The Cause of Education,
MeckIenbnrg Division Room,
June l 1851.

Mr.. Editor II is surely a source of graf.
ihcaIlon to every one who loves the cause Of
education to know tha, It is fully appreciated
and sustained by any community. In the
estimation Of such an individual the Acade.
my is next in importance to the Church.
But il is especially gratifying to see this
cause resivng and advancing wrh a firm
and bold step in part Of the country in
which i, was before almost neglected. Il,
may truly be said, tha; the character Of the
schools in a neighborhood is a certain index
Of lis state Of intelligence. Ii these be Eng.
lish entirely they are better than none and SO
far as they 60, evince regard for the i'm.
provsment Of the mind and the respec'abilily
which education confers on members of so,
cie,y. II the schools are either altogether
classical or mixed, they indicate a still high.
er degree Of regard for the worth and beuefi,
Of mental cultivation. When an inferior
teacher is employ cd at low consideration,
he is better than none if he is digent in the
duties Of his calling. Blu, when people take
special care to select competent and supe.
rior teacher and give him a liberal compen.
sation for his faithful and laborious services,
there can be no longer doubt as to their
high regard for The value of a sound and use
ful education.
We are happy to be able to state to the
public that there are excellent classical A.
cademies in the Southern part Of our county.
Without solicitation from any quarter we
take the liberty Of, recommending them to
the generous aud liberal patronage Of the
friends Of education. We have no personal
interest in either Of these Academies, and
have no motive to state anything in regard
to them except desire to promote the good
and important cause.
Within the bounds of Sharon congr egalion
Mr.. kirkpatrick has established an Academy
which is in furnishing condlle n and will
standard Of Intelligence. Having acted for
several years as Professor ~ Davidson Col.
lege with dignity, acceptance and usefulness,
he has opened classical Academy which
offers fiatteIing opportunities to the young
Parents and guardians would do well in pla.
eng their children or wards under his care
and instruction. They may feel assured
that he is fully qualified and possesses a fond.
ness for the work IN which he 10 engaged.
aud lha, he will perform his duties with Fl
deity and success.
But there is another Academy to which
we would call attention. There is a sufficient
number Of children and young persons in the
congregations Of Sharon and Providence TO
supper, both these Academies without inter.
ferng or clashing with each other. Mr..
Kuykendall, formerly of York District, s. c.
has established on Academy in which he
teaches the English branches and the classics.
His long experience in teaching, the rspu,a.
,ion he has acquired. and the high character
which he sustai0s as q gentleman and schel.

The appropriate and handsome manner in
which the PRESIDENT of the United States
replied to the many addresses that we're
made to him, during his recen, vsi, 10 the
North, gives US very Gvorable idea of his
abilities and discretion. These addresse.
were made ~ithou, previous notice, and the
Pie'Idents responses were impromptu and
yet they we're sll well expressed and to the
point. We learn, also, thai the persona
bearing and department of the President
throughout the entire journey were such as
to command the respect of all who saw him,
and IN many Instances TO make hi warm
friends. We are not surprised at this, be.
cause all who have approached Mr.. Fillmore
since his accession TO Office, have united 10
their testimony as to his courteous manners,
and the sauviiy und proprie,y of his inter.
course with his fellow ,citizens. He wins
golden opinions from all who have business
with him, or who call upon him to signify
their respect for the office he holds or their
esteem for hun as q man.-Ahr. Gazette.
