.. '. V S ( ' ' ' ' - - - - v. . JORDAN STONE, Managing Editor. SAM'L T. WILLIAMS, Political Editor. TUESDAY. .JANUARY 7, 1S73 THE DECLINE OF EDUCATION TnE LOVEJOY ACADEMY. Recognizing the responsibility resting upon the public 'press of North Caroli na, to do all in its p wcr to arrest the downward tendency of the cause of education iu oV.r m'ulst, we-Uel it our duty to make Jrcquent allusion to the elucational interests of the State. In another editorial in this issue, we have referred to the prostrate condition of the University as one cf the reasons why the "St ate is retrograding in these great interests: but there ale other causes which have contributed to the decline of education and the dormant feeling on the subject of mental progress which 6eems to prevail throughout North Carolina. The general dcmorali zhtion produced by the war and its re sults, the almost universal impoverish- j ment of our people by the issue of the smuggle, the excitement and confusion id the public mind in -the process of reconstruction, the eagerness and zeal to repair the fortunes which disappeared amid the chaos and disasters or a four " years revolution, the, insane desire for acquiring riches which has teiztd so v many of our population, the wauj, of r.omnetent and skillful instructors m many sections these and various other influences have operated to retard the progress of learning, and to cause to be neglected the education of many of the young men of North Carolina. We have been frequently teld by " intelligent men who have travelled over different sections of the State, within the last twelve months, that they have been struck with the fact that ignorance is greatly on the increase among the present generation, and that lor the want of suitable institutions and competent leachers, many counties are in a deplorable condition. This.iaasad and melancholy reflec tion, bat there can be no doubt of the truth of the statement that North Car olina is to-day, so far as the education of her sons and daughters is concerned, worse off than she has ever been. Take, for instance the city of Raleigh. Here we have the old Raleigh cr Love joy Academy, built many years ago by an association of citizens. Upon the death tf William Peace, Esq., the last trustee, the property escheated to th State, by whose agents it ha. since been rented for school purposes. It is a ven erable and well known Academy,and at one time before the warenjoyed a decree of success and influence second to no similar institutkurin the State. Many of the first mmda in North Carolina ot the present day received there a portion of their early training and preparation.- But the disasters of the war blighted its prosperity and it fell a victim' in the general wreck. At present it is rented out to two very worthy gentlemen one of whom.Mr. Lovejoy, is the distinguish ed preceptor who long presided over it during its prosperous days, and after whom it is named. But in its present condition and arrangements, the Acade my ia not filling the measure of its use fulness. The trifling rent received by the State is but a grain of . sand, and the small number of students that have attended it since the close of the wan will not justify the hope that its pat ronage in the fumre will be commensu rate with its merits or creditable to the city of Raleigh.V Nor will it answer -the needs of the present period to restore the Academy as it was. Then what must be done with it? We suggest that it be enlarged ; that practical lessons in every day pursuit be taught, with modern languages in connection with the classics, and that a normal system be attached for the ed ucation of teachers for the other schools of the State. We believe such an in stitution would meet with an abundant success In order to carry out: this idea, we suggest farther that a number of our best and most responsible citizens in this city, apply to the Legislature for a grant from the State for the use of the Academy grounds for this purpose, AnmHitinn.rl 1 . 1 A 1. il .1,1 U 1 tuuuiuuucii oa auuvc, Willi W1U DromiSC ...... 1 inai new anu commouious buik ins . , , , . , . uwl""o0 be erected and supplied with ample .... l nu,P'e ww&MMAwuMukr uu.i ouiiuuiu n I lift . v ' p raiua. In a purely business "point of view, such an investment would soon repay the capitalists and add much to the trade and prosperity of Raleigh. But aside from the advantages to be reaped by our city from the results ot a large and flourishing institution of learning in her borders, It would be a real bene fit to the whole State, in preparing suit able and skillful instructors -a class of gentlemen now sadly needed in several counties we could name. IWe were informed two or three days ago, by a gentleman of this city, him self a well-known educator that he is in constant receipt of letters, from anxious parents, mostly from the Western counties, asking him to send school teachers, but that he has been unable to supply the want. : lie has endeavored to prevail on several of his youog. friends J9 devote their time to teaching, bui has not been successful in a single instance. -') Will not some enterprising, moneyed man of thai city, take hold of the sug- gestions in this" article in relation to the Lovejoy Academy, ,and give them practical shape by enlisting the co operation of others, to prevail on. the Legislature to grant them the grounds for the purposts specified 1 "We think the plan a feasible one, and wiil redound to the interests of Raleigh as well as to the cause of education in North Carolina. THE DECLINE OF EDUCATION -WHO WILL REVIVE THE UNI VERSITY ? It is .a startling fact that the cause ot education rapidly declining in North Carolina. This can