LONE JACK. Mo, April 4th.
Prof. GOOdnOW,

Our State Superintendent Of Schools, spent
the larger portion of the week in this vii
lage, in attendance upon the Teachers In
stitute, and for the purpose of looking up,
in company with the other commissioners, a
site for the State Normal School. He ex-
presses himself highly pleased with the town
and surrounding country. On Wednesday
evening he gave public lecture at the Con-
gregational church, on our Common
School System" The Professors lecture
was of most interesting character-full Of
information and statistics, and advice in re-
gard to the selection Of teachers, and their
duties, and the duties of parents toward
teachers-which we wish all could have
heard. Perhaps there is not man in the
State better qualified for the position be
holds, than is Mr.. Goodnow.
Prof, Goodnow was accompanied by Rev
Mr.. Dennison, President of Blue mont Col
lege, at Manhattan. He is gentleman EN-
inent for learning and Christian character
We hope to see these two gentleman in En-
poria, frequently, in the future.

Teachers, Institute.

The first session of the Lyon County
Teachers Institute was held here this week,
commencing on Monday and adjourning
yesterday. The attendance was not as large
as was desired and expected, but both the
attendance and interest taken gives assurance
that this organization is to be permanent.
and one of the greatest importance to our
people, and to the educational interest of
this section of the country. We are glad
that Lyon county is the first in the State to
form Teachers Association. LIST her aim
always to be foremost in the good cause of
education.
The County Superintendent, j. NJ. Miller,
deserves great credit for his energy and
perseverance, in getting up this Institute,
and for attending we'll to his duties generally
He is live, working man.
We shall publish the proceedings in full
next week.

Hon. q. V. EsKRIDGE-S SIR: III answer
to questions asked by you, in reference to
Mr.. Pages course on the University bill, /
frankly say that no combinations had been
formed except with Manhattan, at the time
he began to urge opposition to the Emporia
bill. under pretense of favoring Lyon coun-
ty. We all urged Mr.. Page, as a friend of
Lyon county, not to persist in his course,
as it was only calculated to assist Lawrence,
and weaken the chances of Emporia and
hnally defeat the location in Lyon county
His amendment was regarded by Messrs.
Maxson, Kinner, Afford, Harrison, Tucker,
the Manhattan men, yourself and myself, as
very injudicious. We so expressed our
selves to him, at different times. In nv
judgment, if Mr.. Pages course had been
half as skillful and judicious as yours, we
should have had the University in Lyon
county to-day-but not under his proposed
amendment.
l never heard you, at Topeka, or else
where, intimate a desire, under any circum-
S'dHCoS' 10 cnduge our county lines, so as
to throw NeoshO Rapids out of the county,
or to otherwise alter or change our county
lines as they now exist.
Respectfully yours, j. W. LoY.
have read the above letters of Hons
G. V. Eskridge and J. w. 10y, in relation
to Mr.. Pages course on the University
question in the Legislature, and believe the
statements and representations therein made
TO be correct WV. HARRISON

vICKsBURG ITEMS.


BY arrival of steamer Bostona No. 2, we
have news from Young's Point to Thursday
night. 1t is stated upon the authority of
scouts and deserters that the enemy moved
large part of their force within the past
week from the Point to the rear Of the city,
to meet an expected attack from the FEEDER
ais at Yszoo Pass or Haines' Bluff. Yazoo
city has also been formidably reinforced.
Greenw God has likewise been strengthened
The large guns formerly used in the batterlsa
on the river in front and below Vicksbure,
have been removed to the rear and quakers
substituted. Heavy batteries have also bee
erected on the fats below and opposite th
mouth of the canal, at a high elevation
commanding operations there which hav
been actively in use, and digging and dredg
ing is nearly suppressed.
Last Monday night, during an excessively
strong storm of wind and rain, the Confed
crate gunboat Vicksburg broke from he,
moorings, and before she could be secured,
foated in the stream, and quickly fell into
Admiral Farragut's hands below.
The health of the army at Young's Point
is somewhat improved.
The Buffalo gnat is attacking the horses
and cattle and killing them off rapidly.
There is nothing positive from Yazoo
Pass on Friday. 1t is said we were about
to resume active operations, but from TIE
failure of the Haines' Bluff affair it was
abandoned, and it is presumed the Federal
forces Will be removed from the vicinity,
unless quickly successful in accomplishing
something. Smiths division is reported
N owing in that direction. The reported de-
struction of the Chilhcotbe has proved false.
An officer from Young's Point states that
the Smelling from the Federal batteries com
handing the rebel works at the foot of the
canal was commenced on Wednesday.
There are rumors in Cairo of late fighting
on the Tennessee river, in which it is said
one Federal gunboat was disabled.
