All patriots must rsjolce that the war should

that has brought ruin and desolation upon Virgin

De brought home to her, aud that she should be

Royal, s. c., Nov. Z, 1861, and addressed to his
wife in this city.
This has been q glorious day for the old
Stars and Stripes. Our feet opened FIRE this
morning about 8 o'clock upon the rebels, Who
~are strongly fortified behind at least three
forts, one on the south bank with some 20 or 80
large guns. and two on the north point, one
"ith 8 or guns and the other with l6 or 90, as
~e judged with glass. The firing was grand
both from the feet and forts. We had about
20 guns boats and frigates, with the Wabash

horrible would be the havoc they would make.
But the rascals showed good blood for bad

You Can imagine the scene. The Bay is about

The use Of English Classical Literature.

Thorough and accurate sluay of the Eng
lsh language aud literature would supply
what the great body OF fairly educated peo-
pie are previously deficient in, viz: power
of expression. Ii has never, | imagine,
been ascertained how large PERCENTAGE
oil the middle class OF this country can
write and speak their own mother tongue
with fuency and correctness. This Is 100
delicate and subtle an inquiry for the ma
chinery of the census but, were such all
inquiry possible, the results would not at
ford much qualification. As a matter of
hands of professional writer's hybrid words
awkward aud conventional phrases, daring
anacoloulha, and extraordinary syntactlcal
licenses, are continually mahifesting Them
selves in the current literature of The day
Much more then must we be prepared Tor
mallreatment OF the Queens English among
the trading and commercial classes. And
we fad it plen,ifully. To be able 10 tell in
plain words ; 10 make statement simply,
| clearly concisely 10 record the details OF
I business IN vigorous, OueiHcSS-iiko lcIihS-
| is an accomplishment that does not appear
IN company with shrewd sense and sound
business capacity. Now it would go far 10
I remedy this defect if the nascent hopes oi
the commercial classes were carried thro'
a course of The strong, nervous, racy prose
| OF the seventeenth century. Barrow and
South may be voted somewhat dry reading
but the former helped to make Chatham an
orator and the latter can boast of style
the mixed excelences of which adapt il for
the use OF the rhetorician on the one hand
! and The practical man of business on the
other.
1t is surely not necessary to seek furt hel
arguments in favor of such reform o.
modification of existing methods OF educa
lion as shall more prominently and mor'
effectualIy enlist in the cause the services
of our national literature. If that literature
embody all the excellences for which VI
give il credit, if ii be full oi the living pow
er of genius, if it be rich storehouse o
thought and argument and imagery, If
breathe a manly, generous, liberal spirit
and be pervajed by a pure and health
morality, it must, if rightly applied, &C
powerfully and benisnantly on the opening
faculties of our English youth.
