As the curtain ascended, revealing this tableau, there was a gnick hum of approval, and then as the first words of the hymn of liberty, become the war song of the impire, were heard there was a sud den hush, and every eye in the audi cuce glittered with excitement. A bugler sounding the advance started the chorus, and there was the powor of many voices in it. At the c,upletion of the stanza there was an overwhelming burst of applause. The Goddess of Liberty, in the last stan za, knelt with a tri-color and embrac od it, the whole audience rising; and when the silver thrill of the bugle sounded the solemn "march on," 1 thousande of voices took it up pas Rioiately, and the "liberty of death" was sung as if by a tewpest. This was repeated three times, the rapture of the multitude increasing with each repotition, women weeping as they sang. and the nen standing pale and tearful. ''hu the applause exceeded in fervor all that I had imagined poe sible to even French excitability. There was.a universal and unoontrol lable frenzy. And every night such scones are witnessed in nearly all the theatres and gardens of the city." ATTORNr-O- NRAL A [ERSANt op SOUT11E'N RtECONSTHTie,"1N.-'P h e Wnshington corrosp 2n.- ot. of the N. Y. Icrul( writes to tuat parr.r it' h.i Iows, under dato tr the 10th inst.: It is underatuod that Attorney General Aokerman will address the Southern Republicans row in this city on Friday or Saturday next, on the duty of the hour. lie will take a bold conservative view of the situa tion, not calculated to afford much comfort to a ceitain class of Southern Radicals, whose conduct has been guided more by selfih motives than the welfare of their country. Mr. Akerman holds that the South still badly nods Reconstruotion, but that it is the fault of the politioiua in that section, that they are not yet in the full possession of all their rights. The leaders in the South, or some of them who have mnun..ged to obtain controlling influence, have become lit. tle better than lobbyists and sacrificed the interests of the country to jobbing and corruption. In some States he believes the lowest class of political shysters have been chosen to legisla I tive and other important positions. All this ho believes must lie reformed if the Southorn people wish to be re instated wit': rull power, the same as the loyal States of the North. Mr. Aclkerman's views on this quostion and abo in relation to the Georgia mud dle are highly spoken of. The right of a Japanese noble to dlisemibowel himaajlf whenever his rank or his honor is impugned, has been choer fully exercised for centuries in that delightful country of pretty girls and pa'Aer mache. But recent ly the insidious progress of reform hrought the privilege of rudely dis turbing one's entrails to the notice of the national parliament, where an animated debate reveailed the utmost solieitation for har-kari, and supreme eQntemlpt for the integrity of the stomach. By its friend s, tire prae tice was upheld as dignified, as an or nament to the Elmpirc, a pillar of religion and a spur to virtue; by its opponents as unnecessary, unseru pu bos and uncomfortable. Finally, after Messrs. rAensaburo, Tomninaga, Shiume, Akaugishi, lliorb, Hliarayma, Shryemon, anu' other fluent and patri otic gmntlemeon of bluest Japanese blood, had delivered themselves, and foteibly pretested in favor of deliver their bo*els also, the vote was taken and only three declared for abolishing the custom, while two hundred were fovrniaintaiiiing it.

That distinguished scholar, Commo lore Maury, in his late reasarks be love the Virglnii 1Iucational Con rention, called attention to a fact that puts the duty and the importance of 1 education in a most striking light - It is, that as the world advances in science and with application of science to art, loss and less humAn muscle is required in the processna of produe tion, and the prots of. labor are in proportion to its intelligence. Uneducated muscle becomes less 1 and lIes needed in tho various pro oess of production, and gets no employment. Thus it is, though england produces many times more f everything conducive to com fort than formerly, one out of every twenty of its inhabitants are paupers supported by charity, and contribu ting nothing towards production by reason of their unskilifulness. This process will go on with the advance of civilisation, until the time wil come that unskilled, uneduoated labor will be equivalent to unemployed and un needed poverty strieken misery, and men will seek education as .tthey seek their daily bread, for the one will be absolutely and undissolebly cunneoted with the other.
