Popular Education.
On the occasion of, the appointment
of a County Examinej-, anif the taking
KS inttiatory steps in this important
matter, it may not Le amiss to submit
,som.e Suggestions concerning it. No
ci'tizi-u, who has the iuterests of his
' country sincereljl et heart, can be in
iliJIerejit to the exigencies of the hour.
Nx)t only is the . landi mourning from
the ravages of war, but it is steeped to
the lips in theheatLe i waters of igno
ranee and- prejudice. The white man
finds eyen the ordinary? facilities o
education once offered to' his children
taken away, and the colored (man re-
. alizes that his freedom, is almost a use
Jess incumbrance, unless ke caji be
taught how to -useat for his own good
&nd the good of society. In the mean
lime every "thoughtful mind can see
Jhat with the distribution of high edu
: fational advantages,' crime will dimin
ib morality and religion will be es
feemed, and the' material prosperity o
lliei entire country be advanced.
Wp have j read very carefully thi
Act of the Legislature, inaugurating
the work of popular education, and i
the! plan shall be canitd-out with dig
nity, fidelity and zeal, and no partiss'ari
political elements shall be 'permitted
to invade the sanctity of the enter
prise, much good may be accomplish-j
"'. td at an ".iy ly. 'r -
iut we warn the people and the
otScers of these schools, that they can
. not trifle with these solemn interests,
either an they i borrow the livery' of
' heaven to "serve the devil in. If, in
1 the employment of teachers, they e
f ket men because of their needy' cir
cumstances, as under the old Common
School system, or became of their po
litical opinion., or because of friendly
influence and not because of their at
r$ainments and qualifications, they will
. ndov the land with curses down to
fh.e latest generation. The position
of County Examiner is one of the most
fearful trust and responsibility'. In
tJtead of having schools erected into
humbugs beca use of ipcompetent teach
vu or converted intfeji political caucus
s, where the youthful mind shall be
' taught to perpetuate the reckless pre:
judices of the times, Ut him see' to it,
thai every teacher is an hones gen-
tUman, and that he goes to his 'work.
with at least suificitnt jculture to per
form its duties. If we cannot hive
; scholars, because of the iosulEcieney
o.'ihe pay, let us z. least have.incum
lnU of the effice who are competent.
? Another equally important matter,
is the course of education. We know
nof what this is, ; and presume it has
not yet been fixed upon, But we can
ay this much, that without being too
high, it ought to be high enough.
We have had enough A B schools and
ea-tick academies already for the gen
era) gocd. If the children of this land
re to be kept forever, in smoky ;shan
t:es at the cross-roads, see-sawing over
their spilling books, uithont one sin-'
le spark of fire struck into them for
-. something loftier iu the scale of being,
ml with no higher grades of learning
provided for the eager steps of their
ambition, then wejhad better close
out the system before we apply it.
But if we really wish to succeed, let
u put down our brick and mortar
right. Lit us have :ompeteut teacfi
crs,andlet those teacbers have a sound,
well-graduated course of study to work
upon. Jt them be, able to set before
their pupils successive .and ascending
fields of flight lor their mental ener
gies, ttt them not he compelled to
inspire the feeling, that these schools
j rejmere tread. mills, where, after a
certain routine of formal service, they
dismiss theit scholars to a life of toil ;
but that they are places of intellectual
training for all that is noble and useful
iu th H orld. ' :

It is, perhaps, generally knowii
through the County, that,1 at the re
cent meeting! of the County Com rrris-
sioners, wehyere selected, as their
first choice to till the office of County;'
Examiner. YVe felt the force of this
compliment the more, because, yvhile
trying to keep all partisan politics out
of the Intellioexcee- we are known
to be 'a Conservative in our Drivate
opinions. But if we hacj not the time

