COMMUNICATION. - " -.Fr the North Carton Tim es. -'Mr. Editor : . i ' It inevitably follows from-a view of the versatility as well as wide Tange and Vast scope of the mental operations as' realized tin the phe nomena they exhibit, that the subject and oljjectd of a thorough education, embrace ah unlimited field bounded only by the limits of th human' un derstanding. It is not pretended tha any (man can begin to attain to perfection in knowledge it is not contended that all men should try to master every subject we cannot do all things-v-all minds are not 'cast in the same mouUaU occupations are not equally favorable to study nor tare all in clinations tinged with tin same hues of insatiable enthusiasm for the acquisition of treasures! far more valuable and ennobling than birth, ' rank, wealth or circumstance for "the mind ii the trea sure of the!man." But surely a knowledge of our own language and history the lives of our emiT nent founders -and benefactors tho history of the Republics of Greece and Rome the history of EulanJ as our mother countryr-the modern his ; tory and geography of the world the elementary anJ practical knowledge of simple .mathematics the elements ff astronomy, chemistry, and nincra logy the principles'of logic, rhetoric, natural and moral philosophy the political Constitution of the United, States and their own particular State ConV stitution and Bill of Rights tne simple rules of political economy, agriculture commerce andmanu " factures a history of the tine and mechanic arts the evidences of Christianity and the life and doctrines of the S iviour and his Apostles in the New Testament- I would have all American youth of both sexes instructed in our common schools in these branches of education, only laying less stress on female attention to the uiore strictly ; political departments. ' ; 1 J Sliould any ono siy, this is too extensivo a course :- for. common schools or public Academies, it may be Replied that a little less attention to Latin and : Greek, and filling up the tima with familiar lec ; turas on these several branches, a task by no meaiis ; difficult to competent teachers, who would find the Work not only salutary to their pupils, but deltght--Jul and very instructive to themselves. Here is a sketch of my plan of instruction for Ainericaayouth n SchooUi and Colleges. Saturday is surrendered at discretion to the pupil, it is his holiday of liborty and enjoyment .after the studies of the woek. .Then wo ha ye six days of mental application, more -or less, ailigent aud constant. The Sabbath is God's -t should, bo employed in tho Sabbath School studies concerning things invisible and only . to be appreciated by faith in Divine Revelation our relations to. the Great Eternal our duties to HIM to ourselves to our neighbor to our coun try to mankind. The truths learned on this day Will harmonisa and coalesce not only with the du ties, disci plina and studies of the other school days, but enlare refine and polish the minds and man ners of the pupils. The test is easily applied by contrasting the nett gains of such Sunday scholars, for one hour, morning and evening, with the attain m;nts of scorched, torn or bedraggled pantaloons in-sailings fishing, hunting, birdncsting, or fruit Stealing expeditions ; without taking into the cal dilation, the black eyes, broken limbs, and far I worse . corrupted morals, Of the urchin Subbath breakers, after a whole holiday the day before. - Now let Monday be devoted to the school exercises of reading,- writing, Grammar, Geography, Arith- i metic, &.C., extending to all tho various classes of k the school and their corresponding studies, and at eleven o'clock; suspend , ths exefciscs to have a lecture on agriculture, commerce, navigation, or "manufactures, for half ah hour, on the chosen sulv jct.

