CHARLESTON. Jan. |

CHARLESTON, Jan. II.
There has been great calm here
for several days, but it is an illusory
calm--a calm like that which prcccdcs
the eruption of a volcano.
Lieut.. Talbot, Major Andcrson's sub.
ordinate, has just returned this eve
ming from Washington, and VIC ex-
pcct soon the arrival of Haync, which
will probably inaugnrate new period
of action. The obstinate refusal of
the Federal Government to cvacuate
Fort Sumpter, excitcs everywhere an
Indignation which threatens to be-
come more and more irresistible.
The j.uncsse dorce Of South Carolina
demands some rccompcnsc Of laurcls
for their tatiguing labors, and should
not be at all surprised at coup de main

among the officers who shall, in a
burst of ardor, give the signal of at
tack, will be immortalizcd by the
poets and historians of South Carroll

been allowed in regard to the attack
should not be attributed to the ncgo.
tiations at Washington, but rather to
the necessity Of completing the means
for the assault. There is no rclaxa-
ton in the strategical preparations
Fort Sumptcr will not be subjected
merely TO the fire of Fort Moul,ric
and Of Morris Island, but also to bat
tcrics erected on other portions of Sui
livan's Island, which will assail it
from different directions.
Meantime, there is no idlcncss at
Fort Sump!cr. They have just built

believe they arc called technically, a

PROGRESS OF EVENTS.

CHARLESTON, 5. c., Jan. 18th.
The Intelligence that the Govern
mcnt has refused to surrender For,
Sumptcr, hut directed Maj. Anderson
to hold and defend it, has created
something of sensation to-day. There
is but one response, which is, "Thcn
wc will take it," Word has been
sent up from the batteries on Morris
Island, Fort Johnson, and Fort Moul-
trio, that they are ready for the work,
and hundreds are anxious to be first
in the assault The plan is to play
upon the fort, and engage the garri-
son till they are exhausted, and then
make an assault in boats with scaling
ladders, &c. Floating batteries have
for several days been in course of
construction, which are TO be brought
into use in making the assault.
\ vigorous defence from Fort Sump-
ter must prove terribly destructive to
the lives of the bcsiegcrs and assail.
ants. This they know and confess.
ltprcscnts no objection, seemingly, to
the undertaking. On the contrary,
there is growing and almost alarm
ing uncasiness on the part of the SOL
dicrs because they are not ordered to
the undertaking. If Fort Sumptcr is
not acquired by other means, we think
Gov. Pickcns will give the order in
less than one week
A battery is being erected at Cum
ming's Point, where some 62-pounders
have been placed in position. Cum.
ming's Point is three quarters of
mile distant, and is the nearest bat
terry to Fort Sumpter, the battery on
Morris Island being upward of one
mile and quarter distant, and Fort
Moultrie Il little less. Structures of
Palmetto logs are being erected at
those batteries for protection against
the shells of Snmptcr. Within the
last twcnty.four honrs howitzers and
inortars have been planted at those
batteries, with the view Of Smelling
Sumptcr, which, the rumor now is. is
not bomb-proof 1t seems to be con-
ocdcd that Sumptcr will make short
work Of Fort Moultric, her heavy guns
being in position principally Oh that
side.
While there is good feeling on the
part of the rebels towards Major An
derson and the officers of his garrison
generally, Capt. Foster second in
command, is the object of consdcra-
ble animosity. Since the evacuation
Of Fort Moultrie, and the occupation
of Fort Sumpter, that gallant officer
has twice fallen into their hands, while
on visits to the city. The last time
he was kept for several days a prs-
oncr in Fort Moultric, and it was only
when he assured them that they might
take the alternative Of letting him 90,
nr OF retaining him at the expense of
Fort Snmpter opening on them, that
he wasrestsred to liberty. Since that
'ine. Capt. Fcsler has not renewed

Graded Schools-PrOgreSS Of Pupils.

oouou ovuUVlo i",'sS' Va ~P'
One great. and might with pro-
priety say the great banc of our COM
mon schools, is the frequent change Of
teachers. 1t appears to be fixed de-
cree that one teacher shall not be en-
ployed in the same school more than
one, or at most tro successive terms I;
Just as he becomes in a measure ac-
quaintcd with his pupils, begins to
understand the peculiar disposition of
each, and to learn their habits of mind !;
when the school is in just that stage
of its progress when it needs more
than at any other time, the instruc.
tions of one who understands the re-
quiremcnts of each pupil, he is obliged
to pick up his traps and make tracks
for some other field of effort, leaving
his place to be supplied by stranger,
and his scholars to pursue the same
treadmill course which they have al
ways followed, making but little ad-
vanccmcnt from year to year, ever
coming the same lessons, and pro-
crossing about as far as they have
before, only to be obliged to go to the
foot of the Hill of Science" upon
the acquisition of each new teacher,
and climb the now familiar, and prob
ably hated ascent.
But in a Graded School this would
no. be the case. There, under the
guidance of the same corps of teach.
ers, a pupil may advance just as rap
idly as his capabilities will allow
being placed, it may be in the lowest
class in the primary department, he
can by proper diligence and applica
ton to study rapidly advance, until he
stands, after the lapse of years of well
directed study, at the head of the
school, fully prepared to enter upon
the arena of life, with a we'll trained
mind with enlarged capabilities fol
thought, aud with the certain prospec,
of honor and usefulness before him.
In our own State, all have the priv.
ilcgc of attending school, between
the ages Of five and twcnty-onc, pc.
riod of sixteen years during that
length of time, how much ono mi ght
learn if he had the advantage of a
school properly graded, where he
might, instead of the general plan,
"lcavc the frs. principles and 60 Oh
toward perfection" investigating new
truths, finding new charms investing
study, and new inducements allurine
him on in the exploration of science.
Are the citizens of St. Charles City
willing to content themselves while
their children enjoy the Indifferent
school privileges which they of nc
ccssity must under the present sys
tenn? or will they at the proper time
prove that they have the best inter

viding them with we'll arranged ant
