Respected Friends I'm presenting this report

express the gratitude we feel toward . w.tchful
and benifcsnt God. who during all the vicisi.
studes Of the past year, has preserved US in
peace and prosperity. Though the destroy ing
Angel has passed thro' our land, sweepinR oil

At the present time, We Rdmber in the scho Of

female scholars; making in ell, Is teachers and

during the pas, year.
The number Of Books in the use Of the school

Spelling books. - Catachisms, IS question

The school has lately been recognised, and
We are now operating, 90 think, in = manner
which will enable 10 more eftectually to secure
the great end ofthe Ssbbarh School enterprise i.
II has been matter Of serious regret to 10, that
20 many children in our neighbori,ood afs yet
without Sabbath School instruction and are
growing up without those moral gu ards necsssa-
~ to secure from the temptations OF youth ;
but We hope to bring even these un der The 10 :
duence Of this institution.
In entering upon our duties for the coming
year we feel like doubling our diligence and
zeal and if we meet with that encouragement,
and support from you which we think tn is
caure demands and that btesssn; from A mighty
God We trust to receive. we pIAsnise that all

DlsuNIoN.-Although few hotheaded
members of Congress thought proper du.
ring the three weeks of reorganization in
the House of Representatives, to make
speeches threatening dissolution Of this
Union Of States, we do not suppose the
feeling tnanitested by them has obtained
root enough in any section OF the country,
to merit serious consideration lstill, in
view Of the fact that such rantings have
been INDUCED in, every lover of our COM
mon country must rejoice at the noble
tone Of the Presidents Message, in
reference to maintaining the Union cold
and inviolate.
"Whatever dangers may threaten IT,"
says the message, 81 shall stand by it and
maintain it in its integrity, to the full ex-
tent of the obligations imposed, and the
power conferred upon me by the Constr
tution." His developed character war
rants US in believing that he would be the
man for the exigency, should any party
of factionists make a reasonable demon
stration; but there can be no cause to fear
that any outbreak will be attempted.
Neither the ultraists of the North nor the
South, we apprehend, are supported in
their base and reasonable designs by any
considerable body Of their respective con-
stituencies. "Liberty and the Union. one
and inseparable," is the doctrine of the
whole land, and the whole people are too
we'll impressed with its truth, to permit
any attempt At Dissolution. 30 hr - this

Tue e. rcrioS OF SPEAxER.-We stated
in our last Saturdays issue that appear.
anc-s led US to believe, that the House Of
Representatives would on that day elect 8
speaker, and the result verified the init.
nation.
A resolution introduced by Mr.. Stanton
Of Tenn, was adopted, to the effect, tina,
the House should proceed to ballot, and il
after three trials no candidate should have
a majority, then, on the fourth trial, who
ever had the highest vote, provided It be a
majority Of a quorum, should be declared
elected.
Three ball,tings having been had. and
no one having received a majority, the
House proceeded to settle the matter by
the fourth vote. Breathless interest pre-
vailed and the result announced; was, for
Howell Cobb 1902, for Robert C. Winthrop
100, Wilmot 8, Morehead 4, Strong 3,
A. H. Stephens l, Colcock l, Durkee l.,
Potter l, Boyd.
Mr.. Cobb was subsequently, by a vote Of
l49 to 80, declared the Speaker OF the
House.
There has been one thing connected
with the "Speaker" business during the
three weeks it was in agitation, which
will not escape the attention Of the coun-
try. We refer to the efforts Of the wings
after ascertaining that neither patty had
the strength to elect speaker-to effect
some arrangement whereby an organiza-
ton Of The House might be had, and the
business of the country proceeded with.
Various plans were devised by them to
lead to some understanding-and the ap-
pointing OF committees Of conference was
again and again proposed, but the loco
focos resisted every proposition until the
one which finally resulted in an election :;
for it was by the committees, which were
at last appointed, that the resolution Of
Mr.. Stanton was suggested.
Mr.. Cobb, is the best qualified for speak
er of all the members Of the opposition.
and will, we have no doubt, fill the place
with dignity and ability.

Permit me TO caution your over-zeal in 60

before you engage in an enterprise beyond
your age, and strength, and means.
A long, drcary road, of upward of 1000
miles lies before you, without houses, without
meat or flour, and in many places without
wood, water, or grass. You that start across
the plains, by the time you reach Santa Fe,
Y Ma distance of not less than 200 miles
