The Press.

When an important meeting for
any purpose is to be convened in this
town, the first thing done to give the
occasion as much noturicty us posi-
bic, is to have a conspicuous an
nounccment in the papers. This is
all right The Editor writes out the
announcement Z; the compassion sets
it up, and the prcssman works off the
sheet. All right again. But the pro-
grammc for the meeting, gotten up hy
the managers, takes special pains 10
invite Federal and State Officers, Ju-
dicial Officers, Masons, Odd Fellows,
Good Tcmplars, and Members of the
Bar, to reserved seats in the assem-.
blagc, while the Members of the Press,
who have accomplished more to give
magnitude and success to the meeting
than all other agencies, are left out in
the cold, without the formality of even
freezing invitation to be present
This course toward the Press, has
been systematically pursued in this
City. No less than two instances of
this kind have occurred within the
last six weeks, and yet until now, no
attention has been called ia. the mani
fest injustice committed. 1t may be
that the Members Of the Press have
no rights which white men are bound
to respect but, obscure and insigniti-
cant as they are, they still have the
ability to resent insults and redress
their own gricvances.-Register.

The Christian Banner published at
Fredericksburg, Va, was suspended
May 9th, 1861, in consequence OF the
editors being loyal to the L. ). Gov
crnment. just one year from that
day it resumed publication. In the
article announcing its renewal, the
editor remarks:
"Whcn we closed our Office twelve
months ago the secession 6ag--the
emblem of all folly, was waving over
our city--to-day the american Flag
the Stars and Stripes-thc proud
emblem of q nations greatness
Flag which our fathers won through
blood and death---the Flag which our
fathers loved--thc Flag which all ma
tions honor-the Flag under which we
were bern and have lived fprty,fise
years. save one, now floats proudly
over us. Long may it wave over the
land Of the free and the none none Of the
brave--may it wave over us, over our
children, our grand children and great
grand children, till GabriePs trump
shalt sound. and old time shall end
then goodbye old time honorsd flag

FREE SCHOOLS AND REBELLION.

We make the following extract from
the last annual report of Hon. j.
Pickard, State Superintendent of Pub
lie instruction, Wisconsin
When properly sustained and care
fully guarded, the Public School de-
vel"ps those qualities which serve
best in the cultivation of those arts
by which true prosperity is most GER
tainly secured. Those who discard
the idea of popular education, and
scout at all free schools, are ever rife
for rebellion. Whenever such rebel
lion darcs to assert itself, the arts of
war must be cultivated. The physi.
cal energy, the inventive power, the
mental capabilities, the moral facul-
ties that have been called into exer-
else and cultivated by the pursuit of
the peaceful arts, are needed when
the stern necessities of war are fore
ed upon us. A few short months since
and we were startled by the outbreak
of well concerted conspiracy against
the integrity Of our government. Men
and means were called for to aid in
the suppression of this conspiracy.
Men sprang to arms from every quar-
ter not in the hands of conspirators.
Money flowed freely into the national
treasury. Among loyal people but
one feeling existed. 1t found express
sion in the words The Union can and
must Be preserved f" AS the formidable
proportions of this monster rebellion
have shown themselves, the sinews of
war have been developed. But mere
sinew is useless, without living soul
and may be worse than useless, if I'M
der the CONTROL of depraved soul.
Brain and heart have been needed, as
well as muscle and money. Under God,
we arc indebted to our free schools,
and all kindred institutions that have
had their origin in the love of human
ity and of human rights, for the ready
supply of this need Blood and trca-
sure are flowing freely in support of
our civil institutions, that we may
hand down to our children unimpaired
the inheritance we have thus far en-
joycd as the fruit of our fathers toll
and sufferings. The hope that our
children will prize this inherit
ance and cherish it with patriotic de-
votion, nerves us to the sacrifice we
make in its defence. Let us not for
get that our hopes may be disappoint-
ed, if we neglect those measures
which will make of our children intel
ligent and virtuous citizens. While
we guard sedulously against the at
tack of rebels, we should not sleep
upon our posts and allow the hosts of
ignorance and vice to surprise and
ovcrpower us. We should rather
double our watch, and grid ourselves
anew to the contest.
