EsayN In the proceedings of the Educational Insti-
tute of the NJ. E. Church, South, at Atlanta Ca,
we find the following abstract of the remarks of
DR.. A. L. HAMILTON:
abr A. L. Hamilton then entertained the Insti-
tuition and audience with speech on the Education
of Females, in which he suggested that the physical
development Of the sex was too much neglected
and that amendment was needed His remarks
were somewhat dscursory, but suggestive and for
chilly delivered. a bold, strong thinker conscious
Of mental power and energetic in delivery he is
very effective speaker. He did not design to devel-
op any elaborate plan, but only desired to enter his
caveat in order to protect his claims to priority and
promised elucdate his plans more fully in the flu
ture. His general plan, however, embraces the es-
Enlistment of one more institutions for the ed
ucation of females, with industrial departments
properly endowed He would combine the useful
with the beautiful the industrial with the omamen-
tai, that the physical powers might be developed
and strengthened and the prepared for the re-
verses so often attendant on life
We conversed freely with DR.. Hamilton months
ago on the subject of his plan for adding an Indus
rial branch to female high-schoos and fully concur
with him in the value of his original idea None
will deny the great Importance of some plan by
which the physical energies of females can be de-
veloped. Not only is it necessary as a means of
securing good health whilst at School and thereby
invigorating the mental faculties but rs means OF
fitting them for the duties of aer-life-the offices
Of wives and mothers. BY the plan suggested by
Dr. Hamilton, when girl leaves school, instead of
being deficient in health and strength, and ignorant
of everything pertaining to household affairs, she
will carry with her an invgorated constitutions and
a practical knowledge of those domestic duties, up
on the successful performance OF which so essential
~ depend her own happiness, and her usefulness as
member Of society We know not how this surg
geston may be viewed by Others but we hope,
some day to see it reduced to practice by our pros
porous Female Academy, and its great importance
clearly illustrated.

Rsly" Some of the democratic papers ask what
has been settled by the late election? Sorry we
can answer otherwise than by saving that nothing
is ever settled by the election of democratic Legis-
aure because no settled principles, on their part,
are ever involved in an election They make the
race upon local preiudccs, and then cgisate with
an eye to the next election. Some individuals we
could name are settled by the election, but no de-
mocratic principle that We know Of.
