A Committee of fifteen was appiintcd to pre narrlaisincss for the Cmvontion to reisirt i.,s ulHHHpieut meeting of the Cuvention : of which we will 1 able to inform our readers iu our next COMMON SCHOOLS, iiblish this week another of .Mr. Wile ..miminicatioiison thesu1i)n'tof('umnii n Sdns.ls. nnd we wish that we could induce every citizen of the Stale to read them and become interested j-pfactically in carryingout this grcnt .hin for the e locution of tlie masses in nur borders, It doc seem to us that our leading men have heretofore i been cull.ly negligent uf this the inoet impor tant institution of the State; and that all classes have lseen too much disposed to let it work for itself without giving that aid to it Oicratioiis fur the want of which it is a useless encumbrance upon our statuto book. Our people generally have so much needesl the stimulus of political excitemrntdo rouse Ihem up to tlie importance of action on any question, that an election connected with the Common SchKls is permitted most generally to go by default. It has often l?cn the case, ns wc know lxith from our own nliservutii.ii as well its from others, tlutt elections for School Committees have been en tirely neglected for the want of proper notices from superintendents, and although the law places the appointment of Committee in such instances in other hands, the wishes of a District arc not very likely to Ise coiisnlled in such cases. If in competent men, or men who find no interest in discharging the duties of the office in any other than a sort of perfunctory manner, are placed in such posts, it is but reasonable to suppore that they will not have a very close eye to the kind of teacher demanded by the wants of a partit-ular district; and thus the cause will suffer. We have known this to be done fro., eutly and we have lumenlcd the want of interest felt by parents and frionds, without the power of doing them any sen-ice in removing the evil.. " ' lYlura such a state of thing exist, those who do lielirve that Common Schools may be made a blessing to tlie State, feet discouraged and slack en their efforts when they find they can do no thing to remedy tho evil. We were rejoiced when wo learned that the Legislature had determined to appoint a general Superintendent ; we believed tlutt it would do an incalculable service to tlw e vuse in the State ; and we are truly glad that he lias set to work to do all he call to remedy the defects of the system and to make if a blessing to the rising generation. v 1 ' The Bisnnp or North Cahoi.ina.

THE NAY. . ; ; For a branch of the service that has shed so much honor apoa the' American name, and dis tinguished ns as a brave and" a" powerful people, the navy probably need as much reform and im provement as any other arm of the public defence. Every Jew weeks we are mortified to see chroni cled sum failure amongst the vessels of the Tailed ftstcs Uoyernment that,, would. spur any other nation into the resolve to do something to make it more efficient and more-wort by of the name and power of great nation. We do not pre tend to Impute any fault to 'the present head if the Navy lrpnrtment for the insufficiency and wnnt of power of the Navy,' tint rather believe it to be due to the policy heretofore' and uptoflicl present time pursued by Congress in the regula tions of the Navy. ' , - s - For one of the strongest and moat influential nations in the world, we have tlie feeblest and most inefficient Naval force. Time, in times of war, it haa proved a strong arm of defence and ha added lustre to our nnn.r and arms ; but with the increase of our commercial marine and the extension of our intercourse with the nationa uf the world, with the iinull ntiiulier of vessels of Wilr aml ,1,pir nowWged inferiority of con stnictiiui, it is iuisil!e for onr government to give that prompt and (efficient protection to our ciiuiinercial interests abroad that wi-uld be sc- cured by a proierly orgauixed Navy. It lias been but a few day since the press if a neighboring fmrt chronii.lc.1 tlio entire failure on its trial trip of a vessel built at one of our (tovemmeut establishments and its total loss to our government ; and it is a notorious fact that the vessels of the Japan expedition were long delayed for defects in workmanship and en ac- count of the difficulty of proarly manning tlie remedied. There is now a large surplus jn the- Treasury, and it ia constantly increasing ; and whilst we are no advocates for needless expenditures, wc nevertheless think that appropriations might very judiciously I made to remedy th defects -.c have spoken of. A IsdishTlie government system of building vessels, contract with responsible .persona for them ; change the present system uf promotion amongst tho officers of the Navy ; hold out other inducement to the enlistment of sea men in the service, at least eftiul to those given by the commercial marine; infuse thus more spirit and more activity into officers and men, and in a few years we would have a Navy that we need not lie ashamed of. APPLYING THE LASH. We have licforc us one of the most Ixrlj nary productions of this remsrkable'agei in Akc hnie of a letter from the Secretary of tife Treas ury to the Collector, Surveyor, 4c, of the port of New York, commanding tliem in official tout-1 to bestow the petty offices in their gift upon a certaiu branch of the party that seems to have called forth the peculiar sympathies uf the Ad ministration. It seems that the Collector of the M.rt, in bis appointments, hail entirely overlook- tM "lM"" "' 11,0 Ullf!ii,ir.IirVw4l,K of ,he "';i"" ra,'.v- "", ''-'"ir'g ocs..w1.