Manama, Feb. 20, 1862
Mr. Enrroa—Sir, although we are not one of
that number who delight in heralding the
faults of others, nor standing upon the house
tope and crying out to the passer-by that he
may stop to note all the misdoings of his fellow
creatures, we neverthelestt deem it altogether
imprudent to remain silent and suffer the vo
taries of ignorance and prejudice to assail with
impunity the most cherished institutions of the
land. We have been forced to wituess within
the last few days, the repulsive bight of a few
individuals assailing a custom established by
the most popular schools of the land, with an
audacity and stupidity equalled only in folly by
the Ilddliog of Nero during the conflagration
of Rome. Such uncalled fur attacks need but
to be mentioned that they may be despised.
- From the east and from the west our papers
come ladened with gleatliogs - of eishibitions, and
teeming with commendations of the custom,
and words of encouragement to the youths of
our schools But a few days ago, ant a spell
of enchantment as It were, was thrown over
the schools of this place, by the inter, sting ac
counts of tke progress and succesa of the exhi
bition of Philadelphia high school, which is
probably the most thorough, efficient and pros
perous school of the kind in the State. Every
nerve was strung anew for action, and the p'u
pils of our schools, burning with emulation and
the determination to accomplish like results,
pressed eagerly forward with renewed energy,
anxiously awaiting the time when they shalt
be permitted to make a public exhibition of
their labors in the school-room fur the last few
months, and give evidence that their time has
not been spent in vain.
But all of a sudden that spirit of rebellion,
which is the source of all evil, has manifested
itself in the actions of certain individuals of
this place, who ciandestinly seek the ruin of
our schools and the destruction of the scholar's
brightest anticipations. Such a course is un
doubtedly the result of impure motives upon
the part of its advocates, and we trust will
meet with that censsre which it justly de
serves from an enlightened public. We hope
the gentlemen will hereafter be more discreet
in selecting a victim for their malice. It cer
tainly would look better in this enlightened
age if they would attend to their own business,
rather than try to injure others by means of
catrying petitions and conniving at the pro
gress of the ago. We would at least advise
them "to take the beam out of their own ey e
before attempting to pull the mote out of their
brother's eye." As OBSERVER.
How Great Britain and France will consider
the news from Roanoke is apropos. If anxious
to interfere in our concerns, it will probably
resolve them at once ; for three, and at most
six months, will put interference out of the
question. If merely desirous, for the sake of
humanity and the prosperity of commerce, to
secure an early and a lasting peace, they will
see that bothi these ends can be obtained by
giving the Government fair play, as it will
soon crush the rebellion, and, by re-establish
ing itself, promote trade, the arta and freedom.
But if, animated by envy, tyranny or blood
thirstiness, they contemplate either recognition
of the South, or armed help to armed treason,
let them first behold a vigorous and united
North, its energies now developed and its
spirit aroused, determined to accept neither
mediation nor compromise till the old land
