NEW SYSTEM OF EDUCATION. We recommend the communication f Mr. Holbrook in to-day' paper to he careful perusal of every parent and eacher. If the thoughts in it are jusH nd correct, there ought to be an entire revolution in our system of education. ould not editors in the country be . . t ... oinza service 10 me communiir oy publishing this article? 1 T I- T i. Mi runicnpr. From the New York American. In the last message from De Witt Clinton to the Legislature of New York, he remarked, that with a prop- r system ol education, and correct modes of teaching, all our children might become familiar with the physi cal sciences, botany, mineralogy, the various classet of animaiche4iiitry. natural philosophy, the fundamental principles of agricultural and political economy, and with much in history and biography, without 'any additional expense of time or money for their in struction. 1 he soundness and truth of this remark hat tince been fulj.y proved by the system of- education in Prussia and other cerman states: at 11 hat bv schools fjr deaf mutes and the bund in tint country. The following farts also thow that the same remark may be fully sustained a a plain deduction o' reasoning. 1. Spelling books, in common use, contain from ten to fifteen thousand words. To learn the authography of each word by the dint of memory, founded on the arrangement or rela tive possesion of thejfetteri. must re quire as mucn time ajvy euori as 10 learn the name, properties, ami use of ten plants, minerals, animal, or shells; or ten principle in chemistry, natural philosophy, astronomy, agricul ture, or political economy; or the same number of facts in history or biography. Consequently while a child is commit ting to memory the worda in a spel ling book, he might learn a hundred thousand of the objects, principle, or facts above referred to. 2. The time, paper, ink, and quills, ordinarily used bv children in achool. in copy writing, wouiu D sumcieni for writing the names, with brief ilea- eriptioHof 4he aauie objects, .princi ples, and lacU. S. The time spent in repeating lesson frcim rp(!inr bonks, if devoted to the reading and study of the Bible, work on icience, histnry.&c. would be suffi-j cTeliTtoriung,jyUhome care, and for some tri'ical rtadlh ftf, rat least one iutlinrTon each of the sub-- jects above mentioned. 5-1 he time usually pentm memo rizing grammar lemons, would be suf ficient for practical and critical exer cises in disruptions and narrati9ns, re lating to the objects of nature and art, with scenery, operations, and events, witnessed by children during the pe riod of their school day and yeart. 5. By this practical, rational, and consequently interctting, courte of exercises in spelling, writting. read ing and grammar, it must be evident to every one, that children would be come more familiarly andv thomugly acquainted with these mechanical nnrts of education, tlan they could he bv a mere repetition of thm f.ir diva, months and years, like so many parrots, without any knowl de of their meanins. sense, or use. In proof of the correctness of the a bove statements, I beg leave to, men tion that I have had occasion to know many thousand children who have learnt the names, and somethin: of the prop- ortirs. if from twenty to thirty ob- jects in one huur, many 01 wnom o . ------- . -...! probably, spent not oniy nays werka. but months, if not years, in learning the twenty-sn letter of the fttnhabeti and after all. thev probably did not obtain one distinct rational i Ua. from what was considered their instruction, though, it is tree, they must have received many from their anil from thair walks to and from school. To secure the important object spe cified by the distinguished statesman and nhilosonher above named, and now realized by the subjects of some abso lute monarch, the following pnii are desirable, perhaps essential 1.

Frequent walks in the n-lils and gardens, over ledges and mountains, by rivulets or brooks, through mar kets, on wharves, in mechanics' shops marble and granite yards, aided & en couraged by the presence and instruc tion of a teacher, parent, older broth er or sister, or some other protector, 8. Small. Simple and familiar books describing the objects, principles or op eration they have witnessed by their lessons in the book of JNature. ith these some of the beautiful andinteres ting passages from the Bible, selected from the Gospels, the fsi.lms, Pro verbs or the historical sketches of the Old Testament, are peculiarly appro priate and deligtful to children. 9. I-arger and more systematic works on the sciencies, arts, history. bioeraphy. and the Bible more fully, with abstracts reflections, or drawings of thing and incidents, leart from first elements of mature study. 10. Releasing children, principally or entirely, from the incogruous, un meanin? snd irksome masses, found in SDellinz books.reading bocks and gram mars, now consuming the greatest part n the precious time of chiidrer allot ted to their education. Aa a course of juvenile instruction, similar to that here pointed out, must commend itself to the common tense of every one, and as it is fully tried and corroborated by experiments, both in Eorope and America, it is, at least, worthy of trial by every parent and teacher in our Republican nation. I remain, as ever, sincerely yours, J. HOLBROOK, BEWARE OF THE SWINDLER. A fellow of the name of Wm.

W hile at Bean's Station 1 felt too sensibly that it j, wan useless for me to undertake" to write any thing, for there was such a fesiing of gloom and distressing reminiscences connected with the place, that I de cided to leave there at once for Bal timore. I find myself compelled to remain her until to-morrow hoping that I will be well enough to prosecute my journey. But 1 am digressing. Proba bly it will be better for me to give a kind of preface here of what occurred before he committed the deplorable event. I noted it down from tne land lord's own lips. Mr. Grayson arrived at Bean's Sta tion on the 8th inst. from Rnoxville, ap peared restless and impatient, as he tsked two or three times for a room be fore he was showed one. Came down to dinner, but ate nothing; requested s cup of tea to be sent to nis room. In the evening he came down, and con versed with Mrs. Mays, and appeared composed. He had conplained of a pain over hit eyes, and Mr. Mays re commended hint to make use of a sul phur spring in the neighborhood. He appeared anxious to do so at first, but finally declined, stating that he would not be able to rise early. He retired to rest at the usual hour, carrying a short piece of candle to his room, and let it bum out The next morning the boy went into his room with a towel and water to wash with. He directed the servat to clean his boots, which was donet and when the boy took them up, he told him he had no further use for him. The boy immedi ately left the room, and in eight or ten minutes afterwadrs the report of a pis tol waa heard, though it was thought by the inmates of the house below to have been a gun fired off out of doors. the hour for breakfast arrived, and the "1 rl caried it up to Ins room.

The Jmy said he found him lying on the top of the bedclothes, ami looked tout of his eyes as if he was very sleepy. There were two beds in the room, and it is thought that he was sitting on the one which he occupied, with his body in clined towards the other, where he shot himsell the other was directly op posite, and he wa lound hall way un der tt ISO blood wa lound on tne bedding, though a piece of the the skull bone was lound lying tnere. 1 ne urains were thrown about the room, tnougn very little blood. 1 lie pistol must have been nlaced a little below the riirht temple, a all the upper part ol that .. .
