The catalogues of Yale and other Northern armories of Sharpe's rifles, have but tew (shame anon those few) Southern names, lhe importance of emancipating ur young men from tMs bancftii influences of tho North and no where is this influenco more zealously exerted ana powciiui lv felt than in Noi thern colleges and under blactchc and church are in a way measurca for more fully bringing about an object so much desired. We have every reason to Delicti, ninc tit a onurw nf tho North very materially iUUli V--v w. changes and we a- forced to saj we see no nn- mediate chance for such a result mere i augurate 1 at tho South a system of education be in- con- genial to our insuiuuuu. We are proud of such names as Harvard and Tale; and feel that such benefactors of the human race should be held in everlasting remembrance by a grateful country. But their laudable objects arc-being frustrated by the lanatics that have obtained possession of the government of the schools tueir charity has founded, for the benefit equally of the l6 oimer and the slate hirer.

At the former, the South is in-suited by the dismissal or an instructor for his constitutional duty as a judge and at the latter i he Southern young men see professors and in the name of the college nav, of the very cla of which they are memhera buying religious rijle to shoot their own brothers that may be seeking honorable and profitable employment in Kansas. These colleges have been turned from their legitimate channels and been rnrtrortrl intn Btrfino-lmlds of fanaticism and from 0 of bleeding Kansas Then, when our fathers and guardians see such a state of things it is not to be wondered at that our Southern colleges are so largely Southern seminaries of all grades full to overflowing. The cause is palpable a determination to free ourselves from Northern thraldom and stop the revenue accruing to their abolition treasuries from the labor of Southern slaves. It is a praiseworthy object; and we glory to see this great reaction in the proportionate numbers of Northern and Southern schools. But the onestjon occuip, arc we entirely rid cf Northern hiSuenca in the South Can North Carolina tell the world that her seminaries cf learning are free from the corrupting influences cf black Republicanism, and Southerners can receive Southern education unmixed with instructions hostile to the feelings and opinions their parents have instilled into thcra? Nay.cah the Trustees of our own State University invite pupils to the institution under their charge with the assurance that this main stream of education contains no deadly poison at iis'fountain head? Can boys be taken from Northern colleges and transferred to our University with perfect security? We have been 'ed to these considerations, Messrs.

Editors, by an article headed Fremont in the South in a late issue in the Standard, andmore particularly the following closing paragraph "If there be Fremont men among us, let them be, silenced or required to leave, lhe of Hack Republican opinions in our midxt is incom- patiblc with our honor and safety as a people. I at all necessary we shall refer to this matter again. Let our schools and seminaries nf learning be scrutinized and if black Republicans be found in them let them be driven out. That man is neither a Jit nor a safe of our young men, who even inclines to Fremont and black Republicanism." We were very much gratified to notice this article in your paper at this particular time for we have been reliably informed that a professor at our State University is an open and avowed supporter of Fremont, and declares his willingness nay, his desire to support the black Republican ticket and the want or a Fremont electoral ticket in North Carolina is the only barrier to this Southern professor from arrving out his patriotic wishes. lie fit or safe instructor for our young men If onr information be entirely correct in regard to the political tendencies and Fremont bias of this rofessor, ought he not to be required to leave," at east dismissed from a situation where his poisonous influence is so powerful, and his teachings so antag-onisticnl to the honor and safety of the University and the State Where is the creative 'power To them we appeal.

Have the' no restrictive clause in the selection of instructors or limiting code in regard to their actions If the Trustees or Faculty have no powers in regard to the matter in question, we think it a fit object of early legislation at the next meeting of our General Assembly. This ought and must be looled to. We rnvnt hate certain ntcurity, 'under existing relations of Xorth with South, thai at State Cni tersities at leaU tie will h'tve no c-iuktr-icorm prey' ing at the very titals of Sauthern institution. Upon what ground can a Southern instructor, relying for his support upon Southern money, selected to iniirt healthy instruction to the sons of South-em state owners, and indebted for his situation to a Southern State, excuse his support of Fremont, with a platform which eschews the fathers of his pupils and the State from whose University he received his 6tation, and from hose treasury he supports his family? Does he lell the young men that he is in favor of a man for the Presidency, nominated by men whom their fattier could not nor would it sit in Convention with placed upon a platform hostile to their every Sparest; its separate planks put together by the vilest Southern-haters of the North, upon which all the ism of Yankeedom find aid and comfort; whose Cabinet, in the event of his election, would be composed of such men as Speaker Banks, who is willing to "let the Union slide and Mr. "Niag-; ara" Burlingame, who demands an "anti-slavery-Bible and an anti-slavery God whose orators belch forth vile slanders upon the South under flags whose venomous folds reveal but sixteen stars, and whose torch-light processions do not march under the flag nor keep step to the music of the Union Does he read the following extract taken from his candidate's letter accepting the nomination "lam opposed to slavery in the abstract and upon principle, sustained and made hahitval by hmg-utthd convictions Are theme the doctrines he advocates to young men, two-thirds of wltosc properly consists in slaves? It cannot be denied, by any person cognizant of college influences, that each professor has his quota of friends and admirers among the students, and their minds are to a certain degree, upon general subjects, merely daguerrotypes of his opinions.

