HOME EDUCATION.


EDITOR DEMOCRAT: have seen, with muc
satisfaction, within the last few weeks tina
the citizens of YazoO City are beginning to wax
up to their interest on the subject of home educa
ton; frequent enquiries having been made O
late as to the best plan to be adopted. The pla
proposed, is to raise funds by private subscrip
ton, sufficient to purchase lot of ground il
some eligible portion of the city. and erect
suitable building for Female Academy, ant
have it incorporated by an act of the Legislature
md placed in the hands Of competent men, a.
trustees to control the same.
Let each subscriber put in money as an jnyest
ment, and in five years, have no doubt but h,
will receive handsome dividend on the capita
inverted
ventare the assertion that there will be diff.
Guilty in raising funds sufficient to accomplish an
enterprise that would be Of so much Importance
to our whole community. Ya2oo City is healthy
location, aud surrounded by wealth and all the
appliances necessary to build up first class
female school, and that, too, at home, where VIC
can have our daughters educated under our own
SJNH' iiiS'Soh VI tltlu 60 ulbbdub
and lavish our money on our worst enemies.
There are many noble minded men and women
in our county, that have daughters to educate,
who were not born with silver-spoon in their
mouths, nor have they been the favorites of
Madam Fortune, consequently, not possessed
of the means to send their daughters abroad
for education. But then, who would not pre-
fer building up permanent school at home 2
l, for one, would prefer contributing the amount
that it would cost me to send my daughters to
distant State for education, in building up
home institution And why not have one in
Yazoo City? If the merchants and citizens of
this place generally, will look to their interest
am confident that they will lend a liberal helping
hand to aid in an enterprise that will tend greatly
to arrest the downward tendency of our once pros.
porous and happy Yazoo City, and cause the sun
shine of prosperity once more to shed its genial
rays in our midst and drive out the blight and
and mldew of rail road influence.
Female Academy can be e, tablished in Yazoo
City that will vic in Importance with Clinton.
Grenada, or any other school in the State. Sub
scription lists will soon be in the hands of men
who will spare neither labor or pains to accom-
plish an enterprise that ought to commend itself
to every patriotic mind, and one that will rebound
greatly to the prosperity Of our community at
large. When the bugle blast of home enterprise
is properly sounded, the people will respond in
the right direction.

AN TNrEREsTINo TRIAL IN VIRGINIA.

AN INTERESTING TRIAL IN VIRGINIA
The County Court Of Albemarle couHty,
Va, disposed of an interesting ease few
DAYS ago. It was that Of the State VS.. Judy,
a slave girl of w. 0. Terfil. The Char
lotteville Republican says:
"The charge against her was that, IN
April last she attempted to kill her mis-
tress. (who was confined to her bed from
protracted sickness, and was very feeble and
entirely helpless,) by choking her, dragging
her out of bed, and brutality beating her
with the tongs, and burning her with Goals
of FIRE and hot embers. The probability is
that she would have succeeded in killing
Mrs T, very soon, had she not beer pre-
vented by the arrival of the family pbysl'
clan, who found her upon the floor in state
of insensibility. The prisoner, at the time
of the commission of the deed, was about
eight years and nine months. The case
consequently involved the consideration OF
the interesting question in regard to the
age at which legal responsibility for crime
commences, or in other words, at what age
the person is, as the law.writers say, deli
copar. This question, so far as we are
advised, has not been settled by the judicial
decisions Of this country; the tendency Of
the decisions in England being to make ii
depend rather On the intelligence and capac-
ity to distinguish between right and wrong
than on the age of the party accused
Blackstone mentions two cases as having
occurred in England in one of which the
accused was nine, and the other eight years
of age, and, in which they we're severally
condemned to capital punishment. a
Our Court, in view Of the irresistible evil
dence in the case, and the enorinity and
brutality of the act, felt bound to convict
Judy Of the attempt to kill, and to sentence
her to be hung; but, in consideration Of
her tender years.. they recommended. her tc
the clemency of the executive.

SPAIN ALARMED-A correspondent in Madrid
says that Napoleon III has just been thwarted in
one Of his favorite schemes for converting Spain
into French province. His emmissafies had
long been at work, representing to the Government
Engineers the manifest advantage of continuing
the French line of railways through the Pyrenes
via Gabarino to Huesoa but the Junta has obsti-
nately refused to see the matter in the light in
which it has pleased Napoleon III and his ambas-
sailors and engineers to place it. They have
sent in a report to the Government, pointing out
the danger which would befall Spain were she
placed at the mercy of her neighbor, who could
thus, without warning, send his armies through
the Pyrenes They do not hesitate, moreover, to
strengthen their arguments by showing how rap
idly Napoleon can move large armies into distant
countries, even when unprepared for snch emer-
gences, as he affected to be on the invasion of
Sardinia by Austria. They propose, therefore,
that the Government should not facilitate any
invasion of Spain by laying down a strategcal
railway at the dictation of Louis Napoleon.

