We call atteatien to and endorse the fol-
loving from the Macon Confederate:

Among other things of reformation in our
new order of things, there is no subject
which should receive more especial atten-
ton than the Inauguration Of some health
full system Of apprenticeship. II we are to
be truly independent We must educate and
train mechanics frem the youths of the
country; and this education and training
can never be efficient and attain excellence
under the present loose system Of appren-
ticeship which prevails at the South. There
ought to be- established certain terms Of ao-
premiership, sufficient to make those learn
ing trades masters of their various arts, in
stead Of turning them out upon the world
iackleg workmen, who know nothing oil
what they profess.
I'm our own business, that Of printing. we
do not End one good printer in five Of all
who travel, masters Of the art. Most Of
them have acquired an inkling or insight
into the business by working short while
aud then starting out in defiance Of all OBJ
legations to their preceptors and their own
best interests as journeynen--imsgining
as soon as they can set up four or Eve thou
sand ems reprint, that they are competent
wsrkmen, aud must, therefore, in justice to
themselves, command the wages due pro-
fsients Of the art. We have been greatly
annoyed by such workmen. In all candor,
we believe that the old English rule Of de-
handing pay for teaching boys the prin-
tiers trade, instead Of paying them for their
inefficient services, is good one, and
would be the means Of turning out better
and more intelligent class Of printers.
We have given our own trade as an IL
iu.tratieR Of the imperfection Of the me.
chahic arts at the South, as impaired under
the loose aud very Objectionable system
prevailing among Us. II would be to the
general welfare, not only Of mechanic,
themselves, but Of the country. if such 4
system Of apprenticeship we're enforced by
special act OF our Legislature as would
make it legally obligatory on the part o
masters and apprentices to serve sufFi
Gent number Of years as would ensure pro
fcieney and EXPERIENCES in the various art
and trades chosen by the youths oil th,

reliable accounts Early's army was
completely broken up and is dispersed.
Kersham had not reached Richmond bu,

vile when he received orders to rejoin
Early. The destruction Of the grain and
forage from here to Stanton will be a
terrible blow to them. All the grain.

Gen Sherman has stopped furloughine

the attempt will be an utter failure
However his situation being desperate
may lead him to attempt an attack on
Sherman's rear. RE err li7n' ="

desires. Did he not try to get johnson

which is entirely destitute Of truth. Nc
such word as DRIVE. in connection with

OF the lying scamp was, doubtless, to in.
cite others to do that which he is too grea,
. coward to undertake himself. BEING
himself drafted man. why did he no. a,
once call the members Of the Club to &C
count for the insult. instead Of trying to
incite others to do so? The reason is
he is too much Of dast ard and poltroon
to put his precious carcase in danger. Il
it is "intoleraJie." as "Phiste" says, "a
be Knocked and jeered by these vile scav.
engsrs of abolitionism," why has he borne
it thus long SO meekly? Is it not as much
bis duty as it is..of any other drafted mar
to aveDge the insult? Hell larger mar
than any member of the Club, and If bs
desires q collision with either one Of then
he knows where they can be found. Bu
there is no danger. notwithstanding the
rage and malice that surges through hi,
heart, Of his attacking either one of them
There was no intention on the part o
the Club to insult or wousd the feelings
