Their characters and success in life will be greatly influenced by the kind of instruction they receive in these schools. We cannot estimate their importance too highly. They will exert a vast, perhaps a controlling, influence upon the future prosperity of our country. Every consideration of prudence, patriotism, and benevolence, demands that our common-school system should be encouraged and supported, that the employment of competent teachers may be secured. This could be done by giving them a just compensation for their services, and by a proper appreciation, on the part of the legislature and the public, of the dignity and value of their labors. and interesting statement of the expenses and condition of these prisons. Great interest is felt by a large class of our mechanics in the success of the Clinton Prison. The character of the labor of the convicts at that place conflicts less with the interests of some of our citizens, than the employments pursued in the other prisons. This establishment has heretofore been quite expensive to the state, and has been regarded as an unsuccessful experiment. The prisoners have been engaged in digging, separating, and preparing iron ores for the use of the neighboring furnaces. The depressed state of iron manufactures has lessened the demand for the ore, and the prices at which it is sold. The original plan of the prison contemplated the erection of the neces sary works for making iron, and manufacturing it into some of its ruder forms. The legislature, at its last session, made an appropriation for furnaces for smelting and manufacturing iron. These are not yet completed, but they will soon be finished, at a cost not exceeding the From Foreign Ports.. amount appropriated.
