Our best educated men in collegee, are not fited, by the present system of education, for the practical business of life; and those who shine bnghtest in the university, often accomphsh the least when they leave it. Their system is all theory. No young mans likely, by his college educition, to become prepared tor life, its struggles, its sufferings, its efforte, its disap- pointments, and its heroic endeavors.

This learned pro- fessor, in whose remarkable letter were con- teined some of the wildest vagaries that ever sprung from an academic brain, railed against the press, as the ‘self-elected” priests of po- pular opinion, and gave his hearers to uader- ttand that its principal business and influence consisted in destroying what had been achieved by former ages.

Three or four steamers will be due this week from Chagres. e Great Democratic Union Meeting, Last Night, at Tammany Hall, In another part of our columns will be found a ull, distinct, and graphic report, of this great meeting of the democracy, at Tammany Hall. Union stock, to judge by this meeting, will and must look up—the demonstration made by the great masses in this city, prove, beyond all doubt, the strong determination of the North to maintain the Union inviolate. Whatever other divisions may have troubied this meeting, all were of one mind on one subject—viz: attachment for the Union. Pius and the modern Professor—* three hail fellows”—ought to have a meeting some fine even- ing, and see if they cannot do something to stop mankind from going to the devil. Removals anp ApPointMENTS.—It 18 perfectly well known throughout the country, that there never have been so many removals from office, within so short a time, #8 have beea made since the present cabinet came into power. Never, since the formation of the government, have there been 60 many removals, under any administration, as there have been under the present. This we assert as a matter ef fact, susceptible of proof, if it were worth while to produce it. Now, it is very well known that all these removals have been made at the instanee of the cabinet, in of the Past, Present and Future. As the elements of civilization and progress be- come more and more developed, causes seem to bring about results with such rapidity that the chief business of philosophy has come to consist rather in recording events in the daily newspapers. than the analysis of their causes in huge volumes. The scholastic age has passed away forever. Science has left the university, and begun its pil- grimege over the world. Learning no longer hides ‘The Struggl in the recesses of the convent, but has begun to diffuse itself among mankind. Literature, even, is now bursting away from the shackles of libra- ries and books, and flashing on its cloud-born mis- sion among the million, with the rapidity of the telegreph. Monopolists in learning have become as odious as those in government; end the few black-letter men still left, who are more wedded to old things, by the force of education and prejudice, than they ever were to truth, are compelled to re- Jax their hold upon the past, to wrestle with the ac- tualities of the present, and contemplate the stir. ring prospects of the future. In Europe, the strug- gle between the past and the present has unsettled society, and men are now prepered for any change whatever. What the future of the Old World will be, no man can foretell; but the same causes which were long ago developing the mighty ef- ects we have witnessed in this country, although more slow in their operation abroad, are none the less sure. Monarchy, aristocracy, priesteraft, un- authorized and irresponsible power and dominion of every kind, must pass away. Institutions which have locked up the secrets of science, which have monopolized the blessings of creation, which have limited the range of light, and truth, and freedom, which have cramped, and crushed, and enslaved the homan mind, are giving over their ineffectual struggle with destiny, and slowly but surely they are sliding from their foundations. The popular fentiment of mankind, among all enlightened na- tions, is tending towards a more liberal state of seciety. Even Pius IX., who, mn his office, has been regarded as the most sacred of all men hold- sng power on the earth, and who, in his person, was regarded with more veneration than any other man who has lived in modern tmes—not excepting even Washington himseli—was compelled, the very heur that he put himself in oppoaition to the progress of the age, to fly from his oWa capital; and although many wise prophecies have been made about his speedy return to Rome, yet, from the beginning, we have insisted that that event would be delayed for a considerable time, even if it ever took place ; for, with fifty thousand French muskets as a body guard, he knew that he was not safe in his own capital. Even Lous Napoleon, who was elected by a larger popular vote than was cast even for his great uncle, after his most brilliant victories, has been compelled to surround himself with a larger and more formidable military defence than ever waited on the pride of Louis XIV, or on the se- curity of Louis Philippe. A combination far more powerful than has ever been known before against free principles, took place after the recent revo- ‘utions, to crush republicanism in Europe; and although for a while it may seem to have tr- wmphed, yet who supposes that even the Czar of Russia would not sleep more securely ia his pa- lace, if he felt that he had Kossuth beating the snow path of Siberia? A more stirring spectacle for the friends of progrees, can hardly be conceived than that heroic Hungarian, a prisoner, shut up within the gloomy walls of the old Moslem city of Shumla, the object of dread and apprehension on the part of every tyrant, and of unbounded ad- miration on the part of everybody else. That defencelese, unarmed prisoner, is a more terrible | object to Nicholas, and he is more dreaded in Vienna, then Napoleon wae with his four hundred and fifty thousand soldiers, on their march to Ras- fia. The age 1 changed ; opinions now control mankind, and monarchs themselves know that they must, sooner or later, bend to the universal convictions of mankind. We eee, even in our country, on a pretty small scale, some curious attempta to resist the progres: of the age ; but they are only noisy eddies in the tide places of the great stream which rushes ceaselessly and irresistibly on and most ridiculous displays of this kind that hae come to our knowledge, occurred a few evenwgs since, in the chapel of the New York University, where a Professor, Teachers’ Arsociation, deliberately undertook to show that the colleges of the United State® could not meet the exigencies of the times, wnlere va theit system of education they gave up all innovations upon the system of the pret, end went beck to the rile of the blackdtetter a We aré eure that the announcement of such a d. trine would have ooly brought a smile upon the lip of Dr. Pusey and his followers in Oxford. ta Cambridge, euch twaddle would have been an- ewered by a eneer. 4 will be treated with contempt. Now, that the present system of edacatioa ia colleges ia America does not answer the exi- agencies of the times can hardly be denied. In this proposition the Professer would find no great difference between his views and those of other people; bat we can eee that there would bea pretty broad difference between him and the pab! if the inqvity were instituted jato the redsons why this fact The only accusatioa which 2 80 One of the feeblest | m a letter to a | In New York, we presume | direct violation of the promises of General Taylor, and, a8 every one # aware, a great many, indeed & majority, of the new appointments have been, and are to this day, utterly incompetent to per- form their respective duties. This 1s admitted to a great extent by the organ of the cabinet at Washington, in the following paragraph :— This inconveni it te the diecharge of the duty devolved upon the executive, of equalizing federa! favor among the two it into which the people of the country are divi: We shall take the liberty of altering the last sen- tence ofthis paragraph a tittle, by substituting the word “cabinet” for “executive.” Having done thet, we will take the liberty of exclaiming “Fudge ;” and the author of the paragraph knew that he was writing fadge when he indited it. He knew, when writing it, as well as any one else does, that, in the matter of removals, proscription has been prescribed by the present cabinet; and that from the highest officer down to the lowest, there has been an indiscriminate system of removing | from office, for opinion’s sake, the like of which has never been witnessed under any previous administration. As we have repeatedly stated, these wholesale removals were not made at the instance of the President. He knew nothing | about them, and we venture to say that he is much mortified at what has been done in this re- spect by those in whom he confided, but who have abueed the trust reposed in them. What humbug At ia, to be sure, this attempting to hoodwink the public in this way! If the organ of the cabinet were to preach till doomsday, it cannot alter the | fact—and that fact 1, as we have said, that pro. scription has been proscribed, and that the same | cabinet have and are at this moment deceiving and | duping the honest old patriot whe occupies the | White House. The idea of “equalizing favor among the two t parties” is #0 supremely ridiculous, shat to make any comment upon it would be to de- prive it of the only effect which it ean exercise. Trivcnarmic Ovrrace.— Some malicious persons ®awed down a pole and cut the wires of the House Phi- ladelphia line, in five or eix places, near Newark, on Friday evening, about balf past nine o'clock. This is the s cond time the same thing has beem done at that place within the !set two months. It is pretty well un- derstood at the office who is engaged in this business, and we weuld recommend caution hereafter. Lave rrom Rio pe Jane —The bark D. Godfrey, Capt.

