Jtev. Mr. McMillau spoke of the folly of making
every system of teaching come up to acertalu, detinue,
. and arbitrary standard. He guve some very good
b lilts as to the proj er method of teaching thechlldren
so as to Interest them IB their lessons. He considered
that picture teaching was one of the best and clearest
ways of getting the children's attention, and of Illus
trating the truth ot Scripture. He gave a rapid
- nkelcli of tbe 'manner In which be illustrated, bis
' teachings In tbe Sabbath School. -

Jtev. Saul ibe following:
HrvAvrd. As the sense of this Convention, that the
dutr and responsibility of teachers In Sunday schools
axe luauy teepwui analogous to Uiose ol a lululaiM
nl tbe Unsmr-t. and rartnknof their snlmn and holy
character) It Is therefore Incumbent on teichern to
roimlder that thev are co-woi kera with the m illi
ters of tire IiOrd Jesus Christ In training the
lambs ot Ohrlst's n ck. and that If th -y donot
prayerlully and dillgnnlly use the talems witn
which Ooi lias endowed them, and resort to all pro
per mvima to fit themselves, both lnt'llectually and
spiritually, for th Ir work In the Lord's vineyard, or
w ithoulUia Imnst Imperative ennse withdraw from
His service, they Incur a fearful responsibility, for
Which iWiey must be Hc oimmoie to tlod.
Jir-toltfit, 1 bat members of churches who are capn
le of tiecomlng teiwhem and refuse, do not by their
lefnsal exempt themselves from a like responsibility.
Mr. K. J. t'owell spoke of the dlllerent methods of
lrmtmollons. He divided tho life or a child Into dif
ferent stages, commencing at Us M' lb, and tracing up
lis life as 11 Incrcsses in intelligence and perception
mill i-niiceiitloii. When the ase of reason begins to
'(lu-wn, allliougb It 111 takes pleasure in conception
and in educaiion or the seiiHes, it nas a uiguer uegree
" Intelligence, and begins to Invesiigite causm and
Hw't. There Is what mav be called in a moral sense
he age of sympathy when tbe ehlld confides in faith,
the age of approbativeueNS when It seeks approbation
for lis good actlons.and corresponding In period with
the age of reason commences the period when con
science sways Its actions,
The President, at this Juncture, announced that
the Committee on Resolutions would meet In the
room adjacent to the pal pit. ) Mr. Cowell continued
his remarks, almding to the various customs ot the
people or ancient times, and spoke of the inconve
nience tbnt would arise If thev were carried out no.
These customs are interesting as a study, and will
Induce the children to search the Scriptures.
He also adverted to the mannerof the ancients
taking their meais. He spoke or the false impression
thai Is created by the ploture palmed by Raphael re
presenting ' The Last Supper ort'brlit." He said that
chairs were represented around the table, as we sit
upon at the present day, whereas the custom was not
to sit upon chairs but upon cushions.
Rev. A II red Taylor commenced by saying that the
great test tbould be "speakli g the truth In love." A
great deal of questioning of children does more barm
than good. The Question-Book Is very unsiulfuotory.
He quoted from the book some very abstruse and
abs'iact metaphysical questions that were calculated
to perplex even a mature mind.
He gave a laughable Illustration of the manner In
which some proles-ed teachers used large words to
(les' rlb a simple subject. Most or the questions In the
bonk are more like conundrums. He said that the
blackboard was luit recently Introduced, and that
when he first tooicThem into bis church two families
lett, because, as they said. It was like going to school.
Several mtthods of illustrating lessons upon the
blackboard were given, and be spoke ol tbe bad elTect
(if using It too much. He made reference to the late
Dr. Tyng, and said that In bis Sunday School of nine
hundred scholars be could come In and call every one
by name, and ask blin how bis or her father aud
mother was. without even stumbling on an orphan.
He Illustrated tbe-way in which lue minds ol tbe
scholars could be so trained tbnt they could find
readily a passage of Scripture, and gave a description
o I the nations that worshipped iiaal to Illustrate his
manner of teaching.
Jlecalled attention to a memorandum of several
passages, showing that God punishes sin, and also tbe
passages Illustrating other doctrines to show bow
readily children will learu to find passages lu Scrip
tures. Mr. Taylor's discourse throughout was of the most
stirring character, and was delivered In such a highly
lnleristlng manner and witb such aptness of Illustra
tion, that the Interest of the audience was most In
tense. His illustrations on the blackboard were very
lorcible, and were convincing of tbe power of this
method.
A resolution of thanks was tendered to Messrs.
Cowell and Tay.or for tbetr able addresses before tbe
Convention.
Rev. Dr. Cowell offered the following:
Hmolved. That this Convention has experienced pro
found gratification In the opportunity so courteously
afforded of uniting In the recent celebration of the

