NORMAL SCHOOL LECTURE. At IL
o'clock to-day, Rev. DR.. Henkle, accord
ing to previous announcement, delivered o
lecture before the young lady pupils of
the Richmond Normal school. Beside
the scholars, quite number of persons
interested in the school and the cause of
education attended, and listened with great
interest to the remarks of DIR. Henlxle.
We have only time and space to give the
points of the lecture, which, though brief,
was replete with information and mature
advice concerning the practical concerns of
life.
The propositions discussed by DR.. Hen
kle were: First--No nation can be great
and prosperous without being moral. Sc
cond--No nation can command any great
influence without being moral, nor can it
be moral in the highest sense, without be-
ing educated. Third-No nation can be
truly great, prosperous or influential with
out woman's condition being morally ele-
waited. Fourth---How shall the moral con-
dition of woman be elevated :? BY educa-
ton.
The lecture cannot fail to exert benef-
cial influence. At its conclusion the pupils
went through some elocutionary and musi-
cal exercises, and all acquitted themselves
well. We are glad to note the encouraging
prospects Of the school, and the re-
newed interest manifested in its welfare.
and hope that the lectures will become
more frequent in the future, and that the
friends of public instruction will accept the
invitation of the principal and teachers and
visit the school room often.

We call attention of all classes of
people throughout the country, to the
advertisement of the st. Louis Times,
a daily, tri>weekly and weekly news
paper published at st. Louis, on terms
the most reasonable. We have been
receiving the daily edition Of the
Times in exchange for our weekly,
and we say without hesitation that we
regard 1t as our very best news ex-
charge outside of our own state. We
sometimes disagree individually with
the political positions assumed by the
Times, but it is proper to discuss these
matters, inasmuch as we hold that
national parties for the coming fght
are not yet,formed and moulded; bu
however much we may differ as t,
minor matters, we iuvariably find III
Times both able and honorable.

Gen. Il. s. Ewell, a lieutenant gen.,

county (rennessoe,) on the 18th ult.
A brave soldier. & true man; heroic,
honored and honorable, he will be
mourned by thousands throughout the
south who followed him on many hard
fought fields His last words arc said
to have been that he desired no in
scription on his tombstone which
would reflect in any way upon the
government Of the United States, His
memory will ever rest green in the
memory of those who knew him bUt
to love and respect him.

We regard the report of the COM
mittee in congress in favor of giving
Boles the seat which has been occupied
by Edwards, as equivalent to sus-
tanning the charges against Clayton.
The Senate may not oust Clayton or
find him guilty of the charges at all,
but the house committee has virtually
done so, and the effect upon impartial
minds will be the same.
