THE FEDERAL CITY IN DANGER.

Perhaps there are still persons who do not be-
lieye that the Federal City is in danger Of being
assai!ed by the secession forces. 10 our judgment
it is in The most serious danger. and not a moment
should be lost in concentrating troops friendly to
the Government. in the District Of Columbia
The New York and Pennsylvania troops that are
in readiness. and have rendered their services &c
defend Washington. should be invited to proceed &c
that point without delay. Even IL an attack I.

force at that place sufficient TO give confidence ia

April 18Th, 1861.
To The People Of Ohio:
You are called upon to meet the gravebt res
possibilities, ard, il may be, sacrifices, TO pre-
serve your free institutions and your national in
dependence. The attempt Of your Government 20
supply a beleagured garrison with provisions has
been met by open war and reduction Of o garrison
by force of arms. Your national Gag has been insult
ted, and she constitutional authorities of the Union
reasonably denied. At such an hour, rising
above all party bias, resolute TO maintain the free
dom so dearly purchased by our fathers, and to
transmit it unimpaired to our ~posterity, lie. the
people assert their pow er. Your voice will be
heard, your actions will bring hope to the over
awed and oppressed in rebellious districts, will
strengthen the hands and animate the hearts Of
the loyal thousands in the border States, and will
bring back peace and order to the nation, with .
new assurance Of the perpetui'y of its priceless
blessings. The General Assembly BY acts just
passed, opens to you the method Of t~estiiying of
your devotion to our beloved State, the Union 90
il is, and those free institutions which have been
alike the foundation and pledge Of our National
aud individual prosperity. General orders issued
through the proper department assert that meth
Cd, and invite your response. Let Ne all be
thankful to Almighty God for past mercies, i'm
ploring HE pardon for our many short comings
and trusting with him the dssiinies of our eoun.

Mr.. EDITOR In looking over the
"Nlinutes of the Fourth Annual Session
of the Columbia county Teachers Institute,
held at Orangeville, December 1851" we
find some "un9ramnlat,ciSms' and SIN
atcuracics" of Orthogrophy that should
not have occurred. Also, some in Pune
tuation of which we will not make men,
ton. These palpablo deviations from first
principles, appearing in the Record of the
transactions of "Teachers' Institute" do
not look we'll.
"Ingrammaticisms" are the following:
Pages 9th and 18th, "And by this means
learn them(pupils) exactncss and rapidity,"
should read, ''teach them, &C."
Also, "Of our present system of dorroto-
ing" We never 6orro,0. For instance in
Subtraction, we odd 10 to the upper col
umn as matter of cxpediency, and to
make up the deficiency the lower column
has thereby sustained, we add 10 to the
lower column.
Pages Sth and 10Th, "Of which their
growth aud perfection depends" "Health
and happiness depends" should be depend.
Page l4th, Scare and patience is ncces-
sary, &c." 1t should read, are necessary.
On the same page, "Thc time and place to
teach Spelling, IS in our primary schools"
Should read, are in our primary schools.
Page 18th, "Therefore, when an indi-
vidual has determined to close teaching as
profession, &c 1t should read, to
choose teaching, &C., as chose is the past
fnSe of the verb choose.
Page 18th, "They are liable to loose
their appropriation, &c" Loose means to
relax, or unite, as a rope, and lose signi-
dcs to forfeit, or be deprived of any OPP
portunity or thing. 1t should read, lose
their appropriation.
Page 25th, "He found neither teacher,
director or citizen" Wrong in two re-
spects. Neither requires as its correspond
ing connective nor, and not or. Again,
neither and nor require the use of tr0o
nouns ONLY ,as neither teacher nor director,
and nOt neither teacher, nor director, nor
citlztn.
Orthography-Pagc 9th, The word
"leueiLey occurs. 1t should spell, leveler
Page 9th, Substraction." 1t should spell
Subtraction.
On sundry pages are found the words
"developement' and "develope.' The!
should spell development, develop.

Whispering John.

In what is known as the "upper end"
of the county, there is man who has tho
ironical soubriquet Of "Whispering John
h" This title he has gained from
the fact that he always talks (even in con-
versation) as if he were major general
on parade, or, to use moro common ex.
preston, "liko he was raised in mill"
This gentleman mounted his horse ono
of the coolest mornings last week before
daylight, for the purpose of riding down
to NJ, in time to take the morning
train of cars to N. He rode up to
the hotel just as the boardors and travellers
had done their breakfast.
lie dismounted, and walking into the
bar-room, spoke to the landlord in his
usual laundering tone; "Good morning,
Mr.. L., how do you do this morningl"
every well, Mr. R, how do you
dol"
ooh am well, but I'm SO cod I can
hardly talk"
Just then, a nervous traveller who was
present, ran up to the landlord, and catoh-
ing him by the coat said: "Mr. l.,
have my horse brought as soon as posi-
BILE !"
"What is the matter, my dear sir has
anything happenedr'
"Nothing upon earth, only I want to
get away from here before that man
| thaws."

Page 10th, "Unskilful." 1t should spell,
unskillful.
Page 18th, "Devided.' Should spell,
divided.
Page 18th, ga very small pittanco is
generally grudged teachers 1t sounds
as if grudged teachers are q very small
pttance. Ambiguity of language should
be avoided, except where it is used pur-
posely. 1t should read, "a very small
pittance is grudged TO teachers"
On such occasions as Teachers Insta.
