private schools were plenty. Common schools
were hard to find but colleges, seminaries, in
stitutes and academies were in abundance 1t
has been stated that the South, which moro
than neglected its public schools, maintained
these costly superior schools more generously
than the Northern people dix theirs for the
reason that they wanted schools for superior
and wealthy class, while we wanted schools for
the people Virginia had 42l private schools
and colleges, literally endowed, to 327 in Mas
Sachusetts. Alabama opposed her 2I3 to Con-
necticut POP. Alabama laid no tax on these
high-class schools. Rhode Island educated on
the cheap free system 25, $40 pupils South
Carolina, with four times her population, edu-
Gated 20,7l6; but South Carolina had 240
high-priced colleges for the aristocracy, all
untaxed, while Rhode Island could count but
so. The Southern gentry were largely cultiva-
ted, accomplished people They had the best
OF teachers, professors, tutors, and gOvernesses.
Some of them had fine private libraries Their
tables were covered with elegant literature
Cultivation was one of their marks of distinc-
ton. They used it for political influence and
social prestige. 1t was badge and a luxury.
Between the educated and the uneducated
classes of the South there was this great gulf
fixed. The slaveholding caste were the edu-
Gated; the -slaveholding classes, white or
black were the illiterate and because these
last were 50 numerous and might be so fOrmid-
able, the aristocracy played them off against
each other, for its own advantage, making the
whites despise the blacks, and the blacks hate
the whites.

countryman stepped into Il Jew clothing store
in POughkeepsia and requested to be shown q
coat vest and pants. The countryman was
told he could have the suit for $25. Examin-
ing the material pretty closely he found that
the cloth was very poor. Making a practical
examination, he pressed his fingers through
the seam in several places and left the prcmi-
ses. The enraged clothier followed the man
and had him arrested for damaging his goods
When all was ready, the clothier was to bring
the clothing before the court. The country
man was examining closely the goods which
were in the court, which he asccrtained were
not the ones offered him on sale, but clothes o.
more costly quality. Taking in the situation
he suddenly and to the surprise of ALL put hi.

Archbishop Pureen's Services Im the
Cause of the Union.

Tne Universal Neics, the London
Irish organ, of September 2lst, contains
an extended sketch of the Rev. John
Baptist Purcell, D. D., OF the Province
OF Cincinnati, Ohio. Archbishop Pur-
cell is the oldest in rank OF the Catholic
Hierarchy of the United States. The
sketch before us commences with q
tribute to the Catholic prelates of the
United States, declaring that to the late
Archbishops of New York and Balti-
more, and the present Archbishop of
Cincinnati, credit should be given for
the present influential position of the
Catholic Church in America. 1t is still
little singular that the Universal NetVs
considers that the chief glory of Arch
bishop Purcell consists in his devotion
to the cause of the Union. The NerrS
says:
The spring of 1861 heard the cannon
OF the most unproyoked rebellion in
history thunder against a fort in
Charleston harbor. The banner of the
great Republic was hauled down and
outraged by order OF the Chieftan of a
Confederacy that was to have human
slavery for its cornerstone. The en-
tirety of the Union of the States of
North America was threatened to be
dissolved, to be tarnished and annihila-
ted; the happy homes of the millions of
men and women, who, with bleeding
hearts, were driven from the land of
their fathers by the exactions of rapa-
cious landlords and the execution of
the provisions of the most devilish land
code ever devised by fiends in Hades or
scOundrels upon earth, was to be de-
sLroyed; to be scared by the hot iron OF
war by band of ambitious men, whose
only grievance was the election of a
President they did notlike. They ina
gined when the flag of Sumter went
down 1t would lie in the dust forever
but they erred most feRrfully. When
| IL went down more than million went
up, and twenty million hearts and arms
vowed that the COnfederacy should
never exist but in the grave, and that
the Intended cornerstone should be
obliterated forever.
Among the twenty millions OF hearts
there was not one that throbbed more
anxiously for the success OF the ma
tional cause than the subject of this
sketch. With pen and tongue he
counselled all to uphold the Govern
| ment-tO give it nm enthusiastic and
hearty support. When opportunity Of
| fered, he gave his Immense influence
| in favor of the Emancipation Procla-
nation, and adjured all to aid in the
complete extirpation of human bond
age. In his Lenten Pastoral for 1854 he
wrote, I'VE go with our whole heart
| and soul for the maintenance OF the
| Union and abolition of slavery"
No one has welcomed peace more
| joyfully none have done more TO heal
the wounds of the strife. He has lived
to see his diocese extend and improve
as no diocese ever has. None will de-
| ny but that he is worthy of this great
] oh nd "a raannn9ihtItIV
is only worthy of him. His
last important act in the United States
was his participation AT the Grand
Council OF Baltimore; his last in Eu-
rope was to participate in the imposing
obsequies at Rome last June.