-dge then a a coinisinent part ot llie party. All liiaapjiornt : nients were conferred uK.n the other wing of the party, again t whi h the Koerotdry of the Tren urv, with the advice of the Preddcnt and nth. r iiieml ers of the Cabinet, protests moat earnest).. , claiming for the U.irnl.u -ners an equal ri; li to a full participation in the spoils. This letter shows very oilicliisiicly, what tjie W'hig papers have all tlie time charged, that tho Administra tion leans to the frecsoil wing of the party and is fully resolved to make the factions unite, no matter upon what terms. The talk about their taking their stand upon the BaltinxH-e platform is all stuff, for everybody knows that the Bnrrg burncrs arc a irreconcilably opposed to the com promise and tu the rights of the South, as they have ever been to the Whig party. But the Sec retary of Uie Treasury distinctly -avows the con fidence of tho President and the Cabinet in this faction and in unmistakable terms takes them under the protection uf the Administration. Hear him : " " I call your attention to this subject and to tlie fairt that the President and hi Cabinet, with entile unanimity, recognise that portion of tlie isirty as democrats distinctly avowing and firm. ly maintaining the principles of the Baltimore platform, nnd entitled to lie recognized by ap- s.intmcut to official stations in your dctiartmmt Allow me to express the- expectation that juu will recognise them in the only way that will carry conviction with it." ." Really it is an extraordinary sight to see so Adniiiiistrntfiihrctiargcd withtho high trust of J managing the affairs of the nation, descending to tho business of dictating to local officers the cmrse they shall pursue in distributing the sp tils amongst clerks in the custom house and other petty officer. Whnt must the country think tf a President who believes it to be his special mis sion to lay down rules, nut for the conduct of tho sTairs of the Government, not for tlie manage ment of our relations abroad, hut for tlie distri bution and bestowal of tho petty offices of the (iovernmrnt. It is unworthy of the hich posi tion of the, President and is calculated to, create iu the people feeling of distrust thoy should never entertain for such an exalted functionary. This new move does not meet with favors from the Democratic press of New York generally. We do not recollect when we have seen a party press condemning more bitterly the acts of their own partisans than this act of Mr. Guthrie has lieen condemned. Here is a specimen from the Daily National Democrats. , '. ;J. ".Tlie letter of Secretary Guthrie to Collector Bmnson is an insult to the lcinoeraey of New York, a violation of our State rights, and the first a vowed application of that 'plunder-screw,' which, it is hoped, will lay ths public opinion of the country prostrate at the feet of aa imperiuu oligarchy. It is an ixsci.t to democracy, because it avows, a the eon vie tion of the Cabinet, that our political organisation can only lie held to gether by the 'cohesive power of the aiblis pons, a iiuel Hitherto cunlraeil to the British press.

A WAR IX EC HOPE. The question has len frequently asked and as frequently discussed, ' will there be war in Euroie V but not many have eimsidcred what would be tlie effect of such a war upon ihia -tsiHJlitrv. Intimately as we are connected with the now world by commercial relations, although f.ir off in distance, any change in tho state of a!fairs there must noceasurily have an effect upon, us eithor for gissi or for evil. We do not profess to lie sufficiently versed in commercial matters to give a perfectly satisfactory answer to the ques tion, but some of tho results are so evident that, we think wc may venture to give an opinion np on them. . ' A wnr in Europe would lie a general on or it would be confined to ltuseia and Turkey, ln cither case, thousands of emigrants, in the polit ical strifes uf tlie times, would seek fair shores, and thus a vast quantity of "capital mid labor would lie brought in. , This would give employ ment to our shipping, increase the demand for our supplies of sll kinds ; and thus all our pro duce would demand tlie highest rates in foreign ports. The governments of Europe would need money to curry on their contest's, and we from our position might cnniiete in the money market with any of the nations of the old world. The demand for lu-eadatuffa would divert much of the hilair and capital of the country from man ufacturing and speculation, to agricultural and commercial pursuits, thus enabling those slill engaged in manufactures to reap target. profits as well as affording more remunerative price to those tilling tlie ground. Cotton might pe low ered in price, but all other article wtaild advance aud all briincnes- of industry receive additional impetus. I'nless all ths ports of Europe should Is! block aded, which is not a pr. .liable occurrence, w would lav able to keep up an active trale wit'i those nations friendly to na. Our government, of c mrse, wilt remain neutral, and occupying a no' tion in which she can enforce other to respect her rights, will be side tn avail herself in a meas ure of the advantages arising from the withdraw al of much competition in our trade. ' We cannot protend tn say that these results would surely follow, but they seem to us at least probable. It is by no means certain that there will be a war, but if there should Iw, the enter prise, skill and energy of our people will enable tltetn to make the best use of the opportauitie afforded them" for trade. r,' HON. I. M. BAKR1N0ER. The Wei. loo Patriot advocate the claims of tlie Hon. D. M. Barringer tn the nomination ibr (iovernor next yesr, with no little force and abili ty. Since the subject was first, mentioned by ti Patriot, it has pretty generally been spoken rf by the Whig press throughout the State, and we hav not yet seen any objection urged to it. Should the Il.ai. Mr. Barringer be the noatinee of tlie Whig Convention, we foel certain he would lie warmly supported by the Whig prestos and the Whig masses throughout the State. The high positions occupied heretofore by Mr. Barringer, have given him an opportunity of showing his ability aa well as his devotion to the principle of the Whig party and the interest uf the pe. pie. The Patriot had heard a report that Mr. B. would, on hi return to America, take up his res idence in Maryland, and to bo satisfied on that point, addressed him a letter on thai subject.
