the teachers of our land7 They are moulders
of the youthful mind, the educators of the
future orators and statesmen of the Nation.
If they fail to hold up the hands that hang
down. if they prove unfaithful to the Govern
ment God save our native land Beside this,
it has become customary for all classes of
men to give expression of their devotion to
the Government in this dark hour of its trial.
Ecclesiastical bodies of every Christian de-
nomination in the North, save two, have pub
licly and officially pledged their support For
the suppression of this unholy rebellion
Why. then. was it thought inappropriate by
these wiseacres to pass this resolution p
No doubt, simply because they are enemies TO
its best interests covertly seeking its over
throw, and did not desire thus publicly to
commit themselves to that which they secretly
hate
But we are proud to know they were sig
nally foiled in their nefarious attempt. We
are proud to chronicle the fact that the loyal
teachers of Cambria county have torn them
selves from corrupt associations, and have
given expression TO sentiments as lofty and
free as their own mountain air. Let al
traitors to their country read them, ponder
them, and fear them. NISDEx.

LoyaIty VS.. D,sioyalty.

To the Editor Of The 4JieghGniar:
The session of the Cambria County Teach
ers Institute has just closed 1t was most
certainly pleasant and profitable meeting to
all concerned The teachers exhibited such
love and zeal for their work as was well
worthy their high vocation.
The close of the Institute was rendered
somewhat exciting by the Introduction and
passage of certain ''resolutions." That which
attracted most attention, and drew forth The
warmest debate, was the one expressive of
loyGlty 10 the GorernGaent. Even this did not
receive its most direct stab from any of the
teachers themselves, for we believe they are
principally all true to their country; but the
''unkindest cut Of all' came from certain
members Of the association who are not prac-
teal teachers.
When the resolution was fully opened for
discussion, clique of politicians, who pride
themselves upon their acurnen in parliament
tary order and legal ability, tried to stave it
off They did not wish to see politics intro
duced Not they. And yet they used the
very means TO make it political question,
and opportunity for them to spit out their
political venom against others. They thun-
dered out their anathemas loud and deep, and
even descended to low witticism and ind eli
cate allusion, though their competitor was a
yirtuous rcoman Finally, as last flourish
of their legislative sagacity, they introduced
q motion to 'postpone indefinitely ly"--virtual-
~ 10 kill the resolution outright.
But they mistook the sense of the members
of the association, FOR when they had mar
shalled their forces in ''fuil array" they could
count but nineteen, all told And now let
these pot-house politicians, when next they
attempt TO browbeat honest teachers and
| respectable ladies, and force them from their
| duty know they must seek some other field
| Of operation beside Cambria County Insti-
tutes. Their triekery is thin as gauze, thro
which may be eseen the loathsome carcass oil
their own corruption.
The principal argument used by these mer
was. that they rere loyal already, ane where
was The necessitv of passing the resolution
And they wanted no s'Knights of the birch
to impose "regar' terms on them. All gen
| tlemen, if you nery layal, why hesitate
to say so, in simple resolution, especially a
| this time when every mans loyalty is tried

from politics and political issues-that
Office is emphatically the County Superln-
tendency. An incumbent of that high
position should msnifestly have no politi-
cal friends to reward, nor no political
enemies to punish. In the exercise OF
the functions Of his office, be should be as
far removed from the slime and filth of
politics as the sun is from the earth. He
should be un.rammeled by any network
of rartyism, so as to be allowed to labor
unrem:ttIngly for the good Of the common
school interest, not upon the fractional
principle, but as whole Mr. CoNDoN,
it would seem, is located upon very
different platform from this. Elected as
the caucus nominee OF a purely political
organization, and under pledge OF being
''not oulv Democrat, but Copperhead
Democrat" what are We to infer from his
elevation only that Democratic Copper
head principles are to be hereafter incul-
Gated in our schools, possibly Democratic
Corperhead textbooks introduced, and
that our Superintendent elect is to be the
particular champion. Of these startling
measures
This thing of Introducing politics into
the election of County Superintendent is
a most villainous precedent set up by the
Democracy. just look at it. With equal
propriety, board Of School Directors
might ostracize teachers on account of
their political procilvities, and employ all
Democratic OF all Republican teachers, as
the case may be. Or board of Directors
might owe their election to their POLITICAL
influence, ,and not to the fact OF their posses
sing intelligence or cultivation Or the
teachers themselves might go into the
business of politics, and shower their choic-
est favors only upon the children of polit-
ical friends. Where all this would lead to is
too apparent to require further eluc:da-
ton.
In saying what we have said, We seek
no quarrel with Mr. CoNDoN We be-
lieve him fully competent to fl accepta-
bly, the position to which he has beeu
elected. Neither, in matter of this sort,
do We particularly quarrel with his poiit-
zeal predictions. But We do find fault
with his allowing caucus nomiratiou of
a political party to be thrust upon him,
thus permitting himself to be made too
Tor designing men to accomplish nefa-
farious purpose Better, far better to
have irrccoverably lost the object sought
than to have sacrificed a single principle
IN its attainment.
Mr.. CONDOR is the first man within
our knowledge wao has ever been elevated
to the position of Superintendent through
trickery and corruption. May he also be
the last.

