The Heroes ofthe Southern COnfederncy
Most nations, that have hitherto achieved
their National Independence, and created for
themselves a separate and distinct organization,
have had their heroes, great leading spirits,
honored and loved for their devotion to their
country and their people. The United States
has its Washington the Father of his Country
the South American Republics have their he
roes and Lberators. Switzerland has her viii
liam Tell, Italy its Garabaldi, but who has this
Southern Confederacy? Which one ofthe per-
ured traitors who have naugurated this seces-
sion movement, will the people embam in the
page Of history, as the liberator and savior Of
mir country? They have all taken the most
soiemn oath to Support the Constitution of
the United States, and they are all equally
guilty of perjury and treason.
The united testimony of the cotemporaneous
civilized world and History will assign the true
title and character to this secession movement,
and to he men who haze been instrumental in
bringing it about. The act itself Will never
rise 10 the dignity of revolution, nor above that
OF rebellion or insurrection,h the actors above
the title OF rebels and traitors, on the pages Of
| history. Ministers Consus, and Diplomatic
agents from every civilized country, as well a,
some half civilized, have been in our mids
throughout the whole movement. They know
Of their own observation and personal knowl
ledge that there has been no oppression of the
Southern by the Northern States. They know
that no right of shareholders has been nfrn
ged upon by the Free States and consequently
that there neither is nor has been any reason o
adequate cause fer this secession movement
The world hHo1oS that there is no cause existin
to justify revolution in this country, and there
fore no justification for the perjury of thos
members Of Congress, Postmasters, Custom
House Officers, and other Federal officers VIII
had so lately sworn to support The Constitution
Iotthe United States. This knowledge will over
balance all the manifestoes that may be issue,
by the traitors as a justification of their mos
foul and damning treason. They will learn il
time, that their ''oiiicuce is rank and smells t,
heaven"
The cold-blooded murderer who strikes a
the heart OF his best aud dearest friend in mer
yicionsness, may attempt to Justify himself wit
the plea that perhaps that friend might at som
future, indefinite time inure him, if he Above
him t" live, would fail to convince the most leI
lentjury that his crime was justifable homicide
and not murder in the first degree. So thes

THE SCHOOL FUND,


The School Land Commissioners have made
special report to the Legislature, from which
it appe 4rs that the School fund has sustain ed
immense losses through the corrupt and reckless
management of those who have heretofore had
this interest in charge. Much of the school
fund has been loaned on securities which are
now absolutely worthless, and which were of
no value at the time the loans were made. The
report states that over $l7 600 have been hope
lessy lost during the past year, and that over
$64,000 of this fund have been lost since the
system of loaning has been commenced The
Commissioners also report their belief that con-
siderable sums of interest are now being paid
on securities absolutely worthless, because a
refusal TO ray would necessarily lead to the re-
vealment Of gross frauds and rascalities, prac-
lsed in the loanings of the money-such as tho
parties are not yet willing to have made public
The report arrives at the startling conclusion,
that fully one-fourth of the whole school fund
has been lost, mainly through the misconduct
of those who have been entrusted with its man
agement
1t appears from the evidence furnished in the
report, that the commissioners who formerly
had the control of the school fund, were in the
habit of making loans to political favorites, for
the accomplishment of political ends, and in al
most utter disregard of the securities taken. If
there be any species of wrong, which should
stamp the perpetrators with lasting infamv, it
Is the squandering eff this sacred trust for edu
cational purposes; they should be branded with
the scorn and contempt of mankind. An imme-
date change in the law regulating the loaning
Of the school fund is demanded The present
commissioners recommend that the law allow
ing loans to be made on real estate securities be
repealed, and that the fund be invested in the
state stocks ofsuch northern States as re known
to be safe. This plan would assure the prompt
payment of the interest; dispense with a large
amount of clerk hire now required in the school
land office, and also save expense and vexation
incident on foreclosures. Besides, it would pre-
vent school funds from being used for political |
purposes, as it is liable to be, so long as the |
present system of gaming prevails. The invest
ng OF the funds in FIVE or six per cent stocks,
would realize more than much larger per cents
IN real estate securities
1he plan of investing the funds in state stocks
however strongly objected to it is contend
d fhat this capital is needed in the State, and
hat ssme safe method should be devised for
INVESTING the money at home. The plan Of dis
rbuting the fund among the several counties
+ the State, to DO loaned ont by proper coun
y officer, under some safe regulation, NEE Is

Washington Matters.

Washington, March 16.
The Senate to-day confirmed the nomination
of n G. Isbel, Collector Of Detroit; VIM G.,
Butler, Collector at MIchilimaekiuac j. NJ
Edwards, Commissioner of the Land Officc
Gen, Spinner, Treasurer of the United States
C. G.. Ripley, of MINI, Secretary of Legation
at Brussels, and Jacob T. Halderman, Minister
at Stockholm. A number of army appoint
ments were also confirmed.
The treaty with the Winnebago Indians was
ratified.
The HeraId'S correspondent says that des-
patches were received here to-day from Mont
gomery, indicating momentary apprehensioas
of collision at Fort Pickens. 1t seems that
the commanders of the Brooklyn and Sabine can
land no supplies or have any communication
with the shore There are 500 government
troops and other marines in the various vessels
lying off the harbor. 1t is said that if they dis
regard this notification and attempt to land, a.
fight will at once come off. Rumors are cur
rent that the destination of the troops in Tex
as for whom transport ships have been sent,is
fer Fort Plckens. 1t is known that an officer,
with sealed dispatches, is on one of the vessels
which left N. Y. the day before yesterday, and
another officer was despatched overland to Col
Waite, commanding the troops in Texas.

TOWN SCHOOL LIBRARIES.

A bill to establish Town School Libraries, hs
been several times under consideration in the
Assembly, and meets with much opposition. By.
law passed two years ago the State Superinend
ent was required to set apart ten per tent of the
annual income of the school fund to be appropr
tenth of mill on the dollar has been levied for the
same object. In the absense of any law providing
the manner of establishing such libraries this FUND
has been accommodating without any disbursement
until it is estimated there will be between sirty anC
serenity thousand doHars in the State Treasury il
May next. The plan proposed by the bill now be
fore the Legislature,is the establishment of schoe
library in every township. This plan has merits
over the district system of libraries, because i
insures one good library in each town, and great
err care and efficiency in its management. The
fund which has already accumulated for this oh
jec, is sufficient to put very respectable library
in each town in the State. The measures strong
ly opposed on the ground that school libraries
whether district or town, are Liable to fall into i'm
proper hands, and the books ultimately become
scattered end lost. Besides, it is urged that news
papers and periodicals having become so cheaI
and universal, they furnish the reading matter fol
the great mass Of the people aud this kind o,
reading has far adapted itself to the variou ne
cessities of the people, that books are not 80 es
sential they once were. Although there is
some weight in this sort ofreasoning, yet standard
books, are public want which never will be dis
pensed with.
