EDUCATION.

An education is young mans capital; for a
well ell,informed, intelligent mind has the best as
surance of future competency, and happiness
A fathers best gift to his child, then is good
education. If you leave them wealthy, you
may insure their. ruin at the best, you only
leave themthat which at any moment may be
lost
7 Hyou leave them with cultivated heart af-
fections trained to objects of love and excellence,
mind vigorous and enlarged finding happiness
pure and elefated, in the pursuits of knowledge,
you effect an insurance on their cfter happiness
and usefulness. Unless you bring up the young
mind in this way, you cannot with any justice,
claim for its inspector independence. Your
children must be virtuous, or they will not de-
sire it. They must be intelligent to have them
intelligent associates as they must have habits
of ofndustry and sobriety to make the company of
the Industrious and sober agreeable :, -
1t is in your power to bestow this virtue, this
intelligence, and these golden habits Present
them good model in your own life And give
them every opportunity to cultivate the heart
and the understanding. Spare not expense on
your school, and put into your children's hands
every thing that may encourage or assist them
in their mental or moral improvement.

70 the Trustees of The CokeSbury Female School:
The Board of visitors selected to attend the
late examination of the young ladies of the
Cokesbury Female School having discharged
that duty, beg leave, respectfully, to
REPORT.
Their presence OH that occasion has been the
source of the highest qualification, and it affords
them the greatest degree of pleasure to have it
in their power to bear testimony to the high
character Of the School, and the exalted claims
which it is Justly entitled, on the confidence and
support of its friends and patrons. The winning
address and gentle manners which characterised
the department of the young ladies, indicated
the happicst disciplinary training not less than
the brilliant specimens of intellectual attainment
which shone so conspicuously. To particular
ise, is not the design ofthe Board, nor do tn 8
wish to draw invidious lines Of distincton-suf-
flee it to say, that the familiarity exhibited with
the various branches Of study covered by the ex-
animation, reflected the highest honor on the ac-
complished lnstructess, and the most distinguish
ed credit on the young ladies' themselves. The
Geographical attanments of the younger portion
of the School could not but strike the Board
as surprising T9 ytnsSS sn g. EsmA1Eass s a de
more advanced in age and attainments. That
expectation, however, SO far from meeting with
defeat, was more than realised. In the de-
partments Of Botany. Philosophy, Mathematics
and Languages, French the result was in the
highest degree lattering, and not surpassed by
any thing ever witnessed by the Board. They
would not overlook the highly interesting mus
cal performances which enlivened the whole
course of the examination. The dulcet notes
of the Piano, accompanied with the highly cult
yatad tomas of femo 10 yoce and tho meltinr tida
of song as it rolled in thrilling effect from the
strings of the Guitar, touched by master hand
awakened sensations not soon to be forgotten by
the tasteful admirers of musical excellence
and the. well known accomplishment of the
head of that department were exhibited in
manner the most impressive and commanding.
In word, as the result of their visitation, it is
the decided impression of the Board, that the
Cokesbury Female School is not surpassed by
any similar intuition in the country and that it
cannot share too largely the confidence, or be too
highly recommended to the patronage of the
public.

CONGRESS.

WeTefer or readers to the correspondence
of the Charleston Courier for Congressional
news The Exchequer bill was still under dis
cussion in the Senate on the 5th inst las the
scheme in its present shape, meets the views of
neither party, there is not much prospect of its
receiving the serious consideration of Congress,
or of IT'S being referred to any committee.
In the House, onthe same day, Mr.. Adams
kicked up'a9considerable dust in relation to abo-
lition petitions. There was some sharp shooting
between Messrs Arnold of Tennessee, and Prof
fit, Of Indana-the latter declaring that unless
he was protected by the Speaker from such at
tacks as those made on him by the former, he
should protect himself and come to the House
armed for that purpose.
On the 7th, the House went into consdera-
tinn of bill introduced on the day previous, to
authorize the issue of five millions of dollars in
Treasury Notes for the immediate relief of the
Treasury. This, our readers will recolcct was
the plan recommended by Mr.. Calhoun during
the discussion of the loan bill of the extr.
session, and had that course been adopted we
should not have heard the dolcful lamentations
OF our whIg brethren, about an empty Treasury
and starving office-holders.

WEDNESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 10, 1S4s.

TThis being the season when people in gen.
eral and printers in particular, are called upon
to pay their bills, we would most respectfully re-
quest those indebted to u.s. to settle their dues as
soon as practicable. BY so doing, they will not
injure themselves, but will greatly benefit not
only US, but those to whom we are indebted.
We have not been in the practice of dunning
our patrons every month or two, and would glad
ly refrain from it now, but we have money to
pay and no other means of raising it than by COL
lections from those indebted to us.
To those who have paid us, We return our sim

have not done so, we recommend an immediate
fulflment of their intentions To those who in

ROYAL WAYS OF THE BoURBoNs.

