On the Both, the National Guard at Jalapa, IN
der the command Of Don Patricio Naya, pronounced
in favor of the revolutionary plan of Guadalaara.
The insurgents compelled the Town Council to as

sent to Gen. Mendoza and Gov. Palaco to join the
rebels. The former refused the reply Of the latter

has been reached, but how to be passed time alone

1.-THE National Intelligencer very exulting
y the passage Of bill through the United States House
of Representatives appropating fifty thousand dollars
for the erection at the federal city Of Bronze Equestrian
Statue Of GEORGE WASHINGTON. There is not true
in the country who will not on in the rejoicing OF the
Integencer at this any other evidence that the Father
of his Country is still remembered by the American
people-not one who viii rejoice to equestrian
statue go up and if fifty thousand dollars is insufficient
for the erection Of statue worthy of the great
whose character and services it viii commemorate who
viii not gladly the appropriation doubled? But do
the editors Of the ntegeneer agree with that it
would after all be quite well for Congress that
the monument already commenced be completed before
another is attempted Are they of opinion that best
show our yeneraton for WASHINGTON by commencing
great many monuments and then permitting them to lag
for want Of funds TO finish them II Congress has few
hundred thousand dollars spare for such purposesas
it certainly haslet ample appropriation be made at
for completing the National Monument and let the
equestrian be placed its top in part of
structure. 1t wonl be Notifying to see the statue

WASHINGTON, June l6.-Adrew ]. Nor.
rison shot his wife and a clerk named w.
Ii. Hester, under peculiar circumstances.
There are various complicated accounts,
the most reliable one is this:
Morrison married six months ago a young
and handsome woman. Suspecting impro-
priety of conduct in her, he told her he
would be absent sometime. She notified
Hester who subsequently called on her.
Morrison, in The meantime, having watch
ed their movements, splang on them sud-
denly and found them in his chamber, both
undTessed. He drew a revolver and fired
three or four shots, one of which took Ell
feet on Hester, the ball passing through his
body, another through the arm and side of
his wife, wounding her seriously. Morrison
was committed. Hester being informed by
his physician that he might not survive bu;
few minutes, made statement to Capt.
IHcidard, that he had no criminal intention,
and that he could fully account for being
caught in the predicament.

"A FIRST RATE SCHOOL,

" BastTuesdhy evening we dropped into DR..
WashingtOn's school room. There had been no
preparation for an examination, but the scholar,
correctly answered questions upon their studies,
asked at random; and they showed at the same
time an understanding of principles and ideas,
as wells as arccolleetiOn Of words.
BY the use of well selected school books
close attention, and judicious system, the Doc
tor has managed to advance his scholars surpri-
singly The plan Of teaching scholars 10 analyse
the language is one not in common use, though
it makes them acquainted in short time with
the meaning and photography of some $4,000
words, and in such manner as indelibly TO i'm
press the knowledge upon the mind Of the
scholar. So that in writing or conversation,
difficulty will scarcely ever occur, either as re-
CARDS the meaning or photography of word.
We have thought proper to call special attention
to this point, not merely on account Of its nov
city, but because it relates TO so very important
. part of education.
About the first of next September DR.. Wash
ington will commence a First Glass Female
Seminary in this city-having secured a sufii-
cient number of scholars to justify him in be-
ginning, That he is capable of conducting such
an institution, is attested not only by the high
recommendations he brought with him 10 this
place, but upon actual trial he has proved him
self an excellent teacher and SO convinced all
the parents of his scholars, who are well
pleased, we believe without exception, with the
progress their children have made.
We should think our citizens would feel dis
posed to sustain such a Seminary as Dr. Wash.
ington will open in September. 1t is expensive
TO send children away from home, for schooling
and, besides, by attracting scholars from abroad
the city receives direct advantage in reputation
and by increased OUTLAWS of money among us.