TLe iJreiaeni maae a stirring aonress, snowing
what should be done In the cause of educating little
children In the knowledge of Christ. He gave a strik
ing Illustration of the neglect that Is so apparent In
thecause.aHe gave an anecdote of the rescue ot a
man v bo was carried away on tbe Ice, and the whole
country was aroused, while thousands and hundreds
or tiiousanus or nine ennuren are in uanger or losing
their Immortal souls.
Mr. Hullng, ot Lycoming, spoke In behalf of the
Sunday Schools of his county.
M r. Matt hew Newklrk made a few remarks relal Ive
to the confusion ot returns that have been made from
the different counties.
Mr. D. R. Barker spoke In reference to the progress
of Sunday Schools la Merci r county.
On motion, the business before Die Convention was
postponed for the purpose of bearing the reports ol

. The following was read by Mr. Edwin nail:
Your Committee beg lenve to report that they have

lication of the admirable address on the duties of

jected to in order.
Considerable discussion took place In regard to the
technical working of the eighth resolution, and seve
ral substitutes and amendments were ollerad, all of
which, with the exception of one. were voted down.
The question then rrcurred on the oiigloal resolu
tion, w hich was adopted.
in reference to the resolution regarding tbe class
of Sunday r-chool books. Rev. Alfred Taylor gave an

and himself, and went off unhurt.

Tbe resolution was carried. Tt was moved and car
ried that the session be extended 11 f teen minutes, to

