glat Let those deny it, who may, the
ake colored people are moving forward
wsce in lIanniony with every perceptahle
element of pro gess. Of this we
are sunrrundel with abunndant
i evidence u- undeniable, established
facts. The not balance of nearly
three millions of dollars in the
National Savings Bank, the earn
ings and savings .of those almost
exclusively who scarcely more than
a' ten years ago were dejimed goods
il- and chattls itand as such, declared
'rit to pos:;,ss nA rights which white
men were hound to respect, though
of silent, speaks with a voice heardt
ter the world ower, of the industry, Ii
i thrift and entrprise of the colored o
n people, and in no mean terms of
al their disposition to economize, ac
numulate and hIild up. Go wherea
they will, they carry with them the
Bible and Spelling-book, in no in
r stance leaving behind them the great a
immortal charter of freedom, the
L declaration of American Indepen
wv dence; and with these to'guide them,
Ile they go forward, cultivating thesoil
ig developing its resources, entighten
'nt ing the minds of their children;
ire and organizing creditbleo literary
n associations. They erect houses,
h lpurchase farms and pay for them
as others do. Eve'rywhere among
them ct'lurt:lles are lueing crected,
and their pastors are liberally sup
ported. Not only are prunary
schools organized, lilberally pltron
ized and suppolted ly them, but
they are establishing colleges and
universities of the highest grade, in
every quarter of the country. Per
haps the latest eflort of the kind,
e and one in whichl the people of this
community more eslweially have an
Simmediate interest, is thie one re
' cently to estallish an institution of
Sa higher grade of learning in the
city of SL Louis, under the style
and title of the Gaarrison University.
To J. A. Higgins, A. M., is dite the
Shonor of inaugurating this enter
prise, whose indomnitable will, con
rage, pluck and perseverance will th
eventually make a grand sunecess.
Five months since he olpened the

But to the mind of its President
it became a permanent institution

41(
i"Ijrge streams, from little fountains flow,
Tall oaks from little acornsa grow."
Impresced from the begnninning 6,
with its absolute neeesity, he had at
that one grand object in view-to Ibe
make it a suoe . Toobtain thatp
he bent all his energies. In les"

The riese of his enegie in the
founding of Garrison University,
which is now under the control of a
regularly and lawfully constituted
board of trustees. A charter will
be obtained at once, under the title
referred to, and measures will be at
once instituted by the Board, to
acquire property upon which to
erect suitable buildings. For the
present, t@porary quarters have
been obtained, and the young uni- 4
versity moving forward under the
shadow of the good old honored I
name of Garrison, and the' over- I
sight of an exemplary rdan, an ac

on the first Monday in September. t
With institutions like.this at home, r
where all the grades of learning are
successfully taught, the necessity I
for those to leave the State who de- o
sire to obtain an education does ti
not exist, and we cannot but hope g
that they will at once turn their at- e
tention to this institution. Its doors (1
will be thrown open wide enough o
for all. Its rules will admit both d
mal.es and females without regard ti
to race, color or creeds. The prin- 6
eiples of its character are as broad w
and as liberal as the Amended Con- w
stitution of the Republic, and the ca
only distinction whi4c. will ever be
made by its liberal-minded founders,
is in carrying out the requirement
of the charter, will be that of supe
rior merits. That, and that only,
will be duly recognized. La

ing and manufacture in that and

profitable industries before the war,
and 1861 the sugar product of Lou

410 hhds. For the two follbowing
years there are no ret.rns, but ins

of a marked improvement is said to be

ly, The mutual relatiops of the black r
and white race may be guided to at
the benefit of both, thinks the Rich- in
mond Whig, by a general adoption ut
of the golden rule-"Do unto oth- lx
era as you would have them do un- em
to you." We quote: em
To educate the negro, not only in in
letters, but in habits of thrift, en
economy and industry; to instill so
into him the desire to possess a in,
home of his own, and thereby to se
attach him to the soil; to bring up su
his children in the paths of virtue so;
tl- and rectitude; to make him realize re
that it is his duty to bear the bur- nn
ve thens, as well as to enjoy the bene- so
fits of the government; to cause
him to feel that be has a country to T'
serve, and that his higest'honor is Or
b_ "to act well his part," are duties a
which the white race owes to itself ME
as well as to the black; duties which, Va
ul if honestly performed will not only up
vs avoid the evils which naturally 6bl- sa
d low violent revolutions to those un- me
prepared for their results, evils ed
ht hied for and intended by our ene- of
miss, but will bring peace and pros- Go
perity to both races. Born under an
the same sun, raised and living to- er
e gether under the same rule, govern- ha
ed by the same laws, participating to
in the same prosperity, subject to do
the same reverses, the interest of s
the two races in Virginia, if not in- the
dentical, are so interwovep that, so MI
long as they live together, whatever ing
affects the one must effect the other.
