In a hasty examination of the work we have observ ed a few omissions. *or example, " Logging" is de. fined u " the business of felling trees and preparing timber for transportation." In this part'of tho coun try, "logging" is rolling logs together into heaps to be burned, in the process of "clearing" woodlands: " Mammy" is thus defined: " The term of endear: meat used by white children to their negro nurses and to old -rangy Parvenu." That definition is no doubt correct, So the South ; but there are mans tamilioe in the country invrideli fulter: and mother are called " daddy's:ld warmly."

"To raise" in the sense of "to cause to grow," as "to raise a crop of corn," is classed as an Americanism; but the'expressions, " to grow a crop," " to mat a crop ,";common at the South, are not mentioned.— But, we repeat, such omissions are unavoidable. ar 7%e Sch.-id:fie 4mfr;ron.

T., amine to trouble them exceedingly, and well It may. Ole It is a faithful exposition or true Republican principles, and contains some wholesome trulbsprhichrOourse fall discordantly on Democratic care. In the! afore mentioned speech, Mr. Greeley took occasion to re. mark that, "although the slavery question wild set tied in Kani as, yet the main question was hot Settled, nor would it be.until all the States were fien." lie also said " that the conilict would, go on until di pen- eiraod the heart of the cotton States." 'To this language, the Democratic press take exception, and declare that the chosen policy of the ReOubliCan par ty, as manifested in Mr. Greeley's Kansas speech, is an attack upon the rights and property of thti This assertion is utterly and unqualifiedly &hie: and doubtless had its origin in the mind of some hair brained politician, who, perhaps, is as con'rersant with the facts of the case as a Nee Islander, and whose love of truth might. compare favorably. with that of the aforesaid dtaigentletnen. It is neither the puipose nor the policy of the Re pukticamparty to encrirach upon, or to interferi with, the tights and property of the South; and no mea sures that hare originated in the Republican "ranks, pr that hare proceeded from any reliable seitiree, can possibly be construed to convey any such hien as is contained in this Democratic falsehood. On the con trary, the Northern Stater, in which the ItePublican party is the dominant party, entertain the nn st kind ly feelings of consanguinity and btotherly .cenaidera• tion towards their brethren south of Mason and pis on's line. True, the institution of Slavery is obnosioits to a majority of the Northern - people ; yet- while the; Care strenuously endeavoring to put a stop to the erten sciM of Slavery, Ind while they are hoping that if re stricted to its present limits, it will eventually die out of itsel4 they are still unwilling to encroach; in the slightest degree, upon the constitutional rights of the South. This is unquestionably the prevailing Re publican sentiment. A movement is even 'now - on the tapis to the. end that the ensuing National klepulr -Lein Convention - may be held in one of the oldest Slave States, the tier/erg from which-so many Of the African race are sent to the (AUerne South. The movement is Highly proper, as It will show conblu- sively that no feelings of bitter hatred and antagon ism arc entertained by the Nortb Jowanla their Southern brethren. "Nothing could be better cal culated to remove unfounded and deeply rooted prej- udice, and convince alma& men of the South that, so far from — being their enemies, we are in spirit and in truth their very best friends, determined to treat them like brothers, 11 ith all the Viendshili of our Revolutionary Fathers." Republicanism does not tend to the dissolution of the Union ; it is lased upon a broad and compre hensive platform, and Lea for its object the best in &made of the country. The organs of the Bogus Democracy may harp about "Rationalism," disunionism," " brutal awl bloody manifestoes ;" Mu they have not succeeded, nor will they succeed in annihilating those. atriums rinciples of Republicanism which aro to aide sprea and so well calculated to win the confidence and sup port of true patriots who desiie to adviutee the best tote to of our common country Mr. Greeley said "that the Slavery. question wo'd not be settled until it had penetrated the heart of the Slave States, and until all the States were free." We shall endeavorto prove conclusively and briefly that this assertion is entirely correct, and that it h based upon sound reasoning and s correct judgment. The institutionpf Silvery is perhaps the most hide. mu and black-hearted system of tyranny and oppres sion with which the world was ever cursed. Al the march of civilization continues, so will this wide spread antagonism to Slavery, continue. Civilization will expand and eventually extend 'pelf through the habitable globe. Slavery being a relic of barbarism anirantagonistic to civilization, must of necessity fi nally be blotted from the face of the earth. During the berhalf century Slavery has been abol ished by nearly all the most powerful, as well as many of the weaker nations of the earth. This pe riod has been noted for the advancement of civiliza tion, and of 'the-Arts and Sciences, and general -re finement ; and while this improvement - is gradually but purely progressing towards a condition of human advancement of which we can acardely form an &de -1 moue idea, so will the opposition to Slavery progress until that " sum of all villainies," that arft/cring curse shalrbe removed from our midst, and eat country shall shine forth, preeminently, as a land where Civil and Religious Liberty may be enjoyed ..to- its fullest extent, by all claases and conditions of men. t: er vend! we exclaim with the sacred poet, "Fly swifter round, ye wheels of time, And bring the expected day." Mr,:Greeley is not a sectional politician, neither does he wish to dissolve the Union on account of Slavery: nor dues the Republican party entertain such an idea, the unmitigated falsehoods of the fnin joneof James Buchanan to the contrary notwitir standing.

