At meeting OF the old soldiers Of our city
at Col Egberts Office last night it was de-
cided to call meeting to be held on Thurs.
day night, Goth, to organize an Old Soldiers
Society Of Scott County.
This will undoubtedly prove an interest
ing instructive, and pleasant society. The
Old Settlers society is one Of the institu-
tions Of our county, and its annual meetings
are looked forward to by its members with
pleasure aud impatiencs. Inycars to come.
nothing will be more appropriate than that
those who have fought side by..sidc for the
last four years should unite annually in re-
membrance Of the past, fight over the con-
tests Of olden times, and preserve traces 81
their mutual careers. An Historical depart
ment could be attached, and fact. the most
necessary, instructive. and interesting to
the historian and biographer might be pre-
served from oblivion. Their annual meet
ings could be made doubly attractive BY Z
parade in arms and uniforms. Every Scott
County soldier should be on hand on the
designated evening, to aid with voice and
vote in setting this important affair On foot.
The ANNUAL Meeting Of the Scott Coun.
ty Bible Society, held on Sabbath evening
last in the Congregational church, was very
largely attended and proved very interest.
ing. James y. Dalzell. Esq, President OF
the Society, occupied the chair. The exer-
cises were opened by Rey. II. Wallace, by
reading of the Scriptures and prayer. The
Secretary's report, presented by J. s. Con
ner, Esq, Secretary, showed that during the
past year the Society had been successfully
prosecuting its work Of circulating the Scrip
lures. Rev. James NJ Dick had been EN-
ployed for two months in canvassing the en-.
tire county with the exception of Daven-
port city and lie Claire and Princeton town.
ships; the latter township being in the ter.
ritory assigned to the Lie Claire Society. Nj
Dick visited nearly thousand families, con.
versing and praying with the people and
scattering the Word. He sold 26s Bibles
and 20s Testaments. and found but nine.
teen families entirely destitute. The total
value Of Bibles and Testaments sold at The
Depository during the year. including those

TO TIE PEOPLE.

+ People of the South: You have cheer
fully made many noble sacrifices for the
scause of Southern independence. You
have freely given of your property and your
blood. : Having paid so dearly for our free.
dom, which We think, in the providence of
God, assure, can you fail to watch the fu-
ture of our nation7 To gain our indepen-
dence as nation will be an inestimable
blessing;' but to neglect the mental and
moral training of the children of the South
would be to destroy our independence, and
loose the dear, Blood bought treasure.
acknowledge is power" 1t is better
than riches or. honor. 1t is the principal
thing. We, therefore, beg your influence
and cooperation in the cause Of Southern
education. But it may bo asked, "What
can we do,ip this woEk?" You can call
into the school room the teachers who are
to train the young. You can. encourage
and support them in their arduous work
Our SCHOOLS would all soon be filed with
able and competent teachers, if they were
called out, and properly encouraged and
remunerated by our people. Then, dear
people of the South, raise your voices at
once and call for the educated ladies of our
