The winter libs been a very severe'one throughout
the country, bnl we hare no account of distress a

enough to relieve any fear* on tbi» score. The
following is from a paper of ihb Uth.
The Misas.—By recent arrivals from the mines
we learn verbally that at the Stanislaus there »
from twelve to eighteen inches of snow; on the
Moeklemv and Dry Creek, *tx to let*; and at the
fourto six. It Is highly probably that
while we have bad much rain here in week,
there has been considerable snow in th£ 'mines.
At the last sccouots, however, the miners wer*
still digging a little, as the streams bad not risen
my. All reports concur in Representing tbe con
diuon of thej miner* as very comfortable. They
hnve good log bouses, nndi plenty ot wood and
provisions. Good judges are o! opinion that
there is at least six months, provisions m the

a colder winter wai never experienced in Califor

fallen to the depth of six and eight inches, and still
.remains upon the ground.
The following is from a paper of tbe 251 h the la
test we have:
Tijx WkathxA.— Since our last publication, with
the eicepliou of clear day, we have had nothing
but a succession or southern pales, accompanied
with rain. The. shipping-in port'.have been drag
ging their anchors several times, but fortunately no
damage h«» been sustained. Communication from
Sacramento city and Stockton with the mines is
: entirely cut oft the whole of the lowlands being un
| der water. Many wagons laden with merchandise
and provisions. destined for the mines, have been
stopped by the heavy storm, and will probably
not get through until the spring. Persons com
ing down from the mines hare been obliged to
swim aad wade a half a mile at u lime. In the
mines the snow varies from one la three feel in
depth.