AUsTRIA.-The Vienna correspondent of the
Times says that 1t was generally believed that O
deputation, with the Prince Napoleon at their
head, would shortly arrive to take the remains Of
the Duke de Reichstadt to France
The correspondent of the Independent Beige,
thus speaks Of the projects Of reform entertained
by the Emperor of Austria CAN the provincial
councils Of the Empire are to be eonvoked stimuli.
taneously, in order to answer series Of ques.
tons on the ameliorations which they may think
necessary to the internal government Of the States
especially in the provincial organization. The
Councils will have complete liberty in their de-
liberations, and make known openly and sincere
~ to the Emperor the wants and wishes Of the
population. Important financial and military re
forms are likewise projected"
The Austrian War Department has decided that
the army shall be maintained at present on a war
footing. It's effective strength is estimated at
200, 900 men. The other corps are on their march
to their former cantOnments in Galicia and Hun

AN EXTRAORDINARY CASE, The Chic
ago Journal records the suicide of a baggage
master named Griffith, on the Central Rail.
road. He had failed in the drug business
and was in consequence involved in debt tc
some extent. The Journal says.
Soon after he obtained his rev situation
at salary of $50 per month"; ono of bis
creditors who held note against him tC
the amount of 500, sought him out and
requested settlement, proposing to accept
monthly installments of $40 each, until the
whole could be cancelled, thus leaving hin
$40 per month upon which to live. To thi.
Mr.. Griffith would not acccde, and Eo ar.
rangement appears to have been effected
between them.
Subsequently, his creditor sued the note
and getting judgment, garnisheed his wages
for the past month, so that when payday
came he found himself penniless, and utter.
ly without means to support his family fol
the coming month. And to add to his diff
culties, he received notice from the Com
pany that they could not be annoyed with
the garnishees, and unless he could make
some arrangement to prevent their recur'
renee, they should gil his place.
In this dilemma he sought out his credit
or Cor the attorney and requested him to be
content with $25 of the money, and leave
him $35 balance to support his family. IL
this the creditor in turn refused to consent
expressing his intention to keep what he
had got, but offering to accept $40 pei
month for the balance, and not to trouble
him any more with garnishees.
After this interview he appeared very
respondent. About o'clock on Wednesday
his wife found him upon the bed apparently
in fit. A physician was sent for, but
could afford him no aid, and he expired
about o'clock. In the room were found
two ounce walls with a small quantity Of
laudanum in, too plainly telling the manner
of his death.

ANOTHER CABLE FAnJRE.-The st. Loui:
Republican says:
aThree pieces of the Atlantic cable, which
were purchased by Messrs. Tiffany IL Co., q
New York, have been laid across the Mssis
sppi at this place, in order to put the St
Louis office in connection with the Eastern
lines. The first cable worked very well for
about three weeks, the second about thirteen
hours, and the third, which was laid last Sat
urday evening, gave out on Sunday last. On
Thursday last, the second cable was underrun
by Messrs. @. A. Smith and Charles Wire, ex-
perienced electricians, but no flaw was dis
covered-nothing perceptible to account for
the cessation of the working capacity of the
cable. The last cable was put to a good test,
having been entirely submerged for over two
hours before being laid.
"The first cable was examined from st.
Louis to near the Illinois shore, where the
cable, having been imbedded in the sand, gave
way. Up to the place of parting there was
nothing perceptible that could lead to dis
covery of the existing trouble The third
cable also furnishes us no evidence whereby
the causes of the difficulty can be detected.

He STILL LIvEs.-Under this heading the
Memphis Appeal, of the 9th inst, has the fol,
lowing:
We announced on Friday last that a man
named. John Lewis, who had been warned to
leave Napoleon, had been besot by mob,
murdered, and his body thrown in the river.
We were warranted by the circumstances in
making the announcement, but it appears that
Mr.. Lewis still lives, and that he is in this city
at the present time. His escape from the fury
of the mob was almost miraculous, as he was
stripped and beaten, then cut to pieces in
many places with knives, and set adrift in a
fral bark in the river. He made a landing,
however a few miles below Napoleon, and
was brought to Memphis by the steamer
Rapides yesterday.

THE GRAND REsULT.-The Nashville Union
thus sums up the grand result of the late election

any candidate for the place, of either party, for a
quarter of q century.
Both branches Of the Legislature Democratic,
and Democratic majority on joint vote, of TEN,

Three Democrats elected and two Democrats
defeated for Congress, by the Democrats; three
Opposition men elected by Opposition strength,
two Opposition men elected by the fraudulent
apportiOnment Of 1852, and two others elected by
the failure of the Democrats of the third and
fourth districts to vote for their own candidates.
The Democratic majority in the seventh district
is larger than the aggregate majority by which
all the Opposition members are elected, and the
