The land scrip appropriation (of the UnitetfpSfc^ was hypothecated in New ' IPOTk by Kimptou to bolet?r a loan, ami there it remains. The, fund provided by the munificence of 'the' late Mr. Peabody haS, ao far as we kriow, been jndioiously and honestly administered. Thift,is a matter about which wo can never become indifferent. A man is hardly more thin a half Uv man who is not educated. Training and education are as.necessaryi to him as food and drink. His moral and spiritq alllfe, the establishing of. hi? faith upon immova? ble grounds, the dovolopment of his hopes and .aepiratiqpa, hia intellectual comforts gud- ebjoyUiqnt^ the powor to sustain those cares.and sorrows which are the universal heritage aa well as the quaBfi?Jf>ni^iJ^*r3 V#i h^Mor entering any ol the thousand avenues of employment and- business, demand that his culture be not ndglectevl in child? hood and youth; : We are gratified to believe that onr people are not indiffer? ent to this great duty, nor insensible to its urgency. Improvement in schools is manifest on all hands. The successful k-establiBhmeh^ of the Methodist Fe " male College in .Colombia, under charge of Rev. Mr. Jones, the increasing use? fulness of the Columbia Male Academy, under control of Mr. Hugh S. Thomp? son, the numbers and progress of pupils in the Carolina High School, at Ander? son, presided over' by Messrs. Ligoo, Frioraqn and Ayer, and the brilliant suc? cess .of Bev. T. Ward White, at Reid ville, in Spartanburg County, and others that might be mentioned, attest a grow? ing interest in this cause, which it gives us rro little pleasure to note. As of the same character, and manifesting the same enlightened spirit, we may proper? ly recall to mind the liberal contribu? tions made in this State iu favor of the University at Sewanee, in Tennessee, in answer to the representations and appeals of Bishop Qaintard and General Ker shaw. The example of Mr. Peabody, in dis? posing so handsomely of a large portion of his great wealth in aid of the cause of edooation in the South, is one that can? not be too much commended. He has done immense good to mankind, espe? cially to the poor, both of England and this ooontry. He has transmitted his name to after generations, by associating ? it with their intellectual advancement, orowned with the glory and fresh with the fragrance of disinterested munifi oenoe. He was sagacious and honorable in accumulating his great fortune; he was wise and humane in disposing of it. We have the opportunity to-day of pay? ing the same tribute to Commodore Vnu derbilt, of New York, who has just given $500,000 to Bishop MoTyeire, of the Southern Methodist Church, to establish a university in Tennessee. The Board of Trust has been called to meet to-day, at Nashville, by Bishop MoTyeire, in order that they may report to the Board of Bishops, which is to meet in May, that this amount has been pledged. The College of Bishops oonsists. of Bishops Paine, Earley, Wightman, Doggett, Keener, Pierce, MoTyeire, Eavanaugh and Marvin. A half million more re? mains to be raised, and. loading Metho? dists of Tennessee tbink that it can be done without serious difficulty. Com? modore Yanderbilt has mado a noble gift for the noblest purpose to whioh it could he devoted; and the Methodists of Ten neascoaro to-lW oomta^ oafe good fortune which naa befalten taSr? ?ad the friends of education everywhere will take heart and oowege.

The ether gentleman return it directly to the Treasury, Which is.the more proper coarse. There it be? longs' and there it should go. We are pleased to dtyoniolo these exceptions. Tlie salary increase itself can hardly be upheld as necessary. and proper, but that it should be made to.apply to.exist? ing terms of service, then about expir? ing,, is.an abase of right, o. breach of propriety, a. U raus action altogether so questionable, as will cause the country to place it in' range with the Louisiana infamy and the Credit Mobiliar bribery affair. In the case of all who voted for it, 5.00 0 -additional reason a exist against their oontinnanoe in the publio service. Here is riohness for you from the Sa? vannah' Advertiser.' It relates that Mr. Montmollin, of that city, is onder some sentence of punishment for an alleged violation of the laws of South Carolina; that Mr. J. D. Robertson, whom it terms Senator, but who is a member of the House of Representatives of this State from Beaufort County, lately ap? proached Mr. Montmollin, professing himself to be thd agent of Governor Moses, with a proposition to dismiss the case, if he would fork over to him $500. Mr. Montmollin very naturally showed him the door, aud subsequently had him arrested for a libel in connection with this same case, and bound over to appear at the criminal teim of the court. The Adeeriiser represents J. D. Robinson's face as wreathed in smiles, his voice mel? lowed aud softened as it conveyed Ibis dishonest proposal. We think wo see him, this man whose speeches in favor of reform were always oontradioted point blanc by his votes. Will Mr. Robertson explain this new effort of his to abate the rigor of the criminal lawn of the State? or will Governor Moses ac? knowledge him as his plenipotentiary to our sister city of Savannah to settle by acceptance of douceurs tho injury done the majesty of these laws of a sovereign, Radical, Republican State? The "ConfederateChiefs."?A Radi? cal paper, having asked a certain ques? tion, the Tribune, of New York, answers it, and a very effectual answer it is, too? short, sharp and to tho point. The question was as to what use the "Con? federate chiefs" were making of the olemenoy of the Government, the Radi? cal paper, of course, presuming that the party to whioh it belongs had the right to exeroiso a general supervision over these gentlemen, ns if thoy were a parcel of school boys. The Tribune thinks, in answer to tue query, that "the chiefs" are engaged in trying to secure a re? spectable livelihood. Mr. Davis is pre? sident of an insurance company. Mr. Stephens is writing for a newspaper. Messrs. Beauregard aud Bragg superin? tend street railways, Hood is a cotton factor, Hill keeps sohool, Ben. Hill praotioes law, so does Semmes, Forrest keeps a livery stable, H. Y. Johnson is a planter. Other names and avooations are mentioned, but these are enough. ?--?-?-??

"Tho oirotrmntances of the case tend to arouse grave suspicions, that the master, his wife and child, and perhaps the chief mate, were murdered in tho fury of druhkenpess by the crew,, pebo. had' evi? dently obtained aooess ' to tlie-alcohol with which the vessel was in part laden. It is thought the vessel was abandoned by the crew between the 25 th of Novem? ber and the 5th of December, and that they either perished at sea, - or more likely escaped on board of some vessel bound for Borne North or South Ameri? can port, or West India island. "When discovered, the derelict vessel was thoroughly sound, with tbe excep? tion of tbe bows, which had been in? jured by some sharp instrument. Bhe was well found and provisioned, and no reason for her desertion was apparent. A sword, with the appearances>ef blood thereon, was on board, and marks of blood were found upon the sails. "The vessel's documents and chrono? meter have not been found, baft almost tbe whole of the personal effects of the master and his wife and child and of tbe crew were discovered in good condition, and books, trinkets, gold lockets and female wearing apparel of superior qua? lity were left untouched,in tho cabin.
