HOWARD HIGH SCHOOL.

HOW AID HUH SCHOOL.
Messrs. EditorS:-While spending few
days in Fayette, on my way to my new
home at this place, ! took the opportunity
of visiting once more the several depart
ments of Howard High School. Having
been long connected with this Institution,
you may well suppose that still feel deep
interest in its future prosperity. As my
connection with the school is now entirely
dissolved, can speak with propriety Of
its character and standing, and hope may
be permitted to do so, without mourning
the imputaton Of speaking from interested
motives.
Mr.. Lucky, as heretofore, superntends
the Institution, and is principal of the fe.
male department. In the talent, ability,
and qualification of Mr.. Lucky as teach
err, have, as l always have had the most
unlimited confidence. | say this under
standingly, having had as good an oppor-
unity of ascertaini:g his qualifications as
any man living.
MIR. Davis occupies my former situation
as principal of the male department. OF
Mr.. Davis, as a teacher, any commenda-
ton from me, especially in that communi-
ty where he is so we'll known, both as a
gentleman and scholar, would be entirely
useless From what observed during the
short call made in his department, was
confirmed in the opinion which had be.
fore expressed privately, and which / will
now express publicly, that the male de-
partment would loose nothing, but rather
profit by its exchange of teachers"
The assistant teachers, under the super.
vision of the principals, are all well quail
fed for the departments they fill.
The teacher Of music and ornamental
branches, whom they have lately procured
! for that department, judging from the ties
) timonials she brings with her from the East
; is a lady equal in every respect to her pre-
decessor. To say this of her, you know
is commentator enough.
The whole school and each several de-
parlment, is under strict and healthy dis
) cpline. This, conceive to be one of the
essentials to its prosperity, and hence,
hope the teachers will guard well this poin,
. and as they value the Institution, they will
continue to preserve and maintain over i
it, strict, steady, impartial government.
In conclusion would state, that having
$ for the last few months, made myself &C
2 quainted with the condition of the princi
S pal schools within the range of my travels
D know of none in the State, of highe
. claims TO merit than Howard High School
Y Hitherto, the unfinished state of tn,
b buildings, and the want of other faciltie.
U have been disadvantages with which tn
:, Institution has had to struggle, but ,hroug
e the liberali'y and energetic action of tn
o trustees, these disadvantages have bee
=. partially overcome. Be this spoken Il
r their praise. Let them continue their gen
:, erous efforts, until they shall have compile
n ted the buildings and provided a sui,abl
r apparatus, library, cabinet, &c; then the
:, will have an Institution, which, by its ST
periority in every possible advantage, wi
command respect and patronage over eve
ry other in the State.

ECONOMY.

Ii is not economy to keep a cold house.
Modern ways of economizing fuel are SO
many and cheap, and it costs SO little more
10 make house tight than it does to leave
il open, that cold feet, colds, inflammation Of
the lungs and twenty other diseases-to
say nothing of the discomfort endured
are paid for too high, when their price is a
little neglect and want of enterprise in fit
ting up an abode TO prevent them.
IL is not economy to half feed sheep, cat
tie, swine, or horses in winter. The food
they consume is the fire that warns them.
If they do not have plenty, its place must
be supplied by the fat they have laid up on
their bodies, in which case they will be.
come poor; and if they have no fat laid up,
they must suffer terribly, if not perish.
His not economy to keep animals shelter
less. They consume sixth more feed
freeze their feet, ears, and noses, suffer
greatly, and are less likely to come oul
healthy in the spring.
All kinds of tools are injured by expo
sure to the weather. Wagons, wheelbar
rows, spades, hoes, ploughs, and every thing
else of the kind, should be housed before
winter sets in.

COLUMBUS, July 2s, 1s4s.
GENTLEMEN Il have delayed an answer to
your communication of the 18th inst, that |
might have time for mature reflection. This
was due to you, to myself, TO the subject and
perhaps to the country. have endeavored to
consider the matter in all its aspects and conse-
quences.
The great and exciting question of Slavery
extension, in the judicial form ii has assumed by
the act Of the Senate, rs il bears upon my posi-
ton on the bench; the use Of my name in the
present canvass, and the rejection Of il by the
Ohio delegates to the National Convention; the
relation which Mr. Van Buren, maintains to the
public have all been deliberately considered,
and am brought to the conclusion that | ought
not to go before the Buffalo Convention as a
candidate for the Presidency. ] feel deeply and
gratefully the honor you have done me by the
expression of your kindness and confidence in
connection with that high office.
Resting upon the principles of the Consttu-
ton, as they have been judicially settled, the
free States, by moderation, vigilance and firm
ness, may prevent the extension of slavery to the
free territory lately annexed. Without the
sanction of law slavery can no more exist in a
territory than a man can breathe without air
Slaves are not property where they are not
made so by the municipal law The Legislature
of Territory can exercise no power which Is
not conferred on it by act of Congress
With the highest respect,
l am, gratefully, your obt servant,

That the Trustees have secured the services of

ance of its extensive patronage. We NAV add
however, that, while the same thorough and srs-
emauc course Is to be pursued in the Classical and
Higher English Departments heretofore, the sad
neglect OF the fundamental branches Of an English
education, shown by too many of the pupils com

uous efforts in behalf of these important branches
Especially are they determined, that noiulye shall

Cheshire Railroad Troubles.

