A comparison was made between the two States of Alabama 'and Maine, with a view to substantiate this position. Prom the sta tistics furnished by the United States census we think it was tolly established that Ala bama, with a smaller -population and with her resources crippled by disas trous war and more disastrous aaniinis-tration of public affairs, did more in this di rection than the enb'ghtened State of Maine. As an impression is generally prevalent that tha South is far behind the rest of the country In its educational -facilities, it may not bo uninteresting to carry out the prom-ise'then -made and continue tha comparison ffln a larger scale; Tha figures "riH show that this impression, is-'-incorrect 'and that not only great injustice but positiye injury is done the South in this Pbr it is an injury even in material point of view.

To build up our waste places and restore the prosperity 'which we once enjoyed, itis necessary toadacate to the fullest extent the. young who. are soon to fill the places we now occupy. It is also, necessary to induce sturdy, vigorQus ahd energeticwhite laborers to settle among us. Now to: these we -offer every material in tha way of soil, climate and natuaal advantages.

But they require more than this. They demand good faculties for educating their children. The impression, therefore, that this cannot be had, works actual injury in its restrain ing, influence on desirable But it is not true, and as a proof that it is we continue our examination of the. comparative efforts in this direction made by the various sections of the country. We shall first take the census of 1860, The white population of 20 Northern States and 5 Territories was 18,023,629.

The 15 Southern States had a. white popu lation! of 8,009,171, equal to about: 42 1-3 jp6r centum of the population- of the North- em States-and Territories. The North bad 205 colleges, employing 1i07 teachers and with 29,044 students. The South had 262. colleges, employing 1488 teachers, and with 27,055 students.

Hera wa see that the South had a larger number of colleges and a larger number of teachers, "while the number of students was only 2,000 less. To enable our readers to give sthe ratio of these to population. The North had one Oollege for every 000 of its. white population. The South for every The Northern colleges had ona teacher to every 13,500, the Southern colleges to every 5,500 of the white population.

The Northern colleges had one student to "every 655, the Southern colleges had one student to every 296 of tho white poptila- tioh. $he sihcome of these Northern colleges was of the Southern La other words, the Northern colleges had an income of $1 for every 12J of the population. The Southern colleges had an income of $1 for every 4f of the population." The people of the North paid 8 cents per capita towards the, support of their while the South paid 21 cents per capita for a similar purpose. This difference appears more striking if we make a comparison which is in every a lau-er one, and lessrsusceptibla 1 Of sxplanatioh: and eouBeJn-jaio-4ibOTe-a- have taken the entire North and the entire South and compared them together. It may be said that the names college is given in many of the newly settled Southern State's to institutions which, ought to rank as only highly graded academies.

same is true of tha newly settled Northern States. But admit it, and yet we see that the South gave 2 times as much more per capita towards a higher education Of her children than the-North. The same objection however, cannot be made if we compare the six original, South ern States wth tho six New England States. Here we beard the lion in lis den. We go to the.

very abode of culture in this coun If the facts still show that the older States of the South gave mora attention to, and expended more money on thehigher education thaaNew England, then1 "we need make no further argument to. sustain our Wa again consult the United States census for 1860. The whitepopulation of the six New Eng land States was 3,110,572. Of the six Atlantic The'sa New" England States had "21 col leges, pr 1 for every 148,000 of their in habitants. These Southern States had 97 colleges, or 1 for every 82,400 of their iTtprmer employed 235 teachers, orl for-very 13,000 of the population The latter" employed650 teachers, cr'lfor every pf the population.

i Tha: number qt students in the former or jto every 835 inhabitants. In tte latter there- were 10,201 students, or one to very 310 of the population. The income pf the colleges in six New England States was $368,469, or 12 cents per capita. The income of the six Southern States was 876.725. or 28 cento Per capita; -u we maKe tne comparison with the other sections of the North, the comparison would show star more largely in favor' of the mth.

But we forbear. An examination of these, statistics will no doubt startle many even of our own. people, yhfrhave been in the nabitof takinga' con- trary state of things for granted.