We happen to have full accounts of the way
of living of the royal family in the days Of their
prosperity, as well as of their adventures when
adversely overlook them. Up to the time when
the duke of Normandy was four years old, life in
the palace was as follows:-The oldest men,
bers of the family were the kings aunts, the
great-aunts of the duke of Normandy. There
were four sisters, all unmarried One of them
had gone into convent and found herself very
happy there. Aft er the dullness of her life at
home, she quietly enjoyed taking her turn with
the other nuns in helping to cook in the kitchen,
and in looking after the linen in the wash
house. Her three sisters led dreadfully dull
lives. They had each spacious apartments,
with ladies and gentlemen sshers to wait on
them, and reader to read aloud so many hours
a day, and money to buy whatever they liked
But they had nothing to do, and nobody to love
very dearly. They were without husbands and
children, and even intimate friends; for all
about them, of their on age and way Of think
ing, were of rank too far below their own to
be made intimate friends of. These ladies duly
attended divine service in the royal chapel, and
they did great deal Of embroidery and tapestry
work. When the proper hour came for paying
their respects to their niece the queen, they tied
on their large hoped petticoats, and other ar
ticles of court-dress, had their trains borne by
their pages, and went to the queens apartment
to make their courtesies and sit down for little
while, chiefly to show that they had right to
sit down unasked in the royal presence. In a.
few minutes they went back to their apartment
slipped off their hoped petticoats and long
trains, and sat down to their work again. They
would have liked to have taken walks about
Paris and into the country, as they saw from
their windows that other ladies did, but it
was not to be thought Oft would have been too
undgnifed so they were obliged to be content
ed with formal, slow, daily drive, each in her
own carriage, each attended by her lady-in wait

Is the subject matter of much speculation among
the friends and foes of President Tyler 1t is pretty
apparent by this tme that the President if traffic,
is the boldest sort of one The Wing majority in
Congress might well give up their heading opera
tons for they must be satisfied nop, that Mr.. Tyler
will not yield hairs breadth of the prerogatves
which the Constitution has conferred upon him.
Well President Tyler has vetoed the Twelve Line
Bill. What Is TO be the consequence? For part,
we devoutly hope that Congress will do its worst.
We hope that the scaly folds of faction will now be
all uncoiled that the country may what hideous
and dangerous monster it is. We hope every treach-
erous friend of Mr.. Tyler may now start up open
enemy. And then hope that Mr.. Tyler may
stand fall the strength weakness of his posi-
ton. Let every man who feels the truth of those
doctrines which drew from John Tyler three vcoes,
come up and help him. No matter what may be his
name, no matter what are his personal political sym
pathies If he approve of President Tylers course let
him take hold of The work in right good earnest Let
US all stand up sh, uder TO shoulder, and surround
our patriotic President with the shield of Peoples
protection.
1t is an honor to fight under such leader. John
Tyler las fixed himself upon the old democracy of
the Virginia school, and no power earth move
him from his position. Let Clay get up his Tariff
panic if he can. Let him dodge The Bank subject if
he can. Let his partsans get up their cry full
of sound and fury" All this will lot stir John Ty-
Ter from his position the solid rock of democracy.

THE TEMPORARY TARIFF BILL VETOED

In our paper of to-day will be found the Presidents
veto of Mr. Fillmore's 'little Tariff bill" From
the nature of this bill Git having connected with it
the subject of Distrlbution it generally expected
that the President would withhold from it his appro-
VAL and therefore little excitement was mani
tested when the fact became known to the public 1t
is apparent to the most casual observer that the
iority in Congress expected different reception Of
the Veto They anticipated it would raise storm that
could not be Gained. In this they have been sadly
disappointed. The people will not condemn without
cause-they will read the Presidents objections to
the bill--they have not been idle spectators. They
have watched the Of their representatives for
the last six eight months and they know that they
have abused their trust. They know too that the
Executive has time after time urged upon Congress
the necessity of doing SOM thing to the credit of
the country, and restore it to its former prosperity
The majority turned adeaf to his entreaties, and
treated lis recommendations with contempt. The
Both of June at hand, and some action must
be had upon the tariff, or goods would be admitted

ro9 the present laws for laying and collecting duties
imports, connected with which the sub
ject of Distribution Ga measure which it we'll
known the President could not approve) was hastily
passed and sent to him for rejection. He vetoed it,
exp cted by those with whom the bill orgina-
ted and they reoced that they had they supposed,
at length ''headed Captain Tyler" To effect this
and to repeal the proviso in the land bill which for
bids distribution, in the duties upon imports
raised above 20 per cent, they would sacrifice the
tariff bill, any other having for its object
the good of the community at large
1t is well known that the President is in favor of
Tarit-one that will provide sufficient revenue
and at the same time protect, to reasonable extent
our manufactures.-Such an one could have been
passed IN foryeght hours at any time since the meet
ing OF Congress. Let Congress abandon President
making for time at least, and pass a tariff bill,
without reference to distribution, will meet public
appreciation. This is required at their hands, and
must be accomplished.
We commend the message to the attention of our
readers. 1t is brief, but to the purpose and should
be read by all
