TIE REMAINS OF NAPOLEON.

The Belle Poule frigate, commanded bv
the Frface de Jolnvllle, arrived at Cher
bourg on the goth inst, bearing The re-
mains. The prince Immediately despatch
ed to the Minister of Marine report Of
his proceedings, from which the following
is an extract;-
" At midnight, on the 10th, the opera
tion oil eXhumailon commenced in the pre-
sence OF the French and English commits
sloners, M. de Chabot and Captain Alex
ander, ol the royal engneers-the works
were directed by the latter. As M. de Cha
bot, renders TO the Government circum.
stantal account Of the operations TO which
he was an eye witness, conceived myself
with saying that al ten in the morning the
coffin was found in the grave. After ha-
wing raised 1t intact, ii was opened and tho
body was found in unhoped for state of pre-
servation. At this solemn moment, al the
s'6ht Of th0 easily recognized remains OF
nm who had done SO much for the glory
OF France, the emotion was deep and una
nlmous, At half past o'clock, the guns
OF the forts announced to the ships and
vessels in the roadstead that the funeral

wards Jamestown. The militia and the
troops Of the garrison preceded the car,
which was covered with pail, the corner
Being borne by Generals Bertrand and
Courgaud, and Messrs. De Lascases and
Marchand, the authorities and a crowd of
the inhabitants following. The guns of
the frigate having answered those of the
tort, she continued to fire minute guns
From the morning the yards were sung
and the flags hoisted half mast high, as
signs OF mourning, in which the foreign
ships and vessels joined. When the pro-
cesslon appeared on the quay, the English
troops formed double line, through which
the car passed slowly to the shore. AT
the waters edge, where the English lines
had terminated, had collected all the Of
ficers of the French division, waiting in
deep mourning and heads uncovered, the
approach of the coffin. When within
twenty PAGES of us, it stopped, and the go
vernon, advancing 10 me, delivered up
to me, IN the name Of his government, the
remains of the Emperor Napoleon. As
soon as the coffin was lowered into the
boat Of the frigate prepared 10 receive it,
the general emotion was again renewed
the dying wish Of the Emperor Napoleon
began to be accomplished-his remains re-
posed under the national flag"

The following beautiful passage occurs
in the late Message Of Governor Wallace
of Indiana, to the Legislature Of that State.
1t is we'll worthy the intelligence and patri-
otlsm Of all enlightened Legislatures.
Our State never attain the proud distinction
we fondly anticipate for her. until an efficient system
of Common School instruction be established The
advantages of the higher institutions ofearnng ire ne
cessarily confined TO a favored few-the blessings of
the common school dispensed far and wide to the
o5scurest of the State and pervade all the sra
ia which compose the social fbric. They are emphat-
caly the colleges of the people. The men of taa for
est and The pralrieou support in peace and defence
IN war-shonld be furnis he'd with the means of edu-
eating their rising offspring Let the schoolhouse be
planted by the road side, and the love of its precepts
imbIbed among the dreams Of youth will survive the
cherished wishes of manhood The church of the H.
wing God will soon follow. The benefcient effect of
that wise policy viii be in the virtue and nte.
gence of the peoplein their enlightened attachment to
Their country, and to the free institutions which exa
1t. fsuch means ofimprovemrnt were at work eve
ry where in the Union, the days of the Republic will
not soon be numbered. Her course would be onward
and upward, ane it would be idle a presumption to
attempt TO arrest it, it would be to aspire to chain
the tides, or imprison the winds of heaven.

svolving upon them. II should be the ann
of the friends Of education to make the bu-
sinsss of teaching profession, or if this
object cannot be fully attained, the nearer
it can be made TO approximate to it, the
better will the interest Of common schools
be subserved. ifteachers were to sci them
selves apart 70 the business Of teaching;
make ii the object of their pursuit in life,
and qualify themselves for this specific pur-
pose, the happy results to the cause Of ed
ucaiion would be incalculable. The inter-
est of teachers would then be identified with
the cause of education, and they would feel
their success in life TO depend upon their
reputation in the line of their profession.
There is perhaps, not one teacher among
a hundred, who follows the business oil tea
ching for any other purpose than atempo-
rary employment. Were it the case that
those who engage in mechanical pursuits,
or practice in professional business. fol-
lowed their respective avocations only as
temporary employment, there would be
but little improvement in the arts or in pro-
fessional science. 1t cannot be expected
however that the desirable improvements
in the qualification Of teachers, can be at
tanned without Legislative aid Two things
are necessary-frst: The education of
teachers should be provided for, and en-
couraged by appropriating portion Of the
public school monies to that object. Sc
cond-The literary qualification required
of teachers, should be raised to a higher
standard, than the present in order to enti-
tie district TO share in the public mo
MES.

