BArARD TAYLOR TO BE MARRIED.
The N. Y. M;rror of last contains the
following paragraph: .r -.s..-t
AS other journals have already men,
toned the fact, it is perhaps, not impro-
per for us to state that Mr.. Bayard Tay-
lor is about to be married to Miss Marie
Hansen, daughter of the eminent Ger
man astronomer of that name. The
wedding will take place at Gotha, the
residence of the BRIDES family, in the
Autumn after Mr.. Taylor's return from,
the North Cape. The happy couple
will spend the next Winter at Moscow.
This event will not prevent the execu.
ton Of Mr.. Taylor's plan Of an explo-
ration of Central Asia previous to his
return to this country.

For the Times.
Mr.. EpiToR /:


Mr.. Enron:
The question is often asked why do people
leave the East to seek new homes in the West :?
Why do they break old tries and associations
and leave behind the hallowed spots which are
indissolubly connected with all that is Icr ard
sacred to man Why do they rudcly sever ties
which lifetime has been consumed in making?
The answer is, an irresistible longing to follow
the path of the setting Sun which ever has been
a characteristic of man ; that feeling, that de.
sire was given to them by God for purpose
peculiarly his own from the earliest ages the
face Of man has been turned toward the West.
Then the East was the seat of learning and
civilization, but as the arts and sciences pre-
crossed they expanded toward the West.
Eighteen hundred years ago the victorious
Caesar landed in Gaul and Britain, Ohcn con-
sidered the Western extremity Of the Earth)
bringing with him the manners and customs of
the East they we're transplanted in a hardy
climate and thrived not well at first. but hen
the light of christianity dawned upon them they
saw the advantages of civilization and eagerly
embraced them. Forr hundred years since,
Columbus in the fulfillment of his destiny and
actuated by feelings OF insI iration, turned the
Irow of his ship toward the West and pl.nted
the standard of civilization in America. The
same rests IS spirit which actuated the sires was
inherited by their sons and they too TUNED with
longinu ewes tn the West seeking the rrOmised
land at last they crossed the Father of Waters
leaving behind their traces. onward they march,
where will it end The Missouri is behind
them and the Pacific is before their eyes the
extremitics of the Earth are reached. and the
divine injunction, (Go ye in every land, in every
cline and preach my world has been obcyed.-
What more can man do Hisdest,ny has been
accomplished, christianity and its shadow, civil
lization, have made their circuit of the Earth
and returned to the starting point.

ILLEG1BLE WRIr1NG.--Much of alleg-
ed dissatisfaction over alleged disregard
of promptness in replying to inquiries,
on the part of the Government here,
arises from the fact that they are illeg-

ton to the Indian Bureau day or two
since, evidently conceived by the writer
to be of great importance to him, all

FRIGHTENED OUT OF HIS SKIN.-A
yonng man went out hunting for deer in
the woods near Lamark, CIV, recently
and as an experiment he clothed himself
in a deerskin and took stand where
those animals were known to pass quite
often. While thus intent upon securing
some game. another hunter came near
making game of him; for happening to
see what he supposed to be fine deer
through the thicket, the new conner took
deliberate aim at it, and fired. Fortu-
nately the ball missed the counterfeit
deer, but it succeeded in Frightening
him out of his skin"

Public attention ia invited to the Cir

issued by Superintendent Fisher, to the
several School Fund Commissioners of

He takes the right ground; and will
undoubtedly be sustained by the subor-.

sense of the ludicrous has been so
nightly tickled. or sense of propriety
shocked, by the bungling, clumsy,
wretched, and unbecoming transaction,
which "labored and brought forth" the
appointment of DR.. Stone.
No doubts that it was an impolitic
measure. No man but knows that it
was dictated to a great degree by per-
sonal vindictiveness towards the late
Superintendent, No man but can see
it has been source of infinite trouble
and confusion in the county officers, as
we'll as an insult to the people of the
State whose rights and interests must
have suffered by it no little.
Whatever high crimes and INSIDE
meanors might have been urged against
DR.. Eads by his political enemies, he

recognized. Notwithstanding he was
charged with enormous offences against
the State, he went UNPUBLISHED, until

OFFICE OF SuPr. PUBLIC IN:rRuc'r.,l
r. Iowa City, June 10, 1857.
S1R:-I have received your letter
asking information and advice, respect
ing the apportionment of school money,
with the accompanying instructions,
dated, March IA, 1857, made by James
D. Eads, claiming to acts as Superintend-
ent of Public instruction, and the let
ter of Joseph G. Stone, also claiming to
act in the same capacity, countermand-
ing the apportionment and instructions
of Mr.. Eads. ., -.gsra
Mr.. Eads came into the office of Su-
perintendent of Public Instruction by a
good title, and at the date of the appor-
tionment was in possession of the office,
denying the right Of Mr.. Stone to it,
and actually discharging It's duties
l do not mean to express an opinion as
to the right o, either of these gentle
men to the Office in question; but ad-
hitting the right of Mr.. Stone, under
the appointment of the Governor, he
could not, on the refusal of Mr.. Eads
10 surrender the Office to hun, enter up
on the discharge of his duties, and re-
quire the obedience of School Fund
Commissioners to his instructions,
without first enforcing his right and ad-
mission to the Office by the Judgment of
tn, proper judicial tribunal. This Mr..
Stone has not done and hes never been
in possession of the Office. Mr. Eads
was Superintendent of Puplic Instruc-
ton in fact, and where the right to an
office is in controversy, the acts of the
holder of the Office in fact, are in gene
raj valid and binding on other officers
in the same department. a.l .4a@
1t is, therefore my opinion, that it is
the duty of School Fund Commission
ers to distribute the school money accor-
ding to the. apportionment sent to them
by Mr.. Eads; and that the School Fund
Commissioners upon whom drafts were
drawn by Mr.. Eads for the purpose o.
carrying into effect that apportionment,
should pay them promptly on prcsenta'
ton.
