IN our OWN State and abroad. The books
from which he gets the authentic accounts of
the early voyages from England to North
Carolina, are very old and rare, printed in
black letter, with curious spelling, &C.. He
found these in London, and for a single vol

work, and so he has spared neither time,

which he may truly say
"Where'er 1 roam, whatever realms to see,
My heart, untrsvePd, fondly turns to thee.

has old letters or documents bearing upon
the history of the State, or any Of its distin.

thankfully received, judiciously used, and
carefully preserved and returned.

peA- We cheerfully give place to the fol-
lowing, from Mr.. Wiley, Editor of the Com
mon School Journal.
To The Editors N tie Spirit Of Tie Age:
GENTLEMEN: | think / ought to make a re-
mark in regard TO the notice in your last is.
sue, Of the North Carolina Com. School Jour.
nal and hope that when you hear it you
will appreciate my reason for making this
remark.
1t is not always in good taste for authors
and writer's to reply to criticisms on the lit
erary merits Of their productions but when
these criticisms proceed on a mistake unin-
t%entially made, when the public is interested
in the matter in n manner more nearly than
they are interested in merely literary works,
1t seems proper 10 correct the i'm.
preston, or at least that the author should
explain his position and motives. Your no.
tice, tho it may not be so intended, would
imply a degree of carelessRess in me, in pre-.
pairing tho Contents Of the first No. of the
Com. School Journal and as this would be
more IN the nature Of a charge Of want Of
interest in the matter, than Of a criticism on
my literary requirements, &C., l ought to
answer it.
/ think it possible that you may have mis-
taken, to some extent, the objects of the N.
q. Com. School Journal and you may have
tallep into the supposition that it was to be
q medium for Literary discussions and efu-
sions Of Il high order. However much we
may need such n Magazine, the object of the
Com. School Journal is wholly different.
If you were placed in my position you
would end that the practical wants Of our
Com. School System are ola character which
" original and vigorous" literary efforts will
not supply and in your communications
with it you would find it all important tC
deal as much rs possible, in certain fxeC
facts and common-sense ideas, and clothed
in the simplest style.
IL IS very necessary TO plant firmly in tn,
minds Of the agents Of our System some Gle
mentary ideas and facts in regard to Com
mon Schools, which have not yet taken roo
sufficiently deep and wide among all classes
and it is also n matter Of no little momen'
while it has been n very difficult undertaking
heretofore, TO keep all parties interested, we
posted IN in regard to our School Laws, an
the leading facts Of our own experience.
The law is often, n matter Of doubt, an
the spirit and scope Of our system not con
pretended and when endeavoring to appl
a remedy 20 these great evils it is impossib
for US to be TOO plain and simple in our sty
and illustrations.
Nina-tenths Of those for whose benefit Il
Common School journal is intended are pla
men who want facts and explanations, to a
sist them in the discharge of their duties, al
not vigorous literary essays and while
would think IL very unbccuming to use q 81
venly, or incorrect style, | feel it my duty
make the Journal speak a plain, simple,
rect Language, and to convey To it's reade
which they most need.
Hoping you will appreciate my motives
Offering these remarks, and believing tn
you will also approve Of my views,
am respectfully yours,
Sept. II, 1856. G. IL. WILEY.
