COLUMBIA, S. C. Tuesday Morning, August 24, 1869. Bom? Thonghti on tn? Education i?ov? Nct?cd nt Ute Sontlt. It was the remark of Milton, that be considered "that a completo sad goit? rous education which fitted a man to perform ekillf ally and magnanimously all I the duties of the citizen, both private : and public, in peace and in war." This, ii will be conceded, is a noble conception, nt once elevated and comprehensivo. The 1 duties ofjjtho citizen, humanly speaking, involvo obligations to bia family and to his country. We proposo now to con? cern ourselves about those duties in penco, which the ci ti z ou owes to his country. At all times, classical attain monta aro to be highly prized, and the graces and amenities of polite literature, pertaining, as they do, to elevation of thought and tastes and to "the humani? ties" in general, are not to be disregarded in a proper educational scheme. But we assume that few persons will disputo the proposition, that education in the main should bo adapted to the condition of the people-at least, that there Bhould boa sp?cial adaptation of the subjects of instruction to the wants and circum? stances of the period. We know that there is an education for man as man, but certainly there should also be an education for the citizen, and the times in which his lot has been oast. Now, at this period in the South, tho necessities of our people are chiefly material. Civil convulsions have thrown us back into j that era of material progress which pre? ceded what may bo called the literary era. Ours are the days of iron and brass, and we have to look forward to an Au? gustan or a golden period. Now we do not need painters or sculptors or poets so much as we need artisans, mechanics and engineers. Not so muoh are authors and orators needed as praotical thinkers and practical workers. Not so mach do we want the fine conceptions of the imagination as the cool deductions of reason. Hence it is that, as we conceive it, tho education for the South should now be-largely practical and scientific, covering "the whole ground of polytech? nic instruction and physical develop? ment of our natural resources." Tho classics, belles lettres, mathematics, ab? stract philosophy-theso ara all useful aud important; but to them must bo added the department of applied science, involving such subjects as agriculture, commerce, manufactures, civil and me? chanical engineering, mining and applied chemistry, and the numerous sub-divi? sions connected with them. Such a plat] it is proposed to carry out in Washing? ton College, Virginia, of which General I/eo is President. Under the auspice; of his illustrious name, the scheme will probably be consummated. Let this bi successfully done and General Lee wil have his good and great name linked for ever with victories in peace as well ai achievements in war. No nobler missiot can President Leo -opose to himself than to give direct -, i to this ohauge ii Sonthorn education. Wo acknowledge that we invest th? subject with special significance, for witL it, in our opinion, is connected a nev statesmanship which, it appears to us is specially needed at the South. It is i mistake to suppose that State creeds am State policies can bo maintained lr words alone.. Wealth is a powor. It bone and sinews are needed. We mus throw up around our political ground if We would make a political stand, th solid muniments of material resources of numbers, and popular activity. W< must improve upon Southern statesman ship in the past. We must recognize euch truths as these, which come fron thc? pen of the able editor of DeBoiv" Review, Mr, Burwell, who says: "Any Southern mau who will loo] baok with the little lamp of his own per no nal experience, will see that there ha been one fatal obstacle to the Southon States retaining their relative influenc in a growing country. The statesmei of the South were averse to the devolop mont of those elements of mixed indue try whioh alone employ a whole peopl and enable society to capitalize ita earn ings. Southern statesmen relied upo: agriculture alone, and on slave labor, t maintain the welfare of society. Soutb ern statesmen did not care for shipping or for mining, or for manufacture! Tliey relied on the sacred record of Stai compact to secure the rig/Us of the seven States. They depended on distant mei ehants, mariners and manufacturers t supply all their wants. Their construe tion of the Federal compact was, in ou opinion, correct; their error was in suj fusing it could be maintained by word n their jnst hostility to the liberal cor struction of the Federal Constitution which gave the Federal Government th Eower to protect manufactures or t uild roads, they unconsciously esteude their opposition to both theso great inti rests. Tho truo reason why tho