be regulated by it, as the time pieces are by the town clock. It is admitted that this is not alwadys easy to be done, for towvn still it can be done ! Now, why are we sopoiietaitcnb done ? Chiefly because there is money in it, and townDs-people are keen about money-as they ought to be. Then keep them looking at it, and they will gradultally see that if they want to educate their children, this is the cheapest way to do it ; f they want a decent, orderly community, without hav ing to keep up an expensivo police, this is the wvay to hmave it.; if they want their laboring population honest and thrifty, tlas is the way~ to have them so; if they want * peop)le to come and buy lots, bui!d Loie;and set capital afloa:, this ;s the surest way to get them all ! The towns-people may be slow in seeig all this, but the more they are nadie to think about it, the sooner they will mce it ; and it they should be very slow in see ing the point, their vision will be brightened by another sight. They will sc rival towns, which have good schools. getting ahead of them in population and wealth -and by this time they will wish they Iad been a little quicker ii thir movements. This ha all haj) pened over ILl over, aid he tihat W.Ltebes the progreSs of events w Ill see it 1l! happtn in irgiii .. Then as to practical pr-aeeding. let tle mliler'intendent an1d trus. toes go squarehy before the town and council and ask them for what is iceded to have schools which will be a credit tothe town, and which will ofler much advan tages that there will be no need fbr any other schools. Brutal Murder of a Boy. On Saturday of last week, while at school near Gainsville, 1issis sippi. two boys, aged 14 and 16 Years, sons of clharles Reyre and Thomas Bradford, engaged in a friendly boxing match, in which young Re3 rC was worsted, whero. upon his elder brother, ed 16 yearsA,p)roposed to take his lilaec as contestant. The second battle had not progressed very fiar before both boys becam excited, and fought in downright earnest, the result being the def'eat of' Reyre. Maddened by his beating he went imm1ediately h1ome, and in t*ormli:ig his father of the event. was accompIn)anied by him to the school, which entering. old Reyre instantiLv attacked the boy Brad ford hy~severely bi-ating and kick Ig him. The teacher of the school being an aged man, and able to do nothing to prevent the onslaught, Bradford's older broth er (a eripple), aged 18, approache,l Revre, saying, "you hadn't ought to beat and kick my brother in that savage man-ner; it' he has done anything wrong get a switch and chastise him'." No sooner haI ho said this than Reyre pulled out a knitC, and drawing it across the boy's abdomen, inflicted a fear ful gash, from wlhieh the bowels protuiided. As soon as he was cut the crip p!ed boy started flr a neighboI's house, about fifty yards distant. closely pursued by leyre who Ilunged at him with his knife as lie Ira. Tlie vounlme of the Brad f'ords immnediate!v pulled out a knife to attack Rey-re, whq Rey're's soi caught himli, and the boys soon engaged in a struggle, in which, being worsted, young Reyre yelled lustily. whereupon his father, desisting from1 pursuit I of' thoy he li had caught, turned Iupon his son's assailant, and grasping a heavy knotted stick beat Br'adford over the head so tnmercifully that lie soon fell senseless to the& ground, large pieces of scalp having been cut away by the knotted weapon. After leaving the boy for dead lie agrain~ started in chase of the cr'ip p)le, and finding him standinzg in side of the neighbor's yard hold ing his bow'els in his hand, said te him. "I have tixed y'ou ; you may teil your father', and if' he isn't satisfied Il fix him in the same way." The mnurder'er' then es' caped, and is supposed to be still lurking in the swamps in the neighborhood. The boy who was cut lingered until Sunday, when he died. His brother is in a crit ical condition, and it is thought wvill not recover. The Glovernoi of' the State has been notified ol this terrible crimne, and w;ill offer a reward for the perpetrator'. A BILLE As IS A BELLE-In conclusion. let mc giv'e you ano ther incident of the life of a Lon~ Bi'anch belle. I was strolling througrh the bar'-r'oom of' the (Con' tinental IIotel last evening, when a horse galloped up to the dooi and a young lady' Sprang from the saddle unaided. She u as diressed in full riding habit, and when her groom came up, she gave him di. roetions as to what farie the horse should get, for all the world .ke a turf master who had been br'ought up among horses all his life time. The gr'oom had no sooner gone than she deliberately walked up to the bar. in eomupany with a gen tleman, who met her at the door, and calk'd for a glass of bottled ae, and, what is mnore, she stood at the. counter until she had drain ed the last dro~p out. and until the gentleman, whoi didn't di'in k, had pa id for it.

