Education in the South.
One of the prime causes of the past sins
of the Southern portion of our country is
the limitation of education. It is a fact
beyond dispute that education moulds the
character and manners of a people, and
that the liberality and worth of educational
systems are always an index t the morals,
principles and opinions of that counnunity
These facts. are abundantly substantiated
when we view that section of our country
that so long boasted of its aristocracy and
so long used the whipping-post and lash
to smother the manhood and freedom of
millions. Southern education has been
simply a farce, and in direct conflict with
the teachings of the " Book of Books,"
and its teudeney,has been to subvert the
pillars of good government, and to encour
age abuses of rictus.
We do not look Upon education as being
in the hands of those that have been
pushed through a fashionable .school, nor
those who have been taught a knowledge
of books. No, our views, as uncommand
ing as they may be, are wider and more
comprehensive. Added to the knowledge
of books, must be a capacity to distinguish
between right and wrong, and a disposi
tion to imbibe new ideas. This world is
a vast book of knowledge. Its nations
and tongues arc its pages, and as we stu
diously turn them we gather their fruits,
and at least our minds can explore the
field, and by comparing one scene or cus
tom with another, we form intermediate
conclusions, and thus by exciting every
portion of brain to actual life, our whole
being is gradually enlightened, and as the
dark clouds of ignorance and prejudice
surrender their hold upon our affections,
we slowly but surely become possessors of
a practical self•education, which is worth
all the fashionable schools ,in Christen
dom.
This practical common-seuse education,
us well as public school facilities, has been
denied the Southern people, by their
own Lords and Nabobs—hence the com
plication that exists in Southern society.
The sparsely settled schools of South Car
olina and Georgia, for instance, have al
ways taught the children to revere the
oppression of the black man as an essential
to their superiority and prosperity, and to
regard slavery as a divine institution. To
these wicked teachings were added an
utter detestation of everything outside of
their bat, of manners, and the consequence
is that those States are now populated by
strong prejudices, dead-ideas, and.haunted
by the ghosts of a 'hundred years ago.
Hence the sins and rebellion of that pee.
•
and
sympathy, and attributing thcir
Thregrioui blunders of the just to false
education, and to the influences beneath
which . they were reared, beckon them on
in the wake of the vessel of progress.
The future promises for the Southern
country a change for,the better, since the
recent revolutions that have been wrought.
The late war did no.: little toward refor
mation, and although the lesson - was a
dear one, it has done more to educate the
masses, than school-houses would have
done its a century:- The Southern mind
now begins to expand—churches and
echeol•houaes are growing in tolerance,
and be ing conducted by progressive spirits,
they will develop° the intelligence,:indus
try and genius of the people, and ere long
.the hearts of the North, South, East and
:West, will throb responsively, and heaven
a pprobatively smile upon America. Then,
with the poet, we can sing:
Let Spain boast the treasures that grow in
her mines ;
Let Gallia rejoice in her olives and vines;
In bright sparkling jewels let India prevail,
With her odors Arabia perfume every gale:
'T is Columbia alone that can boast of the
soil
Where the fair fruits of virtue and liberty
smile. •
Taw Whisky Ring* on the Deten-
=
It looks as if Andrew Johnson wore
really making an honest effort to ferret out
the whisky frauds in New York. His
first agent, Binckley, having made an
egregious failure, he has appointed Judge
Fullerton, to do the work. This Judge
Fullerton is.altepublican, and, we believe,
is the prosecutor in the case of the Rosen
burg naturalization frauds. Both political
parties in N. Y. seeins satisfied with his
eleCtion, the Democrats because Johnson
made it, and the Republicans because
Fullerton belongs to their party. Both
unite in, giving him, a rare character for .
courage, activity and probity. Rich de
velopments may therefore be expected.
It is said that the members of Whisky .
Rings,. are already , ; beginning to tremble,
lint this is guess work, for few know pre
cisely. who the members of that mysterous
but powerful ring are. If Fullerton is the
Man he is represented to be, - we soon shall
know, however, for the clues of their
• villiany and corruption are. easily .found
and easily followed. All that is needed is
an honest fearless man .to do it. We
heartily_join in the , Tribune's invocation
'to the-judge to " hew up to, the line let

