Schools.


"Ottawa is greatly deficient in schools"
has become stcrcotypcd expression, but
we think there are now some signs of pro.
gress in that line. -...- -.r..,.
We understand that the school directors
held meeting this week, for the purpose of
discussing and planning measures of reform.
What was done we know not but are told
that the spirit Of education is stirring up the
deep lethargy of old fogyism, that has hoy
cred over this place ever since it dawncd up
on creation. The former neglect which this
subject has received, is one of those "sins Of
OMISSION" the effect of which it will take
many years to countcract.
Weare also Informed that several of our
prominent and more wealthy citizens are ia
king measures to- get a charter for high
school or an academy. There seems to be
considerable zeal manifested on this subject.
The money now expended by many of our
citizens, in sending their children abroad to
be educated, would, in two or three years,
amount to enough to establish first best
academy here. With little unity of &C.
ton, and with the same amount of money
now expended, we might have just such
schools as we want and which would afford
facilities for those children whose parent.
are not able to send them abroad, and enable
those who do, to educate them at onc-fifth
the expense, and that, too, at home under
the parental roof
There will be meeting tonight at the
court house to discuss the matter. Turn out
an interesting time is expected

THE ERIE RAILROAD WAR AGAiS.--On the
4th inst the Erians had great meeting, and
resolved to tear up the railroad track. On
the Sth one mile of the track vas taken up
at IIarbor creek and one bridge destroyed
The Sheriff was driven from the ground and
pelted by the sovcrcigns with rotten eggs and
snow balls. Judge Miles was pelted with
stones.
Since the troubles year ago, the rights
of the Erans and the railroad have been de-
tcrmincd by the supreme court of Pennsyl-
yania. The Erians were held to have the law
on their side. What the cause is now for n
! tracas we have not learned. Perhaps it is
because the company have not complied with
| the orders of the court.
On the morning of Jan. 10th, the supreme
court granted a writ of arrest, and Marsha
Kcyscr was ordered to Erie
The Il. h. bridges were being rebuilt
The common council of Eric had numerous
petitions before them to order the bridges &c
be taken down and kept down. 1t was
finally decided to lay the matter on the tabl,
and wait the action of the Legislature.

CONVICTION OF G. W. GREEN--NEw TRI-
AL.-Thc case of Gro. W. GREEN, indicted
in the Cook county circuit court, for the
murder of his wife, was submitted to the
jury on the 2ath ult., after patient and Ia
borous investigation, which lasted twelve
days; when after four hours dclibcration,
the jury returned the fearful verdict Of gull
ty. The convict being man of wealth and
influence and the evidence given against him
being altogether circumstantial his trial ex-
cited intense interest in Chicago, and was at
tended by large crowd of spectators, es-
pecaly on the last day.
After the rendition Of the verdict, a mo-
ton fora new trial was entered by the coun-
sci for the defense, which was argued during
the most of last week. On Saturday, the
9th inst, the judge gave his decision sustai.
ming the motion. The new trial was granted
on account Of misunderstanding between
the court and counsel concerning the obcc,
of admitting certain evidence, which was ru
led out
Julgins$om the accounts Of the matter
given in the Chicago papers, we should con
cludc that public sentiment there was very
strong against the prisoner.

Money Matters..Farmery.

THERE'S no class of community by whom
the strnscncy in money matters will be so
slightly felt as among the farmers. There
is no business or general occupation which
is new followed with so much satisfaction,
CT with so much profit, as that of agricul-
tsee. This is one of the most encouraging
signs Of the times. For year or two past,
the prices of farming produce have been
high and Of ready sale, and farmers have
well improved their opportunities. And
while other occupations are being continual
ly harassed by want of money, the tiller
ofthc soil, and especially here in Illinois, is
gathering in means from his immense guam
titles of grain, for which he has a convenient
market, and ready and high priced sale
Under the present state of affairs he scarcely
feels the vast and boisterous fluctuations
that are Of daily occurrence in business
speculations. But once let agriculture
fail, and every thing else will soon feel the
OBJECT. All can see that agriculture occu-
pies the central position among the employ
ments Of men. 1t is the parent of them all,
around whose board they all gladly crowd
when they get hungry and must have some
thing to cat. When it ilourishes, the platter,
is well filled; when it grows lean, it effects
in a proportionatc degree the quantity and
quality of the public rations; and people
never work to good advantage on empty
bellies.
With regard to prices no one need expect
any great change. The profits of raising
food will regulate the supply, and the sup
ply will guagc the price with relation to
other things. Foreign war or domestic Ca
lamity may effect this point for awhile, but
wars must cease, and there is reason to rest
our faith calmly on the basis of the hand of
ofthe God of Provdencc, which is both mer.
ciful and just. These facts, with others, are
having their influence, on the public mind
and thousands are determining to become
extensive farmers who have heretofore been
inclined to other cmplymcnts.

