He waa in favor of doing away with degrees in colleges alto- gether, or awarding them only upon the most rigid ex- amination, When students came to perceive that an examination was of some account, and nota mere for- mality, they would be more anxious for passing this ex- amination and obtaining the b Chancellor Tarra then took the floor, in support of his paper, He said that it was undeniable that Germany was far ahead of this country and Europe in its system of education, Education there was and within the poor as well as npn It cont onl 8A for tuit German gym cos per year ion in the 2 na - sium. were some friends of his—some American youth:—who had entered them, and who were now being pesnetye in education at the rate of $15 per year.

Here was the place for it; here was the wealth. It would take two ions of dollars to do this, “but he thought this amount could be raired. ann motion, the debate upon this paper was here loved. ‘The next Dusiness in order wa the reading of a paper on “Mental and Physical Activity,” by Rev. E. B. Huan- tington, Vrincipal of Public High Yenool, Stamford, Con- necticut. The mind war awakened by the constant ap- peal io physical wants, From childhood to manhood the mind was gradually awakened ani developed by a con- stant exercise of the faculties on behalf of the wants of the body, The child ha» hls mind gradually develo, by the physical senses, capectally dy the conse of seving end the sense of touch. He learns mathematics by the sen:;~ «“ touch. He feels that two apples and two more maki . He feels that of six apples take away three and tlice remain. In the atudy of geography, let him go upon a hill top, and he sees the great natural map eee, ue af feed & rehends 4 role iid what geography is and what it means. 1e a an wer of the mind depends much upon the Stayaloal Gore ition of the body. Thought cannot be poured upon tho mind as food is tnken into the body, because inthis way it may be astultifed, ‘The mindis the current of the soul's activity, and is maintained by physical activiyy. Now, to stimulate the mind the tutor should excite in- quiring thought and reficction; not teach so much as to give necersity for study to the pupil. Whatever pro- moter mental exertion omes a teacher for the mind. Teachers and pupils are workers and thinkers together, and not independent workers. ‘The discussion upon this paper was postponed, and Rev. Cranres Bros, of Boston, Mass., was next intro- duced, who read a paper on “Moral Education in School.”’ He said the world was our schoolhouse, God was our teacher; and the Bible our text book; and yet there were two millions of children in our country who cannot rea or write, He thought it was a natural and important | mecting to order, it was declared that a debate upon the most of our remaining | fuil. _ were in the habit of appl; eat elclan or conjuror, who poms pesky ets, 60 faz as developed, are uricly us Me Rasiwarii eben ve : rustworthy » On & neighboring stati having received pledges ot ee Ee istence of cons] ‘y to an oversecr, iad requested him to repair to a certain place in the midet of o dark unfrequented swamp, and see for himself. The overseer did not go, but the next morning he took with him some friends, and went to the spot designated by the faithful negro. ‘There they saw every indication of a lange crowd having been assembled; horses had been tied up, fires kindled, and from fac pean they calculated that up- wards of one bundred negroes bad there assembled on the preceding night. ‘They left the spot, and the borbood was quickly alarmed. Several negroes were up, and among them the leader, or old conjuror. ‘The greulest excitement was prevailing in the country. A couneil was held, ond it was decided that the negroes shoutd be hung immediately. Kopes were procured, and the sentence of the council was about to be executed, when the crowd relented, fearing leat the innocent should perish with the guilty. ‘The negroes were then severely whipped, and they con- fessed that the conspiracy extended throughout @ large section of country; that there existed several other organizations, which they catled ‘‘schoola,”’ in the neigh- borhood, and that their object was to 1 ize in auffi- cient force and march, increusing* their force as they, went, to a free State, No arms or ammunition of any kind could be discover- ed, but the negroes confessed that they were to moet at Garlandsville next saturday night to makea start. When asked why they relecied that place as a rendezvous they could. give no reason, end the presumption is that intended to sack the place aud murder the inhabi- tants. Two whiie men, they say, bave been among them, but thelr names were not known by the ees, nor was anything developed which could itentify them. Arms end ammunition are probably concealed some- where, as such # scheme would never have been attempt- ed without them. Ht is supposed that such an organization or ‘school’ exists near Chunkeyville, in this county, and we recom- mend that a vigilan: system of patrols be at once adopted throughout the country. Suspicious characters and known abolitionists exist among us, and we cannot be too vigilant in watching over our slaves, and thereby pro- tecting them from the vile intiuences which are known to exist fn our county. A DrsrrraTR Rogur Cavent.—Captain Tarlton and officer Moore, of the harbor police, yesterday arrested a sailor named Frank Johnson, who has committed various crimes within a iT or two. About two heres ago the vessel to which he bel was lying in the port of Suvanneh, when taking umbrage at a real or supposed injury done him by the captain, he set fire to the ship and ran away. He was caught, however, and placed in the Savan- nah jail. After afew days confinement he set fire to the jail and escay Subsequently he shipped on board the brig Eliza at Jacksonville, Florida, and sailed in that vessel to New York. le lying at that port he stole from the brig a boat, watch, spy- giaes, and $175 in money. With this booty he escaped, and landed in the night back of Brooklyn. Here he found peels, of rascals to share the plun- der, with which they went over to New York. The money which he had was goon squandered, and he again engaged himself to sail in the ship Chats- worth. He made a voyage in that ship to Liver- question, what should be done with these? They were growing up without any moral culture, and something | pool, and back to this port, when he was arrested it to be done. He was in favor of a law forging every | ag above stated.

