The Pia."deatcr of August fourth

The Pia,ndeater of August fourth
says:
Last week brings the road nearer to
us. The workmen are engaged in grad
inc the road over the Smith hill, 6 mill
es north OF Oakland. The route final
ly adopted in crossing this ridge is the
old trail which passes through the farm
of David Underwood The ridge is not
very high, but the difficulty in crossing
is caused by the fact that it is narrow
aud there are no spurs to assist IN the
ascent. The cut through the pass will
be 30 feet, and to attain this altitude it
becomes necessary to make several
curves through the farm of Mrs. Smith
aud others. This is the only point on
the road between Eugene City and
this place which presents any serious
difficulty.

Common Schools.

There is no one thing in which the
public should be more interested than
the subject of common schools; and
yet, with few exceptions, we find but
very little feeling exhibited in that
direction. In the common schools the
mind of the child receives its most
lasting impressions. The great mass of
our citizens receive all their knowledge
of books in the primary school; and
after quitting this branch of educa>
tional advantages, never avail them~
themselves of anything higher, but rely
upon the knowledge there obtained as
foundation upon which to build, by
observation and experience. Of how
much importance it is, then, that as
many advantages should be offered as
possible TO everyone attending these
StHOOIS, W duNduCG thSHi Az al Wv
branches that can be offered. Teachers
should be well qualified, and study to
make their vocation as interesting as
possible, both to themselves and their
pupils. The practice of holding teach
er's Institutes, and having organiza
ton for the promotion of the best inter
ests of their profession should be more
prevalent than it Is.
We have been surprised that the
teachers Of our own county have teen
so backward in organizing for the in
terests of common schools. There are
many advantages to be gained by it. In
their practice teachers have the priyi-
lege of an Interchange of ideas, avail
themselves of the experience Of each
other; secure regular system of text
books, and many advantages that cam
not be obtained in any other way. We
hope to see more interest taken in this
direction, and trust the time is not far
distant when we will have County Insti-
tute which wili equal any in the coun-
try. From this WouId emanate class
of teachers who would be willing to
make school teaching a profession, aud
not merely stepping stone to somo-
thing else With a juvenile population
not execlle, By that Of any other see
ton Of our vast country, if we can
secure the passage 1t law 70 protect
the Interests of common schools, aod
obtain the earnest cooperation Of all !
teachers and friends Of education, we !
may soon have system of common
schools that cannot be cxccllcd, and /
from the district schoo. house will en-
anate persons qualified for the common
pursuits of life, and we'll prepared for I
the grave responsibilities resting upon
them as citizens of our glorious COM
Without this cooperation
we cannot expect to arrive at that high I
standard of excellence, and we must !
expect our common schools to be below |
the standard which has been attained I
BY many of our sister States. There
ire are no great rewards to be obtained /
unmatched by need Of labor, and we
cannot expect any Advancement with~
lut the necessarE lahor to secure il.

Fer Coroner and Ranger,
W. O. MABRY.
The committee also submitted The
following resolutions
Rssolrsd, That tho following Tx.
ecutive committed be, and the same
are, hereby appointed.

The foregoing nominations and
resolution of the committee, upon
motion Of Col. w. /. johnson, were
all received and unanimously adopt
ed by the house, by acclamation.-
While the committee was at work
the meeting was addressed by Col.
II. w. Walter.
Col. Walter made a short but spir>
tied, appropriate address; he show
ed that the Radical rule was op-
pressive, uncomfortable, and urged
that it was the duty of all good men
to go earnestly to work to defeat
that party. Col. Walter was tol>
lowed by Mr.. James Hall, our can
didate for District Attorney, Capt.
J.J. Meek, whc made short but in
structivc speeches.
MIR. Hall introduced the follow
ing:
Resolved, That the Executive COM
mlttce be authorized, and are hereby
requested, to appoint at once, sub
executive committees for each Su-
pervisor's District in the county,
whose duty it shall be to act with the
Central Executive Committee in all
matters pertaining to their respect
i've Beats, aud that the Executive
Committee be requested to meet at
this place on Friday next to organ
ize and take immediate steps to-
wards making a thorough and vigor-
Gus canvass of the county.
Capt. Sam Mathews was then
called for by the house and made
but few yet very appropriate re-
marks, and took occasion to men,
ton the fact that, at the late Radical
convent ion held at this place, he had
been recommended for the office of
County Surveyor, and stated that be
had no connection, or had never af-
fliated in any manner, with the Rad
ical party, and that he learned that
the party having no member who
wanted the office, and knowing that
he would be acceptable to the peo.
pie, thought proper to announce
him. These are facts, however, that
most of us knew before hearing the
explanation Of Capt. Matthews.
Col. w. B. johnson and Guilford
Vaughan, (colored), WE'RE called
for and made speeche, after which
the committee having reported the
nominations, which we're approved
