have done, To bear all the burdensome expenses OF

passive, under the dictarion Of our Yankee teach-

America from the Atlantic to the Pacific, will
crimson our once happy soil W til blood, and leave
the country wreck which time can never recon-

The wrongs that are heaped upon us have been
laid on gradually. First when we assenIed to the
"Ordinance of 'S7:" then when we agreed, for the
sake Of Compromise, to the Missouri adjustment

and now, mt,re odous than oil, when we permit
ourselves be shut from all the newly acquired
territory. At these rats, sby degrees we shall
become the yeriest. menals upon earth, and enjoy
position little lower than the serfs Of Russia or

should in letters Of light write it first in resistance

Teachers Institute.

The meeting of the Teachers Institute for
the Mining region, was brought to a close on
Friday evening last. The proceedings will
be found in our columns to-day. We are heart
lily rejoced TO see the interest that is felt at
this time, upon the subject Of Education
More than at any former period, is the public
mind impressed with the importance of having
our Common Schools conducted upona plan
equally beneficial to the pupil an creditabie to
the community. 1t is hoped that something
may be done in this village toward erecting
suitable houses for those that are to attend
1t is fact which reflects no great credit upon
our town, that there is not School House in
the place worthy to be called by that name and
our supervisors have been con PEELED to rent
a tcGgon Sh9p in a very unsuitable part of the
town, to be occupied school room. Let
something be done in the way of building a
school house, that will be 4 credit to The viii

Where DR.. Webster's Money came from.

writer in the Boston Herald Of Monday
makes the following statement:
II will be recollected that no fact so hardly
pressed the Professor in his trial as that he
was quite unable TO tell whence came The
money with which he paid DIR. Parkmau.-
That fact is now explained Mrs. Web
ster has given the world clue to il. Itwss
as follows DIR. Parkman went 20 Cam
bridge and dunoed and abused Mr. Webster
~ the presence Of his wife. short time be-
fore the day ofthe alleged murder. Il Was
the first knowledge she had ever had that her
husband was mt ali embarrassed in his pecu-
mary relations with DIR. Parkman. She
knew with wha: remorseless severity DR..
Parkman ever pursued his debtors, and shs
feared at once that the social standing of her.
self and family would be compromised. Her
womanIy fears made terrible impressionu up
on her mind.
She took her husband soon after, and told
him that she had ia drawer in ner pom near
" 500 that she had accumulated during the
ten years past. from small sums she had re-
crived from Ter fiji nGs at FHyHl and other
places. She told him to take this and HQui-
date his debt 81 eediIy possible. Oh how
unfortunate that tins fact was not developed
on his trial! Nobody but his wife knew II to
he~ure, tut it ni-ht lave been stated by Dr.
Webster. Blu! the feeling Of pride which led
his. wife TO make over the money to her hus-
hund, caused them both to Seep back the fact
relying confidently, as they did, upon an re
quitia, from the weakness of the governments

Hen PRIcEs.-Never before, during our
residence in Mineral Point, have we known
the prices for produce as high as at the pres
ent time. Flour, we understand IS selling for
three dollars per hundred. Potatoes have
been sold in town during the past week for
one dollar bushel, and most articles of pro-
dace are equally high. Surely, farmers need
not complain.
