A student of YaJe College was indefinitely sus; pended list week for breaking gas-pipes. 1 ? So many people are out of employment in New York that recruiting officers are doing a good business. A man in Cincinnati, while cleaning his cellar of dirt that bad accumulated for years past, found a leather purse containing seventy-six dollars in gold. v~ ' ' 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 the 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. . . ir Since tHo enforcement of the Sunday law in New York, some dealers put up the sign in . their shops, on Saturday : "Load your pistols for ^Sunday." A girl who had been supported by public chari? ties died in Cincinnati on the 19th, and in her ? room WM found the sum of. $6000, of which $1500 was ingold. . Tte recent freshet made a gully in a sandy road m East Bridgewater, Connecticut, three hundred feet long; forty feet wide and from ten to seven? teen fee: deep.

She has . been mijrried not four years, and has three chil - dxen, which is doing as well as could be expected of any princess. 'The Jesuits who fiad from Rome on the with? drawal of the French troops, and returned to A?striaj are being received very coldly, and in some cases with decided opposition by the Catho? lics. ... ?.The area of the valley of the Mississippi is 1,200, OOO squire miles,, while that of the Amazon is 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, ai id Washington 'Territory. . An old hotel keeper in Washington once posted z: on his. dining room door the following notice : "Memb3rs 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 one fron: *iothor." . The landon Unitarian Herald publishes statis? tics of the Sunday Schools of that denomination, --. from wldch it appears that the Unitarians have about one-hundj:ed and seventy-one such schools in England and Wales, and twenty-one thousand ?'?'andthiity acholire on the books. - . The ? ian Antonio Ledger saya that fine fat chick c ens are selling, at three dollars a dozen, and tur :' keys at nine dollars a dozen ; venison hams, six dollars a dozen ; sweet potatoes at seventy-five cenata to.one dollar a bushel ; pork, four and five donara a hymdred, and beef of - splendid quality at five cents a pound. The Denver Few; says that there is a curious rumor from tie mountains, by a gentleman just ' down, that * remarkable pocket or cavity bas been found in ono of the mmes near Gregory Point, the wails of which are absolutely lined or plated with gold. ' Ita informant had seen a small specimen JScom ii which waa valued at $200. The New Ycrk Tribune .says:1 "That Governor ' BROWN of Georgia should sustain the Reconstruc? tion plan of Congress w?l astonish the country thei South even moro than tho North. We accept it as p:nx)f that the calmer thought of the South? ern people begins to appreciate the fact that there is but one way to reunion-acquiescence in; the .3?W " :V- \ ^iThe authorities of Ihetown of St. Albans, Ver ., i?mt,.re^tly made a rsidnponallthehquorsto pe found in the village, arrested the venders, in? cluding the hotel-k?epers. As an onset, tho land ' ' Jords llave pulled down their 'signai That lovely .and iniportant town is, therefore, at present with? out an y publio accommodation for man or beast. -1 On. the Ogdenaburgh frontier j RICEAUD KANE was di 4ecttdr on Tuesday, in the act of smuggling l?qm? from Canada. One of the beams in his -. ? leigh rack was bored about seven feet Trith a two inch augur, and contained about thrr^ gallons of whiskey. It.was so constructed as to deceivo the most J>rymg eyes, and was only oUitcovered by the ''''merest accident. While a theatrical company were singirg the "Star Spangled Banner" upon the stage of the Portland (Mei) theatre on the evening of Washing? ton's Birthday; a fellow in the gallery commenced to hiss, which caused the greatest indignation - among the audience. - He was hustled from the hons?, Down East fashion, and compelled to give three cheers fer the flag. ' ; The Chicago Post says: "Several medical stu ' dents were arrested on tho 18th mst. fer carrying their .scientific ardor to an uncivilized pitch. Cit ' their premises were found a barrel containing hu? man l'Jgs, arms, har?ds, hearts and entrails, parti? ally, decayed, and emitting a hideous stench. On a tabla was a lifeless body minus one leg, and else . whare five or six other corpses were found await . isg, 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 Pr?sident asking him to appoint 'ired. Douglass Commissioner of the Freedmen's Bureau. The President is reported as having said that ii would be a good opportunity to test the sin? cerity of Radical- affection for the negro by sub? mitting his name to the Senate, but it is hardly probably it will be done. o The Richmond Tones says: "Judge THOMAS re? cently rendered a very lengthy decision in the case of HUNTER ?5. BENNETT, FOWLE and SNOWDEN VS. MAETIK, and others of a Bimi lar nature, declaring the tiililes to the property purchased at the United Staten -tax sales invalid, principally upon the ground that the Commisioners were not empow? ered 1? sell more than sufficient to pay the tax?e, penalties and costs. We leam that these cases will he cai ried to the Supreme Court of the United States." . The chief spring election contest is this yoar to be fought in Connecticut, on the first Monday in April Both pr rties have selected their candidates, . - the Governor on the Republican tick -1 being Gen. HAWI.ES, and on the Democratic ticket JAMES E. ENQIJSH. Last year, after a most animatad con? test, in which both parties brought out their full strength, Gen. HAWLEY was elected Governor by ?41 majority, in a total vote of 86,974. This year the Republican platform endorses colored suffrage and supports the course of the majority in Con? gress, whilst the Democratic platform opposes the congressional majority and supports the Presi? dent, The Russian Government bas made another step in advance. It has partially thrown open to the Jews two important towns formerly closed against them. Jewish merchants of the second and third guild may now settle at Sebastopol and Nikolaietf, trade there, and even acquire real estate. A still . greater boon to the Jews, and one whioh has also a political significance, is the offer made by the Russian Government to the Jews of Bokhara and other central Asiatic countries, to take them un? der its protection. Tho offer, it is said, has been eagerly accepted by them, as they were fearfully oppresBed by the Mohammedan rulers and popula? tion of those countries. The Houma (La.) Civic Guard speaks thus of the crops: "Our planters have had a delight? ful spell of weather for planting cane, and, from all vre can learn, have been improving the timo. All the large plantations are being planted in cane. Only the small farms, where there are no sugar houses, will be planted in cotton. Most of the freedmen liave contracted for tho year. In most cases their wages have been increased; the aver? age price paid for men is about fifteen dollars per month and rations." Tba Baton Rouge Sugar FUnder says cane is too scarce there to make much sugar before 1869, by which time there w?l be plant and rat toon cane enough to make a full pop.