IT. is one of the strangest infirmities of

Our Next Governor.
The Republican party above all others,
is the party of progress and power. This
fact is made apparent throughout, its his
tory, from the futile canvass. of Fremont
to the glorious triumph of Lincoln. Noth
ing else is needed to show that the same
animation pervades its being now, as in
days gone by, thaii 'tlio fact that it is
already casting about for a candidate fur
the next Governor of the State, who is
to bo elected one year hence. The rums
papers generally take the lead in such
matters, and the result so fur is the an
nouncement of Hon. John W. Geary, our
present able officer, as the proper man,
by several of our cotemporaries, subject
of course to the decision of the Republi
can nominating convention.
:Editor
Gov. Geary, is without doubt, an effi
cient and satisfactory officer. He was
elevated to the Gubernatorial chair for
several motives, not the least of which was
to visit him a just appreciation and reward
for his faithful and eminent services in
the po3ition of a soldier, which capacity
cost hit irreparable loss lie was not
Only a brave and courageous General up
on the field, but at home a far-seeing
•friend to liberty, and in every way de
serving the confidence and trust of the
people. As Governor, he has fulfilled
his every pledge, and displayed wisdom
and integrity equalled only in the history
of his former public career.
Notwithstanding Gov. Geary's innate
worth, we think the day is too ea r fy, and
that public mind is yet too weary of the
excitements of the past campaign to urge
the claims of any individual for a canvass
that is so far iu the future. Besides this
it is fair to presume that party affairs will
revolutionize to a certain extent before
the elapse of another year, and that new
issues will spring up, and new policies be
declared. In view of this, we deem the
expression of preferences by the Republi
can press now, as entirely out of order,
and only tending to commit the party to
the advocacy of men and issues foreign to
the necessities of the tunes and to the
good of the commonwealth. While we
stand uncommitted, we beg leave to give
pra.hie to whom praise is due, and to up
braid reckless party men.
“ Struck Oil.”
A. few days since we took occasion to
wipe the dust out of the eyes of the York
True Democrat. It is a well known fact
that its advertised editor is a bombastic
conceited individual, while its publisher
is like arickety . stool, if be can't stand, he
will lie. The columns of that paper con
tained a well aimed ?id of its editors abil
ity as a lecturer a few weeks since,
which we thought rather small business,
and savored of egotism. Now, if the edi
tor has the brains which he thinks and
says be has, why does he not apply it to
the management of his columns, and make
his paper at least :respectable? His rea
son may be that the contrast between him
self and his paper, iu such an event, would
be too great. We once heard this individual
speak ourselves, and the impression then
made has not changed-. With one thumb

and fAgur - continually shaltingtiaiin
the audience, he commenced to deliver his
harangue. - He hammered away for one
hour, occasionally stamping his feet, per
haps to attract attention to their huge
dimensions. He was quite successful,
however—in disgusting his audience.: He
reminded us of the man that advertised
himself as an artist, who proved to be an
old member of the whitewashing profes-
CCM=I
To make a long tale short, (without
cutting it off,) we sincerely hope, for the
sake of the honor and dignity of the press,
and for the sake of common deceucy,•that
the gentlemen• who run the Democrat
machine will in the future avoid puffing
themselves, and beside learn to discrimi
nate between an auctioneer and lecturer.
" Huff se l."
Tir Boston Journal says that in -con
nection with the election of General Grant
to the Presidency, and only second to it
in point of interest, is the promotion of
Mrs. Grant to the post of " Lady of the
White House." It is gratifying to think
that the position is one which Mrs. Grant
will all with the true simplicity of an
American woman. There will he no at
tempt to ape the grandure of a regal court,
and no vulgar striving after mere sensa
tion. Mrs. Grant is a lady who has main
tained, through every event which has
marked the vicissitudes of her husband's
life, a marked propriety,of demeanor. She
has teen helpmeet in days of adversity,
and has shared his' honors without being
dazzled by the position or contaminated by
the foolish adultation of those who worship
at the shrine of success.
4 NEW Yon]: Life Insurance Company
has offered Robert E. Lee, late in com
mand of the armies of the Confederacy, a
situation as supervisor of Southern agen
cies, at a salary of $lO,OOO. This latest
advertising exploit, if successful, will be a
regular Yankee capture of the chieftain
of the rebellion. To what base uses may
we come? Jefferson Davis is now, to talk
plainly, a drummer for algreat London cot
ton house, and a New York firm propose
to on,gage Lee for similar use.%
By the Adjutant General's report, it
will be seen that the present strength of
the army is little over forty-five thousand
men. During the campaign just ended,
Democratic orators and writers invariably
collimated .it: at sixty thousand, that is,
with an exaggeration on the truth of 33
per cent. -If this ratio holdS good in all
Nmocratic campaign estimates, in regard
to "Radical expenditures,'-' ect.. we may
take:a. cheerful view of the future. -

have been. It is a part of my country, and
although I may misjudge in the best way
to preserve the South from the consequences
of what I must regard as a great crime,
and still worse, a blunder, yet I would do
anything I could be convinced would tend
to the prosperity, quiet and regeneration of
the South as a part of my country. I bear
no hatred towards the South or Southern
men as such, if I know my own heart. But
lam opposed only to those who still war
upon the best interests of the country, as
understand them,and that opposition, from
the very necessities of my nature, will be
a stern and un yielding one I hope to see
you and assure you in a person that I can
be as ardent a friend in peace as I was a
a determined and unrelenting foe in war."