AK IMPORTANT AND HITHERTO UNPUBLISHED LET
TER THE PROGRAMME OP BBCESBION.
The Hartford Pre print the following; letter
from an original manuscript now lu that
oxtlce:
Warren County, Mlsn., Nov. lO-lRBO The
Hon. R. II. Kriett. Jr. Dear Sir: 1 had the
honor to receive, last night, yours of the 27th
wlto., and hasten to reply to the Inquiries pro
pounded. Reports of the election lenvo little
uonht that the event you anticipated has oc
curred, that electors have boenclioRen.soauring
tbe election of Jjlncolu, and I will answer on
that supposition.
My home Is so Isolated that I have had no In
tercourse with those who mlffht hnve aided me
In form Inn an opinion as to the ell'eot produced
onthemludof our people by tbe result ot the
recent election, nnu tne impressions which i
communicate are founded upon antecedent ex
pressions.
1. I tioubt not the Oov'r of Mlssl. h con
voked the, I,eil8latuie to assemble wilhlu the
present month, to decide upon the courso which
tne tstate ahoukl adopt In the present emergency.
Whether the Legislature will direct tbe otll of
a convention of the Si ate, or appoint delegates
to acouveutlou of anon Houtheru States as may
be wllllriK to consult together for the adoption
of a Southern plan of action, Is doubtful.
z. II a Convention oi tno state were assem
bled, the proposition to secede from the Uulou,
Independently of nu p port from neltchborluic
States, would probably fall.
a. li raoum unroll na suouta nrsi soceue. anu
she alone should take such action, tbe position i
of Mlssl, would probably be changed by that
iact. a powerful oosiacie to tne separate action
of Mlssl. la the want of a port, from which fol
lows tbe consequence that, ner trade being still
conducted through the pot ts of the Union, her
revenue would be diverted from her own sup
port to thatof a foreign Government, and being
geographically uncouneoted with South Caro
lina, an alliance with her would not vary that
stale of case, sic
4. The propriety of separate secession by So.
Ca. depends so much upon collateral questions
tbat 1 find It dilllcult to respond to your last
Inquiry for the want of knowledge wblch would
enable me to estimate the value of the elements
Involved In the Issue, though exterior to your
Slate. Georgia Is necessary to connect you wltu
Alabama, and thus to make effectual the co
operation of Mlssl. If Georgia would be lost by
immediate action, but could be trained by delay;
It seems clear to me that you should wait, if
the secession of So. Ca. should be followed by
an attempt to coerce her back Into the Union,
that act of usurpation, folly, and wickedness
would enlist every true Southern man for her
defense. If It were attempted to blockade her
ports and destroy her trade, a like result would
be produced, anu tne commercial wonu woum
probably be added to her allies. It Is therefore
probable that neither of these measures would
be adopted by any Administration, but that
Federal ships would be sent to collect the duties
on Imports outside of the bar, that the commer
cial nations would feel little interest In that.
&Du tne souinern states would nave nine power
to couDteraot it.
The nlantlniz States have a common Interest
of such magnitude that their union, sooner or
later, for the protection of that interest Is cer
tain, united tney will nave am pie. power for
their own protection, and their exports will
ruuke for them allies of all commercial and
xnannfaciarlDg powers.
The new States have a heterogeneous popula
tion, and will be slower and less unanimous
than those lu which there is less of the North
ern element In the body politic; but Interests
control i ne policy oi niates, anu nuauy an me
nlantltiK communities must reach the same
conclusion. My opinion Is, therefore, as it has
been, In favor of seeking to bring thoso States
Into co-operation before asking for a popular
decision upon a new policy and relation to the
nations ol tue sarin.
If So. Ca. should resolve to secede before that
co operation can be obtained, to go out leaving
ueoigia ana AiuDamu, j,ouisianu in tne union,
and without any reason to suppose they will
follow her: there appears to me to be no ad
vantage in waiting until the Govt, has passed
into Hostile uanos anu men nave Decome iami
llarlzed to that Injurious and offensive perver
sion of the General Government from the ends
for which It was established. I have written
with the freedom and carelessness of private
correspondence, and regret that I could not
give more precise iniorination. very respect
fully, yrs, etc., Jjcffk Davw.
JEFFERSON DAVIS' RELEASE.
From the Antl'Ulavery Standard of thlt week.
If the Government lets Davis go unpunished, then
Wlrzwas murdered. For one word that can bn saia
for Davis, a thousand can be urged for his fellow
crlminal. rovlu at large and Wlrz lu his grave prove
a cowardlynplrlt la the Administration, which wreaks
lis Blue spun on lue uiitserKoie woi, muu nutiu&o airuiu
froBi the look of the mailer.
Our concern Is uot wlih the Individual criminal.
With a wise plan ot reconstruction, we can alf.ird to
overlook a thousand Davlses: but the course ot tbe
Administration, in his case, throws llg-hl on our na
tional Bt! nation. Two or three tlilnss are evldeut.
If this Administration correctly represents the
American people, then treason is no crime, ana nevur
Deed fear any punishment from us.
'I be tendency of modern civilization Is to bea" pa
tiently the widest and suRrlest diffjrences of opinion,
and let party chiefs only turn each other out ot ofnee,
without sending tbe defeated rival as in JnglaLd In
Henry VIU's time and In Mexico to-dav to the scaf
fold. Still we are the first Uovernment to let actual
levying war against the State go unpunished. What
Bortol a future this course will make lor us Is hardly
matter of doubt. If. as many believe, and as all his
tory makes probable, we are sooner or later to have
another civil war, then party chiefs will make up their
minds what course to take aud wblch side to adopt,
without fear of risking life or property except ta the
eciuul fight. . . .
Again, uo amount of brutal and barbarous aggrava
tion ot the usual evils of war will barm any niuu wbo
orderB It. Mr. Davis knew of the threats and attempts
to burn Northern cities, poison Northern communi
ties; knew, at leant, o! oilers made and plots devised
to take the lite ol Presldeut Lincoln. lie never die
avowed or attempted to prevent any of them. When
a frenchman. In correspondence with CUarlei Jamej
vilt rr)ered to aHHasHlnata JS'aDOleon Kuirland then
at war wllb France Fox gave the Kmperor notice of
the plot. Davis allows tne uouieuerucy 10 swarm
wlih such and worse plotters. No word has been
heard Irom him rebuking the massacre of Fort Pil
low and Memphis. Belle lnle and LI buy Prison were
within Ins sight, aud Andersonvllle' existed by his
order. Quaulrell and kindred assassins were his
never rilsnVOWed.
rUssiTle to Buy that, except the English In India
and tbe French In Algiers, modern warfure cannot
show, for the iaai ceuiury, as muuu uiuiiiuaihi mm
ltlchmond ordered and tolerated In any one half year
Judged by the war record, Jefferson Davis Is the

