A student of Yale College was indefinitely sus- I pended last week for breaking gas-pipes. So many people arv ont of employment in New York that recruiting officers axe doing a good business. A man in Cincinnati', while cleaning his cellar of dirt that had accumulated for years past, found a leather purse containing seventy-six dollars in : gold. The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania has just de? cided that the shares in National Banks are sub? ject to State taxation in the hands of tho share ! holder?. A gold mine is said to have been discovered on the farm of JOHN WILSON, in Marion County, Ken? tucky. Lots twenty feet square are held at $20,000 each. Since the enforcement of the Sunday law in New York, some dealers put np the sign in their shops, on Saturday : "Load your pist?te for Sunday." A girl who had been supported by public chari? ties died in Cincinnati on the 13th, and in her room was found the sum of $6000, of which $1500 was ingold. . The recent freshet made a gully in a sandy road ? in East Bridgewater, Connecticut, three hundred feet-long, forty feet wido and from tentoseven *Hr.

The Princess of Wales has her third baby, a daughter, born on Wednesday, the 20th. Shebas been married not four years, and has three chil - dr en, which te doing as well as could be expected of any princess. The Jesuits who fled from Borne on the with? drawal of the french troops, and returned to Austria, are being received very coldly, and in some oases with decided opposition by the Catho? lics. The area of the valley of the Mississippi te 1,200, 000 square miles, while that of the Amazon te more than 2,500,000 square miles, and is equal to the whole area of the United States, except the States of California and Oregon, and Washington Territory. An old hotel keeper in Washington once posted on bte dining room door the fellowing notice : "Members of Congress will go the table first, and then the gentlemen. Rowdies and blackguards must not mix with Congressmen, as it is hard to tell ?as from 'tether." The London Unitarian Berala" publishes statis? tics ol the Sunday Schools of that denomination, from which it appears that the Unitarians have about one-hundred and seventy-one such schools in England and Wales, and twenty-one thousand and thirty scholars on the books. The San Antonio Ledger says that fine fat chick? ens are Belling at three dollars a dozen, and tur? keys at nine dollars a dozen ; venison hams, six dollars a dozen ; sweet potatoes at seventy-five cents to one dollar a bushel ; pork, four and five dollars a hundred, and beef of splendid quality at five cents a pound. The Denver News says that there is a curious rumor from the mountains, by a gentleman just down, that a remarkable pocket or cavity has been found in one of the mines near Gregory Point, thc walls of which are absolutely lined or plated wi tl gold. Its informant bad seen a email specimei from it which was valued at $200. _fWNaw, york TWZmaf ??"?.. '?V?ai fion plan of Congress will astonish the country the South even more than the North. We accept it as proof that the calmer thought of the South? ern people begins to appreciate the fact that there te but one way to reunion-acquiescence in thc law." The authorities of the town of St. Albans, Ver? mont, recently made a raid upon all the liquors tc be*'found in the village, arrested the venders, in? cluding the hotel-keepers. As an offset, the land? lords have pulled down their signs. That lovel; and important town te, therefore, at present with? out any public accommodation for man or beast. On the Ogdensburgh frontier, RICHARD KANE was detected, on Tuesday, in the ant of smuggling liquor from Canada. One of the beams in his sleigh rack was bored about seven feet with a two inch augur, and;.contained about three gallons of whiskey. It was so constructed as to deceive the most prying eyes, and was only discovered by the merest accident. While a theatrical company were singing the "Star Spangled Banner" upon the stage of the Portland (Me.) theatre on the evening of Washing? ton's Birthday; a fellow in the gallery commenced to btes, which caused the greatest indignation among the audience. He was hustled from the - house, Down East fashion, and compelled to give three cheers for the flag. The Chicago Post says : "Several medical stu? dents were arrested on the 18th inst, for carrying their scientific ardor to an uncivilized pitch. On their premises were found a barrel containing hu? man legs, arms, hands, hearts and entrails, parti? ally decayed, and emitting a hideous a teach. On a table was a lifeless body minus one leg, and else? where five or. six other corpses were found await? ing dissection." "Data," of the Baltimore Sun, states that it is rumored that the President will nominate to the Senate a negro for some