Euroncan News.


Further news by the Asia, states that for
for several days before the 3lst Of Now, the
siege had been practically suspended-that
the batteries of the allies were used mp and
silent, and that their army was exhausted by
excessive labor, and inccssant exposure to
the weather. The relaxation of the fire was
evident, but the allied army was in good spi-
rtS, and inflicted severe chastscmcnt on the
Russians whenever they attacked them.
The fighting consists entirely Of sor,ics,
made 10y the Russians during the night.
Every night about nine O'Clock, the Flagstaff,
Quarantine aud Wall batteries open furious
cannonade, which from 30 TO A minutes, is
as hard as the men can load, right into the
French lines, and then follows instantly a
sally, the result Of which is invariably the
same-the Russians push a strong column
out of the place, rush towards the first line,
drive in the pickets and Riiiumen, get up to
the first parallel, sometimes into it, occasion.

lei, where they are received rs they advance
by the French covering parties with a deadly
fire they halt and fire in return, are charged
by the French, who rout and pursue them
into the town, but who are obliged to retire
by the flank fire Of the batteries and street
guns. In this way the French lose 10 or 81
men, but the loss Of the Russians in these
dicrtes must be considerable Frequently
about day break the Russians repeat the per-
Torrance.
The Russians have much strengthened
their dcienccs. They have scarped the
ground in front of thcr batteries, have con-
structed strong abattiS in front Of the lines,
thrown up numerous carthwo. ks, and made
sunkcn batteries before all their rodoubts and
along scmp Of slopes. During the night n
particularly strong sortic was made on the
French. Hearing noisc, French rneman
crcpt forward aud saw column of Russians,
1000 strong, forming in the rear of the bat
terry. The French, therefore, 700 strong, 81
lcnty mounted the parapet of their own bat
terry, and received the Russians with a deadly
yolley-thcn leaping down, attacked them
with the bayonct, and compelled them to re
treat.
On the 29th Of Nov flags oftrucc were cx-
changed, respecting money for the prisoners.
Deaths from fever and cholera were about
sixty daily
The Allies were sufficiently entrcnchcd
and proYisioncd to remain throughout the

Know NOthing.i>m.


This strange mania seems to continue to
spread. Every day We receive the news ola
large Know Nothing majority in some city.
Great men and politicians are continually
being reported as joining this mysterious
order. The last we have noticed is that of
Hon. j. j. Hale. He hesitated long time
about entering, as the order did about re-
ceiving him. 1t was proposed by Some Of
his friends to form special lodge to secure
his introduction, but, we understand, that
eXpedient was finally found necessary. He
will doubtless be the Know-Nothing candi-
date for senator from New Hampshire, where
he might have had formidable rival in
drawn from the order. The partial Access
sion of Mr.. Everett to the principles Of the
Know Nothings is also announced. lie goes
no further than to advocate an extension OF
the period Of naturalization, which he re-
CARDS as the conservative ground for the
wing party to stand on.
Gov. Gardner of Massachusetts, in his
message, makes this the principle topic of
discussion.
lie notices the great increase Of foreign
immigrants III $780, and the crime incident
thereto, and urges that craftsmanship should
interfere within the limits Of the constitu-
ton to the direct ameloraton and control of
these elements. Contends that the domi
nant party must regulate the incoming class,
and recommends thai all schools of the state
use the same language, to disband all militia
ry companies founded on developing eyclu-
sively foreign sympathies, to return the bible
to the publ, schools, and to oppose every
measure tending to a union of church and
state. The Governor is particularly severe
on the subject of imported dcmagogues red
republicans, and Others who seek their own
advancement at the expense ofthc best in
tereatS of the state lie urges as the best
plan, that foreigners should be nationalized
before they are naturalzcd, and is opposed to
the present easy mode of naturalization He
holds that the foreigner is cntitedto all the
blessings of the country, but that the nation
should continue to administer the law accor.
