TEACHERS INSTITUTE

A Teachers Institute was organized at Sylvanla
in this county, on Wednesday of last week; it is
contemplated TO continue it in session about two
weeks This, it is believed is the first organization
of the kind ever had in the Territory. Institutions
of this character have within the last four years
England, and many other States and they have been
found eminently successful in preparing teachers TO
instruct common schools. One of the primary OBJ
iects of these Institutions is to make teachers
quainted with the modern Improvements in common
school instruction, and the best methods of teaching
the different branches of study Free inquiry and
discussion are encouraged among the teachers
mutual suggestions are thrown out, and whatever
seems of most practical utility, is adopted, We
hope the time is not distant when Teachers lnsl-
tutcs will be found in every county OF the Territory
They cannot fail TO exercise powerful influence
upon the cause of common school education
The Teachers Institute in this county, is chiefly
under the supervision of DR. Adams, late of Onon-
daga county, n. Y. DR. A., we understand, has hafl
much experience in the conducting of Teachers
Institutes, and is an ardent friend of education.
Among other friends of education who have contri-
buted TO the formation of the Institute, we may
mention Gen. Frank, Rev. Mr.. Deming, Dr. NJ Kin
ley, and c. NJ. Willard, Esq. These gentlemen are
giving portion of their time in personal attendance,
and encouraging by public lectures and otherwise
the success of the enterprise

up of the houses, many by the lombard
ment, but more by the confusion which
prevailed in the city; and although we can
not count our killed, wounded, and missing,
since the actions commenced yesterday, at
less than 1000, among whom are many
women and children, the enemy confessed
a loss of over 900. 1t is no doubt much
greater. What calamity! But Mexico
will vet have vengeance. God will avenge
us for our suflerings. Alas, that | should
write this letter within the sight of proud
enemy who has succeeded by his ferocity
in trampling on our capital and our country
AN enemy who only prides himself upon
shooting well with his rifle and cannon!-
But thus it ls-we are prostrated-nOt hum
bled. We may be forced 10 silence, but
the first moment that presents us a chance
will be devoted to terrible revenge. Santa
Anna has gone with his generals and all the
troops he could draw off TO Guadalupe
He is said to be wounded severely. We
have lost heroic officers and brave men in
these two days. | cannot fOresee what is
to come. Thousands are gathering upon
the hills, and around the city, determined TO
cut off all supplies, and starve the enemy
who has so audaciously entered it. Gene
raj Scott may yet find that Mexico is not
yet vanquished. He may find our lakes
bursting their barriers and filling this beau
tiful valley, to annihiIate the infamous Amer
leans. We scarcely hope, yet do not quite
despair. Our brave generals may recover
what is lost, and Mexico, with her ten mil
lions of people, arise to sweep the invader
from the land he has desecrated. Be sure
that whatever we do in the way of submits.
sion, is only for the moment. No MeXi-
can will respect, beyond the hour that forces
him to it, any bond dictated by the sword
ofan enemy. My heart is too full of grief
and Indignation to write more. Adieu.

NEW YORK. Oct. pa =. NJ.


The steam ship alabama arrived at New
Orleans on the 9TH inst, bringing advices
from Tampico to the goth ult.
The Picayune says there is no later news
from SCOTS army direct, but it learns thro'
source entitled to great credit, that the
Americans had 81 officers killed and 45
wounded in the battles of the 9Th and 18th
of Sept.
There is no confirmation Of the reported
death of any of the American Generals.
Letters received by commercial houses
at Tampico from their correspondents in the
city of Mexico, confirm entirely the Picay-
unes account of the battle of Mill Ell Rey,
Chapultepec and the heights on the 9Th and
18th, when General Scott there carried the
place at the point of the bayonet.
A circular from the Alcalde is published,
dated at Gaudaloupe, 18th Sept. and adj
dressed to the Commandants of General
Department, states that the American army
charged on the 18th at day-break with all
their torce,upon Chapultepec-whichy yield
ed after spirited defence Of six hours.
The Americans Immediately marched
upon another strong fertilization, but their
first advance was checked by the troops,l led
by Santa Anna-when after short conflict
the enemy was dispersed and finally routed.
After nine hours hard fighting, the capital
being in desperate situation, and anxious
to avoid its bombardment, he determined to
eyacuatc il.
A verbal report received at Vera Cruz,
states that he retired to Gaudalope with ten
thousand troops and twenty-five pieces of
artillery. No mention is made of the re-
ported bombardment on the 18th and 5th.
No confirmation of the report that Santa
Anna has been wounded.
1t is said Gen. Quitman is on his way
down to Vera Cruz with dispatches and
1000 men. Col. Wilson was severely i'll.
A letter from Vera Cruz says a procla-
nation has been issued by Santa Anna an
nouncing his resignation as President, and
that Seignor Pena had been intimated in his
place. The Picayune doubts the truth of
the statement
Georgia election returns indicate the cleo
ton of Towns, for Governor by about 800
to 1000 majority, The wings have a nett
gam Of four members.