This is natural. The student is young, and the instructors are placed over them, in loco parentis, to guide them correctly; and the young graduate leaves with opinions moulded by his instructors that will cling to him through life. We R8k, are we correctly informed concerning- the political inclination and expressed opinions of this professor If not, we hope to be corrected and if wo are, we call upon tho proper authorities to take action, for the sake of the prosperity of our Alma Mater and the good of the State. AN ALUMNUS. For the Standard.

Pineburieal Observations and Cogitations. Mr. Printurs of the Standard: As I suppose you are about done reviewing the field of action, and as we are about to commence the fight Ibr the November victory; and as Democracy always gives a hearing to the views and reviews of commoners like myself; and as some apology is due for mr not writing during the camoaiarn therefor eeneral in our end of the State. Imniediatcly after the Greensborouglr Convention (which" held forth on the fence between the east and west) Gilmer seemed to "catch events, in their approach with full and apt presentiment," and, like a feneral already defeated, fled to the mountains. ere, like Stockton with the Union, he tried to scotch a land-slide cf Whigs with his own body; but it run right over him and mashed him fiat as a paocak.

Not only be, hot the whole party, seem- 1. I xr mil TnO- and we notice, with a high degree of gratitude to Bishop Polk, ol Louisiana, that the clergy and oi taivins coiiccntu being great links of union between all parts oi our country, have become hot-houses for the nurture cf artilicial statesmen of the Garriscnian school and ed to place their hopes the mountains" verily these people imagined a vain thing "1 could fre-quently-learn, by public and private intelligence, of the ringer-in-gencral ringing and ringing and ringing through the The bell at Salisbury jingled and jingled and jingled while the ringer's little man-Friday became more eloquent than I ever heard him before. He became more terrific and terbific as time rolled by.and the election came on. Gen." Leach went about doing good, i. speaking at school-houses and by-corners, in orderjo get these places addressed beforeour elector got out; telling that Frank Pierce came into thcPresidency only as a county court lawyer, and that the charges of secrecy, dark lantern, kc, all amounted to this that the members had pledged their lives and fortunes that thev would to the Union to the last," and much more of the same sort.

He too, ranged high up, close to the border of Clingman's District. Verily these people imagined a vain thing." Seeing things taking this course, I thought to write to you frequently if not oftcner, and tell you of the frantic wiggle of the serpent's tail in the west, while you "bruised his head" in the east. I thought there was going to be great discussions, exciting limes, But things turned out so that those who had joined the knock-kneed party from good motives, havng been fooled so often and finding it so difficult to keep up with the changes of their leaders, became so vexed and perplexed that some came out honestly and cussed" the whole affair; others who wanted to appear consistent, though far. off the track, concluded to "lump it;" while others finding themselves bit," and not wishing to tell it, remained right still, and said nothing, and did not vote at all while the Democrats, with the pride of faith and certainty of being right, walked up and put in their votes as if nothing had been the matter. The opposition tried to get up an excitement among the terrified; but it was no go.

Jing'er and Friday did all they could; but they found that they had "imagined'a vain thing." Friday came out nonestly and acknowledged that the mass meeting a few days before was, to some extent, a failure;" but Jingler talked like it was about as large and enthusiastic an alfair as ho had ever seen, i le has'nt been far from home. A respectable orator said that Buchanan done more to fix the charge of bargain and corruption on Mr. Clay, than any other Democrat and that Clay never spoke to him afterwards." They hammered on that old "ten cents" until it got so thin that every body could see through it. The people were told that the Catholics had piled up Bibles on the American shores and burnt them. One orator set up the most pitiful and pathetic howl that I ever heard from a stump, either hollow or solid, and exclaimed How long before you could not say, this is r.iy own, my native land But the people were not so easily scared.

