Nurder.-The dead body Of Mr.. John
Hunton, was found on Saturday last, con
cealed in the woods, three miles from this
place, and $50 yards from the road. The
skull was broken in, apparently with an
axe. Some planks Of n wagon, on which
were blood and brain, were found near The
bndy, as also were wagons tracks, in
which the corpse had evidently been con-
veyed TO The spot.
The murdered man left this village in
company with his suu. on Friday evening
last. and when last seen alive. was me,
about one hundred yards from the spot
where the wagon turned oul of the road.
Ascoroner's inquest was held. al which
many circumstances (that public opinion
may not be made up OH the mater, we
deem it improper TO detail bere.) went TO
fix this shocking crime upon The son. The
coroner's jury accordingly found verdict
Of wilful murder against the son, who has
been arrested, and is now in jail in This
place. We understand the lad is about ! 5
years Of age, although no one al frs, glunce
could suppose him 10 be more than ten or

PHILADELPHIA. Oct. S.


1mmensr Destruction Of Property.--Las'
nigh. and this morning, Philadelphia was
visited with one of the most destructive
fires IhaI has occurred in this city for years.
The alarm was given at half past eleven
O'clock; 10 the effect that Mr.. Prescolt's
large provision stores, on south wharves,
between Market and Chesnut streets,
were on fire; and within len or fifteen
minutes, The building was il mass of flame,

Education.-In another column Of our
paper, will be found some extracts from a
Lecture on Education. by Theophilus
Fisk" Many Of The remarks ofrhe writer
are just, and merit deep and careful con-
sideration. The subject of which he treats
must ever be one of great interest, and
primary Importance. Unfortunately. il
has been 100 much neglected by our politi-
clans, and men in authority. The educa-
lion Of the people, has not been sufficiently
attended to by the Stale Governments.
Very little has been done for the promotion
of'his great object. Schemes Cor the mere
increase of national wealth. and The ad-
vancement Of national glory, as it is called.
have tuo long occupied the public mind. #
the energies of the giant intellects, which
have heen SO long employed in the promo
lion of mere internal improvement in our
country, and in uopiaD plans Of wealth of
countless number, had been bought even
partially 10 bear in favor of the great
cause Of the education Of The people, what
mighty results would not have followed? d?
What a different aspect would our country
have exhibited at the presen, moment?
Ignorance would not, as now, have stalked
abroad throughout our land, but would
have re,reated ino The inaccessible wilds
o. our distant frontiers. Schools and Col.
leges would have been established in every
District. and iu every neighborhood,
throughout the States. The stream Of
knowledge would have flow ed freely. and
boldly, throughout ,he vast exten, of our
land, and all would have come up and
drunk Of its healing waters. The educa-
lion Of the people imperaIvely demands
The attention ofour rulers. They will pot
they cannot longer neglecr it. They
must be up, and doing-they must labor
strenuously in this mighty cause. and glory
will be theirs. We h"pe yet to see the
day arrive, when Education will diffnse it's
benign light far abroad. and knowledge
will be brought within the reach of the
poorest aud the humblesl in the land.

HEALTH OF AUGUSTA.

IF we cannot say to our absent friends,
that the fever has a5alcd in the city-our
list this morning gives the gratifying intel

ofSubjects, than from any favorable change
in our atmosphere since our last notice.
We are still without rain .and until we have
enough 10 cover the bottom of our river,
(which. for the most part, is now dry.) it
will not be prudent for our absent friends
TO return to the city. As soon as we get a
