Theke waves may be termed peculiarities Jf society. One, which is somewhat promi'ieut, is, that our people do not, as a' general rule, de sire education, nor are they willing to make much sacrifice to) obtain it. An other is, tha;t they are satisfied with vvorse public roads, fewer public bridges, and less iuternal iinprovement generally, than perhapsla majority of the people of most sections of I North- Carolina. They are, iudividullyj fair specimens either of the Caucassiau biped, oV African. Many I ll 1 11 liO , by the 'eniovinent of pure air, of them are fpnd of alcjohol, and are wil ling to do almost nuy thing to obtain it,; ihost of them1, liowev rer, are sumcientiv temperate in ;the use of drinks. Almost all are intemperate in one way or anoth er : some eatl too inich, nod some too little, some too bften, and of unwholsome' food, and otliers too seldom. f Some work too hard, and; sleep too little, while oth ers take too little exercise,? and sleep too much. Many Use tot accO .excessively, aud show unmistakably, ; their curved spines, sdlo aspects, trenJulous limbs, and shortness of breatl i, that they: are subjects of great Jdebiliry, and victims of tltcii own intemperance. I Our people! ate a veri religious people, and many of j them sustain ; characters s slicli, of tiulyi pious and upright citizens but many others are eitreraely religious, renewing their stocks unually, by new professions of repentance, faith, and for giveness, bii sustain iiig character for disliouesty, sb that they can not obtain goods, oua credit, to the value of five cents. .

Iu view of the great and con stantly increasing nnmber of cases of mental insanity, it is . all-important; that every cause, meutal or physical, , of im paired health, either of body or mind.

The body aud mind are 'close relatives j and disease or disturbance of the oue generally affects the other : hence every person shonld-eudeavor to under- stand the rudiments, at least, .of mentals anil physical hygiene. 1 1 Sanitary commissions would do well to look, not only after the great causes of the visitations from abroad, of cholera, yel-' low fever, &c., but also to search lout,1 and investigate various other causes of meutal aud physical disease, which are engendered and fostered in our midst, j j 1 lie excessive use of tobacco, alcohol, and coffee, is pregnant with the seeds of disease, especially 6f the organs of diges tion and innervation; hence those who use them, even in moderate excess, are tremulous, sallow, and debilitated, with confusion of mind, shortness of memory, and giddiness of head ; while those who Use them in greater excess, are often mere monuments of the total shipwreck of mental and physical worth. Colleges,' and all other seminaries, should take special care to inculcate the importance of mental discipline, in oth er words, of tuning the mind, ami keep ing it in tune. Although it is immaterial, it is, nevertheless, capable of being moulded or bent, so to gpeak, in various ways, according to the habits or customs of its possessor ; henee it should be di rected, aud continually kept, in proper channels, avoiding extravagance and oijer excitement, on the one hand, and lethargic idleness on the other. ; The present generation of yonng gen tlemen and ladies sleep too little; and nany of middle age deny themselves the amount of 'uature'sr sweet restorer" nec essary to their heaitlitui existence, far euts, guardians, and teachers, should strictly see that those under their care sty-ep-, at least, eight hours iu twenty four, In conclusion, the yriter begs leave to intimate that the present age is too fast ; that every thing that is done is done too fast, and under too mnch ex citeiueut; that when one job is done, an other is begun too soon, and without sufficient repose on the pa it of the jobber; and that people, every wherein America, live too fast aud die too fast, aud prema turely. He further begs leave to suggest the remedy, which is, simply, temperance in all things. Most respectfully submitted by ICHTHYOPHAGOS. For t'ae Watchman. State Normal School. J Mr. Editor: Your correspondent ar rived here on 21st ult., on hi way to his honie iu Kowan. The Normal School was thjn in session, supeiiutended by Prof. J. J. Ladd ofVa. llowan has a small repre sentation this year, just as she has always had in the Normal School. It is exceed ingly strange that those professing -to-teach, are not more concerned about self preparation. Normal Schools are not ex -peeled to mako scholars of dwarfs, but thev are expected to make teachers of schools. There are a great many good ! scholars who are sorry teachers: because I..! . . m -t a. A. . thev do not study the subject of teach- iuk The following .is the regular pro niiinine of the Normal : Prayer : Lect- utes 1st. on Arithmetic ; xnu. Eng lish Grammar. 3rd, Reading; 4th. Geo graphy. Then two hours are given for recreation. In the aiteruoon tue school is divided into four sections. Each sec tion lias its own room aud instructor. The theories set? forth in the lectures A. are put into practice 1. iu. Uf course. there are many theories wnicn we cannot practice to the letter, j especially in our common schools, yet by studying these theories thoroughly, and cloosely observ ing their workings, wo can gam many practical ideas which will more fully pre pare us for tlie active duties of the school -loam. Prof. Ladd gives one lecture each day ou school government. These lectureji ar0 iutei-estiug, and will benefit those, who attend them desiriug to be benefit ed. These things belong to the commou school department. Besides ' these, there are classes in Kindergarten, Latin, Alge bra, Chemistry, and Physics. The Uni: versify Musucm and Library, and also the society Libraries, are open for the benefit of Normalites. Indeed, these facts ought to induce every school-teacher to attend the Normal. All is not told. Every week we have speeches from the best and ablest of North Cai oli nan's sons. Net only the teacher,1 but the lawyer, tbjfc doctor, the t;itesman gnd the divine, come, here and give- ft jhQ benefit of their experience, observation, careful research aud ' mature thought, Laying every- tliinsr I else aside, - the' sociable teacher would receive a full remuneration for all his trouble aud expense by simply meet inir and associating with other teachers.! jA gentleman of tbj clerical order, sta ted in a speech here . last night, that rip ill day of .Gov- Swain,three-foartus:af Ui SCongresa was composed 6f native iro North Carolinians una: men euueaf iu tho'Universrty rot N. .

