ThK cgnrExARY FusD.-We understand that
the subscription Of the members Of the Methodist
Episcopal Church in this place to the centenary
fund, has far exceeded general expectation, amour
ting, a, present, to upwards Of one thousand doIs
lars. At a Camp Meeting in Hardy. says the
fomney Inieiligencer, the sum of eight hundred
dollars was subscribed. The Centenary fund Of
the Wesleyan Society in England amounted 70 more
than a million Of dollars, nearly one-haf of which
has been paid to the treasurer. Al meeting =
the Wesleyan Methodisis at Montreal, .. c., on ths
dth inst, the donations amounted 10 : $50. Sim

PROMOTION OF EDUCATION.

We c~heerfully give place TO the following call for
a National Convention to discuss the subject OF
Elementary Education.
To his ExceHency the Governor Of Pennsylra-
mia, and tie Members Of the Legislature of that
State:
FELLow-CITIzEEss-At the ninth annual NEE
ting Of the American Lyceum, held in the city OF
New York on the Sd, 4th, and 9th of May, 1853,
the following resolutions, proposed by Professor
Brooks, Of Massachusetts, were maturely ccnsid-
cred and unanimously adopted, viz:
.Resolred, That it is expedient to hold a Na-
tional Convention for one week in the Hall of In
Dependence at Philadelphia, beginning on the Odd
of November next, at 10 o'clock, A. M, for the
purpose Of discussing the various topics connected
with elementary education in the United States.
"Resolyed, That a COMMITTEES Of five be appoin-
ted to request the Governor (and, if in session, the
Legislature) of each State in the Union to invite
the friends of education in their States TO attend the
Convention"
The undersigned, having been appointed TO form
the Committee, do now, in obedience 10 their in
structions, respectfully address you on this para
mount subject.
The American Lyceum, in taking measures TO
carry into effect the above resolutions, expresses It's
deep anxiety for the proper physical, Intellectual,
and moral culture OF every child in the u. States.
Ii is asceriained that as many as nineteen out OF
twenty children who receive instruction receive il
in the common schools. These schools, therefore,
must be with us the hope Of civilization, liberty,
and virtue. To elevate them, so as to meet the
wants of our Republic, is the high and single aim
of the Convention. Parties in politics and scots IN
religion will not for a moment be recognised in any
form. No power will be vested in the assembly.
Ii will be, we trust, a company Of philanthropists,
| patriots, and Christians, coming together ia the
| spirit Of an expansive beneyolence, to consult for

Martinsburg gazette. [volume] (Martinsburg, Va. [W. Va.]) 1833-1855, 1839-10-03

We learn from he Norfolk Beacon that an ARRAY
took place at Edenton, N. c., on Friday last, in
which Mr.. Bland, the Postmaster was stabbed
through tho body by a man named Whitaker BEN
bury. II appears that Mr.. Bland was engaged in
opening the mail, with closed doors, when Benbu-
~ knocked at The office and demanded admitisnce,
which was refused. Benbury then broke open the
door, and on his refusal to leave tho house, Mr..
Bland attempted to put him out by force, when he
sss slubbed through tho body. Fears were enter
tanned that Mr.. Bland would NOT recover,
