' Ibis often .remarked by intelli gent European travelers who visit this country thar tho mass,of die people here are much better in-j jbr med upon, current events and; general knowledge, and therefor o.", competent to converse mote intel- j ; ligently than the great majority of people of any other country. Tliis j is attributed to the fact that in the United States the rich, und tne poor alike read the newspapers,' while in Europe the circulation'of these popular educators is almost exclusively con tied to the moro wealthy class of citizens ; and this is easily accounted for. In the United States, where the people rule, every citizen is a component part of the government; At every election each citizen is called upon toexerciso his judgment and ex press his will upon various, ques tions of public policy through the ballot box. For him to do this intelligently he must be informed upon the current history of the country^ and the only way ho can obtain this information is by read ing newspapers. In most European countries tho government is in the hands of an aristocracy, a dynasty or a king) and 1 the great mass of people have nothing to do but to obey tho mandates of their sov ereign. By reading newspapers we not only become iniormcd as to cur rent political matters, but we ob tain a vast fund of information upon all other known subjects, in cluding commerce, agriculture, mechanics, science, art, religion and literature- The newspaper, therefore, may bc regarded as tho great educator of thc nineteenth century, and he who fails to read some good journal fails to keep up with tho general intelligence of tho age. He is a drone in society, a tool in politics, and a blank in all that pertains to the general pro gress of tho community in which lie lives. When we spoak of education we involuntary think of schools and olten overlook thc fact that school education is tho mere foundation for that practical and u! i lit ai ian knowlcdgo which fits men for the various dulies of life. In this free renublic,\vhere every citizen is a sovereign, it becomes the duty, as ii should be the plea sure, of every man to read the newspapers and thus bo prepared to exercise the high duties of his citizenship. Notwithstanding all this there arc, wo regret to say. many persons in our land who do not subscribe tor nor read any newspaper. True, they aro in the minority, and we aro pleased to note that their number is diminish ing each day, and we hope the day is not far distant when every one will consider it a duty he owes to his family and to himself to sub scribo for and to read at least one good newspaper.-Edgefield Moni tor.

Tho oompany roar ed sguio, in whioh the Colonel was forced to join, und in thc midst of tho laughter, Allen leite tho table, saying to himself as bc wcut, "1 rooken tho Colonel won't ask me to impound any more oxen." Io a private lettor to Cen. W. W. Humphreys, Geo. M. W.

This is indeed g??d news for tho advocates of tho last named enterprise, uud will doubtless inspiro them with new hope. Tho completion of those re'id* will givo Anderson direct connection with both Charleston and Augusto, and will not only build up our town but will also rpen up and develop otic of tho finest sec tions of country io tho South.-Anderson Intelligencer. Rev. H. W.

It had been ground up in Dublin from the bone pu re I in? ed at Charleston or Bull River, and brougt back to be sold in thc United States. Thun it had crossed tho oooun twice. Capt.

MOVEAH AND JAMR8.-Mr, Jomos's ap pointment to tho postmaster-gcDoralship, although it may, if ooo pleases, bo called a concession to Mr. Cockling, is nevertheless io every respect admirable, lt puts at the head of a most important brauoh of the Administration the man of all men in the oouotry who bas given the highest proofs of fitness for it. His management of the Now York postofBoo has been literally the beginning of a now regime in tho American ttoatal service, Dot unlike that whioh How? and Hill introduced in the British p03t~ office, and has rendered inestimable service tO nosiness omi nodal Ufo, besides affording o porfeot pfr.ctieal illustration of what is meant by oivil service reform. Mr. Way no MoVosb, too, is not simply a good lawyer; he has shown himself nn excellent politician and has been long a prominent opponent of "tho maohine," both in bis own State nod in tho nation at large. No Cabinet in Which these two men have a place could, ovon if other members were worso than ?bey are, greatly disappoint reasonable expectations. [The Nation No NEED OF AN EXTRA SESSION.-Tho contested olection eases oan wait without any damage whatever. Wheo they are taken up they should bo considered calmly and thoroughly. No mao who waa Dot fairly and legally elcoted to a scat in the House should bo admitted. Whatever defcots in the election laws may bo brought to light should bo remedied, and whatever moans may be suggested for making them moro effective should bo applied in due time. For all this there in DO haste aod DO ocoasioD for an extra session. As for at tempting to renew tho seotionol fight as a meaos of raising political capital for the fall csptpnign, it would bo a desperately short? sighted thing to do. The country is tired of this everlasting contention of North aod South, and wants reposo and a ohaooe for ovonts and sentiments to develop in a healthier current, if tho contested elootion esses eau be left until next winter, there is reason to boliove that it will be all tho better for the oouotry aod for the Republi can party.-Neio York Times. Thc closing hours of the Indiana Leg. islature were onlivoued by ono of its mem bers, a Mr. Cabbage, who int oduoed a bill "for tho extermination of owls, hawks aod crows," whioh was koow as "The Great Oval Bill." In the dosing hours of the session on Saturday night the House invited Mr. Cabbage to address it OD tho subject of his bill, Ho acoepied the invitation aod p renee dei! to make his address, bot in a few moments, ns tho report says, was "com pletely snowed io' nuder a storm of pamphlets, boofes and filos.
