Y The following remarks on Schools, by
the editor of the Yidette though written
with local reference, have a general APP
plication:
We regret to learn that in many neigh
borhoods in our county the people are with
out schools. This is not as IL should be.
Ignorance has always been the prolific
breeder of vice, and surely there is vice
enough in the land now without adding to
it. What is the matter Are we retrogra-
ding Are our people becoming lnsenslble
to the advantages-the necessity of educa-
ton Is ii that many of the boys in the
country have necessarily been placed in the
field to make bread, and to repair, in some
measure, the ravages of the late disastrous
warl This is right; we love TO see boys
taught to work; we love to see them in
dustrious. Industry is the handmade Of
education, and the mother of all true great
ness But are there not enough girls and
little boys, unfit for service in the field, to
start schools now, to which the boys now
at work can be added when the crops are
laid By ? Don't think of starting male
schools, female schools, grammar choolsr
nor any other kind of exclusive schools,
Just at this time and please don't try to
build school-house at every mans front
door. The phrase often heard Ito bring the
means of education to every mans door Is
fgurative, not literal. Make mixed schools
old fashioned field schools, in which all
the branches, or at least all the common
branches, are taught Get good teachers
a bad teacher is like bad egg, dear at any
price. Other qualifications being equal
the more branches they can teach the better
for advanced scholars can then be taken
into the schools, who would, otherwise, be
excluded. The strengthening of the schools
should always be kept in view Do not
mind sending two or three miles to school
over bad road In the early settlement of
the county. boys, and girls too, did not mind
walking three OF four miles to school
What were boys and girls feet and legs
made for but to walk with Let each sub
scriber sign more than he thinks he can
send,i andithenIuse every effort to fill his
time

The IndiRent FamiIie. of our soldier.

GEM N vi S0A0&GA@s
The Legislature appropriated at its last
session 20 per cent of certain taxes to the
maintenance and education of the families
and children of deceased INDECENT soldiers.
The amount was TO be distributed by the
Auditor according to the official reports of
the yarious boards of police of the counties.
Circulars have been sent TO them by the Au-
ditor, and the Governor has twice notified
them, by proclamation, of this provision.
YetIthere have been but seven boards of po-
lice (of as many counties), who have made
their reports. Even here, in Kinds county,
containing the capital, no report, as requil ],
has been received from the Board of Po-
lice Why is this Are there but seven
counties in Mississippi which have INDECENT
families TO provide for We know this
cannot be SO. Then are these counties
all who desire to aid their poor We do not
believe this, either What, then, is the
reason they do not send in their reports
1t is their duty to do So end the citizens of
every county ought to see that they do it.
The amount already set aside from the tax
es, to be distributed among such poor, is
neAEly SoUVOO- Inc law requires the AUDI
tor to havethis sum distributed by the goth
ofMay. Up to this time, the following
counties, viz-Smith, Winston, Tippah,
Kemper, Davis, Leake and Rankin have re-
ported. If the other counties really have
the interests of the deserving portion of
their poor at heart, they will make at an
early day their report, in order that they
may procure the aid so generously donated
by the State
Until reports are received from all the
counties, we do not see how a proper dis
tributiou can be made. 1t is unfair to
cause suffering to continue in some counties
by the dilatory action of other counties in
forwarding their reports. We hope this
matter viii be attended to Immediately

A Portland steamer was found to be going
astray, on a recent trip from Boston, owing
to deviations of her compass. The deviation
it was also found, was caused by the steel
hoop skirt of a young lady who was in the
pilot house, and on her retiring the compass
resumed its proper position.
Steamers are not the only craft that have
been led astray by the attraction of hoop
skirts.

Y Facts which have come TO our knowl-
edge within the past week or two, says the
Kinds County Gazette Of the 9th, have
considerably shaken our views, hitherto ex-
expressed, with reference to the policy of
devisiug some means TO stay, for limited
period, the collection Of debts through the
Courts We had no idea that creditors con-
templated such wholesale coercion in the
collection Of debts as is now apparent in this
good county of Kinds. We thought, in
view Of the common ruin and disasters Of
the past, that great Indulgence would be
shown by creditors to all honest debtors
1t appears, however, from what has been
going on about here for the past week or
two, that creditors are becoming quite
blood-thirsty. Suits TO an astonishing num-
Der are being brought 10 the May Term of
the Kinds Circuit Court Men have been
sued without being asked for payment
others have been sued who have had the
money on hand for months TO pay their
notes, but could not learn into whose hands
they had fallen-others have been sued on
debts contracted during the war, when our
currency stood as 10 70 / with gold-while
others again have been sued. and their
property attached, who are temporarily alb
sent from the State. Many creditors are
certainly. overlapping themselves and if
many Of those who have brought suits
should fiud themselves foiled In the end.
while those who have not brought suits re-
alize their claims. they will have themselves
only to blame.
The relaxation in our views on this SUBJ
feet which has taken ploce, must not be i'm
puted TO personal considerations Never
having sued man in our life, and NEVER
HAVING BEEN SUED, we are disinterested
observer of passing events, and can afford to
svmpathize with the honest debtor, as well
as the generous aud kind-hearted creditor.

A sazgestien 10 oar Brethren OF the
mIaafnxfunf Pre1s.

There are now, we believe, as many news
naners in Mississippi as before the war, and
Almost every week we read the prospectus
of some new candidate for public favor. As
a general thing, the publishers OF our State
aeeu 70 comprehend and appreciate the true
mission of the press. and we are gratified 10
observe that all are enjoying a degree OF
prosperity unparalleled in the history OF
iournalism.in this section.
In glancing over the various exchanges
which come to US from all parts Of the State
we have often felt desire to become person
allE acquainted with their various editors
and publishers. There are many reasons
why the conductors of the press IN each
State should know and understand each
other better than they can through the
mere perusal of an exchange list. In some
States. we believe, Publishers Associations
have been formed, and annual meetings held,
at which are discussed various measures Tor
the welfare and elevation of the public press
why can we not have such an Association
in Mississippi? 1t would involve but little
time. scarcely any expense, and would be the
means. not only of thorough acquaintance
with each other, but would tend to elevate
the press, and conduce to the general public
good
We throw out these suggestions to our
editorial brethren, believing that they Will
commend themselves as practical and time
", and hoping that they may meet with a
General response. Without presuming to
dictate, we would further suggest that the
first meeting be held at Jackson on the first
Wednesday in June next and annually
thereafter, at such time and places as the
Publishers Association might determine
What say the press ?-Vicksburg Journal
The proposition of the Journal is one to
which we should think every member of the

open for such amendments as any one may
suggest 1t is scarcely necessary to say that
we have no objection to either time or place,