Now send these crown men," under euch instruction, to the hustings, to the ballot boxes, to the Court, House, to the Town Hall, to the Legislature, to Congress, to the Churches, and my life on it sir, you cannot dimagoguij or frit st a-gog thesa enlightened, free, American citizens. No, Sir, they will tell the in novator upon sound instructions, VVe are content with the liberties" secured by our Republican far thers we ask no changes and least of all srich change as you can bring ais." They will tell the idolater of European hierarchies, who- would ob trude hi mediatorial grace upon their poor sinful soid?: Here in free America, &c, Religion does not percolate and distil in drops, through gold and silver pipes, but jwursdown in floods from the open X2xnAowtJ" Ilea ten, to enlighten the humble, to re vive the" contrite, to bind up the broken hearted, and bless a country where religion, like every other gift and grace of God, is free fur all ! Sir, these are the sort of republicans ' we need, men who know their rights and their duties, men who can maintain them men who can" say to the flatterers of European systems and customs. u If you dissent from the opinions "of our Republican ancestors and their institutions, and like Europe better, a Steamer leaves twice a month from New York for Liverpool .-go ! and enjoy your cherished felicity under your loved institutions, if under Pro- h vidence they have not been greatly altered since the past news from your fountain of glory. Sir, a Iree- born American with a strict regard to politeness, should repress firmly the senseless arrogant and insolent boastings of foreigners or their eulogists, and plainly tell them that though we have no ven erable antiquities nor owl inhabited honorable ruins, we have, what they never have had, a free pros perous, enlightened happy people, no kings, no nobles, Do prelates but Presidents, Governors, Statesmen and pious Ministers of Religion, chosen freely from among all classes of society, and who can compare with surpassing honor with any of the "born to rule and ride" class in any part of matchless Europe. ' We have far more, Sir, the most fertile soil in a virgin country, in a mild climate generally, where we can feed ourselves and all Europe with bread stuffs ; mines of gold, silver iron, eopper and lead, coal, granite, freestone, marble ; the nnest naviga ble rivers and the most rapidly thriving cities and villages. We have also the record of "History to attest, that we have vanquished the pride of Europe and h?r prowess in a hundred battles by sea and land, before our Republic was half a, century old, or had half her present population! And while monarchies are decaying, and hastening to down fall, America is only in the first vigour of her man hood, tendering no homage to any earthly potentate, but the Olive Branch of peace to ah opening her arms as an asylum to the persecuted of every clime, and affording solace to the cast a ways from every soil upon her shores. Here, they can be Republi cans, with equal rights, and privileges, without tithes and taxation to enrich any privileged classes or monopolists. 1 hey may arise to any Oihce they deserve, except the highest, lbut even this is not de barred from theirmale descendants. Wherein then we ask do these" Egyptian tisk masters, excel us, or th?irjsoil steeped in Jtheir ow'n tears and blood, whenein can it compare,with "the land of the Free, apitho home of the Bra veT' ' In reviewing the essays, Sir, you have so cour tiously admitted to your columns, and so kindly commended to your readers I have first to apologise ' for any unintentional rudeness or errors. ; As the advocate of constitutional liberty and enlightened Republicanism, I have pointed out what I deemed errors in some departments of the government in regard to the present administration I have charged grievous departures 4rom the Constitution, and a haughty imitation of the obsolete tyrannies that Europe is shaking ott from her galled and ulcerated shoulders. With respect to Generals Scott -and Taylor, I have contended that this Nation should delight to honor, the brave defenders of their honor, frown on their base calumniators, and reward men who have exposed their lives and reputation as good soldiers, in Irotly contested battle fields, while the Cabinet of the United States were gloomily poring over military strategy to pick flaws in some of the most brilliant victories in our annals. I charge, Sir, on this administration, that their attempt to censure Gen. Taylor for the capitulation terms after the victory of Monterey i and their truculent persecu tion of the heroic Scott after he had covered him- self and his country all over with as much glory as such a war could comer, and as brilliant lustre as victory following upon victory to final victory, could j shed on his native land, that such recompense ot these brave officers who were plucking laurels at the mouths of cannon, while their detractors ' were sucking wine, cigars and lemonade, safely, in palaces at home, is an indelible stigma to our coun try s-a reproach to the whole army and American people a disgrace to me spirit oi tne i am century : If 1 had my way, Sir, I would have two solid Gold Medals' struck as large, as Scott's hasty soup plate, and after suftab'e inscriptions of honorable merit, to the names of ZACHARJ TAYLOR and WIN FIELD SCOTT, have them presented by a Com mittee of Con,gress without distinction of party. And further, Sir, 1 would elevate these brave and patriotic citizens to the highest honors our country can bestow on long, able and faithful meritorious services. If the Dejriocrats can trast Ijewis Cass of the milish. the AVk,4aeefc0t fear, either Taylor ! or Scott of the Regular Army of the United States of America. ' cannot believe, Sir, that our intelligent country- men can enucrse so ioui a wrong uone to manmnu in the persons of these gallant men, at the ballot b;xes of Freedom. I cannot bear tho idea of Carthaginian gratitude for our modern Hannibals. DO Should such a verdict come from tho voices of our usually high minded brave and warm hearted countrymen, the blame will rest on the American !' lxp!e, by the verdict of History and mankind. A j few months ago Mahomet All complained to the j English Ixml Oastlereagh, who was iu his palace ; rvp'.oi auactoi injusucc.oe nau sniiereu irom the Lnslish. The wily noble threw the blame on the ministry, who he said were alone responsible for the outrage. M Pooh ! said the shrewd old Chief, the whole people are Li blame to have such ministers they sKould change them for men tcho 4 icouLi d) justice!" Xow, Sir, I go for Mahomet j Ali, and thus fir I am a Mahometan. I woufu i loilow truth anJ justico to I shall be civil Sir to the receptacle of things lost upon earth 1 would do justice an J folio .truth, because falsehood is always transient in its effjets, however jhurtful for the time and because no individual or national act of injustico ever fails of entailing T-ondigu and signal punishment on the people who DaUU.IUti Ik.

