"I wish to leave and go away."
"Where would you go?" Hayiiau replied,
"I'd go and dwell in Butler's hide;
For base and mean as is iiis soul, '

And plunged the dagger in his side.

Educntio:uiI Association oftiie Confederate
States.
To Teachers and Friends of Education in ih
Confederate States of America:
We ha ve been appointed to make to yon the
following statement:
In accordance with a call issued by the
Cfntn 1 A ? 1
wiuwawiti /i53uuiHiion or i^iort'li UBi'olinft ,
a higiy respectable meeting of teachers and ;
friends of educat\pn met in Columbia, South j
Carolina, on Tuesday the 28th of April. Six
States were represented in meeting, about seventy
delegates, and a permanent National Association
was organized, having for its object
the pro notion of the great causo of education ,
in the Confederate Stales.
One of the most important subject before
the meeting was the supply of suitable text
books for our schools, and it was ascertained
that many works are in course of preparation
by citizens of our country, and that a number
of elementary books have already been published,
and are in great demand. The Assciation
deemed it of vital importance to encourage,
by all means consistent with its character
and object, such useful and patriotic enterprises,
and pledged its members to the use of home
works in preference to any others of equal
merit.
To widen and strengthen the 'influence of,
the Association it was recommended to form
State Societies with similar objects, in each
State of the Contederacy; and a resolution was
passed urging on the authorities of the several j
States the importance of State system of public
schools, and flie appointment of a superintendent
in each.
It was also recomended that efforts be made
to educate for teachers worthy young men disabled
by the war from lUMnual labor, and
means were adopted for the dissemination of
the views of the Association on various subjects
connected with the purposes of its organi,
zation. It is believed that if the hearty co-operation
of the teachers and friends of education
in all parts of the Confederacy, in carrying
put the objects of these movemens, can be secured,
an immense amount of good can be ac
complislicd. Our Association was profoundly impressed
with the belief that now is the time
to work; and that whatever is demanded by
the wants of the country, sliouid he undertaken
at once, and without waiting for better times. 1
Bct'.cr times, by the blessing of God,.ate to
bo expected only from the diligent exertion of
all classes in their appropriate spheres for the
public welfare; and after those who labor in re
ligious things no portion of the community
can accomplish more for national development
than those who, under Providence, direct the
hearts and minds of'liie rising generation.
We need not suggest to yon the great advantages
in work of mutual counsel and co-operation.
By coming together in National and
State Assoations the teachers and friends of education
gain important i information of each other
and learn the wants and progress of different
sections; they animate and encourage one
another to greater efforts, while by this means
injurious prejudices are worn away, a national
and catholic spirit is fostued, an ' 'educational
forces of the country are so u. r >d arid directed
as greatly to onham e their influence
and to secure that respect and consideration
which they deserve.
In the name of our National Association we
invite vonr attention to the above statement
n:d suggestions, and we venture to express
tk >::e that yon will 11< ;?111y aid in promo
t; . 1 iefulness of ihe movements now so
cc' . cA V inaugurated in ?ur hefoved county

meantime you are invited freely to communicate
with those of us who reside in your respcc- J
tive States and thus to enable us, if von cannot

The Free Market of Charleston, one of the noblest
ami most useful charities extant, after more than a
twelve itouth of successful operation, is in danger of
.suspension and even linal stoppage. It is an insti ution.
f uuded by private patriotism and benevolence,
"eiidor.-ed by the city authorities of Charleston, and
recognized and encouraged by the Legislature of the
State. Its great and hign'y useful purposes is to supply
provisions, free of expense, to the needy fanulias of
soldiers and seamen, lighting the battles ol their country,
or dead in her service; and upward of eight hundred
famil es depend on it-bounty for their daily bread.
It has become a great public necessii.. and it is the
duty of eve13* christian and patriot, male an 1 female,
rich and poor, young and old, .to coiitr.bute to its support.
in p oport.ou to mean- and bilit}-?the rich man
out of h s wealth, the poor man out of his poverty,

this gr at reservoir ol patriotic benevolence, to be
di pem-ed in God-ble-sed bounty :o the wives aid
children, the widows and orphans, the sisters and other
female depen ents, of our brave soldiery and senmen.
The filial stoppage, or even the suspension, ol
this charity \v< nld 1 e ei.e of the direst calamities hat
could befall our City and -eate ? i would inflict dis

and deep disgrace. Come, then, fellow citizens,
to the rescue, promptly, liberally, efficiently,.and not
only save tlie Free Market fiom destruction or suspension,
bu?sustain it. in healthful vig. r, as a God blessed
and man-blessing institution. Let donations in
money and in kind pour in lavishly from every quarter
of the City and .-tato; and the consequences will
be happy indee d. Not only will bread, and meal, and
meat be -ustainingl}' furnished to soldi, r's and seamen's
