nnT T TA/T? TA Thursday Morning, March 7, 1867. AnotUer Bureau. Our exchange inform us that a bill has boen passed in Congress author? izing the establishment, in "Washing? ton, of a Department of Education. Thc object of this department, it is stated to be. will be he collection of all tacts pertaining to the subject of education throughout the country, with a view to the dilTusion of useful information concerning tho establish? ment and maintenance of efficient schools. The bill, it is alleged, does not assume control of, or iu any way interfere with the present school sys? tems, or their management, and need not, therefore, be looked upon as an approach to the governmental direc- i tion of schools, commonly lound in j Europe. We cannot view it in any other .ugh', than as another step in tho cen? tralizing system-the tendency to bureauism in the administration of public affairs in this country. This newly established department may be enabled to make many and practical suggestions, and ?will bave the advan? tage of comprehending thc entire field of education in all the States and Territories, and thus be prepared *"c ascertain defects and point cut re? medies; but it will scarcely stop there. One of the functions of the commissioner at the head of the de? partment will be to furnish to Con? gress an annual report, embodying the result ot* his labors, and present? ing a statement of thc several grants of land made by Congress for educa? tional purposes, and the manner in which the funds arising therefrom have been appropriated. From this, it is evident that a sys? tem of national education is to be established, and that the grants of public lands made to the several ?States for educational purposes will not be long left to the disposal of the States, and that, at least in the unre? constructed States, a large portion of said funds, if, indeed, not all, will be expended in teaching the young ne? groes, for whose education, under tue appropriations made to the ori? ginal "bureau," ample provision has been made. This new measure is but the expunging of another lino of the demarcation which formerly de? signated sovereign and independent States. Better have left the subject of education to them. Tile- L;isl Veto. We have read attentively, and we I hoite that all our readers have done i the sanio, the message of the Presi- ? dont returning to Congress the mili- : tary reconstruction bill, without his ? approval. It is so concise in argu- | mont, and sots forth in such plain i language the weighty objections he entertains to the measure, that any extended comment is .unnecessary, i Ho stands whore he stood at the time cf the first rupture between him .md Congress, and for the same reason that the measures which have elicited his vetoes aro in violation of the Con? stitution. Time will show which department of the Government has acted more wisely in their dealings with the i ir i Southern States, and will further prove hov,- far the policy of Congress, will contribute to peace and restora? tion. From all appearances, that po- ! hey will be put on its trial in those j States for which it is framed, as there ! is no means of preventing it, at least j in time to preclude that trial. Calm and deliberate action, or ra? ther the patient bearing of inevitable destiny, is now the only course loft to the people of the Southern States. It may be that there is a silver lining \ behind tho angry clouds which now overshadow tho land, although the vision of our finite reasoning cannot yet perceive it; but one thing we may rest assured of, that the destiny of this, as of all other nations, is in the hands of the Supreme Baler, before whom "all nations are as nothing, and they are counted to him less than nothing, and vanity." Let us, then, calmly abide tho results in the future, faithfully discharging our duties to ourselves, our families, and to each other. BURGLARY, IN SCTJMERYILI?E.-The house of Mr. Artemus Gould, at Summsrville, was entered on Friday night by a band of burglars, who carried oft' a large amount of booty in the shape of silver spoons, forks, Atc. A reward of i?10U is offered for the arrest of the guilty parties. Tm?, Direct and Indirect. MESSRS. EDITORS: Taxes, direct and indirect, niu?t be levied, that the 1 wheels of Government may not be? come locked; but just so long as they are indirectly assesed, the nation never chafes under the burdon. For exam? ple: we who cultivate and export cot? ton, seldom make inquiry about the duty imposed upon the manufactured article imported. If weean buy Eng? lish prints as cheap us Yaukee cali? coes, we think all well; England can pay the cost