The fir. t number of an ably conducted Monthly, edited by Nuttm M i: r km i a 1. 1., of Jamestown, N. C, and devoted to the subjeat of Common Schools, and the cause of Education k general, lies on our table. The great value of such a work to the com munity, and the low price, at which it is wondering I supplied to subscribers, commend it to sn extensive patronage. If its general circula tion cannot be effeefed in any other way, should he formed, and measures adopted to introduce it into every family in the country. It is only rim cents a year, paid in advance. As s matter of the deepest interest to eve ry reader, we insert the following from the work itself: PROSPECTUS, &c. We pmpose to publish monthly a paper of the sine and form of this sheet cntiUcd the Common School Advocate. Ita object will be to diffuse information on tbe subject of education, with the especial view of im- ipieinr Ka MOfAV if Altr i lVTl nifin S ) , M I ! i rraientc u.rei- , jt junj to -ive an account, drawn ! . i : . or intemperance, froul pubhc documents and other sour bicb Will be , cvs, x,f the origin and progress of our Com mon .School system, to compare it with that of other States here and in Europe, thus noting our improvement over former years and luagialing the means of overcoming tbe defects and difficulties under which we still labor. This will lead us to investigate the sources from which School funds are derived, the modes of spplicatioo, the pres ervation of order in school, the selection of proper books for study, the recreation suit able for the pupils, the treatment necessary for different dispositions, Ac. And believing that the State which would improve ita schools must first improve its Teachers, k portion of oar columns will be devoted to the questions I low are oar schools ao be supplied with competent Teachers? How it the standard of education to be raised, aad the aervicoa of a band secured who are qualified to go forth, and in tbe spirit of love, labor for the advancement of the children who are placed under their charge? Bat Edueatioa ia a word of very exten sive meaning, and although the primary ob- MHrt of the publication may fluently take v w as venting the one and strengthening the other which can be brought to operate upon it. That this is a theme of the deepest moment none can deny. It grasps the interests not of this world only it reaches though eter nity. We shall not hesitate then, as occa siou may demand, to enter the family circle, to place ourselves on the streets or mingle in the busy crowd, snd there set forth the rules of life snd principles of conduct which we beluve will promote the gtod of our race here and redound to their everlasting welfare in the life which is to come. Is it indeed true, that the tree is inclined as the is bent, snd that the tender and impressible minds of children may recieve a bias determination their future and eternal condition!' How important then that every well-wisher of his race should diligently seek for light on a subject so momentous, and that all reasonable care should be taken that tbe beings now young and inexperienced, whose little barks, richly laden, have been launched on so dangerous a sea, may safely enter the heaven of rest. 'Is not the life more than meat and the body than raiment?" Shall all our energies be swallowed up in pursuit of the perishable trash of this world while every germ of a nobler life is stifled? Shall more pains be taken to deck ourselves in gay clothing than to learn the physical laws and by obeying them to ensure to ourselves and our posteri ty healthy bodies and sound minds? Who of us all has not suffered untold injuries, bodily and mental, from the mismanagement of our schools, from deficient or excessive ex ercise, from improper diet, from extravagant dress from yielding to the dictates of igno rance audits twin sister vanity? Henry IV of France desired to place a ca pon on the table of every peasant in bis kingdom a Sabbath dinner for the family. A wish truly benevolent. But far higher the aim of him who labors that every man, woman, and especially that every child may be placed in tbe way of receiving solid in struction, that the influences by which they are surrounded may constantly become bet ter and more operative, so that their paths illuminated by the light of science and re bgion ma v grow brighter, all converging in th throne of the Eternal.

I then inquired of her where this happened. Instead of answering me, she exclaimed: "Oh, if I only get hold! Oh, if I only had got hold of him!" Mrs. Howard, up to the time of Mr. Scott being called, had held up her head and maintained a great degree of composure; but as he proeeeded with his evidence, she lost command of her countenance, was much moved, and finally sunk down quite overcome.