AMONG the many restortilives which nature has
supplied to relieve the afflictions of humanity, there
is no more favorite ono fora certain class of diseases
than the "medicinal gum " of the Wild Cherry Tree;
but however valuable it is, its power to heal, to soothe,
to relic:63 . llnd to care, is enhanced tenfold by scion
ifie and judicious combination with other ingredt:

STRONG TE*TIMONV
From I3zru.tur:Nr WitEELER, Bno., DIVOE Dlnt.er of
south no.yalstOn,
" In the spring of ISGS I was most severely afflicted
ith n hard, dry cough, with its usual accompani
ments of night sweats, completely prostrating my
nervous system, and producing such a debilitated
state of health that, after trying medical aid to no
purpose, I had given up all hopes of ever recovering,
as had also my friends. At this stage of matters I
was prevailed upon through the influence of ii neigh
bar to try Wistar's Balsam of Wild Cherry. and, be
fore using two bottles, the effect was almost magical.
3ly cough enth ely lett me, the night sweats deserted
me, hope once moro elated my depressed spirits,
and soon I had attained my wonted strength and
vigor. Thus has this Balsam, AM has often been re
marked by persons oonrersaut with the above facts,
literally snatched me front the Yawning grave. You
are at liberty to use, this fur the benefit of the af-
Meted." _ _

A1L11025.3) COMPANY.
850 I\IILES COMPLETED.
A limited amount of the First Mortgage Bonds
of the Union ravine howl Company - 0)))
0111:red to the public, :as one of the safest and
most profitable Investments.
1. They are a Hest mortgage upon the longest
and most important railroad in the country.
2. By law they can be issued to I he Coin pally
only as the road is completed, so that they al
ways represent a real value.
Their amount Is limited by not of Congress
to Fifty Million Dollars on the entire Paeitle
line, or an average of less than SD.OOO per mile.
4. llon. 'E. I). Morgan, of the United States
Senate, and Ilon. Oalces Ames, of the United
States House of Representatives, are the trus
tees for the bondholders, to see that all their in
terests are protected.
5. Five Government Directors, appointed by
the 'President of the United Suites, are respon
sible to the cottony for the Mall:16 , 0111E1A of its
atteirs.
G. Three United States Commissioners must
earthy that the road Is well built and equipped,
and in all respects a first-class railway, berate
any bonds can be issued upon it.
7. The United States Government lends the
Company its own bonds to the same amount
that the Company issues, for which it takes a
second mortgage as security.
8. As additional aid, it makes cm absolute
donation of 12,800 acres of land to the mile,lying
upon each side of the road.
D. The bonds pay six per cent. in gold, and the
principal is also payable in gold.
10. The earnings from the local or way busi
ness were over lootrn. MILLIox pOLI.Aa.s last
year, which, after paying operating expenses,
WRS much more than ..Aulicient to ray the in
terest. These earnings will be vastly Increased
on the completion Of the entire line in 1150.
12. No political action can reduce the rate of
interest. IL must remain for thirty years--slx
per cent. per annum in gold, now equal to be
tween eight and nine per cent. in currency.
The principal is then payable in gold. If a bond,
with such guarantees, were Issued by the Gov
ernment, its market price would not be less
than from 20 to 25 per cent. premium. As these
bonds are issued under Government authority
and supervision, upon what is very largely a
Government work, they must ultimately ap
proach Government prices. No other corporate
bonds are made so secure.
13. The issue will soon be exhausted. Tho
sales have sometimes been half a million a day,
and nearly twenty Millions have already been
sold. About ten millions more may be °tiered.
It is not improbable that at some time not far
distant, all the remainder of the bonds the
Company can issue will be taken by some com
bination of capitalists and withdrawn from the
market, except at a large advance. The long
time, the high gold interest, and the perfect
security, must make these bonds very valuable
for export.
All the predictions which the pincers of this
Company have made in relation to tile progress
and business success of their enterprise, or tile
value and advance in the price of their securi
tieshave been more %ban • conlirmodoand they
- tneterore suggeSt That' peer. tfeco-wbo desire to hi