be proved incontcstably, and has its origin in various causes. Among the chief. of these causes, the destruc tion of he State University will at once oceir to the mind -of the reader. It cannot lc denied that that institu tion, while it existed, was a powerful stimulus to the youths of the State, to urge them forward on the road to learn ing and mental iniprovement. But our noble University is in the dust ! Its spacious buildings are fall ing rapidly to ruin and decay. The great solar light in our educational firm ament has thus been extinguished, and the young men of North Carolina are either groping in the darkness of ignor ance, or are forced to go beyond the limits of the State, to receive that in- ruction from other Universities which should be imparted at home. We mean no reflection upon our other State colleges Wnke Forest, Trinity and Davidson when we say that neither of them has as jet supplied the vacancy occasioned by the demise of Chapel Hill. These three flourishing and excel lent institutions, with able faculties and extensive curriculum, are moving on in the same orbits in which they revolved before the war ; and, as compared to. the University in its palmy days,may be regarded as bright stars in that system of which the University was the sun We do not undertake to;say that Wake Forest, Trinity and Davidson, may not some day reach to the full power and effulgence of Chapel Hill,.in the noon tide of its prosperity, but we do not presume, of course, either ot the three Colleges named now claims such a dis tinction. The University is down ! down ! downl and all efforts to resuscitate it have proved abortive. No practical scheme has yet been devised looking to its'rchabilitation. One of the chief diffi culties in the way is the jealousy pre vailing among the different religic denominations. Some persons fear that if any change is made in the piesent management, the institution might fall j into the hand3 of the Baptists ; others j that it might fall into the hanis J Qf the Presbyterians ; and others I stilf. that it miht fall into the j hands of the Methodists or Episcopa J Uans. Hence, all propositions to revive it have met with obstacles from some quarterorothcr, so that the prospect for improvement in its condition is no better than it was four years ago. . The first difficulty to be overcome is the removal of politics out of the con sideration of the question. It does not suit our purpose to inquire now, by whom the University was brought low, or to reproach those who were instru mental in its destruction. It is enough to know that under its present regime it is a failure, and there is no earthly promise that it will shortly improve, as now managed. Therefore, a change is demanded, aud those who may succeed in bringing about such a change as will lift the University from thetdust,and set it again on the road.to favor and prosperity, will deserve well of the State and of the friends of education throughout the whole country. Let the sun be restored to his place in the educational system, and the sons of North Carolina will again bask in the light ot his beneficent splendor ! THE EARLY BAR RINGER CON- TROVJERSY. We published in substance General Early's letter in answer to General flood's speech at Raleigh. We subse- quentlv published Gen. Ilufus Barrin- ger's reply to Gen. Early, correcting annrnl fiprn m t rt linn 1. ' .1 I t . , I did nrvt. rnlilili flon V.arltr'a n.!.iinr1ur j- i ,1 .1 4 , . 1 ucausc vt; utii iiul- uccm iiiu Biuteuieills ,'; v, .i , . material to the issue as it contained r . .i .t , , , no new facts other than had already been I 1 . . i , . . substantially given, and was besides too lengthy for our columns. Uovvevtr mis latter objection would not have weighed with us if we had deemed the ends of justice or the truth of history would have been vindicated by its pub lication. Gen. Early's letter contained some very severe reflections upon the conduct o.f deserters "who have gone over to the enemy since the war,'' and this Gen. Barringer construes into a personal and political attack on those Confeder ute officers who, like himself, Gen. Longstrcet, Gen. Wickham, Col. Mos by and others, have gone over to the Republicans. Whereupon, Gen. Bar ringer publishes a second letter, which we find in the Charlotte Observer ot the 4th inst., in which he pitches into Jubal A. with gloves off, and criticizes with great severity the military conduct of the distinguished Virginian, as welt as his subsequentiito Mexico, leaving his unhappy comrades and cuuntrymen to meet, as best they could, the untried and untold horrors of subjugation." . We regret that this controversy, winch was started With the view of eliciting historical-lactshas descended into gross personalities and unkind flings. It has been one of the main ob jects of our paper to steer clear ot per sonal i lies as much as possible, and we have therefore frequently rejected com munications that were calculated, if not iutended, to n fleet upon the characters ol individuals. We know the difiiculty of our position, and that in refusing to gratify the public appetite for disputa tion,, we are liable to give offense - to nnr r-nripennnrlpnts? Yet we prefer to --- L be censured on this score rather than prostitute our columns to scurrility and vituperation. Having refused to publish Gen. Ear ly's seeond letter, we must likewise de cline to publish Gen. Iiarringer's "reply thereto, because we do not believe the publication of either will subserve the ends of historic truth or beneiit the public. - The truth ot history cannot be vindi cated through personal defamation and rebuke, and if a controversy, which we were desirous would- lead to