Mr.. Janney's Address, We COM
menee, on he first page Of to-day's pa
per, the excellent and eloquent address
Of M. Janney, of Loudoun county, be-
fore the Education Society of Freder-
ick, few weeks ago. We commend
this address to the serious attention OF
our readers-we will not say '2'he at
tention ofthe friends of Education; for,
ifthere are any to be found, IN this
or any other community, where our
sheet calculates, who are opposed TO
! the education of their species, it Is not
expected that the perusal Of Mr.. Us.
address will be of any essential benefit
Ito them.
| Mr.. is. remarks relative to the util-
ity and practieability of The Common
School SYSTEM" in its application to
| the counties Of Jefferson and Freder-
lex, will apply to many other counties
in the Valley, and, to limited extent,
to our own.
In our next, the conclusion of the
address will be given, which chiefly
treats of the discipline which ought to
be observed in the government, Of a
school. This subJec, is especially in
teresting to those who intend to make
| teaching business.

Gen. Gaines. 1T is the opinion of
those who ought to know, tina, the
Court of Enquiry, who have had the
conduct Of this gallant old veteran, in
ordering volunteers into the service of
the U. S., under consideration for sew
al days, will acquit him. Such de-
cision, we are certain, when The cir
cumstances ofthe case are duly and I'm
partially weighed, will meet with a
hearty response from the people gener-
ally. He acted from the highest mo-
tives of honor and devotion to his coun-
try, and his conduct should therefore
be looked upon in the most favorable
light consistent with the nature of the
case. 1t is sometimes erpedient to
violate lato, when there is no laaU to
meet the emergency.
