CONCERNING SCHOOL TEACHERS.

From the Chicago Post.
st. Louis, in one thing, is taking the lead
OF Chicago; but then, as she is behind in
everything else, We do not hesitate to con-
cede it. The concession will delight that
village; and it may stimulate this city to look
to its laurels in direction where sluggish
ness is barbarism.
The st. Louis School Board has been for
some months discussing the propriety of
making the salaries of the principals of first
class schools uniform-that is, of paying the
women principals as much as the men. The
proposition has met with vigorous resistance,
but 1t was SO plainly just that it prevailed,
and last week the vote was passed command
ing uniformity according to the new policy
adopted. The member of the board who was
the mouth-piece of the ''noes" SO to speak
rejoices in the gaudy patronymic of Peacock.
His arguments were earnest, but not conyinc-
ing-at least, not convincing on his side

ported as exceeding in numbers half q mil
lion of men; that each Of the powerful and |
expansive wings of the Grown Prince and
Prince Frederick Charles numbers two hun
dred and fifty thousand men, and that the
veteran Steinmetz, who appears to be second
edition of Blucher, holds in the centre a
chosen body of nearly hundred thousand
men. Nor is this all; for it further appears
that a second German army, one hundred
and fifty Thousand strong, is following King
Williams to protect his rear and his commu-
nications, &C. This German campaign,
therefore, in France dwarfs the most imposing
campaigns of the First Napoleon; for even
the mighty army with which he marched into
Russia, French and Germans, hardly num-
bered, all told, four hundred thousand men.
In half q dozen or more of the recent bat
ties, from Woertb to the line of the Moselle,
it would appear from the reports received
that the Prussian force alone has exceeded in
numbers the strength of all the three armies
engaged in the battle of Waterloo.
The great mistake of Napoleon. then, it
would appear, in entering upon this war was
in his calculations concerning the German
army he would have to meet in the field. He
evidently supposed that a fighting French
force of two hundred and fifty thousand men
would be sufficient for all the requirements
of short triumphant campaign to Berlin;
and under this erroneous calculation he ad-
vanced to the Prussian frontier and opened
the ball in the little deceptive affair of Saar-
bruck. We say deceptive, for only few
days after it the rejoicings Of Paris were
changed into panic with the news of the
defeat of MacMahon by the overwhelming
forces of the enemy. BY one-half Napo-
Icons estimates have fallen short of the
actual German army to be overcome. Can he
now repair this blunder! Can he even re-
pair his losses with his new levies of raw
troops? The odds are heavily against him.
He can hardly recover his strength short of a
retreat with his disabled army to Paris. In
the stubbornness of despair the tide of bat
tie may, perhaps, be turned; but this alter
native involves all the hazards of a crushing
defeat.
The only perfectly safe alternative of Napo-
leon in the crisis as it appears to us, is the
armistice suggested by King William and a
treaty of peace. This will give the Emperor
tie strong hand over Paris, through his still
powerful and loyal army, and then, through
a conference of the great powers, which
Prussia can hardly deny, looking TO the gene
raj interests of peace. France, under the
empire, may be regularly acknowledged by
all the great powers, and still be maintained
intact. England, Russia and Austria have
only to unite in saying that there must be
peace, and there will be peace; for has not
Prussia already amply vindicated her rights
and the rights of the German Fatherland," 1"
and has not Napoleon had enough of war to
satisfy him that 'the empire is peace!
