In the ordinary Female Schools of the country, where
one teacher 10 employed, 1t 10 impossible, for want Of
dime, for the teacher to devote that constant, personal at.
renrion that Is needed. In sach schools, the little pupil in
music 10 necessarily sent to the piano to learn and p:ac-
dee her music without assistance. Should there be but
ten scholars, and a half hour only devoted by each TO
music, the teacher being present, i've hours Of the teach
er's time will be consumed, and but little left for the in
s~truction In other studies. To this may be traced many
of the complaints of Female Schools.
The great object OF my Scholastic secure the constant,
personal attention OF the Teachers to every Department.
For this purpose, two teachers are employed. One to at.
tend TO the ordinary English Branches. including Msthe.
mates and the Sciences, and the other to Music. French,
and Ornamental Branches. Miss +. T. ScorT will again
have charge of the fret Department. By her fidelity and
her a~miability of character, she secures the love of all
her pupils; and from my own examinations, ! know that
those under her instruction progress with extraordinary
rapidly and proficiency.

Another Editorial Shooting Affair.

On the 18th inst, NJ. B. MuLxERN, for
merly connected with the Dubuque North
,rest, but now Prosecuting Attorney Of Du-
buque county, attempted to shoot J. B.
Dom, of the Express & Herald. The d.
ficulty grew out of an article published by
DoRR, in relation to seduction case, in
which it was stated that MULKERN was in
some way remotely connected. The latter
went to the office Of DoRR, and requested
him to publish counter statement, which
he had prepared. The Times says, that
some words passed between the parties,
when MULkERN fired at Dom twice.
Mr.. CROSBY, the book-keeper, then sprang
towards Mr.. NJ, who shot at him, the pow
der soaring his right wrist, the only wound
received in the ARRAY. Mr.. NJ. snapped his
pistol fourth time, as he passed out of the
door, chased by Mr.. DoRR, with a cane.-
He was arrested, taken before Justice Cots
chalk, and bound over in the sum of one
thousand dollars. The Times further saws,
that '.judging from the position of the par
ties, and the ball-holes in the office of the
Express & Herald, Mr.. DoRR and Mr..
CRosBY, both narrowly escaped death.

sIR:-Having noticed in your valuable paper, . few

all the Volunteer and Uniformed Companies Of the
United States upon Of the Broad Praires Of Illinois,
We are struck with the suggestion snd think It one Of
the erandes ideas promulgated by the press since
eur National existence. Although upon the OUTPOST

ed Company, known a. the Coxscu 6is6s Guards,
which will gladly respond to the call, hoping that all
similar Companies in the u s. will readily rsepond to
the same; believing that il such Review should take
place, that the force there assembled, as American
Freemcn, (nnder armt) would be sufacient, both in
number and military talent aud science to strike ter

curde.

brought him to the Territory, gave him shell
ter, clothed his unbreeched limbs, and as
tonished his pockets, by helping him to reach
up into Uncle Sans ''strong box, !" has been
defeated. We certainly could desire no
higher commentator and eulogy, than the
abuse Of such person as the editor Of the
Nebraskian, who unites the contemplate
vices Of vulgar impertinence, low ssrvility,
and base demagogueism, with that of ar
rant poltroonery. Under the control and
direction OF Chapman, this editor first
emerged from obscurity, to which his intel
lectual imbeciity and moral deficiency had
consigned him in Ohio, and be is now in q
fair way to be again consigned to that fate
from which his servility, his adaptabiity to
a service too base for the generality Of men,
could alone have dragged him. Such a
character ordinarily, only the scayenger
and nuisance abater would be justified in
handling with pair of tongs. We hare no
disposition to stir him.