After the passengers had retired to their berths, the following dialogue en sued in the ladies cabin, the door of which was left partly open to promote the cireula tion of the air. A rheumatic old lady and an asthmatic old lady could not each be satisfied with re r . i t rwi i ierence to the aoor. ihey Kept singing out in alternate strains from their night caps. " Chambermaid, shut the door! I shall surely die." The asthmatic would shout "Chambermaid, open the door! I shall surely die." So the contention went on for some time, and the yellow maid with a bandana hand kerchief on her head, fairly frustrated. At last, an old gentleman disturbed by the altercation, and willing to show no partiality, sung out from his own berth 44 Chambermaid, for Heaven s sake open that door and kill one of those ladies, and then shut the door and kill t other.

In the course of the trial of Mrs. Howard in Cincinnati, for the murder of a woman who was living as a wife with her husband, (of which charge she was acquitted on the ground of insanity,) the following testimony was given by Mr. Scott, who met Mrs. Howard on the night of the murder, as she was com ing from the boarding house where the mur der bad been committed. I thonght there was something unusual with her at the time, though she looked like a person enraged. Her manner was hurried and wild. As she approached me, she looked me directly in the face, and asked this question: 44 Mr. Scott, do you think I i . M s w v in T . can make anything on or Howard: it oc- curred to me. that Howard had met and abused her. I answered: 44 No, why do . . ota mi l t you ask the questionr men looking down, I discovered her nst was bloody. On this she raised her cloak, exposing her right arm; in her hand a butcher knife, all covered with plood exclaiming: 44There is the heart s blood, of the wretch who has been iving with him and keeping me from my chidren. I said to her: "My doar madam, what have you been doing have you been killing somebody?" She said, "Yes! I went down thare and have murdered . A National Bank. The federal candi date for Governor in Tennessee, in a late speech on the stump, declared that a United States Bank and Protective Tariff were "leading measures of the Whig party," and added "they are not dead they only slum ber and the day will soon arrive when they will be resurrected. If I had the pow- er, l would charter a United States Bank. It is the first desire of the Whig party that a bank should be established to regu late the currency, and make every citizen prosperous and happy. I am sorry that it was ever broken up. 1'at and the Alphabet. Prof. Goodrich, in this amusing publication tor the young, the Museum and playmate, relates the fol lowing, said to have occured in a private school: "Ah Pat! Pat!" exclaimed the school mistress to a very thick-headed urchin, into whose brain she was attempting to beat the alphabet, liTm afraid you'll never learn anything. Now, what's that letter, eh?" ,4Sure I don t know, ma am, replies Pat. 44 1 thought you recollected that," " Why ma'am?" "Because it has- a dot over the top of it." "Och ma'am, I mind it well, but sure I tho't it was a Jly speck." 44 Well, now remember, Pat, it is I." "You, ma'am?" "No, no, not U, but L" "Not I, but youj ma'am how's that?" "Not I, but you, blockiead." "O, yis, faith, now I have it, ma'am. You mean to say that not I but yon, are a blockhead!" My countenance expressed horror, which she seemed to notice with surprise, saying to : " Do you blame me for it? Would it w ill rr i have been better l snoum nave sunerea, or that I should have taken revenge as I have?" I replied: 44 My dear madam, I can't judge. This is a terrible affair." "Oh!" said she, you ought to have seen her! How polite she was she came mincing into the room, and I said to her, "are yon Mrs. Howard?" she answered me imitating the manner of THE RIGHT SPRING. A lady brought a child to a physician in Utica, to consult about its precarious health. Among other things she inquired if he did not think the springs would be useful ? "Cer tainly, madam," replied the doctor, as he eyed the child and then took a pinch of snuff. "1 havn't the least hesitation in re commending the springs, and the sooner you apply the remedy the better., "You really think it would be good for the dear little thing, don't you ?" 