CHARLESTON. FRIDAY MORNING, MARCH 1, 1867. DEATH OF J. D. B. DcBOW. Our citizens will bc grieved to see the announce? ment, by telegraph, of the death of the above named distinguished Charlestonian. Mr. DEBOW was born in this city about the year 1819; recoived his elementary education chiefly at some of the free schools ofthat day, and was for some time a clerk in the wholesale grocery house of .Messrs. E. <fc J. B. DELANO, well known at that day. By his own indus? try and the assistance of some relatives he was enabled lo enter the Cokosbury Institute, in Ab? beville District, S. C., where he prepared for col? lege. He then returned to this city, and entered the College of Charleston, whore he graduated in the same class with the Hon. Wu. PORCHES MILES and the Hon. W. H. TBESCOT. The next few year 3 he spent in tho study and practice of the law in this city ; but being more in? clined to literary pursuits-and especially every? thing connected wii>h statistic and economic sci? ence-he soon relinquished the bar and com? menced the publication of the Review, which haB been identified with his name from that period to the close of his life. In 1819 he was appointed Superintendent of the Census Bureau,-organized that office thoroughly, and succeeded in giving the most complete census we have ever had in this country. As editor of the Beoiew he was one of the best known, as he certainly was one of tho best inform? ed, of cotemporajy public writers in America. He has been cut down in his prime ; at a time, too, when the country and State he loved needed his wisdom and experience. In private hie he en? joyed the friendship and esteem of all with whom he came in contact, and the announcement of his untimely death brings a pang to many a heart, already surcharged with public woes and private griefs. ^^^^^^^^^a^a^ SCHOOLS AND SCHOOLMASTERS. That education is a boon, knowledge desirable, and even a little learning not a dangerous thing, all the world oelieves. But all the world is not agreed as to the best method of imparting this privilege br.blessing. Some hold that tho surest way of educating the masses is by addressing our? selves to them directly, establishing common schools, sufficiently numerous, to reach all, and thus at least to impart the rudiments of science to the rising democracy of the land. Others, and among them some of the wisest and most thoughtful of our public men, have all along held that education cannot be forced, any more than refinement of manners, and the various other social graces, characteristic of a high state of civ? ilization; and that, in order to ensure a. real and abiding interest in the subject of education-a full appreciation of its'blessings-we must first en? gender and awaken a desire for it-a thirsting' after knowledge-and that this can only be done effec? tually by raising the standard of education among the upper classes. It was held, furthermore, by tho advocates of this view, that by increasing tho facilities for the attainment of a liberal education, a number of competent teachers would be secured, whose mere presence in the State would contribute much toward creo ting an interest among the peo? ple in favor of education. This, in the main, was the opinion of Dr. THOENWELL, so ably advocated in his interesting paper on Common Schools, pub? lished about ter. years ago in tho Southern Quar? terly Review, and in his letter on this subject, ad? dressed to Governor MANNING. Truth, in a dispute of this kind, is sld?m found to reside exclusively either on the one side or the other. It is so, in our opinion, with the two theo? ries just stated. Each contains truth, but neither is perfect, or altogether practicable, in the exist? ing state of things. We will speak of the last first. The objections to it are in the fact, that but very few of the gradua* ea of our colleges make teaching their profession in after life. Teaching is a laborious pursuit, especially so when there, is, perhaps, no natura.' fitness, no training with' this speoial object in view;" no real apprenticeship or practice. It is "take u np" generally till something else presents that will "pay better." It is consid? ered a "stepping stone" merely to something more congenial, less laborious, or more profitable. This has been the rule to such an .extent, that while it is considered quit? in order for a young gentleman to teach a year or two after leaving college, his friends ore not pleased, if ho is contented to wield the fernie beyond that time. Teaching is badly paid; not, perhaps, as compared with other coun? tries, if the mere number of dollars are taken into consideration; but inadequately paid, when com? pared with the reward of mental 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, hone ablo and intelligent a class. There is no reason ivhy the teacher uf youth should not have the some consideration that is readily awarded to the clergyman, the lawyer and alie physician. His utatus is still in the formative stago. 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 havo 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 Prussian system may not answer for New Eng? land, and the system adapted .to Massachusetts may be out of place in South Carolina, We are of those who think that systems of theology, philoso? phy, or even school-teaching, are not like shoos and hats, that may be manufactured in Lynn or Albany to Buit given "numbers," whenever a foot or a head of the prescribed size may be found. Suum cuique. 