Teachers Institute.

The session opened on l!onday
evening the 29,h inst. at the court
house, in this village, by an introduce
tory lecture from the principal, Prof.
Sweet, of New York. The court
house was crowded to Overlooking,
and the lecture was listened to with
profound attention After brief
Introduction on the prosperity of the
west by means of internal improve
mcntS, lie announced his theme
-Education-the development OF
mind, as lying at the foundation o!
her future greatness and prosperity.
lie illustrated many Of the most i'm
portant improvements in education,
and showed concluSively that teach
ers institutes are fully adapted to in
iroduce these Improvements into ev-
cry hamlet AMI cottage in the land
The regular exercises Of the In
siitute commenced on Tuesday NOR
ming at 9 o'clock, and instruction
was given during the day in Phonol-
ogy, reading and elocution, mental
and written arithmetic, natural sci
encc, English grammar, analysis,
punctuation, map drawing, &c. The
evenings have been devoted to the
discussion of educational science :;
thea &c al which children should
be sent to school, the best manner Of
teaching the alphabet, spelling, cle-
mentary reading, and the first study
for child after he can read and
spell. Tie discussions are exciting
much interest and are participated
in by the members of the institute
and the citizens generally.
The number of students at the
present time is about 100, including
the model department, and is contin-
ually increasing. The interest they
manifest in receiving instruction !;
and the energy and skill exhibited BY
the Professors in the discharge Of
their duties, not only indicate thatit
is not the last institute Of the kind,
but that the highest expectations of
its warmest friends will be fully re-
allied. Let intelligence and virtue
characterize the youth Of our land,
and this great Republic is safe.

A Valuable Cargo.

The canal boat Fowler, arrived
at this place on Monday, and unloa-
ded at the warehouse of Nessrs.
Walkers Hickling, a cargo worth
over sir'y thousand dollars! Ne
venture TO say that not another boat
has passed through the canal this
season with so valuable load.
The load was chiefly merchandise,
and the heavier part of that for
Messrs ". & II. themselves, some
idea of the extent of whose bushes,
may be formed from such fact. If
it be true that "the man who sell,
best sells most" there must be some
substantial reasons why the store Of
Msssrs. w. & II. has for the last fe W
days been filled with such crowd
examining their new goods.

they were capable of doing. -
On the 9th of August they got US
far as CrOker's Bay, wlmre they
were stopped by solid body of ice,
stretching across the straits to Adj
mIralty inlet; and no water being
visible to westward, they were COM
PEELED to return, coming close in
with the edge of the ice; and on
the Stu of August, Mr.. Parker lam
ded casl> Of preserved meats, and
80 bags Of Goals (Which had been
sent on board by Lady Franklin)
upon Cape Hay, deposited the let
terS, cylindars &C., according to the
instructions Of their lordsAips and
having erected high pole to attract
the attention of the ships or boats
which might pass at future time,
they made the best of their way
back TO the fishing ground, which
they reached on the l7th August.
| trust their lordShips will consid-
er that this attempt to reach the cx-
petitions may be worthy Of lavora-
bic consideration, and be disposed
to recommend some compensation
Tor the risk run and the loss of time
occasioned thereby. But this is
point which the present is not fit
tInS time to urge; and | merely al
lnde to it, lest it might be imagined
that any future application was an
aiterthought not worthy eff notice.
The innumcrable interruptions ar
rising from the anxious inquiries Of
the public generally on the subject
which has 50 long Interested them,
must be my apology for any errors
or omissions which lmay have made;
and ali that would venture to add
is thc expression of my earnest hopes
that this information, however i'm
perfect, may ultimately lead to the
adoption of such steps as may cxtri-
cate those brave men from state of
danger and difficulty.
If their lordslips wish for further
information, or to submit specific
questions, my humble cndeavors
shall be used to obtain correct ans
werS; and if they would prefer that
MIR. Parker should attend in Lond-
on, he is ready to 90 so, on receiving
orders TO ;hat effect.

Thu Normal Insli;i(ip,

The report of the secretary, which
is given in another column, conveys
so full and correct an idea Of the
progress so far of Me temporary
normal institute at this place, that
we have little to add. The turn on,
is unexpcctly large. There are
teachers here from LaSalle, Will,
Cook, Kendall, Kane, Bureau, Put
nam, and we know not how many
other counties. The evening dis.
cussions have so far been vell suS-
tanned, and are increasing in inter
est. The students are all delighted
with tile school, and entertain no
doabto Of being greatly profted. To
the cause of education in this re-
gion there can be no question but
the institute will be Of the highest
benefit.

Last evening the Hon. Stephen

OF the Legislature, and others in at
tendence, upwards of two hours on
the subject Of Legislative lnstruc.
tons, and the Improvement of the
laws OF last winter, creating the
Great Western Railroad Company.
Ills speech was well received.
"AIe very clearly showed the ne
cessity ofrepealing all laws in force
respecting the Central Rail Road,
which will unquestionably be done
by the friends Of the Road. 1t will
be rccollectcd, an effort was made
at the last session to change the line
of the Central Rail Road by diver
glng at Bloomington and running di-
rect TO Chicago, leaving the western
termination Of the canal and all the
country north and west by such
change, without any benefit to be
derived from the Road; and the
grant of lands made to the state, of
no benefit to one-third part of the
state. Rest assured the Senator and
Representatives from your District
are wide awake to this subject.

alist is quite laudatory of Mr.. Cotton
and discovers, particularly in his
politics qualilic atoms that strongly
commend him to favor among the
wings. We ask no wing TO support
onr candidate on the ground of there
being any affinity between his and
their politics. Mr. HOLSTER has been
a Straight forward democrat, and in
our party contests, we believe the
wings have generally found him an
open, manly and fair opponent. 50
far, however, as free soil principles
are concerned, Mr.. II. stands on as
fair ground as NJ. Cotton does.
There is in this part of the state no.
toriously no difference of opinion on
this question, And if in other res
poets, Mr.. Cotton's leanings are
'higsish,ss the writer pretenas, this
can hardly be regarded as recon-
ncnling hin, to their support, for we
are sure our wing friends would
much sooner support an open oppo-
nent, than one whose opposition is
tinctured by just friendship enough
to make the dose lukewar.n, or milk
and wa.erish. We are sure Mr..
Cotton will thank no wing to urge
his claims on such grounds.
Nr. Nollister has been a resident
of this county for twelve or fifteen
years, and in that time has surely
held or sought as little Office as any
man in it. Yet as politician, and
as citizen, no prominent man in
the county has borne a character
more free from reproach.
As local magistrate he has sew
eral times been elected in this pre-
cint without opposition, and without
his solicitation. In his capacity as
an excellent justice of the peace, he
is known all over the county, and out
of it. And we take this occasion to
boast, that no justice in northern H.
linois has done as much business. and
had so few of his decisions appealed
from, SO few reversed. The docket
Of our circuit court will show that
of all the decisions of Nr. H. ever
appealed from to that court, butONE
has ever been reversed.
Such a fact speaks volumes. 1t
shows not only that Mr.. H. is good
judge of law and Of right, but that he
never decides hastily or inconsider-
ately. The best lawyer may occa-
sionally make wrong decision from
haste or inattention, but Hr. II. re-
CARDS every suit as Of sufficient i'm
portancc to require attention enough
to find what is justice in the premis-
es.
Upon democrats, it should not be
necessary for Us to urge the claims
Of Mr.. Uollister. There is no ex-
cuse for boiling an unexceptionable
nomination. As to wings, since they
must choose from political opponents
we ask them in deciding upon the
qualifications of the candidates, and
their claims upon the people, to take
the above facts into consideration.
