The Late Homicide.

Messrs Editors Press and Hcrdld:-
We notice an the Chattanooga Tfmet. of
the 1st inst, the following:
"Col. Joseph Hodssan- of Montgomery,
in his eulogy of Gen. Cianton, speaks of
his assassination as a premeditated affair,
and alleges that the introduction of Gen.
Clanton to Col. Nelson was made by Col.
Fort for the purpose of bringing about
the fatal result. This statement does
Col. Fort the greatest injustice" DC.
In Justice to Col. Fort, we the under
signed, members of the bar of the 4th
Circuit of East Tennessee, submit the fol-
lowing statement:
We were in Knoxville in attendance
upon the Supreme Court at the time of
the unfortunate meeting of Col. Nelson
and Gen. Clanton, and while most of us
did not witaess the ~rencontre. W. have all
heard the statement of responsible persons
who Yere present or near when General
ClantOn was killed. From the facts as de-
tailed. so far as we have been enabled to
ascertain them, We feel authorized and
constrained to say, that there is not the
least evidence to show that Col. Fort,
either anticipated or desired any difficulty
between the parties; all the facts and
circumstance as detailed show that the
meeting and introduction of Gen. Clanton
and Col. Nelson was accidental.
We are and have been for some time
perfectly acquainted with Col. Fort and
do not believe him capable of the treach-
ery or cowardice attributed to him by
Col. Hodgson, as stated in the foregoing
article.
Our information is that the personal re-
~lations existing between Gen. Clanton
and Col. Fort, up to the death OF the
former, we're of a cordial and friendly
character.
We make this statement unsolicited and
only for the purpose of preventing Unjust
ice being done to Col. Fort.

WHERE ARE THE CHILDREN,

A good number are in the schools. hut
far too many are on the streets receiving
instruction in idleness, crime and wicked
nAs. Those who allow their children to
grow up in ignorance must know that the
consequences are fearful. The street is a
great and successful teacher. We observe
boys, every day, taking lessons. Such
lessons too, as are likely to make very
lasting impressions on their minds. If
the children are not in the schools, they
are. nevertheless. taught such lessons as
parents may, one day, be unable to Grad
icate from their minds. Where shall the
children be educated? The School room
is open and all are welcome to enter. The
street also invites the children in a
thousand mysterious ways, and, it has
many attentive pupils.
The street is'a dangerous teacher. The
lessons it imparts strike deep down into
the mind. Parents sometimes appear
careless about this matter. Why is it?
Much is said about good teachers and
good schools. This is all right and well
enough. We need both. Who says any
thing concerning the school that is taught
on the street? Here most of the mis-
chief is done. The Roman Catholics
claim that they are able to convert Pro-
testant children to their faith Trovided
they are allowed 20 give them ele-
mentary training. The street is able to
do just the same thing.
Parents may as well choose between the
school room and the street now as at any
time. The children are sure to be educa-
ted in one or the other. There is a great
responsibility somewhere. There is no
necessity that boys should grow up and
become gnarled and knotty sticks of hu-
man nature, but they are certain to be-
come nothing more, if the street has them
under tuition a few years.
Where are the children?

1t should be the aim of every teacher
who expects to rise in his profession to Sc
lect for himself a library of useful books.
The ability of the teacher can often be de.
termined by the character of his books
1t is just as necessary for the school teach
er to read the standard works in his pro-
fession as it is for the lawyer to read and
study the standard authors on Law, OF
the minister to consult his Bible and com
entaries. 1t is seldom that we find a
teacher looking to this important matter.
AS soon as he enters the profession he
should begin this selection. Many valu-
able works can be found in the Teachers
Library published by A. S. Barnes & Co.,
New York. 4 little care will enable
any one to have such books as discuss the
best methods of teaching and conducting
schools. Our teachers need to read such
works as Mathew on Universal Educa-
ton, HART In the School-room, and
WELLS Oh Graded Schools.
Reading makes a full man and the
teacher must be nothing less to succeed.

Public Schools Versus Boarding
schools.