liar noel important relations which they sustnin,
their peculiar organization, and the offices they
perform, are subjeet to many sufferings. Free-,
dom. front these contribute in no small degree to
their happiness and welfare, for none can be
happy who are ill. Not only so, but no one of
these various female complaints can long be
suffered to run on without involving the general
health of the individual, and ere long producing
permanent sickness and premature,. - deellne.
Nor is it pleasant to consult a physician for tuft
relief of these various delicate affections, and
only upon the most urgent necessity will a true
woman so far sacrifice her greatest charm as to
do this. The sex will then thank us for placing
In their hands simple specific's which will be
found efficacious in relieving and-curing almost
every one of those troublesome complaints pe
culiar to the sex.
Hinzmorm's EXTRACT or Bumm.—Hundreds
Suffer on in silence, and hundreds of others ap
ply vainly to druggists and 'doctors, who either
merely tantalize them with the hope of a cure
or apply remedies which make them worse. I
would not wish to assert anything that would do
injustice to the afflicted, but I run obliged to say
that although it may be produced from exces
sive exhaustion of the powers of life, by labori
ous empleyment, unwholesome air and food,
profuse menstruation, the use of tea and coffee,
and frequent childbirth, It is far oftener caused
by direct irritation, applied to the mucous mem
brane of the vagina itself.
When reviewing the causes of these distressing
complaints, It is most painful to contemplate
the attendant evils consequent upon them. It
is but sirnplejustice to the subject to enumerate
a few of the many additional causes which so
largely affect the life, health, and happiness of
woman in all classes of society, and which, con
sequently, affect more or less directly, the wel
fare of tile entire human family. The mania
that exists for precocious education and mar
riage, causes the years that nature designed for
corporeal development to be wasted. and perver
ted in the restraints of dress, the early confine
ment of school, and especially in the unhealthy
excitement of the ball-room. Thus, with the
body half-clothed, and the mind unduly excited
by pleasure, perverting in Midnight revel, the
hours designed by nature for sleep and rest, the
work of destruction is half accomillished.
In consequence of this early strain upon her
system, unnecessary ellbrt is required by the
delicate votary to retain her situation in school
at a later day, thus aggravating the evil. When
one excitement is over, another in prospective
keeps the mind morbidly sensitive to inn pressl on
while the now constant restraint of fashionable
dress, absolutely forbidding the exercise indis
pensable to the attainment and retention of or
ganic health and strength; the exposure to night'
air; the sadden change of temperature: t
prOst ration produced by excessive a:owing,
1111 N, of necessity, produce their legit orate elibet.
At last, an early marriage caps tile climax of
inisery, and the unfortunate one, hitherto so
utterly regiatiless of the plain dictates and re
monstrances of her delicate nature, becomes; :In
unwilling subject of metPcal treatment. This is
but a trutliful picture of the experience of thou
sands of our young women.
Long betbre the ability to exercise the func
tions of I he generative organs, they require an
education of their peculiar nervous system,
composed of wifat is called the tissue, which is,
in common with the female breast soil 11.15,
evidently under the control of mental emotions
and associations at an early period of rile; and,
as we shall subsequently see, these emotions,
when excessive, lead, long before puberity, to
broils which sap the very rile of their victims
ere nature has self-completed their development.

AYER'S CA.TEARTIC PILLS !

mEnxeist3
Perhaps no one medicine is so universally re
quired by everybody as a cathartic. nor was ever
any before so universally adopted into use, in
every country and among, all classes, as this
mild but efficient purgative PILL. The obvious
reasons for it is, that it is a more reliable and far
more ellectual remedy than any other. Those
who have tried it, know that it cored them;
those who have uot,•know that it cures their
neighbors and friends, and all know that what
it does once it does always—that it never fails
through any fault or neglect of its composition.
We have thousand:4 upon thousands of eertill
cates of their rentarkable cures of the following
complaints. but such cures are known in ovecy
nelguborhood, anti- we need not publish them.
Adopted to all ages and conditions in all cli
mates; containing neither calomel or any de
leterious--drug, they may be taken with safety
by anybody. Their sugar coating preserves
them ever fresh and makes them plepseut to
take, while being purely vegetable no harm can
arise front their use - in any quantity.
They operate by their powerful influence on
the internal viscera to purify the blood and
stimulate it into healthy action—remove the ob
structions of the stomach, bowels, liver, mid
other organs of the body, restoring their irregu
lar action to health, and by correcting, where
ever they exist, such derangements as are the
llrst origin of disease.
