EpucATIox AT rHR S0UTH.-Gen. Arm
strong, who is at the head Of the Hamp-
ton Normal and Agricultural institute,
near Fortress Monroe. passed through
town yesterday, on business connected
with his school. As our readers know,
Gen. Armstrong has organized manual
labor school for colored teachers at Hamp-
ton, Va, where be receives as pupils
Young men and women who propose TO
teach among their bretheren in the South,
and has had great success, thus far. in his
undertaking. His school now has vaca-
ton of three months, and will reassemble
on the first of October. In the mean
time. he is building his main edihce,
handsome brick building, which viii cost,
when completed, some $4,000. and be
one Of the best school houses in the whols
South. Near il will be placed the GOTTA
ges in which his pupils are to live, IN fam
lilies Of six or eight, with garden plat,
and the appliances Of a rural home.
These pupils, who now number about
sixty, come from several states, frcm
North and South Carolina, Alabama Mis-
sissippi, etc. as well as IRON Virginia;
they pursue strict course OF study, and,
in their leisure time. work on the farm be-
longing to the institute, or the building
which is now going up. They are paid at
the rate of dolla. day for their work,
while their board is charged to them at
IS cents a day, so that by weeks work
they can almost pay for the board Of
month. Most of them are young men and
boys; and they are reported by General
Armstrong to be ept at study and easily
disciplined. The school. at present, is
supported by the American missionary
society. but the cost Of the building is
paid in part by an appropriation from the
freedman's bureau fund. The Iest-some
Sl5.000-must be raised by subscription
at the North, and we bespeak the inter
est of our readers in so good q work.
Gen. Armstrong, who formerly lived in
the Sandwich Islands, and was familiar
with successful manual labor schools there,
feels no doubt of the success of his enter
prise, in which he has embarked with
great zeal. He feels. as all rehecting peo-
pie must. that the future Of the South de-
pends greatly on the education of the col
ored people, for which the States are not
likely to do much for years TO come. The
work must be done then by private re-
sources or by the general Government, or
by both cooperating with the people Of
the States. The whites of Virginia are
careless about the education of their own
class, and still more so about that Of the
colored people. and very little can be ex-
pected of them. The general Government
should give its department of education
the means to do something for schools in
the South, and perhaps Congress can be
induced to take some such action next
winter.-Sprinqield Republican, July 30.

Cass-Buchanan. Correspon-
uence.

The correspondence tetween Sec
retary Cass and President Buchanan,
which occurred about the time the
democratic leaders commenced break
ing up the government, has just been
made public.
1t is too long for our columns, but
the first letter is from Cass, dated
Dec. IL, 1860, in which he tenders
his resignation of the State port
folio, on account of his disgust with
the weak, treacherous Buchanan, and
his Cabinet, in refusing to reinforce
Sumpter, and otherwisb defend the
integrity Of the govern ment.
He says:
"In some points, which / deem of
vital Importance, it asIbeen my mis-
fortune to differ from you. 1t has
been my decided opinion, which for
some time past l have urged at va
rious meetings of the Cabinet, that
additional troops should be sent to
reinforce the forts IN the harbor OF
Charleston, with q view to their bet
ter safety, should they be attacked,
and an armed vessel should likewise
be ordered to aid, if necessary, in the
defense, and also should it be requir-
ed in the collection OF the revenue |;
and it is yet my opinion that these
measures should be adopted without
the least delay"
The essence of Buchanan's reply,
lated three days later, is in the fol
owing paragraph:
"The question on which we unfor-
,unately differ is that of ordering a
detachment of the navy to Charles
ton, and is correctly stated in your
letter of resignation. | do not in
tend to argue this question. Suffi-
cient to say that your remarks upon
the subject were heard by myself and
the Cabinet, with all the respect due
to your high position, your long ex-
perience and yourunblemishhed char
acter, but they failed to convince us
of the necessity and propriety under
existing circumstances Of adopting
such measure. The Secretaries ,oi
War and of the Navy, through whom
the orders must have issued to rein.

views, and while the whole rcsponsi
bilities for the refusal rested upon
myself, they Nero the members Of
