means TO purchase bis release from this degrading
and dangerous seryitude. certain number have
attempted to run away, but this is too perilous
for many to venture upon; and even those who
succeed in escaping the vigilance of their master
run great risks of pershmg miseraby Of starys-
ton or sickness before they can make their way
home. With the most ample allowance, then for
discharges and runaways, it is reasonable to con.
clude that more than 1900 young men from

Education has usually been contemplated under
two elementary and classic or professional.
To read the mother tongu, intelligently, speak it
with tolerable accuracy, write lesibly measure
products, estimate their value correctly, aud keep
accounts-such was the purpose and the sum OF our
Common School or primary instruction. Super
induced on this was the system of Academic and
Collegiate training, embracing Languages, the
higher Mathematics, ElOc alton, Logic Rhetoric,
&c.-al intended either to qualify the recipl-
ents for the Bar, the Bench, the Dispensary,
the Pulpit, or to fit the children of the rich
to enjoy ard adorn a position of genteel indo-
leIce OF late, the immense development Of Rail-
roads and other public works on the one hand aud
of the influence and power of the Press on the
other, has dictated some modification or enlarge
ment of the system; and we alPably need an edu-
cation intended to fl. youth for engineers and some
other practical but not merely mechanical pursuits;
and this want is grudgingly aid partially supplied
through olytecbnic Schools and an enlargement
or accommodation of the Academic system.
At length, grader truth DAVIS on the
general mind-the truth, namely that the common,
everyday operations OF Agriculture and the Me-
chsnc Arts ale in fact demonstrations or applica.
.cps not only Of the laws OF Mechanics but Of those
ordinarily grouped under the generic terms, Geology,
Chemistry, Botany, &c. In other words, the farmer
behind his plow, the carpenter at his bench the una
son putting up chimney, are de,ling with re,ondic
and benefctpt lsws-laws ofgrowth and decay-of
con bination and dissolutiOn-of tenacity and fra.
gli.y-of gravitstior and affinity. 1t may be-nay,
doubtless is-the fact that many man, taught by
experience, or following an D-understOcd but i'm
plctly heeded tradition, obeys laws which he does
not mprthend nor even suspect; bat this occurs

The people Of the cOuntry-nos counting many
Ct those of the town-haye much to learn of the
great art Of life-of domestic economy, and the
world of good il affords. Some recent observations
in various rural parts have surprised US as to the
real facts of their mode Of living, We looked for
progress and reform in that department along with
he whole upward impulse Of the age. Without
going South, where We learn from the Southern
papers that the civilized life of the White Trash is
lower than that OF the indians, or taking the poor
of the North, but confnng ourselves to notice of
people having enough to eat, drink, wear and keep
bouse with, We fad the standard Of comfort, the
laws Of physc being included, sadly on the wrong
side Of the balance. The people, in word, have
much TO learn of the arts OF life, and on this head
we wish to say few plain words.

MrWm. Gilmore Simms thinks that the achieve.
ments Of South Carolina in the War Of the ReyO-
luton were wonderful and that her people rendered
quite as much seIvice-at least in proportion to
their numbers-as the people Of New-EnglaDd.
Marion, the celebrated South Carolina partisan,
who may be supposed to have had the opportunity
TO know quite as much about the matter as Mr..
Smms seems to have entertained different opinion.
Weems in bis "Life of Marion relates an inter-
view which he had with that distinguished officer
during his last sickness, in which he represents
him as speaking as follows:
New with sorrowful eyes let Us turn to our own
State where pairs were ever taken to enighte1 the

