Owing to the delay in the Paymaster
Generals Office in paying the additional
bounty, the soldier claimants have be-
come very impatient. Some have very
naturally taken the impression that
the claim agents throughout the coun-
try have collected the money and are
using 1t. Whatever else may be laid to
their charge, we are satisfied this i'm
preston is mistaken one.
These bounty claims are paid by a
Paymaster's check for the 500 on New
York, which check is made payable to
the soldier claimant, or to his order.
OF course any bank or banker, and al
most any merchant in the United States
will cash this check. But no one will
or should cash it till the soldier himself,
in person, writes his own name on the
back of the check. This Is because IL
Is payable to the soldiers order only.
Now the Claim Agent would have to
commit a forgery to get the money
after he got the check. It is not TO be
supposed that an attorney would thus
render bimself liable to the penitentia-
ry. A claim agent must be most anx-
tous to let the soldier know whenever
his claim is paid. He cannot get his
fee till the soldier signs the check, or
rather endorses 1t. Now II an agent
has one hundred claims, he has, say at
IS per claim, $500 interest In the bounty,
and would be more interested to have
Il paid soon than the soldier who.will get
only Sa5. Depend upon 1t, every soldier
viii hear promptly from his agent
whenever his claim is paid. Congress
has appointed q committee of three
Congressmen to remaIn in Washington
urge on and facilitate the payment OF

A report on school discipline. sub
mItted to the Educational Convention
in Richmond, Va, last week, was pre-
pared by Gen. Robert E. Lee. He gives
his idea OF what teachers should be as
follows:
''The selection of proper persons for
the office OF teacher is u matter of the
first importance, and as its duties re-
quIre long and comprehensive prepara-
ton, it should be regarded as among
the most honorable and important pro-
fessions, and be committed to those
whose beneficial influence aud instruc-
tion shall embrace morals and religion,
as well as the intellect. The teacher
should be the example of the pupil.
Heshould aim at the highest att tainable
proficiency. and not at pleasing me-
diocrity. Unless he can teach those
committed to his care to think and to
work, and can impart 10 them vlgor
with learning, there can be no real adj
vance. He must study the character
and disposition of his pupils, and adopt
his course ofdiscipline to their pecu-
liarIties. Above all, he must be uni
form, consistent, hrm, kind in his con-
duct, teach more by acts than words,
and show the children under his charge
that he has their true interest at heart.
He should look upon them not only as
the parents of a new generation, but
also as heirs of immortality, and while
preparing them for usefulness in this
life, instiI into their impressible minds
principles of piety and religion; for If
1t be true, as taught by history, that
greatness depends upon virtue. it is
eQ uAlly true that religion Is the foun-
tain and support of virtue.
Should the daily business of the
school be conducted on such principles,
and the pupils be trained-in the habits
OF obedience, reverence and truthful
ness, and be convinced that they are
noble and lovely in themselves, and
their practice manly and honorable,
the main object of education will have
been attained.
In addition to these moral influences,
teacher should be clothed with all the
authority of the parent in the discharge
of his duties, and be sustained by him
SO long as he may intrust his child to
his care. That he may be kept con-
stantly informed Of the conduct of his
child, weekly, quarterly and yearly re-
ports of his progress should be sent
him by the teacher, In which should be
stated his absences, late attendance and
| misbehavIor. Certificates of advance
ment should likewise be given TO those
| who excel in studies and conduct. The
/ system of punIshments ought to be as
simple and mild as they can be made
effective, and when coercion has to be
resorted TO, it should be generally left
to the parent. Should admonition, re-
strIction of recreation, &C., fail 10 pro-
duce the desired effect, and the pupil
| obstinately resist the patient expostu-
laLIon of the teacher, there will then be
no other resource than to return him 10
his parents as one unworthy place In
the school. -5

Correspondence Of Lhe Cincinnati COumsTctaL
OF the fifty Thousand Germans to
whom st. Louis affords a home, most
OF them are free thinkers; the more
aristocratic and wealthy ones patrons
of the club, and the poorer classes de-
rivlng Sunday consolation from the
Sunday theatres and beer gardens.
These people seldom, II ever, trouble
the churches, and though forming a
large and wealthy class it would be
wrong to Judge Uf the religion of the
city and omit to mention them. st.
Louis has no single minister that can
be esteemed first class. No Beecher or
Chapin-of course not; not even "a Tying,
Vinton, Burchard, Hatfield; not even a
sensationalfst. Consequent upon this
inferiority of pulpit talent little inter-
est Is taken in a church outside Of its
particular patrons, and a 81. Louis
Sunday Is a splendid holiday. Beer
gardens and beer houses are in full blast.
The best bands OF the city are always en-
gagged for the peoples amusement. The
parks are crowded, and the whole city
seems to regard Sunday as gala day.
In the evening the theatres tGerman)
are thronged, and there are several of
them, and the largest audience we ever
saw at any theatre in st. Louis was of
Sunday evening at the Varieties
Theatre, TO witness the opera Of "Five
Hundred Thousand Devils, - when the
house was literally packed from i'pIt to
DOME" In no city Is there 80 good
chance for missionary work as in st.
Louis; not prosel yting, but bringing
those into the fold who never have been
to church, never go to church, and are
actually heathen. Here u, then, good
work for the various relIgio Us denont-
nations of the country. Instead ofget-
ting mp societies, a. Sleek says in the
play, $40 send more tracts and red Han
mel shirts to every fresb-born Ethiopian
babe, )" let them plant their banners in
st. Louis and go TO work.