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 sharp? er ..?rn the 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 tho question of right and propriety in regard to forcing our sys tem upon them by a holy crusade. Chango ia not always progress. Mutato nomine de te fabula narratur. Much has been said of the Prussian system of education, and very often by persons who know nothing of it. This system now obtains all over Europe, or very nearly so ; and its corner stone is in the fact that the Minister of Public Instruction, a member of the Royal Cabinet, is tho head school? master of the State. Attendance at school is com? pulsory. Tho school is as muc li an instil ution of the State as is the Church. Teachers are carefully trained, undergoing a preparation in government schools, for five or six yoars, during which time thoy pass annual examinations, thus ridding the training school every year of such aa are doomed unfit for the career they had entered upon. It is only thus a competent body of school teachers can be secured ; only thus that a vivifying espirtl du corps will spring up. and teaching will bo re? cognized as a liberal profession. The teacher there lo?les for "something bettor" only in the line of his profession. Promotion is open to him by regular gradation, just as it is in the army, or navy, or in tho civil service. After ho graduates in the "Seminary," a species of Normal School, ho is a "candidate." Tho num? ber of admissions into tho Seminary being limited, Government soon finds a placo for tho candidate, usually an assistant in soino village school. If there ho gives satisfaction to the people whom ho serves, and to tho "scholastic" authorities, he rises to a higher position; but promotion generally is slow. After some years he becomes tho princi? pal of a common school; ho may then rise from a village to a town or to a city, and enjoy the best positions in society, with a very respectable salary. Ho may even rise to bo a "Master" in the "Semi? nary." But it never entere his head to abandon hie pro? fession, and " take up" this or that employment, with a view of bettering his condition. Indeed, if the truth must bo told, he is not altogether at liberty to do so. In the countries of the old world, a man cannot lay down one trado or profession and tako up another as ho does his coat or his carpet. To obtain "tho mastery'' in any pursuit, prepara? tion ia necessary and thia fact bas a strong tenden? cy to make a man content with whatsoever con? dition ho finds himself in. He must either do" that, or emigrate. But ia the Prussian system the all-potent educa? tor it * ia claimed to be ? There is an ancient proverb saying that a Mercury could be made of every tree ; but there were those who made bold to say, that a Mercury could not be made of every tree. There is a homely old English proverb, cor? roborative of the latter position, and declaring that a silk purse cannot be made out 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. The "apt" can learn, und have every facility afforded them for progress, the shlggard, and he who is less gifted by nature, receives cuffs and blows, but no other "aida te reflection." Hence we not unfrequently meet, even in Prussia, boys and girls of seventeen or twenty, who can neither read nor write, notwithstanding they had attended school from the ages of sis to thirteen, or from sevon to fourteen. However curions or even in? credible euch a statement may appear, it is strictly true. But compulsory attendance at school has here? tofore been held at variance with tho Constitution of the United States, and with the spirit of our in stitutiona, and very properly so, we think. Liberty of conscience, perfect tolerance m all matters of religion have ever been hold among the chief and most characteristic privileges of American liberty, and these would soon be found incompatible with a compulsory system of common school education. If the State prescribes who shall teach the young on Monday, it will soon extend this prerogative and designate who shall teach them and their elders oleo on Sunday. If the State appoints teachers of science and of the arts, why not of morals and religion? The experience of every country has proven thi8. Our arguments and our objections are, however, based upon the principles of our government, as it was. They do not apply with the r^me force to the existing state of things: We think it not un? likely that after we are militarily and civilly recon? structed, we shall be put through a similar pro? cess, morally and religiously, and be taught the three B's by a gentleman nominated by the Presi? dent of the United States, and confirmed by the Senate in Executive Session, Quien sabe ? The PEABODY FUND, it ia suggested, should be devoted exclusively to the education of teachers. We fully approve such use of the donation. Our educational wants are perhaps greater now than they have been for years, and our State is not in a position to do much at present. Assistance from abroad is welcome therefore ; and it should be put to the best use ; and this wo unhesitatingly say ia in the education of teachers. Proper pr?cautions should perhaps be taken, however, that the per? sona educated for the purpose, should carry out the design, and make teaching their profession. WANTS. WANTED, FIFTEEN OR TWENTY .