Soutl ern States have ports without ships, ore without operatives, and water powe wil'iout water-works, is because Soutl ern legislators took no interest in tho d< veloptnent of thoso interests. It is b< gajggMWKWIltfi i IL_ii LI J .lilil? i mi causo few Southern statesmen, from the days of Washington. Marshall and Jef? ferson, have taken any interest in train? ing the pooplo of the South to any other pursuit save thai of ?gpfoult?r?." Not}; it is clear tbs* if we would re? gen ont ethe S#th t|hd 'recover broken fortunes and injured industries-if we would put the South again on a career of prosperity-if we would lay broad and strong the foundations of our renewed power, we must avoid the errors of the past and profit bj the lessons of our humiliating experience. We must and will take a now departure.. The ship of State must be put upon a new coarse, if we would reach the desired haven. All tho industrial arts must bo pursued. A mixed industry must be the order of the day. The whole intellectual capaoity of the Southern mind must bo utilized; and to do this, the youth of the Sooth must be taught in a scientific and practical curriculum. Herotoforo, in tho South, our oducatod and ambitions boys havo crowded tho liberal professions. The result has been that the pulpit, tho bar and tho medical faoulty havo boon adorn? ed with many shining lights; but thc re? sult is also seen in poor preachers, brief? less lawyers and indifferent doctors of medicine. Sublimo as it is to bo tho elo? quent divine-high HS it is to adorn any of the liberal pursuits-our youth should learn that thero rj[ enduring and lofty honors to be won fin tho departments of agriculture, commerce and mechanics. If the need of popular recognition is freely bestowed upon warrior, poet, orator, or writer, let it be realized by tho young mon especially of our day and country, that public honors likewise await tho conspicuons workers in the moro practical and perhaps useful pur? suits of life. Oortain it is, that it will be an auspicious state of feeling ab thc South, when, to be a successful farmer, a good merchant, a thorough ongineet and architect, or an accomplished me? chanic, will command a largo share ol the ambition of our educated meu. Hence our conclusion-that the style ol education now noeded at tho Soutl: should bo largely and thoroughly prudi cal in its spirit. ? * m * "Weekly llovlnv of the Stute Presa. The Abbeville Banner, turning asidt from tho beaten track of politics, take issuo with Horace Greeley, "tho white coated philosopher" of tho Tribune, ot his views upon capital punishment. Th< Banner controverts theso several propo sitious of Greeley: * 1. Capital punishment the Offspriuj and evidence of barbarism. 2. Society does violence to itself b; inilicting capital punishment. 3. Capital punishment is murder. Greeley's views are very tender, bu not towards us during the late war. H belongs, we take it, to that school o humanitarians, who would "wash awa with tears and undermine with sighs th wholo fabric of tho moral universe." The Lancaster Ledger brings tho Stat Fair prominently before the Lancastei ians, and favors tho introduction c Chiuese laborers. lu the townshi election, at the Court House, tho Derne crats elected their candidates. The Barnwell Journal reviews Mi Dickson's recent letter and dissents frot his views-which are hostile to immigrt tion. Tho Charleston Neus, on the "Futui of the South," sees for this section brilliant prospect-its wealth and pow< to spring from tho soil. It calculates product this yaar for the South of nc less than $704,000,001), which, inapopi lation of 11,000,000, would give an ave ago of $64 per head. It puts the pr< duct of South Carolina nt 850,000,00 which, in her population of 670,00 would show an average of S7?.G2 pi head-theso figures being ahead, as tl News states, of tho Northern and Wes ern States. Tho News argues that tl South offers rare inducements to tl immigrant, and predicts that tho mont and brain power of the South will sure re-establish her, in spite of all the effor of radicalism. Tho Orangeburg News, the champ? of an eclectic Republicanism, assumii that tho Democratic party is stone dea like Dickens' Scruggs, not only dead ; a door-nail, but even dead as a coffi nail, urges and invites and entreats tl good but benighted Democrats of Sou Carolina to abandon a sinking craft, ai embark upon the noble ship of a pui fying and purified Republicanism. Con up, tho editor in effect says, from tl marshy atmosphere of your Democrai lo these pure and elevatod heights whei on we stand, bearing aloft tho staiulc banner of an immaculate Rcpublicanist Speaking of the artiolo of tho Chariest? News, on "How shall we redeem tl State?" we aro pleased to find I Oraugeburg News saying: "It speaks rather doubtfully of