DAVID TAGOART, Chatgramr;
DILSTITDTION IN LONDON.
The London Times, in an article on this
subject,.asks if it' does not appear at, first
sight a strange result of the terrible statistics
of society, that upon an average one-person
out of twenty ot theinhabiiints - of that lux
urious zietropoffs, is every day destitute of
food and employment, and every night with
- ont_a place for shelter or repose?
."INotwithstanding the strenuous efforts,"
the i Timfs continues, .‘ to relieve the desti
tution and minister to the wants of the suf.
feting classes; it is a lamentable fact that in
this very town of London alone, the centre
and core of British civilization . , 100,000 per
sons are every day without fir od, save it be the
precarious produce of a passing job or a crime.
Since England was England,lthe general
prosperity of the country has never reached
so high a poineas at the present moment.—
We mark with complacency theVadual rise
of this swelling tide of wealth and luxury :
we take no notice of the receding wave.—
Many schemes have been devised by politic,
- or humane persons to remedy this acknOwl
edged evil. The statesman erects his Poor
Law Unions, and the philanthropist his
houses of refuge ; but still the des . titution
continues. It is stated in the Register-Gen
ararsarinual report for 1849; that nearly
one human being died weekly in this wealthy
metropolis from actual starvation.' In the
corresponding report for 1851,, we find that
28 adults died from starvation, and 252 in
fants from want of breast-milk or want of
food. In the month of December, 1851, five
adults died from starvation, and 29 infants
from inanition."
COAL DRILLER
Among the many things yet to be inven
ted, a'correspondent of the Scientific Ameri
can enumerates a Coal Driller. Recent dis
coveries, he says, prove that anthracite coal
veins should , be worked by perpendicular
shafts when below the water level, instead
of by inclined shafts, usually called 'slopes.'
The slope is made by running down thecoal'
vein all the way from the surface. The shaft
requires to be drawn from four to six hun
dred feet deep, through the solid rocks that
over-lie the'coal, and its area is about,l2 by
18 feet. To accomplish this by the usual
'methods, would involve an impracticable
expense; and what is wanted is a steam drill
to work, say twelve five-inch augers at once.
A fortune _will be the sure reivard to him
• who can do this, and plenty of contractscan
'be had in the Schay!kill coal field immediate
ly, the money being advanced by the colliers.
Something ot kind is used at Pittsburg,
to drill five-inch holesito considerable depths,
for ventilating the coal mines there, but in
the Schuylkill Region' nothing is known of
the•tmprovement.
We hope same inventive genius will take
advantage of this hint; such an invention
Would, no doubt, be liberally rewarded, but
not by the Operators, as the American has
it—such investments belong properly to the
Land-owners.
, DEN. SCOTT ON THE COMPROMISE
To prove that G. SCOTT is sound on the
Compromise, we quote an extract from a
letter to the Washing,lon Republic, written
by the lion. Edward Stanley, of North Ca
rolina—the same Stanley, who recently gave
Mr. Giddings ruch a drubbing in the House,
- and who will hardly be accused ot sympa
thizing with Northern Abolitionism in any
shape or form. lle speaks by the card.—
Hear him :
- "It is, I believe, certain that no man eanireceive
the vote Of North Carolina whes is not known to he
in favor of maintaining the Compromise acts as "
final settlement " There is probably no man in
the State who holds a different opinion. Our great
est leader, Mr. CLAN' himself, it, in answer to the
prayer of millions, he could be restored tb health
and youthful vigor, with all the enthusiasm which
he only could excite, mild not receive the electo
ral vote of North. Carolina, if he were a candidate,
ancVoppos:ed to the Compromise bills.
gut it is due to myself to say that I have never
said, and will not now say, that "I can't and won't
-f.go for SCOTT." ^. On the contrary, I have always
said I knew he was us earnest, ardent, and zealous
a friend of the Compromise measures as there was
in the United States.—l knot", of my OWL knotel
edgz, that he 71V3 so, before their passage ttrong/a
Congress, and a fiertearrls. 1 heard him reprove
Northern men who were opposed to them,- before
they passed Congress, in such strong terms that 1
,tho't la: would etlend them. I know he is a South
ern man by birth. -
The country knows he poured
out his blood on the Northern frontier, udder the
stars and stripes, receiving wounds, the scars of
which he vet bears. while lighting against Eng
land's haughty power in the war of ISI2. The
world knows the wonders he achieved, with North
ern and Southern, Eastern and Western soldiers, in
that unparalleled march from VOA Cruz to the City
of Mexico. I know he is a true Republiettn, and
has always been ; and,l have no fear that such a
man would not prove as true to his country's best
interests in peaee as lie has Ceen in war.
