PROGRESS AND RELIGION.

It is thought by many somewhat remark
able that the march Of progress which is
universally recognized in all other features
of our modern civilization should receive
such tardy acknowledgment by the minis,
tiers Of religion. Educating the people in
all secular affairs has been rcvolutiOnized
by the discovery of the art Of printing.
Books and newspapers have taken the
places of schools and colleges and precep-
tors and tutors to an uncommon degree.
An education is coming to be considered Of
comparatively small Importance unless en-
forced by practical illustrations. Conse-
quently we find, as a rule, that self edu-
Gated men are the best and most thoroughly
educated, because that once commenced it
is never completed. Tnc practical man can
see nothing transpiring about him from
which he is unable to gain information.
Everything he reads is illustrated or en-.
forced by something which he sees in his
daily avocations. And this something is
perhaps that which a mere book worm
would never sec at all, The man who
reads his newspaper each morning with
care in his breakfast-Toom, with a globe
before him or a map Of the world on the
wall to consult upon geographical and com
mercial questions, and dictionary, ency-
cloppdia and gazeteerat hand to determine
doubtful questions Of Specification, goes
forth into the world a posted individual,
fully acquainted with its progress up to the
present hour. Docs any one pretend TO
say that this is not better means of infor-
nation than going 10 some college or uni
veTsity and spending three or four years in
studying up what happened iu these same
places two or three Centuries ago?
When we consider how few of our fore.
most men OF the present age and genera
ti0n are University men, it should adj
moniSh us TO look 10 the fundamental prin-
ciplcs Of education, and call halt in our
munifcent requests and expenditures in
grand college and univers.ty school build
ings, until VIC see whether we are not in
them erecting monumentsto Oh. own folly.
Perhaps We shall determine that !.hey be
long to past age that they arc 10 d. IAN

and a clog. Take University bred man
and turn him loose with bis own subsist-
ence 10 gain, and he will Etay7e the first

THE probability that Carruth, the Vine
land editor, who was shot in the head by
Lands, will recover suggests to the New
York Grah'c that persons who fancy
themselves insulted by editors will form
"the habit of shooting them in the head
with a calm confidence that the shot will
rot prove fatal, and that the shooter can
"only be punished for assault and battery.
"Carruth IS thus establishing a very bad
"precedent by persisting in living. If the
people once find out that few ounces of
"extruHeous lead forced into the Uranium

tFIOm the Knoxville Chronicle
Our readers are familiar with the fact that
it is intended to celebrate next month at Char
lotte, y. c., the centennial anniversary OF the
Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence.
Our own State has made arrangements, and
very properly, as We thought, to participate in
this celebration. It is an occasion which
Should arouse patriotic emotions, and upon
which everything like hatred, sectional strife
ard partisan bigotry should be forgotten.
Some Of the people who have the arrange
ments in charge for this occasion thought so
too. They desired it to I've of such character
that men from all sections of the Union, with
out regard to party affiliations, might partici-
pale with the utmost freedom. 1t was one Of
this class that suggested to General d. II.
Hill, somewhat notorious for his sectional Bit
teTncss and for his hatred OF the Federal Gov
ernment, who is one OF the committee of ar
rsuccmCnts, that the President of the United
STATES should be invited. Hill makes this
suggestion the pretext for vile and scurrilous
attack Oh General Grant, which he prints in

THE EDITOR of the Capital has written
and published great many witty things,
as well as sharp criticisms upon public men
ard measures, some OF which have been
just and fair and some unjust and unfair.
II is true that public men are public prop
erty and must expect to be criticised to
some extent Clergymen are not excluded
Hsiom this rule. During DR.. Newman's
former connection with the Metropolitan
church he was the subject Of numerous par
agraphs, and for that matter long articles,
in the Capital, none of which, however,
were so abusive and untrue as that
printed yesterday. We do not intend 10
assert ourself as a professor of journalism +;
but we suggest that it is unfair, if not I'M
gentlcmanly, 10 print such an assault in
the columns of newspaper against man
who has no opportunity to defend himself,
and particularly when, from the very ma.
tuIe of things, taking his profession into
account, the assailed party is almost posi-
lively prohibited from making reply. We
do not know that DR.. Newman takes this
view of the case, or that he will be graft
fed that the question has been raised, but
We believe tie reading public generally
begin to sympathize with him and to be-
lIeve that he is the victim of an unjust and
malignant persecution.

the situation, this venomous old remnant of
class of the worst enemies the South ever had,
continues to fight the battles of the rebellion
through the columns of his obscure journal.
Tie President needs no defense from any such
attacks. But we do wish to defend the South
against the malign influence of such men as
this. They do us absolute harm. They are
our worst enemies. They would see our fields
laid waste, our cities, towns and villages In
flames, and our young men weltering in their
own gore, to crafty their own Internal ambi-
ton. The vile falsehoods of Hill Published
against Grant, and the infamous spirit which
pervades his whole being and finds uttcrance
in everything he says and writes, does North
Carolina and the South an injury which we
cannot afford to sustain. Those whom such
men profess to befriend are the victims of their
imprudence, and really have more to fear from
them than their avowed enemies.

SOME OF OUR SOUTHERN exchanges
seem TO be troubled with fear that our
recent explanation fthe circumstances at
tending the invitation 10 President Grant
10 participate in the Mccklenburg centen-
NAL celebration will have the effect to in
jurc the Philadelphia Exposition. The in
jury has already been done hut it was not
our fault. 1t can be traced directly to the
sectional hatred with which the extremists
Of the South view everything that has lis
origin in the North. Those extremists
never intended TO participate In the cere-
monies at Philadelphia next year, and could
not now lie coaxed 10 do anything to ad-
vance the interests of national celebration.
They will enjoy themselves in their own
way at Meclilenburg next month, and will
exclude from that enjoyment every posi-
bic thing that may remind them of the de-
feat of their attempt TO destroy the Union.

He rcafirms the exploded misstatement

show that the case was not dismissed until

Vice President Wilson is reported to have
said that he docs not know man in Massa-
chusetts who is in favor of electing President
Grant for third term. He might have gone a
little further and said that he never met an in
telligent man who really believed that the
President wants third term or would accept
it if it were offered to him. We defy the jour-
nails that are hsrping upon this subject to pro-
duce one word or the record of one action, on
the part of President Grant or of any one
properly authorized TO represent him, which
indicates in the slightest degree that he has
such aspirations. If any of these loud takers
have possession of any such evidence, let them
produce it now or shut up.
