few days ago They adopted me
mortal to the Legislature, which rep.
resents that they fought valiantly to

they ought to get some OF the benefits
Of it. Specifically, they ask that they

The Georgia Legislature, for the
promotion of the agricultural interests,
passed bill for the transportation Of
lime on the State road, provided it

Sf'eachcr-' Convention.
UNIVERSITY or MISSISSIPPI
November IL, 1866.

V EDIroRs CLARION; Much has been
written within the past few months on
the subject ola Teachers Convention,
and several times have been appointed
for meeting, but hitherto some OBJ
struction has been thrown in the way,
and no meeting has been held. Ii is
highly desirable to organize such an
association in the State, and it is
probable that really nothing has thus
far been lost by the delay that has oc.
cured There would have been some
want of preparation apparent in the
deliberations of n body assembled
from all parts of the State, without
any opportunity for previous inter
change Of views, We have gained
somewhat indeed by the partial ag-
itation which has been given to the
subject by different teachers. Our at
tention has been excited. Our minds
have been set to work, and we have
thought on the matter We are now,
in my opinion, prepared to enter upon
this work Of organization. But still
the period of the year, the engage
ments of teachers, the scarcity of
funds, and the want Of welEdigested
plans among us, admonish us to
"hasten slowly" Without desiring,
or designing to dictate, beg to sug-
gest the following as a prudent meth
cd of procedure: Let preliminary |
meetings of the Teachers of different |
districts OF the State be held at some |
central point in each district, during
the last week Of December Let these
teachers discuss topics of interest,
such as may be suggested by any
and after Interchange of
views, full and frank, on all subjects
let programme of matters
leemed appropriate for the action of !
General Convention, be prepared to
be sent up to such a Convention to be
leld atsome period during the next
summer vacations. We shall all then
20 to such a Convention prepared to
deliberate understandibglE and with
some previous knowledge at least of
what will come before u.s.
AS a step in this direction, ] will
i'd, that such preliminary meeting
las already been called to take place
Il the University of Mississippi on the
18th ofDecember, for the benefit of all
he teachers of North Mississippi. OF
curse, all teachers will be welcome
rom anypart Of the State, but this is
more particularly for the convenience
# North Mississippi.
1t will be not amiss to say in addi-
ion to the above, that one object of
hese preliminary meetings will be to
X the day of the meeting Of the Gen
raj Convention Some of us who
usually met in Jackson recently,
greed to recommend Wednesday,
LIST day of July 1867, as the most
time for the assembling of
he General Convention; and Jack
On, Miss, as the place.

FLORIDA COLONY FROM CoNNEcucuT.
The Hartford Courant says

The Hartford Courant says
Messrs. Tatro and Sanches, of this
city, and others OF the Florida colony,
sailed from New York on Saturday for
their new home. Another party Of
the same colony, and bound for the
same destination, sailed from Balti-
more on Thursday. Others will fol
low as soon as they can get ready.
Quite a number Of families will be rea-
dy to 90 as soon as shelter can be pro
vided, and we learn that that will be
very soon, as there is an eighty horse
power steam saw mill now in running
order, which will supply lumber for
building. The prospect appears f.
vorable for a large colony Of a good
class of Northern nm and their fami-
lies to make permanent settlement in
Florida.

very protracted and severe, being of several
weeks duration, during which time her
friends were continually alternating between
hopes and fears for her recovery. She was
lady greatly respected and loved by all
who knew her, and the announcement OF
her death seemed to cast shadow over the
entire community, in which her loss has left
an irreparable vacancy. The burial took
place on Thursday last, on which occasion Rev
Mr.. Dickinson, of Salem, delivered an elo-
quent, affecting and appropriate funeral ad'
dress, in the presence of large concourse of
relatives and friends of the deceased. 1t is
worthy of notice that Judge Boise, with a
commendable regard for the stricken hus'

member of the Linn county bar-adj journed
Court during the funeral ohSequies, so that
all those who desired could pay that tribute
of respect to the memory of the departed
wife of their fellow-practitioncr. In behalf
of the bereavcd husband, US we'll as other

to express grateful thanks TO those friends
who were SO kind and attentive during her
illness, assuring all such that their noble
acts are fully appreciated and will long be
