Il OUR SCHOOLS.

In the education of youth. there are
three leading objects, to the attain
ment of which it should be derected.
The first is the development Of the
powers of the mind; the second, to
supply the mind with the means Of
bringing its powers to bear upon the
daily problems of life, and the third,
and not the least important, is to i'm
press upon the dawning faculties such
a knowledge of right and wrong, such
a love Of virtue as will enable the flu
ture man to conform all his acts to the
standard of reciprocal justice. In
tegrity in youth, is almost certain to
become wisdom and honor in old age"
Without it, mental culture is an ex-
pertinent upon the best interests of
society, with the chances of good, or
evil results very evenly balanced.
knowledge without virtue, is dang
erous power-like locomotive, under
a full head of steam, but without an
engineer, it may reach its destination
safely; but nine times, in ten, it will
wreck itself as well as the train which
follows its unguided career.
1t is not want of intelligence that
has SO thoroughly degraded our gov
eminent and people in SO short time,
but want of that moral integrity which
yields not to the temptations held out
by grovelling selfshness to grasp pow
er. or wealth by foul and dishonorable
means. Every system of education,
therefore. is grossly imperfect which
does no propose high moral culture as
the leading object; and as a soand
moral education is the best security
for individual and popular happiness,
SO is it the most reliable guarantee
that intellectual powers will be made
subseryient to the best interests of all.
An honest simpleton may contribute
nothing to the general good but an
educated rascal does evil continually,
and the extent of that evil is limited
only by his capacity for mischief
The man who cannot write, does not
commit forgery; the honest man will
not, however skilled in the use of the
pen. Our honest conviction is, that
the true end of education is, not mere
ly enlighten to ignorance, but to place
learning under the watchful guardian
ship of moral integrity.

died at his home in ClarksyiIle, a few
days since. Mr.. Campbell had only
attained his twenty-fourth year, yet, in

of maturer years and established repu-

want cheap food from the West, and

VANDERBILT UNIVERSITY. = The
Union and American, of the 10th
inst, gives the following:

Ground was broken yesterday evening
for the University. The contract for exca-
walton having been awarded to Mr.! Kill
coin he was ready with his sureties and the
contract was signed at once. His teams
and picks and shovels Were on hand, and
like pushing man he insisted on going to
work as the terms ofhis agreement require
the work to be done within specified
time. There was no time TO get mp pro-
gramme or TO gather a crowd. So Bishop
McTyeire went out and broke ground,
shovelling the first spadeful of earth. The
laborers reverently pulled off their hats
and stood with uncovered heads, while
the Bishop repeated the Nisi Do1ainiLs, the
beginning of the l27th Psalm, +" Except the
Lord build the house, they labor in vain
that build It,"
We understand all the other parts of the
work will soon be put under contract, and
things are to be pushed forward TO
compistion. Many carloads were hauled
out before sundown yesterday, and the out
lines of the University building plainly
marked out"

The South may achieve an indepen-
denee far more lasting and real than
that for which it was fighting ten
years ago. Georgia s farmers are prov
ing that the South can be independent
of the West by raising its own corn,
and the profits of Georgia and Ala
bama cotton mills show that the South
can manufacture its cotton without the
aid Of New England. Self-support is
true independence.

And yet there are those who say
there is no necessity for a combination
of farmers to relieve themselves OF
such tyranny as is practiced in the
above. and many similar cases. 1t is
saying to the farmer-you shall not
sell the products of your labor where
you can realize the best profit, that

the manufacturers, the dealers and mid

to be oppressed and impoverished that

the purpose is to supersede and crush

the object is to dragon them into the

secret organization, while the Changers
press their peculiar claims with peril

ring upon others. The Changers seem

is not impossible. The Changers are