tl practicability of a compromiso botwe tho respectable men of the two parties. "Believe us, that suoh a compromi is practicable, and has been accomplish 'i m mn in- . III i i ia Virginia and Tennessee; it ia ike only means to bring about Ute end to. muon desired by tho Neics and by on ra el vos, tiie defeat of ita corrupt, extreme party that rutes the State, and Ik* redemption of our country, into the hands cf honest, in telligej? men. Wo note the charitable tone of the Ne irs' allusion to us. These ques? tions should be discussed by the press with calmness and charity fot opposing views, withont descending to abusive and common-place epithets and invectivo. "We believe the News desires tho good of our Carolina, so do wo; let ns discus? tho menus of obtaining tho desired et;ri with lon io ney and good will." The Darlington Southerner deprecates the spirit that would proscribe a mau for his political opinion?. The Charleston Republican-thc organ of radicalism parc and proper-gives us things as viewed from that stand-point, and, ns it is well to look at subjects in all their aspects, we shall read what it has to say. It addresses itself to tho work of raising the scales from Democratic eyes, and vindicating and proclaiming tho creed to which it belongs. It will hold the nation to be gi eater than the State, and the Stato greater than any pnrty. South Carolin? Collegc-Unl vernit y. Mit. EDIXOII: I am carried back to tho beginning of the present century, and memory calls up tho many learned aud gifted mou who ministered in its tem? ples, aud tho bright list of patriots aud statesmen with its alumni. Among tho former ?ure to bo mentioned Maxcy, Cooper, Henry, Prestou, Thorn well, Elliot aud others, nud among tho latter, Petigru, Logare, O'Nooll, Mc Dullio-in short, a host of mighty mou who, while living, houorcd tho State, and who now survivo iu hor history. Let ?B take a glance at the old college, and .give a few facts, some of which I draw from Dr. LaBorde's History. The collego opened vith a Faculty of two Reverend Dr. Maxcy and Professor Han ford. Tho first student admitted woe the lato Chancellor Harper; and the first graduate was Audorsou Crenshaw. Thc oldest trustee now surviving is the Hon. Alfred Huger-darum et venerabile women; ..Xot unrenowned among tho most re? nowned," he has in his old age thal sweetest of consolations, a goori name. Tho oldest Professor now living is tht Reverend Christian Hanckel, who wai appointed tutor of mathematics in April 1815, aud elected professor in thc follow ing December. This venerable man uow at tho advanced ago of eighty, with th? blessings of thousands upon his head full of Christian hope aud trust, is calmly awaiting tho summons which shall cal him to tho world of spirits. Tho oldes living graduate is Dr. Thomas Smith, o tho class of 1811, nud now residing u Society Hill. Ho was a Trustee of tht collego, without interruption, for thirty eight years, and uevor, it is believed uutil within tho last three or four, dit he fail to attend a meeting. To few i the college so much iudebted, as throng! this loug period ho watched over it? iu forests with tho most affectionate dcvo tiou. Distinguished through life for lofty public spirit, for high moral quali tics, and no ordinary literary culture, th college points to him with pride as he oldest living alumnus. I know of on member of tho class of 1812 who sti! survives, Beaufort T. Watts, Esq., c Laureus. His life has not been au ol scure oue. At one time, Secretary c Legation to the Court of St. Petersburg at another, Charge to Bogota, au through a long series of years Executiv Secretary of the Commonwealth-thea are proofs of tho habitual trust and coi: fidenco reposed in him, and make goo his claim to an honorable remembrance I know of two representatives of tb class of 1813, General Jame.-, Gillespi and Dr. D. H. Trezevant; General G was loug a member of tho Board of Trw tees, and in that capacity rendered goo service to tho college. He is well kuow throughout the State, and no man enio\ higher reputation for all those virtue which mark the citizen and thc gentlt mau. Dr. Trezevant is now a leadin physician in Columbia, -where ho hi been practicing for half a contar Reaching thc highest professional du tiuction, and noted for every mani quality, tho collego would point to hil as oue of her distiuguished sons. Bt tho dead, tho deud! Oh, the long, lou list! Where is the mighty host wh carno forth from this nursery of grei men, and who once stood like a towt io nil its strength and beauty? thc have paid the great tribute to nature, I which kings and monarohs aro no le i'abject than their meanest vassals. The: renowned men are for us a rich inheri ance, and whatever mny bo future of tl college, tho State, Hafo in their fam cannot be robbed