SCHOOL. IynoSS.

There is now g disposition TO get
up fight over the question Of whose
series of school books shall be used
in our public schools In some re-
spects we deprecate this, but in other
respects it has beneficial influence
We well recollect when McGufley's
series OF Readers were rather ordi-
nary. But the competition he had
to meet before the educators OF the
country, gave us McGufIey's new and
improved series of Readers, which
we think are superior, in some re-
spects, to any series OF Readers be
fore the American people. But when
an interested party says these readers
are superior to Wilson's Readers in
every respect we simply think lie is
not a good Judge, on account of his
interest.
We have been examining both
series of Readers, and we feel
clea- in saying that each is
entitled to the respect OF educators;
and we think that Americans NAV be
proud of either. We believe that
McGufiey's graduation is better than
Wilson's, but on the other hand we
believe that an advanced class of
scholars who pass through Wilson
Third, Fourth and Fifth Readers, will
be more benefited in the acquisition
of useful knowledge than the same
class would be in McGuiIey's.
We say these things without hav-
ing any pecuniary interest in either
OF the series. We see no necessity
for saying hard things about either
series, and there are but two eXtrane
Gus reasons for banishing either Sc
ries from our school rooms, and
these reasons are, there should be
uniformity and stability in class
books.
AS to the matters referred to in
the communication in to days paper,
we leave our School Examiner to an
swer. We hope hereafter that ell
articles on these subjects will be
directed to the merits or dement's of
the books themselves. We have no
objection. however, TO publish an
honorable discussion "a TO the pow
crs and duties of the School Exam
iner But we say to all. examine the
law and testimony. before writing.
then we shall be able to enlighten
our readers.

DAYTON AND UNION RAILROAD.

We would call the attention Of the
officers of this road, and the business
men of Dayton, to the imperfect con-
nections with the Bellefontaine road,
and what the results are. We know
that these imperfect connections are
changing the travel from this road,
rs also the trade from Dayton. We
have heard a great deal of complaint
about having to lay over at Union all
night, or nearly all day, besides the
freight from Union City 10 this point
costs as much as it does from Cleve-
land here. The merchants and bust
ness men are changing their trade.
en- account of these matters. We
should like 20 see 4 remedy for both
of tue evils. for there is no other
good reason why Eastern Indiana
should sot trade at Dayton. Bust
ness men who desire TO 20 10 Day

a few days after the Odd Corps
passed through Cincinnati, Ohio, the
Cincinnati papers spoke in the most
condemnatory tone of the treatment
which the soldiers received while in
the city. VIC passed over the matter
ut the time, not supposing that our
brave soldiers were to DE thus treated
at every point they passed in the
State Of Ohio, bat we were mistaken in
this. Bya communication from Col.
Nefl, it will be seen that the soldiers
of the I'D Corps were treated like
dogs, at every point in Ohio, except
ut GAINESVILLE, where the people ap
preciatcd the distinguished services
which the ed Corps had rendered
TO their country. We well recollect
when the citizens of Cincinnati sent
out the Macedonian cry for help,
when Kirby Smith, with his thou
sands of rebel soldiers, were marching
on the city. We happened to pass
through there with n thousand men
from Indiana, to assist in defending
that city; and the people were frantic
with Joy. A fine supper was pre-
pared for us. Ladies, in their pat
riotic pride, as we thought, made
presents 10 our men, rs they passed
along Fifth street. We had no
thought then, that all this demonstra-
ton was base selfishness; but since
the bad treatment which the 23d
Corps has received in Cincinnati, and
also in the State, we are compelled to
believe it. But it is not the first time
that Ohio has been disgraced since
the war commenced. We did not
expect other treatment from the up
start squirts who have been appoint
ell TO Gil the various cowardly offices
in the rear; they never had any sym
patty for the brave officers and men
who have been defending the old
FLAG so gallantly OH thousand battle
fields; and their base and cowardly
conduct has been the means of caus
ING bad treatment to our soldiers by
citizens who would naturally sympa-
thize with and respect them. We
hope the officers and men of the 23d
Corps will represent this matter to
the War Department, and procure
the dismissal Of such rae things IS
disgrace the offices in the rear.

have to give up his life in return for

RELIGION IN THE Army.

CAVALRY CoRrs HosrIrAL, Feb. z, Go.
Feeling that the many readers of
your valuable paper would be glad
to hear of our welfare, we deem it
proper time, by Your permission, TO
say word or two for their satisfac-
ton. Our hospital here is q new
one, and there is some four hundred
inmates. Through the kindness of
Major Marsh there has been n room
appropriated for q reading room and
for religious services, and Brother
Fusion, of your county, appointed
Hospital Chaplain. He is doing Il
good work. On Sabbath evening,
the 9th inst. he gave the privilege Of
all coming forward and of giving
their names for the purpose of Or
ganizing a Hospita! Church. There
were twenty-five came-some of
whom had never before attached
themselves to any church. On last
evening, We had conference meet
ing, after preaching, and there was
quite number who arose and bore
testimony in favor Of the religion OF
our blessed Master-telling those
around that this religion had sus-
tanned them amid the clangOr OF bat
tie, while the missiles of death, in
the form of rebel bullets, were flying
thick and fast, and taking their con-
rades upon the right and left; then l.
was that they felt to put their trust
an Israers God, and that He kept
them through, all safe. We have
heard some say, who were church
members at home, "Oh, it is of no
use to try to be a Christian in the
army, for it is an impossibility to do
so where there is so much vice and
immortality An impossibility, why?
Simply because they have not trieG
to be Christians in the army; because
they have failed to call on God daily
for grace to sustain them amid the
trials and temptations incident to
camp life; because they came, rely
ing on their own strength too much,
and not enough on the God of bat
ties "who alone is able to save to the
uttcrmost, they that put their trust
in Him." We are thankful To our
Master that there is some OF us who
can say to the contrary-thaS man
can live Christian in the army. Is
not God the same here He is in our
country-is not His eyes upon us
here, and is not His ear open to our
prayer? All, yes, we bless his name
when he said, My grace is sufficient
for thee" that he meant any where
or the habitable Globe. And if any
set of men should be Christians
above another, surely it is the sold
Ter. They are exposed to dangers
all the time. not only to the little
messenger Of death from an enemys
gun, but to diseases of different kinds,
of which a. army is subjected to; but
still many are reckless in regard to
their souls best interest. Oh, Father
of mercy, have compassion on our
brother soldiers.