The result of the war, it is to be observed, de-
pended on the Continental soldiers The returns
of those soldiers are for entire terms of year.
The militia were called out for various terms-some
for two some for three four, fve six, eight, nine
and in some instances for twelve months. They
were called out sometimes TO strengthen the thin
ranks of the main operating armies, but often for
merely local defense. 1t was upon keeping the
main army under Washington in a condition to
face the enemy, ard to copfne hun to the leigh
bOrhood of New-IOIk, that the result depended
That was Nashington's opinion, who constantly
replied to appeals to march to tie defense Of South
Carolina and Virginia, against the invading British,
that these local stfugss, however Interesting to The
inhabitants of the invaded States, were Of very
subordinate Consequence in military pOin. of view,
The possession Of New-York being the great mat
ter oil which the contest was to turn.
Now, it appears from the first OF the above
tables, that to the Continental army, which
alone Washington relied for ultimate success Mas
sachusetts furnished soldiers than al The States
south of Pennsylvania put together She furnished
C, COZ Continental soldiers, while all the States
south Of Pennsylvania furnished only $685..
Look now to South Carolina. She furnished
6,4l7 continentais; but, in fact, after III, she
might be counted out Of the game. Subsequently
10 that year, in consideration Of their large Stare
population, no troops were asked of South Carolina
or Georgia except for local defense. BY the close
Of l77s, about the time the war fairly commenced
in the Southern department, which was then placed
ulder tie con msnd Of Lincoln, Yankee farmer
from Massachusetts, the six South Carolina CONT
mental regiments reduced to less than 800 men.
These men became prisoners of war by the capitu.
Iaion Of Charleston ard after that, for the rest Of
TIE war, that State had not single regular soldier
in The field.
As to her militia, estimated at %, $50, according
to tie testimony of Greene, the Yankee anchor

The Presentment Of the Grand Jury, which we
print in another column, brings officially before
the public some of the gross frauds perpetrated by
the buchanan and Wood Democracy in the recent
election. A large lumber Of Inspectors are pre-
sented for not making their returns in proper sea-
son; one box at least, was STUFFED with an e1-
cess of more than two hundred ballots, and one of
the Inspectors repeatedly urged the clerk to make
false entries in the poll list to conceal the fraud
In other places citizens were driven from the polls
by DULLES in the interest Of Wood and the test-
mony of the Chiefof Police intimates pretty clearly
that the Mayor is the only per.on to blame for not
putting stop to this violence. Some Of the police
men sent to guard the polls passive observers
OF the most intOerable rufanism yet refused to in
terfere. At one poll legally elected Inspector
was driven off by police force.
These are few Of the vainies set forth on legal
testimony by the Grand Inquest. 1t was not their
province to detail and explain mnutely the cases
brought to their notice. Had they done So the
honest portion Of our citizens would have been
startled at the bold and extensive, and, we mar
add, generally well.managed scheme of vilainy by
which the Autocrat Of the Police Depart nent
crushed out the real will of the people. With a
skill that would have made his fortune in San Fran
cisco before the era Of the Vigilance Committee,
somebody carefully canvassed the city, noted the
places most favorable for operating, set down such
and such polls for so many votes for the Border
Ruffan candidates, and when the boxes were
opened, 10 the votes were there. Whether the
business was done, as in the First W,rd,
by knocking down, stabbng and shooting; or, as in
the Fourth by stufiiDg the baOtb0xes; or, as in
the Fifteenth by purpOsely hindering The reception
of ballots and shutting off hundreds at sunset; or,
as is intimated in many places, by the Inspectors
changing the tickets offered for those Of the right
stripes or by all Of these means together, it is
enough that the result was achieved. Aud when
the returns of a district where the election was
mere mockery come before the County Canvassers,
We find Aldermen Iidiculing the idea OF fraud, call
ing violent and bloody fight only some of Z" the
boys fun" and voting in solid phalan1 to receive
and indorse as all right the figures sent up for their
scrutiny.
What efforts will be made by the Courts 70 pun
ish these ofenses remains to be seen. The history
Of several recent prosecutions for official miscon-
duct does not inspire any very strong hope that
Justice will be done. This metropolis seems to be
under a curse which render, it's people incapable of
selfgoyernment, deprives their legal defenders of
the power of indicating their rights, and makes it
almost certain that we shall be governed by scoun
dres and robbers forever.