plete. The object of the invention Is to pre
vent such explosions in coal mines as arise
through the miners unlocking their lamps.

OPERATION OP THE AMERICAN MWMIONARY ASSO
CIATIONS AND OTHER SOCIETIES AMONG TUB
NEGROES TRAINING SCHOOL FOR COLORKD
TEACHERS, ETC. ,
Fortress Monkob, May 29. The American
Missionary Association of Now York recently
purchased the Wood farm, or "Little Hoot laud, '
as it Is sometimes called, containing about 11
aeres of good farming land, situated ou tho
west side of Hampton Creek. The price paid
was Jltl.OIK). The Association design putting
Into operation by next full a training school
for colored teachers. lTiplls are to be received
from all parts of the country, aud admitted to
the school, and furnished wlih good accommo
dations and un excelleut education, to qualify
them to take their destined positions m life.
In tbe centre of this purchase there Is a largo
Naliotiul Cemetery, containing about five thou
snnd soldiers' graves, the farm having been,
during the war, covered wltb hospital build
ings, wherein the lives of ten thousand patients
were taken cure of. Should tne trainlug school
succeed, an attempt will bo made to establish
a first-class Normal School or Colored College,
which will be amply supported to render it
efficient and successful in accomplishing tbe
objects which led to its inception.
The entire colored school system whloh Is in
gcnerul use in this District of the Freed men's
Bureau, and more particularly ou the Peu in
sula, has been inaugurated by the different mis
sionary societies ol the North, aud the rapid
progress which has been made by the scholars
of nil ages, has induced these additional steps
to be taken towards a still further Improvement
and elevation of the race. The teachers of these
schools are sent out by the societies, and all the
expenses Incurred in building sehool-houseH
and providing for the education of the pupils,
are Instantly defrayed aud provided for by the
charities of the benevolent.
1 be school system is perfect, and the teachers,
who manifest a highly creditable zeal in the
discharge of their duties, belong' to the most
respectable classes of society many of them
coming from a distance to labor in shaping the
future career of tbe young negroes. General
Armstrong, Superintendent of the District, has
the supervision of the schools, and It is mainly
due to his energy and practical views that their
present success is attributable. The education
of the negro Is generally viewed by the people
of the country, with a rapidly improving
opinion, as the only wise course that can ever
elevate them from tho degradation to which
they had so long been subjected; and It is a
theme of congratulation that the predictions of
opposition ai d difficulty to be met with, have
disappeared as the work progresses.

The New York Tribune of this morning says.
'Mr. Secretary McCulloch's 'alter to the Boston
merchants promises to bucoip I famous as his Fort
Wayne speech. The latter o fuced every one that
he was koIuk to Inaugurate an era of lower prices,
and on tho strength of It all tlie smart mn ot Wall
street sold stocks atiorl. Instead ot rallinc, tlioy
rose 15jiiS per cent., and the Secretary's followers
were cleaned out. The Boston letter hits set all tlio
snorts to cover ana tne bulls- to buy. Let tlieiu
beware, lest the (secretary's performance lu tuls
rase should belle Ills promise, as It did In tbat.
Buyers lor a ris will likewise do well to remarubur
that, even should tbe (secretary suspend tor
tbe present tbe cancellation of ulala legal-tender,
be does uot promise Dot to cancel lbs i8,iMi,uu
of compound legal-tender wlilcli rum u re InJuusand

