The SixoPE BArr1E.-ln speaking Of
the late naval battle at Sinope, the New
York Tribune holds that the result must bo
set down favorable to the Turks. il says
that the superiority of the Russians was very
great, and the valor of the Turks no less
desperate than we had supposed. Indeed,
the affair now wears the appearanee'of a
Russian rather than Turkish Dsieai, for
two of The Museovite ships were des-
troyed in the contest. The carnage among
the Turks was exceedingly great, fire thou
sand Of Them having been killed in this SIN
gle fight, as appears BY the most authentic
reports. Certainly the fighting was desper-
ate, and whatever the bravery Of the Rus
SLAMS, considering their overwhelming supe-
riority, they could not have fought with the

COMMON SCHOOLS.

Mr.. EDITOR AS the question Of Common
Schools is up, wish to make some reflections
for consideration.
When physician is called to see patient
he will try, in the first place, to find out the ma
ture of the disease before he prescribes the rem
edy. So in this case What then is the dis
easel
/. Want of government.
2. Want of teachers, trained and qualified
for the work
8. Want Of adequate wages and encourage
ment to induce competent persons to engage as
permanent teachers. .......,..... -s.....ass
| 4. Want of interest in school committees and
superintendent
5. The Indifference and apathy of parents.
They have school, and they send their chill
dren but whether they learn Or net, play OF
study, slide down hill Or study their lesson, is
q matter of little consequence to many, though
not all, hope. ~
What can be done to remedy these evils
l. Let the Legislature decide whether neces
sary and proper government shall be sustained
Let them decide what authority the teacher
shall possess, and how far he shall be sustained
1t is time the question should be settled, wheth
er government shall be sustained, and who shall
possess the executive powers, the boys,the teach
er, the committee, or all together. How cal
we expect that men, who have any regard 10
their,own characters, will devote themselves tt
teaching while they are liable to be hauled
driven out Of school by the larger boys, or to b
dismissed with disgrace, because some unreason
able prejudice has been raised against them!
q TEACHERS, are they generally well traine
and competent to the work., Young in years
little self government; ignorant of the world,n
capacity for governing; can children profit un
der their instruction. They want to be traine
for their work. encouraged in it and kept in

other cases, that practice makes perfect!
Tho other points leave for wise men to loo
at and dispose of as they can.
The Romanists say our common schools al
"godless insttutons' We should take Cal
chat the charge be not true. Let the Bible,a AN
prayers, and morality be banished from on

Of Virginia, backed up by the entire South, is
making desperate effort to secure decision to
protect slave holders in their soealled property,
i'm travelling through or sojourning, in any of
the free States, comes before the Supreme Court
Of New York, this month. The case is to be
managed by the Attorney General of Virginia,
on one side, and e. D. Culver and Ogden HoG-
saan on the other. The case will not be settled,
probably, till it reaches the Supreme Court of
the United States, from which, we fear, the
friends Of Freedom have not much to hope.
