to know that many Of our teachers are
beginning to feel the great responsibility
they are assuming, and the necessity of a

Our New Senator,

Gov. Bradford has appointed Ex-Governor
Hicks, United States Senator in The place Of
Senator Pearce recently deceased. This is
a we'll deserved and merited honor. Gov
Hicks, for his manly resistance of the dia-
bolcal influence OF the rebels of our State,
is worthy the lasting gratitude of the loyal
men of this good old commonwealth, and we
are glad to find that Governor Brad ford has
taken this, the first opportunity to give sub
stantal evidence of the same. We under
stand that Senator Hicks will give tho Pres
ident's Proclamation his warm and heartfelt
snpport-that he conceives it necessary in
order to the effectual subjugation Of the re-
bells. 1t is also said that he favors, as might
justly be supposed, compensated emancipa-
ton in Maryland.

A Magsliilcent Result.

Those who are always croakins about the
lukcwarmness Of the loyal States may COM
fort themselves with the following facts -
At the meeting of the United States San
itary Commission, hcl,. in New York. last
week, it appeared thai, besides immense sup
niles of hospital stores distributed they bad
received 1925 900 in money, of which $3.50
900 are still in their treasurers hands and
subject to order
The Western Sanitary Commission Of tSt.
Louisi. which is an independent organization
has received and distributed hospital stores
to the amount Of three hundred thousand
dollars. and one hundred thousand dollars in
money. 1t had on the LIST of December fif-
teen thousand dollars on hand, and its ex-
penditures are at the rate of ten thousand
dollars month.
The whole of this is by purely voluntary
rift from individuals. Nor is this the whole.
Every State, and almost every city and town
has its separate channel OF munificence for
soldiers in the field II for their families at
home; and what is dono by the above named
commission is probably less than half OF the
voluntary contributions in tile past eighteen
months. We call this a magnificent result.
