Free EducatiOn.

We make the following extract
from remarks made by Micah Dyer Jr
at the dedication of the Eliot School.
house, Boston, Dec. 22nd. 1860:
As people we should be proud Of
our public schools, and happy to know
that all means are employed to edu
cate the young, and to advance the
youth of our land to those places which
can only be attained by intellectual
culture, and healthy morals. From
the "Old Man Of the Mountain" tina,
stony-hcarted sentinel Of the White
Hills, to the prairie flower of the
West, that silent watcher in the val
ley, laden with the silver dcw.drop
we have our little red school houses
and our noble ediliccs dedicated to
the cause of education; on every sleep
ing plain, on every rough hilltop
where Gods sunlight fingers, we have
these prolific nurseries for a free, hap.
py, and intelligent people. Here the
boy of the howell stands shoulder to
shoulder with the inhabitant of the
palace; position is nothing; brains
and character, everything!
As noble hearts beat up against the
baizc jacket Of the poor boy, as throbs
beneath the broadcloth of the rich son
Our education is as free as the noun
tain air, generous as the song of birds
mighty as the ocean, gentle as tn,
rill /! 1t has no limit, t,-boundless, i
takes in the whole intellect of man
and keeps step with its every effort
BY it we have the benefits of cultiva
ted society, free schools, and FIRE,
speech. In other lands. where they
have not the benefits of free school.
and general education, there are mil
lions who como into the world in th.
lap Of destitntion, are rocked in th'
cradle of want. brought up in the out
of-door school of vice and villainy, ans
imbibe those pernicious ideas which
drench the hand of childood witt
crime, and destroy or paralyze ever,
pulsation of, good; and without AM
laudable object in view, living on, no
one ray of hope to penetrate the mn
born future, not one star Of happines,
to light up the present, their menta
nature seemingly chilled to death b,
ignorance; while here, the great SUI
of education lights mp to all the path
way fife, and leads the youth Of ou
land to honor and fame.

ENGLAND, FRANCE, AND SPAIN.
WHAT THEY ARE ABOUT.

A letter from Paris to the Indepcn-
dencc Beige, is creating some interest,
where i. has been read. The paper
is one Of weight, and its Paris cores
pondcntis said to be a aperson of much
reliability, and of unusual means of
information. @ Our late affair with
England in the capture of Mason and
Slidell, will give an additional inter-
est to the letter. The writer, abiding
to the strength of the naval force di-
rected against Mexico, says: ai5 aaa
at must be confessed that it is do
ing great honor to Mexico to direct
against it such force, particularly
when it is remembered that in 1858,
when the country was not torn and
enfeebled by civil war, few sailing
vessels were sufficient to enable Ad-
miral Baudin to impose the laws Of
France upon the Mexican government.
Thus. since the important expedition
has been set in motion, the public are
searching on every side for the real
motive Of such formidable display
of force against so feeble an enemy
b. Ihave, therefore, particularly y devot-
ed myself to the stndylof the real facts
in the matter, and am now enabled
to give you the result Of my research
es. which, although entirely personal,
and worthy, on that account Of a cer-
tain reserve, repose, however, upon
indiccs aud information which inspire
me with entire confidence. sFsa
The Inconvenience and trouble which
has resulted to the commerce Of Eng
land on account of the prolonged hos
tilitics between the Northern and
Southern States of America is fact
recognized by everybody. One of the
first consequences OF the civil war
was the almost entire suspension of
the expectation of Southern products.
and particularly Of cotton. Now, eve
ry one knows that cotton is to the
manufacturers of England what oil is
to the lamp, and the alimcnt is about
failing-the stock will be exhausted
in few months. IN r..,..
tbs, therefore, impossible that the
English Government should not at

FORT WARREN-The whole number
of persons at Fort Warren, including
garrison and prisoners, is now about
twelve hundred. The men are fed OH
alternate days with fresh and salt ra.
tions. Once in two days over four
teen hundred and fifty pounds OF fresh
beef are provided. The political pris.
oners receive their rations with the
rest, but can purchase other provis.
ions if they desire change. Most
Of them are content with what they
get, and save their funds, if they have
any. for future contingencies. Their
cooking is done BY person selected
from among the prisoners of war. a
few of this class of prisoners have
purchased furniture for their rooms.
The officers of the prisoners of war
arc well spoken of by the officers Of
the garrison. They are allowed more
privileges than the political prisoners,
and by giving their parole, can go
anywhere on the island. inside the
lines of the sentincls. Two hours
each day they are allowed to visit tho
private soldiers from Hatteras.

Hardness.

As our schools are about commenc.
ing for the winter term, we wish to
call attention to an evil which dc.
mands correction we refer to tardi
ness. We regret that such is the
case, but We believe from our own oh.
servation, that in majority of oul
schools, the greater share of the pu
pills do not reach the school-house till
past the hour for commencing the
school; indeed, we have visited schools
where the teacher did not usually
commence in the morning till near.
ly ten o'clock, because the scholars
were not present. The blame rests,
in most instances, both with the teach.
er and the parents. a .--.. ....
A teacher should never wait for his
scholars, but should begin school at
the hour, even if there should DC but
one scholar present. Interesting ex.
ercises, pleasant schooi-room and a
pleasant teacher, arc powerful induce
mcnts. for scholars to be prompt
and punctual while q dull routine, a
cold and comfortless room, and a
scolding teacher will have an oppo-
site effect. ......-' ..-.s
Parents do not realize the injury
which they inflict upon their children
when they permit them to be tardy at
school; not only does it interrupt the
exercises Of the school, but it also ex-
crts deleterious influence upon the
entire lives Of the children, for if they
form habits ofprocrastination while at
tending school, those habits will fol-
low them ever after.
We have not the space in the pres
ent article. to speak of this subject in
all it's bearings. We have simply
thrown out some hints, and may at
some future time refer to the subject
again.

There is quite scarcity ofteachcrs
in this county the present winter;
quite a number, comprising some of
our best teachers, having gone to the
war, and others having left the busi-
ness for more lucrative employment
by the way, we mean to preach SER
mon one of these days upon the false
economy Of giving teachers meager
compensation for their services. A
person cannot afford to qualify him
self for teaching, while he knows that
he will not receive remunerative en-
ployment; good teachers will remove
20 some other location, where they
can obtain good wages; more than
this-but we did not intend to
preach our sermon just yet.
