PRoeREss OF CIv1LIzAT1oN.-We
quote from the Herald of the Eighth
month, the following editorial article which
shows the progress made by the Colony
IN chrIStiauiZing "the heather round
about"
I'VE have heard but little recently of
| the qoGrs III OUR VICINITY. We know
not whether 10 attribute this apparent ces-
sation Of hoslilliies 70 a want OF means
on the part OF the beligereEts, or 10 a
disposition 10 come to an amicable ar
rangement. Perhaps wearied with the
late unusual efforts, medltating deepest re-
! veuge, they have retired from the conflict
merely to gather strength to burst with
Renovated vigor Oh their detested foes -
which may Heaven forfend From the
soretehed system hitherto pursued By the
eoto"ast<, the actual Produet.ons Of the
colony are inadequate to its support.
The altentIon of the natives the past wear
has been so exclusively occupied IN pursu-
tng and being pursued, that tn v have
raised absolutely NOTHING for themselves.
Thus, instead Of being able to furnish the
colony with the accustomed quanlum of
rice and cascade, they will have to share
10ath 1t, either By fair or foul means. They
will probably purchase as long as they
have the wherewithal, which will be too
short for our farmers good, and then they
will bel p themselves by nocturnal UisiLs
to the ~nencLosed farms; which, help it,
who can. We yesterday heard an indi-
vidual complaining that some person or
persons. to complainant unknown, had,
without his consent, uncelemonioussy un-
burdened his farm of about $500 worth
Of produce. This early beginning is
omiuOus Of business on large scale"

/ We must, however, be permitted to Ut
ter one complaint. and that is with regard
to the want of school at MiIIsbnrg
There is goodIy number Of children in
THAT settlement and its vicinity, growing
up in ignorance for lack of teaching
BY way of squirting our energies and
making us feel we have something TO do
In the matter, the Board of Managers,
with their accustomed hberaIitv, agreed
to make up our deficiency in supporting
a school in each settlement Things
went on smoothly for while. until we
got sag in the disposition Of the funds
raised in the colony. Then some of our
sage counseIlors, thinking tina: the rising
generation could be better lat least more
economically taught by intuition or in
the school of inspiration, BY one sovereign
vote piled up the money, till then allotted
to education, in rock and rotten timber,
for a CoURT HOUSE. The rock, from
its imperishable nature, still remains a
monument of anti-intelligence but the
timber, achere Is 1T? Verify. could our
will prevail, we would pile upon these
gentlemen all the consequences of their
sage enactment"
