Kentucky.

The Louisville Journal says, the report lately
made by Bishop Smith, relative to Schools in
Kentucky, is incorrect, and that the number OF
persons unable to read and write is greatly exag-
gerated, and that there is such want of schools
and Of teachers as is represented. As a proof Of
this, the Journal says:
o'The report represents the whole number OF
children at school, in Jefferson and Louisville,
as only six hundred and twenty-six. Now, the
truth is, the number of children at school, dur
ing the current year, in Louisville alone, is two
thousand and one hundred, and the number at
school, at this time, in the city, is thousand
three hundred and sixteen. The whole number
at school in jefferson and Louisville during the
current year instead of six hundred and twenty
six, is about six times that number: three thou
sand seven hundred and twenty-slx.
ssThe bishop states the number OF teachers IN
Jefferson and Louisville at thirty-one. Now the
number Of teachers IN the public schools of Lou
isville alone is twenty-eight; and we have thirty
five private schools in the city, all OF which are
we'll supplied with teachers. The total number
Of teachers in Jefferson and Louisville is, I'M
questionably, more than hundred"

The editor of the Pilot regrets the necessity of
announcing the temporary suspension of the
daily paper. The daily has beenpublshed at
serious loss, and the weekly has fallen of so
much that the profits on the country does not
equal the loss on the city subscription. Arrange
ments are in progress to revive the daily, and TO
secure its permanent success. During the sus-
pension, the subscribers to the daily viii be serv-
ed with the weekly paper.
The editor is gratifed to have it in his power
to say that the subscription to the weekly is
equal TO the actual cost Of publication, and
that the assurances daily received from inRuen-
tial parsons, that they Will exert themselves to
obtain subscribers warrants the hope that it viii
soon be so much increased TO justify the ar.
engagements contemplated to increase its useful
ness
The editor takes this occasion to say that he has
devoted himself to the in which he is enlist
ed to the prejudice ofhs private interests and that
fer some time past, and for short time yet to
come, they will require much of his personal at
tenton; but that he hopes soon to resume his du-

MAMA A PoTU.--The .Neto Orleans Plea
altle, after some thrilling remarks the aw-
full misery to which men subject themselves by
seeking oblivion from care in the artificial ex-
hilaratisn Of spiiitous liquors, addsthe following
dreadful description of person whom the editor
had seen rendered demoniac by excessive intoxi-
cation:
''By an accident we yesterday stood, with
chilled veins and starting eyes, witnessing a
spectacle of this kind. We were in company
with physician at a moment when he was call
cd upon to administer relief to the victim. In a
corner of the room we found the tortured wretch,
crouching and peeping fearfully through the
rungs of a chair, at a swarm OF flying snakes,
which he said were dartiRg through the room in
all directions. Bloated terror was in his eoun-
tenance. He sprang freD the corner, and flew
from one position to another IN agonizing alarm.
Devils were pursuing him behind, before, above
and below, and all around him, objects of terror
and danger appeared, and instruments of death
menaccd him every hand. His eyes seemed
starting from their sockets His EXPLANATIONS
were so full of misery that the heart aehed, to
hear them. Then, again, his fit assumed another
form, and he ran about the rOsm, jumping over
chairs, and calling to us TO see him walk upon
the ceiling. Then he raved for liquor, screamed
aloud, cursed the world and his own existence,
demanded brandy with wild and furious gesticu-
lations, and again sunk into grief and tears,
complaining that all the world was leagued
against him, and even devils were employed to
prosecute him. Suddenly he fell into sort oil
waking trance. He was lifted on the bed, and
there he lay grasping at the air, with such hor-
rible contortions of counte nance as made our
flesh creep upon our bones. The unfortunate
wretch has recovered, as our friend the physi-
clan, declared danger to be past when we left
him; but who may form a conception of his an
guish endured during that horrid paroxyism?-
Years of the severcst trials and misfortunes
should be considered luxurious case in compare
son.with one hour Of such frightful torment o.
soul and body. If the condition of eternally
condemned spirits may be revealed to mortal
comprehension, surely the miserable victims o.
this malady experience some foretaste of the
sinners doom.n

From he Men Orleans Bee.

A month and more has elapsed since Com
gress assembled, and yet bat little progress has
been made in Che transaction of public business.
One-third OF The session hes already gone by
only two more months remain; and from the
slownesss ofmovements, 1t seems hardly PROB
able that any measure of deep and general III
terest will be consummated. 1t was hoped
that, after the election was over, the admins
tration party would turn its attention to the
enactment of measures calculated TO restore
sound national currency, to revive commerce
and trade, and improve the condition OF the
country generally. But there is nothing in re-
cent demonstrations to encourage such hopes
The establishment of the sub-iIeasury seems
TO have fulfilled the highest ambition ofthe par
tv, and they intend to leave ii as legacy TO
the country when they go out OF power we
question very much whether the present ad-
minstTation will make any exertlon to further
those measures ofpublic policy indicated by the
late expression of the popular will. Thus far
an obstinate adherence to old errors, which the
voice of the people has repudiated, character
yes its course Bills have been brought before
Congress relating to most ef the subjects on
which the public now feel la strong interest, but
the opposition they will meet with from Exec
utive influence, may be expected to defeat their
passage. =,
We are inclined to the opinion, that, until
the fourth OF March next nothlng Will De done
in the way of legislation. 1t will be left for
another Congress to regulate the equitable
distribution Of the public lands-to pass a
Bankrupt Law-to repeal the Sub Treasury.
and substitute in its place something that will
restore and sustain sound currency. When
ever General Harrison comes into power, we
have no doubt that these are matters which
will claim the first attention The disposition
of the public lands has long been question OF
deepest interest, and the time has now arrived
when the good of the country requires speedy
adjustment, on fair and equitable principles
The necessity for the passage of general
Bankrupt Law is rendered more urgent and
imperative, from the ruin which the late moneta-
nv and commercial crisis has brought, upon the
country Our ysed of better currency has
been declared by The people inlanguage too PLAIN
to be misunderstood. Indeed the people have
spoken plainly and forcibly, on all the great
leading measures to which allusisn is made
Nevertheless, the present party in power show
no disposition to obey the popular voice. The
same course of policy continues to be upheld:
and it is much to be doubted whether any change
for the better will be effected until the induction
into Office of the Farmer of North Bend on the
fourth of March next