I do not believe, at this time, there is one man
in Congress, froth any section or of any pa+ty,
Whig, Deanaerat, or Free-Soil;trho does not Limo
Genera! Senn is to layer of maintaining the
Compromise acts."
t COAL is THE NATT.—The following
resolution, submitted some days since by
M. Cooper, was on Monday last adopted in
the Senate :

- A correspondent of the Philadelphia News
adds," Recent scientific tests have, I un
derstand, fully satisfied the Navy Department
that it is to the advange of the government
to use'anthracite . coal at our Naval Stations,
and in all the Navy steamers in which it can
be used, and orders have 'accordingly bi.en
issued for a supply of it. In the course of a
year_or two the Navy will probably afford a
market for a million of tons. Hitherto, it
has alnaßst entirely used the bituminous.'!

t..k.rough pilapotte to'give a Grand Ball, in lull Re
galia, at the Town Hall, ou Tuesilay, Evening,
May the llth.
Among the many different secret associations and
Orders in the world, the Odd Fellows have ever
been prominent actors in the cause of general be
nevolence, though exercising their philanthropy,
for the most part, in en unostentatious way.
- We undemtand that the different Lodges of our
Borough have lately refitted their Lodge rooms in
the most finished modern manner, and incurred
finite a heavy expense, which they are anxious to
pay, without drawing upon the funds of the differ
ent Lodges. An object Po worthy should meet the
ripprobation of the public, and as .they . intend to
give the Ball of Rte Season, we are satisfied 'that
the public will appreciate and patronize the Frater
nity in a substantial manner.
rir Agricultural Fair.At a meeting of
the Schuylkill County Agricultural Society, held at
the' house oT TAMES LES.IG, April 12, 1552, the
Committee appointed for that purpose reported the
following : "That they deem it not only proper but
highly necessary and beneficial to the Agriculural
community that the Society hold an Agricultural
Fair in the fall of 185'2. They have fixed on the
21st and 22d days of October next for said Fair to
cotbe off, and have selected Mr. JAMES Lesstu's
Hotel, in North Manheim township, as a suitable
and convenient place for holding such Fair. Mr.
Lessig having agreed to put up the necessary en
closures and shedding at his own expense on con
dition that the Society will hold its attunet exhibi
tion for ten successive years on his premises.
The Society will meet at the house of JAMES
LEssio, on the 29th (lay of May next at 2 o'clock,
P. M., for the purpose of making sotue alterations
! in the By-Laws."
I A Meeting of the Schuylkill County
Bible Society was held in the Episcopal Church.
last Monday Evening. Addresses were delivered
by Rev. Mr. CARNAIIAN and Mr. KENNEDY. There
was a large audience present—the Society seems
to be in a most nourishing condition. It deserves
to prosper—its object is, in every respect, highly
commendable—to make the Bible a Wine in every
family in the County, We can appieciate that
homely though practical philanthropy which tea
ches that "charity begins at home."
Resignation.—F. S. JEWELL has re
signed his post (resignation to take etTect„pn the
15th of May,) as Superintendent of our Borough
Schools. We are not in the habit of praising eith
er men or actions witilqihey are in otir midst, but
in justice to both him and the School Board under
which-he has acted, we will add that - our Schools
have improved wonderfully under his supervision.
As a teacher he stands in an enviable position,Und
we fear this resignation will be a drawback to the
institution.—Schuylkill Haven Mi4rellany.

LETTER FROM CALIFORNIA.
Mr. BENJAMIN HAYWOOD, formerly of this
place, in a letter, dated San Francisco, March
15th, to a friend here, gives the following
interesting, and, we haveno doubt, very cor
rect statement of the business, prospects, 87. c..
of that city, together with some facts in re
lation to gold mining, in that Region, which
we particularly recommend to the notice o
those inclined to try their fortunes there:—
" That many have realized fOrturies ' there is 'no
possibility of doubt, and that thousands have, and
are still being disappointed, is equally, true. The
Mining business itself is one of great uncertainty,
as I had an opportunity of witnessing fltving a six
months' residence in the Southern Mines last Sum
mer. Many with Whom I was personally acquain
ted realized, for working men, snug little fortunes,
while others were less fortunate. And while Ma
dam Rumour publishes to the world.the fitvorites
of fortune, not one syllable is uttered about the
Ilttappotntetl Gold Hunter: Still my 'honest con
viction is, that this is the very Lest country in the
world-for a man that has nothing but Ms labor to
depend upon—arotridrilhe pnssessestlte indispensa
ble requisites of character, health and strength
of physical constitution, temperate habits, indomi
table courage, indpstry -and perseverance, a capa
bility to bear hardships and privation. 'For want of
some or most oirthese qualities, many have failed
that might have succeeded, and at the' same time,
many that possesfted them, have not succeeded. As
to tile extent of diplMgs or washings as they are
called ; my opinion is that they are all-sufficient,
for many years to come ; as what are called the
dry diggings have not been extensively 'worked,
owing to the difficulty of obtaining, water; a diffi
culty that still exists to a great extent and must do
so until suilicieiwcapital and labor can be obtained
to turn branches, or canals froin the head waters
of the rivers updu these elevated lands. Numer
ous companies air already engaged in these enter
prizes; some of them of a gigantic scale considering
the high price of lahoi and the natural difficulties
to be overcome. The Quartz Mining 1 consider
almost a failure so far, owing principally to the de
fective machinery, high price of labor, and Ow
ranee of the business „all of which can and wilt be
overcome in time when this department will then
be a source of immense wealth. But while men
can make from three to ten dollars per day, with
the chance of a hig wile occasionally, Quartz
Mining can only he profitable on very rich veins;
but there is an inexhaustible supply of gcxxl work
able Quartz veins in the State. I know of nothing
more interestinglo contemplate than the increased
activity in the agricultural department, and the eel ,
tain reward for the labofat the industrious farmer.
