The days of Sumner and Washington when Soldier* were respected, because they respect ed themselves, seem to have returned. Nor is this matter of congratulation to citizens alone. The farmers of the adjacent country whoso welt foundedcomplaints were both loud and frequent, concur in this testimony to the order, sobriety, and quiet prevailing among the soldiers.

In most of the western Stales nil public laws , are required to he published In one or more pews- i papers in each county, the expense of such publU , cation to be defrayed by the State. Such a regu- , lation is not only wise and prudent, but is so manifestly necessary, that it la ft matter of aston ishment that this plan of making the people fami liar with the laws under which they live, has not been adopted in every State in the Union. Seve ral attempts have been made in this State provid ing for publishing the laws in the several counties’ but as yet nothing definite has been done. We have noticed that this measure is always opposed by the lawyers who ore members of the Legisla ture, anti- generally supported by farmers, meohan* ics and business men. Nor is tt at all surprising that the publication of the laws should receive the opposition of the legal profession, for it would in tericr© with the business and profits of that pro fession. Let the people have lighl-#lel the public laws be published in the newspapers—and the disciples of Blackatone would not be sought for quite os often as they had previously been. It Is the interest of lawyers to keep the people as igno rant as possible in regard to the statutes, hut Ibis very fact, in our opinion, should induce the people lo demand the publication of the laws in the man- ner we have mentioned. Many of our public laws are highly important in their provisions, and contain penalties and fines to enforce their observance. And yet it is a fact that the people, generally speaking, are ignorant in regard to those provisions, and often violate them because of their ignorance. We may men tion one law now in.fproe—and a very one n ts, containing, wo believe, severe penalties against all who neglect to observe it—the provi sions of which wo venture lo say are not known to one-fiftieth part of tho people of this county.— We refer lo the law requiring the registration of I births, marriages and deaths. The object of this law was praiseworthy, and Its provisions, If strict (y observed by all, would afford most valuable in formation to future generations. But the law is a dead loiter—-the people know nothing about it, and it is not observed lo any extent worth speaking of. In fact it is worse than useless, for unless it is obeyed by all, the object for.which it was enact ed is destroyed. number of counties, the County Commissioners, feeling that It was neces , sary for the people lo become acquainted with the , requirements of Ibis important (aw, have had it i published \n their local papers. Had this plan been adopted by all counties, or had the law itself contained a section requiring such publication, we would have had by this time practical proof of the workings of the law. Bui as it is—-in force in some counties ood almosi disregarded |n olkais— ■- J I I r We might mention other public laws, equally as imporianl in their provisions and penalties, ihat are disregarded by the people because of a want of knowledge. 'Hie publication of the laws in the newspapers of the several jfcuniies would remedy ibis evil, would make the people acquainted with the duly they owe to themselves and to society, and at the same lime save much litigation and contention in our couris of jusiico. Kconomy, lor*, would dictate Hus policy, for we hold that every measure calculated to enlighten iho people! and make them familiar with the etatuiee o( their Stale, and cqnsequenlty better and wiser men, is true economy. Our glorious system of Common Schools, notwithstanding tho immense amount of money requ ired^ to carry^ou t jsjy U^ajtcr follow us, and lake our places in this world of toil, will revere our names for having sustained this admirable mode of general education. Some nig gardly minded men, whose souls aro not as large as tho knee-cap of a moth, may sneeratlhis asser tion and aKenipt to controvert it, but .such men, thank God, are few, and thus far they have been unable lo check iho noble cause of education.— Yes!—educate the people —the whole people—znA as far as possible make (hem acquainted wub the laws of l ho c-ouniry, and it is a step, a wide siride, toward economy ami greatness.

JACKSON. suoottiig Affair at 'Washington, Wo lake the following account of ihe particu lars of a most distressing occurrenco at Washing, ton, from the National fntttligencer of Saturday. With Mr. Fuller we have been long acquainted, and regret the calamity that has befallen him : “Shocking Occurrencb—Last evening, about half-pagl six o’clock, the vicinity of the National Hotel wbb thrown into great and painful excite ment by a frightfully tragical occurrence that took place on the steps iimiiedioieiy at the entrance to thedfulel. This was the deliberate shooting of Mr. Edward H. Fuller, of this city, by the hands of Lieut. James W. Schaumburg, formerly of Phil-, adalphla, we belivo, but who for many years past has spent much of his time In Washington, and recently boarded at the National. The following is reported to ho a correct account of the rise and cause of this sad affair; ‘‘Several years since Schaumburg boarded at Fuller’s, now Willard’s Hotel, kept by A. Fuller &. Co. When the firm became insolvent he was indebted to it several hundred dollars, and has so continued ever since. Applications made lo him from time lo time for payment hy the serving part ner. Edward H, Fuller, have been disregarded by him. la "•«. tt-arn, on the ground that the debt was duo not lo Mr. Fuller, but lo the trustees under the insolvency. Mr. Fuller, nevertheless, pursu ed the claim, ami in an altercation on iho subject some two years ago with Schaumburg personally chastised him. This circumstance was matter of general notoriety at the lime, and got into the newspapers. “ Public notice was again drawn to the matter on Tuesday morning last by the appearance of a number of large handbills posted in the most pub lic way along Pennsylvania avenue, announcing, under the signature of Edward H- Fuller, that James W. Schaumburg was a coward, liar, and swindler, with allegations and statements to sub stantiate it. • On Tuesday and yesterday afternoon and eve ning Schaumburg was seen pacing backwAftiand forward along the avenue, suspected by m(tny,aud as it would seem, too truly, wuh deadly intent, in search of Fuller. Unhappily* last evening, at the time above elated. Mr. Fuller mounted, Ore street, when he wns espied by Schaumburg, who was standing near the door on tho east side of the portico ; and when Fuller approached at the dis tance of about four feel he received ihe fire of one barrel of a revolver in the hands ol Schaumburg, and instantly retreated across towards the south side of the avenue, pursued by Schaumburg with, as Some say, a draw bowie-knife in his hand. A 1 number of hackmen and others following Schaum burg with hostile shouts induced him to give up the pursuit, and retire to the hotel, where, after seeking a retreat from room lo room lo elude Ihe crowd from the street, ho at l,t<\ gave him self up to the police. Being conducted to tho of fice of Jusiice Mnrsell, he was duly committed to the county Jail, w here ho now remains. “ At a late hour last night Mr. Fuller’s condit ion was crnical t the hall having ontored about an inch and a half to the ri^lit of the navel, mid had uni been pxineated ; indeed its place of lodgement had not been found .
