DEAR HERALD While the subject OF
common schools is very properly occ upy-
ing the attention of this community, al
low me to advance few thoughts, sug-
gested by your Castleton correspondent,
upon the government and general man.
agement of schools.
The evils to which most of our schools
are subject will not probably be very
much improved until the business of
teaching becomes a distinct profession,
and none engage in it except such as
have some natural abilities, and fond
ness for the employment, and qualify
themselves by the use of every means
within their reach for the responsible du-
les of the school-room. While men diff
fer widely in their powers of mind and
body, it is evident that if there is no mis-
take made in the choice of a profession,
that we may all occupy spheres of use
fulness in some department Of soci ty.-
1t is as necessary for the well-being of
community that we have farmers, me-
chanics and day -laborers, as it is to have
men in the learned professions-and we
think Infinite Wisdom has provided the
material, when properly directed and
trained, to fill all the literary, scientific,
commercial, agricultural and mechanical
pursuits of life.
The great trouble is, some mistake their
business They are not content to pursue
that course which Providence seems to
have designed them. Among the neces-
sary qualifications of teacher, ability to
qovern is pre-eminent-andfo for this abili-
ty we are more indebted to nature than to
art-and while it may be greatly improv-
ed by education, still art cannot wholly
supply deficiencies in nature.
Government does not consist in COM
mands oft repeated-nor in loud, threat
ening declarations-nor yet in the whip
or ferula, but in the eye-in the express
sion of the conference.-the a conscious
ability and determination to govern-to
be obeyed in all things.
In walking down the street, not long
since, in the vicinity of the school-house
the teacher rang his bell to call the schol.

very leisurely obeyed the summons, two

From Great salt Lakel City.
Great Salt Lake CITY. June

1Tcdt cdit l-dhc SNy, June 10.
A band of persons numbering about one
thousand, men, women and children, under
the leadership Of one named Morris, who
claimed to be the "PropSet Moses reap peared
ON earth," formed settlement thirty miles
north of this city, and committed numerous
depredations on the citizens in the vicinity.
They refused to labor for their support, be-
lieving that the Lord would supply their
wants. Three of their number, disgusted
with the imposition, attempted to leave, but
were arrested and placed in confinement
and heavily ironed. A writ OF habeas corpus
was issued by Chief Justice Kingly, which
was treated with contempt.
A sufficient time having elapsed for pro-
ducing the prisoners, second writ together
with an order for the arrest OF Merris for
contempt and for the arrest Of the leaders Of
the gang for false Imprisonment was issued,
fantry and artillery was ordered out on the
18th by acting Governor Fuller.
Morris and his men were strongly en-
trenched and thoroughly armed. Fighting
ensued. Two of the Marshall's posse were
killed. .. .. .....
On the 18th the rebels pretended to sur
render, but resisted anew as soon as our at
tacking party approached.
In hand to hand fight Morris was killed,
and another leader was mortally wounded
The rebels were then overcome.
Several women and children were killed
during..the fight, the Morrisites refusing to
remove them to place of safety. . ....
The prisoners captured number 147, and
will be brought to court tomorrow.

Information has been received at the Post
Office Department that the overland mail
service to California was recommended on
the 10th inst. On the 18th thirty-six ponch-
es of mail matter, which had been delayed by
the late troubles, reached ST. Joseph.
Several post offices have been re-opened
in Lem in the last few days, and mail facili-
ties are gradually being extended through
the State.
The President sent a message to the Sen
ate to-day, vetoing the act repeating form.
er act of Congress providing for the circul a
ton in the District OF Columbia of bank
notes of less denomination than five dol
lars.
His reasons are that it is impracticable in
the present condition of the country, and
would result in serious injury to honest trade
and honest labor.
He suggests that the object of such bill,
providing for small note currency, would
be folly, accomplished by authorizing and is
suing treasury notes of smaller denomln atior
than five dollars, thereby saving consider
able amount to the treasury notes, and great
ly facilitating payment to the soldiers, anc
furnishing SAFE and reliable currency fol

patches stating that on the night of the I'll

MODERN DEMOCRACY"

/ M()lDEhN - 'pEMOShaSl.
The authors of the Ostend Manifesto, to
|, lanes Buchanan, Perrie Soule and
s,spder Slidell, announced that the ac-
;,iop Of Cuba was National necessity,
that the Government CT the United
,,es would be justified in wrestling Cuba
ON Spain, in order to preserve the Nation
\ Of the Republic of America. That man
k,tO was the topic of go"d de al of COM
pDt on both sides of the Atlantic. 1t is
kuabIe at the present time, only as show
that the Democratic Party as it was ruled
the slave oligsrchy, when the Ostend
|.uifeso was written. was not scrupulous
but constitutional questions, when slave
|htOry was to be acquired. The Demo
|dc party represented at that time by Bu-
|anan, Mason and Slidell, all traitors no'c,
kended to find sufficient warrant in the
tsttution to take Cuba by force from
|an, on the ground that such an acquisi-
was necessary to preserve our National

|Yet these same men and their followers
US that the President has transcribed
Constitutional limits of his authority in
means he has adopted in the prosecution
the present war for the Union. 1t was
kimed that that National preservation JUS

public who adopts the necessary means to
down a rebellion against the life of the
pyernment. Such is Democracy at the
