nave not the teachers for the schools, but, above
all, we have not the men TO put the schools in

Louisville has the honor of being the first city in
lhe West to start system of common schools.
This was done under the influence and guidance
oil New England MELT has been kept up for
twenty years under their superintendence-it is
so extended thatlt is annually impaIting its ben
efts TO some four thousand children. Not a hun
dred votes could be obtained in the city for its
abolition. Yet, it is the finn conviction Of one
who has been intimately acquainted with II for
ten years, that, If the Northern men among US,
were TO withdraw from il their gratuitous super
vision and care, il would, in a very few Yeas,
die out of inanition and neglect. II is one of
those small kind of public concerns which our
Virginia stock have not been trained to IN early
life, and therefore deem beneath their attention.
This is but one of the many illustrations of the
erroneous structure Of society where negro slave
n is part Of the structure. The nch are not
brought into sufficiently near contact with poor
men to feel their dependence on them OF elicit
sufficient active sympathy for them. The gen.
eTal policy Of all the slave States is TO let every
man do for himself and TO take care OF himself;
there are no general provisions IN and OF the
masses nothing TO call forth and combine their
small means for even their own general benefit.
Nearly all local public trusts are conducted in
the most sothful and sloyenly manner. Roads,
bridges, and public edifices all speak in most in
telligible and unmistakeable language. The
most casual observer and inattentive traveller
cannot cross the line from slave into free
State without being struck with the contrast in
ali the elements oil visible prosperity. II is the
contrast between sloth and premature decay and
all the active hustle of thriving industry and
rapid improvement in all the elements of
States well-being and prosperity. Ask the
cause of the contrast, and there is one uniform,
invarable answer from all men of intelligence,
'that it is TO be found in the system Of negro
slavery"
Can il be that the poorer class in this State do
not yet understand this matter-that il has yet
TO be explained TO them? What is to be the ef-
feet Of that explanation when they shall receive
il? May it not be that, in driving this matter to
extremities, the pro-slavery men have reckoned
too much upon the force of mere blind, popular
prejudice, and that, whilst they themselves are
keeping so careful and exclusive an eye TO their
own supposed peculiar interests, the great ma

Departed this life, in this city. on Monday
evening last, Mas. HANNAH ID. SHRKvE, aged
fifty years, wife Of L. l.. Shreve, ESQ, and
daughter Of the late Col. Robert Andrews, Of
Flemming county.
In the decease Of this excellent lady, the So
ciety Of Louisville has sustained very heavy
loss. For a long series Of years she dispensed
the most elegant Inequalities with a liberal
hand, and was very extensively known, and res
pected wherever she was known. II was her
lot. while in the enjoyment Of all that affection,
friendship, and wealth could bestow, to be
marked out by an insidiOus disease for its VIC
tim. For ten years, under the alterations Of APP
prehension and hope, she gradually faded away
into the land Of shadows, and when, at length,
death came, she met the dread summons with
all that courage and com?osure which chris
tanity alone can inspire. Generous, eonfiding,
and affabls, she won tbs esteem and love Of very
wide circle Of friends, whose melancholy plea

the inroads Of most fatal disease. II human
sympathy could tighten the load Of affection,
then the manly form Of her husband, now borne
down by the weight Of grief, would be relieved
Of its burden, and those relatives and friends.
who feel the bereavement most deeply, would
cease to sorrow. But she who was so fOndly
loved has vanished from our midst, and the
memory Of her virtues Is all that 10 left to her
survivors; in the hearts Of many Of whom that
memory will be cherished as q treasure more
priceless than pearl. as future years 60 by.

We are gated to state that the bill providing for

line passed the Commons on Thursday evening last.
and has become law. In the Senate, this bill was
pressed with great zeal by Mr.. Thomas of Haywood
and in the Commons it was advocated by Messrs.

friend of the measure, would have spoken in its
favor but for indisposton, which prevented him from
doing so. .-Hs@ - f9i
Upon the third reading of this bill in the Commons
the majority for it was much larger than for any other

COL. GEORGE BOWER.

The last Raleigh Times containsa letter purporting
to have been written in Sury County, in which a
most unwarranted attack is made on Col. Bower,
because he has thought proper to vote against certain
projects of Internal Improvement. We shall not dis
gust readers with extracts from this letter.
shall We attempt any thing like a defence of Col
Bower against such attack. Neither this scribbeI
the Editorials of the Times affect him where
he is known; nor can any thing which may be written
here or elsewhere, produce the conviction on the
minds of his people that he has not honestly endeav
ocd represent their interests and carry out their will
And now suppose, that for the purpose of Gdrunc-
ing the great cause of Internal Improvements, we
to turn round and attack, in the same spirit,
such gentlemen, for instance, as Messrs. Thompson
of Berthe, Smith of Herford, and Halsey of Tyrrel,
who voted with Col Bower against the Central Rail
Road. Would that be keeping the question of State
Improvements out of party politics. We shall do no
such thing. We respect the opinions and the posi-
ton of gentlemen of both parties who feel compelled
to oppose, at this time, any thing like general
system of Internal improvements; and claiming the
right for ourselves to pursue such on this
subject as our own judgment may dictate, should
be less than man If we did not accord the same
liberty to them. The Editor of the Times processes
to be very desirous that men of all parties should
rally to the Central Road, and that all should espouse
the cause of State Improvements and though Wings,
as well Democrats, have spoken and voted agains
the scheme, he has invariably singled out gentlemen
of the latter party the objects of his denunciation
and abuse We leave that Editor in the hands of his
friends. They can See, as well as we can, how
unjust and mprudent his course in this matter has
been; and if they cannot put him in the right path,
and learn him to do better for the future, shall
give him up in despair. ~. .s...
