We publish to-day the essential parts of an address issued by the State Board of Education, which is of prime importance to the people of North Carolina. Not only are the teachers interested in the matter, but every parent, "and indeed, every citi zen who appreciates the advantages of education, and who desires to see the stigma removed from North Carolina that according to white population there is a greater per centage of ignorance than in any of the thirty-eight States. Such is the fact as the census of 1870 most clearly reveals. We had occasion two years ago to examine the reports, and we were shocked to find that our good old State goodHSnd true in so many respects stood Z in the educational alphabet. This must continue as long as the white people of North Carolina take so little interest in education, and as long as fathers work their children all the year round rather than allow them to have any schooling if only in the primary branches. The movement recently set on foot to establish a school at the Universi ty for the special education of teach ers, is very wise and very timely. It must result in great and assured good to the people at large in the end. North Carolina has had for a hun dred years good classical schools. It is not too much to say that the school at Oxford in 1820, and, which under aitterent teachers continues until the present, is second to none in the land. Johnston, Lindsay, A. G. Brown and Horner, four very famous teachers, have been among the number who have conducted a classical school at that place. Mr. Johnston, fifty years ago,, had no rival in-the State but W. J. Bing ham. Mr. Horner has never been surpassed in the South. The present Fetter school is every way deserving of patronage. Then there were the admirable schools at Warrenton, Hillsboro, Louisburg, Raleigh and other points, that have proved very great blessings in the past. To-day there are several schools for boys of very high repute in different sections of the State. The old Bingham school still flourishes under the fourth of the name, and it is second to no school in the South, we sin cerely believe. But whilst we have had, and, stil have, these excellent classical schools, there has been a sad deficiency both in the number and character o: schools of a lower grade. Good teachers have not abounded suffi ciently to meet the wants of the State. The Normal Sohool to be in stituted at Chapel Hill will, to a large extent meet the demands and supplement the deficiencies. Teach ers will be sent out properly taught and disciplined, and filled with the necessary enthusiasm they will be gin and carry on the great work Of elevating the school system of the State. The Raleigh News says of the new departure." in education in North Carolina: "There have been great advances in the art of teaching. Old fashioned teachers will be surDrised at the cxtiaoruiuary em- cieucy of the new methods, as developed by such accomplished experts as rroies- sors Lada ana uwens ana men coaujuiurs. They have already distinguished them selves by successful worK in mis uireeuuu. ... . xm Professor Ladd is a brilliant presiaing ow cer and conductor of such schools, a good lecturer, powerful in arousing enthasiasm among his auditors, rroressor uwens is widely known as an aDie ana leurueu in structor. The Board will certainly add to this force one, probably two proiessors.tne best obtainable in the State." And then the Raleigh Observer has some judicious remarks upon the same subject, a part of which we copy: "Normal teaching is not only a science but an art. It requires for imparting it something besides learning and literary ac- comnlishments. College Professors, no matter how deeply imbued with knowledge and successful in imparting it from their professorial chairs, unless they have like wise been trained in normal methods, are nneaual to the task of imparting those methods. Thev must be inculcated by ex perts in this particular art, by men who have not only studied its principles, but have been accustomed to carry them into practice in the arena of the school "Tho .,-ivrities of the University who arc determined to do everything in their jwrfer to matte its advantages accessible to an classes, the poor as well as the rich, have thrown their halls, recitation rooms. laboratories, museums, and library open to mis ocnooi. It further urges: "Let all who wish to become teachers. let all who are already teachers, male and female, assemble at Chapel Hill on the 3rd of July, or as soon thereaftei as possible. and let us have a grand Revival of Educa tion." We like this; it is so much better for the press to unite in making a common cause in the educational ad vancement of North Carolina than to be warring and antagonistic upon questions of mere party interests jl he editor who can cause the seeds of virtue and intelligence to spring up in the virgin soil of our youthful mind has accomplished more good than he could possibly accomplish if he had caused a partv tnumDh in m a some village or township. The one may bring blessings to thousands in the end; the other merely serves the hour. We join our brethren in wishing this new enterprise the fullest suc cess, and in the promise of a hearty co-operation to do what we can to make the Normal School at the Uni versity a powerful instrument in the intellectual regeneration of North Carolina. As the News well savs. et the University,, of the State be come the University of the people. THE WAR. Russia has no doubt gained a vic tory at last, and has captured Arda- han. At first the Muscovites were repulsed with heavy slaughter, but they renewed the fight and (succeed ed. Our last dispatches explained the value of the victory, and it is un necessary to recapitulate. The fol lowing is the Russian account, which we have not published before. It is the report of Gen. Melikoff : "The outworks of Ardaban, its fortifi cations, citadel, sixty guns, immense stores of provisions and ammunition, and the camp formerly occupied by four battalions of Turks, lie at the feet of the Czar. On May 17th the admirable nre of our artillery between three and six o clock in the after noon made a breach in the walls. At six o'clock the Erwaa, Tiflis and Baker regi ments and the sappers advanced to the as sault. The enemy could not withstand the onslaught and fled, leaving a great number of their dead. At nine o'clock our troops traversed the whole town and fortifications, the bands playing the National anthem. The troops are full of enthusiasm. Our loss is believed to be 1 officer and 50 sol diers killed, and 4 officers and 180 soldiers wounded. I cannot find sufficient words of praise for the courage and coolness of our young soldiers." Kara is closely invested by the Russians, and sooner or later must fall either by assault or by famine. The Russians have made immense