of that glory whit they have added to her history. Nor, we do our duty to ourselves, can wo 1 deprived of that measure of felici which survives all changes of politic institutions. "In every government, though terrors reigr. Though t, rant kings or tyrant laws restiai How small, of all that human hearts enduro That part which laws or kings can cause cure." Can it be that an institution which h accomplished so much good is now perish! I am no radical, nor carpet-ha ger, nor scalawag, but a native of tl State, a graduato of tho college, and Democrat, as the term is accepted Carolina. I claim to be as truly alive the interests of my State aa any mi within her borders; and if I give utt( ance to some opinions which may not 1 approved by all of "the true faith,' have to ask that they bo well considere It may give some additional value to tl paper for me to add, that I was a stud? in the timos of tho first President-tl good and gifted Maser, who died fifty ! Sin ago. The State is DOW go vor ned j men who aro objectionable to the great class of her whjpe oituens, and all ! of her institutions aro under their ma? nagement and control. Arnon g these is her cherished insButfpn of learning;* The fear has been lintelrtaiaed that the Fsordty would be "removed," and" the" TJni versffir con verted into a high school for the colored people of the. State. I will not deny that there was ground for the indulgence of these fears, and I have no quarrel with those who gavo expression to them. Let us inquire if they have "beoiTr?a??zed. "The salary of a professor, in the Act establishing the University, was fixed at SI,OOO; the present Legisla? ture raised it to. $2,000. Tho present Board of Trusteos bas not removed a single member of the Faculty, but they have filled a vacancy by the election of a gentleman of the highest professional reputation, who for a long period has been a favorito with the people of the State. It is, I believe, very well under? wood, that at their next mooting they will call to another vacant chair a man of distinguished scientific attainments, who has been a Professor in tho Medical College of Charleston for thirty years. The Professors LeConte havo accepted positions in the University of California, and the Stato has lost their valuable ser? vices, but it seems to bo the determina? tion of the Board to repair the loss, and so to organize the Faculty as to give to it tho utmost efficiency. One of the professors has just returned from the North, which ho visited with the view of making purchases to meet certain wants in his department, and tho funds were supplied by the Board. Liberal appro? priations have been made for putting tho buildings and premises iu order, and tho campus to-day is moro inviting than it bas been for many years. In this con? nection, it is, I conceive, no violation of propriety to add, that tho Trustees met the application of a retiring professor, a short time ago, not only with justico, but, as he himself remarked, with striking generosity, paying him for extra services, and giving his salary in advance to the 1st October. Theso facts aro men? tioned for a purpose; the people should know them. If the University is to die, it will die by other hands than those of tho present Board of Trustees. They have douo nothing that should close its doors against tho good people of the State, and justify a withdrawal of their support. I suggest, too, that something is due to tho Faculty of the University. From a sense of duty, they remained at their posts, and to this course they were advised by many of the lending men of tho State. They are gentlemen well known to tho people, and as jealous of tho honor of the University and of Ca? rolina as any other of her citizens. They are entitled to tho thanks of the people, and the censure implied in a withdrawal of their support is unjust and unmerited. With these facts, I make wy appeal to tho patriotism and intelligence of our citizens. Tho University can bo saved only bj' their patronage, aud this patron? age is to bo found in numbers alone. Thc crisis is at hand. A respectable cata? logue will bo followed by the usual ap? propriation. But if tho people will not send their sons, and seek other institu? tions for their education, then we may expect consequences whioh all good men must deplore, and which will bo embit? tered by the reflection that it was within our power to havo prevented thom. RUGBY. DROWNED OK SuniiTVAN's ISLAND. Yesterday afternoon a number of boys were bathing iu tho surf on Sullivan's Island opposite Fort Moultrie. While running about tho beach a young son of Mr. Jungbluth, of this city, was carried by tho tide beyond his depth and perish? ed before assistance could reach him. It is supposed that his body was carried out by the tide.