A HERO WANTED.

The Republicans are in a desperate strait for
hero. Since the collapse Of Jim Lane, they
arc bleating about like sheep without a shep-
herd. Their first hero in this war was Fremont.
lie achieved the defeat Of Lyon, the surrender
of Lexington, the freedom of a few niggers,
and squandercd millions of the public money.
We hardly know which exploit most commen-
ded him to their favor-When Fremont was
retired from command in disgrace, they fixed
their hopes upon one Simon, surnamed Gamer
on, who, it has been said, twas thief from
the beginning" and did not hesitate to sell his
country for a few pieces Of silver. But Simon
wanted the niggers set at liberty-he wanted
arms put in their hands SO they could butcher
the women and children of the South. This
exalted him in the eyes of the Republicans and
they loved him as they loved their own souls.
But Simon is dismissed from the council table
which he had disgraced. just then Jim Lane
turned up and the Republican journals turned
their eyes upon him and saw that he was good
at stealing niggers, and they proclaimed that he
was to do wonderful things in that line-it just
suited him--But General Jim is suddenly
''squelched" expedition vanishes, and he
is left before the public miserable charlatan,
a dirty jack that has brayed his own fame, a
fit object of scorn and anathema from all pa
triotic people. Who will be the next hero of
the Republican journals ?-ErcaaR9c.

LATE DECISIONS.

Among hlc late decisions of theStatc Super
intendent we note the following;
1t is not lawful for parents to send their chill.
drcn to school when Il contagious disease is in
the family. If there is no rule by the Board
on the subject, then the Teacher should exclude
such children us Il measure Of just and neces-
sary precaution, andreport the case the Board.
That if asubscription school is kept in a COM
mon school house after the close of the regular
term it is to be regarded and conducted as a
common school in all respect, except that the
teacher is to be paid by the parents of the pu-
pills who attend, and not by the Directors The
teacher must hold valid certificate from the
County Superintendent, and the school must be
open to the visitation Of the Board of Dircc-
tors and the Co. Superintendent
That no rent is to be charged for the school;
and that all the pupils who attended the school
during the preceding term, are to have the priv
iege of attending, if they pay, in preference to
others from other schools.
That if the teacher who had the school dur
ing the preceding term is competent and gave
satisfaction, he should have the house for q pay
school in preference to all others; he being best
acquainted with the pupils, and best qualified TO

mo UNION WITH SHAREHOLDERS

We have have heretofore charged the Aboli-
tionists with being opposed to the restoration of
| the Unon unless it can be made Il sort OF alb
clifton Union. Their presses and their orators
now openly disavow all respect for the old I'm
ion and their aversion TO its reconstruction.
They are afraid that if the old Union is rcstor-
ed the democratic party will again obtain the
control of the government, and would rather see
the old ship of state forever ruined. AS evl-
dence of this VIC copy the following atrocious
extract from Greeleys New York 7ai5,uae, which
is generally regarded, we believe, as an orthodox
republican paper:-
Let us suppose that the war were ended to-
day on some basis which would leave Slavery
where this rebellion found it, and bring Mason
and Slidell, Toombs and Wigfall, jeff. Davis
and Chestnut, Rust and breckenridge, Hunter
and Benjamin, back into the Senate, and into
their normal relations of cordially and fraterni-
ty with Bayard and Price, Bright and Thomp-
son, of n. j., Rice, Wall, Biger, and the North
cm Democracy. They would have nearly half
the Senate and about a third of the electors
from the slave States alone does any one i'm
agine they would not, aided by the pressure Of
the war taxes and the partisan clamor sure to
be raised thereupon, soon reacqure that ascen-
dency which they in l860-out of hatred to
Douglas and eagerness for a purely slavchold-
ing nfederacy-delibcratcl threw away p
And then do you not see that we who have hon
cstly and earnestly resisted and baflled their am
bilious Vaccinations will be made to supsorrow
Unpleasant neighbors as they are at Richmond
and Manassas, we prefer them there rather than
in power at Washington, with drilled partisan
majority at their back But we can well un-
derstand why this prospect should have no er-
rors for Mr. Divcn
What claim has such a fellow as Greely to
be classed among loyal men or friends of the
country

A GOOD INVESTMENT.
GY FREEMAN HUNT.