Sir, a people whwill not lay aside party preju dices ana predilections on great National questions like our present ones, and exert their self govern ing and Constitutional powers to renew the gret fundamental spirit of their primitive construction as held by their framers, are fast approaching that fearful verge, where they are incapable of saving them selves, and shall I write it unworthy to be saved ! J. cinnot indulge an idea so abhorrent to justice, Teason, patriotism and humanity in my be loved country I cannot despair ot a Kepublic, which amid numerous errors and acts of irreat in justice, yet contains thousands of hearts that feel, and tongues and presses that can make their in dignant remonstrances heard by the tenants on time, of power and office, at tfrf wul nf the American people.

Extract from the Journal of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church, convened at Balti more, May, 1848'. "Resolved, That the enterprise of the Coloniza tion Society so successfully prosecuted amid so much of obloquy, opposition, and misunderstanding, has our highest confidence, as wise, peaceful, hu mane, and philanthropic. Resolved, That as it has been in past years, re peatedly recommended to the patronage of the Churches in our connection as pre-eminently com bining the noblest benefits of Africa and America , to the emigrant Colonist, and to tho heathen tribes around them, we vvould again offer it to their pa tronage, and most earnestly recommend to all Pas tors and Churches, an annual collection for its sup port, to. be made early in July. Resolved, That we have hoard with the higho st pleasure of the complete destruction of the last slave factory on the coast of Africa, (within the jurisdiction of Liberia, a distance of 350 miles,) and most earnestly hope for the day, when a traffic soodiousj and evil shall be swept from the ocean." THE OLD WOMAN'S RACE WITH A LOCOMOTIVE. ) In a cotta ge not very far from the well known village of Ecclefechan, which can boast of more bridges than even the metropolis itself, there re sides a gude wife who is now in her 92d or. 93d year, and is able,, notwithstanding to read without the aid of spectacles, and to use her legs uith more vigor than many of her juniors by a score; of years. From her cottage she commands a view of the Caledonian railway for nearly. .Hyemites" and of ten amuses-herself with watching the trains ca reering al6ng, speculating on the unco's changes which have taken place since the days of her girl hood. While discussing these matters the other day, she made a bet of a crown piece with her son that sho would start, from her house, which is three quarters of a mile from the line ot railway, as soon as the mail train came in sight, and reach an accommodating bridge it crosses before the train came. The proposal agreed to, she kilted up her petticoats as soon as tho locomotive showed itsfi-.ry nos?, and away she ran, three-fourths of a mile against four and three quarters ; but for the one a very elderly pair of legs, for the other the steam steed rushing along with more than the velocity of the race horse. ' For once, however, e ven steam was too slow, and, with wind in very fair-order, the nonagenarian gained the bridge, ran belcw and back again," ere the ponderous train whizzed above the arch. During her race she mot a- younger female acquaintance who wished to speak with her. 'I hae nae time the noo: eh, eh, I'm runnin a race, wi' the train, ye see, eh, eh, unless, eh, eb, you keep up wi' me.' This her friend attempted to do, but soon found tha t she had bellows to mend, and was forced to give in. The winner went home triumphantly, pocketed the stakes with great gusto, and was so little the worse for her exertions that she offered to rrin the same distance against her son, wjjo, after the specimen he had just had of his mother's powers in the racing line, very prudently declined the proposaVt There is evidently no great need of sanitary reform among the braes of Annandale.

