piled to the people of the Free States, such
expressions as "gibbering and bowling

the like may be, still we venture tosay they
are terms and figures which do not of ne

high mindedness or refinement
"Out of the abundance of the heart the

So much for the superfne refinement of
the editorial mind of New Africa.
What shall we say of the community
which feeds and thrives upon this produce
of the Southern Press; which is satisfied
and surfeited with it; which takes de-
light in and approves it?
Vulgarity is disgusting to the refined
mind; and however much Southern Aris-
tocracy may reitcrate 1--WE are so refined,
so cultivated" while they defy such a
man as Brooks, and approve and reflect the
vulgarity and coarseness of the Southern
Press, we must question the genuinencss
of their boosted refinement.

Gy The Charleston Mercury of the
18th and 18th instant containes some
information, very agreeable to northern
readers of blockade initiated at that
port by the U. S. steamship Niagara.
We congratulate our Charleston friends
on the prolonged opportunity they will
have of studying the beautiful proper
lions of the crack vessel in the American
navy. 1t is also, from hygienic point
of view, satisfaction to know their heat
ed systems will not be injured this sum-
mer by their hitherto imprudently lavish
indulgence in the consumption of ice car
goes from New England and Nova Scotia.
At last advlces our friends still nearer the
tropics, the good people of Savannah, for
instance, were enjoying this dangerous
luxury but the blockade seems to be
working southwark at rate which. by
this time, must have placed them also in
the sound sanitary condition existing
along the Virginia and Carolina shores.

"The State of Missouri is SO enfiladed

ca Two persons were committed to
the jail in this town last week on the
charge of larceny. Onc--a stranger
hailing from down country, and pretends
to be painter--called at Mr.. Alanson
Aldrich's in this town, and engaged to
paint Mr.. AS house at cheap rate Fri
day morning, when Mr.. Aldrich was about
ready for him to commence the job of
painting the house, and while he was out
milking the boarder escaped. Mr.. AL
drich at this time began to feel suspicious
of him, and soon found he had taken a
watch from his hired man, and had en-
tered his own room and taken $53 in cash.
Mr.. A. notified the conductors of the
railroad, and when the freight train North
reached Lyndon Corner, the paint
or was there, ready for passage up
on it. He was arrested, examined, and,
in default of bail, committed for trial at
the next term of the county court.
The other person committed is not q
stranger to our county Jail. He is the
same David Livingston who once escaped
through the diamond hole in the door of
the room in which he was lodged, but was
afterwards arrested and tried for larceny,
and short time since left the States pris-

Atprecisely 8 o'clock Monday after
noon, by order of the government, de-
cent was made by the United States Mar
shals upon every considerable telegraph
Office throughout the free States, and the
accumulated dispatches of the twelve
month past were seized. The object was
to obtain evidence of the operations Of
the southern rebels with their northern
accomplices, which the confidential tel
egrams passing between them could most
certainly furnish. The seizures in all the
principal cities were made at precisely
the same time SO as to prevent the des-
truction Of evidence which might have
followed the receipt Of warning from
any particular point. The whole matter
was managed with the greatest secresy,
and SO we'll planned that the project was
complete success. BY this bold maneu-
yer the Government has obtained posses
sion Of a mass of evidence of the greatest
Importance. The secret operations Of
northern traitors are laid bare, and those
who have aided and allotted the rebellion
are now completely at the mercy Of the
officers Of the Law

In this city alone the dispatches in the
hands of the federal officers amount to
many thousands, and include, of course,
information in regard to the purchase of
arms, ammunition and equipments, pur-

ton of rebel loans, the purchase and
treachery of army and navy officers, the
secret plans for dividing the people of the

Government towards surprcssing the rebel
lion, and every other imaginable species
of testimony which the Pirates of the

