By the new Constitution Of this
State. which will go into effect, SO soon
ss the new State project is consummated
public educOtion is made an essential
and important feature, and it is a fea,
ture that as much as any other, will con.
tribute to the prosperity and growth Of
the new State. The convention appears
to have hcen at special pains to provide
for an efficient system Of Free Schools.
Article X, provides that all moneys
acCruing to this State, from delinquent
or forfeited lands, all grants and devil
'es made for the purpose Of education
generally, and all grants and devises
where tie purpose thereof is not Pecsf.
caHy defined, the States Just share Of the
Literary fund, the proceeds of taxes on
the revenues Of any corporation herehr-
ter created, moneys paid fer exemption
from military duty, and all that may
arise from Q variety Of other sources,
specified and unspecifel, shall constitute
fund, 10 be called the School Fund, the
interest of which shall be applied anon,
aHytothe supponoffree schools through
cut the State, and 10 no o,hcr purpose
whatever. sHi
The probabilities are, that in q very
short time tho result Of these provisions
will be the most magnificent school
fund, possessed BY any State in the Tn
ion; and i only properly husbonded
and applied, will soon put an end to the
taant, of Virginia being one fthe most
illiterale States. The Constitution makes
provision for the organization of school
Board, on the same principle as such
bodies are constituted in other State s.;
and it is presumoblo, that with the ex,
pOrience of those States before them, our
Legislators will bc able TO incorporate
many improvements. rr-
The want OF a general and efficient
school org6uilition was the. difficulty
under which the old State labored.--
There was no deficiency Of funds, but
they We're 90 unwisoly applied, that a
lergo portion Of the funds never reached
the purpose and the radical error Of
making discrimination balween the
children Of rich aud poor, prevented
even what did reach il, being as eiIeCtual
as might have been desired. II seems
that the more ignorant man is, and the
poorer the greater his Indifference 10 ed !,
.ucntion, and tho greater his dislike to
confessing bis poverty in Lhatway. The
consequence is, that in such casos pride,
poverty and Ignorance 60 together and
are handed down from father to son, ia

This is the class that Free Schools arc
intended to reach, and this is the very
class that has given tone to Virginia pol
itics, and contributed largely to swamp
her in rebellion against tho United States
Government. Had the aggregate ofOd.
ucaIion been as large in Virginia az il
was in any Of the free States. sho never
would have embarked IN secession, aud

Postal Money Orders.

The United States House of Repre-
sentatives has passed the bill providing
for postal money orders, as it did last
winter; but it has received no action
in the Senate. 1t would be a pity to
have it lost; for something of the kind
is greatly needed. The public have no
correct idea of the vast number of
money letters which pass through the
mails; and although the losses are but
few, they are enough To justify the
change proposed, which would be a
perfect protective against theft or
fraud. A person desiring to send any
sum of money to correspondent would
procure post office order, which would
be good for the amount named at the
office designated--payable to a party
described, upon his endorsing the or
der. The process is simple and yet
secure. 1t has been in operation for
90 years in Great Britain, accommoda-
ting the people and yielding hand
some revenue to the Government.

Swindiimg the Government.

An astounding series of frauds on
the Government has just been exposed
in New York city, the guilty parties
being officers, contractors and others,
who, it appears, have perpetrated swim
dies to the amount of nearly million
of dollars, in the organization, equip
ment and supplying of troops. About
thousand persons are implicated in
these worse than reasonable transact
tons.
We can imagine no punishment that
would be too severe for those wretches
who are deliberately scheming to swim
die the Government under the present
circumstances Of national trial and
danger. They must be as depraved
and heartess as they are destitute of
patriotism and honor. The guillotine
would be the most fitting instrument
for them.

Admission Of western Virginia.

The bill admitting Western Virginia
as State into the Union, was approved
and signed by the President on We'd
nesday last, thus adding a new star TO
our national constellation. This we
consider eminen,ly proper and just.
To have refused its organization, would
have been to cut it off from connection
with the Federal Government, and to
have permitted it to fail under the con-
troll of the rebel authorities.

a. Blunt and Heron appear to be
doing big business down in Arkan-
sas. The rebels are made to feel the
power of the Federal arms almost ev.
cry day. We guess the rebellion in
Arkansas is getting on its last legs.
Word comes that portion of the Fed
eral army has paid flying visit to the
Cherokee and Choctaw Indians, and
that they manifest wholesome desire
to repudiate their connection with the
rebellion, and return to the national
protection aud allegiance.
