Feb. 25th a notice of the revival at tbs
Primitive Methodist Church at Dodgeyille,
had the privilege Of Witnessing part o.
that revival, having been invited by the
Rev. WM. WELLS to- assist him in those
meetings, and | must say it was truly graf
flying to see that large church filed night
after night with attentive hearers, many q!
whom were anxious seekers of salvation
When | left DodgeyiIle on the 18th Of Feb,
some sixty had protested religion and join
ed the church, and the mectiugs were still
being continued. The Episcopal Method
ists also had revival at Dodgeville but
do not know to what extent. Also, lodge
Of Good Templars was organized on the 30
Of Feb. Forty members were initiated the
first night: 50 presume the revival and
Tie Good Templars will put the grocery
keepers on short allowance.
The Primitive Methodists at Mineral Pr
have also had a considerable revival
At Pleasant Valley both the Episcopal
and Primitive Methodiats have had some
additions.
AT Rockville God has been visiting his
people in an unusual manner. We held
meetings every night for four weeks in the
Primitive Church and ! think / never saw
a church SO completely packed with atten-
tive hearers. The result Is, the church
members have increased to twice their for
.nler numbers.
The Rev. Mr.. LEWIS, Congregational
minister, commenced d protracted effort at
Rockville with some good results but IN
consequence of the bad roads the meetings
were discontinued.

are valuable Who can give US other facts
bearing upon the subject Of the profit Of

SCHooL MEETING-The adjourned No

noon sessions oi the schools during the winter
months should commence at two and close at
four and half o'clock. The subject of keep
ing the schools of the center district Wednes'

day for a holiday, was presented, but after
some discussion it was decided tc make no
change. 1t was also voted unanimously TO
take the study of physical geography from the
course of studies in the grammar schools, and
to substitute that of physiology in its place.
Tie petition of Il. Newton and others, for
new school house west of potash Hill,
was referred to the con mittee on school
houses. The plans for new high school
edifce were presented by DR.. Bemis,
and were the subject of considerable discus
sion. The plans have been carefully made in
anticipation of the approaching necessity for
building new accommodations for schools OF
the higher grades in the center district. If
the plans commend themselves to the tavora-

may hope to see, at no distant day, high
school building which shall be not only an

AIDING AND ABETr1NG DIsUNIONIsM,

Syrb nluers as the Boston Courier, Hart
fo,d Times. New Haven Register, and New
. York EXPRESS, say Or assume that the treason
able t,llv of the southern disunionsts is ex-
cusable. Not one OF these papers puts forth an
honest denunriation OF the disunionists but
they all how at the republican party like 50
many wild beasts. OF course they do not
admit that disunionism is a good and proper
thing. but they constantly discuss the whole
matter on the assumption that the successful
existence Of the republican party makes the
present course of the disunionsts quite par
donabe. According to their representations,
all the trouble arises from the great wicked
ness of the republicans who persist in MAIN
tanning that slavery is bad thing which
should not be spread into onr free territories.
We expect to see these newspapers, ana al
those for whom they speak, advocating the
policy Of allowing South Carolina to dictate
the terms on which the Union shall be permit
ted to survive. Some OF them are already be-
ginning 10 insist that the free states should I'M
mediatey become very abject and eat great
deal Of dirt by way OF preparation for such dis
cipline of republicanism as may be necessary to
appease wrathful treason. Perhaps they will
support that measure of Cancellation winch
has been suggested by some patriotic philoso
pher at the south, who proposes to have the
matter compromised by a mutual agreement
that a majority of the southern votes shall be
necessary to give any candidate legal elec-
ton to the presidency. Some of them may
wish to modify this scheme so as to transfer
presidential elections to the South Carolina leg
islature for this would best accord with the spir-
it with which they seem TO be animated. tits
evidently their belief that we should all be
willing to kick freedom and constitutional or
der out OF the Union in order to preser"e the
favor and fellowship Of that very remarkable
little commonwealth. We do not believe,
however that their policy will be generally
endorsed by the American people. But it
contributes much to encourage the disunion.

We think this movement one of the most in-

/ which has come under our notice. lSoiaied'

to us that a large class of the intelligent nee

ton have hitherto enjoyed, in those commune

A separate nationality, with freedom 10 deyel
ope, has always seemed to lis desirable to work
foIth the ends for, and to which the tolls and
trials of the African have led him. We be-
lieye the inevitable logic Of events points
plainly to the ultimate growth in the equator
al regions of the American continent, Of
in empire controlled by the mixed races OF
African blood. The Islands OF the Ameri-
can Archipelago are to day virtually in
possession of that mixed race. In all of the
British West Indies the white population are
vanishing,-so with the other islands. Cuba,
though now in the possession of slavery, is
fast becoming Atrcanized, and must ultimate
ly pass into the hands OF free coorcd race
ST. Domingo, or IIayti, as it is more properly
called, is governed by the colored race. The
eastern or Spanish part is under the govern

western under that OF the Haytan admins

dent Fabre Geffrard. These republics have
maintained their independence for nearly
seventy years, and have secured recognition
OF their nationality from all the principal gov
ernmcntS OF the civilized world, with the soil
tary exception of this Union. The insufera-
Die insolence OF the oligarchy which has con-

cause of this, but we trust it will be remedied

Hayti has now firmly established and pro.
