The FILL term Of our public schools

Fur over one year it bss been our
lot TO have the Superiutendency, to
sore extent, of the public school
interests of this new town; and du-
ring this brief interval, We have
watched the progress, aud success Of
the schools with, We think. quite IS
much interest rs it is usual for teach
ers 10 take. We have had plenty to
do. Our schools have been full a.
though not to say "oVerly crowded
as some have been disposed to coz
lecture. II is true, We have had
cucugb. but little room. indeed Tor
any m re. But from the success of
the classes aud the familiarity Of
many of the pupils With their studies,
As eviuced 10 three days careful sx-
limitations, We very readily infer
that the teachers have not been want

After careful consideration Of
The subject, We arc inclined to think
hat the progress Of our free schools
10 Huntington has been attended
with results quite as gratifying as
the average Of those in other States,
where the system has bad full sway
for a series Of years; and We do no,
assert this either to eulogiEe, to any

GUYANDoTTE, w. VA, Sept 22.-Hav-

respondent of late, 1 Shall presume, in an
imperfect manner, to supply the deficit
in your columns this week.
Our entRrprising citizen, John W. Bon

wheel steamer, which, when done, will no
doubt compare favora bly, vi tn any work
of It's class done at more noted ship yards
This boat is being built for Mr.. Kountz, a
gentleman not unknown in this section

steam boatman. and when done, is de
signed, | believe, for the cotton trade, in
the South.
The river has been lower at this point
this Fall than for many previous seasons;
in fact, the lightest dranght steamers have
been finding great difficulty in getting
through the narrow, shallow channel
Within the last twenty-four honrs, how
ever, there has been rise Of ten or twelve
inches, and il is to be hoped that naviga-
ton bv larger and more comfortable boats
will soon be r,stmed. Meanwhile, Col.
VIM. Smith Of the Gravity House, bids de-
fiance to nusances such as the Ohio Riv-
err, and, with his superb Hack, is affording
all who are DESTROYS ot visiting the City OF

The most Of our merct ants have, for
the time being, suspended all other bust

of the squirrels which have been playing
such havoc with the corn fields in the Vi

down by our sportsmen, and as the mar

With squirrel, it is thought some people
Will soon commence canning them. Can
you give your readers good recipe for
putting them up?
Although we had a fine rain last SatuT-
day night, | have heard il remarked by
many farmers since, that it came too late
to save the potato crops, which the late
drought is said to have cooked in more
than one sense. Whilst the drought in
the Spriag was utterly destructive TO early
y tatoes, il was found that it did not af-
feet the late varieties, and, until recently,
il was thought there would lie an album
dant yield. but your correspondent has
been c,nversing lately with some of the
most extensive farmers and potato raisers
in the country, and they all concur in the
opinion that there will not be more than
half a crop. This failure is not sectional,
but is said to lie general, throughout the
potato growing regions.
There is very little talk here concern

CoGrEcr,oN--The Hall organ Of
this city made statement last week
which requires correction. 1t says
Yesterday morning, Frank Here
ford attacked ChaS. b. Webb of the
Charleston Chronicle &C. Mr. Here
lord did not atttct him, except with
his tongue; he demanded why he
published fal>e}ood about him in

assertion was in Il correspondence.
NJ. Hereford told him he WIS re-
s?on~iole il he published statements
tina. lie knew to be false whether they
were written by him or his cores
pondents. The article in the Com-
mcrciai is calculated to convey the
impression, that SIR Hereford assaul;
;ed Mr.. Webb which is not the case.
lfElitors publish what they know
to be false in relation to ether gentle
men, even il they are members of
Congress, they must expect to be cal .

from Rev. b. Cade, Agent Of the

This school was started under great

At the time the panic came last

one of the contractors failed many

in aid of it were unable 10 P Y, ard

after working hard in every part OF

in it, they have Five thousand Dol
lars in the Treasury, and subscriptions
to the amount of S3, 800 more.
The building is being pushed rap
idlv forward, and will he under root
in about ! weeks.
As soon as the school is opened, If

THAT TwrTCBER SPEECH. The
matter is of very little consequence,
but we do not intend to allow false
accusations against the Democrats OF
this city to be put forth without con-
tradicting them. The Hall organ,

to break up the meeting by repeated
cries for Walker

those present were true Democrats,
who will vote for Hereford, bat there
never was more orderly or respect
ful meeting. 1t was not until, MIR.
Witcher took his seat, that nearly
the whole crowd united i'll a c"y for
Walker. Mr.. Walker declined to
speak, and the brave words Of the
Editor of the Hall Organ that Mr.
Halls friends will not submit to any
disturbance. are entirely gratuitous {;
il the Democrats present could have
so far forgotten propriety as to have
taken possession Of the Hall after 1t
had been hired for another purpose.
"Mr Halls friends would have sub
mitted or done worse.
Ii Mr.. Halls friends are satisfi-
ed with the results of that meeting,
Mr. Hereford and his friends certain
Is are, so all are pleased.
Mr.. Hereford rested very quietly
in TIE grasp Of the "s''jiliN' ;""to-
mist and didn't writhc worth a
cent.
The threat ofpubi.shing names Is
very thin. 1t would be quite an ca
sv matter TO publish the names of
those who did not cali for Walker.
but to give the names OF those who
drd would require list of nearly all