they will, but when you come to lay be-
fore them these Associations and Conven-

to strengthen and benefit them; viii they

tage of getting together and getting ac-

ling together of the masses and talking
over the best and most advantageous way
to educate the rising generations.
The great cry now is, why do we not
have better schools My answer to that
question would be, because the people do
not take hold and try to getup an interest
and encourage their teachers. There is a
certain few who are laboring hard and
wearing out their lives in the cause of ed
ucation. These are the ones who estab-
lish these institutions for the benefit of
teachers, and they invite the people to
come in and spend two or three days in
talking over and inventing the most FEAST
bic plans for the education Of their chill
dren. And yet, we are sorry to say it,
these meetings are but poorly attended,
hardly enough gets together to make a
decent meeting. Still the cry is, why do
we not have better schools? 1t must be
self-evident to any candid, thinking mind.
that unless the people take hold better
than they now do, aoe shall meuer haze good
schools! Still another great trouble is,
the schools are not visited as they should
be. The teacher is hired and placed in
the school house. and there they stay for
two or three months, and nobody goes
in to visit the school, unless it be the
Superintendent, and l sometimes think
some of them would not Co. were it not
that the law required it. Now these are
facts and must be remedied before we can
have good schools.
We say then, give us Teachers Associ-
ations, and other educational meetings for
the benefit Of the community, and let us
wake up outof this "Rip-Van- Wrinkle"
sleep, for we are told he only slept ten
years, but we have been asleep for more
than fifty years, on this subject. Let the
people come together then when there is
an opportunity, and mingle their views to-
gether, and talk the thing over freely, and
then we will look for better schools.

For the Newsdealer.


Mr.. EDITOR Having recently attend
ed one Of these meetings, allow me to make
a few remarks concerning the benefit of
such institutions
Any scholar after studying for years to
prepare themselves for the responsible po-
sition of teacher, can not have to much
help and support from the community.
When they become of the right age to as
sumo the duties of teacher, they not only
want thorough knowledge Of their books.
but clear understanding Of the best way
and manner to govern and control their
schools. A person may study the science
Of medicine for years, and still not attend
medical lectures, and they will be but
poorly adapted to take hold of all cases
that may come under their notice during
their practice. Another may become pretty
we'll acquainted with all points Of law, and
study hard to become frst-class lawyer,
and still if they never leave the Office and
avail themselves Of suits at law and know
how to apply their knowledge Of it to the
best advantage, and they would mako but
poor teacher indeed.
Just so it is with the person preparing
for the avocation Of teaching. They may
study and study, and yet unless they know
how to apply their knowledge to the best
advantage, they will make poor teachers.
Perhaps some one may say. they will gain

PUTTING IT STRONG. The Savannah
Republican, a Bell and Everett organ in
the last campaign, and always regarded
as one of the most conservative journals
of the South, says.
"If one half the northern people feel
and think as we infer from their papers
and they represent vast majority in
every State--we would as soon confederate
with the cannibals of the south Sea or the
Thugs of India as with them. They have
forced us to the separation, and now, we
say let it be forevcr-and even beyond
that time should God in his providence
permit. We want nothing to do with
such people, either in Time or Eternity"

To the Editor of the Boston Journal:
Our Regiment arrived here yesterday Mon
day. morning about 8 o'clock. We had
a remarkable pleasant voyage from New
York. The sea was calm and weather
pleasant, yet many of the men suffered
with sea-sickness, and were glad to step
on shore again.
On landing, the regiment was found in
marching order, and amid q continuous
roar of cannon and the shouts of multi
tudes, proceeded to the northeast of the
fort. where on small fiat we pitched our
tents and made ready for supper, which
was eaten with great relish.
The hand of a kind Providence has
thus far been with us. No accident be-
You'd the scratch of finger has befallen
any one in the regiment since we struck
our tents at Rutland on the 10th inst,
But to day several are sick. Several in
the Bradford company are down with the
measles, and some twenty more are candi-
dates for it. With good management
they will all be out again soon.
There is some sick in the Mortified
Company, induced by sea-sickness and
taking cold. Among those i'll are Messrs.
Clafin and Smith, and Capt. Boynton.
l have just sent a carriage and brought
Boynton over to Wizards Hotel, and Sc
cured him room adjoining mine. He is
doing WE'LL and will have all the care he
would at home.
The Vermont Regiment, though stran-
gers few weeks since, are brethren now,
One fanily-one interest. I need not
tell you that the praises of nearly every
body are poured upon u.s.
If our department and heroism shall
render us deserving such eulogy as is be-
slowed, it will be glory enough for one
year, though if an attack should be made
upon this fort soon, as is now threatened,
we should reap other renown. The boys
seem little impatient to try their skill
at defense.
I was upon the camp-ground this fore
noon, and saw all the oficers--all cheer
full and happy. The weather is warm
and sultry. We had very smart rain
and thunder storm this forenoon, and We
are threatened with more.
