Mixing Politics and Educa ton.


1t has been, and is yet the practice of
politicians not to introduce reforms till
the masses are prepared to indorse them
Such we conceive to be dangerous pro-
cess, unless the masses a.c sufficiently
educated to judge correctly. We doubt
the propriety Of lowering the standard of
reform to suit the mass of mankind.
Would it not be better to raise them to
that standard Of reform? 1t is uudoubt.
eddy unwise and unsafe to permit persons
to vote who cannot read, write, or even
tell anything about the form of govern
ment under which they live. There
should be standard or limit of knowl
edge in government affairs, upon which
Is predicated the probable fitness to the
right of the elective franchise. Then
political trucksters will have done with
merchandise in ballots. From whence
come oppression and wars, and the vast
train of miseries to which our race is
doomed, if not from a development of
the principles of corruption sown in the
youthful mind? "That which a man
soweth shall he also reap" What is the
cause Of this war? We answer, the seeds
Of discord and rebellion have been cast
IN the hot-bcd of southern ignorance, and
fostered by aristocracy and love of power,
till they have terminated, taken root, and
now threaten to involve our beloved
country in one common ruin.
Educate tho masses and the goddess
of liberty will guide and protect us; neg
lcct to do so, and she will shrek, as
when Sumter fell, and take her flight
Yes, in and back of the school and school.
master, lives aud prospers this nations
liberty. The true doctrine is, elevate
men to power, and commission teachers
only, who are intelligent, sound in NOR
ais, and who are up and doing and pecul-
iarly fitted for the position which they
are designed to occupy.

FINAL REQUEST.

Teachers of Cedar county, ifyou desire
the Educational Column kept up, you
must send in your communications, or it
will certainly be discontinued One or
two persons have not the time to do all
the work gratis. We frequently wait
till the last moment for articles, and if
they DO not come, we have to sit down
and hastily "scratch off" something
which is, almost necessarily, full of er-
rors. One article, containing three pages
of fools cap, from each teacher in Cedar
county would keep the Educational COL
umn supplied for two years, A teacher
is unworthy the name, who cannot or will
not contribute, at least, one article to the
Educational Column of his county paper
during the whole year. Teacher, if you
can't write for the column, get some one
of your pupils to write for you.

going to the wars" his house would be
burned down. He paid no attention to
the threats but went away with his com.

his house is in ashes. We don't belle ,e

GONE OvER.-Breckinridge has at
last gone over openly to the enemy.
1t would no doubt have afforded him
great pleasure to have jagged Kentuc-
ky, and taken her along, but the jug
refused to follow the cork, and so he
has sailed out on his own hook. 1t was
a great pity he had not been put in
durance vile long ago. That he was a
traitor, none have doubted for a long
time, and he was only the more dan
gerous on account of the secresy with
which he has cloaked his treason.
That Kentucky is to-day loyal State
is not his fault, and we trust she has
already grown the hemp that will be
used to stretch his neck. During the
last campaign he solemnly avowed his
loyalty to the Constitution and the
Union, while at the same time there is
no doubt the dispicable villain was
stepped in treason to his eyes. His
name will be placed on the roll of in
fanny side by side with Cataline and
Benedict Arnold, though unlike them,
he has suffered no grievance at the
hand of his countrymen, and has been
spoiled by favors far too generously
bestowed.

The Loss of the Fanny.
WASHINGTON Oct.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.
The following is the statement of the
master of the Fanny:
Hatteras, Oct. lst-I left i'm the
steamer Fanny for Loggerhead Inlet,
arriving there at P. M. We anchored
and waited there two hours and half
before we got any communication from
the shore, and when about two thirds
of the way to shore we saw a steam
boat to the westward, about p. NJ,
which proved to be one of the enemy.
She was standing to cut off our retreat,
and in short time two more appeared
steering directly for us, the first one
then steamed in and commenced firing
upon us, and as the other two came up
they did the same. We returned the
fire with nine shots, striking one of their
boats in the bow; Capt Hart, of the
goth Indiana regiment suggested a
surrender, saying it was no use fighting
against such odds, and requested us to
hoist the white flag. The mate of the
boat and the few soldiers then turned
to and threw overheard some 80 eases
of ammunition, when Capt. Hart forbid
them throwing any more overheard.
Capt. Hart then suggested that the
chain be slipped and the boat run
ashore. The white flag was then
hoisted and the crew left in their boats.
We endeavored to get boats to carry
the soldiers off from the Fanny but
could not do 30. To the best of my
opinion they had plenty of time from
our arrival to that of the enemy to have
got every thing on shore from the
Fanny if sufficient number of boats
had been employed in the transporta-
ten of the stores, SO that we could
have destroyed the vessel.

From Fortress Monroe.
FORTRESS MONROE, DC

FORTRESS MONROE, Oct. 4.
The Pawnee has returned frem Hat
teras Inlet. She reports the loss
of the propeller Fanny on Tuesday.
She was on her way from the Inlet to
Chicomacomaco, to the encampment of
the Indiana Regiment, and was cap
tured by three rebel tugs which put
ont from Roanoke Island. rifed can
non, 25 of the Indiana Regiment, in
Guiding 2 of Hollis and several of Col.
Hawkins Regiment, and cargo of
commissary stores, fell into the hands
of the rebels. The Capt. of the pro-
peller and the crew alone escaped.
Gen. Wool is expected at Fortress
Monroe tomorrow night.
1t is well understood that the rebels
will soon attempt to run the blockade
from Old Point with two steamers from
Norfolk and Yorktown and another
powerful steamer from James river.
Passengers by the Old Point boat
say that Gen. Magruder would demand
the evacuation of Newport News in
twelve hours.

Bayard Taylor left Washington for
Europe just after the assault on the
Massachusetts 9Th in Baltimore, April
10th. Terror then reigned in the City
of Plug Uglies, direct communication
with the Capital was cut of, and the
traveller was compelled to run the
gauntlet at Annapolis, Harve de Grace,
Perryville, &c. After an absence of
five months Mr.. Taylor has returned,
and writes letter on his arrival at
Washington contrasting the aspect of
affairs in April and September. He
was in time to witness the review of
artillery and cavalry which took place
few days ago, and thus gives his i'm
preston of Mcclellan:
81 had an opportunity of contrast
ing Mcclellan with score of Generals
and Princes. There were Mcdowell,
Porter, Reyes, Blenker, Smith and
Maurey, all manly, gallant faces and
figures of true military bearing; Coils.
De Trobriand, and Slom-Slom, with
their dashing, chivalresque air; the
Prince de Joinvile, twisted and stoop.
ing, lounging on his horse the,Orleans
Princes, with their mild, amiable faces,
and aspect of languid interest-in all,
a most remarkable group of figures. A
horses length in advance sat the small
est man of the party, broad shouldered,
strong chested, strong necked, and
strong;jawed, one hand upon his hip,
while the other. by an occasional rapid
motion flung some rapid communities
ton to the passing squadrons of caval-
ry. The visor of the cap was well
pulled down over his eyes, vet not a
man in the lines escaped his observa-
ton. His glances seemed to take in at
once the whole spectacle, yet without
losing any of its smallest details. He
is commander" said my Austrian
friend. Something in his figure, his
attitude, and the square, tenacious set
of his jaws, reminded me strikingly of
Field Marshal Radetsky. / scanned
the lines of his face in vain for some
mark of weakness, indecision or timid-
ity. All was cool, firm, prompt, deter
mined and self-reliant. If he does not
Justify the hopes and expectations of
the nation, physiognomy is of no value. %