IL In publishing Gas we do with pleasure) the
letter of our Washington friend, he will excuse us
if say aword or two upon the subjects suggested
We think close examination of the result of the
late election will show it to be mistake that any
feeling engendered in the constitutional struggle had
any thing TO do with it. The Democratic candi-
date for Council in this district was much more
fully identified in the support of the Constitution
among the people here, than was Mr. Strong yet
he received the usual democratic majority There
exists at present. and did then, no permanent cause
of division in our midst. We carried large majo
rity of the Legislature and there can be no ques
ton that under ordinarily favorable circumstances
could easily have carried the delegate. The
difficulty arose entirely from the second cause men,
toned by friend, though whether the opposition
secret or the prejudices created unfoundcd is
another matter which it would be useless to argue
now.
But that divisions will exist and struggles will
arise in the Democratic party of the territory
er or later. we consider inevitable. The party OF
progress neither can or will submit to be overrued
TO inactivity or silence in matters which they con-
slider essential 10 the welfare of the people and con-
sequently democratic; nor will the conservatives.
who are always satisfied with things just as they
are taclty quietly second the efforts of this par

with democratic Senators and Representatives.
These bones of contention need not be put into nor
sought TO be put into, the Constitution A great
share of the liberal and democratic features of the
late Constitution were opposed not of and in them
selves but because they considered out Of place

ton or repeal, If necessary, than they could be

And aside from this consideration, it is question
whether the measures which created the strife and
Discussion in the late Constitution. had any business

there. According to our way of thinking the bust
ness of Constitution is simply to frame govern
ment in its several departmens-to constitute the
Executive the Judicial, and the Legislative bodies,
the latter TO make laws the former to execute and
the Judicial to expound and apply. In this, we
doubt whether there will be two parties among
democrats Our late Constitution, with some ex-
ceptions which are sufficiently apparent now, was
admirable in these respects, and will probably in
the main be again enacted With regard TO these
'vexed questions of progress, we can never test
their strength in that instrument, in connection
with it. We can all agree in organizing safe
simple and economical, and, consequently, demo
cratic government, and when we get this done, then
we can better afford the strife on these questions
For our part we are against all laws sanctoning OF
encouraging the issue OF Bank paper; we are in IA
vor of an exemption to as great an amount as we
can get as preliminary 10 further reforms; we are
in favor of every thing which looks to the gradual
abolition of the interference OF law IN matters OF bu
siness, combining law to its legitimate sphere of deal
ing solely with crime in society. But the Constltu-
ton is not the place to fight these battles. The Le-
gislatiye Hall is and there we most faithfully pro-
mise to urge them as soon as the Legislature of the
sovereign State of Wisconsin shall commence the
exercise of its functions.

amount of grain has been increased so cents, by
the causes we have considered. Then the actual

enough to build railway from Albany to the
mouth of the Columbia
AS a work of worldwide utility the project of
railway from the Atlantic border TO the Mississippi
valley would seem to stand pre-emnent among the
great projects of the day But in its more local as
poets is it of sufficient importance TO engage the
favorable and immediate attention of the business
community, East and West From the sagacious
and enterprizing character of Boston and New ork
capitalists and business men, movement in favor
of this work might long ere this have been expect
ed and that it has not vet been earnestly taken hold
of is Justly a matter OF surprise. The reason
doubtless is that the resources and capabilities oi
the great West have heretofore been SO imperlecty
understood. We arc happy to observe now, howe
ver that the time of this ignorance is passing away;
and that leading citizens of Eastern cities begin 10
see their own interests as connected with this sub
cct The question whether the trade of the North
west shall in the main be secured TO Boston or New
York is one which the business men of either city
may determine for thenisel, es That city which
first moves in this grand enterprise, and accomplish
it, making itself the eastern terminus of the inn
pro.emcnt. and having the western terminus near
the south line of Wisconsin or farther west will
open to itself an amount OF business and trade the
yearly value OF which at the outstart will be far
more than an equivalent for the expense OF the
work, and the increase of which, under the new i'm
peus given, will doubtless be greater than any
thing yet exhibited by this region in the almost
incredible history of its rapid progress. The prize
to he secured would seem to be o: sufficient conse
quence to stir up the energies OF our Atlantic friends
at some point and induce immediate and effective
action; while the equal if not greater, interest of
the whole northwest in the subject Will of course
secure the jealous cooperation of its inhabitants
to the extent of their means and influence, in the
great enterprise suggested.
