In the last issue of the LexiDgton Gazette appears a long and interesting article on Washington College, from which we extract the following refer ence to a new and striking feature, proposed to be embraced in the scope and purpose of that institution. The writer says : . That feature of expansive liberality most attractive and striking to an editor is the proposal to appoint to scholarship and tho college a certain number of young men who propose to make journalism their profession. This is the first distinct recognition ever made by the so called Centres of Wisdom of the true dignity and importance of the public press; and shows a wish to aid in its elevation by the education of those who arc to serve in its ranks. It accepts it f.s a coadjutor in public instruction , and frat ernizes with those who perform its functions as ministers at the altar of knowledge. Good. Our friends Messrs. Northrop & Gumming have placed us under obligations by bountiful donations of the fragrant and solacing " Durham."

The first regatta since the war was sailed on Wrightsville Sound Thursday. A beau tiful day greeted the many parties of la dies and gentlemen in attendance, and a fair wind gladdened the hearts of the con testants. Messrs. T. M. Gardner, F. J. Lord and R. H. Grant were chosen judges and the following boats were entered : boat. owners. Teazer, II. Burkhimer, Vina, C. C. Morse, No Name, A. B. Burr, Retta, F. A. L. Cassidey, length. 15 feet. 15-4 " 17 19-10 The judges started the Teazer at 4:10, the Vina 1 minute and 20 seconds later, No Name 40 seconds after the Vina and the Retta 50 seconds after the No Name. The boats sailed up Motts channel round a buoy and then down atrain. then down whe sound to a stake boat near Masonboro luVfct then back aroVid the stake boat again and up to the starlog point on the sound, making a seven 4nilesrun, and thoroughly testing the sail ing qVities of the yachts, as they were given I taste of all varieties ot wind. They passedthe stake boat at the starting point on the cond run in the following order , "Teazer No name, "Retta" and the "Vina." At thh' point the "Reta" got aground causing a delay ot about a minute. After getting into deep water it was discovered that shi had broken the jaws of her gaff, and theMbre withdrew. The "Vina" soon got tired nd returned, leaving the race be tween the Teazer" and the yacht with no name. The "Teazer" came in winner at 5:47 p. m. beating the no name by 4 minutes, and 28 secoods, and making the run in 1 hour and 37 minutes. The affair was a grand success, and we now look for many more mch friendly con tests. The very best of good humor pre vailed and all went well. Capt. Burkhi mer, who sailed the Teazer, seemed to take his success as a matter of course and received the . congratulations of his friends with a nonchalance as though he " was used to this sort of thing you know." We hear of new matches being gotten up and if they only come off may we be there to see. The National Temperance Convention called to organize a third political party on temperance principles, met at Chicago Wed nesday. About two hundred delegates were present.

Willis, Wilmington, N. C. LETTERS FKOJI THE PEOPLE.I letter no. 7. Education Smitiiyille, Sept. 2, 1869. Mn. Editor:-At the close of the war iptclligent men at once saw the necessity of inaugurating a thorough system of educa tion for the South, to enable it successfully to compete with the growing intelligence and enterprise of the North. The South had hitherto neglected this duty. The ig norant masses had always been the pliant tools of the large planters and landowners, hiit tbp.v obtained an education for their own children at the Nqrtb, generally, in place of building up schools and colleges at the South. To reuiedythdse evils it has been the constant aim and untiring pursuit of such men as General Howard to develope the moral and intellectual capacity and found a new element; f of power in the people and to seek loyalty in the masses where it was wanting in their leaders, by laying the foundation of instruction in a complete system of common schools, as at the North. The much abused Frccdman's Bureau, of which Gen. Howard is chief, with other intelligent philanthropists and statesmen, gave their unqualified and earn est support, and constant attention and la bor to the cause, for with fargeeing sagacity thuyjat once saw that the entire salvation of the 'new Mft'Mi'VWnKcV'ffieclasses in the South, for they perceived that igno rance might suit a state of slavery, but never a! state of liberty. War filled up the valleys and pulled dowti the mountains, and graded the track for a new christian civili zation that an enlightened education might penetrate the remotest and secluded pine forests of the Soutli, and drain the unex plored marshes of popular ignorance, and dispel forever the illusions and prejudices of a bygone age. 1 The want of education was lfelt and seen to have been the promoting cause which ultimately resulted in the dis