Speaker COLFAX'S castof Committees
L generally satisfactory tithe members,
is favorably commented on by the press,
gives earnest of a laborious business
lion. •
Within the last week, a great many
bills have been introduced, and referred
to aPprOtiate committees.
The HorsE has already struck several
blows in the direction of Retrenchment
• —as tax,,payers will be glad to know. It
has 'linseed a resolution against the fur
ther equipping of vessels by the Navy
Department, and against the further pur
chase of Territory. The former is inten
ded as a check upon the extravagance of
Secretary ,WELLits, who has either not
yet realized that the Rebel cruisers have
been captured or destroyed, or supposes
that we are in imminent danger of a
European War. The latter was a gentle
reminder to Secretary SEWARD and the
Danish Government that the HOUSE
would not vote $7,500.000, at present, for
an island not now essential to our com
merce. A call was made upon the PRES
IDENT for a list of the Counterfeiters he
has pardoned, and for the STA.srrow cor
respondence, The HOUSE also voted to
discontinue a number of investigations
ordered at the March and. July meetings.
The financial question comes up in
great prominence ; and important legis
lation may be expected. The proposi
tions are various, and generally crude.—
The West are solidly against the present
policy of contraction, which is $4,000.000
per month; and there is every probab
ty that this power will be taken from the
Secretary of the Treasury. Money is very
tight and business prostrate in the great
centres of trade,and taxation fallsheavily
upon the people--circumstances which
will compel a re-adjustment of ourfinan
, cial policy. It is too early to speculate
upon thert.sult; but, it may be steed
that there is considerable dissatisfaction
with the present National Bank System
in that it is alleged to be too expensive
upon the Government and too , profitable
to the Ranks ; and there are many ad
' vocateaofthesulAtitution ofleeal-tend^r=
for the.present National hank ci rculation
The Democrats have not developed their
purpotkes on thin question, nor can an in
telligent opinion yet be formed of the re
suit of this agitation of opinion. But
is understood thattile Administration arp
in favor of maintaining the presentpoliey
of eoritrartion.
The debate on Impeachment will he
able, and exOiting. Opinion varies as to
the vote of the House. One interest
claims that a Majority of the Republienup
are adverse others insist that nearly 100
are thr It. We believe, this is largely
guess ',NAL; and that the course of the
debate will determihe the issue—a large
number of members being uncommitted.
The Republican press are nota unit, sev
eral of the more prominent—the Chicago
?Panne, Philadelphia Evening
and others, being manifestly hostile—
chiefly upon the ground that there is not
time - to try the case, that if it be attempt
ed nothing else will he done at this ses-
sion, and that, Ifotdever base and bad Mr.
Jon - moN may be, the country looks for
the relief of its burdened interests by li
beral and just legislation and will not be
satisfied with postponement.
On Monday. a large number of resoiu
lions were offered in the SENATE. and
HousE, beating on the Finances of the
country, 'National Banks and Internal
Revenue Taxes, all of which went over
or were referred to appropriate Commit
tees, without debate. There seemslo he
an indisposition to act on these topics,
until the Reports of the Secretary of fhe
Treasury and his subordinates have been
laid before the members—no as to embrace
in a general bill whatever policy may be
determined on, instead of patch-work
legislation on independent propositions
HORACE C4REELY, Of the N. Y. Tri
bune, has been confirmed by the IT. S.
Senate, Minister to Austria, vice MoT-
T,Ey (the eminent historian,) removed.
It will be recollected that Mr. MOTLEY,
taking umbrage at Secretary SEWARD'S
circular catechising our foreign minis
ters as to their support of JornrsoNls re
construction policy, sent Mr. SEWARD a
sharp reply, with a conditional resigna
tion. The President sent in a nomina
tion as MOTLEY'S successor, but the Sen
ate regarding SEwAnn's 'circular iniper
tinent, and MOTLEYS reply a fitting re
buke, declined to approve the nomina
tion, preferring that MOTLEY continue
at his post. Several successive nomina
tions meta similar fate, when, near the
close of last session,
,the President sent
in the. name of Mr.' GRICIELY, in hope
that his Position as a leading Re- üblican
would induce the Senate to yield is
ground. The' Senate, however, quietly
laid GREELY'S nomination on the table,
for the double purpose of pieventing fur
ther nominations and of continuing,Mr.
