To the Edilorof the Independent: All who travel in the Southern State* since the war can learn lessons, if they will, unknown to them before. Many have reported their impressions to you already, but all is not yet told. I am afraid the worst is yet unknown. Indeed, 1 thing the North knows less of (he actual South to-day than of almost any other portion Republicanism bears rt: reports itself to please itself. Counter authorities, especially from Democratic scources, are cast aside as unworthy of confidence, as uo doubt they often arc. But it is time one thing was told, and believed, too, cve-ry-where and that is, tlint reconstruction, so far, is a failure. It is a bad failure. From the sole of its feet to its head, if it have any head, there is no souudncss in it, none whatever. It begau where it should have left oft', with political organizations, with suffrage and sovereignty, when the first lessons in civilization ha.d not. been learned, had not been taught, and have not yet been taught.

The one ground of hope for the South is in her primary schools or would be, had she them in greater number. The North, through or in conjunction with the Freedmau's Bureau, has furnished the means and the teachers for a considerable number of schools of various grades and, so far as I have seen them, gcnera'ly of most excellent character. And that colored children and youth are susceptible of the highest culture, under suitable in fluences, can be no longer doubted. I never saw a finer school than one of colored pupils iu Charleston. But a thousand teachers and schools arc needed where only one is found. In 1807 Governor Piuckney, iu a mess-, age to the Legislature of South Carolina,set forth in most forcible and eloquent language the importance of a a school system that should put a good common education within reach of every citizen in the State. Of course, he meant ouly the white population. But that was more than sixty years ago two generations of white and three of colored people have passed away, and no such system has ever becu enacted. And the other day I heard two members of the present Legislature in earnest conversation as to how the subject can be approached with most hope of success in the November session.

The Manners of General Jackson. The manners of General Jackson were remarkable for their elegance though most dignified, they were so kind as to put every visitor at his ease. The courtliness of old Hickory is a strong proof of his having been one of nature's noblemen for he lived all his younger days amid the roughest scenes in Kentucky.

The following story was told us a few months since by a venerable gentleman, whose word is a guarrauty for its truth. We publish it: for nothing concerning the pcrsohal characteristics of so great a man as General Jackson should be allowed to perish.

One of the leaders of fashion in this country, forty years ago, was the beautiful and accomplished Mrs. of Maryland. This lady spent some time in Europe while General Jackson was President, and from her connection with one of the most renowned families of the British peerage, she saw more of the aristocratic world than falls to the lot of most American ladies.

Wishing to find out what impression the General had made upon her, he asked her what she thought of him,

with him, and compleated her eulogy thus: "I have traveled extensively, and have been at most of the courts of Europe, but at none of them have I ever seen a man who in elegancc of manner? could compare with General •Tack?on.—Korfnll Jo vnta I.

For, if we can not have educated suffrage, let us at least have Mayors, Aldermen, Senators, Judges, and Governors who in public and political affairs can discern between their right hand and their left.

Accordingly, soon after her arrival she went to Washington to deliver the message of the King. She had never seen General Jackson, but she had heard so much to his disadvantage from his political adversaries that she was not much prepossessed iu his favor. Nevertheless, as she had determined to risk a visit, she sent, for James Buchanan to introduce her.

Left alone with old Andrew, she, with some tcrpidation, delivered her message to the man whom she had been taught to consider sort of a wildcat but she was so much reassured by his captivatiug manners that she soon lost all dread of him, and entered into a conversation which lasted nearly au hour, after which she arose to leave, and the President escorted her to the door, where she found Mr. Buchanan waiting for her to .hand her to the carriage.

In all of them he exhibited the highest intelligence and capacity, and was one of those whose counsel was most confidently relied upon by successive administrations iu the management of naval affairs. Admiral Stewart was a member of the Democratic party, and a consistent supporter of its principles, and his name was not unfamiliar to the public as a probable candidate for the Presidency. But at that time, experience in civil affairs, was so generally deemed a requisite in a Chief Magistrate of the Fnion, that the eminent naval services of Stewart never received the recognition which many wished to give them. In 1S57, bein£ then the senior officer of the Navy, lie was placed on the retired list but though his advanced age and long services were the reasons for this action, and fully warranted it under the law, the gallant veteran was reluctant to be put "upon the shelf."

So, too, the grievously overburdened tax-payers of the country are waiting upon the slow moving finger of the dial which is in thc fullness of time to iudicate the conclusion of thc tired President's official career and complete the cycle of Radicalism. It is a weary waiting, but "time and the hour runs through the darkest day aud when the sun sets upon the last day of our present afflicting dispensation of corruption and mi-iulc, wc may look for such an outburst of enthusiastic rejoicing among the people as this land has never yet seen.
