den shall be granted to all deserters now in the
United States. This will, It is thought recall
some 1000 men to the British standard, upon
the following reasoning ~
"The deserters In the States are reduced to a
condition Of slavery, being put to the lowest
drudgery, and denied any credencc in court
of Justice. Their word, like that Of a slave, is
Of no value, and they cannot recover any COM

Queens deserters, or tell whether an freshman
had carried musket or hod before coming

The Fourth at Berkeley springs.

The Baltimore Clipper has an interesting &C
count Of the celebration ofthe Fourth at Berke-
ley Springs, from which we extract the follow
ing:
After the matter Of refreshments had been at
tended to, the crowd were again called together
TO hear national, and truly inspiring ode, sung by
Mr.. Davis OF New York, whereupon Alex X
Boteler, Esq, mounted the rostrum, and perfectly
enchanted and electrified his audience for the space
of an hour. A more effective and mastery speech
speech more fully baptized with the spirit Of
genuine cloquencc, and warmed with the fire and
genius of orstory, was scarcely ever listened TO in
this country. High as Mr.. B. has always stood In
the estimation Of the people here ~ an able and

and shoulders higher than he ever did before He
literally beat himself to-day. E4

ties from the American army passed several times
during the night, without being perceived, though
il was bright moonlight. This was owing, no
doubt, to the cannonade and bombardment of the
town, from the opposite quarter by which, also,
the whole surrounding country was thrown into a
state Of painful expectation and alarm. The ope-
rations we're conducted by Gridley, an experienced
engineer of the old French war, and before morn.

A SCHOOL TAX.

1t will be seen, from the sheriff's advertisement
in this paper, that the voters Of the county will
be called upon to decide, on Saturday, the Sd Of
March, if they will tax themselves for school pur-
poses % cents on the poll, and % cents on the
thousand dollars. The taxable property of the
county for the year. has not yet been returned but
the aggregate wil be, fpoIs about $500; and the
value Of taxable property S2O,OoOO0O. The tax
on polls would, therefore, realize S875, and that on
property IS coo; total, 81, 875, to be distributed
among the civil districts Ike other common school
money, according to scholastic population.
For the last fifteen years, one of the most inter-
esting questions before the Legislature, has been
the adoption of better school system. The con-
test about the manner in which the fund should be
distributed had defeated any action until the last
session Of the Legislature, wheL law was passed,
giving authority TO the county courts TO raise a
sum not less than the one now proposed in this
county, two-thrds Of the justices concurring and
submitting the question Of the tax TO the people,
when less than two-thr5s Of the Justices vote for
the tax. It seems that two thirds Of the county
court are no, in favor Of the tax, and the question
is therefore submitted TO the people. We have
confidence that they will decide it right The most
profitable investment which can possibly be made,
is an investment in common schools, to educate
al he children Of tie people We trust that Da-
wilson county will do herself the distinguished
honor te vote this tax, a. we should feel heartily
ashamed to be obliged to chronicle different re-
suit
1t is urged by some, that the money now distrib-
uted by the State for common schools does 10
good It certainly does less good than so large
sum ought 70 do; but one great reason of its in
efficiency hasbeen the factthat it costnothng Peo-
pie are apt to think that that which costs nothing
is worth nothing. Let the people be called upon
10 pay for system OF common schools, and nobody
need doubt that the people viii see that they have
good system. ard avail themselves Of It's adyan-
tsges.
We want to sec Davidson couuty-~the capital
county-sst good example in this matter to the
other counties Of the State, and we repeat the
preston OF the hope that the small tax proposed
will be voted by the people.