In our several telegraphic despatches, will be found the latest intelligence, to the time of our going to press. At Washington, the public mind is charged with impatient desires for the delivery of the views of Mr. Calheun, on Monday; and should he be able to appear in the Senate, his speech will be read. In case he is too ill to be present, the at- tempt to introduce hia speech, by proxy, may raise a question, not without importance, whether or not,a written speech by a Senator, can be read during his absence. The character of the news from California, though without details, is exceedingly important. It brings dates two weeks later than by the las, arrival. The terrible calamity that has befallea Sacra- mento City will exceed by far, in disastrous'results, the loss of property by the recent fire in San Fran. cisco, while it will have a tendency to depreciate the value of the land there, upon which many have based their hopes of independence and happiness.

The City of Sacramento has been overflowed by wa- ter. But few spots of land are visible, and the inhabi. tants are suffering terribly from this dreadful and unheard of calamity. The lose by this unlooked for visitation is estimated at over one million of dollars. Immense herds of cattle and other property have been swept away. While this great flood, however, destroys a great deal of property, it will wash out the gold in immense quantities. A party of Chilians had made an attack upen the Americans at the mines in the vicinity of Stockton, in which two of the assailed were killed, and the others imprisoned, though the latter were afterwards released’ The ehip Prince de Joinville, and bark Harman, from New York, had arrived at San Francisco. ‘The Latest from Washington. OUR SPECIAL TELEGRAPHIC CORRESPONDENCE. ‘Wasninaton, March 2, 1860. ‘The inaction of Congress to-day, has given an aspect of quietude to public affairs ; but there is, nevertheless, no little spprehension, in certain quarters, that the calm now pervading the political atmosphere is like tbat which precedes the earthquake.