preparations for crossing the Danube, and are reported to have two hun dred and fifty thousand men along the line ready to advance at the given signal. The Czar will be present when the onward movement begins, and will himself give the order. In England the war feeling is rep resented as on the increase, notably in London. The Liberals are bo sen sible of this growing feeling, if not for Turkey, at least for war on be half of England's interests, that Gladstone will make an active cam paign, and will speak in many parts of the Island. On the 30th inst. he begins the anti-Turkey crusade at Birmingham. The war preparations are going on with great activity, and speculation is rife as to who shall com mand the British forces. A London telegram to the Herald says: "The most popular idea is that the Prince of Wales should take the nominal com mand on the German plan, with General Sir Garnett Wolsey as chief of staff, as Von Moltke was to the Kaiser in the i ranco-Prussian war." But we are still of the opinion that England will deliberate long before the awful step is taken that commits her people to the struggle. Her commerce will be destroyed or very greatly damaged, her Indian subjects mav avail themselves of the occasion ! it to rise en masse, and whilst she fights j n front, she may find herself assailed j throughout her possessions in South-: . - , . . I ern Asm; She will discus more ana i wait longer betoro she says "-My voice is for war." THE FRENCH CRISIS. The cable dispatches to the New York Herald, dated Paris, May 19th, are of a character to excite the pro foundest apprehension of a revolu tion or a. coup d'etat which may end in the restoration of either the Legit imist or Orleanist dynasty. The cor respondent telegraphs: "In all the political vicissitudes through which France has passed since 1848, I never recollect to have seen such gloom as now pervades the community, save among the extremists of the Legitimist or Clerical factions. The gloom that succeeded the coup d'etat on the 2d of December, 1851, was not greater. The worst was then known. The great usurpation had been plainly foreshadowed; the materials which made it possible had been gathering in his hands for months, and the use to which he would put them was not doubled." He says further: "The atmosphere seems charged with electrical influences which may develop one knows not what convulsion of the elements. Even those who hope to profit by distur bances seem not altogether tranquil as to results. A tour of the workmen's districts, where the blue blouses swarm like bees, re veals an intense state of excitement. Led habitually by the most extreme Radicals and Socialists, they had of late in great numbers become amenable to mildercoun sels, but the natural effect of MacMahon's reaction has been to throw the workmen back en masse among the most extreme Re publicans. So bad faith breeds distrust and reaction in one direction and reaction in another." We are not prepared as yet to be lieve that the President, Marshal MacMahon, has sold himself to either of the factions that Republicanism may be overthrown. He is not a great man, and he is probably mis led did not himself foresee the full meaning of his own action and what direful consequences might follow his unprovoked and unconstitutional course. He is, as we said, yesterday, a thorough-paced Imperialist, but he is, or has had credit of being, a man of honor. To yield himself a pliant tool in the hands of either the Le gitimists, Orleanists or Bonapartists in order that he might overthrow the very government he has sworn to support and perpetuate, would be an act of treason infinitely greater than that of Arnold. The Herald cor respondent says: Whatever may be the President's per sonal views, doubtless the men at the head of the Cabinet will drive him to acts which will end in revolution, and, probably, in civil war. It is necessary to recollect that we have here a constitutional ruler dis missing his Cabinet, not because the ma jority opposed it in the Chamber, but be cause of the majority sympathizing with and supporting it. In other words, the Marshal has taken issue with the nation un der the most absurd pretence that he alone understands and represents its interests. The constitution of a Ministry thoroughly reactionary renders inevitable, therefore, the following chain of events: The proro gation of the Chambers for a month is to give the new Ministry time to organize, but on the Legislature's reassembling the Min istry will meet an exasperated Chamber and be beaten by overwhelming majorities ou the first measures presented. Then will follow a dissolution and a general election in three months, which will be too short a time for the ministerial agents to control the returns. The next Chamber will con sequently be more republican than the pre sent one and stronger in the support of their indignant constituencies. The faction in power, defeated and humiliated in every contest with the majority, will certainly push the Marshal to a coup d'etat. Every thing will then depend upon the old sol dier's sense of honor and patriotism. I do not believe he wants to play the part of Monck; he certainlv has not the stuff in him to play the part of Cromwell." The French Chambers, let it be mentioned, is divided into four par ties or sections. The Right, or Legitimists; the Right-Centre, or Or leanists; the Left-Centre, or Conserva tive Republicans; and the Left, or Radicals. The Bonapartist faction has a few representatives. M. Simon was of the Left or Republican. They have control of the body. A new election will probably follow, and we have no doubt the Republicans will triumph, although the MacMa hon strength is considerable, and the church party is vigorous, aggressive and numerous, and is thoroughly im perialistic or anti-Republican. We think it more than probable that the speculations of the Herald correspondent are well based, and that everything in the end will de pend upon MacMahon's patriotism and honor, whether Prance shall be given over again to the horrors of revolution, or whether by a master stroke he shall place npon the throne a narrow-brained, self-willed Bour bon. The present-excitement cannot continue long without violent out breaks, and President McMahon will find himself gravitating towards a strong personal government where the military arm and the fixed bayo nets rule the hour and win the vie tory. France mnst be soon pacified, or there will be a row. We invite the attention of the North Carolina press to the exquisite ly beautiful peroration of Judge Ed ward Cautwell's address published in the Stab of yesterday. It is in deed a gem of its sort, and has an unmistakable poetic flavor. The au thor has the literary facility, and with a refined taste and delicate fancy. f i. ., ----i j-i:- r-..'i POLITICAL POINTS.

