Is in vigorous growth, aud the people
wish government that will promote,
rather than clog, their material pro

Of education, both general and scieu.
tito, es the means Of supplying both
the desire and the ability to grow in
wealth, our people, or at least those
who speak in public for them, do not
seem sufficiently persuaded. We
have, therefore, been delighted b
the perusal of the proceedings of our
State Agricultural and mechanical
Society, and by reading the reports Of
the Committees now first published.
Our worthy fellow-oitizen, Major T.
W. Woodward, has put another proud
feather in his cap, by his admirable
suggestions on the culture of fish, in
addition to those he already wears as
progressive Agriculturalist. But
tho report Of Mr.. Clemson is the one
that the State needs to read and to
study. 1t is a masterly demonstra-
tion Of claims of scientific eduoation,
In which We are so lamentably def
cient. Every position taken in the
progress Of Mr.. C's report, is fortified