When Gilmer's mouse tale and Gen. Leach's louse tale, and more cf the same sort, were resorted to in order to divert the people from more grave enquiries; but this was no go "they had imagined a vain thing." Some tried to hold up for the old Whig party, hut finding it too weak, and finding themselves abused by the upstart party eo much worse than they ever had been by the Democrats, they finally come entirely over to us. The ureachers." too. did their part "and thereon hangs a tale Return our thanks to Hon. L.

O'B. Branch for documents sent us during the campaign, and tell him if he has any copies of the last annual message of the President to send them on for Mr. Pur-year did not send the last annual message as he did the others. Why he did not, I pretend not to know." Farewell. SCOUT.

Value of the Uxiox to TnE North. We invite all patriots, all considerate and conservative men at the North, to reflect calmly on disunion, now that disunion is so seriously threatened by the dominant party of the North. Independent of a civil and fratricidal war that is likely to ensue, and not likely to end look at its other certain and probable effects on the wealth, prosperity, morality, religion, and good government of the two sections. First, what is the value of the cotton crop to the North, and how can she get along without il? We think it forms so large an item in the industrial pursuits and means of livelihood lo the large masses in the North, that, were the supply suddenly rut oi'F, immediate famine would be the consequence. Cotton goods buy much of the food for her population, and without those goods they would be without food or clothing.

Sugar is another large and important article, and becoming daily more fo, from its increased production in the South, and its diminished production in the West Indies. Corn and Flour can always be obtained on better terms from the Southern Atlantic States than from the North-West; and, indeed, without the Cotton of the South, the North would have little to exchange for Western products of any kind. The Mechanics and Manufacturers 6T the North would iose, by disunion, Ihcir only good and reliable maiket, for the West will soon become rather a competitor than a customer. Free society find rivals and competitors in Tree society, customers and a market, only in the general, in Slave society. The shipping interest of the North would soon find, if divided from the South, their ships rotting at their wharves.

It is the heavy agricultural products of the uth that furnish their outward freights, and purchase their homeward cargoes. The largest, the richest mercantile marine in the world, is that of the North. Disunion wipes that out. Separated from the South, the Mercantile interest at the North would be far too great in numbers and in capital for their restricted market. Very general insolvency of the merchants would soon occur.

Merchants, mechanics, manufacturers, ship owners, sailors and operatives ruined and dispersed, who would rent the houses? There would be a great redundancy of houses, and defic ency of tenants, and competition, among house owners, would reduce rents so low as hardly to pay taxes and keep the tenements in repair. Your cities deserted, what will become of that numerous class of farmers, gardeners, who supply your city markets? They too must be ruined. The ruin, material and physical, would be universal, with no South open as now, in which the ruined may retrieve their fortunes. How many thousand Northerners find annuall-, respectable and profitable employment at the South Disunion cuts oil' this field of adventure, irdustry and enterprise, this outlet for a surplus population. If disunion occur, it will be ushered in under the banner of black Republicanism.

The mora', religious, social and governmental principles of that party, will infect and control all your society. Go ask Parker and Beecher, Garrison, Brigham Young, the infidels, agrarians and Free Loves, what those prin ciples are. A constituted anarchy is the only government that can be created from such materials, to be followed, close on the heels, by a self elected despotism." Disunion, for a while, would puzzle the South as to what to do with her surplus ats, graip and j- cotton but if she did not expire from plethora of iuu iUiuiui ui me, sue wuum buuii ucgci a iiuiuc market for her surplus agricultural products, by rearing up at home, a mercantile, shipping, mechanic and manufacturing interest, equal to those she now employs and supports from abroad. The North has taunted the South for many years, for neglecting to diversify pursuits ancl become independent. We hope she will not compel us to remove the taunt, and follow her example.

Rich. Enquirer. Douglas Jerrold, one of the famed clique of London Punch satirists, is coming to America to. lecture. Jerrold commenced life as a sailor, and after six years salt water experience became a compositor in a London news paper office.

His first literary achiev-ment was an essay on German music, which the author after the manner of Benjumin Franklin, drop 1 Pe' ped into that lion's mouth, the editor's box. where 1 ne was a printer, and two dava after he ht th H. "gt ot setting up his own articlenone of the edi- tors oeing aware of the author's name. Jerrold next dropped another anonymous article in the box on Fashionable Charity, which- is written with all his peculiar vigor. This; caused so great a stir that the editor, in his notices to correspondents, begged the author to call upon him in other words, he was requested to Stand, and unfold yourself." He did, mueh to the astonishment of the editor, who at once recognising his talents, took him from the case, and put him to the desk.