4 'Upon my work it is the best remedy know of." "What springs would you recommend doctor?" "Any will do, madam, where you can get plenty .of soap and water ! A YANKEE PREACHER ON PREDESTINATION. Let us for argument's sake, say that I, the Rev. Elder Sprightly, am fore-ordained to be drowned in the river at Smith's ferry next Tuesday morning, at twenty minutes after 10 o'clock, and suppose I know it, and suppose I am a free, moral, voluntary and accountable agent lo you suppose I am going to be drowned ? I rather guess not: I should stay at home : and you would never catch the Rev. Elder Sprightly at Smith's ferry no how, nor near the river either. RUSTIC COURTSHIP. At a rustic merry- making, Roger was seated facing Patty, enamored of her beauty, and stung by the arrows of the little god, he only vented his passion in sly looks, and now and then touching Patty's toe with his foot under the table. Patty, either fearing that the purity of her hose might be soiled, or determined to make the youth express a passion which he appeared so warmly to feel, at length exclaimed with spirit: "'If you love me, why not tell me so. bat don't dirty ray stockings HENRY CLAY REQUEST TO , RESIGN. At a meeting of citizens of Trimble coun ty, Kentucky, held on the 29th ult. at the court-house, in the town of Bedford, without any. distinction of party, the following reso lutions offered by John Robert, esq., a whig, were adopted : . Be it further resolved, That the doctrines published to "the world by the Hon. Henry Clay, in relation to emancipation, are calcu lated, if carried out, not only to violate the constitutionalrrights of this commonwealth, but greatly to injure the condition of the slaves by corrupting them. Be it further resolved. As the sense Of the meeting, on the opinions of the said Henry Clay, now made manifest, upon the subject of abolition or emancipation, that he is no longer deemed a fit instrument to carry out , the wishes and defend the rights of the good people of this commonwealth in the Senate of the United States ; and, therefore, as the first act of the next legislature of Kentucky, he, the said Henry Clay; should be formally requested to resign his seat in the Senate of the United States. THE FALSEHOOD ACKNQWL- The Republican he real organ, par ex cellence, of this pretended no-party Presi dent comes out boldly and claims Gen. Taylor as the whig President, and says, in plain terms, that all he said in his letters and his inaugural about honesty, fidelity, and capacity, was idle ridiculous gammon pal baply absurd and false that he ha put out the incumbents of office for opinions sake, and that he ri& tontinue to do so. Thus at . the very outset, does the new organ Btamp ; upon Gen. Taylor the burning brand of - falsehood and hypocrisy, and consign him to the merited scorn and com tempt oi every . honest man. What will the whig press say now to removals f$r cause? Will they, after this dare to blacken with their foul insinu ations the characters of their pre-determined vWims? If so. we would place a whin in the hand of every man, u to lash the rascals naked through the lan d.

GREAT REPUBLICAN PAR--WHIGERY AGAIN CHANG ING ITS NAME. u There is no room to doubt that the great republican party will present an unbroken front to the assailants. q the principle upon which it was marshallef at the late canvass." Republic of Tursday. Thus it seems the whig party is again un dergoing one of its periodical metamorphoses. It is a genuine humbug. Every six or eight years it goes through all the stages of change egg, grub, chrysalis but it always comes out a genuine bug a humbug the verita ble tiling in color, shape, and nature, which it was before the transformation. It has gone through many of these periodical chan ges even in our day. It began its being un der the name of the 'federal party. It was then composed of the t tries, monarchists, and aristocrats of the revolution the men who hated and despised democracy in all its forms, and sighed only for the establishment of such a glorious government as that of Great Britain, even 44 with all its corrup tions." Having been defeated by the de mocratic palrty under the lead of Mr. Jeffer son, it became the "coinnierse party" dur ing the embargo. From 1807 to 1812 it was the 44 war party," and loudly clamored for war with England. After war was de clared, it became the 44 peace party," and gave "aid and comfort" to the enemy, as it has since deine to Mexico. From that time, it has assumed various forms and names. It has been the u national republican party," the 44 democratic whig party," the 'whig par ty," and has now become 44 the great repub lican party." Still the rogue is known, un der whatever alias it may assume ; and it will be. Ijt can no more disguise its true character than the leopard can wipe Out ita spots. That distinctly appears in all its phases and metamorphoses. It is the party forever at war with the true interests of the masses. It is the party that builds up banks and- corporations, and goes for high duties and taxes, that it may pamper its privileged favorites. In short, it ever battles for the capital of money against the capitd of labor. Instinctively couscious that its designs are odious to the people, it seeks to attain its ends by deception and chicanery. Hence its change of form and name, and its professions of principles; which it does not believe in nor carry out in practice. The Republic says Henry Clay, belongs to this " great republican '-party,'' " i55 aoes Daniel Webster. They both, it is said, have received favors from, and are pledged to sus tain, the Taylor administration. That is enough. Democrats now know what sort of a cat is covered up in the meal of u the great republican party." T 4 j r , t i v ami, mx yet aaxtehed, by Bf rt Stephens, j ! 2 1
