ingly and as faithfully as if they expected
to be held pecuniarily responsible forall the
irreparable injuries which incompetent
teachers must, of necessity, infiict on the
rising generation. The provision in the
school law, which aims at this important
end, merits fair trial. The law, in this
regard, is framed nearly on the model of
the school law of Holland, which is con-
sidered the best for securing school in
spection, and the thorough examination
of teachers, that the world has yet seen.
'lf none but properly, qualified teachers
are permitted to find their way into our
schools; if the certificates of the examining
officers, and the sanction of their authority
are given only to those who are intellect
ually and morally fitted, adequately to dis
charge the duties of instructors of youth,
apt to teoch.' competent to communicate
instruction in the mode best adapted to de-
yelop the various faculties of the expanding
mind, patterns alike of moral and social
excellence, our schools will speedily be-
come the fitting temples Of science, the
nurseries of virtue, and the pride and boast
of the State.''

IMf:lD ticide and Poisoning.

The arrest of Mr.. Thompson, of Ran
dolph county, Indiana, on u charge of hav-
ing murdered an infant of Miss Reed, of
which he was the reported ia thcr, by leav-
ing in II hollow stump, while travelling in
this State, attracted much attention some
time since. lie is now in iall in Lebanon
in this State. This was, at this stage, one
of the most shocking tragedies on record.
Thus bad begun, and worse remained be-
hind. The sequel to this child murder is
an accumulation of horror. Miss Reed
died few days after she got home, with
symptoms of poison, and her corpse has
recently been disinterred to make an ex-
animation. The Newcastle Henry Co..
Courier Of Friday last, gives the following
account of the affair:
"On the 23d inst, Coroner Mcdowell
was called to examine the body of Sarah
Reed-who was dinisterred for that pur-
pose-at Brownsville, in this county, near
the line of Randolph. The facts elected
in the investigation, as near as we can
learn, are these: Miss Reed, who has be-
come quite well known through the papers,
as the mother of the child foun1 dead some
time since in a field near Carlisle station,
on the Dayton and Hamilton road, and
with Mr.. Thompson, now in Jail in Leb-
anon, o., awaiting his trial, were charged
with the murder of said child, having been
confined to her bed from illness at Mrs.
Thompson's, in Randolph county, ever
since the child murder was perpetrated,
she was, about the Cd day of this month,
attacked with "chill." Mrs. Thompson
professed to have medicine which would
cure chills speedily, and administered
portion to Miss Reed. The evidence was
pretty strong, though we believe not posi-
tive, that the medicine was taken from a
bottle which had formerly been known TO
contain arsenic"
Very soon after the dose was swallowed,
the young lady complained of intense
thirst, and burning pain in the stomach,
constantly calling for water. She fingered
thus in great agony, until the evening of
the 4th, when she expired. Shortly after
her death, vague rumors were afloat in re-
gard to her being poisoned, but nothing
sufficiently definite was known to warrant
legal action, until by some means it be-
came known that Thompson had written to
his wife, saying that Miss Reed 'smust be
put out of the way, else it would go hard
with him." The suspicious of the people
were confirmed when the Coroner was,
called. A partial examination was gone
through, and the inquest was adjourned 10
meet again at Plountsville, on the ] 9th of
May. In the meantime, Drs. Rea and
Ferris, of this place, who have in possess
sion the stomach of the deceased, with its
contents, will make the necessary chemi-
cal examination, and report to the next meet
ing of the inquest.
A large number of people were colleeeed,
together at the inquest, and the greatest
excitement prevailed. Public sentiment
seems to be very decided against Mrs.
Thompson, though no arrest has yet been
made.

week, will be completed to Athens. AS
Pomeroy is now destitute of any telegraph

kind, would it not be we'll to endeavor to
make some arrangement with that Compa-

without the long delay of Hoyt's "slow
coaches?" We merely ask for informa-
ton.

Middleport, Ohio, May 6, 1857.

