vidual taxpayer, will aggregate an-
nually a large and potent sum, and
confer incalculable advantages in So
cial position and intelligence upon
those who arc now either destitute of
needful instruction, or whose parents
are struggling with desperate enc-.
gy against poverty and want to give
them tho education Of which they
themselves had been deprived.
10 give efficiency to any system,
a permanent fund should be created,
the accruing interest on which alone
would be devoted to that purpose,
and this fund should be increased
with all proper rapidity from year to
year. How to raise this fund is
subject for. thought with our legisla.
tors, and little attention could not
fail to develop a satisfactory plan for
the attainment Of an end so much
desired. Taxation for the specific
purpose would operate lightly on
each citizen, and yearly additions
from the profits Of tho bank would
very much facilitate the accumulation
of the requisite amount. Of course.
the results for several years would
not be very striking, but SO long as
they were progressive they would be
satisfactory to the taxpayers, as
great future benefit could be antici.
pated; and the incipicncy of the or
ganization would afford time and cx-
pericnce for the adjustment Of details
of the greatest usefulness.
We are satisfied that sum little
larger than that now annually fritter-
cd away, under an approved modern
adjustment, would be of vast adyant-
age to the youth Of HE State, if the
usual il.tegtsty which marks the exc
ettiea of public trusts in This STATE
Mas Z ST. sssesas1o5ng,ft into activity. IT Is no
answer to say that the present sys-
tenn !s the bcs. adapted to our sparse
" populated country, and that the
proper attendance in many localities
could not be had to justify the em.
ploymcnt of teachers; for VIC would
answer that in our cities, towns, and
villages, and other well pcopled Vi
cinages, the first schools might be
opened the entire year; and then, in
other places, for portions of the year,
and such portions only as would be
adapted to the accommodation of
children as to their leisure from farm
or other labor. Such difficulties
have been surmountcd in other
States, AID there is no good reason
for snpposing them insupcrablc here.
We leave the subject here, and
invoke to it the attention of those
members Of our Legislature who aim
rather to be useful than great, and
promise them that memory to be
coveted will survive the protector Of
thorough system Of common-schocl
education in South Carolina.

IN A DUNGEON OF TIE pUNTA CASTLE,
HAVANA, Nov. 81, 1851.
To the Gorernment IF he Umhca States ot
America and 10 my .jtii"sr. connsrymsn
An American citizen, deprived of
liberty and denied justice, respect
fully bess leave to lay before you the
following facts and appeal:
Upon landing from the steamer
Georgia, on the 10th of October last,
I was suddenly, and without previous
accusation, arrested and taken to the
office Of the Police. On searching
my person, and that Of a gentleman
who accompanied me, no papers or
letters of any kind were found upon
either of US. We were then taken
to the hotel where l boarded, accom-.
panied by tho chief Of police, who
demanded to be shown my room. On
ascertaining that had no room there,
we were taken to my residence, and
all my papers seized. The gentle
man who was with me, was then put
at liberty and all my books
and papers we're taken to the resi-
dence of one Of the Police Commissa.
ries, where four days were occupied
by the government interpreters in
reading my letters.
On the 21st Of October I was
thrown into dungeon of the city
prison, and all communication with
my friends strictly prohibited. On
the 25th | was removed to my pres
cnt dungeon, and the Fiscal of the
military tribunal made its appearance
and began a judicial examination.
On the 2Gth this was continued, and
then / saw no one until the 4th inst.
when the questioning was proceeded
with-and on the 9th | was again
questioned, and Gnaly informed that
I,Vas accused Of Treason. At the
same time, was required to select
one from a list OF officers that was
presented to me, who should conduct
my defence. Not knowing any Of
them, | chose at random, supposing
he would consult with mo aud my
legal advisers, as is usual in such
cases, in regard to my defence. On
the 7th inst. / was, for tho first
time, allowed to sec my friends, and

From the South Curolinian
Education.

The present defective common
school stem Of this State has been
subject Of complaint for many years;
and not a few arc Of opinion that the
annual appropriations made for this
object are but a waste of the bounty
Of the State. Without pretending
to determine this question, we are
free to confess our belief that n better
could be devised, il proper attention
was given to the matter by the Lc-
gislaturc. Aware c'that many impor-
,ant interests are to be adjusted du.
ring tho present session, we yet be-
licyc that something like reform

lead to advantageous legislation here.
after, by which a system Of education
commensurate to the necessities Of
the youth Of the State might be per.
mancntly established.
There is no reason why South
Carolina should be behind hcr sisters
in her common school facilities. =
Shc is the equal Of any in her ar.
rangemcnts for thorough educational
purposes, and ahead Of nearly all in
those institutions adapted to military
instruction; and wherefore should shc
be laggard in that system Of popular
instruction., which, while it abstracts

EsetaIintory Legislation.