The CL tol Suppiy Association wasorLa ized in 1867, fir the specific pi )ose Vi opening upl andUl develO ing, other so urces ot cotton sipp th ani the Southern States of Aml)L ea; but up to the time of our CiN war its operations were limited extent and comparatively barr in result, The IressuIr of t cotton Iamine in 18G1 lent ne viorO to its und,rtakings, and I dia became the theatre of Clab rate experimen8t. The result-, these experiments during a per; ot ten years are now givenl for t1 first time in a connected oifli form. In ISGO the sum paid to Ind for cotton was $17,500,000 ; but 1S64 it had increased to 8190,00( 0U0, and the averae annual mount remitted from England f< cotton during the past eight yea is staled It 8115,000,000-showit an ag increase in the val of th I ndian cotton trade, durir this period, of about Q750,100,00 This astonishing growth has be followed by a corresponding d velopment of the cotton-producit distriets of Turkey, Egypt ni Australia. Since 18G2 the pi cilinence of Egypt has been a n table fact in the history of cott< eulItuire. Mr. Watts writes th inl that year -cotton began be so much in favor that cet als were almost negvlected, and ti enormoius profits derived from i cultivation during the Amerie; warI led to the aballdoliment the ordinary eucc-esion of crops a result which the late Ticero Said Pacha, behelud with appi hension and alarm."

A correspondent of the Cincin t nati Coinmerciai writes from New - castle, Kentucky: I write lbis t letter in the house of an old lady - who is a niece of that Rebec!a Bryan, who became the wifte of Daniel Boone, a n d concerningi whose eyes (the young hunte- is said to have mistaken them for i those of a deer,) the pretty back I woods romance is told. The lady i-3 herself also a widow of one of Daniel Boone's own nephews, her - second husband, who assited in bringing the great hunter back to I Kentucky. She was born in one of the chief old pioneer stations, (her grand-fatber's,) near Lexing ton, and, although she is in her eighty-first year, she is active in body, busying her-self with her flowers and garden, clear-sighted I and alert in spirit, Recently sl! - heard that one of her middle-aged son1s, absent over twenty years in California, and presumed dead for L more than half that time, was yet 1 alive, and her joy was great. 1Ie, too, had supposed his mother to be long (lead. The old lady has a romance con nected with her second niarriage. I It is as follows: When her mother was a young lady, Colonel William Boone, the nephew of Daniel men tioned above, was very m11uch in love with her, and asked her on one occasion to marry him. She told him she was engaged to Mor gan Bryan, and that they were to 3 be married in a few days. Colo I nel Boone went away and mar I ried another young woman. Af- I - terward he, with his wife, visited the young couple when their first 1 child (now in her fifth score of years) wras but a few day- old, and seeing the baby, Le hiughed and i Sai0 to her mother: --Now, 3Milly, as you wouldn't have mie yourself, I you'll give me the girl for my see ond wife, won't you?" Whethei I any jesting promise was made I t am not infirmied ; but the baby . grew up, and at twenty-seven she - was married, had seven children, becamc a widow after nine years, and remained one fJr a long time, I when, Colonel Boone's first wife having (lied some years previous t ly, she really became, in her own - middle life, the wife of her mo ther's early lover, who had claimed her in her ci-radle. The good old lady is accustomed, in relating this to her sons and nieces, to r speak of it as "one of the most re niarkable things that ever happen s ed." I thinl- so, too ; and it is a ti-rc e tc'ry. >4apanese. t DaiT h etideicc accummu - lates that not only are the Japan ese a people intelligent beyond all other nations of the East, but that -a settled pur-poso pr-evails in Ja I pan to cater into the ranks of the I civilized peoples.

