    Report on Common Schools.
We have receiVed a copy of the seven
teenth Annual Report of the Superintendent
(A. L. Russell, Esq.) of Common Schools
of Pennsylvania, for the year ending June
Ist, 1850, and we find it contains matters
interesting to the friends of education in the
State:, and the citizens generally.
The principal cause of complaint against
the present system is the incapacity of
teachers, and the report proposes a remedy
by appointing a superintendent for each
Congressional district, whose duty it shall
be to establish and supervise in a teacher's
seminary for thorough instruction in the
Common School branches. They could be
established and supported at trifling expense,
and through their instrumentality much of
the.fund now synindered could be advan
tageously employed. An alteration of the
mode of collecting the tax is recommended,
and a reduction of the number of directors
from six to three suggested.
formain feature of the report. and that
for which it is to be most commended, is the
proposition which the Superintendent makes
of establishing a Slate 3griculturul School.
The propriety and usefulness of such an in
stitution is ably argued by the Superintenl
dent, and the duty of government to extend
every possible facility to the advancement
of ngriculturnl science is strongly enforced. l
The plan in its details embraces an institu
tion large enough for the instruction of 500
pupils at a time. three hundred to be sup
ported by the State, and two hundred at
their mu personal cost. The State pupils
selected from every county, in the ratio of
three pupils for each member of the I louse
of Representatives. the selection to be deter
mined by the staraling of the candidates in
the common schools, so that admission to ;
the State institution should he the highest
reward of merit. The term of instruction
for thti State pupils should be not less than
X years, commencing about the age of
twelve years. A fter the organization would
be completed and the system in regular
operation, fifty pupils, would therefore, en
ter, and fil4 - be discharged every year. A
Board Of Regents, consisting of three per
eons, to be elected by popular vote, to regu
late the fiscal affairs, appoint professor, &c.
One thousand acres of land to be purchased,
affording to all the pupils a sufficient area
for the practice of tillage, after deducting
pee for woodlands, orchards, pleasure
grounds, yards and buildings; suitable build
ings to be erected for the domestic and
r.ditall accommodations of the pupils ; a li
brary and philosophical apparatus. Eight
professors, with sixteeo assistants, for the
various branches of instruction, and for the
maintenance of discipline among the nom
her of pupils.
The course of instruction is iiitlicated in
the follotring list of teachers 4
A. Professor of English Literature and
Nlental Philosophy. ce (Vida President of
the Faculty, with two assistant teachers in
the primary departments;
A Professor of General flistory and Poli
tical Economy, with one assistant.
A Professor of Mathematics, with two as
sistants;
A Professor of practical Farming and
Rural Architecture, with six assistants;
A Professor of Agricultural Chemistry,
general Chemistry, Geology, acid Botany,
with two assistants;
A Professor of Natural Philosophy, Me
chanics, and Engineering, with two assis.
tants ;
A Professor of Comparative Anatomy,
and e.r yficio . Physician of the Institution;
A Professor of the German Language,
with one assistant.
. In this list the number of professors is
Fight, and of assistants sixteen. Six of the
latter should be females, who art not only
throughly Competent as teachers, lutt'whose
influence on the morals and manners of boys,
is essential to their proper cultivation.
The financial features of the project make
the total original outlay for lands, buildings,
implements, &Ca, $250,000; current outlay,
interest, $15,000; salaries of Regents, $3,-
000; President, 82,0J0; seven Professors,
511,200 each, $,400; ten male, assistants,
84,000; six female assistantants, 81,800; sal
aries ol.overseer, steward, matron, and sev
enteen female dotne?:tics, s3,3oo—fatal ex
penses, :13,500. The gross annual expen
ditures, including salaries, clothin g , food,
&c.,, 87.1,600; annual income, at $l5O a
year, for each paying pupil, 830,000—total
net cost to the State, - 814,500, or About one
hundred tend fifty dollars for each State pu
pil. This fend, the Superintendent thinks,
will attract a large numbff of pupils from
other States.
