Tho Public Schools.

The speech of Mr. Marks, which we publish to-
day, fully meets the statements of the Delta Fthe
citizens dsapprove the manner in which the
schools have been managed by the dominant party,
we say by all means turn out their candidates.
The cause of public education is of more impor-
lance than all the other questions put together.
We deny that the Directors have ever pursued
the system of espionage and petty tyranny de-
scribed by the Delta, and we defy it to produce a
resignation caused by any such course. Its own
favorite, it seems had no such objections to make
and we are sure that gentleman so highly gifted
the Delta describes, would not have asked to be
continued in situation which exposed him to
such dishonorable treatment. One number of the
Delta filled with abuse of the Board for declining
to select particular teacher, and another number
is filled with abuse of the Board for its conduct,
which has led to the resignation of the best teach
We think the fact that the gentleman, who
has so long held office under them, was an appli.
cant for longer service, is the most direct contra
deton of the Delta's accusation
As to religious intolerance, we have found it in
our experience that those are the most strenu-
on the subject of religious liberty who have no
religion at all in practice, and whose zeal for the
rights of conscience depends the personal capi-
tai they can make out of it.
We have observed that the most noisy advocate g
for Southern rights have been those who never
owned a slave; and so in religion--those are the
most ardent champions of religious liberty, whose
lives and manners indicate the absence of all reIi-
giois principle

SMALL Pox IN MoBILE.-The Register and
Advertiser are in dispute about the extent which
this plague has reached in the city of Mobile

occurred about month ago. There have been
seven cases in all at the Pesthouse-six negroes
and one white person. OF these, two have died
and five still remain there This was the extent

private practice, of which the Advertiser had nc

The Delta has not presumed to point out where
that Committee was deceived. By sweeping

the Committee of ignorance and stupidity. 1t puts

CREvAssE IN THE Town OF PLAQUEMINE.
Mr.. T. j. Spear has just returned from Iberville
Parish, where he was successful in stopping the
crevasse. 1t was 200 feet in length, with fall of
six and half feet. Mr.. Spear commenced work
at such distances as to embrace 44O feet within his
trestle.work. Thework was accomplished in three
days, by twelve carpenters and seventy.fve to one
hundred negroes, and fifty thousand feet of lumber.

The Star gives a detailed account of an ineffec-

dered out in chase of the robbers, but they had
taken fast flight.

thirty buildings in the principal part Of the town.

gres, together with the Captain Of the band Of
Chilians who robbed the specie train, some time
since, have been tried, found guilty, and are to be
shot about the 5th April. No doubt exists as to
the certainty of the fate of these men. They are
confined in the calaboose, heavily ironed and we'll
guarded, day and night Their dreadful fate is
therefore sealed.

LATER FROM CHILI.-News from Valparaiso to
the 25th December last, have been received at San
Francisco.
The most important news is of great fire in
Valparaiso. 1t broke out on Sunday morning De-
cember l5 in little cigar shop, in the Gale del
Cabo, corner of the Gale del Cochrane, and was
not extnguished until it had swept the street on
both sides, destroying some thirty.seven houses,
shops, etc., and about $500 900 worth of property
The Valparaiso papers are rejoicing in the pros
pect of German emigration into the southern
part of the Republic.
The Chlsn Congress, at former session, placed
at the disposal of the President, $4,000 acres of
land, to be donated to foreign colonists who would
settle upon them but this quantity is SO far from
being sufficient, that the Government now asks
Congress- to pass general bill allowing vacant
land to be given to any extent which may be me-
cessary.
The Chilian wheat crop is decidedly promising.
The grain is now too far advanced to suffer from
rust, and the crops will be, it is expected, very
abundant, nearly three times the usual quantity
having been sown.

rcputed faithful and brave soldier, and much
esteemed by his officers obtained leave one night
to ramblc out of the camp, and as he passed by
a farmers house, cock, and hen turkey were
sitting on the fence.
The cock agreeable to nature, gobbled at him
Paddy caught them both and brought them to
the camp without injury.
The owner followed, and entered complaint
against him.
How said the president, SIS this, Jenny, that
you have stolen the mans turkeys?
Jenny denied stealing them saying,
My captain knows we'll that have been
good friend to my country, and could never bear
the name of torey and as was passing by the
mans house that 7ed-headed bast stepped up and
calls out tory, tory, tory, and would not bear
it at his hands, SO took and brought him to the
camp for trial
Well says his captain, but you have brought
the hen, and she has done no crime
'Ah! but says he she was the only witness
had against him
The witty turn Of Paddy so pleased the court
martial, that they paid the owner for his turkeys,
and gave them to Jenny to take and punish in
his own way.