MOTLEY at his post. It has since trans
pired that Secretary SEWARD, in his de
termination to get rid of MOTLEY, sent
him a note, after the adjournment of the
Senate, requesting him to surrender the
mission at Vienna and immediately to
delivef ever all official papers thereto to
the See*ary of Legation—thus creating
a de.kzete vacaney,, in defiance of Con
gress. It also being rumored that the
President deSigned recalling Mr. GitEE-
Lr's nomination, to send in# new name
of hie moil stripe, the Senate, on meet
ing huit week, took the nomination from
the table and confirmed it. It is doubt
ful i tvfietheilitir. GREKLY will accept.
Since writing the above, we notice that
Mr. GREELY has published a card declar
ing his purpose not to accept. It is said
the-President will nominate Hon. S. S
Cox, *miserly of Ohio, now of New York,
to the'vactust Mission.

THE La Crosse Democrat, publ hed
in Wisconsin, by BRICK POMEROY, a
bold, outspoken defender of the *. •
bellion, and in its malignant assaults u
on all who had any agency in crushing
out the Rebellion, outstrips the Rich-
Richmond Enquirer and Charleston
Mercury in coarse of denunciation and
vulgarity of style. JEFF. DAVIS was a
gentleman .and a patriot—lark:ow; a
"baboon" and "skulking imbecile."
LER and the Rebel Generals generally
were heroes of the first water—while
GRANT is nothiqg but a "butcher," PHIL.
6HERIDA.N a "braggart" and "liar,"
and SHERMAN, SICKLES, POPE, SCHO
FIELD ,and THOMAS, but "military des
pots." As a specimen of the kind of
reading furnished by this paper, we give
the following, from a recent, number :
"Rebellion a crime ? Liar in your throat,
Phil. Sheridan. Every hour jutisties the acts
of those who from Bull Run to Richmond,
thinugh four years of battle and blood, *rift
ces and struggles, labored, suffered, fought,
died, for the cause of civil freedom. Every
passing day proved the soundness of their
judgment, the wisdom of those who strove for
independence. Every revolving year makes
the "lost cause" more sacred to the lovers'of
liberty, dearer to the hearts of those 'ho were
faithful to it from its inception to its temporary
fall."
And yet the Democrat Is fast becom
ing the most popular Democratic paper
in the North, daily extending its circu
lation among the unterrifled, and to-day
has a larger number of subscribers in
Adams county than any other paper of
that party, the Com Ydler excepted. It is
evident that disloyalty is as characteris
tic of the "Democratic' party to-day as
it was during the Wars The bitter spir
it of the Rebellion, which finds expres
sion in the Democrat;makes it a paying,
marketable' commodity in the '"Demo
cratic" ranks.
EVICHT stamp you put upon a deed, check
or mortgage, is a sticking plaster, to remind
you of a war brought on by Abolition agita
tion, and of the immense debt piled up by
shoddy thieves.—Dent. Exchange.
"EVERY stamp you put upon a deed,
.check or mortgage, is a sticking plaster
to remind you" of a Rebellion inaugura
ted by the Slave Power, waged by "Demo
cratic" traitors South, and encouraged by
"Democratic" sympathiZers North. Ev
ery gun fired in support of that Rebellion
was fired by a supporter of the "Demo
cratic" party. Every Union soldier killed
in battle or starved in Southern prison
pens, was murdered by sympathizers
with the "Democratic" party. Every
maimed and disabled Union soldier is a
monument of "Democratic" infidelity
and treason. Every stamp put upon deed,
check or mortgage, is a "sticking plas
ter" to remind you that every dollar of
the public debt, contracted in the strug
gle to suppress the Rebellion and save
the nation's life, is a "Democratic" debt,
created by "Democratic" agencies and
for which' , the "Democratic" party is
directly responsible.
A YEAR and a half ago, the Copper_
head papers were clamorous for the in
stant admission of the Rebel States ; and
the Republicans were denounced from
one end of the country to the other Die
unionists because they insisted upon some
guaranties being given. •
Now, when these Rebel 'States are re
organizing on the basis ofrloyalty andjus
tice and are likely to come back as Re
publican States, the Copperheads are re
solving that "no Senators, no Represen
tatives in Congress, no presidential Elec
tors, will ever ..be recognized who are
chosen by a franchise forced upon a State
by Congressional usurpation."
