These scoundrels V VOL. XVII. I makes them worse because they are more ingenious' in their deviltry by reason of the educated brain. : We now turn to a point--of very great interest. It is that : the most dangerous enemies to society and to government are not jthe wholly igno rant, but the educated monsters and their more or less educated but Badly deluded followers. ! We now fall back on the Spectator, which ranks among the ablest of; all British news papers. It says: I j " vi VUptoaverv recent neriod. all advo cates for popular education were firmly convinced that it would be in itself a strong guarantee ror social order. Tney spoke of Ignorance as a blind giant, who one day would pull down the columns of the social fabric and never tired jof denouncing those who said that education; though good in itself, would increase:! and not decrease. social discontent. The American educa tionists were unanimous unon this noint. and used to repeat! everywhere , a story about the people of i Rhode Island being frightened into an education law by an at- iatK uu property. . seemeu jo oe so .true, too.

As the nations become more educated discontent increases and dangers multiply. It is o in every country in the world unless Scotland is an .Li - - exception. It - really seems that education serves to unloose slumber ing passions and Lj stir np wild and dangerous purposes.! Blind, igno rant,' they plodded along satisfied and happy to a great extent, like the Southern blacks, the happiest race in all the world. 1 But the key of knowledge was applied, and so far from' increasing the happiness and deepening the contentment the lesson of the world ! is that it has turned loose new and violent forces that ex press themselves lin murder, in dyna mite explosions! in destruction, of property, in a consuming restleness and discontent.-! . ' r In Prussia, in (Russia, in France, in England, even in this country the educated destructives are at their hellish work. The Spectator says there is no cure; rfor such things in education that the Anarchists for the most part "are even exceptionally well taught.'l . fhe conclusion of the matter is thus stated by the Specta-tor.'- ; l j "Education f will give us much in the end, we hope and believe; but the old en thusiastic hopes from it were, as regards the time of their fruition, evidently illusory. It is no more a panacea than any other, and the good it does is as slow to develop., itself as the good that rain does.'' The only j safety is in the Bible. Make men religious and there will be no Anarchists and Nihilists. Make pure the; heart and all crimes will disaDpear. To each children how to read, write andl cipher and not to teach them the jwhole duty of life the great doctrines of the Godhead, redemption, man's responsibility and a future state of i rewards and punish ments is to put hre to a magazine of powder;! is to add strength and cunning to a nature already depraved and lost. The iBible is the only sal vation for the individual sinner, and the only guarantee of safety to all nations. Educate the mind and be sure to educate jthe heart, to disci p line the moral nature.

There are few Bishops among American Episcopalians who deserve to rank with Bishop Littlejohn aa a writer and thinker. He deserves . to stand high for mental power and ac complishments and he is very; well thought of in England. His pub- ished works exhibit marked ability. He has just been addressing the twentieth. Annual Convention of the Diocese of Long Island, and his re marks were received ; with v applause. We refer to it because of. the i views he expresses on the subject of educa tional work. - He made a very power ful appeal for religious education, Like all wise, reflecting men he seesa that the American system in the public an well as in the high schools and colleges is defective. He sees' that a moral education must keep oven, pace with . mental oduca- twiir'Wemust make' room for a somewhat long extract, because such a learned, able, eminent ecclesiastic has a right to speak on a subject with which he is so familiar. .Bishop Littlejohn says: .' " "It is admitted Ihtct intellectual., apart from religious, training is a dangerous thing; that in our popular metnous, unaer Diaie control, there is not only no effort to com bine them, but rather a pronounced and recognized intention to separate them. Among all thoughtful people there is no question that civil government and social order, if they are to be beneficent and en during, must rest upon conscience as well as intelligence; upon a disciplined sense of right and wrong as well as upon a trained faculty of acquiring and using knowledge, and, further, that the morality of the peo ple cannot be vital and healthy unless its roots are planted in the soil of religion " Again he says, and his remarks are commended to the thoughtful: , "Religion cannot grow unless it be in telligent, and intelligence cannot be a safe guide unless it be religious. The same God is the source of-both. It is beyond dis pute that the current in our higher, and in our lower education as well, is drifting away from the Church's historic faith, and if from this, then equally irom tne etnics founded unon that faith. Our leading edu cational' centres are beginning to throw off all restraint or disguise in their admissions on this point. With increasing frankness and assurance they tell us that it is no part of their business to teach, in any form or way, the positive truths of Christianity. They have not progressed far. enough in their favorite line to treat Christianity with disrespect.- Thev still imply, rather than to say, that so venerable a pretence should be allowed what room it needs. Tney nave no objection to handling the faiths of the past as anatomists handle dead bodies, hut for the faith that is alive they make no'provi- sion and repudiate all obligation."

