exclaimed with energetic eloquence:

negro guard in every house and Provost Marshal at
every cross road with no right to visit neighbot; no
right to visit the house Of God without perut from
Yankee Provost Marshal to be landed to negro guard
If conAscation Is to take away all the houses from
over our heads, what matters it whether subugaton

The negroes will have only Yankee occupants to guard,
and to that no out of doors will object. Iii to

The State Normal School.


TO the Editor Of the Portland Press
Your correspondent in a recent 'isl' ~
Pennington had an opportunity to inspect our
new inaugurated State Normal ocn0oi' Aou'
! readers may, some of them' % in'efes'eu W
know more about this institution.
The lands appropriated by the State to the
uses of the School, have not yet been sold, and
ofoorrso NJ money has Injured from that source.
Rnt our indefatigable State Superintendent, E.
p. Weston of Gorham, being determined to set
the wheels sgoing this autumn, procured some
means from some source or other, engaged
teachers, and has put the machinery in motion.
The buildings for the school are furnished
BIZ the trustees of the old Pennington Acad-
emy and by the liberality of Pennington
citizens. Not one mill OF the States money
will be used in supplying mere material appli-
ances, buildings, apparatus, etc., but only for
the compensation of teachers and lecturers.
The buildings are not quite finished, and the
school sessions are now held 10 a spacious and
comfortable hall in the village.
There are about sixty pupils; the number is
increasing daily. Their average age is over
nineteen. Seventy-fve per cent Of them are
ladies', and all are pledged to teach in Maine,
| for time at least.
The instructors are Prof. A. P. Kelsey, form
erly of the New York State Normal School at
Albany; Prot. G. M. Gage, of the Bridgewa-
ter Normal School, Mass, and Miss A. E.
Johnson, of the birmingham Normal School.
So that the corps combine the experience and
the methods of the best schools of different
states. They are thoroughly educated, are
skilful and enthusiastic instructors. No school
in the country can furnish better instruction.
Pennington is one of the most beautiful vii
lagos in the State. The country all about is
upheaved in magnificent hills; its intervals
are exuberantly productive; and Sandy river
brings down the dust OF the interior mountains,
aid spreads 1t over the bordering lowlands in
annual foundations, and hence the harvests are
hundred-fold. Accordingly the means of liv-
ing are abundant, and board is cheap. No
where could scholar be more favorably stu
ated In point Of agreeable surroundings, than
in F. The population of the village are cult
waited and intelligent.above the average.
The school is purely Normal. 1t has no
side issues or aims. 1t purposes to give young
men and women the most exhaustive possible
drill in precisely such branches as they will
have to teach in common schools. 1t excludes
al whose age or deficient attachments disqual
lily them for receiving this training. 1t hal
practically only one class, for they are all drill
ed together, though 10 separate divisions. Th'
Advantages arising from this selection ant
classification are very great.
1t is hoped the public will appreciate its ad
vantages 10 the specific matter of training
teachers, afforded them by the liberality Of tn
State, and the generosity OF private individu
als All the school asks now is material t
work upon. Yours truly, W. W.

DsiUess FROM StrGsburg-Our CGcairy srt
IN Pursuit
as New YORK, Sept. %.
The Worlds dispatch, dated Sheridans
Headquarters, below Winchester, 22d, says the
entire army advanced yesterday noon, and
took position on the heights on the northern
side Of Strasburg, in front of Flint Hill. Our
artillery opened, scattering the rebel skrmish-
ers. In the mean while the 9th corps was sent
forward OF the skirmish line to capture the
crest forming the extension of Flint Hill, a
I very formidable position held by the enemy.
Our line advanced handsomely, driving the
rebel line from the foot of the crest, but no
further. The enemy stubbornly held their
own until the close OF the afternoon, our bat
teries pelting them iuriously. A battery was
finally advanced which scattered part of their
line, causing it to retreat. Soon after the first
brigade of the Sd division, under Col. Warner,
charged the extreme right under deadly fire,
and carried the crest. This closed the days
engagement The losses in the 9th corps will
probably be 200 killed and wounded.
Wilson's and Merrilt's cavalry, who were
sent around the mountain, drove the enemy's
cavalry from Front Royal, and were still adj
vancing. A

AnotIor Racreaut New Highlander.

n e,u.u,nr Il cut from New York Cop
perhead newspaper:
New England has plunged the country into
sans cent at least half million OF men to
,'~,imsIv graves, and brought misery and des-
oiat;on TO half the hearthstones in the land.
She has piled upon the shoulders of the peo-
ME burden of debt under which they must
stagger for all coming time, and made the
preservation OF the Union and the perpetuity
Of free government almost hopeless And, so
far, she has made money by the operation.
She has compelled the whole country to pay
tribute 10 her; and her manufacturers, amid
all this work of ruin, are more prosperous
than they have ever been before. But nay
OF reckoning is coming. The arrogant, IAN
atlcal spirit Ia which she has exercised power
has spread the seeds of hostility to New Eng.
land everywhere. The Middle states, sst
great West and the South all cordially ue'',
her. ~ .rn
The anthcr of this abominable fissuo :.
falsehood aud outrageous calumny upon W"
Eno,and ia a man born in Maine' son OF d
former Congressman of this State VINO was
ad,oa.od IN onr free schools, and at the end
- hr,os b,, unsuccessful business career as
~ n,bli,ber or editor of a vile anti-masonic
nonar laft the state, no doubt for the States
GOOD and brought up in New York. There
he commenced catering for the vilest scum of
that city, got into the Board Of Aldermen.
and, IL we are rightly informed. by his dis
regard of the seventh commandment got him
self into limbo, and was made to feel the re-
straints of the law. Now he is member OF
Congress; Representative of the people Of
one OF the New York city Districts-the
"Fsce Points" District, which he represents
no doubt very truly and very acceptabl.y
Ouch is the vile wretch who traduces New
Observation-Disclosures the land Of his birth and
OF his fathers grave-traduces the land who's
wholesome laws and institutions he despises--
traduces the land not tree or lamp post o
which but would be dsgraced by his being
hung upon it! And yet this miserable calum
niator will find those in our own State ant
city to echo his SANDER, and to express theil
profound thanks that the sober, deliberate
voice Iof our order-loving, free people may b.
overruled by him or such as he And shoulf
he visit our city he would find men SO low, 81
lacking In self respect aud SO lacking in re
spect for the State that has given them birth
that they would take him by the arm, hob
mob with him, and consider 1t an honor to b.
seen in his company.

Cheering from Pennsylvania.


We are permitted to make the following ex
tracts from letter dated Pittsburg, Pa. Sept
10, from distinguished ex-member of Con-
gress from Pennsylvania, to a gentleman in
this city:
Il cannot express in sufficiently strong Ian
guage the admiration we feel for the truly 10y.
al people OF Maine. Vermont has been so ac-
customed to voting in one way that we did NOT
look with the same anxiety Tor the result of il
election that we did for that OF Maine. Tn, re
was something Of gloom hanging over us pre-
vious to the Chicago mountaineering the
splendid termination of Sherman's campo On.
and the victories in Maine and Vermont have
aroused the people aud fired them with patri-
otto ardor, and inspired them with confidence
which promises signal success in this State at
our approaching election.
"Onr ablest politicians inform me that Penn
sylvania is safe beyond doubt. Ofone thing
lean assure you; the clouds which OF scrr ID
our political horizon in July aud August have
llfted, and the rays from the extreme East
have llumined our skies, AMI the "old Key
stone" will reflect back the glorious light. II n
Ohio is safe by large majority"
