fFor the American Republican,

MEssRs. EDIToRs,-Wll you allow me,
through your paper, to address few words of
remonstrance to that Branch of the Common
Council by whom the bill proposing diminu-
ton of the salaries of certain teachers in our
Public Schools, has yet to be acted upon'
What is the object Of the proposed reduction
is it TO bring about the resignation amy or all
of these instructors, whose peeuniary interests
will be injurously affected by the enactment!
If these gentlemen are incompetent, or have
been in any respect inattentive to their duties,
wosld it not he more Just as we'll as more ge-
nerous and dignihed to give them an opportu-
nifty of defending themselves, and then, if just
cause be ascertained to dismiss them?
But if this be not the reason, in the name OF
every honorable sentiment, what is the reason?
Is there a member of the Common Council who
seriously believes that these instructors have
been receiving more than just compensation
for their services? Have they been receiving
even that? Eight hundred and fifty dollars!!
Good heavens! What an amount for the sup
port of the family of man of education and
refined feeling! Nothing but the most rigid
economy will enable him even to uegetGte. But
must a man because he is teacher, be deprived
of all the delights of social intercourse and in
tellectual Spursuits7 His business, bringing
MIN lIllO CONSTANT COHtdCL Will CllluIeIl, Hds d
natural tendency to belittle the mind Nothing
but intercourse with books and men can coun-
teract this banefu result; result which, if un-
avoidable, will forever prevent men of intell-
gence, refinement and accomplishments, from
making the business Of instruction profession.
Why then should there be, on the part of the
Common Council, such false economy? The
raising Of a few hundred dollars for such city
as Baltimore is Of no importance, when COM
pared with what is just and wise. The true
policy is to obtain men Of intellect and educa-
ton to preside over the Public Schools, and to
pay them so literally that they shall feel, as
they are advancing in life, that they are laying
up little for a premature old age. The sala-
ries, therefore, instead of being diminished,
should be increased Instead Of being reduced
to $500, they should be raised to at least $1,000.
trust that the Common Council will weigh
the matter considerably and well, and, for the
sake of justice, nay, of dccency, will not per-
nit the bill to pass IN its present Objectionable
shape. And assure the members that have
no interest whatever in the matter, except that
which arises from an anxiety to see our city
standing proudly prominent in every thing no.

MINERAL WEALTH. On Lake Superior, at
Copper !iarbor, copper mine has been open

INDIAN DEPREpATIoNs IN FLORIDA. The
Indians are again becoming troublesome in
Florida, A few days ago, three men were
hunting ten miles from East Bay, when they
were fired upon by Indians, and one of them,
Mr.. Pitts, instantly killed, and his brother Sc
verely wounded. The other, Mr.. Silcox, es-
capped. AS soon as intelligence of the murder
reached Col. Crane, commanding the fortifca-
tons in Pensacola, he despatched detach-
ment Of men under the command Of Lieuten-
ant Donaldson, up Santa Rosa Sound, to ell
deavor to cut off this body of rowing Indians,
who are thus committing depredatons upon
unofending citizens.

THE BALTIMORE MARKET AND THE SPRING
TRADE. We notice that our merchants have
made the most extensive preparations for the
Spring trade, which has already commenced to
some extent, and bids fair to be unusually brisk
as the season advances. The supply of goods
in the city at present is large, and the assort-
ment beautiful and varied, so that Western and
Southern merchants, who may come hitler,
will find themselves equally as well. if not bet
ter suited, both as regards quality and price, as
they could be in any of the more Northern ci-
ties. On this subject we copy the following
paragraph from the Wheeling Times:
We gather from the Baltimore papers and
from private letters and circulars, that the stock
of dry goods, both foreign and domestic, in Bal
timore, for the spring trade, exceeds that OF any
previous year. The fact that goods can be
sent direct from Baltimore to the Ohio at Wheel
ing at very moderate price, with certainty
and speed, renders that market highly deslra-

story:
On Friday last, box was seen floating past
New Richmond. 1t was about the size of
large sperm candle box-say three feet long and
one deep. The inhabitants, supposing it cen
tanned merchandise, caught it up and towed it
to the wharf. Immediately, on taking off the
cover, imagine their CONSERVATION to find it
contained the dead bodies of two infants, and
the legs breasts and inner portions of the body
ofa grown female, undoubtedly the mother Of
the children The whole town was thrown in
to excitement, and DR.. Rogers was sent for, as
well as all the most prominent citizens Of that
place. The unfortunate mother-t was the
general opinion, was young-very probably the
victim of seduction, and while travelling on
boat, WAS cruelty murdered, with her babes.

To Mr.. Brown, Chairman Of the Committee on
Ways and Means, in The First Branch Of The
City Council.
SIR-From the high and responsible station
you occupy, as chairman of the committee Of
ways and means, the tar payers of the city of
Baltimore, have a legal and moral right
no matter in what ward they may reside
to consider themselves as your immediate
and personal constituents; that fact conceded,
our right respectfully to ask of you information
vitally affecting our interests, will we are sure
also be admitted by you, who no doubt acknow-
ledge and act on the maxim, that no person in
this community is so elevated as to be above
the people, and none so humble as to be be-
meath them. With this short preface many
tax payers would most respectfully ask you, as
chairman of the committee of ways and means,
for an explanation of what appears to their
plain humble minds perfect paradox" VIZ:
our assessable property has increased three mil
lions over last year, and yet our taxes are to be
increased instead Of diminished. If there be
any one city in the United States, pressed
down by municipal taxes, incommensurate with
their resources, Baltimore is that fated city;
and before you and the Councils impose any
additional bur;hens upon us, ascertain at what
point of pressure the middling and humble cas-
ses of tax payers, with their little property will
be DESTROYED MANY TAX PAYERS,
