THE PEACE QUESTION IN THE REBEL Con-
aREss.-The debate in the rebel Congress at
Richmond, the other day, on the peace PROPOSE
ton Of Mr.. Leach, Of North Carolina, was
treated With much more respect than anything
Of the kind ever submitted In any rebel Con-
gress before. Those rebel Bombastes Furiosos
year ago would have choksd down Mr.. Leach
and his peace proposition on the spot Now
they are disposed to listen to him, and twenty
two Of them arrange themselves on his side.
We predict that the number OF his hackers will
be considerably increased before the end Of
another week. Now IL the time for the Hon.
Fernando Wood to 60 on . peace mission to
Richmond. Now or never.

The Union Rally az Hudson.

The Union Rally at Hudson last Sat
ur,lay. was the largest and most enthusi-
astic meeting ever held in the Valley.
Full 2.5C0 people were iu attendance'
and were addressed in the afternoon by
Senator Ramsey, Gov. Miller, and others
and in tic evening, by Hou. YIN. Win
dom.
II was proud day for the Union men
of the St Croix Valley. The Great Wes-
tern Band discoursed music; ever ywhere
n profusion Of, banners and patriotic mot
toes were displayed; the speakers were
equal to the occasion; the arrangements
were all made and conducted ia fine
style by the Union Club of Hudson; and
every one left elated with the exhibition
of feeling there manifested.
The Union men of this county will
duplicate that demonstration about the
middle of October.

Another brave soldier has gone Captain

delphia, Sept. odd. from wound received at
the battle of the Weldon Railroad. 1t was
supposed until a few days since. that he was
improving and would recover, with the loss of
n leg but he has gone.
Capt. HYATT leaves an untarnished reputa-
ton, as a gentleman and a soldier. 1t is
enough to say. that in the Iron Brigade. :"

Capts. CoxvEasE. HrTchIys and HYATT :
1t seems but fe days ago that they were
with us. having honorrbly served from the
FIRST, and re-enlisted through their desire for
TIE Nations safety and success. No more
will they lead the columns to the perilous
charge. and hold them unfinching in the face
of death. They are gone but their memo-
ries are sacred, and their example remains as
guide and an inspiration to us who knew

To Teachers and school Off
GERS.

In another column will be found a notice
Of thetimes and places at which the next semi
annual examination OF school teachers will be
held. School officers who have not engaged
their teachers for the winter viii find these
meetings very convenient for comforting with
teachers and with the Superintendent.
The Law requires all teachers to be exam
ined at these public meetings, unless prevent
ed by sickness, absence from the county, or
other unavoidable cause ; of which satisfacto-
ry proof must be furnished to the County Su-
perintendent. before a private examination
can be granted. Private examinations under
any other circumstances are nuisance. which
/ am laboring to abate. Some candidates abb
sent themselves from the public examinations
and then endeavor to obtain certificates by
some short and easy method as for instance.
a slight verbal examination, or the presenia-
ton of a recommendation. o. of some old
certificate. or the importantly of friends and
relations. Now be il understood that all
such short and easy METHODS are i" at the risk
of the owner" And furthermore, if any
candidates have an easy examination, they
will be those'tha honestly attend the public
meetings for that purpose. 1 shall protect
these against all shirks and impostors.
To those who present themselves for cxami-
nation at these meetings let me soffer the fol-
lowing suggestions
LIST. Be in time. Be present n few min
utes before the hour named in the notice
Verbal directions are given at the opening.
and cannot all be rep eated to every straggler.
Then you will probably need all the time al
lowed for the examination.
Cd. Be in working order. Don't come ex-
hsusted by long ride. or Z" days washing"
as has been done. You may need all your
physical and mental power.
Sd. Devote your whole time and mind to
the examination. Some have undertaken
other business. cares, or amusements, much
to their disadvantage.
18th. Answer carefully. Write plainly,
with due regard to penmanship. spelling.
punctuation. use of capitals. DC.
5th. Review, and, if necessary. correct the
answers you have written. They form your
record by which You are to be judged. The
examiner cannot safely make any allowance
for slips Of the pen. for hasty or careless vri
ting.
Last spring many candidates failed. par
italy, and / doubt not some failed entirely.
through car.lessness in the ADORE particulars.
trus, meme. this Fall, will be guilty of such
injustice to themselves.
