To Exfri.i.KNCT, David S. Rein:
St'r; When tbo ConiBion School ijstern
of North Carolina was first adopted we all
begaD to congratulate ourselves on a bar
gain w hich had not been made, to wit, thit
the State or the law was to take off our
liatidi all the trouble of educating our chil
dren. It wan considered that nobody now bad
an thing to do in the premise ; a machine
: had been invented aud started that would
catch up all the ignorance and manufacture
it into intelligence, would run of it, own ac
cord, keep iUelf regulated, mend itself,
bring the raw article to its doom, put it in
the mills bj its own inherent power, and
regulate its motion and its arrangements
bv its own volition. Wonderful machine!
Such an engine nerer had been seen before,
nor will sjidi a perpetual motion, instinct
with reason, memory and a witc forecast ev
er be invented by man. All his inventions
need his nursing care to make thcni useful;
and of all others this ia most needed by a
system designed to enlighten, to moralize,
aud to fit for the trusts and responsibilities
of men and women the rising generation of
a great Republic.
For one I would not voluntarily live un
der any government that would lake niT my
hands the care of educating my children ;
of the cot, so far as money is to be paid, I
would willingly be relieved, but of the cot
of c.rc and oversight, never would 1 con
sent to be discharged.
A government having such a power would
be an intolerable despotism.
Your F.icelleticy, having much experi
ence of human nature, will doubtless agree
with me in one conclusion, namely, tlmt it is
a liander on our race to ray that the
lo-.e of money is the ruling passion. Coun
ting by heads, few, very lew of the human
family sell themselves to the sordid pas-ion
of gain merely for the sake of gain ; the
great majority are socking cae, pleasure,
to get rid of that doom pronounced on Adam
and every on of his to make tln ir bread by
the sweat of their brow. To be aide to get
relieved of trouble, in s line way, i- the great
aim of a vast majority of mankind ; and in
liming at this goal, or rather at the goal of
happiness, they forget what re;il!y consti
tutes the pleasures of immortal beings.
'iod made liibor our duty, and as he is
all bencliccncc he made our duty o ir happi
ness. F.very trouble he impo.-es on us is
really a blessing; and if our children, like
brutes, could take care of themselves as
s.mr as boru, there would be no such thing
a family tie, filial reverence, frnternal af
fection or conjugal love and iidehty.
Nevertheless, without reasoning on this
sujeet we were disposed to rej dic at the
nu.itakcn idea that the State had taken from
us ail the care of educating our children;
and acting on this fatal notion we were ail iu-di-p'ised
to do any thing to promote the suc
cess of the schools, and deemed it a greit
hatd-l.iji to be called on to act as Committee-men.
When specially required to per
form any duty we murmured, exclaiming
in bitter disappointment, "1 thought the
State bad taken this trouble off tnv hands
it's an outrage to have to le troubled in this
way when others are as much interctcd as
1 am !"
Yes, it was considered an outrage to have
to look after the education of our own chil
dren to have to be troubled with the regu
lating of school", the repair of sehri d-hou-es,
the selection of good teachers, the settling of
di-putes, and the oversight of the schools
where our own precious offspring were be
ing trained aud prepared for honor or infa
tnv ! It was tmbody s but)inc., it was the
State's link-out, ami if itco ild not regulate
these schools it ought to abandon tlietn.
Such was the universal feeling, an 1 the
State not being able to keep vvatrh at every
school house without having the most abso
lute power, and a revenue to spend in this
object, of ten millions a year, the school w ere
lelt to chance.
To do what we nnthoughtedly looked for
to watch vigilantly at the door of every
school-house, see specially to its manage
ment, without the aid of the parents them
selves, would cost more than the whole
amount paid to teachers. Rut is this the
language becoming freemen ! 1 write with
plainness I want people to consider.
What is the fundamental principle of our
government! That nil power is vested in
and derived from the people that the
lVoiiV ore the Llitvrntntciit.
Offices are created that their iincunibetits
may discharge certain duties which the peo
ple can delegate with convenience and safe
ty. You, Sir, perforin certain Kxeutivc du
ties, inconvenient to be petlorined by all the
pcojdc, and that can be safely entrusted to
you for a limited period. 1 act in like man
ner so act the Chairman of the Ccunty
Hoards, ,Vc , Ac, Hut ran you enforce the
law without the help of the pcple T Can
you send agents all over the State, spies in
to every neighborhood to take up criminals
for trial! The people, through their grand
juries, presentthem, the people must, through
the law, and by the aid of law officers, all
established by themselves, regulate their
own affairs. :
So with the schools the State can regu
late the general system, afford information
ami statistics, pass laws and establish of
ficers to execute them, &e., Ac, but still the
people must every where assist, must as
sume trouble, and must bring to bear, on
the officers of each school-house, an active,
wholesome public opinion. j
This cry about trouble is unworthy cf us I
a American citizens, unworthy of us as
men, unworthy of us as immortal and ac-:
countable beings.
We had our choice when erecting a form
of government; Ktirope afforded various
models, most of which relieved the people
of all public cares. We chose a new kind
of one, involving a perpetual series of
troubles to each citizen.
L'vrry four years we choose io be troub
led with the election of our hitfhnt magis
trate, the President of t!i whole country,
and in tick time and anxiety does it cost us
itji'tii tut no. jet tho. r'iit t.-.u'i ; every
i six yean our representatives, chosen by us,
I select our Senator?; every two yearti we
i are in great trouble to get the right man to
represent us in the popular branch of Con
gress ; every two yemra we have to listen to
speeches, aud read circulars, and go to
Rarbecues, and putt for them, to secure the
proper meu to act it our places iu the State
Legislature; every two years we take much
pains to find out anl have elected a good
lioveruor; every folr years wo overhaul our
Clerks ; every two years bring our Sheriffs
to a ircneral rerkonmi; before all the ceonle :'
and every year pa ou the Constables.
Then we all wlo read very properly
take the political pipers to see what our of -
. . .
Cccrs are about aud we discuss all public
tdic
matters and quarrjl over them from youth I inglorious ease ! This march at true ii.de
to age. Now weji.o.ld bav.e selected a form pendence ia somewhat toilsome ; there must
of government involving Done of thti trou
tle; we could have taken, lor instance, a
government like that of Russia, a country
which is just now attracting much attention.'
The people there are never troubled with
public matters; the entire responsibility of
affairs is throw, on a miserable beine called
the Czar or K.iperor, and a few unhappy
friuuls who institute the nobility. The
people have tninterrupted, profound, eter-
nal peace from Public quarrels and po-
public quarrels ami po
litieal squabiles ; and so careful is the gov
eminent of .heir ease that if any one, for
getful of hi comfort, in a fit of dyspepsia or
excitementof any kind, utters eveu a whis-
per, in bis chimney comer, concerning the
troubles o'the Slate or the condition of pub-
lie affairs, he is immediately dragged from
his faint y and beat to death with'rods or
i . i .ii- . I. . r .re:
bena, U cool and congeal in that purgatory
of snow.
Thus careful is the government of thc
ease o the reonle : and it troes even farther.