REVIEW OF & REPORT
Prepared and read by Professor Lemuel Stephens, of
the Western University, proposing a plan of in
struction for a Pittsburgh High School, by Profes
sor Charles EQiott, of the same Institution.
Oar readers must sot inisr that we intend to
depreciate the physical sciences. We accord to
them a very high degree of importance, but in
their proper place The barbarian who would
banish them from a system of education would
be an object both of pity and scorn. The coma
forts and conveniences of life demand that they
shoald be prosecuted; and in proporuou to their
cultivation and application to industrial pursuits
will be the increase of wealth and commercial
prosperity.
It will, nevertheless, ba apparent that the wri
ter assigns a position to them different from that
of the learned author ol the report. From the
tenor of the report it might be inferred, (though the
author might not intend it,) that industrial pur
suits are the chief object of life; and that educa
tion oogbt to aifn at making good manufacturers
and mechanic*. Candor require*, however, that
wo should understand him with reference to the
education- of the masses, for he speak* in term*
of high approbation of the course generally pur
sued by those designed for professional life. But
the {flan of education proposed in the report ts
for a Pittsburgh High School. Now, the system of t
education pursued in a Higi) School ought to be as ;
general aaihe|objecU of education itself. Should the
plan of the report be adopted, no soch general ob
jects could be accomplishedilhe education wouldlbe
partial and defective. Instead of being a High
School, it would bo a Mechanics’ and Merchants
Seminary. The writer would oppose no objec
tion* to such an lnstitnlioQ. We have Theologi
cal Seminaries, Law hod Medical Schools, to
which young men repair tor the purpose of stu
dying professions, and manufacturers and me
chanics have as good a right to establish insti
tutions designed to instruct youths who intend
to follow industrial pursuits in those arts and
sciences connected with their different employ
ments. But such Institutions ought to he estab
lished by voluntary contribution*. A communi
ty aught not to be taxed for Hbe support of a
school which would benefit only a part. Lf it is
to be supported by the public, let it afford ttiu
I means of instruction m every branch of litera
ture and science. There are youth* in every
walk of life who are looking forward to the learn
ed professions. Many of them have not the |
means to defray their expense* at private classi
cal schools and colleges. Surely they ought not
to be prevented from attaining the summit of
their laudabie ambition.
There is one consideration which renders it
highly important that the High School, in case it
should go into operation, should adopt a more lib
eral course of educatiou than the one proposed.
It will be the only place in the city where an
education can be obtained. In case, of its sue*
i cess, the University, unless placed on a surefoun-
I dation, rau« inevitably go down. Would the in
| habitants of Pittsburgh endure the stigma to have
no superior classical school?
The writer feels identified with the University,
and he would lament very much to see it tail.—
Nothing would/ gratify his feelings more than to
see a High School incorporated with it, if prac
ticable; but if the wisdom of the people deter*
mines otherwise, he has nothing to say. The
object of a High School is a laudabie one; u
would be more laudable if U contemplated a
course of instruction adapted to all the want* of
the place.
Bql this is a practical age; we must have a
practical education. The study of the dead lan
gnages i» only fit for the cloisters, metaphysics
for the disputations of the school men, and logic
for the purpose of amusing ouraeles with pas
ties. Chemistry and other branches of physical
science, are the only studies worthy of our atten*
A great mistake is made about the meaning of
the word practical Nothing is considered practi
cal, except that which bring* in return* of dollar*
and cent*. Now, this, as we have seen, i*not the
object of education. But it mayibe necessary to
be a little more explicit on this point, and to thow
the difference between wbat Schiller call* the
head-learned and bread-learned —the truly educa-
I ted man and the man whose education terminate*
I in his purae and stomach.
Education is of two binds, the one is the educa
tiQU of habits and particular faculties; the other the
developemeat of the whole man. The former has
reference to some professional calling, and ts mis'*
taken by many for true education. So for from
this'is the truth, as a profound philologist baa well
remarked, the more a mem is educated profession
ally, the less is he educated as a man. Unacquaint
ed with almost every thing not immedia ely con
nected with his profession, the furniture of his
mind would be as incongruous as fine mirrors and
lich divans in an otherwise poorly furnished
room. His mental develo percent would have no
harmony, no symmetry; he would have the Doric
sbafl, without diameter.
Th»e education, to ita largest sense, is the de
velopement of the whole man, physical, iniellecla*.
al ahd moral. U does not consist in Spartan exer
cises and accomplishments to Cl a man for success
ful rivalry at lEe Olympic game*, end for high
achievements in the battle field. It does not con*
sol in training the memory at the expeoso oi
the jndgmeot, nor in cultivating the aesthetic
part or'our nature tu the i»®gl«ict i»u*»iv >e
lenectual, obr doe* jt admit of developing ibv ir.-
trilect without an attempt at a corresponding U*-
velopement of the moral power*; but it consitt* in
the training and cuhure iff oU these m presenting
in on* associated glow of beauty, all the lava It**
lof body and soul. Tbt* is education. It* end is to
fit man forth© performance of hia duties a* an intel
lectual, moral and social being, and assimilate bim
to his lugh-born nod fair original.
Keeping this end in view, there would be
no impropriety m calling those studies. which
best effect (he purpose, practical. But a distino
tion of studies has been made ioto theoretical soil
practical, und it is not our design si present lo du
note alxml words- By theoretical studies are gen
(•rally undetstood those that afford ns no return " l
material products: by practical, those that do. The
whole question luros upon the points, theretore
whether inlellectusl and moral produces are 00l
os valuable as material; whether strength and vig
or of mind are not to be estimated aa highly as the
tkilluJ exercise of bone and muscle. Here we
come back again to the relative importance of the
spiritual and material, upon which a decision ha*
already been : pronounced.
But, lerus examine this subject a little more in
detail. . .w .
In the study of the Classics, for example, a high
ly practical result is attained in its reflex influence
upon the mind. U tonus habits of attention and
industry very important to our success m Me.
Should the utilitarian, then, ask what advantage is
there in spending six or seven years to the stody
of the Classics and other things, which cannot be
turned to immediate practical use, the answer u,
the advantage is to Hus mind itself But mind gov
erns mailer; therefore, whatever benefits mind
i must have a happy effect upon all tls relations,
whether spiritual or material.
The reflex infloeoce of Classical studies is not
1 the only one; nor is it perhaps the most extensive,
i The Classics coqtain treasures of knowledge sod
I wisdom. History, oratory, poetry, philosophy, cn
ticwno, law and medicine, form their subjects.
' These we ought lo know, not through the dun me*
dtum of translations only, but, d posable, in the
j majestic diction, dignified simplicity, and flowing
I periods of ihuir respective authors.
In the clerical profession, the study ol the Clas
! sics is of great importance. Theology, to a great
extent, is a mere application of philology to the
' «tudv and elucidation of the Scriptures. Ihese
1 Scriptures were originally written In Greek and
i Hebrew, a knowledge of these languages, there
i fore, |s essential. Many of the early lathers ofthe
Church wrote in Laun; apd many of the best com
| mentaries exist in that language.
The legal profession as well as the clones] has
much to do with verbal interpretation, and in this
point of view, it may also be considered as an ap
plication of pUolcgy. It is well known that very
important cases often timos turn upon the construc
tion and interpretation of clauses of the law, and
sometimes upon the meaning of a siagh. \yord.—
Now it is obvious that a lawyer, who has practiced
.translation • from one language into another, and
wbtrhas bee. ajsroisefl ifl verbal and syntactical
analy.is, and In construljlg diferen, passages, ns
every one musl be in reading Latin and (.reek, is
much more competent to the tuek of interpreting a
legal doonment, or an abstruse passage of law.
than otto who is imperfectly acquainted with lan
vnngc, or whose knowlodgo of it does not extend
beyond his vernaculv tongue; lor, like the various
departments of ontural. history nod science, laa.