''Can vOu lend me two thousand dollars to cs-
tablish myself ina small retail business!" inqui-
red n young man not yet out of his teens, OF a
Niddlc-agcd gentleman, who was poring over his
ledger iii the counting room of one OF the lar
gest establishments in Boston. The person adj
dressed turned towards the speaker, and regard
ing him for q moment with II look. OF surprise,
inquired
''What security can you give u,o, Mr.. Stros-
scr?'
''No,hing hut my note replied the young
man promptly.
(Which fear would he below par in mar
kc," replied the merchant, smiling.
'I'erhaps so" said the young man; 'but, Mr..
Barton, remember that the boy is not the man !;
the time may come when Hiram Strosser's note
will he as readily accepted as that of any other
man"
True, very true" replied Mr.. Barton, mild
" ''but you know business men seldom lend
money without adequate security; otherwise. they
might soon be reduced to penury."
AT this remark the young mans countenance
became very pale and, having observed Il silence
of several moments, he inquired in voice whose
tones indicated a deep disappointment
"Ihen you cannot accommodate mc-can
youW
Call upon me to-Slorrow and will give you
reply" said Mr.. Barton; and the young man
retired.
Mr. Barton resumed his labors at the desk /;
but his mind was so much upon the boy and his
singular errand, that he could not pursue his
task with any correctness; and after having
made several sad blundcrs, he closed the ledger
took his hat, and went out upon the street.
Arriving opposite the store of a wealthy MGR
chant upon Milk street, he entered the door.
Good morning, Mr. Hawley," said he, ap-
preaching the proprietor of the establishment,
who was seated at his desk, counting over the
profits of the week.
Good morning" replied the merchant bland
iy. 'l1appy to see you. Have a seat? Any
news? How's tradel"
Without noticing these interrogations, Mr.
Barton said
young Strosser is desirous of establishing
himself in a small retail business in Washington
street, and called this morning to secure of me a
loan of two thousand dollars for that purpose"
"lndeed" exclaimed Mr.. Hawlcy evidently
surprised at this announcement; ''but you do
not think of lending that sum-do your

The teacher is bound to take his monthly re-
port to the Secretary, and until that report is
filed with the Board of Directors the teacher

Relics of the Revolution.

The invasion of Virginia to suppress the re-
bellion has resulted in the recovery of some ve-
ry interesting relics of the Revolutionary war
An instance of this kind has just fallen under
our notice in which an Erie county soldier res
cued from the Old Dominion book, relating to
the Revolution, which belongs, properly, in the
keeping of those who stand by the flag which
Washington and his compatriots established as
our national standard. A short time since,
while the Fourteenth Regiment New York Vol
unteers, Colonel NIcQuade, were on picket duty
near Halls Hill, Virginia, a number of the MEM
bers of the regiment went outside the lines to
house within range of the guns of the rebel pick
ets The house belonged to an old Secessionist,
who had deserted it from fear of being arrested
by the Union men, as it was known that he had
been guilty of overt acts of treason. Upon en-
terng the house it was found that the furniture
had been left, and one of the soldiers, resident
of this county, pcrceiving an old looking book,
examined it, and found that it was record OF
the Revolutionary war. 1t proved TO be the or
der book of General Washington, in manuscript,
commencing March, 1776, and reaching through
several years. 1t contains general orders, spe-
cal orders, details of officers, court nartials,
plans of battles, official reports of engagements
&c. These orders were signed by Gen. Wash
ington himself as well as several other generals.
The signatures of the several generals occur on
almost every page, and it is one OF the most irr-
teresting relics of the Revolutionary army that.
could be found. The book has been sent to the
residence of the officer referred to, and Is in the
possession of his friends, who reside in this cou-
ty.-[[ [[Ba6aio h.rp'ess. & 9a 2.