ol' transportation and compete with Northern manufacto? ries, because her labor is cheaper and machinery more perfect than in Ame rica. Xever, for a moment, do the mass of consumers retied. Hint Eng? land shoulders a hoav> turill iu this competition, which IN. ol' course, a tax imposed indirectly upon those consumers themselves; for il these fabrics were import ed free ?.!' duty, just that much cheaper could they ho bought from English factories. How many thousands- -aye. millions of tribute money have ve thus paid into the coffers of tho Lowells of thu North: Again: The Southern planter, who formerly owned his labor, seldom at? tached a per diem estimate to that labor. A certain amount of labor was considered necessary to produce a certain effect in a given time. So many hands would cultivate so ninny acres, and harvest the crop in a twelve-month. The planter's iue uno arose from the constantly enhancing value of his slaves, us weil a> from the sale of his crops, and so identified was this species of personal property with his real estate, that they both were often an inappreciable but heavy tax. Idle negroes and idle lands wore necessary concomitants tc a Southern plantation, and seldom viewed as a direct tax. So also ol many other onerous, self-imposed, but inappreciable taxes to which tin Southern planter has always beer subjected. "Worm lenee?," for i:i stance, wove built almost ns a pas time. Land had to be "cleared," ant mauling the rails to enclose the fieh was a part of the clearing. What i? the cost of such a fence? was an ide; seldom entertained. Public roads hat tobe worked, and the Commissiouei is authorized to exact of each mah laborer on the plantation twelve days work during the year; but thisexactioi was often compromised by each plant er binding himself to keep in good re pair the public roads leadingthrougl his o'vvn plantation; and this wa seldom considered a heavy tax, be cause that job could be done on rain; days, or when the land was too wet ti plough, or when there was "nothing else to do on the plantation." The new regime that has beei forced upon us will materially altei and doubtless amend, this unme thodical, loose system of counting th moneyed costs of leading a Souther: planter's life. The daily value of th freedman's labor will hereafter b reckoned, and few fences ?will be bail or roads worked without entering th per diem cost upon the balance shot ol' profit or loss to the plantation. T illustrate, let us calculate the cost i enclosing a "now-ground"-say < sixteen acres, four acres square. Tili will require five thousand rails, good "hand"' will cut and maul thes in just forty days. Such a hand : worth fifteen dollars for every twenty six working days, including the co; of rations and lodging. Thus on day more than a month and a ha will be consumed in the mauling, ; a cost of exactly twenty-three dollar, These rails are now to be hauled, an the fence is to be built, which wi cost at least seventeen dollars add tional. Hence the land will cost, an always has cost, two and a half do lars per acre to enclose it. Hereh fore, the ownership and identity < the labor alluded to above renden this such an indirect tax that it w; seldom the cause of complaint. No that this labor is purchased and mu be every way economized, will tl planters of the country loug subm to this direct, burthensome and us less tax? The old road law still exists, ar from this time forth, will become ; onerous tax, to which our citizei should not submit. Change, renov tion, improvement, are demanded : the road laws, before the roads of tl country eau be kept in traveling co: dition. The laborers of the count: are nov/ almost universally male black and white. A planter, tho: ?who works twelve hands, may, ai probably will, have ten ol' them male To require these ten hands to wo: twelve days each on the roads, wou be equivalent to five months work one baud, or a direct tax to the plat er of seventy-five dollars. Tl: amount, if the roads were *qet would perhaps keep in "good orde at least five times the length of roi worked in our bap-hazard way 1 these ten hands. Planters may sn we work the roads when we can < nothing else. This is all very w< for slavery, but not applicable tohir labor, for before another decade, t time on a plantation when "nothii else" can be done, w ill be time eharf able to the employee, and not lost the planter. Efforts were made by the last I gislature to remedy these two evils the road tax and the fence tax-b being possibly premature, they we abortive. The time is approachi when these efforts will bc effectual. More anon. S. P. ?.axt or the Thirty-ninth Congres, j The