One of the sweetest, prettiest incidlents of our watering-place life is enacted dafly at the Claren (on. While the thoughtless wa terinr-p!ace throng sways in and Out of the great dining-room, and the endless elatter of teniues ad cutlery seem to drown every holy thought, a venerable silver-haired old gentleman walks slowly in at the head of his Christian family, and takes his teat at the table. Instantly the laughing faces of t table full ot diners assume a reve rential look. The knives and forks rest silently on the table, and thc .1.autiful silver frosted Christian, with clasped hands, iodestlv murmurs a prayer of thanks-a sweet bieedict4on to God I The scene lasts but a mo ment, but all day long that hal lowed prayer of the Christ-child seems to float i; the air, guiding, protectitg, and e rating the thoughtless a ri my of wayward souls. I could not find out who this brave old Christian was ; but last night. his name cAme all at once. A lovely woman, ivith heri beatifiul childrei, arose early firon her seat at the Conigress Hall hop. to Ietilrnl to the Clarendon. "Why do you go so early, Mrs. Clark ?" asked a fashionable lady friend. "Oh,. you will laugh at me if I tell you-now really, my dear, won't you ?" "No. unless vou make me, re plied her friend. And then she leaned forward and whigpered: "Well, my dear. you know I stop at the Clarendon. My room is next to that dear. good old mali's, and he does pray so beanti fully every night that I kneel doWn by his door with the childi en to hear him, and then I go to bed so happy, for I know nothing can happen to us when we.are so icar him !" Wiping the tear from her eye, the friend said, "Let Ine go with you!" and iight in the middle of' the lanciers theso, warm-souled women, with their children, walk ed to the Ciarendon to sit in the next room arid hear the evening flamily prayer of good old Richard SuNdam. of west 39th street.

These re 5traints have all been put in force ander the influence of the theory that there is such athing as sexual passion. which powerfully influ Mnees the conduct both of men and women, but particuiarly of men, and which, therefore, in the interest of purity, imposes on One sex a certain guardedness of man aer when in the presence of the )ther sex, whether in the pa-lo1, workshol, or street. One of the beautiful discove:ies (t the new school of social philosophers is, however, as we have repeatedly pointed out, that there is no such thing as a natural sexual passion ; that the feeling which passes by that name is simply a bad habit, ionewhat like smoking aud drink ing, which inon can drop if they [ease, and which, for the con venienec of women, they ought to .Jrop, to a- to cnable the two sexes to stand towards each other on an 3xactly equal fboting, and without :ther dangers than such as result rrom quarrelsomeness and cupid itv. Women could then stare at Inybody they pleased in the street, as they have a natural right to do. and go about with men just As if hey were men. Tho working o)f the new doctrine into practice is, of course, attended with incon. venience ; but it is making its wia. Before lon, man wiff gaze at woman with the same emotions with which he gazes'at a land scape or a field of wheat ; while woman will look on man as she looks on a grain elevator or a locomotive.- The Nation. A Beautiful Incident. Thc f1c'Nwno beautiful etary ib worthy to' be faid uig N thd enyo rv of every one : A poor Arab traveling in the desert met with a spring of clear, sweet, sparkling water. Used is lie was only to brackish wvells, such water as this appearred to his sim pIe unnd worthy ot a monarch, and filling his leat hern bottle from the sprmng, he determined to go and present it to tIhe ea4ph him self. The. poor man tra'veled a long wvay before lie reached the pres enee of his sovereign and laid his htumble offering at his feet. The caliph did not despise the little gift, brought to him with so much trouble. .lie ordered some of the water to he poured into a cup, drank it, and thanking the Arab with a smile, ordered him to be presented with a reward. The courtiers around pressed forward, eager to taste the wonderful wa. ter ; but to the sur-p.se of all, the caliph forbade themn to touch a single drop. After the poor Arab had geitted the r-oyal presence with a light and joyful heart, the caliph turned to his cou rtiere and t.hus explained his conduct :"TJurinig the travels of the Atr ab," said he, "the water in his Ieathern bottie became im pure and distasteful. But it wvas an offering of love and as such I have received it with pleasure. But I well knew that had I sutfered anotl.or to partake of it, he would riot have concealed his disgust; and therefore 1 forbade you to touen] the draught, lest the heart of the poo man sho-ul-d havc been wounded." The act of this caliph was worthy of a Christian gentleman, Read the story over again, thinl; about it, and try to remember it when some one, simplernminded than yon are, exposes his igno ronce while to do you a service. If you laugh and make sport as the courtiers would have done, you yourself to be neither a gentleman nor a christian. The truly great are kind to the humblest. It is the mean man who treats the low. ly with con tempt.