GENERAL EDUCATION-No. 6.
Concluded.

The next effort Of the legislature, was
the creation Of board of Education, with
power to Recommend system of books
for use throughout the State. They ap-
pointed as secretary Of the board, the
speaker of the House, one Of the most po-
pular and talented neil in the State. But
their labors thus far in this respect have
availed but little, and there is reason to
apprehend they ever will. They have
now two we'll nigh impossible CULTS, to
pass through to attain their object, viz: the
pockets Of publishers and authors. The
multitude Of those who get their living in
this way, would not oppose the best sys-
tenn Of education, if it did not cut off their
hope of gain. But they have their presses
and their agents, in every part of the state,
and deposit their books at every store that
will accept of their conditions for retailing;
and no legislative action can countcract
their influence with the people.
Now we ale free from these distractions
and if the right system Of books can be
adopted and provided at such a rate, as to
prevent the cupidity Of Booksellers from
ever attempting to crowd upon us their
publications, this most important object
may be secured, and our territory delivered
from the evils which afllict other portions
Of the country.
But it may be objected that SUCH mea
sure would impart too much power to
small body of men. This objection would
have weight if their office were for life, or
if they were irresponsible for their acts, or
rewarded with sucn emoluments as would
attract the notice Of unprincipled avarice.
But while they are amenab'e to the Legis-
lature for their doings, and liable every
year to be removed from office, there can
be no great 'dunger Of corruption; besides
the question may we'll be raised Who
shall bear this responsibility? Shall it rest
upon the merchants2 De they make their
annual visits TO the east with minds so full
of mature reflection, as to redder them sa-
fer agents, than board appointed by the
Legislature and under their control2 Shall
it be left to the people. How is it possible
that they can be competent judges in the
case, when not one in hundred has ever
seen tenth part Of the books in use in the
different branches of study; and when null
titudes we know are regulated IN their
choice, by the saving of a sixPence in the
cost, without regard to the character of the
books. j. u. Z.

The above effusion will no doubt be as
founding to many of our readers, but we
hope no one will be alarmed for our safe
ty, though it might seem the days Of our
political existence are numbered. There
can be no longer any doubt, bu, that through
out all after time the tide of triumph will

the Milwaukee Sentinel, has vouchsafed

weeks since he entered the list Of party
conflict. Having in the. fist place ascer-
tanned that Gen. Harrison would be elected

10 the world that he would supper, him.

rcdy pictured to himself, whole hecatombs
of democrats in Racine county who will
soon have been demolished by his master
ly pen, nor will he fail to initiate his vision
with the wondrous wreaths Of political glo-

a gentleman who arrived in this city last
evening from Saco, the residence of Gov
ernor Fairfield, that Mr.. Miller, a messen-
ger despatched by Sir John Harvey, had
arrived in that town, bearing dispatches FOR
the Governor Of Maine. These despatch
esyannounced that regiment of British
troops from Quebec had arrived and en-
camped on the disputed territory. Mr. NJ.
also had dispatches from Sir John Harvey
which ne was to carry TO Montreal, to the
Governor General of the British Provinces.
We also learn from the same source, that
Sir John Harvey had transmitted, by mail,
dispatches 10 The same effect to Washing

late report Of the Directors of the canal
company, were not altogether satisfactory
10 the editor of that paper. We can as
sure the Advertiser, that we had no dispo-
sition 10 place any other construction upon
that document, than such as its .eading
warranted. Our remarks were strictly bas-
ed upon the evidence before us, and il they
were not in keeping with the wishes Of 9TH
ers, the fault is not ours. nor did it occur
to US, that any higher authority as TO the
purposes and future operations of the COM
pany would be adduced, than the report of
the Company's directors. Neither did our
remarks originate from any hostility to the
construction Of the Milwaukee and Rock
river canal-all we asked for, was the as
surance that the specific objects for which
the Company was created by the Govern
ment, were not TO be lost sight of, and 9TH
er objects made the primary aim Of the
Company's operations. These assurances
were not found in the report fthe Direct
ors; whether from design or oversight is
not for US to say.
We are happy to learn on the authority
of the Advertiser that there is but one feel.
ing on the subject at Milwaukee, and that
every effort will be directed to the compile
ton Of the sehoze canal as soon as practi-
cable.
