some prominent spiritualists whom he might

the case Of the genial Edmonds falls to the

them to be correct, and do not consider them

The necessity Of normal schools, for the
preparation of teachers, he believed to be
imperative That the advantages derived
therefrom would be very great in furnishing
instructors for the youth of the State He
said it did not follow that because man
has a thorough education, he will make a
good teacher. His description of country
school teachers was not very hattering to
that useful class Of citizens. The evils of
the present system ought to be remedied at
once, and the best method to accomplish
this is TO adopt the system of normal schools
from which a supply Of competent teachers,
can be turned out. Wherever the normal
schools have been established, better class
ofteachers have been attained, and better
schools have been the result.

ARRESTED FOR STEALING A WATCH
George Williams alias Brown Green, coIored,
was arrested about eight o'clock last night,
charged with stealing a watch cut of
McClure's tin shop, on Market street. He
was arrested by policeman Mayo, and ac-
knowledged the larceny, but could not find
the negro to whom he had sold the watch
for 81. While taking him to the police
station at Fireman's Hall, No. 8, he broke
away from the officer, and attempted to es-
cape, but was recaptured by party of SOL
diers, one Of whom, the negro says, cut him
with his sabre. When we saw him he was
bleeding profusely from a wound over the
eye, but it is not probable it was caused by
a sabre cut. The soldiers assert that he
hurt himself when he fell down. DIR.
Atchison dressed his wound, and he was
conveyed to the workhouse. While the
negro was running, the officer fred four
shots at him, one them passing through his
coat.

A VALUABLE PABPHLEI.-We are in

tributors; the Conquered Banner" by
'Moina;" the "Sword of Lee" by the same,
and the reply to the Conquered Banner"
by Sir Henry Haughton, Bart
The Grafton and the poems by 'Moina,"
are products Of the same splendid mind, and
will live always in Southern literature. The
Grafton is an epitOme of the philosophy ofthe
American Fourth Of July, as true in sub
stance as it is brilliant in style and express
sion; while the two poems are the inspira-
ton Of a very high poetic genius. We look
upon Fstheryan r as one of the first men of
his age in the country, and point to these
productions for the justification Of this opin-
ion. He is young in years. vigorous in in
teliect, and we anticipate still further evil
dences Of his geuius
The history Of the St. Mary's Association,
whose objects are only charitable, has a
local interest which adds to the value Of the
publication, and the whole should find a
place in the house and library Of all our
people, both in the city and country.