For the fruirpeadent Rerib'jean. Teachers. Ma. Prres Pins Dear Sir :—Your first com munication on the subject of " Teachers" was very generally understood to be an attack on the County Superintendent., This impression may have. been somewhat modified by the tone of your insi s ter° let- ters ; but whether your articles ate Mateniderstood as reflecting your own opinion', Originating In a mis. apprcheesion of the real character of a teacher's cer tificate, or as an cifort to prejudice the public by a specious misstatement of the suldect, is still a matter of some doubt. Perhaps, howeverilt wiltuot befits out of the way to treat them as advanced with sinis ter intent; and should that be wronging you, you can pardon me the more easily for assuming too much, as sou have sometimes done the same thing. yourself. You mist be aware that your Incognito gives you the power of assailing with impunity the actions of another ; while, it he accepts the gauntlet yeti offer, he cannot give -blow for blow, but must ho content to ward oil, only, those directed at himself by your 'un seen hand. Mr. Tewksbury has, then,: , shown goo taste in refusing to answer your articles; and in per sisting in that comae, despite yourattempts to goad him into an explanation of those " burning shames," of which you speak so feelingly. It would seem, that your prdper course In aliening a controversy with a public man would have been to f. whims hint under your own siguamie; when he would doubtless have felt called upon to give that." easy explanation" of which you so coaxingly speak; or he might, per haps, have been won with that enticing Insinuation of want of time ; or, at least, by the friendly assev erations with which you have judiciously alternated your attacks. I see that you are possessed.with the idea that Mr. Tewksbury has answers' your letter through You flatter yourself by far too much, for he has not replied to you at all, and had no knowledge of my intentions. The sharp edge of your remarlfs about the " nest friend" evaporates with the hypothesis on which they were based: That you "had someway conceived" an "errone ous idea," Is evident ;...but not equally' m evident that . " this abeurd-notiOn" has not givettplaep to another equally ridiculous. You have riotlearned 'from the Superintendent's last report that a No. 1. certificate means simply "qualified," No. 2 means "medium," .t.c..; for that report make 4 no mention. whatever' 01 certificates. • You firms probably been misled by the general classification of teachers Into three ' , grades " qualified," " medium," and "unfit,' which has been adopted as moat convenient by - all the Superintend., ents hi' their annual rel:OrM. Yoii - also'seem to be afflicted with the notion that it certificate must be Of one grade throughout ; utterly lasing "sight of the fact that one certificate Mar embrace 101 l the. fir grades; e. g., a certificate may 'lndicate that .!the' holder is No. I it; Orthography, NO. 2 in Reading, and so, on." Now a certificate lilte this; taken as a whole, might rank the bolder in the grade of "me dium" teachers; while if the marks - Indicated gener ally good scholarship, he would probably add one to' the number of " qualified" teachers in the annual re port. But yqu was witty over the ineoruprehelas s ibility of fifth-grade teachers, and inform us, in sour tone of delicate Ammon, that you are totally at a lass to find adjectives to express their precise qualifications! I sympathise with you In your mortification at finding your vocabulary thus deficient; and, in order to ad minister as effectlial consolation as passible; in_tht; premiss, recommend you to call on some practical teacher, and request the privilege °restraining for yourself that, to you, apparently, mythical document, a Teacher's Certificate. On scrutiny i you will detect near the bottom something to the effect that No. fr. means " very poor." Your delight , at this discovery will doubtless be unbounded, and, joined to what oh. er information your sagacity will enable you to gath er, I am constrained to hope, will serve to sari' up as far as you inform us you were " taken down" aforetime: itseems to me that the reason better teachers are not employed in our achoob, is Obrious•=the insuffi ciency of the compensation. Money, at the present day, is the minfraem tenure. It is an absolute 'ne cessity. All are obliged t direct their attention to its acquisition, for it is indespensablo to the success ful prosecution of any business in life. 'However, much may be said of the—insane pursuit of wealth,' the motives which prompt ail to move toward the golden goal, are as irresistible as they are various,-,- It is alike useful to the sensualistand the philanthro pist, the sordid and the benevolent. In the view of these facts, is it to be wondered at that every one la- bon, with an eye to the recompense of the reward?' Li it strange that the Liminess which pays the best should command the services of the greatest amount of talent, and that the educated and intelligent sbo'd seek those professions Where the compensation is the best and the autel.t ? When teaching brings the 'wine reward as the mercantile,. medical, and legal professions, it will take the same rank, and secure the services of the same degree of talent; but not till then. The idea of any permanent good resulting to the; common schools from Institutes, Normal Schools, km, without an Increas of compensation to eorrespcmd with that of intelligence, is altogether Utopian. You may educatelivehuodred teachers np to dm proper standard, and thef will go on to the law, or some other profealon, and leave you to try the same plan with vs many more ; but make 'Libels interest to devote their energies to the...liaise of edu cation, and they will qualify themselves for it.. T'he' reason that no more firstehms taebers are lbund in our - schoole is, therefore, bemuse them are no mole who are willing to teach at the present rates of-men- . venation. ' Yours, truly, Y. 1. .