LATEST FROM THE FILLIBUsTERs.-The
Cincinnati Commercial, of last Tuesday,
says:
The partizans of the pirates who have
long been devastating Central America,
will probably be convinced by the news in
the New York papers of Thursday, that
it is preposterous to lie any more about the
condition of Walker. The stories of his
immense victories on the 10th of April,
giving him the mastery of Nicaraugua,
turn out to be purely fictitious. The fc-
ton, was, however, founded on fact, but
that fact was fight, in which Walker was
defeated. The latest from Walker is that
he was penned up in Rivas and closely be-
seiged by an overpowering force, while his
effective men were reduced in numbers to
between one and two hundred, and in a
state of starvation. The fillibusters were
strongly fortified in yard between two
buildings, and were maintaining them
selves with the energy of despair. Fresh
forces were joining the Central American
army, and there is no hope for Walker but
to surrender on the best terms that he can
make; and that he is hung before this time
there is little doubt. He probably has
great expectations from the force that at
tempted to fight its way up the San Juan,
but that is utterly dispersed, all that re-
mains of it being beggarly crowd at New
York and arother at New Orleans. The
Costa Ricans are now navigating the San
Juan river in peace. Col. Lockridge is
charged with the ineffable meanness OF at
tempting to sell the arms, ammunition,
and provisions of his men for his own ben
eft, and it is stated that in this enterprise
he was thwarted by the poor fellows who
had served under him. The Costa Ricans
followed the retreating rowdies down the
river, and would have slaughtered them,
had it not been for the protection afforded
them by British vessels. So much for
Central American piracy.

MONEY WASTED.-We are compelled by
our financial necessities to call on all those
indebted to us for Job Work, advertising,
and subscription to ''pay up' Immediately.
Those who are called on personally or by
letter within a short time for the amounts
they owe us, may rest assured we are not
joking about the matter. Although we
have thousands of dollars outstanding, it
is difficult for us to obtain money enough
to meet current expenses, and without a
special effort we are inclined to think our
receipts would dwindle down to zero in a
short time.

To FRIENDS OF EDUcATIoN.-Mr. r.
Bisscll, of Middleport-an ardent friend of
education-being desirous of forwarding
that great cause, by increasing the circu-
lation of periodicals advocating educational
interests, authorizes us to say that he viii
pay one-half the subscription price of the
Journal of Education (fifty cents) for every
subscl iber i'll this county who will send his
name and the balance of the money, before
the first day of July next. He also au-
thorizcs us to offer the Telegraph and Jour
nal of Education for one year, to all who
wish, for $500. Now is the time to sub
scribe. Every school teacher, and friend
of education in the county should take
both, and we know no way they can pro-
cure Them cheaper.

KANsAs.-The latest reliable news from
Kansas is that the peace proposition of the
Free State men has been rejected by Secre-
tary Stanton, acting Governor. The prop
osition was that two persons-one free
state and the other pro-slavery-should be
appointed to correct the registry list in
each township; and that four judges in
each election precinct should be appointed
two of each party-the names of three
judges being necessary to each certificate
of election. Stanton wrote. in answer to
this very reason able and fair proposition,
that it would be impossible for him to con-
sent to any new proceeding in opposition
to that which had been sanctioned by leg
islative authority, Ifa collision ensues,
certainly the Free State men will not be to
blame.

tage to call on us before completing their
arrangements.

The one-horse tillibuster organs are ex-
ceedipgly wroth at ex-Attorney General
Caleb Cushing for calling him who was
the Pirate President of Nicaragua, the
"small man Walker" ''reckless adven-
turer,' whose purposes were those of
"plunder and murder" The Attorney
General saw that the ghost would soon be
be out Of Walkers body, and hence gave
him thrust through his cloud of rainbow
rhetoric. If Walker had been progress
ing toward conquering Central America.
Caleb would, if true to himself as his an
tecedents display him. have at least called
him great man and a missionary of Man
ifest Destiny.

