Common Schools.

Mr.. EDITOR 1T is customary for ev-
cry select school to secure report Of
its examination in the paper. There is,
however, another class of schools of more
importance to the public, and an exam
nation of one of these taught in this
town, by Miss E. NJ, Douglass, was as
interesting, and quite as creditable to
teacher and scholar. 1t was held at the
School House on Friday last. The room
was beautifully decorated, the parents
we're generally present, the recitations
well conducted and well sustained by the
pupils, not forgetting many little things
so some would think-wbich are essential
in every good school. In the evening
the house was packed full to listen to the
declarations, recitations, and compost
tons, of the school pupils, which were
very creditable.
The exercises were interspersed with
music, and at the close, Unexpectedly to
most present, J. S. Adams, the secretary
of the Vermont Board Of Education, was
introduced, who complimented both teach
er and scholars very highly. 1t is the
opinion OF tao Superintendent that, in
that district, three elements of a good
school have been combined-the earnest,
faithful instruction of kind teacher, stu
dious, well-disposed scholars, and inter
ested patrons by whom both teacher and
scholars have been encouraged and sus-
tanned. We have had other schools in
town of the first order, but perhaps none
which have made greater progress during
the year than the one in District No. ),

SECESSION AT .-RICu-
MoND, Va, Feb. &c. In consequence
of Mr.. Moore's speech against secession
in the convention yesterday, the seces-
sionists called an indignation meeting.
Fifteen hundred persons assembled near
the Exchange Hotel, and strong southern
speeches were made by delegates. Mr..
Wise was called for, but was unwell.-
The assembly then adjourned to the
Spottswood House, where more speeches
were made. An attempt was made to
burn Moore in effigy, but was stepped
by the Mayor. The whole showed that
the secession demonstration was gotten
up by negro traders.

that the Home Guards had arrested a
man named NJ, A. Smith travelling

leans, druggists, on complaint that he had
used improper language" 1t was said
that this " travelling Yankee had called
Bob Toomb5 a traitor and declared that
the secessionists were thieves and rob
bers. For this highly incendiary Ian
guage he got of quite mildly, he being
set at liberty with orders to leave the
town AS soon as possible. At the town
Of Abbeville, in the same State, he did
not fare so well. A pendent Of the
New York Tribune, writing from Able
vile on the 18th inst, copies the above
account from the Express, and adds the
following statement of his death:
" Mr.. Smith is the travelling agent of
Scoville & Mead OF New Orleans, but
a N. II. man by birth. The Eufaula
Express was produced. He was ident-
fed, and did not deny his opinions. He
was then taken some halfmile from town
and there and then deliberately h,pg.

DEAR SriNDARD AS you welcome the in
sertion Of county new, have thought it might
not be uniuterestilg to your numerous readers
for me to give some account of the state Of our
academy in Derby. The teachers, Mr.. John
Young and his sister of Staustead, from accurate
and finished scholarship arc well qualified for
their duties. The have proved, also, thorough
and successful teachers. It was ny privilege to
attend, with several others. the fall examination
of the school, Amongst those present were the
ministers of the place, Revs. II. Jones and J.
Frazier, whom un understand to constitute an ex-
aiming committee As the exercises were in
the branches commonly taught in such scmina-
naries, need not particularly enumerate them,
but viii say, in a word, that the examination
was extensive and searching, and creditable alike
to teachers and pupils. AS, however the opin-
ion Of an unknown individual viii carry but lit
tic weight, may state that the examining COM
mittee aforesaid expressed themselyes much
gratiied with the progress Of the scholars and
the thoroughuess Of the course Of study.
To myself it had long appeared an evil Of our
American educational system that it fostered a
various, hasty, and snowy, rather than useful
scholarship. Many, ignorant q he common
branches, acquire accomplishments. A passion
for rhetorical and theatrical exercises often I'M
fits the student for sober studies; whilst the sex
hibition" at the close destroys the examination,
as the trotting match injuries our agricultural
fairs. And. too frequently, the strong oompet-
ton between high schools prompts the teachers
10 seek apparent rather than true progress.

cracy passed through this city yesterday.
He says that all the Southern officers
viii resign as fast as their respective
States secede, and that the almost united
determination Of the Northern officers Is
TO throw.up their commissions if the gov
