| EDUcATIoS.-The great leading error O
modern times is the mistaking cruditon 60,
education. Education is the leading human
souls to what is best, and making what is
best out Of them and These two objects are
always attainablc together. and by the same
means the training which makes men hap
plest in themselves also makes them most SER
viceab|e to others. True education, then,
has respect, first to the ends which are prt,-
pos Iblc to the man, or attainable bv him j:

nan is made. So far as it is able, it chooses
the end, for the position of many persons in

can do is 10 fit the one to the other us wisely

SIR received Your written comnunica-

time after it appeared in the .'nuze papers -
No official infornatoi Of my election to n
seat in the Thirty fitN Congress of the Uuitcd
States has ct been furnished, and You will
pardo Inc for suggesting that perhaps YOUR

premature action
In December next shall probably receive

a certificate that the honor of representing the
Thid d District in the next Congress has been
conferred on me by the people. In that event
please observe that you and the corrupt min.
ions of the present condemned Administration
are not only invited but dared TO contest my
right to the seat. Should you or they attempt
to carry out your Wanted designs, promise
the country record of one Oft the most corrupt
and dlsgraceful outrages THAI have ever been
perpe.rated upon the American hallot-box.

- Erastus Brooks. of New York, has as
sailed the private character Of Mr.. Fremont
during the campaign, with f,rocity and
malignity never before heard of in American
politics. lie has exhibited himself as utterly
wanting in all that pertains to gentlemanly
bearing as politician. He has forgotten
his manhood for the sake of defeating one
whom he knew to be an honorable man he
has even DETAINED the character of the dead,
and unblushingly published falsehoods of the
darkest dye, and all for the sake Of accom-
pl;shing lis own selfish ends. He has been
signally defeated. We rejoice at it, and
hope that the stinging rebuke which has
been given him will consign him to political
obliyion.--AtiaS

Arr the Vine, To be s0ou Exhausted d?
A California paper says The more

ed we become with the geological fca-
lures Of the countrv-the further off does
the time recclc when we can nationally
conclude that the animal supply of gold
derived from our mines will reach n max
imum. We remember we'll that when
in 1850, we raised our voice against the
crv that the mines were exhausted. and
certainly rather timidlv limited that we
thought they might last five years longer
we were looked upon as visionary; when,
in 1851, after further acquaintance
with the mining regions. we added five
wears to the period in which the gold was
to be pretty well cleared out from our
hills and gu'lies, we met with but few
bolievnrs-but now. when. in 1856, we
exnress our belief that the supply of
goli obtained from our mining regions
will 90 on increasing for years to come,
and centuries must roll on before it can
be exhausted. we are confident that such
is the increased Knowledge Of the miner
al resources of this country. that we shall
find hundreds who will agree with us.

tence to our mining resources"