Thirty-ninth Congress, which has just expired, will occupy a con? spicuous place in the political history of our country. Coming into power after the work of war had been finish? ed, the duty devolving upon it was the restoration of peace, harmony and concord between the dissevered sections of the Union. To it the people looked for a w ise and judicious policy, that should preclude thc pos? sibility of futuro rebellion, ami at the same time he so tempered with leniency as to win hack the good-will as well us the political allegiance j of tho Soul h. This course was ex-| peetod, no; only at home but abroad. ? The people of V.uropo. remembering our syn pathy with Poland, Hungary ? und Ireland, mindful of out' profes? sion? about political equality, liberty j and fr.lom, naturally looked fot* i tho practice of what we had so long professed. If any one had at that tinto predicted what has siuce come lo p.e.-, he would have been regarded ?e. a lit subject for ;i lunatic asylum. Neurh two vears have passed since j ?hr r?bellion ended, and to-day we ari- apparently as fur from political restoration us we were ou the uieinjj rnblo day of Leo's surrender. And with regard to harmony between the , North and South, it is a question '. whether the feeling is not more bitter ! now than it was when the war fermi nated. The Thirty-ninth Congress has disappointed tho expectation of ' the people; it lias surprised European ' spectators, ami there will be' but few j to regret its end. Yet we have rarely . had a Congress embodying more j statesmanship und general talent than the one which is now going ont ot power. lt is common for the political op- ; ponents of a Congress to tittribute all '. its shortcomings to a want ol' ability, < but we cannot account for the failure of this one upon such grounds. Its, . average? talent rates unusually "nigh. ; and its faults must be attributed to ? some other cause than tint of incom- I potency. The failure of Congress can probably be traced to undue firmness, inflexibility and positive? ness, rather than anything else. When tho first disagreement occur- j rod between the President and Con- 1 gross, harmony might have bren restored and maintained if either party had evinced a disposition to concede a little for the sake of amity. Eut neither would yield tin inch, ami ? hence tho broach became wider and wider, until it roached tho present proportions. To that point all the trouble between the President and Congress, and all the delay about re- : construction, can be directly traced. If the executive and the legislative powers had continued to work toge- , thor in harmony, we doubt not that ' complete reconstruction of the Union I would long oro this have boen attain? ed. Tho Thirty-ninth Congress, how- ; ever, must be judged by its works, and upon that basis responsibility must be fastened upon it. It luis not only failed to do its work, but it has complicate d the trouble and rendered the consummation of that work a difficult thing for the succeeding Con? gress. Not only tina, but it is ac? countable, in some measure, for tho business prostration that is now felt throughout tiio country-at least so lar as business troubles have resulted from political causes. It had an op? portunity to win the gratitude of tho country and the admiration of Eu? rope; but instead of that it has won tho censure of our own people and the disapprobation of those abroad. The immediate partisans of Congress will pretend to endorse its course, but unprejudiced and fair-mindea people of all classes must necessarily condemn it, and history will award it anything but an enviable distinction.

A ''gentleman," arrested in Cin? cinnati for trying to induce some unsuspecting individuals to gamble, was found to be in possession of twenty or thirty ivory checks and a letter of introduction to the Young Men's Christian Association. A Memphis paper says the reason so many marriages occur immediate? ly ?ifter a great war is, that bachelors become so accustomed to strife that they learn to like it, and after the re? turn of peace thev enlist in matri? mony as the next thing to war. Secretary Seward has been charged with a great many things during his life, but the most astounding of all is that just made by a New York paper, that lie is under "deipnoso phistieal influences." The prospects are that in portions of Mississippi the next crops will be shorter than the last, labor being difficult to obtain and manage, and a small area being sown. The Wilmington Journal, of yes? terday, says Mrs. Jefferson Davis passed through that city on Friday evening last, accompanied only by a servant, en route for Charleston.

