Tits: War Till: Viaiutucs Coiiizliirrss Ac't'.—A correspondent of the New Or- leans Picayune, writing from San Francis- co, oii the 5th ult., says the modus operandi of trials for capital otl'ences by the Vigil- ance Committee appear to be: A coiiiiiiit- tee of inquir , consisting of nine, first hears all the evidence, on both sides, which evidence is subiriitted to the executive of twenty-nine, who give their verdict on it.

It is not to be supposed, however, that the item.-r:il system of education has acquired it per- fection to which nothing can he added; and that the boon (which in the provisions of Free Educa- tion conferred upon the rising generation) is coin- inensnraie with the wants of .-ill, while many are iiiiiihle to participate in the ample means of instruction provided.

It cannot be concealed, however, that there are many parents who sdrnit sod feel their respiins_i- blllly, but who IIGVEIIIIQIIQII are unable, either from poverty or ignorance, to discharge the ohli. giitions they owe their children or to obtain for them that instiucttoii which they need.

. that it service so useful and itnportaiit as t c instruction of the rising generation, should meet with so sinple reward, is what ever one might be inclined to expect. lidoes not follow, how- ever, that the general opinion. about the nature of this reward, is uniformly correct, or that those who serve in this department receive that recom- pense which the nature of their labours might teach them to anticipate. It is evident ihiit the present scale of salaries. is insufficient to retain the services of efficient and well qualiﬁed teach- ers. and it consideration of the fact that the most eﬂicieni and successful teacher is placed on a level with the most ineﬁrcient and unsuccessful is manifestly degrading, and that a grsdustion of rules in accordance with the efficiency and qrraliﬁcaiion of teacliers (it must be obvious) would only bejust and equitable, and could not fail of pﬂiirding general satisfaction, for no con- scientious teachers would scruple to submit his qualification to a test, were he assured that his reward wulild be in proportion to his merits.

The preceding remarks have reference chieﬂy to an intellectual, soil it moral education. But iliere is no view in which education appears more valuable than in connection with religion.
