The Educational Convention.

MEssRs EDITORS CLARION:
notice in your paper an announce
ment, that a Convention of profes-
sional teachers is to be held in your
city within three weeks from the pres
ent time. Is not this premature
Why hasten the matter SOL Why not
postpone it till January, or at least,
November Will wisdom die ere
then, or is the patient about to ''shuf-
fie off this mortal coil p 1t is not the
last shot to be had at the game, l hope,
hand yet there is danger of soaring it
away by random shooting, and great
deal Of unnecessary shouting. Give
us time to take good aim. Don't LET

we are choked to death Remember
that we, unfiedged bipeds, are of the
class called ruminant, and would like
to chew the quid, little. Just do, if
you please. then Messrs. Editors; and
unless our little establishment of a
world don't run off the track, some of
the professional of to day will live to
see the year of Grace 1867, in which
plans will have come better to light

| footing Gentlemen, | am a profess
sional teacher, and have long cherished
the fond hope that my day would not
pass away, ere | could greet every one
of my profession, not merely teachers
in name, but in fact-true educators,
leading forth the young mind, Gagged
in ignorance, and pointing it on the
road to conquest, over insensate mat
ter, and that, too, not for the purposes
of the Unitarian, but the soul-life
which breathes in'every healthy circle

is plan for the accomplishment of
this to be concocted in the short space

= 1t has been represented to this office
that in some instances Assistant As
SCISSORS have used their official posi-
tons to secure nominations to local
offices, and it is urged that their rela-
ton to the tax payer is such that they
may use it to their personal advantage,
in this respect, if so disposed. 1t is
also believed that the position of can
didate for Office before the people is
unfavorable to that strict impartiality
which is so essential to proper dis
charge of the duties of an Assistant
Assessor.
The Secretary of the Treasury has
therefore directed that notice be given
that the acceptance of nomination
for an elective Office by any Assistant
Assessor will be taken as evidence that
he no longer desires to retain his posi-
ton. Assessors are instructed to
promptly report the name of any As
sistant who may accept, or who is
known to be seeking, any such office,
in order that a successor may be forth
with appointed.

ALIEN. H. STEPHENS.- Troy
IN " Wing says that a gentleman
who had an interview with Mr.. Ste
phens at Philadelphia on the morning
of the 10th, says that of the actions
and permanent influence of the Con
vention, he was sanguine of the most
suspicious results. For the first time
since the war the South had been heard.
Her loyal submission, her full acquies-
cenee, her utter desolation, must move
the nation to accord to her the conf
dence Of cooperation in the Govern
ment. The anomaly of supporting
the burdens of Government and not
sharing its privileges and opportunl-
ties could not longer continue. He re-
lied upon the sober second thought
and justice of the North. Time would
bring it out. The Convention was the
beginning of the end of State inequali-
ty and vassalage. Mr.. Stephens de
clares that the South is unanimous for
Union and for all the new conditions
of things which the last war hecessi-
tated and all the responsibility rests
with the North, simply to act up to
the spirit in which the war was decIar-
ed to be Waged, and on which the sub
mission of the Confederacy was receiv-
ed. Now that the people had come to-
gether misunderstanding and estrange-
ment could not much longer, be main
tanned.

THE CLARIoN-This most excellent
and enterprising Journal has recently
added feature of great interest and
importance to its columns, which must
necessarily increase its already exten-
sive circulation, especially along the
line of the New Orleans Road. We
allude to the fact that the full dispatch
es of the Associated Press are now
published in the Clarion, the leading
paper of the Mississippi press.
This enables that Journal, under the
present schedule of the New Orleans,
Jackson and Great Northern Railroad,
to be ahead of the New Orleans pa
pers, in furnishing the latest kilograms
at this and other points on the road
North of Manchac.
This will be quite an item to the cot
ton buyers, especially as the telegraph
here is abolished.

paper published in Minnesota, gives
the following account of the trials of
a fond husband:
Shortly after daylight yesterday
morning 4 stranger was rushing
around the city in hot haste, and max
ing anxious inquiries for his wife,
who had been spirited from his downy
couch during the night before, and he
was dolOl Ously lamenting over his sad
loss, not lessened by any means by
the missing fair one having two hun
dred OF his hard earned dollars secre-

his wife were on 4 specializing and

night the conjugal pair sojourned at
the four mile house, between Saint

day dawned the wife cautiously stole

wise two hundred and twenty five dol

struck out fOrparts unknown. When
the too fond and confiding man awoke
from his sleep, and also to the fact that
his scrip, too, was missing, his grief
was great, especially as all the money
he had left was one melancholy five
dollar bill. The loser of the lovely
spouse and dearer s'spuds" lost no
time in making known the facts, and
efforts were being made yesterday to
capture the frail creature, together
with potion of the wadding that no
doubt gives fine tout ensemble to her
gushing bosom. At last accounts the
search was unsuccessful, and the I'M