I . i.,i :.,
c i 1 1 iod ot bunian uaptJiuess; we selected, iu

bles before alluded to; and he is unworthy
to enjoy the privileges of that government
and unt.t to be one of its free citizens, who
will net cheerfully assume all its troubles,

And chiefest of its responsibilities, the

greatest in its resilts. and the least difficult,
" , it- j .i
so far as mere labor u concerned, is the
, , e ..ii
rroptr eouratioa a training ot our chil-
drei, ; this is thc imtur .mu,i,an, the one
thing upon which the maintenance aud use-
fulness of our free irstitutions depends more
than on all our other public burdens and
troubles put together. If the men and wo
men of the State ire enlightened and noble
minded it makes icry little difference what
party succeeds, oi who is ejected, the State
will be happy, j ru-perous und powerful ; if
all the men and w omen grow up in igno
rance, vice and idleness, elections and par
ties wiil be powerless for good, and the rc
public will decny md give way to despotism.
If we cannot sint and uphold a system
of Common Sehotls, could we have begun
and maintained a Republic as our fathers
did ! The whole world was against them
they were a few feeble colonists, with no
name or influence among mankind, and sur
rounded with ouo universal night of despot
ic pow- i, vigilart, aggressive and threaten
ing. And when l lie y began the experiment of
a common government, for t lie
P

thousand new and -tartlingdilbculties sprung
up in their path, unseen before
nor could

himself, the ineonparable Washington, was
often oppo-ed in opinion by his L'i;hLst offi
cers, lhd they Jo as some propose to do
with our Common Schools because there are
difficulties and disputes and various opin
ions' Hid they, iu a pet or in a it of un
inanlv and uiireptibliean timidity, declare
they ought to giie up the government and
(all back ou a King! I hat government
has descended to us. now powerful, re-pect-

that we, the people, aro incapable of sell-
government our Declaration of Rights be-
comes a solemn mockery, and our Constitu-
lions unmeaning riddles, since the spirit that
coticeived is no longer here to interpret
them.
In another respect wc also most solemnly
belie ourselves, and are sitting for a most
humiliating picture in history. As politic!-