The law that established public gram
mai and high schools in Massachusetts
was one of the best ever enacted. These
schools enable us to educate our children
mainly at home, and that is the perfection
of education where the family and school
influences are combined where brothers
and sisters can attend together, the broth
ers protecting the sisters and the sisters
gently admonishing the brothers; where
parents and teachers can consult together
with reference to the interests of the chill
dren and pupils, and where the commune
ty generally feel an interest in the school,
and sympathy with the scholars. We on
ly wish our high schools were a little
higher, that the course of study were more
extended, so that our children might be
induced to remain in them for a longer
period, and might graduate seniors in
stead of sophomores, as they are inclined
now to do. This defect liz our high
schools is, however, not chargeable to the
teachers. They doubtless would desire
the standard of education to be elevated.
The quality and quantity of teaching are
very much like commercial commodities,
according to the demand. When the pub
lie call for a more thorough course, our
high schools will furnish it, and it will be
a blessed day when our lads and lasses
will not have to be sent to a boarding
school to finish their education.
The notion is quite prevalent that it is
a good thing for children, to 90 away
from home while acquiring their educa-
ton. so that they may see the world and
learn how other folks live. There is
doubtless much to be learned in seeing
the world, by no means, depreciate the
enlargement of mind which comes by
travel; but the natural place for children
is home, and their best society, that of
their parents and brothers and sisters
The teacher of a boarding-school has the
double office of teacher and parent, and
however we'll he may fiji the former, it is
impossible for him to fill the latter to the
perfection which the parent can, and Of
ten does. attain. The child almost knows
instinctively that the love of a parent is
disinterested, that his advice is without
any selfish motive, and that his command
must be obeyed he therefore trusts his
parent with a confidence, and obeys him
with a good will which he is not ready to
yield to a stranger. 1t is the duty, there
fore, of parents to keep their sons and
daughters together and at home till their
minds are disciplined by study. their
principles we'll established, and their hab-
its formed, and then they can safely see
the world and profit by the lessons it
teaches. The high school enables us thus
to do. The young men and young wo-
men graduating from our high schools
find the same incentive to action in socie-
ty that they found in the school, and do
not leave behind them the forces which
thus far have lmpelled them. There is
no such violent change as must occur
when one graduates from a school exclu-
sively devoted to one sex.-Scribner's
Monthly.

Our Cemetery.

| As the time of killing frost is near, and
| the rich pasturage in our Potter's Field
upon which the cattle delighted to browse
during the summer, is about exhausted,
we suggest to our citizens that our utilized
burying ground is in sad need of repairs.
Now, we are aware that the seeming
levity of our suggestion may shock and
offend some of our readers who have a
Gear and sacred interest IN this neglected
tenement of the dead. But the glaring
shame of this inattention constrains us to
expose it beyond the limits of our CON-
munity, that something may be done to
blot out its infamy. If we have been cor
rectly informed. the Cemetery, during the
summer was little less than a common
pasturage. What a painful commentary
upon our boosted civilization and Christi
.anityl What must the refined stranger
think of us. as he treads the cattle beaten
paths among the tramped and dis6gurea
tombs? A graveyard, bearing the evil
dences of taste, pride and attention points
unerringly to a high refinement, a noble
education and a cultivated. society, and
surrounded by such tokens of grateful
and reverential remembrances of the de-
parted, we ~instInctively look for the
church-spire and listen for the chimes of
the school bell. The graveyard is an in
dex to the moral, social and religious sta
tus of any community. Is this sufficient
to incite our people to regard their dead
with a little more than a heatlenish re-
spect?

The Relation Of the State to Edu-
cation.

In speaking of the action ofthe Nation
al Educational Association on this subject,
the st. Louis Journal Of Education says /:
In sessions of the General Association
much was done to clear up the relation
between Education and the State. That
there should be free education at public
cost, without distinction of caste and
without limitation in degree, was demon
strated beyond doubt or cavil. The re-
lation of property to education, and the
relation of government to both. was eluci-
dated to show that the institutions of So
ciety and the State are limited as to quail
ity by the quality of popular recognition
OH the part of the community at large /;
this popular recognition is measured by
the school education of the community
This exhibition of the solidarity of inter-
ests of capital and education settles for
ever on an ~insxpugnabls basis, the right
and duty of providing free school educa-
ton by taxation. The practical vertical
ton of this principle thus established is
now to be found in the adoption of public
education by the nations of Europe as a
means of national self-preservation-as a
''war measure" The most real thing in
this world is the military might Of nations /;
and when public education has been re-
cognized as the basis of that might, it has
reached its adequate recognition.
What new departures, what recurrence
of old issues, what further synthetic
movements the lei meeting of this Asso-
citation will exhibit, time conceals from
us; but that the meeting of this year was
a profitable one does not seem to admit of
doubt.
