Health of Columbia.-We took occa-
sion, last week, to contradict report
which we were Informed was circulating
IN The country, that our Town was very
sickly. In confirmation Of mha, we then
said, we have now to add. that AT the
weekly meetings Of the Lodge OF odi
Fellows, which is comprised of over l50
members, the question is invariably asked.
ifany Of the Members are sick. and du-
ring the whole summer but t'ro cases have
been reported, neither Of which were
either Of very serious or orePldemic char
as;er. We give this As remarkable
proofof the general health Of our town,
and repea, wha, we have already said
.,ha, tits unsurpassed by any one we have
ever known. and its ci'izenS have great
cause OF gratitude to the Source of all
Good, for the health they enjoy al this
moment. while much sickness prevails IN

answer to these inquiries have been omitted:
Inv the commissioners of the various parishes.
in their reports to the Secretary Of state /; We
merely say that if submitted to him, the fact
does not appear in his report; so thatihere y
a dereliction from duty some where--either|
with the secretary or the commissioners. !
But the secretary cxculpates himself trous
this charge in the following paragraph iig
says: :
II look in vain for any particular account oe
the system of education adopted, or the books.
in use. In many instances the administrators
are without means of giving correct information
from the reulissness of some OF the trustees, i
and the whole matter-the state ard condf.
ton Of public schools, appropriation and bene..
fit arising from the distribution OF y45,O0o ing
the State 10 oJ unknown to me as to any otheS
citizen" !
This is a curious statement II embraces
enc Of the most "left-handed' compliments tS
the rulers OF our State, that we ever:saw paid
to any government! Think of it reader: tht
men at the head Of affairs in Louisiana, pal
out near fifty thousand dollars anGlally, fs
one object, and at the end of the year, not !
soul Of them is found able to inforIA the PED.
pie of the actual disposition Of their money!
whether it has been appropriated 10 the dig.
semination of the principles Of virtue and ~
tolligence, or squandered to promt to vice ais
veil ignorance! The entire blame for this RI.
missness cannot be charged against the trut.
tees aud commissioners, no more than it CIR
be charged against the teachers an9 ~chilarell
The heads Of the government--ths governEl
and secretary of State--are the MEN whcs:r
the people most hold accountable for tiIi
neglect. 1t is their duty to see the trusts c'si
fided to subordinate officers fulfilled. Ixs
master who neglccts to look after his oversee
may expect that said ovarseer will neglect III
negroes, and said negroes his crop: and thSt
in the time of harvest, there will be no off,
to give a proper account of the ;nanner sr
which things have been conducted on tIt
plantation.
The secretary suggests that hereafter flt
police jury of each parish shall besrequire4tt
raise from said parish a sum eqilivalent..t e
that given it by the State. Thiss is a g.ot
suggestion, and would, undoubtedly tendst'
interest people more generally in she subjsc
of public schools.

REFoRT OF THE SECRETARY OF STATE on
PUBLIC scHooLs.-This report affords conclu.
sive evidence (if such evidence were wantingl
of the wretched administration of the public
schools in Louisiana. Out of forty-one pa.
rishes, the following fifteen only have COM
piled with the law by sending in a statement
of their condition, and Of the manner in which
the money received from the State, has been
applied. viz:
Natchitoches, Tberville, Union, East Baton
Rouge, West Baton Rouge, st. James, Cald-
well, 81. Tammany!s Washington, St Helena,
jefferson. Rapides, Poin,e Counee, Plaque
mines, and Catahou ia.
Nor does it appear, from the report of the
Secretary, that these parishes have discharged
properly the duty in question. The extracts
given from the reports received, consist in
frite denuncsations cf the existing system, (f
there be any such thing as system existing in

EURorE.-The intelligence brought out

so varied as might have been anticipated.
The most important item, is a slight I'M

to bar the benefit which might flow from this
fact, the money market was less easy.

boat. The French chamber Of Deputies
have assembled. The complaints OF the
poorer classes in England continue, while
hopes of the ultimate alienation OF their
distresses, become more feeble as the glory

days mail from Washington, give nothing
particularly new. The trial Of Mr.. Adj