Its'isncccas has certainly been unprecedented ; and 'while.;1 it my be pardonable to ascribe this in part to the merits, of the work, it must not be denied that the public good-rwill. and kindness have been abundantly demonstrated. The pre?, in oil parts of the country, hs girea its voice liberally and heartily in favor of tHe new aspi rant. To flag after this would be dishonorable indeed. It is the hope of the publisher that the courage and en terprise which belong to success will be found rather to have stimulated than slackened his exrrtiOns.

'l"he benefit to be derived from the use of the Libraries and from attendance on -the Literary Societies should strongly induce such young men to prosecute their studies here. In order for a student to enter upon the Eusliah course, Ife must be thoroughly acquainted with English Grammar, Geog raphy and Arithmetic. I The' expenses of this Institution are as follows: Board per session $40 ; Tuition and deposite fee, per session, $22 50, are $125 for the Collegiate year, ex clusive of incidental expenses, which include the cost of text books, fuel, furniture, &c, for room in College. We respectfully advise parents that more pocket mo ney than is necessary t supply the reasonable wants of a student is injurious. The practice of xoutracting debts witn tradesmen, in the vicinity of Cor'ege, is in a high degree pernicious. A law of the State of Vir ginia designed to provide a remedy for this bane of all Colleges, Ls to this effect: That any merchant who shall gije credit to a College Rtudent, without special authority from hi parent or guardian, shall, upon conviction of the fact, forfeit the debt, forfeit his li cense, and be lined J$3Q0. Let parents and guardians have due regard to this law, and where it may be ne cessary to open an account with a merchant, l?t the individual be designated and the amount specified, and tne evil will cease. PREPARATORY DEPARTMENT. The primary object of the Preparatory School, is to prepare young men for College, but the course of tu- bdy is such as to meet the wants of the neighborhoods in which they are located, and to qualify students for the ordinary occupation of life. The School in the vicinity of College continues un der the direction of Mr. Vv. T. Davis, an uhle aud successful Teacher, and my .own immediate supervis ion. Its sessions and vacations are the same as those of the College proper. The cost of board, &.C., is u little less than a student of College pays.

C, November 5lh, 1847. In publishing this Paper, the Subscriber claims the right of pursuing the occupation for, which his educa tion and taleuts mialify him, as the best mode of sup porting hl family, tn that portion of his native State which he considers his home. The Public hare a right to know the principle of !he Paper they are desired to support; and a brief exposition of those principles (such as the liiritx of a P.th?p-ctus will al low) is accordingly submitted, s Ve believe the principles of the Whig Party to be patriotic and right ; they meet our hearty concur rence, and ha!l receive our warm support.. We hare ncthingbut those princ'ples to iuterpte against the progressive strides of innovation, which even now run . into the extreme, that desire and expediency, a thirst for aggrandizement, and the potter to satisfy it, usurp the place of Law and the Constitution, and right and justice ; and confer upon the dominant party liberty to do whatever they will, regardless of the barriers thrown around them by the Constitution, as well as., tha usages of the Government. The Whig party disavow 6uch purposes, wich measures; deny the right, sec the evils, and ajjeal to the Gnutitutunt.' We believe that the present Administration, by its corrupt acts, and high-hand-d and illegal measures, has done more to break down the wholesome re strain ta of the 'oustitution, and to impair our confi dence in the stability of that instrument on which the Union of the States depends, than any which has preceded it; and that is now pursuing a course of measure, which, if not promptly checked, may wreck both Union and Liberty. But, while we oppose the present Administration, and the Party which is responsible for the mischiefs it has brought upon the Country, detraction and a buse shall never rind a plac in the columns under our control. Our chief aim. shall be a fair mad manly exposition and defence of those principles on which 1 we believe our Prosperity, Unity,. rcatnes, and Happiness depend ; and wc shall uWcard all personal ity and invective, as offensive alike to good manners. aui deleterious in their effect upon the public morals Tlie Literary and MUeellaneoos Departments of ' 1 aper shall receive that ldttors close attention j L Me wui De aiiea oy wr.iers oi Knows abditTr- iic win uuw eoiK-BTor 10 mufce me .itffi i'epartmcut full and authentic ; while the Farming and Commer cial interests shll each week receive such iutelligrace of Commerce and the Markets, as will keep them well informed of the rise and (all of Produce, and the "tendency of Mercantile transaction.