The Agricultural School at Germantown,
private enterprise, and necessarily limited
in resources, Ints pupils train the most dis
tant parts of the country, and Its merited
success paves the correctness of the opinion
expressed in the report, that a State Institu
tion, on the comprehensive scale proposed
by the Superintendent of Common Schools,
would be eagerly sought by students from
other stater.•••• The.report fixes the annual
charge for such students at one hundred and
fifty dollars, covering every item of educe
tioi; and' maintenance, clothing only excep
ted. 'fills • charge is' certainly too low.
There can Ls no doubt that the institution,
founded and coat:Med as the Superinten
dent proposes, vouLl at once command two
hundred' paying students from our own and
other State 4 at two kindred dollars a year
er.e.b... This would yield forty thousand dot
tars tt . year, reducing the cost of the institu
tion to the Commonwealth to thirty-four,
instead of forty-four thousand dollars, as the
report estimates. There is no college in
the country. .that offers equal advantages for
the same charge. .

Description of the Nicaragua Route.
We copy the following graphic descrip
tion of the new California Route from the
New York Sun :
Passengers from California land on the
Pacific side,at the Port of Realejo in Nicar
agua. Here a great many Americans have
settled, and several fine American hotels
are opened, where the best fare and accom
modations are had at moderate prices. From
here passengers go by horse or stage for 810
to Granada, which is a small town at the
northern end of the Great Lake. The road
from Realejo to Graneda passes through one
of the richest and most fertile territories on
the Continent. Midway is the city of St.
Leon, the capital of Nicaragua, where pas
sengers will also find first rate American
hotels. Several days may be spent here to
some advantage in esaming the curiosities
of the city.
Arriving in sight of Grenada, the heart of
every American traveller thrills with delight
as he beholds the flag of -his country flying
from the stern of a trim little steamboat an
chored not fur from the shore, and almost
under the shadow of the great volcano of
Mombachn. The steamer proves to be the
Director, and he prepares for a voyage
down the lake to San Carlos, through seen
cry the most grand, majestic and sublime,
which the eye of a men has ever gazed
upon. • The distance from Grenada to San
Carlos is about ninety miles.
Leaving Granada, the steamer dashes out
far into the lake, in order to pass the point
of Mombacha, rounds tip Tor the ens of Ni.
en rag,na, and steers to pass midway between
the two great volcanic islands. The scene
which now bursts upon the visien of the
traveller is unutterably sublime. On the
rights, and close on board, the mountain is
land of El Zipatero towers up Iron the
clear deep, and just beyond, the mountains
of old Grenada and old Mombacha likewise
loom.
On the left. seemingly but a few rods
distant, the majestic volcano of Omectepe
rises to the height of seven thousand feet !
Just beyond this is seen the volcano of
Ma
deira five .thousand feet high ! Right
ahead is seen the city of Nicaragua, • be
hind which tower up another chain of noble
mountains.
The United States abound in bistutiful
scenery, it is true ; but of all the deep, soul.
moving sights which mortal man ever saw.
none compares with that from the deck of
the Yankee steamer Director, as she plows
in between Na pater° and Omectepe, towards
the anchorage' of Nicaragua.
As the boat draws near to Nicaragua, the
steamers bell is rung, the small boat lower
ed, the engine stopped, and the landing
made in real North Niger style.
It is strongly pleasing to an American to.
observe with what wonder and awe the
Nicaraguans look upon a steamboat. The
Director is the first steam propelled vessel
which has elver broke the silence of their
Great Lal,e, and while we think their moun
tains rather testi," they believe our steam
boat is an actual miracle. The Nicaraguans
will do an tell ine for the Americans, but
they hate and with good reason the Eng
lish.
From here the baat makes a straight
coarse for San Cerios. The lake is studded
with many islands, some very high, and
clad with a perpetual covering of luxuriant
trees and tropical 'plants.
At San Carlos the outlet of the lake to
the Gulf of Mexico comment es, being called
the river San Juan. Here passengers leave
the steamer, and proceed in bt.ats down the
river to San Juan,- which is the Atlantic
terminus of the route. The influx of Ame
ricans has infused new life into the country.
