District re. 3, somaers.--Rev Mr. SLADK
delivered Lecture before the Literary Assocla-
ton of Dist No. 2, Somers. on Thursday evening
Of last week. We have heard severalswho listen
ed to it, speak of the Lecture as a mastery effort
well worthy Of the speaker. The Association is
maintained. principally ,sby the pupils of the
School, which is under the charge of Mr.. GEO
RICE, an able and efiioednt teacher. On this oc-
casion, many of the patrons of the school were
present, and the subject of the Lecture-"The Co.
operation of Parents with Teachers, the ugh
principally directed to them. was by no means void
Of interest to the younger portion of the audience
One individual speaking of it, remarked that "it
was such Lecturesas every patron Of Schools
ought to listen to,and heed its precepts." Resolu
tions highly complimentary to the speaker, were
passed, and ordered recorded with the minutes of
tho meeting.
The School of No 9, ha9 long sustained high
reputation for its efficiency, and probably stands
first in the county district school, and perhaps
first in the State. One grand secret of its success
is in the employment of efficient teachers and
continuing them in the school, instead of practic.
ing the old rule Of changing at every term. An
other element of success is an adequate supply of
outline maps, charts, apparatus, and good libra
ry. We are informed by the teacher, who is also
librarian; that upwards Of 400 volumes have been
loaned during the present term, which commenced
about the first of December. Numerous other
districts possess the latent requisites for
full schools which only require proper spirit of
enterprise to equal No 9, and we have reason to
belive they will yet emulate her exetnple.

CITY AND COUNTY

GoUGH's LECTURE. -The postponed lecture
by John b. Cough, in aid Of the Zion Metho-
dist church. was given last night. Mechanics
Hall was full as it could be packed, and the
renowned temperance orator was in his best
mood Hon Henry Chaplin stated briefly the
financial embarrassment of the society for
whose benefit the lecture was given, and re.
futed some charges which have been brought
against them. He introduced Mr.. Cough in
some eloquent remarks expressive of the deep
interest which is so universally felt here in
the movement of this gifted reformer. Mr..
Coughs lecture was about London sights, and
the dramatic power, the irresistible wit of the
lectures we never saw exhibited to better ad
vantage. The historic places of London, the
sights of to day, the noted men of the tune
Palmerston, Disraeli, Brougham, Charles
Kingsley, Dickens, Bulwer, Thackeray, and a
host more, the perfect postal system of Lon
don, the genius of the London rogues, were
subjects for this inimitable description. We
believe Mr.. Cough could talk year on this
one topic of London, and charm his audience
every night. He prefaced his lecture with
an impulsiveley eloquent burst OF patriotism,
in which he stated that all the devils in hell
and secessionists on earth could not insult the
glorious stars and stripes with impunity.
Mr.. Cough intends to deliver another lee
ture in behalf of the temperance organization,
and we know we speak the mind of the COM
munity when we hope the time will be soon
announced, for few men have that hold on the
hearts ofour people that is 50 enyiaby secured

THE HOUR OF TRIAL,

1t is hardly two months since the present
administration came into power, 1t found the
government embarrassed and disorganlzed by
long course Of treachery, and weakened by
a most guilty career of theft and fraud. Many
who were entrusted with places Of great res
possibility, had used their influence to destroy
the government and establish reign of an
archy. In nearly every department of the
government, civil and military, the leaders of
the sedition had agents and spies, conveying
to the headquarters of the rebellion informa-
ton of the,movements of the government, and
stealing everything within their reach. From
the hour of the inauguration the president
and his advisers have had to contend, not only
with open rebellion but with conspiracy
at their own doors, which threatened at
any moment to confound them. The
administration has gained the greater part
of its victory by its activity and decision since
the rebels commenced hostilities but the dam
ger is not yet passed. The people have rallied
to its support with unanimity which has no
example in history its political opponents
have hurried to its standard with sincerity and
enthusiasm which will be remembered after
the present generation passes away. 1t only
remains to guard against future division and
distrust. The people are united in the pur-
pose to crush rebellion, and the administration
has not concealed its sympathy with them.
Millions of men who are scattered over the
wide world are to day sending up their pray
ers for success in this holy war Discourage,
then, every suggestion of party feeling. Fra
ternize with every loyal citizen who gives
himself to the cause. Bury the useless hostil-
tiles which have divided men of common sem
timents heretofore, and unite for the sake Of a
swift victory and lasting peace.

"The number of troops here has greatly in

were four thousand soldiers in the city +; there
. are now over six thousand. On Wednesday
evening the first detachment of South Carroll

haved. Their uniform consists OF a gray
colored smock frock. pants of Kentcky jean,
and cap of the same color. The smock is
covered with innumerabe gilt buttons, upon
each of which is representation of palmet-
to. They expect one thousand more of their