important office. The ru? mor grows ont of the fact that a petition has teen presented to the President asking him to appoint fred. Douglass Commissioner of the Freedmen's Bureau. The President is reported as haying said tiafc it -would be a good opportunity to test the sin? cerity of Radical affection for the. negro bysub probaUy it will be done. ' The Richmond Tones kays: "Judge THOMAS re? cently rendered a very lengthy decision in the case of HUNTER ns. BENNETT, FOWLS and SNOWDEN VS. MABTTX, and others of a similax nature, declaring the titles to the property purchased at the United States tax sales invalid, principally upon the ground that .the Commissioners were not empow? ered to sell more than sufficient to pay the taxes, penalties and costs. We learn that these cases will be carried to the Supreme Court of the United States."'';'! The chief spring election contest te this, year to be fought in Connecticut, on the first Monday in ApriL Both parties have selected their candidates, v the Governor on the Republican ticket being Gem HAWXSZ, and on the Democratic ticket JAKES EJ EHGLISH. Last year, after a most anim?t 3d con? test, in which both parties brought out their full strength, .Gen. HAWLEY was elected Governor by Ml majority, ina total vote of86,974. This year the Republican platform endorsos colored suffrage and supports the . course pf the majority in Con? gress, whilst the Democratic platform opposes the congressional majority and supports the Presi? dent. The"-Russian Government has made another step in advance. It bas partially thrown open to the Jews two important towns formerly closed against .Abfirn Jewish merchants of the.second and third guild may now settle at Sebastopol and Nikolaieff, trade there, and evan acquire real estate.- A still greater boon to the Jews, and one which has also apolitical, mgnificance, is the offer made by the Russian Government to tho, Jews of Bokhara and other central Asisti? countries, to take them lin? dar its protection. The offer,'it te said, has been eagerly accepted by thom, ea they were fearfully oppressed by tho Mohammedan rulers and popula? tion of those countries. 'J; ~ The Houma (La.)

FRIDAY MORNING, MARCH 1, 1867. DEATll OF J. D. B. DcBOW. Our citizohs -will bo grieved to see tho announce? ment, by telegraph, of tho death of the abovo named distinguished Charlestonian. Mr. DEBOW was born in this city about the year 1819; received hi8 elementary education chiefly at some of the free schools of that day, and was for some time a clerk in the wholesalo grocer}' house of Messrs. E. & J. B. DELANO, well known at that day. By his own indus? try and the assistance of Borne relatives ho was enabled to enter the Ookosbury Institute, in Ab? beville District, S. C., whore he prepared for col? lege. Ho then returned to this city, and ontcrod the College of Charleston, where he graduated in the same class with the Hon. WM. POBCHER MILES and the Hon. W. H. TRESCOT. The next few years he spent in the study and practice of the law in this city ; but being more in? clined to literary pursuits-and especially every? thing connected with statistic and economic sci? ence_ho soon relinquished tho bar and com? menced the publication of the Review, which has been identified with Iiis name from that period to tho close of his life. In 1849 ho was appointed Superintendent of tho Census Bjn^auj-gr^^ wo have ever had in this country. As editor of the Review be was ono of^the best known, as he certainly was one of tho best inform? ed, of cotemporary public writers in America. He has been cut down in his prime ; at a time, too, whon the country and State ho loved needed his, wisdom and experience. In privato life be en? joyed the friendship and esteem of all with whom he came in contact, and tho announcement of his untimely death brings a pang to many a heart, already surcharged with public woes and private griefs. m----^^--^^mmm ' SCHOOLS AND SCHOOLMASTERS.. That education is a boon, knowledgo desirable, and even a littlo learning not a dangerous thing, all tho world believes. But all the world is not agreed as to tho best method of imparting this privilege or.blessing. Some hold that the surest way of educating tho masses is by addressing our? selves to thom directly, establishing common schools, sufficiently numerous, to reach all, and thus dt least to impart tho rudiments of scienco to the rising democracy of tho land. Othors, and among them some of tho wisest and most thoughtful of our'public mon, have all along held that education cannot be forced, any more than refinement of manners, and the various otbei social graces, characteristic of a high state of civ? ilization; and that, in order to ensure a real and rbiding interest in the subject of education-a full appreciation of its blessings-wo must first en? gender and