KAUTTIOUAKK IN CALIFORNIA.
Consiilerable exeitement has been crea
ted in certain parts of the country of late
by the alarming fr-rjueney of the shocks of
earthquakes. It is estimated by a gentle
mau who has kept a record of these events
that an earthquake shock had occurred in
some parts of the State onee a fortnight for
the last year. Some of these have been
very severe. In one of the Southern coun
ties, it will be remembered, a shock took
place n month since wl.ieh caused the cat
tle to bellow wilb fright. In one of the
towns several houses were disturbed to a
degree that it was impossible to close the
doors the next day. The earthquake which
oeeurred in this city on the of June,
l"1-);!, was sufficient it. the present state of
our buildings to do considerable ni-schief.
ticiieral Yaliejo, it is said, has spokeu of
one of these . isitations that tonk p'aCe in .
this city iu IT -13 that would have levelled
a large portion of the city had it been built
at that time. The recent obsctvatioti of
Raroti Turbo, a Ocrtnan geologist have
show n that the ground at the Mi-sion J Mo
res teen raised by some sul terraneous
actiou some eighteen inches within the last
twelve months. Our geologists confirm this
Ftateiiict.t. We are informed that in the
coa-t range of mountains there are tiisures
in the earth to an unfathomable depth
which extend for miles, evidently caused by
earthquakes at no very distant date. What
effect u very severe earthquake would have
in this vicinity it is impos.tibbe to tell. In
addition lo any dama-je to buildings, a re
ry great change would doubtless be effected
in the relations of laud and w ater. It is
supposed by a skilful geologist that the re
sult would be likely to bo a reclamation of
some eight or ten thousand aires of marsh
land, which would be made into good solid
ground iu this county. It is recorded that
at the time of the destruction of C:i!!.io by
an earthq Hike, an immense wave, of the
height ot thirly-scvpti feet, overwhelmod the
city, and extended into the country ninety
miles! That great natural and compara
tively recent changes have taken place in
this State no 0110 van doubt who has iv( !j
the subject the slihtr-t attention. Large
quantities of -.hell-fish and beach-stones are
eon-tanti V beiliir found at the height of two
or three thousand fei t above the level of
the sea, and other indications show such
ch.m.'es I 'Ac r, 'I'hntt.
Siim hiM; AnrtAY One of the ino.-t dis
tressing bgl.ts t: has e.er bceu our duty to
r'-cord, occurred on board the steamboat
Dresden, list Friday, at or near Helena,
Arkansas. Our inloi inati-.n iu regard to
this affray is of this effect: An American
lady and her children had taken deck pas
sage on the Dresden, on their way south.
ihe lady i- not accompanied 1-y a inula
protector. Hi fore she arrived at Helena,
some Irishmen on tiic deck had interfered
with and abu.-ed the lady to uch a decree,
that she found it necessary to complain to
thc pffir-.-rs of the boat. They declined t
pioteet her, end sent her back to the cabin.
Here the Irishmen again insulted the lady,
and finally whipped her children. She
again appealed to the officers of the boat for
protection, telling them t!.-it, alth'-ugh her
necessities had Compelled her to take a deck
pa-sage, yet she wis a respeet.-.ble woman.
Rut the officers agaii. refused to interfero
in her behalf, upon hearing which, n nolle
souied Kentuckian (whom liod preserve)
volunteered to protect her, and accompanied
her to the second cabin. When they ar
rived at the door, he was accosted by an
Iri-hiiuiii who was standing there withau
it-Hi poker in his hand, upraised, and ques
tioned as to his intention to aid the w.imau.
The Kentuckian immediately shot the Irish
man, when the gang rushed upon him. He
killed three o! them, and wounded the fourth,
the ball glanced from bis ribs and killed a
woman in an adjoining berth. The Ken
tNekiai. was rut very bad'y with kuiie-,
and we regret to bear his life- w as despaired
of.
We were on board of the Dresden when
she landed at this port. There was a large
number of passengers on the, boat. It is
astonishing that none of tin in interfered to
save the hie of a felow-n.an .i--:iui:ed i-y a
mob. M' 'i jn'iis Wli .
What Cu'sks tmk Titks. A scientitic
writer in the Washington I'nion thus ili-p-'-ses
of the moon theory in causing the tides
of the ocean : If tin-re are such deep, wide
caverns, many miles, iu length, and s..inc of
them of unknown extent, on the dry por
tions of the earth's surface, there are doubt
less other caverns quite as extensive in the
submerged mountains, plains and valleys
of the ocean. It is our belief that there
are, and hence that in these huge recesses
of the oceanic globe are source ot the rise
and fall of the tides. Into and out of inter
nal depths of the oceans the waters are reg
ularly revolved, and i. either the moon nor
the stars, nor the sun, nor the winds, nor
the clouds, can produce any sensible c licet
upon them.