Professor S., is his report, spoke with his charac
teristic good sense on (be importance of a know
ledge of Chemistry and Physio to tha manufre
taxor. “Tbeyteacb him the nature of the materials
he uses, and the nature of the changes which he
nrodoces on thews materials. In the manufitclure
of soap and glass, it Is ql tfca highest importance in
every Wanes to determine urn amount of pure

«i inferior article. Thu porter should koow «•
aclly the ingredients of his glazing, for ia his igno
rance he may, as he often has done, tend poison
and dueaseinto many families." This knowledge
Is all very important to be known: and a man is
culpable for hia<4gnomnee of it, if he has an op
portunity of learning it, bat neglects to do so. But
if this knowledge is important, how much more so
is that of oar mental and moral being, with its re
lations. Throogb ignorance here many have been,
poisoned in a mudumore vital port than the body.
Intellectual science is one of great nracticel mo
ment- It sits at the helm, gmng direction to the
vessel and pointing out the course. "Nor was it.”
observes Mr. Payne, “till Bacon had introduced
juster principles of physical imtoiry —principles
which were the resnll of more correct views oftbe
and laws of the mind—that physi
cal science commenced that splendid career of im
provement which has equally astonished and de*
lighted mankind.* In looking to those rules of physi
cal investigation, which he has given us,-we are too
apt,” says Dr. Brown, to think of the erroneous phy
sical opinions which preceded them, without pay
ing sufficient attention to the false theories of
intellect which had led to those very physical ab
surdities. We mu*t not forget that the temple
which be purified, was not the temple of external
nature, but the temple of the mind—that in its tn-.
most sanctuaries were all the idols which he over
threw; and that it was not till these were removed, j
and the intellect prepared for the presence of a no
bier divinity, that truth would deign to unveil her
self to adoration —ft« in the mysteries of those east
ern rebgions, in which ihe first ceremony lor ad
mission to the worship of the God, is the purifica
tion of the worshipper."
An acquaintance with the nature and powers of
the mind, affords important aid to those arts in j
which mind is the subject of direct operation.

to awaken various feelings of pleasure, transport, 1

the circumstances of the case may require. Now,
if it be the fact, that our thoughts and lecliogs are
uuiled in the relation of cause and effect, and con
sequently follow one another in a certain train, bow
can it be doubted that the teacher, the poet, the ora

effecting the object be has in view''
If we consider the relauons of intellectual pbilo*
opby to moral and theological science and liters
l ire generally, our views of its practical utility will
be greatly enhanced. But tune will not permit us
to dwell on this point any longer. Sufficient has
been said vo show that it is fruitful in results and
not hare theory and barren speculation only
The practical importance of malhema'ics is suf
ficiently understood. Would that the relations ol
spirit and the proportion of time to eternity were
as well understood, as those of quantity and tnagnt
tude; and that the laws of our moral being were
us thoroughly comprehended as those of commerce
and trade. No man can be a good citizen, or
neighbor, who is not acquainted with his relations
to God and society and has not a lively and beart
ful appreciation of the duties thot flow from them.—
In these relation* and duties, it is the object of
moral philosophy to instruct bn. tf» study must
then, be ofthe highest practical bearing upon so
ciety. Were its principle* more generally under
stood and acted upon, our jail* and penitentiaries,
would be thinned and our poliee diminished in
numbers. Bad morals are always expensive to
society.
U is not advisable, in our short space, to enter
any more into detail upon the practical bearing of
the moral and intellectual sciences. We will
briefly examine the effect which a sohool e<Uab*
hahed upon the basis proposed, would have upon
the community and edacation generally
laL—lt would create wront views iu regard to
the end of education. This we have seen is not
to train men professionally, but to develope mind.
On this point, the ancient Greeks made a wise div
unction, by calling an artisan education’ and one
designed for intellectual development by different
terms. As long as education is subordinated to
the industrial pursuits of life, we can expet nothing
noble or generous among us. Money, money, will
be the constant cry; and when California shall have
been drained of ua yellow dust, we will be eager
in our search for another El Dorado. This grovel
