Dismissal Of School Teachers of Foreign
RIrth

A Geographic dispatch from Louisville, Ky,
July Ii, says:
The Board Of Trustees of the Public Schools
OF this city have dismissed several teachers of
foreign birth with Catholic proclivities, and
1t IS added, their action has OccasiOned much
feeling, and meets with general condemnation
on the part of the members of the old Whig
party.
This reminds us of the fact that when the
Know Nothings Of Philadelphia succeeded to
power, they pursued a course similar to the
above, but the public indignation demanded
the restoration IF the teachers who were dis
missed merely because they worshipped God
according to their own inclinations heinous
sin, in the opinion of the new regulators of
religion and American politics.
In Baltimore, some time after, a movement
was made to effect like objects, but the board
OF school trustees happened to have, at that
time, the discretion to stay their hands from
the infection of such injustice.
The board Of school trustees Of Washington
have not, as yet, been guilty Of prescription of
teachers for the reasons which have Influenced
ruthless bigots Of other cities.

All nature around US wears its richest and
most genial smiles. 1t does us good to look
not only on the profusion of sources of COM
fort and plenty, which nature and the hand
of man are just now producing from bountiful
mother earth pround Washington but also on
the air of contentment, if not unalloyed hap
piness, which are worn on the countenances of
all one meets in a ride, borrowing their aspect
as it were, from the smiling fields, cool dells
and waving woods by which they are sur
rounded.
We, as a people, have, indeed, much to be
thankful for, though those who do not avail
themselves of the opportunity for seeing ma
ture and the busy world in their most fasci-
mating conditions--that is lin the highly cult
waited environs of acity like ours-are certainly
losing among the very best of the blessings
of Providence by which they are just now sur
rounded.

The Threatened India Wharf.-The accounts
received in Washington from the frontier with
reference to thePurposes, the whereabouts and
the means Of the Sioux and other bands of In
dians, that would be openly hostile if they
dared to be, are somewhat contradictory. One
mail brings areport rendering it almost certain
that General Harney's little army will have
bloody work on their hands, while in two or
three days news of an opposite character reach
es US. The only certain conclusion that we
can draw from those advices is, that the au-
thorization of the four new regiments has been
most fortunate to all on the frontier entitled to
the protection Of the Government Of the Uni
ted States; all accounts agreeing in represent
Ing that the news of the preparations which
have thus been made to give due protection to
the frontier, has had salutary influence on
the minds of most Of the tribes disposed to be
hostile at this time.