So, if Jormsow can create voters and
re-organize likteadr(the Rebel and Cop
perbead, interest, they should be at once
adMitted. But if the law-making power
should create voters and re-organize
States on a legal basis, they should be
kept out, without day I This is Copper
head reasoning, and policy.
Fortunately, its impotency is greater
ever than its malice. It "bites a

on the part of the President to organize
and recognise the civil State Governments ;
the denial of the right of Congress to control
the work of organization, and the exercise of
power and omission of duties in support of
this usurpation and denial; the wilful add un
constitutional assumption of power to suspend
the operations of the acts of Congeal, and
the corrupt, wilful and unconstitutional refu
sal to execute the laws; the unauthorized and
illegal surrender and sale of Government prop
erty, and the fraudulent breach of the public
trust, wherein the action of the President in
relation to the Southern railroads la detailed
at length, and much evidence irk given relative
to the sale and surrender of railroads and roll
ing stock, and other property in which it is
shown that all this property was turned over
against the advice of the Secretary of War
and Quartermaster General. It is also shown
that the President extended the time for ..the
payment of installments of principal and in
terest on the railroads purchased by the rebel
companies. The evidence further shows that
these railroadf companies had a sufficient
amount of money on deposit to meet their in
debtedness. 13y this connection with the
Southern roads, it showed that he realized a
profit of over eighteen thousand dollars.
The other grounds of impeachment are the
,prrapt and unconstitutional abuse of the veto
power; the abuse of the pardoning power:
the surrender of property to rebels ; the disre
gard of the right of the property of refugees
and freedmen, and of the United States, and
the unconstitutional and corrupt exercise of
the appointing power. Under the latter head,
a vast amount of testimony has beat taken re
lative to the suspension and appointing of civ
il officers, and the cause therefor, in direct
violation of the law,
Messrs. WILSON and WOODERIDGE,
(Republican) submitted a counter report,
in which they condemn the President as
guilty of many wrongs—say that he has
disappointed the hopes and expectations
of those who placed him in power ; that
he has betrayed their sonfidenee and
joined hands with their enemies; that
he has proved false to the express and
implied conditions which underlie his
elevation to power, and in this view of
the ease deserves the censure and Con
demnation of every well disposed citizen
of the Republic. But they declare never
theless that the case exhibited by the tes
timony and measured by the law does
not present such high cr . lides and mis•
demeanors yithin the:isseaning of the
Constitution as requires the interposition
of the Constitutional , poWer of the House
—the offences charged being mainly of a
political character.
MARSHALL and ELLRIDGE, (Demo
crats,) the remaining members of the
Committee, present a separate report, in
which they undertake to defend and jus
tify the President in all his official acts,
as not even deserving censure.
All the reports were ordered to be
printed, and made the order for to-day,
when they will come up for discussion.
The chances for securing a majority vote
of the House in favor of impeachment
are said to be very doubtful. Many Re
publicans who believe the President de-
serves to be impeached, think it would
not pay to enter on the trial, which
would necessarily be protracted, at this
late day, there remaining but 15-months
of his term—that Congress would accsirn-
- -
plish more practical good by directing
its attention to needed legislation on Fi-
nances and other pressing questions, and
remain in seesfon until March, 1E459, if
necessary, to prevent further mischief by
the President.
HORATIO SEYMOUR has published
card, to state that, for personal reasons
which he does not give, he will not be a
candidate for nomination for the Presi
dency. This leaves the field, at present,
to Ex-Gov. PARKER of New Jersey, Goy.
ENGLISH of Connecticut (very light met
al), and to * Mr. PENDLETON of Ohio, a
really able man The leaders, however,
are looking, out for a military candidate.
SHERMAN'S recent speech at St. Louis
puts him "out of line"; and MEADE is
not willing. But, we understand, that a
movement is in progress to put General
HANCOCK in training. And FlANcocx's
recent order, on assuming command at
New Orleans, reads sa though he bad
been consulted, and consented, and was
preparing to make a fit record. Of course
the first thing to do, is to turn his back
on the Union men in the South and hug
the Rebels ; and he appears to have taken
a long step in that direction.
THE trial of JEFF. DAMS has again
been post-potted—this time until next
Spring. Counsel an both sides are anx
ious to have Chief Justice CHASE on the
bench when the trial' takes place, as im
portant legal questions will be involved.