Upon calling the payers of the morning was the first in order. A discus- sion hereupon arose, in the course of which Dr. LAMBERT gave a disquisition on the physical character of the human form. While speaking upon the paper of Mr. Brooke, read during the morning, Dr. Lambert recom- mended teachers to use eggs, oatmeal, oysters, and phos- horic food; 20,98 an illustration of the virtue of such which would be best. acquired by observation and pals declamation, He brought up several instances in history of great orators who had been made by debat ‘ocieties. Burke owed bis success to this, and said himself, that the debating society made Chatham the most gifted ora in the world. ‘In our own history, Henry Clay stood illustrious example of what had been done by de- beting societies. Born without patronage, without wealth, without influence in his education, being all to acquire, only a knowledge of a little Latin and less Greek, he went into the reagan | rociety, and came out of it the leader of the orators of the land. Debating societies were again valuable, because they taught partion entary law—a subject well worth learning, especially in our country, where every man might be a legislator. Again, debating societies taught order, which was applicable to the business of every day life. All well organized de- hating societics furnished numerous advantages, of which the above were only a few. Mr. Arnott, of this city, thought the resolution most appropriate. The Seligion of the Bible was the founda- tion ot American pes. Mr. Mite, of Indiana. stated that the Board of Educa- tion of his State had placed the Bible in the schools, as the head of all the text books. (Applause.) Bishop Porm, of Penusylvania, said il wus a porten- tious question that we are deciding now. It was a most portentions question to say that religious instruction should form the chiet clement in our public schools. ‘Lhere was a beticr school for religion than our public sehcois, and that was the family. He was opposea to sounding aloud a proclamation that promises more than could be accomplished. Be hoped God would save the public schools from the stormy regions of polomize. Tyon motion the further discussion of the subject was postponed, ‘This paper was then declared to be a subject of discus. sion by the audience. Prof. Grsaiar, of Brooklyn, then made a fow re- marks upon the subject, and on behalf of the commit- tee requested a copy of Sr. McElligott's paper for publi- cation. Mr. Woorwort, Principal of the Normal School of Al- bany, made s few remarks upon the paper of Mr. Me- E it. He endorsed the views he had suggested. ‘There institutions—if debating secieties could be called institutions —were already in exisience in great numbers, ES Caer e ee ee rere ea ee aie SIRE ts UISDECES cS RSIS SS SeenON Sv ASS ASS SS ne COOLS SE SECEDE SSN SS SS iS i ales amen > eevee eat eee a & ties there —Bo ton Advertiser, Aug. 25.

Mr. Tucuanns, of Wachington, took exceptions to the suggestions of this paper. He did not look with much favor upon debating socictics. He thought our public talked too much already. Our Congressmen could all testify to this. ‘They found specchmaking not a very comfortable businesa after all. They led to a supercili- ous, hypocritical sort of character and disposition, and debating upon sides where the feelings were not enlisied was at the expense of truth itself. After some further debate the morting adjourned till evening. EVENING SESSION. ‘The company assembled punctually at T o'clock in thé evening, the audience being much larger than at any lime previous, there being present a very large number of ladies. Before entering upon the business of the evening the audience were entertained by some ringing by Miss Georgiana R. Stuart, a very pretty young lad and whose singing elicited the greatest praise, Profeskor CHARLES Davies then offered the following reeolution:— Resolved, That the sentiments expressed by our late President, Professor ache, in his recent address, that religious and moral instruction should form a prominent element in all our systems of public education is in ac- 4 cordance with the firm belicf and earnest convictions of this asnociation. Upon this resolution there came up a short debate, Mr. Raxpart, Superintendent of the public schools of this city, hoped that the resolution proposed would meet with the unanimous approval of this assemblage, It wae, in his view, the most important matter that had ever been bronght to the notice of the association, Professor F.
