For the anderson Mtelligencer.

Within few years past the attention of
teachers has been turned to the advantages of
the co-education of the sexes. The history of
the subject is instructive
In the earlier periods Of our country, the sep
aration of youth in the course of their educa-
tion was unknown, in all ordinary schools
Brothers and sisters went to school together.
This was not due to the poverty of the country,
since it was not imagined to be necessary that
thew should be sent to different schools, and
even with the coercive penal discipline which
then prevailed, and which all aged living per-
sons we'll remember; there was no reason, them
to think that there was any necessity that
males and females should be separately educa-
ted. When the State Legislatures began, very
generally, to erect State Colleges, the minds OF
the statesmen were intent on the Immediate
necessities of the country-the want of educa-
ted men for the various public Offices of the
land. This great movement in favor of male
education, left the female part of our popula-
tion comparatively destitute of adequate edu-
cational advantages The growing wealth and
taste of the country soon began to feel this
inequality, and Female Seminaries began to

IMPORTANT ORDINANCEs.-We publish to-
day several important ordinances recently en-
acted by the Town Council. The levy of taxes
for municipal purposes is the same as last year.
The ordinance regulating the sale of ardent
spirits directs the closing of bar-rooms at seven
o'clock in the evening, instead of nine as here
tofore, which is salutary measure, calculated
to promote peace and good order in town. The
ordinance to prevent cattle from straying at
large within the limits of the town will delight
our country friends, who have been so long
subjected to the unmannerly depredations of
lean and hungry cattle. All of them sum up q
very good days work for the Town Council.

SMALL PoX.-The exaggerated rumors in
reference to the spread of the small pox in this
County create great deal of uneasiness, and
we have endeavored to obtain correct account
from reliable source. 1t will be remembered
that the first case was that of Mrs. Johnson's
son, which terminated fatally. This occurred
at the residence of Mr.. James Armstrong, near
Barker's Creek Church, where three other cases
subsequently developed-two children of Mr..
Davis Branyan, the oldest of which died and
the youngest is about well-the third case is
that of child of Mrs Graham's, which is also
recovering. Another case is reported of little
negro on the farm of Mr.. Armstrong Our in
formant mentions several cases of varioloid, in
Guiding Mrs. Armstrong, Mr.. Thomas Branyan
and Calhoun Strickland, all of which were
slight. Reports have gone out that Mrs. Bran
yan and Mr.. and Mrs. John Graham died of
small pox, but this is not true. The former
died from heart disease, and both the latter
died from exposure and want of proper atten-
tion. The small pox is not spreading, and is
not likely to make any further progress among
the whites.

- According to the Boston Journal, there
are no less than twentyfour amendments pen
ding in Congress.
Christmas day, 1872, will long be remem-
bered in New York and throughout the North
ern States as one of the coldest Christmas days
within the memory of the oldest inhabitants.
= In the chapter of fatal casualties which
closed Christmas week, the fall of a church
floor at Williamsport, Pennsylvania, will be
noted as tragical and pathetic in the misery
which it entailed A Christmas gathering of
happy parents and children was suddenly pre-
cipitated into yawning chasm. Fourteen
were killed outright and forty or fifty were
wounded; some Of them fatally.

PRINCIPLES versus Men.

The New York World calls attention to few
stubborn facts, which demonstrate how careless
the American people are about principles, while
Ne are great sticklers about men. In New
York, at the last election, the two candidates
for Governor received S36,7S7 votes; at the
same time, question supposed to involve a
airecttax Of S6,5O0,oo0 was submitted to the
psople,, and only no 1923 votes were cast there
on. on In Virginia, at the same election, the
number of votes cast for the Congressman were
lsO,716, while only 60,492 voted upon an
amendment to the State Constitution relating
to so important matter as the rate of interest
ep money. +. In Wisconsin, the aggregate Presi-
dential vote was l9l ,297, and but 46,027 votes
were cast for or against constitutional amend
pent changing the composition of the Supreme
Court. al,
We beg leave to add another instance, which
illustrates the subject under consideration. At
the October election in this State, the combined
vote. of Moses and Tomlinson for Governor was
lo6.376; two constitutional amendments were
submitted to the people at the same time-one
Of them prohibits the creation of any public
debt hereafter, and on this important question
lesa than one-third of the voters expressed any
preference as to its adoption or rejection. This
case is the more striking, since nearly all of
financial troubles during the past few years
proceed directly from this identical question,
and it would seem natural for our people to
embrace the first opportunity offered, which
promised to stop any further increase of the
public debt. Yet, thousands remained away
from the polls, and the large majority of those
voting neglected or declined to assist in placing
this wholesome check upon future Legislatures.
Verify, when there is race between men OF
different politics large vote is always polled,
but when principle is involved the masses
appear to care nothing for it.

WEEK OF PRAYER.-The present week is
being observed throughout the country by all
evangelical denominations as season prayer,
in accordance with the recommendation of the
Evangelical Alliance, which embraces both
hemispheres in its suggestions and operations.
The propriety of beginning the new year by
special and united supplications to the Throne
of Grace will not be questioned, and Christians
everywhere agree in an observance of this new
custom. In Anderson, the several denomina-
tions have united in this work, and prayer
meetings were held on Monday and Tuesday
mornings in the Presbyterian church. On
Wednesday morning, the congregation assem-
bled in the Methodist church, and tonight
Thursday the Baptist church will be occupied,
when it is hoped there will be large congre-
gation.

!, This body re-convened on Tuesday last, after
a pleasant holiday of nearly three weeks. The
chief topic of discussion is the election of a
Judge Of the Eighth Circuit, which will prob
ably engage the attention of members for sew

friends of Judge Murray have been equally
confident while other gentlemen doubtless en-
tertain hopes in that direction We will await

PASTORAL CALL.-The Baptist congregation
of this place has extended call to Rev. Lewis
M. Aver, of Barnwell, as pastor for the present
year, and it is thought that the call will be
accepted. Gen. Aver will prove a valuable ac-
QUESTION to our community. He was formerly
a member of the Confederate Congress, and
always a leading citizen of Barnwell. He
commenced preaching only few months since,
and is determined to devote the balance of his
life 10 that service. During recent visit to
this place, the congregation was favorably i'm
pressed with his fitness and talents, which re-
suited in his being called unanimously to the
charge of the Baptist church.

ment of this new institution of learning, which
will be found elsewhere in this issue, furnishes
the plan of operations, together with the rates
of tuition and corps of instructors as now Or
ganized. AS correlative to this announcement,
we ask attention to communication on the
subject of co-educating the sexes, which eman-
ates from the pen of one who has devoted time
and thought to its consideration. The advan-
tages likely to accrue from this method of i'm
parting instruction to the youth of both sexes
seem to be appreciated in this community, and
all will acknowledge the necessity for hearty
and vigorous support of the High School as one
of our local institutions. The slightly advanced
rates of tuition ought not to deter any one
from patronizing and sustaining the school, as
the rates are no higher than at other similar
institutions, and we cannot expect to build up
an educational interest on All enlarged plan
without expending additional money for its
support.