The sessions of the Supreme Court at
Washington this winter require the pre
sence of.the
,Chief Justice. It is thought
he will be' able to go to Richmond in
March, to hold Circuit Court there, when
the case of Davis will be taken up. The
arch-traitor was in Washington on\Sun
day, on his way to Montreal. He was
travelliug alone, was recognized by but
few persons, and had no attention shown •
him. His mother-in-law, Mrs. Powrix,

TheMesisage is largely taken up with a dis
cussion of the' Reconstruction question and
e several Acts of Omens, pef q
tlieteto, and •is this portion of the meittske`
tittlfrit-beiT9 ,l 4l4MrsittOt o thik
ments of his various Veto Manse—nothing
new. The Finerldent regardiethebongiessional
plan of Reconstruction a failure—indeed, an
impeditnent in the work of :restoring the
States to their normal condition. In the face
of the evidence of Military Commanders in
the South who have been compelledtto de
capitate lawless Rebel officials, in all direc
tions, and the fierce, unrelenting persecuting
even to 'death of loyal Unionists, white and
black, the President insists that
"The execution of the laws•is not now ob
structed or opposed by physical force ; there
is no military or other necessity, real or pre
tended, which can prevent obedience to the
Constitution, either North or South., All the
rights and all the obligations of States and
individuals can be protected and enforced by
means perfectly consistent with the funda
mental law. The courts may be everywhere
open, and, iA open, their process would be
unimpeded. Crimes against the United States
can be prevented or punished by the proper
Judith" authorities in a manner entirely prac
ticable
and legal."
The President argues at length the uncon
stitutionality of the Military Governments in
the South, and urges the repeal of the laws
authorizing them. He says :
"It is qpnifeatly and avowedly the object
of these laws to confer upon negroes the
privilege of voting, and to disfranchise such
a number of white citizens as will give the
former a clear majority at all elections in
Southern States."-
Ile then enlarges upon the dangers of
committing tie ballot to the negro—insists that
ours is "a white man's government,"— that
the negro is an inferior race, and ought not be
permitted to participate in governmental
affairs, until properly trained. The cost of
Military Reconstruction is also objected to,
and the whole system regarded as intended
to secure the ultimate establishment of negro
supremacy.
The Message frankly admits that :
"Enormous frauds have been perpetrated on
on the Treasury, and that colossal fortunes have
been made at the public expense; this species
of corruption has increased, is increasing,
audit' not dirn'itisted, will soon bring us into
total ruin and disgrace. The public creditors
and the tax-payers are alike interested in an
honest administration of the finances, and
neither classes will endure the high-handed
robberies that have recently occurred. For
this discreditable state of things' there are
several causes. Some of the taxes are so laid
as to present an irresistable temptation to
evade payment. The great sums which offi
cers may win by connivance at fraud, create
a pressure which is more than the virtue of
money can withstand, and there can be no
doubt tnat the open disregard of constitutional
obligations avowed by some of the highest
and most influential men in the country, has
weakened the moral sense of those who serve
in subordinate places."
But these frauds are mainly attributed to
the operations of the Civil Office Tenure bill,
which is assailed as tying the hands of the
President in the removal and selection of pub
lic officers. [Unfortunately for the President's
argument on this point, Commissioner Rot:
Ilans—the head of the Internal Revenue De
partment—in his testimony before the Con
gressional Retrenchment Committee, testifies
that the public service has suffered much by
the removals made by the President, and the
appointment of incompetent and corrupt suc
cessors. It was to stop this that the Civil Of
fice Tenure Bill was passed.]
Our finances are next considered, and the
evils of an irredeemable paper currency en
larged upon, and the President holds it to be—
,
'The obvious du t 7 of the Government, as
early as may be consistent witit the principles
of sound political economyrto take such
measures as will enable the holder of its notes
and those of the national banks, to convert
them without loss into specie, or its equiva
lent. A reduction of our paper circulating
medium need not, necessarily, follow."
In the payment of all its debts the plighted
faith of the Government should be inviolably
maintained, but discrimination among the
different classes of creditors is to be avoided,
if possible. At present some are paid in gold,
others in currency. This can be best cured
by return to specie payments. The Pres
dent thinks,
, W:
"The time has come, when the government
and national banks should be required to take
the most efficient steps and make all neces
sary arrangements for a resumption of specie
payments at the earliest practicable period.—
specie payments havin g been once resumed
by the government and banks, all notes or
bills of paper issued by either, of a less deno
mivation than twenty dollars, should by law
be excluded from circulation, so that the peo
ple may have the benefit and convenience of
a gold and silver currency, which in all their
business transactions, will be uniform in val
ue at home and abraod."
