:. EDucATIoN.--Col. Charles Marshall struck
therightkey in some Of the opinions he express
ed 10 his recent speech before the Alumni of
the University of Virginia. We hear much of
the advantages Of Education-and no man
holds them higher or dearer than we debut
the praises are too often bestowed, and the
plaudits frequently awarded, more to the know
ledge acquired of hard, material subjects-sub
jects which are supposed to be likely to push a
young mans fortunes" in the world, than
to that education which humanizes, elevates,
and ennobes the heart In acquiring learning,
now, but omparative!y few regard how its in
auence ought to be exerted upon the manners,
the eonduc,, thu principles the honor, and the
integrity, of the learnerI The positive idea
of teaching Individuals should be along with
Informant n, to impart vlrtuous, honest, high
m,aded sentiments The ancients thought so.
''Emollit mores, nee sinit esse feros."
Bat how often. without proper care, Is the
direct reverse of this seer, and the educated"
yquth, sent into the world without particle of
edueatioa as to his temper his conduct, rr his
principles. The result We have seen In indlvl

tioas = 10 the history of the world, the cruel

piae. the disregard of ths Laws Of God and

which some are pleased to cali the ozark ages,
when general ''education" did not prevail, but,
when, nevertheless, learning was saved and Sc,
cured for future generations. Ttey have been

blaze of universal education" and in land,,

Sneech Of Col. Marshall.

The Charlottesville Chronicle furnishes an
abstract of tie speech of Col. Marshall, deIlv-
cred before the Society Of the Alumni OF the
University of Virginia We make an extract:
Col. Marshall, said that ten years ago he
thought every thing was working well and
that the education OF the people would ensure
the preservation Of liberty, but now, he saw
very plainly that there was very fatal defect
in the whole American system OF Education,
and that was in the almost exclusive devotion
to intellectual training. The tendency OF
our institutions, in leaving each man free to
seek individual happiness, and to make sue
cess the aim of each tor himself, was to foster
selfshness and disregard for the rights of
others, where they were not defined by law.
All education has heretofore had this in view,
chiefly, If not entirely, and the effort has been
to give intellectual education as weapon, both
of offence and defence, in the great struggle OF
life that is going on so actively among us. This
IS the great defect. Too little attention has
been paid to the social duties of man, and
while each one is educated that he may know
how, best to further his own interests, the
great duty incumbent on every man of not for
getting the welfare Of others, has been lost
sight of. The miods of men have been edu
Gated but not their hearts, and these have re-
NAMED hard and selfish, In spite of high men,
tai culture The restraints of law are suf-
fcient in the case of individuals but this
lack of moral training makes itself felt in the
action Of the whole society, Influenced, at 1t Is,
by the sentiments Of the individuals who COM
pose it, and we find the aohoze under the name
of the majority striking down at once both law
and iustica-the rights Of States as we'll rs OF
individuals. AS the only remedy for this, the
love of his fellow man must be adopted as an
habitua rule of action, by each citizen, and the
boys should be taughtat school, not only to make
great sacrifices for their country, but to be
ready at all times to yield little of self inter-
est, for the sake of their country and their TEL
low citizens. In laying before them the bright
examples with which our country aboundss,
they should be taught not only to die glorl-
ousIy, but to live we'll" All must recollect
how much is taught by example-that the good
build up social virtue and the bad undermine
it, and that there is 90 moral difference between
wrong done by many and by one. a..
Col. Marshall concluded his very able speech
in few eloquent paragraphs in which he ex
pressed his confidence that 10 the providence OF
God, we would eventually regain our liberties.
and that the whole country would again taste
the blessings Of quiet, and good government.

It is said that when the father Of Baron
Bunsen-- the son, afterwards, one of the most
distinguished. Prassians of the age,-sent him
into the world to carve his way to tame, he
gave him this advice :-"Stand erect before a
man with title" : We sometimes think that
this advice at this day, in this generation, and
in this: country, is worthy Of especial recon-
mendation. There is much implied 10 the
counsel--especially when we see around US how
often "thrit follows fawniug' and what a
temptation it is to men of weak or shaky
principles to, put money in their pockets, or to
obtain Offices, byoringing to those in authority.
Il is quite hard for some ito stand erect before
3 man with title, when the title is potent TO
bestow favors. Nevertheless, the law of ''com
peosatica'' in this, as in all other matters, fire.
ouenty Prevails. The man who follows the
nd sicr. ard will "s,and erect, :" may not Get the
money, " the Office, but he obtains esteem,
confidence and regard.