Autfuktand Beplember notes. Tbe banks will Ond

B?cretarv seems alralfl to eecule-d!roctlnsf a
SSu!hlye"ta"lme .oo,wio of legal-tenders.
But, after all.l be gist ot b BosWa letter may reside,
iU'ourVb BiTt'ipotliif that the failure of the crops
and Hit vU eirctuutauw auuad K would svl-
onsly affect business, I have ronsMerpf1 It Important
that the public mind should not be diverted, by (ne
criticism and complains of those who are opposed to
contraction, from the real causes of trouble; that a
sound policy sbould not be put In peril by bolnif made
the "scapegoat" for evils resulting from different
causes.'
"In other words, the Secretary deems a ravubflon
to Inevitable from other cause than tbe contraction
of tbe corrpricy, that be don't wish to make himself
even seemingly responsible for wbat he cannot avert.
There Is someshrewdness la this."
The New Tork llcra'd of this morning says:
"Secretary McCulloch Is Incurably wedded to his
financial theories. alllioinrh thev have proved lmnrao-
tlCHble, end be Is compelled to abandon them In prac
tice, lie not only does uot learn anything by expe
rience, but he becomes more confiiHfxl and Incapable.
Yet he never loses au opportunity to ventilate bis
Ci ode notions about our tiiiances and the currency,
liiu lHt tierformanre In this way is seen In a lotte 10
some cltispnt of Boston Id reply to an Invllatloe to
a complimentary publlo dinner tendered to him.
It will be remembered that the Secretary, In
his Kort Wayne speech, , and on other ooca
slons, spoke stronaly In favor or resumption
ol specie payments and a contraction of the currency
to bring that about at an early dav. In bis report to
Congress he recommended this policy , and that body,
acting upon his recommendation, passed anactautlio
risilng him to contraet Ibe currency by withdrawing
icsai tenders from circulation, lie used me autno-
rliy for a lime, and proceeded lu withdrawing the
iHiiouai currency rroiu cucuiaiion tin ue saw tou me
ellect was pi ov lug disastrous, In checking tbe ludustry
or the country and In reducing the income of the
Government. Now beconfes.es that he Is compelled
to suspend contraction, and is not withdrawing any
longer Ihe United ritateg notes from circulation. Still,
be talks about resumption aa pertinaciously aa
ever, notwithstanding this Inconsistency be
tween his theory ana practice. Me now thinks
curtailment of the circulating notes 'must be gov
erned by the condition of the country and ol tbe
Tr easury. Tbe condition of the country and of tlie
Treasury tells hi in he must not curtail tbe currency,
and his on-io-specle-payiuent theory Is scattered to
the winds. lie y lulus tlie point we have been con
tending for all along that contraction would' be
ruinous to the Indusiry, boslue, and revenueof the
country. Why, then, uooj Mr. McCulloch still persist
In misleading tbe public by talking Impracticable
nonsense T The argument be endeavgre to make la
tils Boston letter Is a piece of weak special pleading
to coier up hfs Inconsistency. It shows that he ta
unfit to manage tne finances of this great country,
especially at ibis critical time. lie says the majority
ol the members of Congress last wluter were
opposed to contraction, and therefore he does not
wish to place himself In opposition to them, lta
does Dot wish to produce a paulc In the commercial
cities, as there are anxious forebodings of financial
troubles, lie aamils that It would not be prudeut to
contract, as mere are larje amounts of Interest-bearing
notes to be paid aud converted within tbe present
and next fiscal year. Aud he iblokslus failure of tbe
crops and other circumstances may seriously affect
business, so tbal It Is 'Important Ihe publlo mind
should not be diverted, by tbe criticisms and com
plaints of those opposed to contraction, from the real
cause of trouble.' The last part of tbls argument Is
ambiguous; but It Is enough to know that he deems
any lurtber contraction unsafe. "
