\ gentleman in New York gave letter
If introduction to d student of music abou.

Upon the students return home, the gentle

lessons, bat he kept praying all the time
he was teaching me- Praying, Why,

he is straitened in every thing-who seem
to think that a Clergyman's family are be-
yond the necessary wants of other human
beings, and who, like your correspondent
O., entirely forget, in their s~elishness, that
the Divine Word itself lays down for US
the rule-"Even so hath the Lord also or
dained, that they who preach the gospel
should hue Of the gospel"
Now surely, Mr.. Editor, these facts are
proofs sufficient that instead of it's being
with our ~Clergymen, as yonr correspond
ent asserts-'no pay, no gospel it is, on
the contrary, rather-all gospel, and no
pay. [ am not one of those who hold,
with superstitious veneration for the office,
that Clergymen are immaculate, and must
on no occount be censured, even when
censure is due but [ an one who loves
justice and truth, and who reprobates the
cowardice which would, on false pretences,
strike a man either with fist, or pen,
when we know that his principles and his
position alike forbid his returning the
blow.

To the Editor of the ''St. CrOix Avis"

Mr.. Editor!
With your wonted clemency, permit the
insertion of a few remarks, by way of cor
recting the mistaken ideas Of Mr.. O., who
appeared in your issue of 21st instant, re-
specting the condition of Friedensthal
school, which after overcoming the disad-
yantages naturally resulting from the loss
of a tencher, it had long been accustomed
to (and such will happen to any school
where compulsory measures are not in
vogue, as Q rightly observed), ''nearly at
tanned its former efficiency, which position
it held for several years; but it is now de-
Ginning it is not in the same fourishing
condition that it was two years ago."
Mr.. Editor-Under the present circum-
stance presume you will excuse me for what
may be termed egotism, as there is nc one
better able than myself to aver, that Erie
densthal school not only nearly but Who'll
y attained its former efficiency, which it
continues to maintain. 1t is TAR from de-
cIining etc, to prove which, Q, or any one
interested, can take a walk to the Vale of
Peace at any time, and give the school q
fair trial.
Again, @ says, "the attendance is at pre-
sent, comparatively, not as good as that of
the public SCHOOL, assert that it is com
paratively better, because, when gratuitous
tuition is presented to the public, it is to
be expected that the numbers will increase
fourfold !; and of this the public School
dares not boast but on the contrary ought
to be silent with it's present number, from
the fact that it has not yet arrived at the
Acme of attendance expected of such q
school.
Present ON the Goth inst. at Friedensthal
School were 1870 children. Can the Pub
lie School at any time multiply that by 2
or 3, much less 4? Mr.. Editor, there could
have been more but where is the school
that has not vacillated under the stagna-
ting influences of the present adverse cir
CnmStances ?
I was constrained publicly to oppose Q's
asseverations, to satisfy those interested 10
the School, for i~nterrogations came from
various quarters as to the verify of its de-
clension. Hoping that the introduction of
public approbrium is stanched, | await fur
Their investigation.

TnE MAN HAscALr--The Atchison Champion
has the following tn say concerning the fellow
Hascall, who has been creating 40 much disturb
ance lately in Nebrasks p0litics:
Acting governor Hascall will be remembered
by all old citizens Of Atehison. He was one of
the first settlers of city, and one of the most
conspicuous advertisements in the old SsHaiter
Ssrerr;ss Was that of " Isaac 8. Hascall, Border
Rufian Law Office, aud Free Trade Lawyer as
his card read. We believe that Hascall was q
northern man, but he affiliated with and belong
ed to the intense pro-slavery party of Kansas
He was ut the outbreak Of the war, the candidate
of the rebel Democracy Of Atchson for the Office
Of Mayor, against Geo. H. Fairchild, Democrat,
who was supported by the union Democrats and
Republicans. All the old citizens will remember
this exciting contest, the most desperate and
fierce political battle ever waged in our city 1t
resulted in the success Of the union ticket. Has
call left Atchison shortly afterwards, and a few
years ago turned mp as Republican member OF
the Nebraska legislature. When he experienced
"ehange Of heart" we cannot say. Several OF
his associates on the Democratic ticket went of
and joined the rebel army, and one or two Of
them were afterwards killed fighting against
their country.

DOatD,
correspondent sends to the st. Louis Demo-
eyat . few "reminiscences of "boltsn in parties.
He sAys:
THE FIRST GREAT BOLT
Of this century occurred in 1874, when few anti
slavery Wings, not being willing to vote for Hen
~ Clay, got up convention and nominated w. g..
Bimey for President. What - the RESULT He
received 60 900 Wing votes, all told-just enough,
however, to defeat Clay, the idol of the Whig
party, and elected james Z. Polk.
The FREE SOL BOLT.
The next bolt occurred in the Democratic party,
I'm 1913, but with tho same results. General Cass
having beaten Martin Van Buren in the Dem
Ocratic convention, the bOlters got up free soil
convention, at Buffalo, N. Y, and nominated
Martin Van Buren, and Charles Francis Adams
for President and Vice President, which resulted
in the defeat Of Cass and the election of Taylor
and Fillmore.
GEN. sCOTT's DEFEAT.
The next bolt was in 1852, when General Scott
was nominated over Fillmore and Webster both
Of whom gave Scott the cold shoulder. Fillmore
the electoral vote Of Maryland only, but succeed
ed in electing Franklin Pierce over the "great-
est general of the age"-(Wellington.)
THE ANDY JOHNSON FIAsco.
Tho next effort Of the kind was in 1866, when
Andy johnson began to "swing around the cir
cle." His adherents met in Philadelphia in
September, adopted set of resolutions from the
pen Of the gifted Henry J. Raymond, of the New
York Times, and SO artfhlly were they drafted
that Andy thought he was sure of success as the
conservative candidate for the Presidency in 1863
Even Gov. Seward, on his tour 'around the cir
Gle, with Andy, at great speech which he made
at Auburn, New York, gave great pain to many
thousands of his old friends and neighbors (among
whom was the writer) by declaring that the
conservative party would defeat the Republican
party in the ensuing election in New York by
10000 majority. But We were consoled by Ger
tain other fallaeious prediction of this eminent
statesman, made at the AstOr House banquet in
February, 1861, when on his way to Washington
to assume the portfolio of the state department,
viz: He announced "the rebelling will all be
crushed in ninety days." His predictions alike
failed of verifcation, Fenton being reelected
governor of New York by 1879 in the November
following.

II any of the Republican leaders inimical to
President Grant have entertained the idea that he
will not be renOminated at Philadelphia i'm June,
recent events must dispel the impression. Every
State in which the Republican party has spoken
at all, has pronounced uneqnivocally in his favor
with the exception of Louisiana. There NAV be
opposition in New England, but we question
whether it will have emphasis enough to affect
the vote of single State. There will lie close
contest in Pennsylvania, but the friends of Gov
ernOr Curtin divided the issue. and the vast
personal strength and cOusummate political tact of
Gen. Cameron will make the organization sure
for Grant. In any event we may feel sure that
there will be delegation from New York that will
vote for Grant.-N. 7. Herald