It is capable of consuming 19,030 balss of cotton annually, and its annual pro il act ion of manufactured good when in fair operation is pnt at l,4O0,(XK) yartls. 1 he machinery put in practical operation on luesday will mauufacture about two-fifths of the quantity mention ed, and will give employment to four hundred and 'twenty persons. In plain cottons, the feouthern mills ahead v csiab- lisl ed have done well. The Georuia mills,especially those on the Chat Ul.ojc-Jice nv4 er, have been very prosperous for years and even daring the last live years, while the New England mills haveiceii losing mo ley from the shrinkage in values, ma le large profits. The same may be said ofmillsatGrantsville, on the Augusta ant South Carolina railroad, fifteen miles from the former city and five miles from Ail en. Indeed there has been no in sta ice where cotton mills at the South; under good management, have failed to pay large dividends to their stockhold ers ' For some kind of cotton goods the So 1 th is not only beginning to supply her own-people, bat is pushing uorth ward to compete with New England in her own market, and has made some ex- pertmentnl exports to, Europe. The da of the Mississippi- essou mills are in uemaua in TSew xorlc and lioston, aud they bore off honors at the Pamexhibi of 1873. The South , can manufac- certain kinds of goods more cheaply the IS 01th. Ihe reason is not far k. New England has to carry her material to her mills, tit teen bun- miles distant." The South sets her mills in the midst flier cotton fields, and thus saves the difference between the cost of transporting the xaw material when manufactured. She saves also the charges in ' commissions to factors and middlemen, while her mill operatives in mat climate can work for lower wages, Ucause the cost of living is lower ; and there is further gain , to the Southern mill owners in tho lact that their opera tives work a greater number of hours weakly than they do in New Eng land. In this connection it is interesting to note that the Augusta (Ga.) cotton fac tory for the fiscal year ended 14th of June last paid a dividend of 8 per cent, on its capital stock, after paying for repairs, taxes, etc. Its gross earnings for the year amounted to $112,111, aud the company has now placed to- its profit aud loss ac count $267,157. The bonded debt of the comttKtuy was also reduced $18,000 daring the near. During that time 1 1,40 bales or 51447,403 pounds of cotton were con turned, which produced 14,7t2),782 yards of goods. The?average nnmber of hands employed was WJf whose wages during the sear airirrecated $loo,920. 1 he sales during the year aggregated $832,006. Balihnore Sun. 1 UxsuBSTAXTiAL Keal Estatk.
