AccIDEST on THE macon & WESTERN
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Loss OF LIFR.-
Early Friday morning an accident took
place on the Macon 4 Western Railroad
which resulted IN the loss Of life, the details
Of which are as follows:
The Thursday night passenger train after
proceeding 10 within few miles Of Griffin,
sustained a break in the sxles of one Of the
baggage cars, and the train was stopped for
the purpose of making repairs. Immedi-
ately one OF the attaches OF the train was
sent back 10 signal a freight train which
was about twenty minutes in the rear.
From some unknown cause, the msn, who
II is a lodged was a green hand, proceeded
but q abort distance, and seated himself
near the track, and made no effort, evident
ly, 20 give toe necessary alarm.
The roaring Of the trsin was presently
heard BY some other attache Of the train,
and he rushed back with lantern in hand,
and signallgd down the brakes. The tain
was very heavily loaded and on a down
grade, and despite AL efforts to avert the
catastrophe, a. run into the passenger tram,
ms king quite q wreck OF the rear ear.
Fortunately 10 one was injured in the
car. Tive men--Mr. Arther ". John 0a, Of
Baker scounty, and a Kentuckisn, whose
name We did not learn--h0wever, stood On
the rear platform Of tbs next car, ia CONVEX
satiou, aud were thrown with violence be
tween the two cars, and terribly crushed.
Mr. johnson was instantly killed. The
other gentleman Was pinned in between the
wreck Of the two cars, and it was some i've
minutes before his mangled person could be
extrieated- He was living at last accounts,
but hiss life is despsirsd Of. Mr.. johnson
was merchant OF Baker, and was On his
way north to buy goods. He was man Of
high moral character, and was held IN the
highest esuuation BY his friends. He
leaves a wife and seversl children. His 70
mains were taken TO his home yesterday

Education in Tennessee.

Il is an admitted fact upon all hands that
the cause Of education n our State has been
much neglected; not from any want Of a
desire Oh the part Of the people for i'm
proveneRt IN this particular, but as we be-
heye, because OF the ruling interests and
parties fee ing but little concern in the ma :
Ter OF popuisr education. The elevation OF
the masse, in the scale of intelligence is a
subject not likely to receive much favor
from slave holding community; the rea-
sons Of this are obvious upon a moment's
reflection, and need not be enlarged upon.
The ruling class, where slavery is tolerated
must be slave owners, who as a rule are Of
course men OF wealth., whose mems enables
them TO afford their sons and daughters
educstions at Institutions OF learning sOroad
while the child Of humble parents, for a
want Of a fostering care for the cause Of
eiucation by the Slate Legislature, is una
bic to incur the heavy outlay Of money
necessary to a college courBe, and unless Of
strong natiYe determination, and persevers
aDce JoiOyercoms the obstacles in mis- path
must grow up with no other schooling than
is furnished BY sort Of chance in the in
Projections of a bad system. Although the
pecuniary affairs Of our State and people
are such thst any greater onsrstion Of them
than IS absolutely necessary lie not advise
utet YET We hO.d that no greater necessity
exists than that Of applying under proper
Limitations and system liberal sum for the
support of common schools. Our Legisla-
tue is now in session; their deliberations
are unrestrained by pro-slavery influence
and power, and it is but reasonable to ex-
peet something from il in the way Of i'm
prOvement of-our school laws.
Children and you hs sre growing up and
ripening into maturity around Us, for whose
training and culture our State authorities
are IN some measure at lesst responsible. Il
Is encouraging to all that our Governor
tavOrs the employment of every available
means for the accomplishment Of this end.
" The Teachers Association, I" IS we believe
Il is called, which lately held q meeting in
Nashville, is on organization from whose
efforts and deliberations we nsy hope Tor
valuable and practical suggestions IN the
matter. By popular attention 20 the sub
Jet, a few short years will work wonders
an giving to the State Of Tennessee system
Of common Schools, which, ii not equal TO
the most admired Of our Northern Sisters,
will Tar exceed any stretch Of past efforts
IN that direction GreeaviHe Era.

