' No such utisiake Williminide this iviii.. , . I= No instruction or advice further than has already been given,ls deemed necessary in' re ference to the managment of the Instkutes for the proient year. For such Instruction and advice the school officers interested are re spectfully • referred - to. the number., of the Journal for August,-18G7, and for February of the present year. It may not be amiss, however, to say that n order to make an Institute-in the highest degree successful, there must be 'employed for the whole time of its session at least two ex perieneed Institute instructors. In no other way can that regular, systematic instruction which the teachers most 'need be impartal.— Interesting essays may be read at alt Institute, eloquent lectures may be delivered, able dis cussions may take plade, fine musici may will— yen the occasion, and little that is" practically valuable in the work of teaching find a lodg ment in the minds of the teacherslin attend ance. All these may be well enough, but what the teachers most wed is to Ibq taught , taught hi regular, connected lessons; and this cannot be done except lty well qualified in structors. We cannot expect tee increase largely, if' at all, the aggregate' number of teachers in attendance, though sonde counties will do much butter, but there is great room for improvement in the method of Imparting instruction. The attention of the various Boaida of Di rectors throughout the State, Is wilted to a stilt; gestlon in reference to Teachers' saiaries. • Yeachcrsought 10-in paid according to their - gualijkationr. . The fact is, hover , pgeeni k ikninroft. no attention is paid to qualifications in fixing salaries. It is held that this practice is wrong l'or the following reasons: Ist. It is unjust to qualified We l chers. In all kinds of business except teaching, men are paid according to the amount of work they perform, and their skill in performing it. An apprentice to one of the mechanics arts, does' not expect in receive as mach wages as'ltn.ac complished workman. Neither ought it to be expected that a teacher who hokis a Frovisior.- al Certificate should receive-the same sale ry as one who has won a Professional or Pcrine- Went I 2d. It discouragesefforts for iinprovement . , As things are now, a teacher may leave any one of fifteen hundred districts in Pennsylva nia, attend, at considerable expensckind acme inconvenience, a Normal Institute or a Nor- I mai School, and after a year or two years spent in qualifying himself for his duties, re turn to the same district and receive no high. er salary than those who remained lat home and made no improvement. This practice is a clog upon progress in school affairs. It keeps those k at home who ought to attend I school. It tends to discourage the reading of 1 educational journals and books on 'teaching. It allows to ignorance, Idleness and incompe tency, the same reward as is allotted to intel ligence, industry and skill, and thus stands in the way of all improvement. It may be objected that the public money of a district should be divided equally among the schools, which would not in. general be the case if the teachers were paid according qualifications. There may be some force in this objectiln, but surely not sufficient to jus tify the injustice now done to teachers, and the stumbling block now thrown in the path of educational progress by-pursuing, a differ eat policy. Besides, in the course of a few Aiwa the amounts received by the different schools of a district would in any event be equalized, either by placing good teachers in all the schools or by making changes in locat ing good teachers. If . the policy now recommended be adopt ed, it is advised that directors estimate the qualifications of teachers according to the fol lowing method : Add together all the figures on the certificates set opposite the names of the several branches of study, and divide the' sum by the number of branches ; then take the number so obtained and add it to the num ber marked on the certificates for the Practice of Teachmg,and diiide this sum by two, and let the result mark, the standingef the teach ers, according to which their salaries may be graded. If this course be adopted, directors can agree to pay teachers holding Permanent gr . Professional Certificates, a certain sum per month, those who obtain Nos.' 1,2, 8,4, ac cording to the method herein indiCated, lain other leas amounts per month . The pay meats made during a ter* Can be made on AP - count, and as the exact salarytan only be de teimined:Bt the end of a . term and will in' a measure depend upon annuli atuicate in the schoolroom, there will be a constant stimulus to the teacher to make *lvey titbit to Jarmo goal school.. • b now" Ittmintended'ii 'not s *ere Alieoiyi As Out bas beeß,!ultiptell. _many districts and-proved Itself_ right' by 'KS good fruits.

Grant resp3ns ible for the lives of Union soldiers slain by Democratic bullets, sped by Democratic hands, says: "Moro lives were lost before Gen. Grant assumed command of She trmies, through cowardly and incompetent manage ment on the McClellan principle, than were last, under him , Had that policy been pur sued; more lives would have in' the end be e n lost, than were lost under Gen., Grant, and still the struggle would have beenlruitless. Let It be borne in "mind, {that the cowardly principle of the Argus lost the country more lives, without any adequsie result, than were lost through,Gen. Grant's 'energetic and RUC. cessfill prosecution of the war. Hence, Gen. Grant saved the lives of j thousands of his countrymen, as well as saved, his country, too. And let it alio be remembered. that no lives at all would hSve been loit, if Democrats had not taken them." The Manchester Union tells a good story. In the nwthem part of Merrimack county a crowd of the unterrified I were sitting on a piazza the other day, when an old Araveler, ragged dirty, rusty, unshaved and unshorn, and evidently half-seas otter, strolled up to the piazza and stared vusitstly at the crowd, which began to ttly him with queationa Fi nally man said to him, i ltoulr a Seymour man, aren't you, old fellow?"

'Great and repeated laugter and applause.] He en tered the political canvass, and on the 213th of October, 1861, a few days_before the electiou made a speech, the burden of which was aii apology for the rebellion, and a condemna tion of; the Administration for having mete] out the rigor of martial law to those in arms against the Government. Though abound ing with flimsy dikguises andisopListical gen eralities, it contained one point worthy of not only notice but of the severest reprehen sion:and here it is i "If 'this is true that slavery must be abol ished to save this Union, then the people of the South should be allowed to withdraw themselves from that Government which can not pre them the protection guaianteed by its terms." What I Place this glorious ,Union—this heritage of human hope- 7 thts asylum for the world's weary pilgrim—this refuge for the oppressed of the earth, in thd'scale of being beneath the black and b!oated and bloody— the corrupt and corrupting —the , etultified and stultifying institution of slavery ! No ! Sooner than see this Union severed let not only the institution perish whenever and wherever it can be found, but let the inhabi tants that have known it perish with it, and be known no more forever. [Continuous and long continued applause. "That's so."— "That's the talk." Three cheers.] And yet this returning fugitive from patriotism pro. claims as his creed, in effect if not in terms, that if either slavery or the Union must be destroyed, it should be the Union! And the name of this man is Horatio Seymour.— [Sensation.] It is reported that General James B: Steed man says that he shall support Grant and C Max. This is regarded as somewhat signifi cant, trom the fact that he is n warm per sonal friend ofJohnson, and was in the New- York Convention at the head of the Louisiana delegation.
