STRAsBuRa, June 18th 1877.


We notice an
article in your Issue of 18th signed
X. l. NJ. in which it Is stated, that our
school in its present state ofexcellency
has been raised from a dark gloomy
and efficient state by the Profs.
McInturff, and to them all praise is
due. We would like to correct this
error, from the fact that the teachers
who had possession Of the Graded
School from its infancy, and who took
pride in its prosperity and raised it
from its former condition, have been
misrepresented in their strong efforts
and successfulness. 1t is certainly no
advantage to our school, or its
teachers, to overrate it or to make
untrue comparisons, or mistate facts.
We have no doubt, that there are
other schools in the Valley as good in
every respect as ours and probably
some of them better. Tho it is true,
that our worthy county superintenS
dant reported our school, when con-
Quoted by J. Pirkey, before meeting
of 60 or 70 excellent teachers. at the
Teachers Institute, 10 Woodstock,
four years ago, as having the largest
No. of pupils enrolled and the largest
per. centage of attendance of any in
the county. Under him l6S pupils had
been enrolled, and az increase is now
shown of 2 per year, making 8
scholars in four years and the No.
now reported is 176, thus showing a
steady growth of the school, under
the present worthy teachers, Messrs.
Hottie, McInturffs and Miss Barr The
writer of the notice referred to above,
We suppose to be a stranger to the
history of our school and its former
merits, from the misstatements of facts;
and novice, judging from the poor
ness of the composition and the want
of grammatical accuracy in the
notice. Believing however that the
writer intended good, we will join
in saying that our school is worthy of
high commentator and hope We may
secure the services of the present
faculty another year Q.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 1,,-A dis
patch received to-day from Lieut.,
Wilkinson, now at Wallula, conveys
the startling news of an uprising OF
Indians, and states that they were
numbering whites at Mt. Idaho, which
is situated 60 miles from Lewiston.
He asks to have boat dispatched at
once from Walla- Walla to convey
soldiers to Lewiston. The order has
been complied with, and all available
troops at Walla-W alla will be dis
patched at one to the scene of the
difficulty, Another dispatch says
several settlers living on Cottonwood
creek have massacred by Indians, and
the messenger who brought the in'
telligence to La Plvai was entrapped
and wounded by the savages. Gen.
Howard, who is beyond Walla Walla.
has just telegraphed to Adjutant Gen.
Wood. in this city, to forward all the
available troops without delay to the
scene of the trouble. Great excite
ment prevails. It's, however, thought
the reports have been exaggerated.

Shall We have War =!

The effort to involve the country in
war with Mexico is one of the schemes
calculated to assist the radicals in
holding on to power and to aid those
who have lived by plundering the
government and deceiving the pc ople.
A war with Mexico will give our
Northern friends who have been
desolating the South another glorious
opportunity of exercising their selfish
patriotism. Fat contracts will ems
rich the manufacturers at home, while
those who have heretofore carried the
carpet bag from the Potomac to the
Rio Grande can once more distinguish
themselves by stepping across the
border and organizing territorial
governments in rear ofan advancing
army. The president has already
exceeded his constitutional authority
in issuing an order to cross into Mex
lean territory in pursuit of bandits.
When it is well known that for hun
dreds Of miles the country is infested
by organized bands of American and
Mexican robbers, who have no hesi-
fancy in ste aling from the citizens of
either nation, and to whom an invasion
would oford the opportunity of steal
ing government houses to their full
satisfaction and of supplying the gov
eminent at any price demanded, we
can readily see what class of people
will be most beniftted by the inauger-
alton of this war.
1t may attract public attention from
the fraudulent position of the presi-
dent, in exercising the duties of an
Office to which he has no Just title.
but great will be his responsibility.
should he voluntarily become the ms
trument of plunging the country into
an unnecessary and unjust war 1t
may give us short season of appar-
ent prosperity to be followed by a
reaction in the form of a monetary
stringency accompanied by increased
taxation. War is to be avoided as
long as possible. A wise administra-
ton of public affairs will relieve the
nation of the necessity of engaging in
struggle, the result of which what
ever it may be cannot possibly COM
pensate for the loss sustained.
