The greatest sensation of the day In
these streets was the extraordinary
crowd that gathered at the Baltimore
aud Potomac depot to greet Gen. Han
cock. He was expected by the limited
train from New York which arrives
here at four o'clock i'm the afternoon.
The crowd began to gradually form in
Sixth street as early 40 3 o'clock. BY
the street was filled and tile expect
ant and enthusiastic crowd up into
Pennsylvania avenne. across car lines
and In front of the National Hotel, ex-
tending up the avenue to Seventh
street. From $4,000 TO 10000 people
were gathered there in \ mass of hu-
manity SO dense AS to block all travel
for time, save OH the street-car tracks,
which were kept clear only by dint of
hard work on the part Of the police.
The number of ladies In this immense
gathering was somewhat remarkable.
Some of them stood there for four hours
mel ely to catch one glimpse of the IA
nous General. Perhaps no crowd ever
waited more patiently and persistently
to see man who had been defeated for
the Presidency, and who had nothing
wherewith to reward them for their
cOnSluerS ton.

Compulsory scnool Attendance

Ed. Register-
believe it is generally admitted by
the enlightened minds Of Europe and
America that love of information and
desire for knowledge are among the
dominant characteristics Of the people
of this republic. Ibeieve that all we'll
informed persons acknowledge that
there exists among the $4,000, 600 OF
people who now inhabit these United
States more general intelligence, more
correct judgment, on the affairs of life.
aud greater uniformity Of language
than can be found in the same popula-
ton of any part of the globe.
Now, 1 would ask whether these dis
tinctive peculiarities have been attained
through compulsory school laws? Have
they not rather been the natural result
of q strong desire for advancement by
free energetic and prosperous people?
These questions have been called
forth by reading a dispatch from JEFF
ferson City to the st. Louis Republican,
In which it is stated that bill has been
favorably reported by the Committee
on Education in the House of Represen-
tatives. Said bill 1861 would compel
the attendance at school of ali children
betveen the ages nf eight and sixteen,
under penalties.
Mr. Editor, ask, Is not this an insult
to the intelligence of the American peo-
pie? Is it not an imputation on their
worthiness Of liberty and their ability
to look after themselves? Is it not
slur ON the character of the great Re-
public Of republics" that In fhis day,
more than century after winning t'eir
freedom from the trammels end COM
pulsory usages of the European fright
divine" governors, any body of patriot
10 men should be called on to declare 1t
necessary to follow the example of mill
itary-mnk king Prussia or the Hodge rul-
ing laws of braggadocia Britain?

ng citizens, and begun now era BY
the foundation OF new world
Of intelligence, tolerance and integrity.
it bellies their character to decree that
they shall send their children to such
schools or such churches az shall be
to them by authority!
It may be contended that the system
is carried out in New York and other
large cities; but some people think New
York and other large cities are apeing
too much, in funky spirit, the ways of
and Berlin, and that we should
not encourage the Future Great" city

Apart from these objections 10 this
more serious reason, that it would be
an Infringement on the constitutional
right Of the citizen to the pursuit Of
Happiness In his own peculiar way Of
he interfsrsd not with the rights Of 9TH
ers. And 1t might be- used ~ an enter
ing wedge for undermining his liberty
Of conscience. The power that declares
that "your children shall 60 to our
school for their temporal benefit" may
undertake to decree that "your children
shall go to our church for the god Of

But, indeed, opine. sir, that even II

backed by all the pedagogues and petit
foggers of"St. Louee," It would prove.
in the end, to be set of imitation
blockheads; aud would live to learn
that the sturdy farmers Of Missouri
may not be "dragooned" into sending