Some vague talk has been had about the
assumption by the United States Of the Con
federate debt, and il has been pooh poohed
at As an Hbsurdity. Nothing Is absurd that
Is right and has for its bottom a sound min
ciple. The theory of the Federal and sue
cessiul party In the late war was that the
Ouniederata Governments never had an ex-
istence-that il was but the fgmont Of a
prurient secession fancy--that the war in
t-ct was a civil war, and that the Southern
States were re6ellinus members Of The Umiou
uCc0- out Of the Union. Had the rebellion
been successful the Coniederaov would have
been recognized rs an independent Nation
shty aud would have been RESPONSIBLE 10
the outside world Tor its nationhs obliestiops
But Il did noI succeed. Wac then is re-
spansible Tor the foreign debt Of eleven
Ststes OF the United Siatesg ia French
o. British Consul had been impnsoned in
the South during the war, and the flag Of
either Of these nations violated, where would
their Governments have goae 10 Tor redressg
Not TO the Coniederacy, Tor Il was not a re-
cognlzed power, but 10 the United States
that claimed sovereignty over them. Why
eo1ld not these Governments claim payment
Of 3 loan % any Of these States bv their
citlsens upon the same principlee The an
ssers TO BE- given 70 sach claim would be
either that these Southern States were sep
arately or collectively soyereiens and the
United States Government was not response
bic Tor then debts. But the sword OF the
ualtsd states has quilted both proportions,
and has declared that the sole sovereigrty
resides az Washington. Well a sovereisn =
responsible % another sovereign tor the
money claims Of 10 citizens. This was ~
origin Of the FFeneh, English and suanis
INVASION OF Mexico, now being finished b
Napoleon alone.
IL the Government Of the United States

Net preftths plautatop, stocks, &C., say. $500
We DO not think this an overstatemens.
For, il planters could thrive on growing
| cotton at 10 cents per pound, paying $1,000
| per head for their Iaborers, they surely can
| grow rapidly rich on growing lust such cot
! ton with free labor at % y cents per pound
As 10 the alleged dehciency Of labor, We
regard it as of the same piece with the pre-
/ tense that white men could not work in the
Cotton fields of the South when free white
| labor was at that moment growingan excel
| lent staple alike in Northern Alabama and
in Southern Texas. ... ..-r
The cry has changed-now it is "niggers
| went work"-Which IS as groGndless as that
which il has supplanted. Open a store in
any part Of the South, and say, "Here are
Bacon, Flour, Corn Meal, Sugar, Tea, Sheet
/ ings, Calieoes, Ginghams, Flannels, Sai-
nets, etc, to be dealt out at cash prices for
lubofs and they who don wish or choose 20
spend their wages as they earn them shall
have the full balance due them in cash 50
soon IS the crop IS made"-and YOU will
l.seon have laborers in abundance and more
offering. ..-.
Certainly, we do not indorse the assertion
tl8s "niggers won't work." but they who
put faith in it msy do so in welcgme. Sup
ply shelter and food; pay good wages SO fast
as earned; and you can have all the laborers
you want, and suit yourself as 70 color. The
South has lost heavily in men by the war
but she has at least One Million White Male
adults to7day; two-thirds Of whom must
work or starye. Display the meal, meat
and fabrics where al who pass may see
them; and the great majority-no matter Of
what 'face-win work rather than starye.
And il labor should anywhere prove deficient
hundreds viii rush thither so soon as APP
prised of the want More than one million
have recently been relieved Of the musket

that they would rather lamish than work is

The question, how the citizens Of Nash
vile are 10 get their supply Of coal this
winter, without paying two or three prices
Tor IL, is u matter that interests all. re-
commend thst the citizens take steps 20 pro-
tect themselves, and not hold still until lhey
are skinned to death. We should al lesst
put the coal mongers to the expense Of hir-
ing some one 20 hold while they skin Stock
in petroleum is an the rage; but / would
suggest as We can do without petroleum,
and cannot do without coal, that we form a
stock company IN coal, aud let all the eiti-
zens take stock who wish, sufficient for their
winter supply, and LEI q reliable agent be
employed 70 20 in search Of coal, and 10
report progress % a board Of directors, who
shall instruct him what 70 do, or else sub
mit the whole matter 10 bis discretion, and
lot him make contracts for the coal to be
shipped Immediately, and delivered 10 each
stock holder al cost and carriage. ] heard
his much of d conversation on the street
yesterday, whether or not they should add
abe carriage 70 ATTY ceuts per bushel; aud If
this custom prevails again, if coal goes up
% serenty-fivs cents per bushel, we viii
still be taxed with carriage.
Coal can be obtained in large quantities
on Green river, Kentucky, and shipped
down The Ohio, and up the Cumberland, or
shipped up 10 Bowling Green, ADD thence
on the cars 10 Nashville; or il can be had at
many points on the Ohio river; or if il Is
found best, 80 to Pittsburgh. The thing
can soon be accomplished, and each stock
holder save more than one half the expense
Of his coat.
ID the above suggestions find favor with
the citizens, they can communicate with
the Mayer, and hs will call a meeting OF the
citizens for the formation Of the company.
sGNfATHIZKh-
Our CORES pendent has struck The right
key. II the people will take steps TO get
coal cor themselves they msy escape the
high prices which viii rule here just 50 soon
a ,he weather becomes icy, and coal ne
cessity. Bur nothing eau be accomplished
unless they act promptly. Pittsburg coal is
now selling in Louisville at 80 cents per
bushel, delivered; al Cincinnati, Pomeroy
aud Hartford City coal, Is selling at 32e;
Pittsburg and Youghiogheny, at S6@40ci
aud Camel. at l4,. As the weather grows
