Ea- On the thirtieth ult., several Of our
citizens took trip to Barclay, for the purpose of dedi-
eating the School House. which has just been erect
ed by the Company at expense of about seven hun
dred dollars. 1t was of great disappointment
to those directly interested in the proceedings that Mr.
MCFARLAND the superintendent of the whole operations
not present. All regretted his absence and none
than he for he had felt great interest in the COM
peton of the house and much credit is due to him for
the prompt and energetic efforts that he has put forth to
have erected there comfortable building for the miners
to worship in the Sabbath well for the education
of their children during the rest Of the week The edi
flee is really ornament to the place, and speaks well
for the beray and correct views of the members Of
the Company, who advanced freely all the money asked
for and even suggested alterations and improvements
that increased the expense 1t is decidedly the best
school house in the county and is provided with bell
which be heard when rung, by every person in the
neighborbOod.
The exercises commenced at o'clock, P. NJ, by
singing reading the scriptures and prayer by the Rev.
Mr.. DOUGLAS Mr.. TIDD, of the gents of the Com
pany, then gave short history of the building Of the
house. speaking of the anxiety felt by many of the
bers of the Company that the house should be finished
at early day. and made in every way suitable for the
comfort of all concerned also of the untiring efforts of
Mr. MCFARLANE to have the wishes of the Company car
red out.
Mr.. TIDD was followed by Rev. Mr. FOSTER who ad-
dressed particularly parents upon the importance
Of the physical intellectual and religious education of
their children. The County Superintendent then ad-
dressed the children the parents and the teacher he
followed by Rev. Mr.. CHILD who also spoke to par
ents upon the importance of and udicous discrni
nation in the training of their children Mr.. TIDD next
addressed the children, and followed by Rev. Mr..
DOUGLAS who urged upon parents to give good heed to
the religious training of their offspring The remarks
of the several speakers all calculated to leave good
impressions upon the minds of the hearers One of the
school directors, Mr.. CoLE of Franklin District was
present, well very many of the miners and all ap
peared gratied that convenient building had been
provided for the intellectual and moral education of the
citizens of the place and their children.
The exercises closed az o'clock by singing
very appropriate hymn by those who conduct that part
of the religious exercises the Sabbath On the first
inst the school commenced under the charge of Mr.. P
CoBURN. an experienced teacher of LeRaysyille.

tian. Yet here they have been in session near
ly week at Charleston, says the Albany
Evening Journal, and they have done nothing
day in and day out, but agitate the Slavery
question
Why ac'H they persist in keeping up agita-

let the country, which was at peace, remain at
peace? Why do they thus reckIessly imperil
our glorious UNION?
Do they not know that the Slavery Ques.
ton has been settled ? Do they not know that
it has been FINALLY settled They have urged
this very point for years, every one of them,

they will not let it stay settled, but dig it up