One of the Signal Service officers at the station in this city went over a part of the line of the coast telegraph extending from Wilmington to Fort Macon, on Friday last, and found not only the wire down in seve ral places, but a quantity of it taken away, and some of the wire that had not bern carried off dragged jnto the woods and twisted around trees, the iron poles bent and the wooden ones cut down. The offi cer cleared the load of the obstruction as far as he went. The line had not been in working order between this station and Foit Macon for three or four weeks. It is impossible to have it repaired now, as the appropriations for the purpose have been exhausted. ai f Escaped Convict Cangbt. . Officers K Carr and C; EL.

C. The new Catholic church at Florence, S. O, will be dedicated on Sunday next, and we learn that a number of persons from this city will attend. The Catholic con gregation in Florence is said to be a flour ishing one, numbering nearly one hundred. with a Sunday school of over t wenty chil dren. The church is a handsome Gothic structure. Very liberal contributions to wards Jts erection were made by persons outside of Florence. A lady at the'North, whose name is not known, contributed the vestments, the chalice, theciborium for the Communion, and also a fine statue of St. Anthony, of Padua, after whom the church is named. The altar was presented by Mr. Chas, Moony, 'of . Darlington, and Capt. Divine, of the Atlantic Coast- Line, con tributed a bell for the lower, besides ma king a liberal donation in money to the fund for the erection of the church. Tbe Carolina Central. The' recent heavy rains in the up-coun try caused but little damage to the Carolina Central Railroad. Six miles east of Shelby there was a wash out, but it was speedily repaired and did not delay trains. Yester day morning' the .Pee Dee - river waa very j threatening, the water being within five feet of the Sherman freshet, but the high water began to subside at 11 o'clock. The Carolina Central is the only road now run ning into Charlotte without interruption, travel being impeded on all the other roads centering there. It will tike some days to repair tbe damage on the Air Line and Richmond & Danville roads. An entire span of the bridge Oyer the Catawba river on the North Carolina road was completely swept away. Passengers from tbe South arriving in Charlotte over the Richmond & Danville road are now taken by the Carolina Central, Raleigh & Augusta and Raleigh & Gaston roads to Weldon, at which point they strike the Atlantic Coast Line for the North. Hoc Cbolera. Sheriff Taylor, of Brunswick county. says, concerning this complaint, prevailing in many sections: "There is nothing that I have ever tried that will cure after hogs take the disease; but there is a preventive. Tar, grease and sulphur mixed together and applied to the nogs every three or lour weeks, will pre vent any disease. Give them sulphur and copperas in meal and water or slops, while raising them, occasionally, will keep hogs clear of worms, and cause them to thrive. Put spirits of turpentine on the corn fed to them every two weeks; apply tar, grease and sulphur on one side of an ear of corn and let the hogs eat it; it is good for them. If persons raising hogs will apply all the above preventives regularly, from tbe time tbey are pigs, we will hear no more complaint about bog cholera." From Smltbvllle. Rev. W. A. Forbes came up from Smithville yesterday, on his return to Mag nolia. He says that the religious interest awakened in Smithville has spread through out tbe community, and the meetings are still going on with increased fervor. There have been about seventy-five conversions, and among tbe number many leading citi zens of the place. The "meetings have been conducted by the Rev. Mr. McFar land, assisted by . Rev. Mr. Forbes, Rev. Mr. Loving and Rev . Mr. Ferguson. . of the M. E. Church, and Rev. Mr. Cohen, of the Baptist Church in Smithville. A Habeas Corpus Case. Proceedings under a writ of habeas cor pus were taken yesterday for the release of Mr. Wm. Garl Brown, the portrait painter. of Baltimore, Md., who had been in the custody of Sheriff Manning for two or three days on an order of arrest issued from the Super jor Court of Orange county, at the instance of John Miller, of Hills- boro, for a claim amounting ; to $1,800, The case was heard by Judge Meares, yesterday afternoon at the Court House. His Honor after hearing argument of coun sel ordered the release of the prisoner, on the ground that the "order of arrest was defective, in that it did not specify time and place for the return thereof." - Co! A. M. Waddell appeared as counsel for Mr. Brown, and the plaintiff was represented by Col.B. R. Moore, who appealed from the de. clsion of His Honor to the Supreme Court.1 Sbarp Work. j:".; : -':t John Page, a colored fellow from War saw, was caught stealing tools belonging to workmen employed on the new building at the W. & W.