-Charleston Courier. Bontwell laughs at tho President, who goes around tho country getting up balls for wateriug-plnco hotels, while tho Secretary of tho Treasury runs tho whole administration to suit his own radical inclination. Grant laughs at Boutwell, because he thinks he has a good joke on tho Secretary, in making him do all the work.-New York Democrat. Tho Lancaster Ledger states that it took the sam of $1,446 to pay off tho assessors of Lancaster County, lt is es? timated that the work occupied tho as? sessors 482 days at a cost of three dollars a day. Under the old State Government it cost about SOOO to assess and collect tho taxes of the County. Now it will cost 83,666. Tho Central Railroad of South Caro? lina will soon have a local habitation and a name. At a meeting held in Sumter on the 18th, the charter was turned over to thc stockholders, and it was stated that work would soon bo commenced. D. B. McLaurin, Esq., was chosen Presi? dent. Mr. N. Sargent, Commissioner of Cus? toms, has been looking up tho laws es? tablishing a seat of government for tho United States, and has prepared an articlo to show that Congress cannot re? move the capital except by an amend? ment to the Constitution. All tho Volloy of Yirginia papers con? tinue to complain of tho great drought. lu some sections they say they will not make a bushel of corn to the acre, and the heat is so oppressive that men aud beasts cannot stand it much longer. A conspiracy to assassinate tho Shah of Persia, originating in Constantinople, has been discovered, and the band sent ont to accomplish it has been arrested. Many eminent persons aro said to be implicated. Tom Davis, of Porry County, Mo., on tho 19th instant, shot and killed twenty nine coons from ono tree, and did not think it a very good day for coons either. Ice applied to a boo sting will knock tho spots out of it instantaneously. So says a man who sat down on a bee. A SINGULAR STORY.-The Washington correspondent of tho Baltimore Gazette furnishes that paper with the following political rumor: T rj A singular story is running the rounds of political circles itere, growing, per? haps, out of the extraordinary aud other? wise uuaecountal.de tergiversation of the Presidenten turning suddenly upon a party he had just himself formed. It is to the effect that tho Boutwell gang has promised, in consideration of Grant's total abandonment of re-election, to create for him a new military office higher than that of "General," under some new name to he hereafter invented,' and to include command over both sea and land-the salary to equul at least that of President, to be paid in gold and to commence the instant his present office expires. A proviso, it is said, is to bee added, in plain words, giving a clear field to gifts and donations, aud gratifi? cations, foreign or domestic. The only difficulty in the way of carrying out tho stipulations of this treaty, it would seem, is the possibility that Boutwell may himself bo defeated before the peo? ple and a Democratic House of Repre? sentatives installed before tho time al? lotted for exchanging the ratifications. HONORABLE JEFFERSON DAVIS.-The New Orleans Picayune has information that in a very recent letter Mr. Davis spoke of his health as by no means so precarious as has been lately represented, lu additiou to the foregoing, the Pica? yune has a copy of the Glasgow News, of July 29th, containing a report of tho "Highlaud Agricultural Society Show," in which it is mentioned that "special in? terest was excited auioug the spectators by the presenco of Mr. Jefferson Divis, the President of the late Southern Con? federacy, who drove nbout the grounds with tho Marquis of Tweeddale." Two colored men were huntiug iu St. Paul's Parish recently, when, us oue of them-named Jenkins-asserts, his gnu accidently went off, killiug the other, named Israel Wright. Foul play is sus? pected, and tho matter is to be investi? gated. IMMENSE SACRIFICE OF SPRING AND 1 SUMMER GOODS AT C. F. JACKSON'S.-In order to make room for our Fall Stock, I am determined to sell off Summer Dress Goods, Cassimere8 and Linens for geu tlemen's wear, together with many other articles, at aud below original New York cost, from this date. A21 12 There is no mistake about it. PLANTA? TION BITTERS will ward off Fever and Ague and all kindred diseases, if used in time. No family need suffer from this distressiug complaint if they will keep PLANTATION BITTERS iu tho house, and use it according td directions. The most important ingredient of this medicine is Culisaya or Peruvian Bark, which is known to bc the finest and purest tonic in tho vegetable kingdom. The extract of this Bark is tho active principle of all tho good Fever aud Ague Medicines pre? scribed by intelligent doctors. Calisaya Bark is used extensively in the manufac? turo of PLANTATION BITTERS, as well as quinine, and wo dare say they owe their popularity mostly to that fact. We can rccommeud them. MAGNOLIA WATER.