valuable information concerning the events ot the war, ends in nothing more honora ble and useful than a war of words and bitterness between two cx-Coniederate Generals, it were better such a contro versy had never ariscm 1 STOKES CONVICTED OF MUR DER. It will be seen from our Sunday night dispatches, that the second trial ot Stokes in New York for the murder of James Fisk, Jr., has resulted in his conviction of murder in the first degree. As customary in such cases, we expect of course that an appeal will be taken to the Supreme Court. We do not rejoice at the conviction of Stokes, but at the same time we must express bur gratification at the vindica tion of the law and the triumph of right and justice. For the character of Fisk, we have a a supreme contempt, and regarded his death as a benefit to the community We believe that he was corrupt, unscru pulous and utterly depraved 'and his example upon the young of New York and of the whole country highly perni cious. For all that, we believe his mur derer ousrht to be punished: for, even if the character ot the slain were a mitigation of the offense ot his murder and the deed itself a blessing to the community, surely the slayer cannot in this case claim any motives of humanity,as personal hatred and revenge were the only incentives to the critic. Stokes, in point of moral character, is very little if any better than was Fisk, and the world will not be much worse off by the loss of both. The acquittals of criminals in New York, especially in capital cases, have become so common , in the past few years, that crime has terribly increased there and the law openly defied and laughed to ecorn. MORE TROUBLE IN NEW OR LEANS. From the tenor of our dispatches, we fear the trouble in Louisiana is not yet over. A committee of two hundred citizens in New Orleans have held a meeting, passed resolutions, and adopted an ad dress to the people ot the State, which will be found in our telegraphic col umns. This address gives the substance of the interview with President Grant and the action of the delegation sent on in December to Washington, with the view of suggesting a plan of settle ment of the troubles that would give general satisfaction. It will be seen that the address, while it counsels obedience to theordeis of the President and a submission to the pre sent situation, regards the government of Pinchback as a farce, and as relying entirely for support on the will of the President. The committee look to Con gress for relief, aud express strong hopes that that body, after hearing a full statement of all the facts and eircum stances ot' the case, will decide. properly ami impartially. in the meantime, Pinchback has issued nn order, threatening to disperse tl,e Conservative Legislature, which h is Correspondence of the Dally News The Holidays in the Asheville Sec tion, aud Other Tilings. Asheville, Jan. 3, 1873. Christmas morning found Asheville literally encased in ice externally. Na tu re presented an attractive aspect in the mystic, transparent robe the branches ot the leafless trees standin forth in bold individuality, ..while the loyely evergreens, .which had withstood so many blasts, bowed down with their crystal burdens. The streets afforded a surface firm enough lor skating, but for their endulating nature. Within doors the town presented all the warmth of the merry-making season. The presence of Santa Ciaus, dispensing his lavish stores, filled little hearts brim full of ecstatic delight, causing older ones to lilt their souls in fervent thanks giving lor the glorious gilt the season' is intended to commemorate. The annual Sunday School Christmas Trees awakened the usual interest. The pne in the Presbyterian Church on Christmas-eve, a holly, with red berries, well lighted and hung with gifts, was very " beautiful. The introductory prayer by the pastor, his and another minister's suggestive remarks on the analogy of this tree to the Tree of Life, &c and the anthems sung, all contri buted to the interest of the occasion. The trees of the other churches were lighted on Christmas evening. Among the other diversions of the holidays were two evenings of charades and tableaux for the benefit of the poor ; a masonic supper and address New Year's morning dawned soft and balmy, gree ted by the coming notes of spring warbles. Our aristocratic little town. bidding adieu to the departing year, as sue glances alone: the corridors ot the past, sees, marshaled belore " her, an array of good and great, her sons and citizens who have claimed her as their home. The sacred dust of some rest here ; others Were bound "by the struggling moon beams misty light" on the heights of GettysburyJ and ot her hal lowed battle fields, while to others earth gave no grave. With what unutterable tenderness she recalls their heroic share in our glorious struggle. O! can she ever cease to cherish their memory, or speak h:ghly of tlieir deeds ! Nestling so lovingly among the mountains, in her picturesque beauty, she has sent forth her orators and states men, who have stood, and do stand, watchmen on the walls of their country firm and true. As year after year she sees her sons and daughters go from her excellent preparatory schools to the best Literary Institutions of her own and sister State, winning their highest lion ors, and thence stepping upon the great theatre of life to rill the positions of high trust, with acknowledged success, her heart swells with maternal pride, as she recognize their native worth. The future holds much for Asheville the charming summer resort the 'Queen city ot W, N. C." when trav eling facilities are completed, and the immense resources of her section arc developed. j Vei.ta.