Senator Douglas comes to their rescue, in
Producing into the Platform of the Demo
cratic party the great doctrine of ''squat-
ter sovereignty" that is, that the people
of each territory should be allowed to reg
ulate their domestic institutions in their
own way. According to this doctrine, it
would be un- Democratic for the U. S. gov
ernment to interfere with these Mormon
scoundrels. The Democratic party, by
this doctrine, becomes the especial protector
denominations. If they rob the mails, burn
the court-records, practice polygamy, steal,
murder, &C., what business has govern
ment to correct these evils-are they not
regulating their own domestic institutions
in their own way? The Saints understand
this doctrine of ''squatter sovereignty
perfectly well. On the strength of this
doctrine, the Elders in Utah, previous to
late Presidential election, issued circular,
commanding all Mormons in the United
States to vote the Democratic ticket. They
saw the full force of the doctrine, and its
applicability to themselves.
Of the future, we knoaO nothing. We
see it stated in the papers that Mr.. Buch-
anan is determined to repudiate "squatter
sovereignty in relation to the Mormons,
and send new Governor out there, with
plenty of U. S. troops, to regulate their
domestic concerns in has own way-in 9TH
er words, to enforce the laws of the United
States. Nothing short of this will satisfy
the country. Whatever Senator Douglas
may have intended by his new doctrine, as
applied to Mormonism, it is very evident
the rank and file of the Democracy never
meant to vote for principle which would
permit continuance of Mormon 1awless-
ness; and unless James Buchanan, and the
leaders of the Democratic party teach the
Mormons lesson or two of claw and or
der" we opine that the people will play
the aforesaid Democratic politicians trick
the devil never played them-lea0e them,
for more congenial company.

For the Telegraph.
Union Schools.

Mr.. EDIToR:-Former Legislatures of
Ohio have wisely passed laws providing
free education during seven months in
each year, for its eight hundred and six
teen thousand youth, now within its bor-
der, and of school age. Notwithstanding
the wisdom and justice of the law, Boards
of Education and local Directors here, fail
to give the children and youth the advan-
tages of prolonged schools with thor
oughly qualified teachers. Middleport
now is without free schools, and has not
buildings to accommodate one third of its
children and youth, notwithstanding the
law provides for both most literally. Nor
will it be much better, until the people
rally and hold primary meetings on the
subject of adopting the Union School sys-
tenn, which the wants of their children
call for loudly. 1t tmust be obvious to ev-
cry rejecting mind, that properly graded
school would, be of paramount importance
to the people of Middleport. For it would
augment intelligence largely, and increase
the value of property greatly, by calling
in families from abroad, and pupils for ed
ucational purposes. Union Schools are
working wonders in these respects, in other
places. By the same rule one would pro-
duce the same happy results here; for like
begets like, and in Union their is power
Such school building as Middeport
actually requires for the accommodation OF
five or six hundred children and youth,
would not only be an ornament to the place,
but it is indispensable to an efficient and
we'll regulated system of instruction. 1t
should be substantial, commodious,
comfortable, convenient, and even an ele-
CANT building. If public buildings of any
sort be adorned by the architects hand,
why not the school house? If it be thought
proper to construct imposing edifces for
courts of justice, and for the confinement
of criminals, it appears reasonable that an
equal expense and pains ought to be be-
slowed on buildings where innocent chill
dren assemble daily for growth in knowl
edge. A stately school building is, in it.
self, continual teacher, which proclaims
to every passer by, the dignity and impor-
tance of education. 1t exerts a silent,
though a positive influence upon the hab-
its of youth, who daily resort to an elegant
school edifice for instruction. Human be-
ings soon conform to their external condi-
ton. They are affected by natural as well
as moral causes, and rapidly assimilate
themselves to what is constantly about
them. This is especially so with children,
whose plastic minds and characters are
highly susceptible Of impressions. People
should bear in mind and be encouraged by
the fact, that when they have provided
their children with suitable school house,
the expense will not recur for generation.
Parents ought to bear in mind, that it is
much cheaper and better educating chill
dren at home than abroad. For what it
would cost to send child off to school,
dozen might be as we'll taught here, if
there was a prolonged Union School.