Tho Washington correspondent of the New* York Times says: "The public has lately been led to believe, from the absence of all in? formation on the subject, that the; impeachment movement had been brought to a stand-still, aud that we were to hear no more of it; but there j is the very best reason for saying that thc country will be startled before the close of this week by a report; from tile Judiciary Committee, indi- j eating the progress they have made, and asserting thc necessity of push? ing the investigation in the next Cou-. gress. This report, as a matter of course, will not be a final one. but will set forth the tact that the limited time since thc investigation was or-j dered has not been sufficient to ena? ble them to cic,np!ete their work, and also that thc developments thus far j demand its continuance. Mr. Bout well, the country may rest assured, j is terribly in earnest in this work. The committee has already taken a very large amount of testimony, and has' been in session both day and night. Witnesses from all parts of the country have been examined, ' and more have ?'cen summoned. Ar? to the continuance of the investiga? tion in the fortieth Congress, Ml*. Boutwell maintains that they need; not commence de novo, but that the 1 committee's proceedings being ol" ; record, such record can be made a part of the investigation. Thus far, | the operations of the committee have : Inca conducted with so much secrecy as to lead many to believe that no-] thing was being done, but this will prove to be a serious mistake, lt ?ii.iv. iUuC-ed, bu a question whether! the feeling in favor of imo achmeut '? is not actually decreasing, ami per- i haps Mr. Boutwell and his associates fear nothing so much as the effects ol efforts to induce the President to j countenance tin' important legisla tiou of Congress. .VU eyes are now turned to his action ou the military'' reconstruction bill. To pocket it willi be to greatly aggravate the Impeach? ment feeling. To veto it. so that Congress eau pass it."will be not: much better. To sign the bill, even j nuder protest, will.kill the impeach? ment movement. This is tlc ex? pressed opinion >i two prominent i Senators to-day.'" CoMrAKATrvr: HEAT.TH OF THIRTY SIX STATES.-So much has been said concerning the unhealthiness of the Southern States that any reliable in? formation upon tl;e subject will re? ceive genersd attention: and. while weare endeavoring to attract white emigrants to this State, we must not lose sight of the fact that, according' to the census returns, the mortality j is less in South Carolina than it is in either Pennsylvania, Indiana, Maine, Virginia.

Nor so LAD AS IT MIGHT LE.-The New York World expresses the opi- ; nion that the reconstruction bill ? adopted by Congress might be much j \v> irse : This bill, bad as it is, is more fa? vorable than any likely to be passed in its stead. If it is sent back with a veto, the Republicans cannot choose but try to repass it. If they succeed, it binds them to this measure instead ot' a worse one, which might follow it, ami prevents the absolute and final! exclusion of the South from thc Pre- ; sidential election, which would be the j certain consequence of letting the whole subject drop. The Wilmington (N. C.) Dispatch says that two negro women attempted i to commit suicide in that city, on i Saturday last, by taking laudanum. ! One of the two was so desperately : bent on ending her earthly career that she swallowed a number of pius after she had been relieved of the laudanum. A gay Lothario, in the shape of a big darkey, was the cause of all this woe.

A cable despatch, published jester- ! day, informs us that the plan of con- | federation submitted by the delegates ' from the North Amreicau Provinces, and which had been approved by the British Cabinet, has been passed by the House of Lords. The designa? tion of the new confederation is to be the Kingdom of Canada. Thus we have two kinds of "progress" on this continent-in the republic of tho United States towards radical altruism, and in provincial Canada towards positive monarchism. The new kingdom is to embrace Upper and Lower Canalla. Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. Prince Edward's Island and Newfoundland have so far refused to join the confederation, but provision is made to admit them, also British Columbia and tho North? west Territory, whenever it may be deemed desirable. A general Par? liament is provided for, composed of a House of Commons ami a Council, the latter mostly appointed by the Crown, in forming which the pro? vinces will be considered in three divisions, <u" which Upper Canada will bo first, Lower ('.mada second, and Nova Scotia and New brunswick third. The executive power will be vested in an authorized representa? tive of the sovereign of Great Bri? tain and Ireland-the Governor-Gen? eral-who will have a salary of $50,000 a year. The basis of repre? sentation in the House of Commons is to be the population, as deter? mined by official census every ten years. For each of the provinces, there is tobe a Lieutenant'Governor, who will be appointed by the Go? vernor-General in council, and paid by the general Legislature. Each of the provinces will have its own local Government and Legislature for the management of its local affairs. Such is the general pian ot' confederation agreed upon in the conference held at Quebec; but it evidently contem? plates the concentration ot' power in the home government. With this, and Imperialism in Mexico, the in? fluence of our happy republican in? stitutions on either side of Tts does not, for the moment, appear to be as portentia! as we would desire. Trtli peace and reconciliation at home would produce better effects. FIi(d(ii)iO)'? SHH. - -? - - - .