Heavy frosts often come the last OF
this month, and it is quite important
that sugar beets and mangels should
be housed before the crowns are frozen.
Carrots and turnips are not damaged
by light freezing, and often grow
through the month of November in this
latitude, and the only risk in leaving
them out is in the sudden setting In OF
winter. The earlier potatoes are put In
a dark cellar after they get their growth
the better. They should be stored in
small bins where they can be examined
easily for the first indications of rot.
The tops of turnips, beets, and carrots,
make excellent feed for cows; and ifthe
pastures fall they Will be found well
come addition TO their bill OF fare.
They will pay for carting, as one can
not turn the cows into the field where
they are grown. The practice of feed
ing roots in the winter is steadily gain
ing in all the Eastern States. -'

comment here, for it is known that the
Washington Star was officially author

that the Blairs have started this story

Chase interest. Altogether, the politi-
clans have had a spicy time in discuss

A Conresslou-.nerore tho War.

In an editorial article on the recent
elections and the prospect, the New
Orleans Picayune has these incidental
remarks concerning the condition of
the South before the war:
1--WE desire capital to come among us,
but not to be lent to impractical plant
ers, whose assumption of the latter title
is misnomer, or to such as gamble on
the uncertainties of what are called
staple crops. Even when these men
controlled large bodies ofnegrO labor
ers, and could count on the continuance
of such stupid labor as these furnished,
they caused an annual loss to the State
in the dimiuution of the fertility of its
soil and the usury which was carried
to other States and countries. True,
there was high wassail, and carriages
and fat horses, fresh from the rioh pas
turage grounds kentucky came
every year, but in spite of good crops
some years, and bad crops OF staples in
others, with no other crops 10 supply
their places, the annual weight of debt
increaBed over the land, while the "im-
provements" became every year more
dilapidated, and the land, except where
aIluvium rendered itlimp possible in less
than n century, was annually decreas-
ing in value.n -,I

Hon. Frank Thomas On the Political
situation,

From he Frederick (Aid.) Republican.
Hon. Francis Thomas, member of
congress from this district, arrived In
our city on Friday evening last, and
was called on by large number of his
friends. A committee from the Union
Republican Club, which was holding u
meeting at the rooms of the Loyal
League, was invited to walt upon Gov.
Thomas, and requested him to address
the meeting. He responded most
cheerfully, and when he arrived at the
hall found n most Intelligent and en-
thusiastic audience awaiting to hear
him. His address, as usual, was able
and eloquent, and demonstrated the
certainty OF an overwhelming Republic
can triumph in the approaching Presi-
Dental campaign. Governor Thomas
is fully up to the advanced position OF
the Republican party, and has firm
and abiding faith in the early triumph
of it's principles. With him, the Union
men of Frederick county are deter
mined to battle.on until full and ade-
quate protection is firmly secured to
every loyal man in the country, and
until peace is restored upon the basis OF
impartial justice to all men.

THE PHILOSOPHY OF REMEDY,-The
popular, and to great extent the pro-
fessionaI, notion of cure in cases of dis
ease, is that the drug prescribed either
contains some element lacking in the
physical organism, or that it operates
as an antidote to some active poison
existing in the fluids of the body. In
a recent essay on "Tbe Correlation OF
Force in its Bearing on Mind" Prof.
Balm refutes this assumptions
In large class of diseases Wa have
obviously species of insolvency, to be
dealt with according to the sound
method of reAdjusting the relations of
expenditure and income. And, il such
be the true theory, it seems to follow
that medication is only an inferior ad-
junct. Drugs, even in their happtest
application, can but guide and favor
the restorative process just as the stir
ring OF FIRE may make 1t burn, pro-
vided there be the needful fuel.