There are immense val I ies in the State capable of the
highest degree of agricultural production, and with
comparatively little labour; and I have semi no fi
ner vegetables in any coiintry (not even far-famed
Philadelphia) then those raised in California. It is
true we have not yet as great variety;'but for what
we do raise either in size or quality, -it is not easy
to beat; and as nearly all our breadsttilla have hith
erto been imported, and since the millers, like those
in the Coal Region, arc consumers and not produ
cers, there can beAikidifficulty for years to come
for want of a goiarinityket. In commercial mattert
in this City nothing - can he more fluctuating than
things have been. Goods have not only been slip
ped limn all our own ports on the Atlantic without
dirieriminat Mg regard to the watts of the com
munity and state at the market, but front nearly
every part of the world. The consequence has
been a continually overstocked market in most
leading artieles,.and great loss to the. Shippers. Add
to this, losses.by repeated tires of most calamitous
extent, and you may get a glance 61 some of the
causes of disappointed speculators, and the ruin
that many have lieeir involved in; for you see from
the isolated position of San Francisco that if goods
are not wanted (no matter what their original cost)
they are absolutely worth little or nothing. You can
not send them back, or to any other port, and the
expense of storage, danger of fires, and no possibil
ty of obtaining insurance, are no small items in the
mercluint's books. But we are rapidly getting up
substantial tire-proof buildings, and it is not possi
ble that this City can suffer such disastrous confla
grations us heretofore. This City must be from her
position, climate, mineral and agricultural resour
ces, and last, not least, the character of her people

HISTORY OF EDUCATION.
no. 6.
History informs us that, into whatever
part of the world Christianity extended itself,
there it produced the same bruits, which be
came ,risible; after its introduction, in the
countries already mentioned. And it teaches
us, also, that world-embracing ideas;
are destined to affect human life universally,
and to elevate the character of human tho't
to a higher stadium, are not the product of
any individual thinker, but arise spontane
ously, as it were, from the power of that
general life, which underlies the whole
stream, of the world's history. It is on this
account, that all great movements, in ha -t.
man affairs, which have a truly historical
character, can be neither impeded in their
course, nor prevented from reaching their
destined end, by any ingenuity 'of man--
Hence the remark, so often made, that the
wheel of destiny can be stopped by . . no hu
man 'hand. But we see, also, that since the
introduction of Christianity into the world,
the CUM of human events halt been made
to take a direction different from what it had
before.; and it has, therefore, been well re
marked, that Christ forms a grand turning
point in the entire stream of the world's his
tory, being, at the same time, the key to
unlock the meaning of the past and to open
a vision into the promises of the future. It
is then evident, that the movements of .his
torical events are not governed according to
the will of man, although his actions and
thoughts form an important factor of history,
but that every thing is directed according to
the wise purposes of an overruling Prpvi
deuce, in whose hands, as the main fadtof
of history, human actions are controlled.
