THE EXAMINER. SSALlSliURX, riUKAY, SEPT. 17. Tlik COMMON SCHOOLS. The people are very naturally beginning to ask when are the Free Public Schools to be inaugurated It is now eighteen months, nearly, sine the present State government went into iperation, and every one reinem- fl.vpre its professions in rfegard to what it ?as; going to do for Education Hut thus fr all has ended in talk. Wehav 4io Free Schools. Our poor white children tire growing up to manhood and womanhood : without learning. The negroes seem to have enlisted inftheir behalf all the philanthropic ' efforts of the friends of Education outside o vthe State. I Theee times the possession of a white- skirl sem3 to be a badge of negle misfoitunf. J !' One very absurd thins is certainly done by obr Radical State Board of Educa- . tion. They are expending much money and effort to cirry on the State University, a school which has less than ten pupilk, and nearly as anany Professors, who are paid their hih salaries out of the taxes of the people. The University, according to the present sys tem, is placed in connection with the; Com- bt and being won Schools 1 but it is certainly the highest of them in grade, and ' therefore is expected to receivtl into its halls, and complete the ed ucation of, those who have passed through What tolly then to look the lower schools after it first. The sensible course would be to set the Common Schools to work; and from these would come up plenty of scholars to the University, and it would be filled and Annnnrfatl without diflicultv. As it lis, the wiseacres of the Board of Education arc at trniptind to build the " turret" before they have laid the "foundation-stone. But there; is a reason for this, and it is a reason which adds one more to the' thousand proofs tliat Radicalism keeps its eyes opeu to pelf and; filthy lucre, more than it does to the public welfare. : Those University Professor ships pay good salaries. Of course then they must be occupied bv Radical favorites, no matter if they do have only empty benches to preside over. I There is no big pay in the positiorj- of a Common Free School teacher. Henceur Radical friends are in no hurry about getting these places filled. There those eight or ten Professors are at the University,: living at our expense, and doing io manner of service to State or peo ple. Only! half a dozen little boys are there for them to teach ; and one Professor could DEATH OF JOHN BELL. The death of John Bell, of Tennessee, took place at his residence, at Cumberland Iron Works, in that State, on the 10th inst. Mr. Bell was born at Nashville, February . 18 1797. Graduating at a Western College, he tudied law, and in 1817 he was elected to he State Senate. In 1826 he was elected to Congress as an Adams candidate, but became an admirer of Calhoun, and "after several va cillations of policy took ground asa whig, and as such was elected speaker of the House of Representatives in 1832. In 1811 he was appointed Secretary of War by President Harrison, but resigned immediately after tne latter's death, being only one month in office. After a period of retirement.he was elected United States Senator in 1847, and was re instated in 1853. In 1860 he was nomina ted by a convention" in Baltimore, as a fourth candidate for the presidency, with Edward Everett as the candidate for the Vice presi dency, carrying only three States Virginia, Kentucky and Tennessee. The Bell-Everett ticket, as it was called, represented the South ern Unionists and what was left of the old whiga and know-nothings of the North. It was a party of-compromise- aiv' effort on the part of well-meaning men to postpone the evil day of civil war, Its platform was, " The Union, the Constitution and the En forcement of the Laws." Burins the late war Mr. Bell's sympathies were with the South, not because he did not love the Union, but because he detested those extreme repub licans ot the JNorth who, as he thought, pre- ( cipitated the war, He took fco active part, however, and remained in obscurity ever since. Personally he was an amiable gentle man. Friend of Temperance WASHINGTON. Washington. Sept. 14. Revenue today $250,000, The Steamer," Sabine," left Cherbourg, for Lisbon, on the 20th ult.

The Ujiitcd States was not in a position to do so. Tjieir hands were lull enough in dealing with domestic confusion. But under the gui dance jof pragmatical Yankee Radicals, the United! States, in that case, acted out to perfec tion the part of the dog in the manger. Thev could n,ot themselves secure a good, stable, gov crnmciit to Mexico, and they would not' let Maximilian doit. By their interference, they procured the death ot that gallant and heroic man, and relegated Mexico to the rule of bar barous 1 greasers, who have been proved, by the continual revolutions of half a centutry, to be thoroughly incapable of self government. Dissensions, disorders, insurrections, robberies, murders, poverty, and hopeless wretchedness, these are now the daily experience of that um happy region, for which nature has dono so much :! and these are the fruits of Yankee " SLA VERY IS DEAD BUT TREASON .
