applause of most intelligent assembly, entirely
capable If discerning aud appreciating genius, in
every walk of art. The sincerity of its applause
was evident aud must have been gratifying to Ma
dame Sontag. The rich meifuous voice OF Ma
dame SITS wide compass, its exquisite moduia-
lations, the delicious sweetness and perfection of
her cadences, and the refinement of her taso and
execution, were all happily displayed. we have
heard her in opera; but we were no: less pleased
with her Thursday night. Suffice it to say, that she
excited the highest degree Of enthusiasm in her au-
dience, and that her brilliant genius and eninent
Accomplishments were fully appreciated. seve-
raj times she compelled to appear thrice be.
fore the curtain to acknowledge the plaudis of her
auditors.
That noble child Of genius, PAUL JULIEN, com.
manded his. full share Of applause. The audience
fell IN love with him evidently. The ladies in the
house would have been delighted to kiss the little
fellow. He is SO artless-so confding yet SO gem
tie free from every trace of boldness or concet
Hh Is sort of beau ideal of genius embodied Young
Julien is prodigy, and yet such is the rnasteriy
skill of his performances, SO harmonious, clear
and perfect all his movements on the violin so per

cease to regard him as a prodigy, but look upon
him as master. He is decidedly superior to any

Education, North and South.
UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA.

| The Richmond Enquirer has recently pub
lished the impressions of an accomplished
Frenchman, in respect to the distinctive cha
racteristics of the people of the two sections
Of the Union, and also on the educational
systems of the Northern and Southern States
lie remarks that the defects in the Col
ieges ami Universities of the Free States are
very striking that Harvard University is
merely what would be termed High School
or Academy in France; that their system
aims at graduation of very large number,
without regard to sound scholarship and his
impressions are that such is the fact in most
of the Northern Schools.
This observing and intelligent Frenchman
observes that education is but the preparation
OF the mind for the comprehension of truth
and the great first foundation stone in Great
ing an intelligent and useful mind. is to rem
der it disinterested. This opinion is that the
great leading characteristic of the Northern
people is selfshness; and that the character
istics of the people of the Southern States are
disinterestedness, generosity, civility. 1t is
therefore easily perceived how the education
of youth in the Northern States insults him
for Southern life and Southern customs. The
writer proceeds to pay high, and as we
conceive, a justly deserved compliment to
the University of Virginia, of which he thus
speaks: Really, after having examined the
organization of most of the literary insttu-
tions of the world, / must state it as my con
viction that Mr.. jefferson, in planning and er-
ganizing the University of Virginia, accom-
plished greater work than has ever before
been completed by any man who has given
his purposes that direction. The grade of
scholarship is vastly superior to that of any
school in the United States. The graduates
of the University of Virginia are the most
thorough scholars in this country. Indeed.
you may be surprised to learn it, bat many of
them would put to shame those whom we call
men Of letters, even in France. | venture
the opinion that, without any accident, half
century hence, and they will be regarded
more favorably in the world of letters, than
Cambridge or Oxford
This is high praise, but it is most justly de-
served. Yet the University of Virginia, with
its ligh standard of scholarship, with It's SUI
perior system of instruction and the most
learned corps of instructors in the United
States, is spoken of contemptuously in the
North as "Mr. Jeffersonts 8 School," and even
our own people, until lately, have sent their
SONS to Northern Universities, and neglected
the noble institution at their. own doors
Thank heaven, that silly and suicidal prac
tice is beginning to cease; the Southern peo-
pie are at last exhibiting their selfrespect in
deeds as well as words and the University is
swelling in numbers with unpreced ented IA
pidity. It is destined to be the first of Anne
rican Universities.