Ret;,Iintory Legislation.
We alluded recently to the bill of
which MIR. Poppcnheim has given no.
tice of his intention to introduce into
the House Of Representatives. This
| will only be one OF a series of meas
urcs which we presume will be offer
ed in the Legislature, in counter.ac-
ton of the Legislation in the North
obstructing the recovery Of fugitive
slaves. Our attention has been call
ed to a bill introduced by j. B..
Campbell, Esq, at the last session,
but which, from the want Of time,
was made the special order for Mon
day next. This bill provides forre-
c!amation on the property, of any
kind, found within the linits of this
State, belonging to citizens or inhabi-
tants of any other State wherein ob.
ssruction is made to the recovery Of
any fugitive slave o: slaves escaping
from South Carolina, after demand
has been made upon the Executive
Of such State, and not complied with,
for the surrender. Of such slave or
slaves. The right of creditors in
possession for advances made on such
property, are protected in one of the
clauses in this till.
This description Of rcprisal prores.
scs to be within thc4proyision Of the
constitution of the United States.
Mr.. Poppcnheim's bill ccuntevvails,
with regard to those provisions, on
the admitted principles that the vio-
iatIon of compact on one side re.
leases the other. In relation to Mr..
Campbcll's bill the farm Of retalia.
ton varies from that which appears
on the face Of Mr.. Poppenheiua's
proposition fer redress, bnt sudstan.

sails. Whether the property of the
citizens Of the offending State is ,a-
ken, as in Mr.. CampLcll's bill, after
compliance with certain legal pre-
requisites, or access is denied to any
court within the limits Of South Ca.
ro'ina, for the legal recovery Of debts
due sAch citizens, they both find ins.
titication in the law Of rcprisal. Be.
tween the seizure Of property and
the con!iscation Of debt, or the deni-
al Of its recovery by law, which is
the same thing, there can be no cs.
scn'Ial distinction, although there is
no formal or express violation of the
Constitution i'll one OF these modes.
Which shall be adopted may become
a question Of cxpcdicncy, il there is
a choice between them.
We only speak in relation to the
princlle Of Mr.. Poppenheim's bill.
not having seen lis detoiis. But it
is evident that all remedies Of this
character are in reality beside, and
no. within, the Constitution, however
surrounded BY legal forms. The
party rcsorting to them mus. be pre-
supposed to stand in the relation Of
States which fall bac!: on the princi
pies Of the international codc-on
the rules Of lmmutablc right and CO.
equal justice. Ii is il contemplation
Of these rules that property is leci.
procally protected, whether under
Federal compact or National treaties.
The foundation Of both is public faith.
This violated on either side and spo.
liation cusucs, the law of rcprisal
steps in to redress the wrong and
restore equality TO the parties.

sa John S. Thrashcr is now in solita
nv confinement at the MUo Castle,
i'll q small dark dungeon, on The light
hand side of the entrance to the
Castle. lie is there under sentence
: OF eight years to work III chains at
Ccuta in Africa. The Government
will probably hurry him off by first
vcss-!, which will be by the Spanish
steamer Caledonia, on the 4th of Dc
ccmbcr. Here ends one Of the most
htrocious acts that has ever been
committed i'll modern times by Go.
vcrnmcnt on an individual belonging
to another Government, who are at
peace with one another. An Amcri-
can, whilst in pursuit Of his business,
is arrested, confined in solitary con.
fincment nearly three weeks, is hen
brought up for trial at u drum head
Court Martial The case. as made
out by the Queens lawyer. is read to
q court Of seven military officers, who
arc in u room above, whist the pr;s.
oncr is below under guard Of sol
diers; after the reading, the prisoner
is ordered to be brought up, and
without hearing word that las pass
ed, is asked, what have you to say
for yourself? His reply is: l do
not even knowsof what | am accused
II have not been allowed u lawyer
or counsel to. see The charges, so as
to prove my innocence Of all and eve.
.ry charge against me, which is entire.
ly against the l;sys Of this country
against tic treaties wi,h my, country
against justice and humanity, and
therefore | solcmnly protest against
this court and all the proceedings
agalnst me, and demand that | have
cpanse who shall be made acsf,,aint..
sdof tie charges against me and to
prove my innocence. At this he was
sinsulted by the President of the
Court, Brig. Gen Varscs, in the most
overbearing language, and ordered
back to his dungeon; and a few days
after, the Fiscal comes to him and
reads the sentence approved by the
Auditor of War, because the ''c,imi-
,nal'has not disprovc,l the accusations,
i&c. also, by the Captain General
