contemporary are invaluable, and though not
dedicated to partisan emissions, are full of dig
nifed reflections on public affairs, expositions
of our great natural resources, and literary
papers, whichmake it noisless but active
agent in presenting the civilization of the
South, in its true aspect.
AS the present writer has no personal
acquaintance with the accomplished editor,
and nothing more than a general interest,
such as any thoughtful man must feel, in
his enterprise, he trusts that the public will
not confound this just tribute to the merits of
a charming paper to any personal regard, or
mistake it for the language Of sterreotyped
eulogy. The paper deserves patronage, and
we trust will find its way to every fire side in
the South .-Ht

TIE AChers.

Among the real workers of the age those,
perhaps, who accomplish the greatest good
with the least noise, when their duties are
faithfully performed, are the teachers of
youth. Few professions are more arduous
its responsibilities are heavy; its rewards pre-
carious; its monotony painful; and its exactions
severe.
Hedged in by these peculiar disadvantages
the men and women who conscientiously de-
vote themselves to the task CONSTRUCTION have
strong and peculiar cl. inns upon the consider
alton of all thoughtful minds,
But strong as these claims are they have
not yet received that general recognition to
which they are entitled. TIE public at large
will not listen to the learned disquisitions of
the philosopher iMLAC in his wisest mode ;
but let the sage bring out his flying machine
and at the moderate charge of fifty cents
a head he will have full house and his fall
into the lake will be hailed with ''raptures of
applause" Still, the old prejudice against
this class the spirit with which our people
lUOhcu Ol tCdCHclS, hCdiIy amin W thoI WIN
which respectable bruisers of the middle ages
regarded learned clerks, has begun to give
way to more enlightened judgment and
more liberal regard. This is an improvement
which does no honor to teachers aa class J;
but to the public, for it shows that the people
are themselves lberalized in their views and
opinions, These just reflections have been
suggested by the fact, that yesterday many
of our schools began their fall session.
Among them Mr.. GALT's and few will fail
to agree with US when we declare, that he is
an ornament to the class of which our cotem-
porary, the National Intelligence, has recent
ly said, ''We look upon the profession Of
teacher as second to none in republic it
point of dignity responsibility and large use
fulness."
Mr.. GAIT has the wisdom of IILAo, but
don't sufficiently understand the flying ma
chine; notwithstanding this, however, We trust
that he and his brother laborers will meet the
successes he and they merit at the hands of
this community.

Terrible Explosion at ALBANY.

Albany, September IL "A terrible explo-
sion occurred here this morning. The saw
and planning mill of S. and G. Rork, corner
of Lawrence and Water streets, blew up at
$40 o'clock, killing ten or twelve persons,
and seriously injuring eight or ten more No
cause is known as the engineer was killed
with the others The noise of the explosion
was heard to great distance, and nearly all
the windows in the vicinity were broken. A
number OF persons were struck with frag
ments of timber and stone,
The mill was owned by s. & G. Rork, with
Nelson Rogers, wealthy lumber merchant
of this city, as silent partner. The establish
ment covered an acre of ground, and it is said
the loss is about $4,000
The following is a list of the killed:
John Church, engineer; had wife and A
children. He was 40 years of age. His body
was all blown to pieces, and was gathered up
in box
John Hoffman, % years of age unmar-
ried employed in feeding the planning ma
chine.
John Rork, cousin of the owners, twenty
five years of age; leaves widowed mother.
James O'Neil, boy, Is Or 16 years of age,

spectators, many Of them inquiring after their

"SWe ct is the Hum of Bees"

| We have all heard of lion-tamers, and in
deed, many of us have seen these heroic per-
sons in spangled jackets, shamefully abusing
detected animals of the Carnivora family
VAN AMBURG stoud at the head of this pro-
fession, and We suppose had more astounding
stories to tell than either GORDON CUMMING,
who shot lions, tout of long bow, it was
said,) or Lieutenant GERARD.
Then Mr.. RAREY, the great American horse
tanner, created great sensation; and we have
seen some curiously successful experiments of
the sort which satisfy us that if he had been
in MAzEPPAs place, he would have managed
his Tartar of the EGkrane breed" in more
comfortable if less poetical manner.
Another wonderful man has now made his
appearance at Saratoga person who tames
bees: This parsonage seduces these industri-
Gus little insects, roverbially busy from their
ordinary occupations, and induces them t
follow him in the most incomprehensible
manner
This bee-tamer takes extraordinary liberties
with the persons of his gold powdered friends
as. for example, stuffiing them into his mouth,
as an old salt does his quid of tobacco, and
then blowing them out" without disturbing
the serenity of their temper, or finding, as the
curious Irishman did, in his first study in this
department of zoology, that the bee has .
ID hot foot iv his own"
Of course, he has not disclosed his secret;
but it seems that he has succeeded in carrying
away the cunning little mathematician as
captives to his art, aud revolutonizing their
domestic habits i'll very remarkable manner
Perhaps, in come golden age yet to come, we
may have PETRUoHIo in real life, when We
may be certain that his secret will command
fabulous price in the matrimonial market
After reviewing these lion, and horse, and
bee, and possible wife-tamers, the grave ques-
ton arises. have we man-tamer among us {?
and if So is that man-tamer Mr. JOHNSON?
The future alone can answer this questi on
and we watch him in the arena as the Court
Of stout King FRANCIS watched DE LoRaEs
