Tv le believed that the time has come in the progress
of American architecture, when the question will no
longer be asked, "What shill we: use for roofing I'
but, "Winne CAN we ovum van Saar SLATZ."--
Older countries have Vow :since established the /het
that no material is so well adapted, and so durable, as
Slate for 'covering buildings. Two obstacles to its
general use to tills country have existed heretofore
first, the transition character of society, which Is
necessarily opposed to permanence in architc4ture:
and sewed, the great abundance and low price of bun
ber. The first impedinient is rapidly yielding to tun ,
and riper ideas on the subject:if binding. and the oth
er must soon giveaway to the scarcity and advancing
price of lumber suitable for sooting purposes.
We submit a few leading advantages of a Slate roott
It is superior to every other in appearance;
It Is easily put on.

ROCHESTER. PA.
It is lire proof.

The Twin City Slate Company's Mines are in North
ampton County,:Penn'a. The Slate - is a beautifn
dark blue, unchangeable in color, splits in perfectl
smooth plates of any size required, and hardens stead
ily by exposure to the atmosphere. No slate• in tilt
United States le superior to it,in all the qualities essen
dal to a good roof. and we think but little equal to it
t is fainlshed at the yard in Pittsburgh, at the rate of
'12.00 a square tone hundred square feet), which with
expense of laying, will add about 25 per cent. to the
cost of a shingle roof at present prices.

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

measure depend upon annuli atuicate in the

Let It be borne in "mind, {that the cowardly

This movement 'drew the secluded one
from his hiding place, and he came forth
with all the courage of him who, in a conflict
with his wife, being driven under the bed,
remaining thus ensconced, declared
that whether she consented or not, he would
look out through a knothole in the clapboards
so long as be had the spirit of a man. '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.
