THE ELEcrIoSs--The news from the
elections held on Monday, must be extreme
Iy disheartening TO the friends Of the Ad-
ministration. Every where the people have
repudiated all candidates having the slightest
faint of the L~ecompton infamy. In this city
the average majority of the Independents
over the Democracy, is about three thou
sand. The Free labor ticket has again
been overwhelmingly successful in St. LOU
is. It's opponents ia vain resorted to the
basest trickery. St. Louis is e,nphatically a
Free Soil city. Connecticut has followed
the example Of New Hampshire. In old
Connecticut there is hardly a grrase-sput Of
Lecompton left, In these events, ar. BIZ
cbanan must read the handwriting on the
wall. His e3usce as chief magistrate of this
republic is denounced and execreated by q
vast majority Of his fellow-citizens. The
present news Of local disasters to the De
mocracy, is but a symton Of that which is 10
come. This Al minis'r alton party in The
north, is des tined 10 thorough aud husniIia-
ting defeat at all points,-lCincinnati Com

The president gets deeper into the mire
evrey day. He has blundered so abominably

lately passed through San Bernadino,
OH his way from Washington TO Salt

he offered the sum of $500 to any
one whowould carry him 10 the city in

the former connection of Col. Kane

some persons al San Bernadino, who

their impressions were unfounded,
and that he was really an agent Of

We give in substance Mr.. Seamans' plan
OF raising:
Ground plowed once, narrowed once be-

rolled. Sixty bushels unieached ashes
were sown over the poorest part of the
ground. The parts ashed looked best thrO'
tie season. Al ripened eq~uaIly-would
have yielded more seed if it could have been
harvested without rain. The ground had
been in corn three yeaFs previous to The flax,

James, whom he trained from a child

Col. tombstone, in his latest official
dispatches, says that the Mormon
troops are organized to resist the es-
adjustment Of a Territorial Govern
ment by the United States, and in
furtherance of the object, have rect
ed works Of defense in the mountain
passes and neal Salt Lake City.
He does not believe that a spirit of
Cancellation towards them would now
be properly appreciated, or rather
that it would be wrongly Interpreted
in view of the reasonable temper
and feeling p%ervading the leaders, and
a good portion of the Mofmons.
He thinks that neither the honor or
the dignity OF the government will
allow of the slightest concession
They should be made to submit4e-the
constitutional demands of the Gov
eminent Internationally. = An adj
justment of the existing difficulties
upon any other basis would be nuga-
tory. Their threats to oppose the
march of the troops in The spring will
not have the slightest effecti in. delay
ing, and if they desire to join theis-
sue, he believes that it is for theainter-
est of the Government that they
should have the opportunity. sssla

A lot of women's clothing, hanging against

consumed.
Miss RandaI's sufferings are intense
Her clothes were literally burned from her
body, and but little hopes are entertained of
her recovery. A number OF ladies are with

The School Master.

The School-House is a silent teacher; the
place where it stands, the scenery by which
it is surrounded, moro or less excite the young
mind, and give direction to its thoughts
But the principal teacher is, of course, the
ool-maste, the presiding mindin the little
assembly Of thinkers, students, pupils, who
occupy the house aud busy themselves with
the subjects of thought and instruction, in
the midst of the outward scenery, through
the best hours of every day of the week,
during the frcest and most susceptible years
of life The mere pr sence of superior intel
ligence is instructive; the aspect of good
ness is improving knowledge and virtue
are commended to us by daily intercourse
with beautiful example. Good sense, gen.
teness, modesty, propriety, are illustrated
and enforced, by being embodied in real
person, even when he does nothing and says
nothing. Such person cannot BE- and not
do good. His presence reprcsses what is
vulgar, aud awes what is wrong; we instinct
lively set guard upon our lips we move
with greater care, we blush at the conscious
ness of unknd, unge erous, unmanly feel
ings, when he is with US.
And then what difference as an active
teacher, between a clear thinker and discrim-
mating observer, and an obtuse, laundering,
half.educated guide to our studies. What a
mighty difference between sour, petu!ant,
hasty, inconstant temper, and that judgment,
that sell-command that serene and sunny
benignity, that self-respect, and respect for
us, which VIC feel to belong to a true gentle
man, and in the presence Of which thought
full and well-mcaning child is at case and
happy.
In good teacher of common school
taere is combination Of qualities, each Of
value. and never attained or preserved with
out pains and expense. Such a teacl err is
not easily raised, and therefore not common.
Happy is the district that secures him; his
price is above rubies; he is scholar, gen.
tleman and christian.
Cowper hated public schools; poor, senSi.
tive, suffering creature, he never had hap.
Ply momeut in school, and hardly one any.
where else. But he saw what sort of man
a school-master ought to be. In the Trio
cinum. he recommends family teacher;
" Behold that figure, neat though plainly clad,
His sprightly mingled with shade of sad:
Not Of nimble tongue, though lively in discourse,
His phrase well chosen, clear and full Of force;
And his address, If not quite French in ease,
Not English stin, but frank and formed to please;
Low in the world, because he scorns its arts;
man Of letters, manners, MORALS parts"

Necessity Of Friends.

The members of the great human family
appear to have scarcely begun to learn how
much we depend on one another. 81 perish
for the want of friends!" cried Napoleon Be-
naparte, in paroxysm of anguish. With
what intense anxiety did Washington call
for friends from Congress in the darkest days
of our revolution Even the Savior of the
world has left on record the fact that he did
not many mighty works in the city of his kim
bred because he wanted friends.
1t is said to be an old and practical maxim
that there is no friendship in trade" We
do not believe it, and we do not mean our
readers shall, if we can help it. That max
i'm is selfish, wicked, cruel one and we
call on honest and fair men everywhere to
scout it out of existence. No friendship in
trade No unselfsh kindness among business
men Can this be so? Is it indeed true that
in commercial circles every man is to look on
his neighbor as a villain aud scoundrel /?
Has confidence between man and man been
destroyed by the tricks of traffic? We do
not believe it. We will not believe it. Go
preach such doctrine to Hottentots, savages
aud pirates 1t cannot be true of the mer-
camille classes of America,
We are of the opinion that q new pecuni-
airy crisis may be at hand, ere long, and we
have therefore alluded to this subject for the
purpose Of pressing home on the tens of
thousands who read our paper, the necessity
of friendship in all the relations of life.
There is great danger, we fear, that these
common things will be driven out of right
in these stirring times. In the haste of men
to be rich when the facilities of intercourse,
and the appliances OF trade are SO greatly in.
creased, the obligations of kindness and
friendly regard are very liable to be over
looked. With many active business men
business becomes q scrabble, and they will
climb aud climb to reach the topmost round
in the ladder of wealth, at times not stopping
to think how hard they may tread on the
hands Of those who have grasped the rounds
below them. Look back a moment and see
who is struggling by your side! Do not act
as if all the world was made for you and
your family. Be friendly. Be kindly
Others must live as we'll as you. Remember
how hard you have had to struggle yourself
and lend helping hand to your neighbor
What if you lose now and then?
What if you are disappointed in your cal
culations of men? Do not refuse to do
new friendly act on that account. Thinl
of your own shortcomings. Be forgiving
Betriend the needy in time of trial, and yol
will be the gamer in the end.--Erchange.
