SIGNIFICANCE OF sALUTEs.

The New York Journal of COM
naence gives, in reply TO a correspon-
dents, the following interesting in
formation concerning salutes by big
guns:
The national salute is determined
by the number of States composing
the Union, at the rate of one gun
for each State.
| The President and ex.Presidents
of the United States are alone emit
tied to receive salute of twenty-one
guns, except in the case Of visit
from a foreign sovereign, OF chief
magistrate of any foreign republic,
who shall be received with the same
honors prescribed for the Presid
The Vice President is entitled to
salute Of seventeen guns.
The heads Of the Executive De-
partment Of the National Govern
ment, Justices of the Supreme
Court, General commanding the
Army, the Admiral of the Navy,
and the Governors of States and
Territories, within their respective
Jurisdictions, are each entitled to
fifteen guns.
The Lieutenant General Of the
Army and the Vice Admiral of the
Navy also receive salute Of fifteen
guns.
A Major General and Rear Ad.
mirAl receive thirteen-gun salute,
and Brigadier General and Com

A congress of learned men is soon to
meet in New York. with the view Of
revising and reforming the spelling OF
the English language, reform which
has long been thought desirable, though
almost impracticable. It is prosposed to
have letter for every sound, and only
one sound to each letter, and to spell
every word a. it is pronounced, English
being derived from so many diff rent
languages, needs this change perhaps
more than any other. It is hardly prob
able, however, that much will be accom-
plished

it is found to be almost impossible to
execute compulsory laws in any of the
States In view Of these facts, and
many others which might be adduced, it
does not seem wise to enact compulsory
law in this State at the present time.
The time may come when such law
will be necessary, but we are not ready
for it yet. We need rather, first, better
facilities for education, in the matter Of
scbool-houses, apparatus, Textbooks, etc.
etc.; second, better methods Of instruc-
ton, by which learning may be made
attractive SO far as this is possible, and
at the same time thorough; third, better

EsEThere is considerable grumbling on

which will have to be raised this year, as
shown in the annual appropriation bill
passed by the council on Wednesday even
ing, and the people are beginning to
believe that THE ARGUS was about right
when it opposed the city purchasing the
Rock river bridget should have been
purchased by private company. The
Spring street sewer, however, is public
necessity; besides, it will give employment
to large number of laboring men who are
now out Of work. For both Of these jobs.
however, bonds will be issued, and the
money will not be raised by taxation this
year.

showed him copy of dispatch.