AaoLier Riot upon The Raiirodd-One Irislmdn
Shot Dead-t,co or three others Wounded.
On Sunday last, another serious aflray broke
out among the Irish laborers upon the Summit
section of the Cheshire Railroad, which resulted
in the death of one man and the woundng Of
two or three others, and the destruction and pill
laying from the defeated party, considerable
amount of property in furniture and money. A
quarrel we understand had been brewing for
some time between the Cork and Limerick d-
visions on adjacent sections of the road. The
disturbance commenced on Sunday, as one Of
the contractors expressed it, "with kind Of rum
fight" which was kept up during the night and
the forenoon of Monday, when ct about noon, a
regular attack was made by the Corkonians,
numbering some 200, upon the shantecs Of the
Limerick men, which led to a regular battle with
FIRE arms, volleys of which were discharged at
each other standing some 200 or 500 feet apart
The Limorickers were driven back and the VIC
tors entered the shantees of the defeated party,
and with IMMUNITY and great boldness," shared
in the "spoils Of victory" by taking and carry
ing off small amounts Of money, and destroying
stoves, tables looking glasses, furniture, trunks
&c. The destruction and carnage, however, was
not half so great as that of the Christian Amer
leans upon the poor Mexcans. There had been
no declaration that war "actually existed" 9TH
crwise glory might have been attached to the
vanqulshers
Can't Parmelce, a contractor upon the section
which was the field of action, stood between the
contending parties, endcavoring to quell the riot
until his efforts proved unavailing; he then came
to this village for aid. Sheriff Foster immcd-
ately summoned posse of some fifty men, who
repaired to the spot but before their arrival all
was quiet, and many of the combatants had dis
persed into the woods. About fifty were taken
and lodged in jail in this town on Monday night
and the following morning. On "Wednesday an
examination was commenced, and nineteen Of
them were disposed of. Ten were rcmandcd
back to Jail and nine were discharged Yestcr-
day the examination was continued, and the
Court was in session when our paper was made
up last night-Keene Phiidnhropisi, 10th ult.

NOTIONS NOT WANTTD.-A Southern paper,
the Tallahassee journal, has just made the dis
covery Of a terrible dagger that menaces the
Southern States. They are 10 be overthrow,
alas by the dreadful schoolmaster. Here is the
intelligence:
ave think it high time that the people Of the
South should depend more upon schoolmasters
Of native growth. The schoomastcr is too much
abroad; he brings many notions from abroad,
and his principles are all from abroad-and some
of these not always friendly to the state of soci-
ETY. at the South"
The schoolmaster is too much abroad Why
do not they shut him up? He brings many no
tons from abroad, too! What a terrible thing
is a schoolmas;er There ought to be no free
trade in notions, but preventive tariff should
be enacted to keep all notions out of the South
as contraband and revolutionary. Some no
tons are not friendly to the state Of society n
the South We believe this is a tremendou.
fact, and we advise the South to look to it.
SLAVE LABoR.-The N. Y. Globe of The
18th ult. has the following:
"Seventy sugar mills have been made this
season in Cincinnati, and shipped South. They
cost from 5000 to $4,000 each, making about
S350,000 for the seventy. They are made BY
Mr. Niles, formerly of Hartford, CT
The South has the material from which tC
construct these mills, but slavery prevents tn,
development Of the requisite scientific and me
chanical talent among her people, therefore she
is compelled to procure them from the free
North"
And thus (says correspondent, do the Ere,
people of the Free States live by the Stare Labor
Of the Stare States.

81 The N. Y Evening Post expresses the
belief that there is a large number of Free Soil
men in Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina,
etc, even among the large planters and slave
holders-and that they will hereafter take strong
and decided ground in opposition to the further
extension of Slavery.
A" Free Soil" meeting, respectable in num-
bers and appearance, was actually held in New
Orleans on the 10th ult. a. vas not disturbed,
and adjourned to the 18th.
Free Soil" State Convention was held at
Baltimore, Md, on the 2Sth. It was not large
in numbers, but composed of bold-hearted, stout
neryed men, from nearly every county.
The people of Kentucky have again voted to
call State Convention for revising their Consti-
tuition, and also to impose tax for Schools.

AGAwAM CANAL CoMPANY.-The Vermont
Chronicle states that the travelling agent of this
company is now in Vermont, wishing to engage
in that State about two hundred girls to COM
mence work as soon as the machinery is ready,
about the goth of September. We learn from
the Chronicle that the Company in order to re-
move the objections often felt to employment in
large manufacturing establishments, have adopt
ed the following principles;
l. The directors and agents are to be decided
ly religious men. 2. No individual will be en-
ployed in the establishment who uses profane
language, or Intoxicating liquors, or violates the
Sabbath, or is known TO be in any respect i'm
moral. 8. A place of worship will be provided
and Congregational minister established from
the outset The boarding houses will be kept
by religious families, and the utmost care will be
exercised in regard to the morals of the opera
tives and to have decidedly religious influence
pervade the entire establishment-the object be-
ing to have manufacturing establishment where
Christian parents may safely trust the moral and
religious interests of their children.
