Classical Education.

MIR. ED1ToR:-P. G. Hochkeppel, ESQ.,,
whose ability of teaching both ancient
and modern languages, was frequently
spoken Of in our papers, (see advertise
ment,) has been successful enough to open
a class with sufficient number of stu
dents. Young men who intend, in one
or two years, to go to some college to
prepare themselves for various positions
IN life, will never have better chance to
get good and solid foundation for col
legiate course, than just now, to use a
figure. The structure of our learning
ought to consist of solid material and be
built by skilled architect, on good
foundation. Any one who afterwards in
tends to embrace the professional career,
VIZ: AS clergyman, a lawyer, or a
physician, must necessarily have gone
through the whole classical studies, /. e.,
he must have read and thoroughly un-
derstand both the Latin and Greek auth
ors, the sole repositories of science. The
reason why we lay so much stress upon
classical education is because by it we
are enabled, more than by anything else,
to develop our minds and to enrich our
memory with these noble ideas found
there. Again there are a great many that
never will pursue collegiate course who
however stand in great need of some
education which will qualify them for
business. If a young man-let him fol-
low the professional or business line
wants TO accomplish and render himself
hit for any position in society he ought to
be we'll versed in modern languages, for
though their study has been greatly ne
elected heretofore, yet it has become now
of real necessity. Every business man
in this country ought to understand thor
oughly both English and German, which
latter language is still more and more in
creasing in value and importance. Mr..
Hochkeppel in his course of study will
follow closely the German college rule,
which is not only The easiest for the be-
ginning but also the most successful in
practice. The said gentleman will give
full satisfaction to his pupils, on account
of their rapid progress and his very low
terms (his terms being lower and more
reasonable than those of any other pri-
vate professor) and it is to be hoped that
he will patronized by our citizens.

Memphis.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.-The Post OF
this morning publishes the following:
DR.. VIM. T. Ramsey, one of the physi-
clans who went to Memphis with the corps
of Washington nurses, has returned to
Washington IN campany with DR.. T. p.
Pease and Mrs. Wallis. The following
brief interview with Mr.. Ramsey discloses
some of the horrors and necessities of that
plague-stricken city:
DR.. Ramsey said "Before reaching
Memphis, even when five miles out, the
air was laden with the yellow fever poi
son and as we approached the city the
stencil was absolutely sickening. DR..
Pease and myself went to the Peabody
Hotel, the only one now open, and were
shown into room from which dead
body had Just been removed. Vessels of
black vomit were standing about the room
and the bedclothes had not been changed.
The hotel itself is perfect pest house,
and victims ofthe disease are in thirds
of the rooms. Sulphur pans are kept
burning in the halls, and the clothes, bed
ding, &C., are constantly disinfected. but
they cannot get help enough in the hotel
to do one-half of what ought to be DONE"
"How many trains day, doctor?"
"Two at present; but all commerce has
ceased, and business of nearly every kind
is suspended. The people have no heart
to attempt any regular business, and
could not if they would. Even the liquor
saloons for the most part are closed, and
the provision stores as rule are empty
"What seems to he their greatest need?"
"Provisions, clothing, ,physiclans,m money
nurses and medicines, about in the
order named. The best thing that can
be done now is to send plenty of provi-
sions and clothing. The negroes
and many poor whites for q section
Of $50 miles around Memphis, have flock
ed in there, hearing they could get some
thing TO eat, and, as for clothes, hundreds
of poor psople are going about the streets,
especially colored woman, with hardly
anything on at all"

Mr.. JoHNsoN:-I see in your last even
lng's GAZETTE call for the County Com
mittee to meet in Wilmington on the
10th inst, at the office of the late Squire
Frazer, to hear and determine who was
nominated at the late Democratic nomi-
nation election in White Clay Creek
Hundred for Representative to the Leg
islature; also, in said yesterdays GA
yETTE there is II letter from the said
white Clay Creek Hundred stating that
there were some illegal or Republican
votes taken, and thereby charging that
William Dean through that vote receiv-
ed six majority. Now, supposing such to
be the case, what right have county
committee to go behind the returns of
Judges appointed at county meeting :?
In the first place what are called rules
in ms County are a fraud, But If judges ap-
pointed at county meeting failed to act
honestly in the trust conferred on them,
they might be cited up before the next
county meeting, tried before that meet
ing, and if found guilty a resolution
might be passad setting forth that said
Judges were frauds, and thereafter should
never be trusted by the Democratic par
ty TO any position of honor or trust in
said party. ONE OF THE COMMITTEE.
