The Richmond Wing OF Tuesday says: AT
present, IL may be said. that three competing
plans are before the Legislature, viz: that OF
Governor LETcHER ior Convention Of Dele
gates from all the States. TO consider whether
existing difficulties can be remsdi d and
guarded against in future; or, that being Inn
possible, whether terms of peaceful separh-
ton can be devised. Second. that Of the
South Carolina Commissioner fer Conven-
ton of Delegates from the Southern Statcs. tn
consider Substantially the same things. Third.
that of the Joint Committee OF tins Legisia-
laFe. fOf more stringent aud Elective meas

Free Trade.

One Of the most significant movements of
the day is that of the French Government to-
wards free trade. According to the advices
by the North American, which arrived at
Portland on the 4th, NAPoLEoS bad address
ed manifesto to the Minister of State on the
subject, in which he says the moment has ar
rived for him TO occupy biInself with the
means Of giving greater Development to The
national wealth, and be communicates the
basis Of reform. He says foreign commerce
= must be developed by exchange f products,
but first, France must improve her agricuI-
ture and free her industry from all interior
impediments which place her in the position
of inferioriiy. A general system Of sound
political economy alone can, by increasing
the national wealth, spread prosperity among
the working classes. Every year the State
grants considerable sums to agriculture for
clearing woods and lowering billy grounds:
great works of draining and arrangements
for clearing grounds ore to be stcd.
To encourage manufactured productions, it
IL necessary to exempt from all duties prima-
~ articles indispensable to industry, and to
advance capital at a moderate rate of inter
est, which viii assist in perfeciing materials
By these measures. agriculture will find an
issue for its product; industry, fred from
all obstacles, will adyantagcously compete
with foreign products, and commerce will
make fresh advance.
To eounterbalaHee the reduction OF duties
on primary meterials and provisions Of great
IL g Al
debt will be proportionately suspended
The letter then sums up the intended re-
form, viz: Suppression of duty On wool and
cotton, successive reduction of dutyon sugar
and coffee, the vigorous Improvement of the
means Of communication, the reduction of
canal dues By general lowering of trans
port. cost loans to be granted 10 agriculture
and industry, and works OF public utility,
suppression of tue prohibition in customs and
commercial treaties with foreign powers.
The one hundred and sixty millions francs
remaining disp0sable from the last loan " i'll
be applied in three yearly credits to the exc
-cution of great public works
The Emperor concludes: IL am convinced
that shall obtain the support Of the Senate
sad Legislative body TO these forms am
anxious to inaugHrate with them the new era
OF peace, and to assure It's blessings 10
France
Later adyices say that this movement has
given great satisfaction in France and Great
Britain liz will give no less satisfaction In
the cotton States of this country. which will
be vastly benefited by it.

The penn.yIv.nta school system.

The public schools of the State contain
63465l pupils, who are taught for the sum
of sixty-nine cents a month for each pupil.
including every expense Of instruction, build
ing expenses, rents and repairs. The total
expenses Of the year, including those Of Phil
adel phia in 1859, were s2.579,O75. The ave
rage number of mills on the dollar levied for
school purposes is 5.53. and for building pur-
poses 3.i7. This certainly is no onerous tax,
considering that over six hundred thousand
of the inhabitants of Pennsylvania are receiT-
ing from il the rudiments of the education
which is to fit them for their future duties as
citizens of the State, and 10 whom its inter-
ests aud its prosperity are to he hereafter in
trusted. The establishment of the State Nor
NAL School is expected to operate favorably
upou the school system hereafter as source
of supply of thoroughly trained teacher, and
as establishing u State standard for their
qualifications. II has been very satisfactoii-
ly organized at Millersburg, Lancaster COUP
ty. The " hole number OF teachers, exclusive
of the city of Philadelphia, is IA OIL. of whom
S.43I are males. and 5 $40 females. The av-
erage salaries of the former is S24 SO per
moath, and of the latter Si7 20 per month.
The average salaries of the teachers in the
city of Philad lpbia is not reported.

the head of the great firm of wine makers,
who is now in this country, and proposes to
take a hunt on our Western Prairies, is pub
lish,d in the Eastern papers. on the statistics
of champagne. He states facts worthy of
notice. Though the consumption OF cham
payne in the United States is estimated at
LOCO, 900 baskets per annum, the quantity ac-
tuaIIy made in France, in comparatively
small district, is not more than 900 bas-
keis One million baskets are annually sold
in the United States. while, at the Custom
House Of New York, where more than two
thirds of the whole importation is passed,
only l75,02s baskets were clear in 1859.
The actual supply OF she genuine. by all the
champa gne makers in France, is 500, 900 bas-
keis year, of which Russia takes 100000 !;
Great Britain aud her dependencies los 600;
America 22O, 600; France l62 900; aud Ger
many 40 900 baskets every year. Thus, on