These thoughts suggested themselves to
my mind, as I traced the origin of the idea
of educating the mass;and followed its grow
ing importanie up to the time now under
consideration ; and their truth will` become
more strikingly evident as we approach our
own time. As remarked in a former article,
this idea grew out of die teachingsaf Chris
tianity. This religion extended itself, also,
_very early into England. Cloisters and schools
connected with them, were established like
unto those on the 'continent, and produced
subsequently similar effects. For we find,
that - while CUARLEs the Gnssinwas , prosecu
dog his work of opening schools throughout
his empire, peculiar events were leading to
the same thing itc'England. The first sove
reign of this country, who was influenced,
to any considerable extent, with this idea,
was ALFRED the GREAT, who lived in the
latter part of the 9th century. What an in-;
teresting train of reflections arise in one's
mind, in contemplating these two great his
torical personages—CitAilLES'and
the events of their time, and the c6seomt_
of which they grew. Two sovereigns,
ly great and living at no long inieriaza
time, come upon the stage of action, anima
ted with nobler sentiments thaq any of their
predecessors, and commencing a work, laid
upon such broad foundations, that the lapse
of centuries can only complete it. No sove
reigns, of any previous period, existed, who
were even capable of conceiving the idea of
educating . a nation. They fi rst asserted by
their actions, that the right to punish for
crime involves also the duty and privilege,t6
educate and train up in the path of duty, and
that the duties of a citizen can be defined
best by the State itself. They thought, and
very justly too, that a sovereign occupies, in
many respects, die same place in regard to
his nation, which a parent does in regard to
his family; and that, therefore, it is as much
• the duty of the fOrmer to make provision for
the education of his subjects, as it is that of
the latter to allow his children to avail them
selves of the advantages of any such i*ovi
slot]. No human authority, whether that of
the parent or State, can inflict punishmeni
with a' guiltless conicience, unlessithasniso
provided an educatidaal training km those
who are subject to such authority. These
were some of the reasons which induced
CIiATILES and ALFRED to establish schools
which might reach the people as universally
as the condition of society of that period ad
muted.
ALFRED was sot only very liberal in fur
nishing, means for carrying on the cause of
education in his kingdom, hut lie was also
such a diligent 'student himself, that the
amount of knowledge and extent of learning
in him were perhaps greater than in CIIARLES. l i
His time, which,lor want of a clock, he mea
sured by means of burning tapers of a cer
tain length, was divided into three equal
parts, one-third of which was al o d for
sleeping, eating and bodily exercise. ano ter
third was devoted to his business affairs, a
the last to study. His school system and in
stitutions were under the supervisioitotihe
Wisest men hecould find. Convinced thatthe
intellectual and moralelevationof his subjects
and aeneral intelligence depended upon a
well established system of schools, hespared
no pains to make such provision for his sub
jects, and offered all suitable inducements to
bring as many as possible under their influ
ence; and for the purpose of calling forth
latent talent, and giving suitable rewards of
merit, he always made distinctions in favor
of those who had given evidence, in their
acquisition of knowledge, of intellectual ca
pacity, by showing them peculiar favors and I
I I assigning them respectable posts of honor.
Some historians inform us, also, that a num
ber of works were translated from the Latin
into the Anglo-Saxon by himself. The most
important of these . was a work of Bm'rmttvs,
de consolattone philosoßluir," 'which he
admired particularly. He is atsnsaid to have
been himself au author of seekral works, and
that in one of'these, still. extant, he expres
ses his great pleasure over the progress of
schools in England during his reign. But
all these excellent arrangements, although
very effectual during the reign of ALFRED,
were nevertheless not allowed to ripen into
full maturity, and shared the same fate as
those of CHARLES. After the death of AL
FRED followed a succession of political com
motions and storms, which destroyed what
he had commenced. But neither the'storms
of the continent nor those of the Island
could extinguish that great thought, which
had already sunk deeply into the elements
Of human thinking. Dark clouds obscured
it occasionally, but every succeskive calm
and serene sky lit it up more brillinntly than
before. It was possible for political revolu
tions to destroy particular schools, but they
could never slay that idea, which gave diem
I birth, and which brought others into life,
faster than they could be destroyed.
I The same intimate' connection, which ex
isted between Church and State on the con
tinent, during this period, formed also the
basis ofcivilizatiotton thelsland of the Anglo-
Saxons. ] Hence we find that ALFRED rebuilt
everyw here,not only the cloisters and schools,
which the ruthless hands of barbarous inva
ders had destroyed, but that he did also the
same thing• in regard to-churches. Neither
was he less interested in a well educated
clergy than in'able and learned officers of the
civil government. An institution,estahlished
by the church at Rome for the purpose of
educating persons intending to labor in Eng
land, in the service- of the church, receiv ed
special favors from him. It is even recorded
of him, that he had entertained the idea of I
translating the entire bible into the language ]
lof his subjects. But this was never accom
plished by him ; only one-half of the psaltris
were thus translated.
The numerous schools and cloisters in
England, like those on the continent, grew
out of the teachings of Christianity. Those i
which existed previous to the time of AL-
I
FRED had been founded by the servants of
the church themselves, and each bishop ex
ercised a general supervision over all the
cloisters within his bishopric. The authori
ty of these bishops was somewhat similar to
those on the continent, extending, in many
things, over into the prerogatives of the ci
yil authorities. A general religions sense
pervaded all political movements, and every
I act, on the part of the State, was therefore
controlled, to a considerable extent; by the
church. This was particularly so in regard to
the subject of education. But, in the course
of time, the power of the State was absorbed
by the authority of the church, which con
tinued to assume more of the civil power
continually, until the period of the Reforma
tion, from which time these two authorities,
—civil and ecclesiastical—acted more sepa
rately. Ever since then church and State
have had more or less their separate schools.