ga On Monday afternoon the phila
delphia Age placed on their bulletin
board what purporteA to be a dispatch,
and had such headlines as "Illegal
Arrests by Government, '.Arbitrary
Measures" &c This was upon one side
of the board, and upon the other was
something like '.Sigel Snubbcd." y
soldier came along about three o'clock
and tore bosh papers down. This created
some excitement, and quite crowd soon
gathered in the street For fifteen or
twenty minutes a disturbance was threat
encd. Such cries as ''tear them out" were
frequently heard and some demonstrations
of carrying them out were made. Mayor
Henry appeared upon the ground, how
ever, and briefly addressed the assemblage.
He said that Philadelphia is loyal city
and her citizens have certain rights
these must and should be respected. He
then called upon the citizens to disperse
and so quietly to their homes. Three
rousing cheers were then given for Gen.
Hooker, and were quickly followed by
three more for Mayor Henry. The crowd
then moved off slowly without further
trouble.

The Situation In Virginia.

War news being contraband, we are
unable to give this morning authentic
accounts of the various army movements
in Eastern Virginia for the last few days !;
but. guessing being not yet prohibited, we
will endeavor to approximate the actual
maneuvers by means OF suppositions-a as
follows
l. We guess that our forces at Suffolk
and on the Peninsula made demonstra-
ton toward Richmond in the early part
Of last week.
= We guess that Gen. Lee was apprised
BY Jeff Davis & Co. that their capital
must fall unless they had prompt support
from his army
3. We guess that Lee had already
begun to send troops toward Richmond
on Tuesday last, and that this was She
reason for his otherwise unaccountable
neglect to assail or annoy Hooker in his
retreat across the Rappahannock--a move
ment which he announced in his
dispatches to Richmond so early as the
previous Sunday evening.
f. We guess that Hooker learned from
the President and Gen. Haleck on their
visit to his camp on last Thursday
| that his retreat was mistake, and that
| Lee (or some one else) with good part OF
his forces was by that time we'll on his
| way to Richmond.
3. We guess iand are pretty sure) that
| Hooker, with his army freshly provisioned,
once more crossed the Rappahannocl, Gin
spite Of the high water during Friday
night, and found but screen of pickets
in his front, and no enemy worth men
tioning this side of the North Anna
6. We guess that lee Cor one of his
Iieutenants) reached Richmond just in
time to prevent its capture by Dix,
ketes, Peck, Rufus King, or whoever
com manGed our forces that threatened
it from the direction of Fortress Monroe.
I Aud finally, we guess that this week
will not pass without string news from
Richmond or the banks of the Pamunkey
We must al exercise patience We
strongly hope TO have the pleasure ot
diffusing joyful intelligence before. the
end Of the week, but she'll endeavor tc
bear reverses with equaniinity, if we must
We do firmly believe that the Rebels are
near tie end Of their resour ces, especially
in munitions, and that skilllal, earnest

That what we are in the habit of calling
States rights are essential to our liberties,
and without them we would be. slaves -
Look at the map of the United States !
You see a territory almost as barge as Eu-

tent Of territory is we must have one or

have a Confederacy or you must have d
Russian despotisms You must have a
government. strong enough 20 reach all

have thatunless your government is con-

her sex, and / shall go back to Washington

And Ariel sobbed herself to sleep that night
because Frank Tylney passed her with such a
frigid bow.
Harry Becker had an unexpected visitor the
next morning-the Colonel of his regiment,
who came in with bright encouraging smile,
and kindly grasp of the hand that seemed to
throw new life into the invalid's worn frame.

yourself? 1t was by the mcrest chance that

"Im sure l don't know"
"She sold her hair, Sir-her beautiful hair,

And Harry turned his face aside to hide the
big drops on his lashes. He need not have
been so careful; there was strange dmness
in the Colonels dark eye too.
Il have been fool. he calculated, striding
out into the open ARIA mad insensate fool"
And he went straight to the little parlor
where Ariel was sitting at her work, crying a
little between whites, and confessed his sin at
the shrine of her sanity beauty.
Sand now, Ariel, now that you know what a
suspicious, credulous, doubling william l have
been-can you give the priceless treasure of
your love into my keeping?"
She answered him tendery, with soft, shy
bushes, "Yes.'
What more have we TO say? Nothing, save
that Harry Becker and Marian his wife are
doing well, and the latter predicts that by
Ariel's wedding-day her curls will have grown
out again, as long and as golden as of yore.