Ex Presideut Van Buren went to Eng land and was treated simply as a dis tinguished American citizen. The Herald says: "It is understood that the government at Washington will intimate to the English Ministry that ex-President Grant will be expected to receive the honors paid to Louis Napoleon and Louis Philippe. This, however, simply concerns official etiquette. In private circles General Grant will re ceive unbounded hospitality." 1 Tbe University Normal school. The State Board of Education have issued an address to the teachers of the State concerning the establish ment of a Normal Sohool in connec tion with the University for white rualea. The following is the scheme: 1. The school will be open not only to those desiring to become teachers, but to all those now en gaged in teaching. Females are in vited to attend alsow . 2. The session will be during the summer vacation of the University. It will begin on Tuesday, the 3d July next, and will continue for at least six weeks. The school will be held in one or more of the University recitation rooms or laboratories. 3. Normal teaohing being not only a science but an art, it has been de termined to place the conduct of the school in the bands of trained experts men who have for years made nor mal methods a 9tudy, and have had large experience in their practical wormng. Accordingly Professor John I. Ladd, .Superintendent of the public schools of Staunton, Va., and Prof L. H. Owens, formerly Superinten dent of the public schools of Peters burg, Va., now President of the Deshler Female Institute, of Tuscum bia, Ala., have been chosen as two of the Professors of the University normal ocnool. At least one other Professor will be chosen, who will probably be a resident of the'State 4. Regular exercises will be held daily in the following branches ArithmetiCjWritten and mental; anal ysis, grammar, geography, reading, ortnograpny, pnonetics, penmanship instruction will be given practically on scnool discipline, methods, organ ization, qualifications, legal relation of teacher, parent and child. A daily drill in vocal music will be had. In addition to the regular daily exorcises eminent men of this and other States will deliver iectures oc casionally at night for the instruc tion of the students. 5. The trustees and faculty of the University will allow the use of their recitation rooms, laboratories, libra ries, museum, Ssc, and the Professors have, at the request of the Board of Education, agTeed to cordially co operate when desired in furthering the objects of the school. 6. There will be no charge foe tuition. Dormitories in the University build ings will be furnished free, "so that those who bring their own bedding will be at no expense on this account. Table board, not exceeding $10 per month, can be had in private fami lies. Arrangements have been made by which those wishing to mess to gether can live still more cheaply than this. Facilities for cooking will be furnished to those who bring their own provisions and cooking utensils. The railroad companies will grant half fare. Transportation can be had from Durham to Chapel Hill at from fifty cents to one dollar. Rev.Dr.Sears,agent of the Peabody Fund, so highly approves the estab lishment of the school that he has placed at the disposal of the Board $500. The Board adds to this $500 more, making a fund of $1,000, which will be used in defraying the neces sary expenses of regular attendants on the school who are unable to pav, being applied first towards paying their travelling expenses and then to wards the expense of the Board. FEMALES. Although the law requires that the moneys paid by the State shall be de voted to the use of males, yet fe males are cordially invited to attend all the exercises of the school free of charge. All those wishing to become regu lar attendants on the school will send their names to Hon. Kemp P. Battle, at Chapel Hill, on or before the 20th day of J une next. Attendants on the school will please bring the text-books they may have relating to the studies above named. Deficiencies will be supplied by the Beard. The appeal closes as follows: We earnestly appeal to every teacher and every man and woman in the State who desires to teach, to come forward and attend this school. Should it prove successful the Le gislature will no doubt increase the appropriation, and with experience and enlarged means we may well hope to do a great work for North Carolina. Z. B. Vance, Governor and Chairman Board of Education. Kemp P. Battle, President of the University. J. C. Scarborough, Superintendent of Public Instruction and Secretary Board of Education.