good citizen does, a deep interest in

OUK CALIFORNIA CORRESPONDENCE
V Santa Cruz, Cal., June, 1SG9
I have slated as briefly as I could,'
the result of my observations upon the1
system of farming as pursued in this:
State, which, system has made Califor
nia! one of the largest grain growing;
States on thej continent, and which if
adopted in same degree in North Car-!
olina, vill make her' waste places
blossom like the Rose."! Notwith
standing the improvements here, in
tie manufactured agricultural imple
ments have t been so .greatand bav
1
arrived to a state of perfection,! une-j
quailed in any other portion of the
United States, and have given largerj
results to each, individual employed in
farm labor; I look upon the whole sys-j
tern of agriculture as pursued here, asj
vicious in tne! extreme. I wiU ; slatei
my reasons the tirst settlers hereJ
found the plains, valleys
and ravine

rejoicing in a dark rich ve
;etable mold
of great depth, resting on a sub-soil of
clay, the)' found ihe hillsiles covered
with ai light j sandy loam of considera
ble depth, ajjidj.of great fertilityy when.
by experimeiit they found that these
lands were capable ofjproducingrain.
the yield to llie 'acre being enormous,
their ingenuity Avas taxed to invent
farming implements by which; they
could do a Very large amount of la
hour at comparatively small cost, so as
to make theilr farming operations prof
itable.,, the high prices of labour then
paidr preveijted them from employing
many nanus. 1 ne same plan js still
pursued, the; land is gradually deteri
orating in fertility for want pf fertiliz
ers, and the- improvement in farming
implemements keeps pace with the de-
terioration of the soil.
We have no
natural fertilizers here,
t niight say
it, indigenous to the soil, noswamp--
muck, no marl: all the fertilizers we
get, are imported guano, and stable re
fuse. : ' On the other hausJ. contrast your
Miuaiiuii juu iirtvc au mexiiausiiDie
supply of fertilrzers at every man's
door east of the Wilmington &, Wel
dorj Hail Road, jnuck and marl enough
for all time.,' Notwithstanding! these
advantages, your farmers
Jv ill persist
iu the old; fashioned ruinous policy of
cultivating too much land, and neglect
the means given them by a bountiful
Creator, to fertilize theirj lands, and
keeps them .up to their original State
You have also a better and nearer mar
ket for, thej disposal of your surplus
grain; every, barrel of flour or sack of
wheat sent from here must seek a mar
ket in Mexico, Peru, Australia, I -New
Zealand, China Japan, Europe or the
Atlantic Sta
cs.
There is
another greatt
industrial
pursuit in this Statetto.which I wish
to call the attention of your numerous
readers, -a - business in htcjh.North
Carolina can excel Calilbrlnia, if pur
sued in the same manner as it js here,
I mean the culti vation of grapes, and
the manufacture of wines and brandies
I am well satisfie 1 as to the correctness
oi the foregoing statement I do not re-i'
fer to the quantity prodnced,! but to
the quality of the fruit grown, and the!
article manufactured. We grow herej
successfully all the' varieties of grapes
grown in France, Spain,- Geirmany
and Italy, but none of them will com-i
pare with y bur native scuppernpng, in
deliciousness of flarour, ind neither
will they yield so great 'a quantity of
juice to the acre. I have lasted wii

successful manufacturers,) that had a
reputation for purity of quality and ex
cellence of flavour, not on y here, but
also in foreign countries but
I have neV-
er yet tasted any wii)e, ma
n u fact u red

mparison in

than I have ever seen in
Gai
aghfr
this
State,
made from native or imported
grape-
in conversation a tew moments
I . I!
since,
with a large grape-grower an
wine
manufacturer, I inquired
of him the

maximum quantity of juiej

I a n
was, "750 to 850 gallons.
I
not much mistaken, anyj variety
istak
:. i i : I I
of ti e
scuppernong will yield more than this.
. ' . i " i i
j imp
scurV
With the superior yield hi the
pernong. grapc? together with the
greater cheapness of labour in Norh
Caorlina, I cannot understand why
wine manufactured there with nothing
mord : than a local celebrity, should
be (held at tveh enormous prices. I
can purchase . here light table wines'
which compare, well in flavour with
Hock Sauterne and closet, for 75
cents gold per gallon excellent Port
wine tor $1.75 ' per gallon and
brandy of fair quality foi $1.25 per
gallon iii gold ; and at these compam-J
uyeiy low prices logeiner, witn me

have embarked extensively in this bu-
siness, hare been splendidly remuner
ated for! their investments. J.H.