Arrivals at New Orleans bring Galveston dates to the 11th inst, and furnish some interesting intelligence, for a summary of which we are indebted to the N. O. Picayune: The Galveston News publishes the following letter in relation to the lale contemplated insurrection in Colorado county Colvmbus, Colorado Cocxtt, September 19, 1S5C. Messrs. Editors The object of this communication is to state to you all the facts of any importance connected with a recent intended insurrection.

Our suspicions were aroused about two weeks ago, when a meeting of tho citizens of the county was called, and a committee of investigation appointed to ferret out the whole matter, and lay the facts before the people of the count for their consideration. The committee entered upon their duties, and in a short time they were in the full possession of the facts of a well organized and sy.stcinized plan for the murder of our entire white population, with the exception of the young ladies, who were to be taken captives and made the wives nf the diabolical murderers of their parents and friends. The committee found in their possession a number of pistols, bowie-knives guns and ammunit'on. pass-words of organization were adopted, and their motto, leave not a shadow behind." Last Saturday, the Cth inst was the time agreed upon for the execution of their damning designs. At a lale hour at night all were to be make one simultaneous, di-speiate dibi with from two to ten apportioned to neatly every house in the county, 4 kill all the whites, save the above exception, phiu-j der their take their horse- and arms, and tight their way on to a "free State, (Mexico.) Notwithstand ng the intense excitement which moved every member of our community, and the desperate measures to which men are liable to be U'djon by such impending danger to which wc had been exposed by our indulgence and lenity to our slaves, wc must say the people acted with more caution and deliberation than ever before characterized the action of any people under similar circumstances.

More than two hundred negroes had violated the law, the penalty of which is death. But by unanimous consent the law was withheld and their -lives-spared, with the exception of three of the ringleaders, who were on tast Friday, the 5th at two oSclock, P. hung in compliance with the unanimous voice of the citizens of the county. Without exception, every Mexican in the county was implicated. They were arrested and ordered to leave the county within five days, and never again I to return under the penalty of death.

There isom-, however, by the name of frank, who proven to be one of the prime movers of the affair, that was not arrested, but we hope that he may j'et be, and have meted out to him such reward as his black deeds demand. We arc satisfied that the lower class of the Mexican population arc incendiaries in any country where slaves arc held, and should be dealt with accordingly. And, for the benefit of the Mexican population, wc would here stale that a resolution was passed by the unanimo'is voice of the country, forever forbidding any Mexican from coming within the limits of the county. Peace, quiet and good order are again restored, and by tho watchful care of our Vigilance Committee, a well oiganized patrol and good discipline among our planters, we are persuaded that there will never again occur the necessity of a communication of the character of this.

Editorship. The following, from one of our co-temporaries, contains truths that may be appreciated by every editor Editorship. Wc have known a very learned gentleman to obligingly bring us a contribution with the remark, that as we were of course continually occupied, it must doubtless be quite an accommodation to receive a good article once in a while and on examining the "good" articles in question, wc have found three gross grammatical errors, divers sins of awkwardness, and two words mis-spelled, in the first and second sentences. A lecture, which will bear printing as it is delivered, isan exception and, in a word, there are very few men, who have not served a regular apprenticeship to the types, who can sit down and, without "halt or let," express their thoughts readily and fluently in writing. Yet with all this, we daily meet with gentlemen who, because they have made an occasional hit, in a letter to a friend, or have elaborated a drawling story or poem in some incautious paper, talk daringly and dashingly of journalism, and graciously inform us how they would make things fly round, if they were only editors.

Singular every man, no matter how stupid he is, always seems to be morally convinced that if everything else fails he can either manage a small farm or edit a paper and experience shows that where there are a huudred educated young men capable of successfully practising a profession, there is not more than one or two who is really enough of a genius, a scholar, and a man of practical sense, to make a good editor. In fact, though all the world read papers, there are very few oat of the business who have ever taken the pains to acquire much information relative to it and the natural consequence is, that its difficulties are unappreciated. Hon. Thomas Bragg, the able an popular Governor of North Carolina, is in Petersburg at present, sojourning with his brother-in-law, James E. Culh-bert, Esq.

He is enjoying excellent health, and despite tho cares of office, time seems to have deal gently with him, PeU Ex. of. Wed.
