This institution, within the limits of our city, is
better known, probably, than any other in the
State, and our people take a great pride in its
success. Under its present management, it has
been a complete success, and is now in a condition
TO reflect credit on the State that fosters and sus-
tains it, and on those-inciuding trustees, SUI
perintendent and teachers-who have so carefully
watched over its every interest.
The concert, last night. was an event calcu-
lated to Aatter the pride of every lndianian that
listened to the sweet and happy voices of the care
fully Instructed pupils; and the Legislators who
represent the great Commonwealth must have
felt doubly proud of their trust. No music could
have been sweeter-no voices ever raised in har-

Departure of the President Elect.

Our city has settled down to its wonted quiet
We have seen him. He come and is gone. and it
is already as a dream that we have had an en-
bryo President, just ready to burst his shell and
come out full fledged article, to honor our town.
Mr.. Lincoln, we hope, slept well after the labors
of his reception. To be pushed and crowded
around as he was. beset by red hot politi-
clans steaming with patriotism, and to have his
hand shaken at the rate it was and for SO long
period must certainly have tried his powers of
endurance What time he went to bed on Mon
day night. or how he slept. or at what hour he
arose on yesterday morning, the court chronicler
has not informed US.
A large crowd was collected around the Bates
House at an early hour perhaps they remained
in the street all night. Mr.. Lincoln and his suite
left the hotel and walked to the residence of
Governor Morton for breakfast. From the num-
bers gathered around the gubernatorial mansion,
and the way they wove in and out of the front
door, like busy bees, we presume a reception was
held there The party returned to their quarters
at the Bates between nine and ten o'clock, and by

The carriage which was to convey the departing
guest of the State to the depot drew up about
ten, and Mr.. Lincoln appeared on the balcony and
was presented to the crowd by Mr.. Meredith Of
Wayne, his twin brother in size and make. Mr.
Lincoln merely repeated his excuse of the day
before for not making speech, and took hi
leave of the people in few words.

The Guards Band, shortly after the speech ma

dants entered carriages, and the four horse coacl
drove rapidly in the direction of the depot

CALL TOR A CONTENTION
eed OF FEBRUARY!

The following call is being signedin every por
ton Of the State. and from all quarters is being
sent to Us. The day for the convention IS APP
preaching, and we do not wait the receipt of
al the calls before publication.
The exigencies of the times render it unneces
sary for Us to add anything to attract the attention
of the people to the call and to the action which
it suggests.
To the People OF the state OF Indiana:
The undersigned citizens of said State be-
Eeve the Union to be in danger, and that if any
thing can be done to avert the dreadful calamity,
it must be done quickly. The people of Virginia,
Kentucky, and other border States have made
overrures of Cancellation, and it is believed by
MANY that these overtures should be met with
kindness by the Union loving people of
the State of Indiana. 1t has been said
that if the people would come to-
gether, determined to hear the voice of reason,
good results would follow. Concurring in that
opinion, the occasion would seem to justify us in
calling convention of the people of the State,
to assemble at
Indianapolis on the e2nd day OF Feb
ruary,
to take into consideration the condition of the
country, and to adopt such measures as may be
best calculated to prevent civil war and preserve
the Union
The Union was born of concession and com
promise, the people love it, and will not refuse to
make any reasonable concessions TO preserve it
The liberty won and bequelthei to Us by ouI
fathers is IN peril The institutions reared in
wisdom and -cemented in blood, are endangered
bv fanaticisrn on the one hand, and revolution on
the other.
We, therefore, recommend that the people Of
e1ch township and county in the State, who love
the Union more than mere party platforms, and
who desire the settlement of existing diiiicutie.
upon tie basis of the Crittenden propositions, Of
any other fair and honorable adjustment, shall
meet forthwith and appoint de'egotes to slid con
vention, and that they send up their petitions
through Their delegates, and demand that thei
voices be heard in the councils of the State ant
nation in reconciIing the aeaaated feelings OF thu
dismemberei portions of our common country.

EXAMINATIONS AT THE INSTITUTE FOR THE
BLIxD-CoScERT By THE PuPILs IL THE EVEN
ING. = Friday afternoon was devoted at the
Institute for the Blind to the examination Of the
classes By the members of the Legislature and
such friends they choose should accompany
them. The large hall of the Institute was'used
for the purpose. The members expressed them
selves as highly gratfed at the proficiency of the
scholars and at the good order that everywhere
prevailed. Our citizens are familiar with the
modes of instruction pursued at the Institute and
with the range Of studies. There is no school
in the city where classes of equal age are more
thoroughly instructed, and none that can stand a
more minute and critical examination. The
loss of sight but seems to quicken the
other senses, and the care taken by the
teachers that their pupils shall be well
instructed in the elementary branches, in
knowledge of what they afterward acquire in their
more advanced studies. To those who have
never seen the scholars in their recitation rooms
it is almost miracle how they can be led through
the fields Of literature and science. while the ewes
are closed 10 the light Of day. and the sense OF
touch and the ear are the mediums of impartine
instruction And, indeed, it requires extraordn
AIRY care and patience and devotion, on the part Of
their teachers, to instruct them. The Institute
for the Blind is particularly fortunate, not only in
possessing Superintendent who, with the ability
to manage his charge, has the will to do his work
in a manner that wins the love of those placed
under his care. but in having teachers thoroughly
devoted 10 their calling and whose helrts are in the
work. Mr.. Ballard, who is at the head of the lit
eEary department, Is young gentleman of fin