We are not now speaking of his higher qualities as a General, but simply of his brilliant valor aria soldier. Ile has displayed conspicuous courage in the presence of the enemy. Con sidering his position, and the evils which would be entailed on his country were he to meet with a soldier's death. in the field, he may be said to have pushed courage to the verge-of rashness. An excess of valor is, however, a fault which men readily pardon, the more especially when a king is the hero, As to the fact there can be no doubt—the three _armies - contain .no -braver man than Victor Emmanuel, King of Sardinia. The, two Emperors whb arc his-competitors in the race for military glory - must approve themselves stout and true soldiers if they would not see the palm of superior valor awarded to the Sardinian King. Wherever die fight is thickest and the fire hottest, there Victor Emmanuel is to be,found. On Tues. dap-at the battle of Maestro, he pushed for ward in person into.,the midst of the combat ants, and would not be persuaded-to retire into a safer position. The Zouave soldiers —no incompetent Judges of military daring —ebdeavored in vain, to restrain him, he wonkrnot-understand the . propriety of re treat.

Among the plaintiff's averments was One .that the trusteeship under which the Company holdi was void, because the building was erected for the purpose of being used partly for ido worship. The Supreme Court. says: " Ther is no force in the objection, that a trust, cre ated for the purpose of idol worship, is void. Under oar Constitution, all mec are permit ted the tree exercise of their religious opin= ion, provided it does not involve the com mission of a public offence; nor can env dis tinction be made in law between the thris tiar.^or Jew, Mahommedan or Heathen.