WHEELING WEST VA WEDNESDAY MORNING JULY "a 1851.

count Of large picnic held In grove
near Trappe, in that county, on the 4th
of July, and adds:
1.-THE great feature of the day was an
election ut ten cents vote, to deter
mine the prettiest and most popular la
dy Of the district, to whom a splendid
fruit cake was awarded, the proceeds Of
the election to go to the Trappe band.
Over 8, 900 votes were cast. thus netting
the band about $500. The principal
candidates were Miss Welch, Miss
Caulk and Miss Orendorf. Up to within
a minute of closing the polls, Miss
Caulk was several hundred votes ahead
and her admirers were confident of sue
cess; but friend OF Miss Welch, kept
his ballot back 10 the last, paid 500
and gave her a thousand votes, which
secured her the victory by some six
hundred plurality, amid the plaudits of
her friends. This is a novel way of de-
termining the prettiest girl in the
neighborhood."

THE application of steam to common
road travel has for years been a matter
of recurrent experiment, and from time
to time instances of apparent practical
success are reported, but SO far none OF
these seem to have become generally
utilized. In France and England car
riages were long ago constructed capa-
BILE OF travelling with speed and safety
over highways and streets; but we do
not hear of their practical adaptation
to ordinary locomotion either for pas
sengers or merchandise. The latest ex-
pertinent of this kind occurred in Bos-
ton the other day, and II newspaper re-
ports may be believed, the steam wagon
would seem to be admirably adapted
for purposes OF light weight convey
ance through city and country. "a
light open buggy" says a Boston pa
T1er. son which were seated TWO men,
"a me down Washington street yester-
day. from the South End, with no visi-
BILE means of locomotion save a slight
apparatus underline box. The vehicle
came down the track just behind a
horse car but when the car stopped,
the buggy was turned aside and passed
bv the car. guided as eAsilyras II horse
had been attached" This application
of steam TO the common roads is a Ques-
ton of general importance, but as af-
fectfng The business OF steam locomo-
ton on railways. It has a special siRnih-
canoe, and may, at no remote period,
tell largely in favor OF the long lines of
railroad and 70 the pejudlce of short
ones.

THE progress OF the West is described
by a writer in the Cincinnati Gazette
who says that seventy-three years ago
the first boat started from Cincinnati
up the Ohio. 1t was bullet-proof,
equipped with two cannon and small
arms. The round trip to Pittsburgh
was made in about four weeks. AT
that time Cincinnati was mere mill
tary post, which three years afterwards
only contained five hundred inhab-
itants. Pittsburgh was a little nest
built away up in the forks of this great
highway OF nature, and between these
two points wilderness stretched on
either side of the river. Seventy-three
years since-and Fort Washington,
with a population of two or three hun
dred. is Cincinnati with population O:
$50, 900: Pittsburgh Is no longer nest,
but it is a great city; the two or three
dots of civilization between those two
points have multiplied into hundred
and ten thriving cities and villages, all
palpitating with the industry OF a Tree
and prosperous people. The steamers
that now ply the river, could they all
be brought together, would make
floating city in which a hundred thou
sand people could dwell with comfort.

mont, West Virginia. l have visited
a.shores, mountain submits, Mag
for genial company, bracing atmos-
phere, pure water, wholesome food, and
general enjoyment, Fairmont is pre-
ferable to any of the more fashionable
resorts. My fourth annual visit only
adds to my good opinion ofthe place
and peoplu.
Fairmont is the seat of West Vir-
ginia Normal School, already In sue
cessf1l operation. This Institution is a
chartered one, literally supported by
the more intelligent and enterpriEing
citizens of the place; and 1t has also re-
ceived an appropriation from the State
of 5000. J. n. Boyd. Esq, editor of
the Third Ward Public Scnool, Allie
gheny City, (the largest school in
PepnsylyRnia, } is the efficient and In
dustrious Principal OF the Normal
School, assisted by Rev. ID. b. Dorsey,
NJ. D., one of the most original think-
ers and accomplished teachers In the
State. These gentlemen are Jointly In
terested in the enterprise, and their
efforts to establish an institution OF
learning OF the highest order, are
heartily appreciated by all the teachers
Of the community.
The corner stone OF the new Normal
School building will be laid on the 18th
of August. The site is an eligible one,
high and airy, overlooking the river. n
beautiful suspension bridge, and the
railroad, with the village of Palatine
and the wooded hills beyond in full
view. The building will be 6s140,
two stories, with high basement, and
commodious grounds. This, however,
is only "wfng' of the contemplated
editce. The friends OF the Normal
School are anticipating a grand time
on the occasion Of laying the corner
stone. Hon. Charles SumDer, o. s.
Senator from Massachusetts, has been
invited to deliver the address, and is
confidently expected. The plans are
perfected for the immediate completion
and finishing OF the building; and Fair
mont, In addition to its native intelli-
gence, will soon be the center of attrac
ton for educators on account of the So
cIety of its Normal School. Such an
institution will bring honor TO the State.
1t will be patroniZed by hundreds who
are to become the educators of the
young OF West Virginia. 1t will be the
fOuntainhead whence the thoughts and
activities OF the rising masses Will
broaden and deepen into currents of
perpetually increasing good to the COM
monwealth.
Other improvements are noticeable in
Fairmont. New buildings are under
way, and old ones being repaired and
frightened up. All in all, thinking OF
the hospitality and intelligence of her
people, the neaIthfulness and heart
someness other location, her well-Ht-
tended churches and happy Sabbath
Schools, the life and liberality of her
educational institutions, her sprightly
newspaper, and romantic scenery and
surroundings, 1 commend to nil who
would seek home, transient or per-
manent, the quiet, beautiful and enjoy
able Fairmont, on the banks OF the
upper MonongRhela. VISITOR