awaken a desire for it-a thirsting aftei knowledgo-and that this can only be done effec? tually by raising the standard of education among tho upper classes. It was held, furthermore, bj tho advocates of this view, that by increasing the i faculties for tho attainment of a liberal education. a number of competent teachers would be secured i whose mero presence in the State would contribute ; much toward oreatiug an interest among the peo t pie in favor of education. This, in the main, wai , the opinion of Dr. THOBJTWEIX, SO ably advocated L in his interesting paper on Common Schools, pub t lished about ten years ago in the Southern Quar? terly Review, and in his letter on this subject, ad . dressed to Governor MAN?OSO. ---- . to reside exclusively either on the one side or th< other. It is so, in our opinion, with tho two theo . ries just stated. Each contains truth, but neithei , is perfect, or altogether practicable, in the exist , ing state of things. We . will speak of the las! first. Tho objections to it are in tho fact, that bul very few of the graduales of our colleges make , teaching their profession in after life. Teaclrnf . is a laborious pursuit, especially so when there is . perhaps, no natural fitness, no training with thif special object in view; no real apprenticeship oi practice. Itis "taken np" generally tfll something else presents that will "pay better." It is consid? ered a "stepping stone? merely to something mar? ' congenial, less laborious, or more profitable. Thie has been the rule to such an extent, that while il is considered quite in order for a young gentleman to teach a year or two after leaving college, his friends are not pleased, if ho is contented to wield the ferule beyond that time. Teaching is badly paid; not, perhaps, as compared with other coun? tries, ii the mere number of dollars aro taken into consideration; but inadequately paid, when com? pared with the reward of monta! and physical exertion that awaits men in other walks of life; men of the same natural endowments, and equal or perhaps inferior scholastic culture. Hence teaching has never attained to the dig? nity of a profession in this part of the world ; nor have teachers enjoyed the social recognition due to so useful, honorable and intelligent a class. There is no reason why the teacher of youth should not have the same consideration that is readily awarded to the clergyman, the lawyer and the physician. His status is still in the formative stage. It should be determined. His pay should be equal to the average pay of members of the "liberal" professions. With such inducements, the community would then have a right to look for a man of character, ability and fitness, to fill the position. Until then we have little hope of the reflex influence of the higher educational institu? tions on the character or intelligence of the people at large. . . . ? We think the first stated method,-that of free or common schools,-preferable as a means of dis? seminating the elements of knowledge. True, the fi?d, and the system a^^t?d"t?~ Massachusetts may be ont of place in South Carolina. We are of those who think that systems of theology, philoso? phy, or even school-teacliing, aro not like shoes and hats, that may be manufactured in Lynn or Albany to suit given "numbers," whenever a foot or a head of the prescribed size may bo found, ihium cuiq?e. If every man is a law to himself, certain? ly every nation and every State has aright to claim as much individuality; and could we read the pro-, tests of the' native teachers Of China and Japan, of Turkey, Algiers and Hindost?n,-we doubt not we should hear objections very similar.to those we hold ourselves. : The French, Dutch and English traders, soldiers and teachers are doubtless aharp er than tba aborigines .of those countries; and Eu? ropean civilization to our eyes may appear prefer? able, to the effete state of Asiatic''society. But this, in our opinion, does not settle the question of right and propriety in regard to forcing our sys? tem upon them by a holy cn-usade. Chango is not always progress. Mulato nomine de le fabidd narralur. ?'