When 1 arrived withintwo miles of that town ii presented a «oet bean-tiTul appearance. It Uty to the aouth of me. Itwas cloudy aad comparatively dark around me, but over the town the clouds opened and let down a flood of sunlight in which the whole place sparkled and the spires and domes really glowed. It was a striking spectacle-lor you know that the University is there and the light of heaven and of. science scemeu to embrace each other.Oxford is one of the pleasantest towns in the whole Republic. It stands upon an elevated ridge from which the grouuds descend grace* fully in all directions. On approaching it horn three points of the compass it presents a raopt beautilul appearance The University stands on pleasant grounds, and the ample grounds toreverdry, decorated with plenty of tree.',afford a delightful retreat for learning. It is now rising in prosperty,and contains 180students. Chatles, Bingham a whilome Nonpareiller, ia doing well as a student. In connection with his studies be is leittng his radical light shine among the students. The University is sustained as a State College by the rent of all the landoi the Township which was originally given to this purpose. It is one ot the best townships ot land in the State. The iarms and town lots are occupied on a lease lor ninety nine years subject to revaluation every thirty yeara.Besides the University there is a female Seminary here with ,iS0 students, making 340 students in this single town.Friday noon I took the stage for Liberty Ia One of tho passengers was a Presbyterian clergyman who is traveling on some agency connected with the church. 1 found him to be a man of much talent and culture, and we talked over matters. We first discussed education but could not agree in all points. The only material difference was in making education an affair of State. He said very truly that it was the sole business of the State to govern, and that it was going too far in taxing the people (or education internal improvements, or any thing else except for (lie preservation of order — 1 told him that order could not be preserved without education, and the shortest method of diminishing the labors of the State w as in pre serving order to educate the people-He said that the State could only educate intellectually-it had nothing to do with morals, without which the people would only be intellectual devils, and order would not be thus promoted. 1 told him that these were the fundamental principles of duty which the teachers ot ail tree schools coaid inculca’e without invading religious sectarianism- But he said that the Bible was indispensible to a moral education and it wsb the duty of the Church to see to tiie true education of the people. True, I said, but because the Church neglected her duty, has grown up the necessity for State action- But while he acknowledged this, he said, that theState was now preventing the Church from coming up to her true position. And thus we talked. Among other things to illustrate his theory of government—a very good one—he cited the State indebtedness, incurred by violating the fundamental principles of government. That opened the field for me again- 1 told him that ail this was the result of Land Monopoly— that had the lands been purchased by none but actual settlers, or had all speculation in land been prohibited, and the whole soil, the gift of God to labor, been held sacred to human toil, there would have been no State indebtedness,ter I be people would have settled the country more compactly and could have carried improvements and a good market with them. 1 thought there was now a chance for a Land Reform dispute—but judge ol my agreeable disappointment when 1 found the clergyman agree ing to all I said, and rejoicing that Land Reform was becoming a popular measure-Then I turned to the Highest Steeple in Cincinnati— a steeple which lie had seen, and spoke of the unchristian rivalry among our churches He groaned inwardly and said that the church would “rue the day” when she commenced such an unholy contest. Said I, the city gives theology and manners to the country, and you must stand it. No, said he, the city church haa gone too far, and the good sense of the countrywill repel the corruption of the city. A sensible man. Thus you see that I could get up no discussion except on State Education—in whichI think be was a little behind the age.I lectured on Friday night in Liberty, walked to this place (14 miles) Saturday forenoon—lectured here last night, and shall go to several points in this (Wayne) county. 1 H.fAccident on tbs Hudson Rims Railroad.—1 he 8 o’clock tram (rom Troy, for NewfFork on Saturday, when about two mites from Oak kUsll mat auitli an fssv*uiAnt whicK nsaulfoirl L.