-Superior to the best imported German Cologne, and sold at half tho price. A21J3 PRETTY WOMEN.-A comparatively few Ladies monopolize the Beauty as well as tho attention of Society. This ought not to be so, bat it is; and will be while men aro foolish, and single out pretty faces for companions. This can all be changed by using Ha? gan's Maguolia Balm, which gives the Bloom of Youth and a refined sparkling Beauty for the Complexion, pleasing, powferful and natural. I" Lady need complain of a red, tan? ned, freckled or rustic Complexion who will invest 73 cents in Hagan's Magnolia Balm. Its effects are truly wonderful. To preserve and dress the Hair, use Lyon's Kathairon. A17 J13 TAKE IT, TAKE IT ON, AND REEF A TAKING IT; reduce the dose so it acts as a gentle laxative, aud continue it on regularly. It is a tonic, and will strengthen you. It took a long time to confirm your disease, and you can't get well in a day. Simmons' Liver Regula? tor, if persisted in, will cure the most stubborn liver disease. There is no fail? ure about it. A21 {G WHAT IT WILL DO.-Judge by what it has done. Heinitsh's QUEEN'S DE? LIGHT. It has cured a sore leg of twen? ty-five years stnadiug. It has restored to health persons long diseased. It haa cured cutaneous eruptions, tetter, &c. It has cured the dyspeptic of his com? plaint of long standing. It has restored to life tho child supposed to be dying. It has produced a radiant glow on the female cheek. It has invigorated the feeble and languishing. It has imparted vigor to the young. It has vitalized the decaying functions of agc. It has puri? fied tho blood and invigorated life. It hns cured Liver Complaint and nervous disorders. It has proven to bo a great blessing to females. It establishes regu? larity of tho organs. It is tho lamp of lifo and way to health, and everybody should try a botte of HEINTXSH'S QUEEN'S DELIGHT. A14 WHY DO YOU COUGH?-When it is in your power to relievo yourself; a few doses of Dr. Ton's EXPECTORANT will euro you and allay tho apprehensions of your friends; moreover, it is pleasant to take, it produces no nausea, and strength? ens the Lungs and Throat to resist attacks in tho future. Mothers need not dread tho Cronp when they have a bottle of this valuable compound on their mantle piece. A21 6 Bocal It ?a XXL m . DEATH or A Lfc?iskAr?B.-Mr. H. W. Webb, Representativo from Georgetown, died on Thursday last, of congestion of the brain. AUCTION SALES.-We are requested by Mr. Jacob Levin, to say that he will sell this morning, at half-past 9 o'clock, in front of the Market, horses, wagon an 1 harness for tho United States Marshal ; aud immediately after, will sell, at the late residence of Mr. John Rawis, de? ceased, on Main street, next to PHOENIX office, all tho household furniture, &c. AND STrtiL ANOTHEB.-Our oldest citi? zens are rapidly being removed; during the last two months, no less than six or eight havo departed this life. We are now called upon to record the death of Mr. Robert N. Lewis, who, after an illness of several weeks, died last night. He was an upright, shrewd business man and had acquired a large fortune. Mr. Le\ 's had boen a resident of Columbia for Aiiany years. He was forty-nine years of age. FIRST BALE OF NEW COTTON IN RICH? LAND-IMPROVED MACHINES. -Yesterday morning, Mr. Richard O'Neale, Jr., had picked from his farm near Bonndary street the first lot of new cotton we have heard of in this County. It was ginned by Mr. Richard Tozer, at his machino shops, on ono of Gullit's steel brush gins; packed by one of the Utley patent cotton presses, at the machine works of Messrs. ! Glaze Ar Shields-the packing being ac? complished in three minutes, by two hands. By tho way, this "paoker" will be on exhibition, to-day, at the above establishment. The cotton was Rhipped to Messrs. Adams, Frost Sc Co., Charles? ton. THE UNIVERSITY HERE.-The commu? nication of "Rugby," in this morning's PHONTX, will be read with interest. We are inclined to think that the suggestion is properly made, that the University should not bo denied tho support of the you?ig men of the State, so long a3 the present corps of officers remain at their posts. Thus far, the Board of Trustees have laid no rude hands upon this old institution of learning, and if it can weather the storm and live on to dispense its benefits, it would be well for the causo of education in the State. The professors are well known to the State as true men, and so long as they find it consistent with honor and dignity not to abdicate their offices, we take it that no young mau can properly hold it inconsistent to take his place in the in? stitution.
