They are hunted like guilty felons.
N The Sentinel, commenting on the Chicago
nominations, says: Mcclellan, who was
formerly q decided war man, is repre-
sented to have greatly modified, if indeed
not abandoned his belligerent sentiments.
The support given him BY 30 many deci-
ded peace men lends strong confirmation
to the report that nothing would be easier
than for Mcclellan to. reconcile fdelara-
ton for peace in the present state Of the
question due; or he may suppose to Lin
coin Encouragement Of the war, with his
past speeches ii favor Of war.
OF Mr.. Pendletou's position there is un-
certainty. He - an ardent peace man, and
the fact that such man was nominated is
. strong proof that McClellan's position
cannot 30 widely at variance.
The contest which now commences will
be brief but violent. Two months will
close 1t, and decide which shall rule. Per-
haps there are no two public men In the
United states separated BY greater ami.
mostly than exfstS between Lincoln and
Mcclellan and their respective partisans.
There Il probably no one that Lincoln
would prefer being beaten than Mcclellan.
IN another article the Sentinel says: II
we have peace we must conquer it, and we
may conquer It speedily If we but perform
our duties at this juncture as we have
hitherto. Let us not remit exertions be-
cause the enemy are much exhausted and
the prospects Of peace seem improving
That exhaustion will speedily disappear
and he will prepare for new and mightier
efforts il dampened zeal and diminished
numbers on our part give him room to still
hope for conquest, prospects Of peace and
independence now 50 bright will fade away
and vanish, and the ranks Of our armies be
thinned by indifference or neglect of oul
home keeping people or BY the carelessness
OF our army officers.

OF
SCHOOL TEACHERS.

The Board of School Examiners will
hold Examinations at the Court House.
in Warren. on Saturdays, April 9th and
23d. The new school law provides that
every male applicant for a teachers GER
ti6cate shall pay a fee of fifty cents, and
each female applicant a fee of thirty five
cents, in addition to revenue stamp and
postage. These fees are not paid for the
certificate, but as a condition Of examin-
alton. Each applicant must pay this fee
before being examined.
It is believed that this provision will
afford an adequate fund for a Teachers
Institute annually in every county of the
State. This will elevate the STANDARD OF
qualifications among our teachers, and
greatly promote the efficiency of our
country schools. The law provides for
county and also for Union Institutes.