astrous effects witnessed by the rebellion. The same reasons that actuated these men also governed the old hostile element at! the South to oppose education in its practical operation and general diffusion, for they saw that the last shred and vestage of their power and former- supremacy would be forever swept away, which result is now being consummated, because they abtised the trust reposed in them by the people by ueglecting education and schools for the people when they had the power, and their former influence will never be regained, for t'hie .people can nowj see the selfishness of their policy. It is therefore with gratifica tion and pride that we look for the regene ration and advancement of the new South, and an elevation in every I additional school house that is planted, as if a fresh battery were placed in position, no longer with the object ofdestroying ihen's lives and property, but by moral force reclaim and build ' up what has been secured and purchased at so much sacrifice of life through the agency of war, that good wheat may once more be planted and grown in peace, and bring forth ruits in abundance for the happiness and prosperity of all. With but a few honora ble exceptions the people of the South have taken no special interest or concern in this important enterprise, and the entire credit of: this great undertaking; j. e. educating an entire people has been commenced, carried on and thoroughly organized to an unprece dented extent by the public spirit and pri vate expenses of the people of the North, amongst whom the American Tract Society, as representing the Churches, has done a noble and imperishable work; and at some future day when prejudice and hostility shall have subsided from the minds of her people, the South, will acknowledge and appreciate the work which the Recon structed State Governments have now taken in hand to furnish and superintend. No one in this State is better qalified and fitted by an extensive experience and thor ough education than Rev. S. S. Ashley, pur present State Superintendent, who like most benefactors of their, race, has been the sub ject of constant abuse and calumny ; but the children of those who killed the Prophets, were the ones to build their altars, so will an after generation honor the names ! of such men, whose future monuments thev GOOD i w have themselves, laid in the enduring grati-1 tude and love of the children who are now growing up, ,and whose names they will cherish and revere as Fathers and Saviours to the country. But my object in writing at this time, is to notice the opening of the new school house previously referred to in the Post, at this place, and just erected through the active exertions of Sena tor E. Legg, who obtained an appropria tion of $500 from government of unexpend ed funds left in the hands ot the Freed- mens Bureau and appropriated by Gen l. Howard for educational purposes at the Southland with the valuable assistance ren dered by the colored people themselves, in performing the necessary labor gratis which equalled an additional amount of $200 which shows their appreciation of what is being done for them. In this way it is al ways a pleasure to help those who show such a determination to help themselves. They are now subscribing money among themselves and friends to purchase a large steel bell to complete the edifice, for which the money has already been secured and the order sent off to have it funded, which, with every thing complete, will cost deliv? ered about $39. The dimensions of the building are 24 X 35 feet, and will seat one hundred and ten scholars. The school was formally opened on the 28th ultimo, by dedication services consisting of singiiig, and addresses on the subject of education, by Senator E. Legg, Mr..Soloman C. Smith, Anthony Davis, L. A. Galloway, Wm. Brown. John Davis and others. If the colored people of Smithville will but show an equal determination to help them selves now they have the chance, to become educated, they will do themselves and this communitv credit, for they will be more valuable and better citizens with an educa tion than without one, and, no colored or white man, who is indifferent to the educa tion of his children, is worthy of the honor ed name of father. Differing as I do with many people of the South on this subject, experience has proved it ; and considering the end and detiny of man, with an immor tal soul, it becomes a sacred and solemn ob ligation of parents and others to advance and elevate their fellow-beings far above the mere brutes which perish, and help to prepare and educate him for a higher, a nobler and better state of existence. There tore all good men should assist and en courage on this good work and they will not lose their reward. The colored people of Smithville have m way of becoming useful, intelligent, honest and industrious citizens with the same means and opportunities as the white people. Quietness and good feeling generally per vades this community. J. T. S., U. S. A.
