Educated foreigners who visit this country soon
discover the leading causes of the superior neli-
gence. skill and independence of our mechanic and
working classes compared with the same classes in
any country in Europe. The public schools prepare
our youth for reading, and investigating, and the
cheap press ayekens and stimulates the desire for
knowledge. The cheap press is the great EDUCATOR
OF the people. 1t brings every variety of knowledge
within their reach and gives activity and enoymen,
to all the faculties Of their minds Mr. Whtworth
IN his report on The New York Industrial Exhibition
published in the London Times, thus speaks of our
free schools and of the cheap press
1T rarely happens that workman in the United
States who possesses peculiar skill in his craft is dis
qualified from taking the responsible position of SUI
perintendent by the want of education and general
knowledge, is frequently the case in this country
In every State in the Union, and particularly in the
North education is, by means of the common schools
placed within the reach of each individual, and al
classes avail themselves of the opportunities afforded
The desire OF knowledge early implanted is great
y increased, while the faculties for diffusng il arc
amply provided, through the instrumentality of al
most universal press. No taxation of anv kind ha:
been suffered TO interfere with the free developmen
of this powerful agent for promoting the integenc.
OF the people; end the consequence is, that where
the humblest labofer can indulge in the luxury O
his daily paper every body reads and thought and in
telgence penetrate through the lowest grades O
society. The benefits which thus result from be
raj system OF educauon and cheap press to thu
working classes of the United States can hardly b.
over-estimated in national point of view but it j.
to the cooperation of both that they must undoubt
eddy be ascriEed. For if, selecting a proof from
among the European States, the condition of Pruss:
be considered, it will be found that the people O
that country as body, have not made that progress
which, from the great attention paid to the educato,
of all classes might have been anticipated and th
must certainly be ascribed to the restrictions laid I'm
on the press, which have SO materially impeded tn
general advancement of the people. Wherever edu
cation and an unrestricted press allowed full scop
to exercise their united influence. progress and i'm
proVement are the certain results; and among th
many benefits which arise from their Joint CO. onara
ton, may be ranked most prominently the yalu
which they teach men to place upon intelligent con
trVances, the readiness with which they cause ne,
improvements to be received, and the impulse who

We understand that the splendid new Steamer
North Carolina, named in honor of our own State
and so favorably known to the travelling public at
Ter having undergone various improvements and al
terations has taken her station again the Bay
Route running in connection with the SesIboard and
Roanoke Rail Dad from Norfolk and Portsmouth 10
Baltimore, leaving Portsmouth Tuesday Thursday and
Saturday evenings, Immediately after the arrival OF
the cars from Weldon. We have been informed by a
Judge of such matters, that the North Caroan is,
now one of the finest boats that gided over the
waves of the Chesapeake; her accommodations have
been added to, with all the modern improvements OF
the day, and she easily accommodate 25O
passengers, with elegant state rooms and comtorta-
BILE berths; her commander Russell, and purser AS
prell. are too we'll known to the travelling public
without our adding word of praise in their behalf
we bespeak for her therefore fair share OF the irav
Cling nublic Weldon Patriot.

The New York Journal of Commerce remarks
that from all accounts Russia never before had any
thing like the naval armament she now has In the
Baltic. The Swedish papers report that as many as
30 900 Russians were employed in cutting channel
through the ice from Cronstadt to SveabOrg, the OBJ
ect as is supposed, being to collect the ships al a
protected spot. The main attack of the British IS
expected at Cronstadt but all the places along the
coast are being strongly fortified Of Prussia Den
mark and Sweden, the other three powers 10 whom
the Baltic seaboard belongs, Sweden and Denmark
are actively arming, and among the people OF Swe-
den there is great enthusiams for war; and says an
account if you ask with whom, the answer ready,
q Swedens born enemy is-kussia." The Journal
says that Prussia neutral though she processes to be,
is said to have engaged to give succof in her Baltic
porIs 10 British ships which must expose her to the
displeasure if not the wrath of Russia, while, on the
other hand, should she close her ports against them,
she will The risk Of provoking the hostility OF the
Western powers; and with the BrltIrh fleet hOmbar-
| ding her in the Baltic, and French army invading
her on the Rhine, her case would, indeed be despe-