For the first time in the history of the millions Of people who hold to tha Presbyterian faith end order, all the branches oi tne Uhurcn or um-ist who lay claim to a PreBbyterian'i orm of government are con vened, through representatives duly chosen, to take counsel, not merely as to the propagation of the gospel as interpreted by them, but to consider how widely-separated members of the great family to which they be long maybe brought closer together in the bonds of Christian fellowship.

America, its habitat includes Scotland," England, Ireland, tha West Indies, bouth. Africa, Australia, China and Japan, Syria, Belgium, Holland, Scandinavia, Austria, Prance, Germany, Italy, Spain, Bussia, Switzerland and Piedmont An English ecclesiastical statistician of accepted authority estimates its strength as1 follows Churches, ministers, members, 26,735,306 adherent population, we are inclined to think, however, that these statistics cover only those groups of tho Presbyterian family that bear the Presbyterian name.

The grand total of Presbyterian ministers in America is of congregations, 12,102 of members, 1,052,339. This body of Christians contribute in oneyearfor religious purposes, $14,512,198. or nearly S15 for each com municant They hold a larger amount of church property than any other denomination in the country, with one exception (the Methodists), and larger than the Boman Catholics by $3,000,000. Thesefacts are enough to establish the claim of the Presbyterians to. the respect of other Christians and to tho distinguished consideration of every friend of religion and the Bible.

The Jfresbytenans trace their ecciesasn-cal genealogy to the earliest days of the church, but the line of descent is not distinct to seoular historians until the Bef or-mation in the sixleent century, and modern Presbyterianism begins with. John Calvin r. .1 .1 JI 1 Tr owuzuriuuo. buu uiiix juiui ut Scotland.

At every period its history the characteristics of the church have been a learned and devout ministry liberty of thought, subordinate to gospel standards, uniting a large measure of local liberty with strict and authoritative supervision of its: exercise;" persistent opposition to the union of Uhurcu, and state staDiuty, progress and usefulness. It has been conspicuous history for devotion to the cause of liberty, and its church government is really republican in form. But great as has been its influence npon modem civilization and remarkable as have been its triumphs in the fields of Christian endeavor, the Presbyterian Church has no doubt fallen short of his pos sibilities in both respects by reason of a di vision of its strength and the iacK ot a general directing head. A comprehension of these) deficiencies probably had. something to da with the conception of a Pan-Presbyterian Council, which wns broached by Dr.

McCosh in this city in 1870.

Which slipped it into his pocket and slipped Off with; it a thing that often happens. The story or report as we first got was.

about this; Cob, John Snodgrass and Dr. Payne had been off on a fishing excursion somewhere near iieueionio, ana on. weir return home discovered some immense human tracks so very large, that they almost doubted tha truth, of their own natural eye sight. These tracks they traced through, a large cotton field belonging to Gen. Add White, where the bocks were deeply imprinted in- the soft earth.

Uponireacbing Scottsboro they reported what they hadseen, but the story seemed so incredible that hundreds of people went to see for themselves; and some, who could not go deputised editor cr tha PMIitnthnmid. to co and see for them, knowing that ha would make a report that all could believe. Be went, taking: with liimMr. CaldwolL He also took a tape, line, to make! accurate measurement, and, upon his returnt his report fully corroborated that of Messrs; Snodgrass and Payne. Later-wehava met with some reliable parties from Jackson county -and have learned a great deal mere about the giant.

"Wa find that the half had not been told us; and that there was no hoax about it, but a stem and fearful reality. Itis indeed a icatttu thins to know that suoh a monster is at large in any community. When it became known to everybody, the fear and anxiety became intense, and each day increased until it was finally- resolved that a general hunt should be made, and a desperate effort to; capture the horrid monster. Men feared tn. an nhroaa lest thevshould be gobbled up, for it was evident that tha creature, if he Was disposed to feed upon man, couia easily take one in at a single meal.

First, Cob Snodgrass, of the jueraui, took a spy-glass and a flag and went to the top of July mountain to reconnoitre, and to signal thnaa hnTow.

Tha huntsmen watched the movements of Che Colonel in breathless suspense and great anxiety for about twenty-five minutes, when their hearts vrere made to leap as he signaled that ha saw the giant of tha mountain, about sir miles away.