As an instance, we may met. tion that a
Company has been organized at Leen, for
opening a new and shorter road from that
city to the harbor of Realejo. In granting
them a charter, the Secretary of State says ;
witness with touch satisfaction this ad
vance in the improvement and civili.eition
of the country by a company of Nicaraguan
citizens. It is ne first industrial associt Lion
which has yet been organized, and marks
a line between the depression and dissolatinn
of the past, and the prosperity and hope
which providence now extends to us."
Sir John Franklin.
Despatches have been received nt the
Admiralty from Captain ICellett, C. 8., of
Her Majesty's ship Herald, dated at sea
the 14th of Crctcrb'er, 1830, on his return
from Behring's Straits. The Herald had
communicated with Her Majesty's• ship
Plover, on the 10th of July, at Chamisso
Island, where the Plover had passed the
preceding winter. Tie two Ships procee
ded to the northward until they sighted the
pack ice. When. the Herald returned to
Cape Lisburne,-in quest of Captain Collin
son's expedition, and on the 31st f'll in with
Her Majesty's ship Investigator, which had
made a surprisingly short passage of 213'
days from the Sandwich Islands. The He
rald remained cruising- off Cape Lisburne,
and again fell in with the Plover on the 18th
of August, on her return from Point Barrow,
Commander Moore having coasted in his
boats, and minutely examined the several
inlets as far as that point from toy Cape
without gaining any intelligence ofle mis
sing expedition. Commander Moore and
his boat's crew had suffered severely from
exposure to cold. Captain Kellett buving
fully victualled the Plover, ordered her to
winter in Grande.). harbor, (her former an
chorage at Chamisso Island not being con
sidered safe) and then returned . to the south
ward, on his way to England.—Wilmer (S.

Outrage upon an Idiot Negro.
A few weeks since nn individual in Ghent,
Carrolicounty; pufchnsed three neg
roes—a mother and her two children—one
of the latter, a girl some eight or nine years
of age, being,an idiot. In consideration of
his taking the idiot child offthe hands of the
former owner, he got the mother and the
other child at a very low price. The child
was given into the hands of an old negro
woman, in a cabin some distance from the
owner's residence, to be taken care of.
Having occasion, however, for the services
of the woman about his premises, the idiot
was left in the cabin alone. Finding it n
great burden he offered to give any one
who would take it a hundred dollars. This
offer was promptly accepted by a man skinn
ing by, who in his turn, offered fifty dollars
to any one who would take it from him.
The offer was acceded to by n third person,
who immediately offered twenty-five dollars
to any one to take it on the conditions on
which he had done. A customer was riot
long wanting—the baroain was struck, and
the twenty-five dollars, paid. The fellow
into. whose hands the idiot last fell in com
pany with, another, proceeded to the cabin,
some taw miles distant, on n cold frosty
morning, took the child out almost •naked
and barefonted, and drove it before them al-
Mom the whole distance--her feet covered
with blood from having been cut by the
hard, frosty ground. The monsters took
the child to a lint or store boat, lying up
there, and for a while amused themselves
by placing her on a hot stove with her hare
feet, burning thorn most horribly, .and by
lighting pieces of paper. and applying it to
different parts of her body. The owner of
the boat coming'in, ordered the fellows to
leave his premises which they did. One
of the rascals then procured a skiff, put the
child into it and proceeded down the river.
Ile shortly after returned without the child;
and upon bring asked What he had done
with it, refused to give any satisfaction. A /
flat boat coining along in the! course of a few
hours, he toil into: it, and has not since
been heard of. The child was doubtless
drowned, or left upon the bank of the river
to die. The affair has created considerable
feeling among the community in which, it
took place,and the individual who purchased
the family is greatly distressed. He doubt-
I"ss offered and paid the $lOO in good faith,
believing it would be amply sufficient com
pensation for the trouble of taking care of
the idiot. lie has offered a reward for the
recovery of the child. It is to be hoped
that the villains concerned in torturing and
making away with the idiot will be arres
ted and severely punished.
P. S.—Since the above has been written.
we find a paragraph in the Madison Banner,
in which it is said that a fellow named Ross,
alias Crawford, has been arrested at Madi
son, supposed to be the scoundrel who took
the girl off in the skiff. He is now in Ili'
in that city.—New .11bany (la.) Ledger,
