Money!.

Our Mecklenburg correspondent, "Dra-
pier" is amongst the most clear and sen-
tentious OF writer's upon the subject Of
finance who have furnished us with their
views. 1t is especially appropriate that he
should reside in Mecklenburg. His sound
and Just views, his clear knowledge Of
financial topics, especially ill., their relation
to public welfare, go Far to compensate for
the unfortunate. decisions that have taken
possession OF number Of the good people
OF county of hallowed memories. We
commend his essays most, earnestly, We
think a passage in his last No upon money
deserves particular notice, 1t Is, as follows !:
"Money gives birth: to commerce; lends
it wings to fly; furnishes sit With motives,
material, instrument, and END. :. Money is
the root OF all evil, it is said; but IT. Is also
the root of all Industry, SIKH, ;myention,
progress, and civilization. Curse it not for
the evils to which it has been abused; pol
Lutte not its source--keep that pure; eontne
It not, nor interrupt or turn aside its course /;
let IL flow where twill and seek its own
level, and II will be like the air-like water,
nm inestimable blessing and IN exhaustible
source Of Dressings; but tampef with 1t, tri-
fe with it, experiment upon il, and turn
It into curse. Innovation in money mat.
tiers Is worse than in anything else; money
wants deep roots. It rests on confidence,
which is not the creature OF law nor the
growth OF day.

a NORTHERN COMPLIMENT TO A SOUTHERN
ENTERPRISE Ne,o England Historical
and Genealogical Register for October has a
notice OF the Southern Historical Society
Papers from which we make the following
extract:
aThe Southern Historical Society is do
ing an exceedingly valuable work in pub.
fishing these papers, which have not re-
ceiyed in the North the attention to which
they are entitled. They make already five
volumes, with a sixth bali completed, and
they arc full OF the most useful ma
terials, for the history of the late war.
The battle Of Gettysburg is especially
fully treated, there being more than a score
of papers on it, and nearly all by officers
who personally took part in it; and Mur-
freesboro' and many other battles are more
or less fully treated. The purpose OF the
Society is, we believe, especially to show the
gallant part which the South'played in the
contest, and there is naturally now and then
something Of the warmth and one-sidedness
OF men who find not only their patriotism,
but their, personal reputation at stake. But
this is to-, be expected always in the
raw material OF history. and the
more. these papers are studied the more
valuable they will be found ~ =, :
We heartily express our admiration for the
energy and desire for truth which made this
enterprise possible in the impoverished
South - We hope that their northern sub
scription.listwiH be extended, for these are
volumes that no library, public or private,
that pretends- 10 historical inlness, can af-
ford to be without. Cannot this. example
be initiated sihs the North, SO that we may
preserve, while 1t Is yet possible, the per-
sonal recollections OF the northern actors
Ia the national struggle. The late discussion
over Lookout mountain shows how much is
stiil in doubt. The reader will see with sur
prise the charge that the writer's who are
contributing SO well to the science Of his
tory have been excluded from the national
archives. These surely should be open to
the historian in the freest manner, with
every assistance OF arrangement and index !;
and every pains should be taken to make
the collection complete by the purchase or
exchange of copies.

Not GOLD ESouGH.-Onc Of the argyll
ments used by Greenb hackers is that there is
at the present time only S20o, 100000 In gold
in the country with which to redeem $780,
900, 900 In bills, and they claim that it is i'm
possible to resume spccie-payments. But
that idea is founded upon the idea that every
man who has greenEack will present him
self on the 1st OF January, with his green
back in hand. TO be redeemed with coin.
That reminds US of an old Democrat, a
hard-money man, in the State of Maine, who
became engaged in discussion with an-
other man about the greenback question,
arguing that there could be no resumption
because there was not gold enoughin the
Treasury with which to resume. Said the
old man .sWe have got 10000 people in
this city, every one Of whom will want a
coffin at some time in his or her life; but
how foolish it would be to pile up 10000
cof1ins in the city at one time"

Editors Dispatch: II you will allow me
the privilege and the space in the columns
Of YOUR highly-appreciated journal would
like to say word in regard TO the duty OF
free-school teachers, though claim not TO
hold the office OF yipdication. When our
trustees meet to appoint some one. to take
charge, OF school in the district which
they represent they say nothing about the
duty of the teacher in regard to their ABB
sence at the hours OF dining OF intermis-
sion. I think 1t is the duty OF every teach
err, either. male or. female, TO be ut the
schools location, Or. where it is taught, at
the hours OF intermissi0n. The teachers
don't know what is going on at: the school,
house when they are absent. Many times
the larger students override the smaller
ones and take, their privilege from them.
l have been personally informed by a stu
dent Of one Of the free schools in. my sec
ton or locality that the large boys would
take the small, ones down and put their
heads under. tbe fence, and use other means
OF subduction., This is 4 substantial fact,
and has eitentimes taken place, and at the
same time the. teachers will not allow tue
students 70 tell any news at their arrival.
[ think it is Guty and ar act unperformcd
BY the county superIntendentS or the head
officials OF the free-school department to al
low the teachers, OF free, schools to absent
themselves from the sChool-houses in the
time OF intermission. There ought to be
some step taken concerning this important
matter before the next session Of the free
schools. Tie patronizers OF this district
seem to be very much upset about the way
the schools are carried Oil. 1t goes extreme
" hard against their grain. Some OF these
facts have been observable by the writer.