. _ Much has been said nf 'the Prussian system of education, and very often by persons who know notting of it. This system now obtains all over Europe, or very nearly so ; and its corner stone is I in tho faot that the Minister of Public Abstraction, j a mern bor of tb e Boyal Cabinet, is the head school? master of tho State. Attendance at school is com? pulsory. The school is aa muon an institution of the State as is the Church. Teachers are carefully trained, undergoing a preparation iii government schools, for five or six years, during which time they pass annual examinations, thus ridding tho graining school every year of such as ara deemed unfit for the carear they had catered upon. It is only thus a competent body of school teachers, can be secured: only thus thai a vivifying esyfrii Jn.corp8 wOl sering np. and Webing' will ? be re-, cognized as a liberal profession. Theteaeher there looks lor '^ething better? only in tba. line pf his proton, /.Promotion ia open to' him by regular gradation, just as it is in the army, or navy, orTn the t?v?,service..,.,, . After ho graduaWin ?ie:"Senimoiy," a epectes of Normal SehooL^he is ? ?caii?idaie:? The num? ber of adm?wions into theSexoinary being limited,' Government Boon finds a place for tho candidate, usually an assistant in some village schcol, . if there he gives satisfaction .' fcTthe?people ?wh'ani he', serves, and td the "scholastic"; authorities, he rises to & higher position; but promotion generally is slow. After some years ho becomes tho princi? pa! of a common schcol; ho may then riso from a village to a town or to ? city, ?nd enjoy the best positions in Bociety, with a very respectable salary. He may even rise to be a "Master" in the "Semi? nary." But it novor entern his head to ab indon his pro- I fession, and " tako up" this or that employment, with a '.??cyr of bettering his condition. Indeed, if \ tho truth must bo told, bc is not altogether at f liberty to do BO. In tho countries of tho old world, a man cannot lay down one trade or profession and tako up another as ho docs his coat or bis carpet. To obtain "tho mastery*' in any pursuit, prepara? tion is necessary and this fact has a strong tenden- j cy to mako a man content with whatsoever con? dition he finds himself in. He must either do that, or emigrate. But is the Prussian system tho all-potent educa? tor it is claimed to be ? There is an ancient proverb saying that a Mercury could bo made of every tree ; but there wero thoso who made bold to sav, that a Mercury could not be made of every tree. There is a homely old English proverb, cor? roborativo of tho lattor positior, arid declaring that a silk purse cannot be made :>ut of every kind of material. The Prussian system is the best for tho State, but takes little account of the individ? ual ; in this respect resembling the Spartan train? ing. Tho "apt" can learn, and have every facility aflorded them for progress, the sluggard, and he who is less gifted by nature, receives cuffs and blows, but no other "aids' to reflection." Hence wo not unfroquently meet, oven in Prussia, boys and girls of seventeen or twenty, who can norther read nor write, notwithstanding they had attended school from the ages of six to thirteen, or from seven to fourteen. However curious or even in? credible such a statement may appear, it is strictly true. But compulsory attendance at school has here? tofore been hold at variance with the . Constitution of the United States, and with the spirit of our in? stitutions, and very properly so, we think. ' Liberty of conscionco, perfect tolerance m all matters of religion have ever boen held among the chief and most characteristic privileges of American liberty, and those would soon bo found incompatible with a compulsory system of common school education. H the State prescribes who shall teach the young on Monday, it will soon extend this prerogative and designate who shall teach them and their ciders also on Sunday. If the State appoints teachers of science and of tho arts, why not of morals and religion ? The experience of every country has proven this. ? based upon the principles of our government, as it was. They do not apply with the same force to tho existing stato of things. We think it not un? likely that after wo aro militarily and civilly recon? structed, we shall bo put through a similar pro? cess, morally and religiously, and bo taught tho three B's by a gentleman nominated by the Presi? dent of tho United States, and confirmed by the Senate in Executive Session, Quien sabe ? The PEABODT. FUND, it is suggested, should be devoted exclusively to the education of teachers. We fully approve such use of the donation. Our educational wonts aro perhaps greater now than they have boen for years, and our State is not in a position to do much at presont. Assistance from abroad is welcome therefore ; and it should be put to the best uso ; and this we unhesitatingly say is in tho cducatioa of teachers. Proper precautions should perhaps bo takon, however, that the per? sons educated for tho purpose, should carry out the design, and make teaching their profession. WANTS.

What great poet ever wrote his poem in prose ? or where is there a good prose poem to be found ? Tho Pilgrim's Progress indeed has been called one, and undoubtedly Bunyan had a genius that tended to make I him a poet, and ono of no mean order, and jet it was of as ungenerous and low a sort as was compatible with so lofty an affinity, and this was the reason why lt stood I where it did.
