Teachers OF Clayton COu


You are probably aware that our Teach
er's institute meets at Elkader on the Goth
Of this month. We hope that every one
who is now teaching, or is intending to
teach during the coming winter, will be
present. No teacher, whether he makes
teaching his business or not, can afford to
lose this opportunity of gaining knowledge
that will make him more successful in his
calling. understand that Mr. Emery, our
County Sup erintendcnt, has secured the
services Of Mr.. ingalls,, the Agent of the
State Teachers Associa ton. The very fact
that man Of large practical experience is
to. take charge of the Institute, ought to be
sufficient incentive to every teacher OF
Clayton county. am inclined to believe
that teachers do not understand the real
object Of the Institute. Many think that
we arc to assemble together once a year
for the purpose Of ascer,aining the amount
of knowledge each may be fortunate enough
to possess; but this is not the object. We
go there not as teachers, but as scholars,
and expect to find some one at our head
who will be able to impart knowledge to
us Of such practical nature, that we shall
be able to use it in the daily duties of the
schoolroom. In word, may say, we 60
there to be taught, and not to teach.
am thankful, for one, that the day has
come when it is not left to the teacher to
decide whether he will attend the Institute
or not, or to the Board of Directors wheth-
er they can afford to close their school II
week ; but the Board Of Education has
taken the matter into their own hands, so
that every teacher is obliged to attend, or
run the fisk of being deprived of certifi
cate. This is indeed as it should be.
in connection with our Institute, the
Clayton Co. Teachers Association will
meet on Wednesday, the 22nd inst, at 7
O'Clock p. IN. The following programme
has been adopted:
LIST. Prayer.
3D. Singing.
Sd. Calling roll, reading constitution and
receiving members.
4th. Reading minutes of last evening.
9th. Singing
9th. Address, by E. B. Wakeman; sub
ject, 1.-The Common School,"
7th. Singing.
9Th. Essay, by Miss Susan McAlvin.
9th. Singing.
10th. Miscellaneous business.
18th. Discussion subject, School Gov.
ernment."
Teachers! you are aware that our Assc-
ISOLATION is yet in its prime. 1t is only
four years since its organization, and during
the greater part Of this time it has been
sustained with difficulty. Now we are
again to be put to the test. Many of its
members have gone, at their country's
bidding, to fight Tor freedom, and while you
look upon the broken ranks of your broth
ers who are fighting moral battles, will you
not step forward and take the place of those
who are offering their lives a sacrifice upon
the altar of their bleeding country.

| Col. G. NJ. O'Bren, who is duly com
missioned and empowered by the War De
partment to recruit an Irish regiment fron
this State, visited Clayton county on Sat
urday, for the purpose Of stimulating the
rect uiting of a company in this county.
Col. OBrier visited Elkadcr on Sunday
and after presenting the matter, thirty fine
muscular men stepped toward in ten min
utcs and signed the roll. Special recruit.
| ing commss; ms have been issued to Pat
rick Keenan,, Of Elkadcr, Michael Towers
of Monona, and Dr. Bowers, of McGregor
Jas. Mclsaith, Of this city, is also commits
STONED to recruit at large. We understand
McRaith his Ave men already recruited in
town, as the result Of his first lew mo.
ncnt's work.
The only regimental officers commission.
ed are G. M.O'Brien, Colonel, and j. O'Neil
Lieut.. Colonel. The other regimental off
GERS will be selected from various parts o!
the State, though VIC may rcmark that
Father Nagle Of this city is commissioned
as Chaplain, subject to the decision of the
Bishop, and there is probability that
Patrick Keenan,, of Elkader. will be Major,
and Jas. McRai'h, of this city, Quarter
master. We will just remark that these
appointments would all be good in an
especial degree. We doubt if there is a
man living who has aught to say against
the character Of Father Naslc. Here, where
he is known the best, he is universally be
loved and respected. The other gentlemen
would all their respective places admirably.
Countrymcn of Curcoran, Measher, and
Shields! you will never have so desirable
an opportunity to attest your devotion to
the glorious stripes and stars as the pres
cnt occasion offers Your Colonel is per.
sonally known to us. lie will never com
mand you to 60, but follow. He has seen
service, and was educated as a military
engineer, and is therefore fitted for his
present position. He is from fighting stock
and takes The field to avenge the death of
generous and brave brother-Capt. o.
Bren, of the 81 Wisconsin volunteers
who feel molly at the head of his men,
Lieut.. Col O'Neil, is one Of the most
thorough military men in the State, posted
in all the tactics, we'll read in all the books,
and has made practical application of his
requirements. Under all these favorable
circumstances, with the certainty of going
into Corcoran's brigade, we submit to our
Irish fellow ci,iz,ns whether they will not
raise two full companies in Clayton county
at once.

No Parties, but the Country.

No greater display of righteousness ex
lists at the present time, than the farce
which is so often enacted nova DAYS on
the stump and on street corners, by office
seekers and politicians. Any day this class
can be seen swelling and glowing with the
purest patriotic desires. They have wcpt
nights over the country, and talked them
selves hoarse in endeavoring to awaken the
people to due regard for national unity.
Taking them at their own word, there is no
sacrifice they would not make to save this
glorious Union,- and much more Of the
same sort.
This is all very good-so far as it goes
but the sequel to every one of these ha-
ransucs, comes in the shape of an elect
me, or my friend, or sustain my party, and
all these results shall be given unto you.
Now it has come to pass in these latter
days that the brothers and fathers of those
who have given themselves to the service
of their country have supreme contempt
for those men, who will prevent the ener-
eics which should be used in the service of
their country, to the attainment of sordid
ends, or the Indictment Of side issue to
distract our country, even in her death
struggle. And it is only by reason of the
fact that their energies arc all centcred in
the struggle for unity, that they have
neglected to take the political action nee
cssary to organize a purely Union party
which should be strong enough to throttle
mere partisan organizations. In Massa
chusetts, however, as we'll as other states,
it is otherwise. We quote herewith an
extract from the call for the Peoples Con.
yention' Of the State of Massachusetts
"The country is greater, and better, and
holier'than party. Party and party names
must be abandoned in this crisis. While
you have the name, you have the thing-it
. cannot be otherwise. If we are not will
ing to give up the name, most sure we shall
not give up what it represents. 1t is worse
than useless to ask fer that union which
comes from one party giving up to another
---no such union can be formed; it is
delusion and nockery to insist on it,
mo Party can ever be accomplished as
fact, by requiring one party to yield up
their dogmas and belief, and adopt those of
another. If, then, the people mean to
unite in this terrible crisis, to save the
country, they must come together irrespcc-
tive of all party, as one man, and pledge
themselves, their lives, their honor, their
all, to support the Government and the
laws against this most accursed rebellion"
