The Marysville Appeal of the 25th in.
slant contains an article headed, 1.-THE
effects OF the war on the education of the
South" in which we End the following
paragraph, to which we takeexcepuon:
The ariStocracy of the South-the sons
and daughters Of slave holders-haye
been as we'll or better educated than the
first classes of the North"
The Appeal, generally correct in its de-
auctions, never committed greater error
than is manifest in this. The mass of the
sons and daughters of shareholders are as
ignorant as they are naughty and AFRO.
CANT. Indeed, there is no class of Young
men and women anywhere in America so
given to vulgar pride as those of the self.
constituted aristocracy of the Slave States.
And vulgar pride and thorough education
are altogether incompatible one with an
other. The better class of wealthy South
erners train themselves to sort Of snowy
breeding that is calculated to deceive the
superficial observer; and they practice the
conversational arts; and in many in
stances arrive at a proficiency in that re-
Spect that is at once the admiration and
astonishment of plain people WIN are &C.
customed to express the elaboration Of
their finer ideas and sentiments either in
writing or within the sacred bounds of
the home circle. These glib takers are
rarely earnest people. They practice their
colloquial arts for the effect they may have.
They excel the Northerners in this ac-
quirement, which is too much neglected
in the training of children in the Free
States. But it is great mistake to sup
pose any one class of the Southern gentry
better misunderstanding to our con-
struction of that word--than "the first
class of the North" For no people are
more thorough scholars than some of the
distinguished men of New England and
the Middle States. What Southerner ever
arrived at such vast scholastic attainments
as Edward Everett: Who among them
ever possessed the erudition of Mr.. Justice
Storey, Where in the South will you
find Bancroft, q Holmes, Sumner, or
q FELTON,: That much-abused great man,
Wendell Phillips, is deeper versed in all
that pertains to "education than any
man that ever did live in the South, and
there ore few men in the North now liv-
ing, or who have lived, that are or were
his equals. Perhaps Theodore Parker in
his day was the most learned man in
America. AS to the matter of education,
the children Of the mechanics of New
England, as a class far surpass the chill
dren of Shareholders. Indeed, the fact
hardly needs mention that those men and
women of the South who can boast of an
education at all, received it in some North
ern seminary or college We are willing
to accord their full measure of greatness
to the Southern statesmen Of by-gone
days, but there is vas. distinction be-
tween greatness of character and large
erudition. When both the quality and
the requirement once met and mingled in
perfection, they made Web

born peer '-Car,on appeal.

THE GREAT TUNNEL.

The great tunnel project of Mr. Sutro'
we learn, has a fair prospect OF being
carried out. Some seventeen of the capt.
talists of San Francisco and Nevada, men
who are deeply interested in the develop
ment of the Comstock ledge. have already
taken heavy interests in the enterprise
and it is now assuming the character OF an
undertaking which is to be carried out
The necessity of such great work is EVIL
dent. The cost of freeing our mines from
water is already enormous, and is inereas-
ing with every foot of depth which is &C.
ouired below the present level; and yet,
we are only comparatively short way
down. Unless some such drainage as that
proposed by Mr.. Sutro, 10 provided, our
mines will have to be shut up after they
have been worked down 800 or 1000
feet further, if not before. With such
work as he proposes to construct, COM
pleted, the mines on the Comstock lode
can be nearly as easily worked to that
depth below the level of the tunnel, as
they can be worked from the surface
without it, in all not far from 3,l00 feet.
In fact. the only question which is to be
settled is whether 1900 feet in depth of the
Comstock lode will pay for constructing
tunnel about four miles long-a question
which we apprebend few would hesitate
about answering in the affirmative. Last
winter Mr.. Sutro published pamphlet
showing some Of the advantages and
necessities of deep drain tunnel for the
Comstock lode, in which he makes some
calculations which shows the great ex-
pense which would be avoided by the
construction of such a work. The esti-
mate which he makes of the water which
would have to be drained from the lode
at the depth Of 1900 feet-the level of
the tunnel is $4,000 cubic feet per
hour; and by calculation based
upon the cost of pumping from the
Best & Belcher mine, (Which cost was
accurately determined BY Capt. Taylor
when no was Superintendent there,) he
hnds that it would cost Sl5,306 per day,
or S5,500,2S2 per annum, to pump the
water to the surface. With the tunnel
once constructed, the expense of keeping
it in order would be light. In fact, it is
reasonably supposed that the value Of it
for ventilation and the convenience it
would give in working the lode, would
much more than pay for keeping It in re-
pair. 1t would save then, in draining
alone, the enormous cum Of S5,500,232
per annum. 1t is estimated that it will
require about four years time to run a
tunnel from the Carson Valley to the Com
stock lode, the distance from the point at
which it is proposed to start it, to the lode
being about four miles, and the depth at
tanned at the ledge being 1900 feet. No
one who is directly or indirectly interested
in the successful working Of the Gold Hill
and Virginia mines, can have other than
a lively interest in this great enterprise;
and none who wish future success to this
county but who must wish success to this
undertaking, for their welfare is INSOFAR
ably linked together.

