New YoKR AND CHARLESTON STEAMERS
The Courier states that the Leary line of
New York and Charleston steamers is
meeting with unqualified success. Both
.rs. and have popular officers on board.
We would suggest that reduction Of the
passage money from $50 to $40, or even
$50, would increase the travel by that
route; as there are many pcrso:s through
the up country who give preference to the
l.nd route, merely on account of the DIFF
ference in price The fare from Savannah
TO New York is $40.

Education.

Four wears of war have made fearful
hiatus in the education Of the South. The
loss is not to be measured III rely by the
number of young men who, during that
neriod. we've drawn from the schools and
colleges into the field. Boys beneath the
military age were, in many parts OF the
country, deprived of their teachers: and
where they were not, they were gone
rally so much afflicted by the exciting
influences of the time, as TO become inca
pable of sustained or systematic study
Taking all the disturb ing elements in'0
consideration, it is hardly an eNagge eratloh
to say that the evil effect OF the war IN
this regard will be felt by very nearly the
whole of that numerous class whien HAS
been embraced between the ages of ten
and twenty for the last four years. for
several years 10 come, therefore, we can
..xnect but comparatively few additions to
the thoroughly educated class
We must not permit this gap to grow
larger by 50 much as single month
Amid the many subjects that claim our
attention now, one of the first should be
the instruction of our boys and girls. But
we must initiate better and higher sys-
tom of instruction than that which pre-,
vailed hefore the war. Out Of such Il
training as our youth received then, grew
among sundry i'll results. thatmateriallsm
which originated the mistaken doctrine
that "cotton was king" A young man
was thought sufficiently educated when
certain quantity of Greek, Latin and the
math hematics had been poured into him, as
into q sort Of passive receptacle. The
lesson which the teachers of the South
have to learn is, that simply TO teach is not
to educate; that the object Of education is
implied in the primary meaning OF the
verb ed,,core, that that object Is to draw
forth the faculties, moral and mental, into
full activity and power; and that where
this is not accomplished, the pupil will go
forth into the world with weapons which
he has neither acquired the skill or the
strength % WELD. We tfust that this
principle will DC Kept il view by every
head of school or college who may here
after preside over the studies Of our South
ern youth. IN proportion to the strict
ness with which it is put in practice, will
the history of the next generation, amid
the new order of things about to be ipau'
guratel. be colored by happiness or woe.

Carr. c. M. MAEvILLE.-Since our last
issue, We learn that Capt. Manville has
been removed as Provost Marshal of ihis
District. I: lis also intim tn at the cause
Of his remoya. is the fact that the board fell
under The diSpleasure of the Provost Mar
shal General, because they did their duty
too faithfully TO The citizens Of this District.
II is we'll known that many have censsr-
ed the board at Troy, for a too stern and
rigid enforcement of the law; and too
scrupulous performance of their duty but
The powers at Washington seem 10 held the
opposite. The ruth is, they saw the gross
injustice of enforcing the draft on the basis
Of The old enrolment, ard they in connec-
lion with Judge Mercnr, ouf Congressman,
took active measures to reduce our quota /,
in accordance with The advised enroll ment,
thus making the draft much less and just
what it should be. Unfortunately for Capt
Manville, his fidelity to the principles of
right and Justice TO the people, has resulted
in his removal. This is wrong and highly
prejudicia 10 the Administration and the
country. The people in this portion OF tie
district, have the strongest confidence in
the ability and integrity of Capt. Manville

request the re-Iastatsm enl OF Capt. Man.
vile Their confidence in him is unsha-
ken, and we trust ;he' authorities at WASH
in9ton will fully understand the fact. so evi
den. here, that the public good demands his

rHptions exposed in other districts, we are
justly proud of our board; for the man does
not live, who ddres to question its integrity.
