TEAcHIyG IN ALABAWA.-H will be recoI-
Iected that, a few weeks since, an article
was published in tho LEADER, relating to
the treatment of Northern Ohio lady, teach
ipg N Alabama, in the service of the Cleve-
land Freedmen's Aid Commission.
This lady was obliged to leave her com
Portable boarding place, because the family
| could not endure the loss of caste, and the
threats of violence to which they were sub
jected, for harboring, not merely an Adolf
t~ionists, but a "Nigger Teacher" and she
was compelled to find refuge in q negro
family.
" In this" Mrs. - says q was for
~tunate, for I am comfortably situated. and
away from the clamor of rebel women, who
came daily to pour out their wrath and in
dignation upon me-"
Since that time, she has encountered new
obstacles and series of petty prosecutions,
that N u have driven o person of ordinary
courage and resolution from the field; but
she stood alone, braved the storm and re-
manned firm at her post.
This teacher writes under date of April
18Th al was advised this morning, to
leave this place, as the troops were all being
removed. The Captain of the Bureau
thought it would not do at all for me to re-
main, and I commenced making prepare
tions for leaving, when one of the most
prominent citizens called on me for the pur-
pose of urging me TO remain. He assured
me that I should be protected, approved Of
my course, said he was confident I was
doing good, and that he hoped would, by
all means, send for more teachers"
Letthe number of such teachers be greatly
increased let them take, not only their
intelligence and culture into the school
room, but their q Yankee" ideas of economy
and thrift into the cabin, and their Chris
tan courtesy everywhere. Prejudice will
be disarmed, and neither Southern men nor
yet Southern women will long be able 10
resist their power, but will be as ready to
give encouragement and support as they
have hitherto been to annoy and hinder
them in the prosecution of their noble work.

sistible and older people will be refreshed

TIE SOUTHERN RAILwAY.-A correspond
of the Cincinnati Enquirer urges the
following route fer the new Southern Rail-
way:
Beginning at Falmouth and running
thence up the valley of Licking, diverging
up the valley of H.nkston to Mt. Sterling.
and thence up the valley of State to the d.
vide between its waters and Cane Creek
hence down Cane Creek to Red River:
thence up it with the Middle Fork and TO
The divide between Red River and the wa
of Kentucky River, down the divide
10 Proctor or the Three Forks; thence M
he South Fork ria Goose Creek Salt Works
% Cumberland Gap, and thence to Straw
berry Plains, interesting the Virginia and
Tennessee railroads at that point By this
-ouie it is only two hundred and fifty miles
rom Cincinnati TO Knoxville, of which If
,y-eight miles are already completed, leav-
ug a gap Of only one hundred and ninety
wo miles.
The following table of distances will be
ound substantially correct: ,
From Falmouth to Mount Sterling, forty ]
i've miles from Mount Sterling to Proctor, {
Orty-seven miles from Protor TO Cumber- :
and Gap, seventy miles from Cumberland :
to Strawberry Plains, thirty miles.
This route Las these advantages: The
