COMMON SCHOOL ANNIVERSARY AT
MIDDLETOWN

Mr. EDITOR Il noticed an article in your
paper of March l4th purportrng TO be a report
of the Common School Anniversary" which
came off at MIddletown on the 25d OF Februa-
ry." And now,as part of those who were inter,
ested in the proceedings on that occasion, would
not like TO have things wrongly reported or be
misrepresented by partial reporter, / write this
communication that the people Of Rutland county
may understand how that 80 Common School
Anniversary" was managed, il here I'm
derstoOd 10 have been. As our Spectator" has
eulOgized some who took part in the exercises
Of the evening, and has passed others over in
silence, it will be necessary to show how that
Anniversary was gotten up, and how things
were conducted in getting ready for the casiOn.
Two certain persOns-a gentleman and lady
whom Spectator" has spoken so highly OF,
had their own way in everything; they had pri-
vate meetings, when they undone all that was
done at the regular meetings before, which did
not suit their fancy, and laid plans to manage
the next one themselves. AT one meeting, get.
ting printed schemes was talked Of and finally
it decided not to have any but before the
getting together of the next meeting the gentle
man aforesaid was going around soliciting
change" TO get printed schemes, with the sim
pie excuse that he didn't want 10 pay for them
himself
Thus things went on; the Company" manag-
ing the whole concern 81 Spectator speaks OF
their experience as teachers while he says httle
or nothing about two Others who have had equally
| as much experience and as good success in teach
ing.
Spectator" represents that the schools were
| all at the examination, and all belonged in Mts
town, neither of which is correct The schools
were not all here; three schools in town were
not roP~~eer's~d 80 IA - ~---'--'--'-'''-
Lille district was from IInmOuth.
Again, he speaks as though all were teachers
who took a part in the exercises Of the evening
| This is not so. One who took an active part IN
the Colloquies" was not teacher, and two 9th
ers who took smaller part he passed over IL
! silence, not even mentioning their names
| The piece by one of the young men was not
| original, and only struggled in by his friends
| the Company
| BY giving this an insertion in your paper you
will oblige ONE VINO Knows.
| MiddIetown March %. 1861.

OFFICIAL CORRESPONDENCE on SECESSION
The State department replied Monday, to
the note OF the confederate States 'commi> soners.
Secretary Seward declined to receive them in
their official capacity, bat expressed Difference
for them as gentlemen. The letter indca ties a
peaceful policy by government, declaring its
purpose to defend only when assailed There
will probably be a continuation of the correspon
dence. 1t is uncertain when the commissioners
will leave Washington probably not for severa
days.
WHOLESALE SECESSION OF SLAvEs.-A dis
patch states that one hundred and six fugitive
slaves left Chicago. Sunday night, for Canada
1t is estimated that 1000 fugitives have arrived
at Chicago from the slave States since last fall
Three hundred fugitive slaves, arriving at De-
troit principally through Illinois, have left that
city for Canada since Saturday.
ELECTION CERTIFICATES WITHHELD Gov
Robinson of Kansas withholds the certificates OIL
election from Messrs. Lane and Pomeroy, a:
United States senators, on the ground that doubt
exists TO the legality of their election by tn
Legislature.
ARMY REsIGNATIoNs.-Major Holmes, COM
manding officer at Governors Island, resigned
his commission, Saturday. He is North Car
Gilman, and is said to have resigned because he
believed hostilities against the South were about
to commence. Two officers of lower grade also
threw up their commissions.

STATE OF THE NATION
NO YEMENT OF TRoO


The developments and events of the past week
in the political world will command the atten-
ton of all.
THE present Administration has noa0 been an
,o,cer lust Mtytvseven days The position of af =
fairs in the government at the time of the &C ces
sion to power of President Lincoln is we'll know n
tn our readers. 1t will have been noticed that
every act of the new Administration has been
marked by the most perfect caution, and that no
movement has been extemporized TO which the
most captiou, peace man, or the greatest stick
lor for MN coercion, could take offence. Indeed
ca mild. and so apparently moderate, has been
the action of the new government that very
MANY of its friends have been induced TO oflhg
their ba tteres to bear in conjunction Win the
enemy always ready against the Adminlstra'
ton with reference to its apparent nstiessnesS'
But, as we have said above, the events OF the
mast week have aroused attention to the la
ter programme Of war )" and be that runs,
may now read the fact that there is a Yltahty
existing in the Executive which has not oeeh
perceived for the past five months, and that the
government "stll lives and that we have
man at the helm who knows the ropes, ana
who, if the thing is possible, will weather the
storm and pilot the Ship OF State into safe
harbor.
1t would be impossible for US, with our space
to give any thing like 1.-THE of the floating
news of the day in relation to the thousand and
one rumors of war which now pass as the com
mon currency ofthe time. Suffice it, that all that
has been said heretofore in regard to the giving
up of Fort Sumter, the actual reinforcement OF
Fort Pickens, Sc, &c, goes for nothing. And
while we see the most vigorous preparations be-
ing made by the Administration and the whole
active energies of the nation set at work, we are
still left in the dark as to the real lends and
aims" of all this movement, as Mr.. Seward has
emphatically announced that the pres nt Ad
mnistration shall be known only by its acts and
not by its promises.
The active scene of operation has of course
been in New York Harbor. From this port
alone the following vessels, viz, Coatzacoalus,
Fashion, Atlantic, Baltic, Illinois, Ocean Queen
Yankee, Thomas Freedom and Harriet Lane
have all been despatched with provisions, mill
tary stores and troops, but with sealed orders
and so of course-though speculation is rife as
to their several destnations--the virtue of pa
thence will have to be exercised for few days
before any positive knowledge will be had of the
entire aim of this general movement. Let us
continue to hope for peace-but stand prepared
for war
