vised and enlarged by a Speller and Defiuer.
1 have examined this school book with in-

is well arranged and well executed, and its
publication must be gratifying to instructors
of youth and to every friend of education in
the State. You, and the company with
which you are associated, deserve great
credit for your enterprise and perseverance
in the cause of education, and 1 hope that
you will meet the encouragement and re-

worthily and so successfully diiccted. i

Obituary.
Depart d this life at low twelve of the
31s. December ult., at his home in th>
Confederate Suty of America, after a long
and desperate attack of Taxation, Mr. C.
S. OLD lesiTG.
The subject of this notice was born of
t'ue most, respec'able parents at Richmond,
Va., iu the year I8G4 ; was a gentleman
of very amiable character: was well and
fimiliarly kno.Tfa both in America and lit
. the Old World, wa^ greatly respected and
much sought afier until h > formed an alli-
ance and was married to a daughter of
one of tbe first families of Mississippi,
Miss Repudiation; thi«lady who it seems
.married the Old Gentleman solely for his
M Wealth, spent such large suon wi h her
cousins the Mr's Sj-kcul^tors that ii soon
became apparent to all that hi* larg for-
tune would soon be expended and that be
would not be able to p ty more than (if! 2 8
cents on the dollar ; this produced a par-
oxism and the Old Gentleman has byea
liegerir.g under the treatment, of his Med-
*i :al advisers, Je!f. Davis and Co., until
the date a'>ove named, when h-, expired in
the a run cf h s fieuds. He was buried
with the honors of State beneath the polit-
ical fabric at. Richmond.
Soon after the Old Gentlemen's paroxism,
his Fascinating Lady gave birth to a New
Issue, bearing almost the precise resem-'
Jjlance to its Parent and bids fair to rival
"him in popularity, especially among his
worthy Cousins. Thus is the end of all
things. " Peace to his ashes."

The New York News in its article con-
cerniug the aspect of military affairs, alter
alluding to the extravagant reports as to
ttie great success of Thomas, and the rout of
Hood's army, say3 :
On the night of the eighteenth, the head-
quarters of General Thomas were "near
.Spring Hill." From the field of battle of
^the fifteenth, he had, therefore, advanced
B^wcnty miles. The sixteenth, the seven-
^P^n'th. and the eighteenth having been con-
^K.ttmed in his progress to that point, he had
Br^one forward, at, therefore, the rate of but
seven miles a day. The retreat of Hood,
we may conclude positively, from that fact,
to have been not only one of order, but one
of eveu firm and dangerous powers of of-
fense. Undoubted testimony shows, thus,
whatever else may be true or false in the
inflated bulletins of the last few days, that
Hood had not only not been "pursued."

1st. Kesolved by the Senate and House of
Representatives of the State o( Alabama
iuueneral Assembly convened, That this
State hereby reaffirms and reiterates her un-
alterable determination to maintain her
stand for the independence of the Confed-
erate States; and renews her pledge to her
sister States and the Confederate Govern-
ment, to sacrifice, if nece=sary, all her re-
sources to the common cause; and should
we ever be reduced to the extremity elect-
' ing between reconstruction on the basis
heretofore indicated by the Lincoln Gov-
ernment and its military authorities on the
one hand, and extermination on the other,
We will choose the latter.
R-solved, That the people of the
States hy fheir re-election of Abra-
ham L ncoln Pre-ident, have decided
again9t an armistice with the Confederate
Stat s, to negotiate for peace, uoon any
terms except such as embraced in the
aforesaid inadmissible basis, thereby
evincing a fixed determination to su'vju-
gite or de troy us and not permit any
Honorable peace to be made.

W a N rKD a', once by the
learner, is a matter of the very highest im-
portance, and the capital and enterprise
devoted to the accomplishment of this ob-
ject should be cherished and fostered with
pride andin a spirit of liberality by all. It
is practicable iu Texas not only to manu-
facture paper to a>:v considerable extent, J some slight dimness of vjsl<jB, couiinenc
but to publish all the elementary books " *' *-•••■-
needed for schools and academies. The
capital is here, and it only wants consoli-
dation and the application ot enterprise and
skill. The people of Texas are yet in a
better condition to prosecute such enter-
prises than the people of any other S^ate of
the Confederacy, and they should taka the
lead.
The cause of education is second only to
our success in the great struggle for nation-
al independence, and so every thinking
and reflecting man must own. Uur pros-
{•erity and respectability as a people in the
uture—the permanence of our institu-
tions—will depend greatly upon the train-
ing, the culture, moral aud intellectual, of
the boy-i and girls now growing up in
Texas. In the mld^t of the danger* and
excitement of the war. I fear that this sub-
ject is too much overlooked, eveu by pa-
rents, aud tho immediate guardians of the
young. The waves ot revolution may wash
over us and sweep away our property, but
all that is expended iu the cu'tureof the
youthful mind and heart i> a permanent
acquisition to society, aud like broadcast
upon the waters, that will be gathered up
many days hence No child in the State,
if within the powir of friends or parents to
prevent it, should be permitted to ptss 1
