The BRIG Attentive, Grozier, sailed from Matanzas
for New York with cargo of moIasses, sugar and
coffee, on the NOR ling of the 22d instant. In six
hours after leaving the port she was captured by a
piratcal, black topsail schooner, of two long guns
and about fifty men. The crew, with the exception
of the CAPTAIN, wa. driven into the torepeak. The
unfortunate Grozier was soon after heard to groan
heavily, and distinctly to exclaim twice" God
hare mercy on my SOUL" The crew was then call
ed up, one by one, and butchered in detail ! The
second mate, Alfred Hill, concealed himself below,
and the pirates installing the number OF their VIC
tins, neglected him. About dusk. hearing no NOISE
he ventured upon deck, and found the vessel aban-
doned and scutled her lumber port had been Tor

! We make few extracts from the Delaware Jour-
nal calculated to show the Importance OF general
| system of education upon all classes OF the commu-
nity It'll with great satisfaction that we observe
that the legislature of Delaware have passed law
for the establishment of Free Schools in that State.
We congratulate the friends Of public intelligence
that they have succeeded in dispeins the mist
which prejudice and ignorance would cast over this
important subject. Expense and inexped'ency were,
as they always have BEEN the objections used by the
opponents Of this system. The advantages OF Free
schools are not properly appreciated in this country;
but we hope soon to see the subject taken up with
energy. Spread the light OF science, extending the
blessing of education to every mans child IN the
land, and our march to greatness is sure and unal-
terable. The true secret of our power lies IN the
attention paid to education, and 1t may with truth be
said that our common schools are the magazines In
which are manufactured those weapons which are the
best defence of our liberties. 1t has been emphat-
really said, that knowledge is power-lt IS also
wealth. improvements in agriculture and IN the
mechanic arts will be the consequence Lands Will
rise in value The morals of the people will be I'M
proved vice will be restrained, and our citizens Will
become more intelligent and contened. The hu-
man mind must be employed, and if it be not stored
with proper information, calculated to make Its pos
SCISSOR wiser and better, and therefore happier, 1t
will descend to subjects grovelling and sensual
- prompting to acts degrading to humanity, and
productive Of misery and poverty"