The RAGE FOR ASSASSINATION IN THE
SoUrH.-Booth's example seems to have
been initiated in the South quite extern
sively. There is some doubt about the
violent death Of Gen. Forrest, though he
richly deserved it. He murdered many
men with his own hand. and was really
responsible for the Fort Pillow massacre.
Now another rebel has fallen. A late
copy of the Galveston News tells US of the
assassination of Gen. T. J. Chalmers. It
says Of him:
This old and distinguished citizen of
Texas was assassinated in his bedroom, at
his residence, in Chambers county, on the
night Of the 10Th Of March, in the presence
ofhis wife and children, by being shot in
the right side of the face and head with
twenty. mine shot Of different sizes. He
died instantly"
Added to this, it is reported JEFF: Davis
had to give up his specie to his followers
to avoid assassination, and on the top OF
all we have a report Of the death of Kirby
Smith.

A FRENCH BoAsrER IN GuAYNAs.-
An American has been relating the arro-
gance Of the French officers in Mexico,
and how they are sometimes "sot back "
by our sharp-witted countrymen: A
short time ago French officer was play.
ing at billiards in public saloon where
there were several Americans. The
Frenchman was very boastful; he said
when the Mexicans were whipped in the
country around Guaymas, he intended to
march an army Of thirty thousand into
California and take it! "Yesi" inquir-
ingly responded an American. "And if
would" continued the Frenchman, II
could march through Texas and 60 right
through the United States" You could
that" said the American encouragingly,
"you could march into Texas and then
they'd take you right through the country
all the way by railroad to Fort Lafayette,
and it wouldn't cost you a cent! Try it,
old fellow, you'll have good time" The
Frenchman saw from the smiles which
pervaded the room, that something was
understood which he did not comprehend,
and retreated in bad order.

The WATER SUPPLY OF LoNDoN.-A
London weekly paper says: "Three of
the great water companies extend their
suction pipes of supply-their chyle ducts,
to follow out our anatomical similitude-
as far as Hampton. Miles and miles into
the country we may see great mains
yard in diameter, dipping under the
Thames, crossing deep bitches, and pass
ing along the fields and furry commons, at
certain points accommodating with
each other, in case either may require
temporary help. The far off source is
little dreamed Of by the thirsty soul, who
quaffs from the drinking.fo fountain in the
crowded street. He little fancies that,
like the lounger he watches at Verey's
sucking his sherry cobbler along straw,
he, too, is sucking at the stream through
ten miles of iron pipe, the end Of which
dips into the Thames close to Wolsey's
pleasant palace. The great mains of all
the companies are thirty-six inches in
diameter, and it must be remembered they
are free and fully charged at all times, so
that, in case of fire, the fireman has only
to turn the plug to get any quantity OF
water he requires. In some cases-Such
as at the great fire in Tooley street-thou-
sands of tons Of water are thus distracted
gratuitously without interfering with the
supply to the houses. At the beginning
of the present century the mains, indeed
all the pipes, were wooden-the trunks Of
trees bored out-and in no case of more
than one foot in diameter. How the met.
ropolitan giant must have grown, the size
Of his present iron arteries is proof. The
mains of eight water companies not only
supply London proper. but push out far
into the country. invading even the agri.
cultural districts, and supplying its farms.
They distribute in the aggregate upward of
l00.000,000 Of gallons daily, through
5000 and odd miles of main, and supply
$4,000 houses and factories, through
capillary pipes upward of 1000 miles in
length. II all the water daily used in this
great city were collected in one great res
ervoir, it would cover seventy acres in
extent and six feet in depth. AS the
spectator watched this great expanse Of
water, he would see it hour by hour
drained to the bottom by the collective
millions in the metropolis as calmly and
noiselessly as cup is drained by dusty
roadside traveller. The collective iron
heart, the steam engines which propel this
food. possesses force of not less than
z, 900 horses"

SPREAD OF FREEDOM.

The obliteration Of slavery in the United
States will probably prove to be the fore
runner of emancipation in all civilized
countries where involuntary servitude Is
now a local institution. The wave OF
freedom which has swept over the United
States already seems TO have reached Gu
ba. and reports from that island indicate
great commotion among the servile popu-
lation. A number of plantations have
already been devastated by incendiaries,
and there is abundant evidence that an
extensive conspiracy Is on foot for gen.
eral uprising of the negroes. The utmost
yigilanc is observed BY the authorities, but
the plot is kept so secret that nothing out
wardly appears, except the restiveness and
diSafection which the slaves make no at.
tempt to conceal. This alarming condi-
ton of affairs is attributable solely TO the
emancipation of the negroes in the United
States. The slaves upon the island now
chafe under their shackles, knowing, as
they do, that four millions Of their coun-
,rymen have suddenly been lifted from
bondage and invested with all the attri-
butes of freedom. 1t is not presumable.
Of course, that a slave Instruction in Gu
ba would be successful in establishing
freedom there by force of arms, but the
effect of such an outbreak would, doubt
less, occasion so much distrust and appre-
hension on the part ofthe whites as to re-
suit in voluntary manumission of the
slaves. The abolition of slavery BY
Great Britain, in its West India posses
sions, was attributable more TO the dam
ger of servile revolts than to the philan-
thropy of the British Government. The
Spanish Government, in view Of the
threatening demonstrations in Cuba, may
be constrained to adopt a similar policy.
However this may be, the contagion Of
freedom has certainly reached the slaves
Of Cuba, and sooner or later slavery in
that island must meet the same fate which
the institution has received in this coun-
try.
