school Commissioners, Report

The School Commissioners Of this county
have published, in pamphlet form, an able re-
port Of the condition Of the public schools Of
this county, and Of the working of the school
system thus far. We advise every one who
feel interested in the education OF the youth of
our county TO procure copy and read 1t, lit
being rather too lengthy for insertion in our
paper, which, we doubt not, can be obtained
Of either Of the Board. We publish, however,
the following general summary, which embra-
ces, in a condensed form, such information as

The report concludes with the following We
ry appropriate remarks: a
:" We take it for granted-you are sufficiently
acquainted with the merits Of the great cause
we advocate. You must know and feel that,
in all events, in peace or war, union or disu-
MON, II is necessary TO provide for the educa-
ton Of the whole people. Doubtless you all
know this, and want the object accomplished.
The practical question is-t0hdt price are you
milling 10 Pdyf for ~ Everything has its price,
and you cannot secure great benefit without
paying proportionally for II.
+" ALI we ask OF you, then, is, TO weigh well
the issues involved in the support or abandon
ment Of system Of Public Schools. IF you
choose the latter, 1t seems inevitable that the
chasm that separates the intelligent and the
ignorant classes, must grow wider and deeper.
We know that the more enlightened portion
Of the community, though compelled 10 pay
larger amount than would be necessary UNI
der a good school system, will not, in this age
Of the world, suffer their OVID children 70 lose
the priceless blessings Of education. But with
out some system well and vigorously SUSTAIN

Circumstau py judgment, ofsuflicient

The people on 'he Coast or North
The Raleigh Standard, referring to the
statement in relation to The citizens of Hyde
county, in that State, going over to Lincoln in
such numbers upon the surrender Of Hatteras,
says:
It ig doub less true that quite a number,
over 900 Of he people living on the banks con-
tiguous to Hatteras, have taken the oath to
support LiBcoln's government. But II the
public knew all their surroundings, and what
kind of people they are, it would surprise
them that ali did not take ii. They are a haT-
dy, ignorant, poor people, who are cut oil from
Their fellow-citizeBa Of Hyde by a sound thirty
miles wide, and from the rest OF mankind.
They obtain a rrecsTious subsistence by hsh-
ing. pilcting aud wrccking-they are almost
entirely without schools or mail facilities
Perbap8 there are not more than thirty
n Newspapers circulated among tue tuous3nd
people living on our coast banks. Their lh-
tercourse with Yankee seamon has been mOIe
intimate than with the people Of their own
stare, and most CT their living they obtained
from the Yankees. They were opposed TO
disunion and the war, vet on The breaking cut
Of hostilities they resolved 20 take sides wIlh
the South. They petitioned for arms, and for
a force TO help them whip the fank es. arms
were denied mem Two Sllhii loiLs WelF
erected and a small force was sent, not so
much to defend them as to keep the Yankees
of from toe main land. They felt neglected,
but nevertheless &c is asserted, ana we bave
not heard it c0ntraticted, that when Hat
teras was attacked they rushed to The de-
Tense Of the forts. When the forts were taken
ant our troops were surrendered they were
left defensslass. But few of them could leave
the banks for the want Of means, and ii they
did they must leave all they had, and knew not
where to go for help. Thus these unfortunate
people were left to choose between two evils,
either to surrender az prisoners Of war and be
forced to Leave thsir poor families to starve, or
take the oath and secure the protection OF Lin
coin. Those who were able to leave, doubtless
did so, and refused to take The oath.
Lincoln gains nothing by the acquisition
the South loses nothing BY their submission
yet their poverty OF unpro6-abjeness should
not shield our State government end Military
Board from the shame and disgrace Of failing
to afford them ample protection. YetIf Hat
teTas were T~etaIen tomorrow, and ID ought to
bs, every one Of these unfortunate creatures
would rejoice at f., and would swear by earth
and Heaven ever afterward to be loyal t. The

There is something extremely pleasan', and
even toUching-at least, OF very sweet, soft
and winning efect-in this popularity of
nsedlework, distinguishing women from men.
Our owl sex is Incapable Of any such by play
aside from the business Of life but women
be Of what earthly rank they may, however
gifted with intellect or genius, or endowed
with earthly beauty-have always some haudi-
work ready TO fill the tiny gap Of every vacant
moment. A needle is familiar to the fingers
Of them all. A queen no doubt, plies it on oc-
casions the Woman-poet can use it az adroit-
" as her pen /; the woman's eye that has dis
covered a new star, tsTns from its glory 10
send the polished little ms TumeDt cleaning
along the hem Of her k%eTchjsf, or TO darn q
casual fray in her dress, Ard they have great
" the advantage Of US in this respect. Tie
slender thread Of silk OF cotton keeps them
united with the sm III, familiar, gentle inter
ests Of life, the continually operating influences
Of which do so much for the health Of the
character, ard carry of what would Otherwise
be a dangerous accumulation Of morbid seusi-
bility. Avast deal Of human sympathy runs
along their electric liGe, stretching from he
throne to the wicker chair Of the hUmb'est
seamstress, and keeping high and low In q
species Of communion with their kindred be-
ings. MetbiHks il is a token OF healthy and
gentle characteristic, when women Of high
thoughts and accomplishne ats love TO sew ;
especially as they are never more at home with
taeir own hearts than while so occupied And
when the work falls in a womaH's lap OF its
own accord, and The needle inyOlUntaTily ceases
to fly, it is a sign Of trouble, quite astrustwor-
thy as the tbrob of the heart Itself.

The latest intelligence We have seen from
the command Of Gen. Hardee, is contained in
the follosing extracts from a letter dated
Camp Hardse, September S.h, which We find
in the Lit Rock Ga=etts:
Well, we are again stationed at this place.
The whole Of Gen. Hardee's command, except
Col. B~orisnd's cavalry, has fallen back within
the limits of Ark meas. The two detacbmeDts
Of Col. BoTlaud'5 cavalry are stationed, one
at Donipban, and toe other at PopdeT's Mil,
Mo Hsrdee's backward movement bas given
rise to a Thousand and one cCnjectures." It
is amusing to listen to the various reasons as
signed by officers and pTiyates for Gen. HaT-
deC's retreat, as they term it. Without Pre-
tending to be wiser than the "worshippeTs at
the shrine Of Mars,'' / may be allowed to eX-
press an opinion, at least, as to the cause of
the present posi- ion Of the arTnv-lrke others,
however, who venture TO speculate upon move
meEts which they do not understand, l may BE-
in error. GreeHville, Mo-, TIE point occupied
by Gen. HaFtee, for some time past, is rather
a poor place for subsisting an army Of any
magnitude. fbis, with the results Of a
want Of harmony, in the movements OF Gems.
Pillow and Thompson, SO as 10 have rendered
Gen. Hsrdee's advance safe and effective, are,
l think, the main reasons FOR bis falling back.
Who is to blame for this van Of concert, is a
question which l shall not pretend to decide
| may say, however, with safety, that Gen.
Hardee is blameiess in the whole matter-in-
deed, the other distinguished officials named,
may likewise be bIame!ess.
Camp troubles are becoming less frequent as
the officers and soldiers leaTn more OF Gen.
Hardee's mannerOf doing .hings. All things
considered, this army is pretty well organized
and prepared for efficient service. Gen. Har-
dee is very industrious, and is constantly
gaining upon The confidence and affection Of
The army.
