MISUNDERSTANDING York 10000,
Philadelphia 100000, Baltimore 10000
such is the summing up of the num-
bers of Valentines delivered in those
three cities. What wonderings-what
guessings-yea, and what beatings of
hearts they caused. We dare say that
here in Elkton, in proportion to the pop
ulation, more were sent & received. They
came to our girls like showers of roses
and no wonder; and all the young men
had their pockets full. We, lucky dog
that we are, got the prettiest that came
to town. OF course.

A FINE HoUsE.--We happened one
day thus week in the new house lately
built by Mr.. Torbcrt in the eastern por-
ton of the town. 1t is exceedingly well
built, and is both handsome and comfort
able. Mr.. JACOB Casio, carpenter, OF
this town is the builder, and has made a
most creditable job. He understands his
business thoroughly, in planning build
ings and in doing the work in the hand
soonest and best style. We do not think
house ofthc same dimensions could be
better and more handsomely built at the
same cost. Mr.. Casio has the faculty of
conducting work to the best advantage,
and thus progressing rapidly and saving
his employers money. Persons having
building to do, would do well to employ
him if they get him.

DlsGRAcErUL.-Thc behaviour Of the
boys and Of some men who helped them,
at and about the Court House, on the
evening Of tire concert by the New Lon
don Band, was very reprehensible and
dlseraceiul to the town. II is time now,
that the steady and responsible portion
OF our citizens should take the matter in
hand, and have an end Of these rowdy
collections Of boys. II they are allowed
to persist, not only will many Of them
be ruined, but all the town will suffer by
their conduct. There is surely some
way to stop it, and if there are any at
ttoritics competent to act, we hope they
may attend to their duty. Let an ex
ample be made of the offenders the next
time-decency and common good order
demand it, and farther outbreaks may
thus be prevented.

ular Errors of the Middle Ages" will be
delivered by A. c. BRADFORD, Esqr., in
the Court House in this town, on We'd
nesday evening next, March LIST.
Mr.. Bradford is an eloquent speaker,
and on general Subjects, a clear and for
chile writer. We have heard gentleman
OF literary taste and Judgment, who have
heard the lecture referred to, pronounce
it a beautiful and brilliant effort.
And we noticed that the Press Of Phil
adelphia and Wilmington uron the oc-
casion Of its delivery in those cities
spoke of it in unsintcd terms of praise
We hope our people will turn out nu-
merollSly and patronlze an address wor-
thy Of the most enlightened audience.
We hope our leading citizens will give
their countcnancc 10 it; for we are any
ious that the good taste, and the appre-

not wanting here, should give evidence
of its existence. The tickets are low

SENArE.-A large number of petitions, &c,
were presented and referred
A resolution offered by Mr.. CLAYTON, inoui-
ring when the Senate may expect to receive
documents from the printer, and the cause of
the delay, was adopted.
The order Of the day-being the ten regi-
ment bill--was taken up
Mr.. Crittenden moved to strike out all after
the enacting clause, and insert in lieu thereof
proposition 10 raise thirty thousand volun-
teers, 10 serve for three years. His object was
to substitute volunteers for regulars There is
no necessity for the len regiments as contem-
plated by the original bill The Secretary of
War asks for these forces 10 make excursion
over territory OF Mexico, and conquer when
deemed necessary. The forces were not nee
ded, as Scott with about ten, and Taylor with
less than five thousand of volunteers, had de-
featei Santa Anna, with more than double
their numbers Now, when not only the
shield of Mexico had been broken, and her
troops scattered and her government in anarchy
why ask this large additional force. There
are more troops on the Rio Grande now than
when the victories were achieved in that quar-
'er.
Gen. Scott has also been almost daily rein
lOFCed since his last UdtlIe--DetWeeh 10 anu
10000 stronger along his line from Vera Cruz
to the Capitol, than when he first landed at
the former place. He has now upwards OF
$4,000 men De luct 5000 for sickness, &c,

capable Of preparing boys for College, and OF
giving girls thorough and accomplished ed
ucatien, all of which is obtained at the cost
above stated. Compare this with the cost OF
similar schooling in Indiana. For instruction
in the humblest of our schools we pay at least
80 per year, and the pnce ranges in the
better schools from this sum 10 S22 per
year. and | apprehend there is no seminary in
this State where the range and character ofin-
struction are equal to those of the schools OF
Zenesville, Portsmouth and Sanausky, men,
toned above, in which the cost of years
schooling would not be three times as great as
it is in those-say from sl2 to sl6a year. In
New York they had last year 66ll male tea
cheers, at an average price of SIC per month";
and 10, los female teachers at an average price
of less than 81 per month. In Astabula CO.,
Ohio, less than one-third of their teachers were
males at an average price of Sl2, 20 per month.
and more than two thirds of their teachers
were females, at an average price OF five dol
lars per month. These prices are too low,
and perhaps lower than we can obtain compe-
tent teachers for. But is it believed we can
obtain female teachers (board included) for
Sl2 per month. This for six months would
be S72, and for school of 40 scholars, would
be 81 80 for each scholar, six months, or 80
cents tor three mouths. That woman are the
best teachers for all schools except the Male
Departments of high scholars, is now generally
admitted, where their usefulness has been full
ly tested. We have seen above that in New
York under the excellent system of that State,
near two-thirds of their teachers are females
In Massachusetts, and Connecticut about three
fourths of their teachers are of that sex. And
when we reflect that these two last named
States were the first of all the people of the
earth, that ever provided for the education of
a whole people, and that they have been i'm
proving their system for two hundred years,
may we not hope to learn something from their
experience? Respectfully yours.

Oy"Fscts are the data ofall just reasoning,
and the primary elements of all real knowledge"
Says the Democrat, and we admit the "cor-
rectness of the principle" Therefore do we
contend that Gen. Cass is Federalist. He
commenced life by abusing Thomas Jefferson,
editing federal paper-advocating and de-
Tending the federal party, and wearing the
black cockade. His acts since then as minis
ter to France and Senator in Congress have
convinced US that he is still federalist at
heart and only assumes the name of democrat
TO acquire Office and the spoils. We have pub
lished no "libels" against Gen, Cass. as the
Democrat insinuates. The truth is sufficient
for our purpose, and when that is all told we
doubt if the Democrat will not loa,h its candi-
date as much as we do.

@-fhe Vanderburgh Democrat of Saturday
publishes the Lament" of the Washington
Union, because Clay or Scott was not nomina
ted by the Wing Convention. We refer ouI
readers TO an article in another column from
the Richmond Republican upon this subject
which is worthy peIusal by every true Wing
To read The Unions article one would sup
Pose that nothing would comfort it. There
is no sign more encouraging than this tc
the friends of Gen. Taylor. Had Gen. Taylor
been rejected BY the Convention, and either
Clay or Scott selected as the Wing candidate
how different would have been the tone OF the
Unions articles. When Mr.. Clay was reject
ed by the Wing Convention in 1910. the wall
ings Of the canting, whining, old hypocrite,
who presides over the Union, were heard
throughout the length and breadth of the land;
but when he received the nomination in 1874,
who was more abusive of that great statesman,
than Richie? And it is fresh within the recol-
lection of every newspaper reader, that when
the Administration commenced this persecu-
ton of Gen. Scott, they had no more plant
tool 10 do their dirty bidding, to malign and
traduce this gallant soldier. than this same man
Richie, whose bowels of compassion are now
so sensibly moved at his and Mr. Clay's reiec-
ton. What miscrably compound of stupid.
lily. hypocrisy, and deceit