"The production of precious metals in the
United States from 1849 to 1857, inclusive,
amounted to *579,000,000 ; from 1858 to 1860,
inclusive, to $137,500,000 ; and'from 1861 to
1867, inclusive, to s 4s7 , soo Mo—making the
grand aggregate of products since 1849, $l,-
174,000, 000.
"The amount of specie coined from 1849 to
1857, inclusive, was $439,000,000 dollars;
from 1858 to 1860, inclusive, $125,000,000,
and from 1861 to 1867. inclusive, $310,000,-
000—making the total coinage since 1849
$874,000,000. From 1840 to 1857, inclusive,
the net exports of specie amounted to $271,-
000,000 ; from 1858 to 18G0, inclusive, $322,-
0 00,000—making the aggregate of net exports
since 1849 $741,000,000. These figures show
an excess of product over net exports of $433,
000,000.
"There are in the Treasury $111,000,000 in
coin, something more than $40,000,000 in cir
culation on the Pacific coast, and a few mil
lions in the national and other banks ; in all
about' $160,000,000. This, however, taking
in account the specie in the country prior to
1849, leaves more than $300,000,000 which
have not been accounted for by exportation,
and, therefore, may yet remain in the country.
"On the 30th of June, 1866, the public debt
amounted to $2,783,445,879 ; tbefalth of

Our Foreign Relations are all In satisfactory
condition. In regard to our claims against
England, the President says :
"No arrangement hums yet-been reached for
the vettlement of our claims' for British de
predations upon the commerce of the United
States. I have felt it my duty to decline the
proposition of arbitration made by Her Ma
jesty's Government, because It has hitherto
been accompanied by reservations and limita
tions Incompatible with the rights, interest,
and honor of our country. It is not to be ap
prehended that Great Britain will persist in
her refusal to satisfy these just and reasonable
claims, which involve the sacred principle of
non-intervention—a principle henceforth not
more important to the United States than to
all other commercial nations."
A treaty has been concluded with Denmark

RELIC 0) BARBAR/RM.
THE whipping-post and pillory still
exist in Delaware a 9 modes of punish
ment, and a recent exhibition of both
these "Democratic amusements," took
place at Newcastle within the last ten
days. That our readers may realize what
a fine thing unadulterated Democratic
rule 4, we annex a report of the whip
ping:
At about 1 :15 o'clock the first victim was
brought out; he was a colored boy, about 18,
and had been convicted of assault and battery,
with intent to commit &further outrage on the
person of a while girl. ills name was Alfred
Howard. He had a sort of ashy hue, induced
by fear, as he naturally expected, on account
of thectutracter of his offence, to be severely
flogged. His wrists were fastened to the post,
and one could see by the working of his mus
cles and his close set teeth that he had nerved
himself to stand the ordeal His sentence was
thirty lashes, and they were, in the language
of the law, "well laid on" his bare back, but
the Involuntary shrinking with each blow was
the only sign he gave of the blow. The sec
ond victim was Edward Smith, another color
ed boy, who received twenty lashes for steal
ing a pair of boots. Though you could see
his muscles working with pain, he made no
outcry, and ran off with a forced laugh to the
jail. The prisoners nearly all seem to make it
a point to give no sign of pain, and as far as
possible to pretend that they are not hurt.
The next was a small colored boy, who had to
stand on a block to put his hands in the links.
He VMS very frail looking, physically, and the
Sheriff struck him very lightly, and could not
have hurt him much. He received twenty
lashes for some theft. The next two were
Samuel Golden, a black man, and Henry Da
vis, a bright mulatto, who had been convicted
of stealing corn, and received twenty lashes
each. The last, whose light-colored skin
showed the red welts produced by the whip
more plainly than did those of a darker hue,
stood it well; the first winced and moaned
considerably. The next victim was Charles
Scott, a tall colored man, who had been con- -
victed of stealing a horse and Mille, and sen
tenced to receive forty lashes. He is a man
said to have borne a good character, and he
persistently asserts that he received the pro -
perty from another man, not knowing it was
stolen: ; He evidently had nerved himself for
the punishment, but the muscular contraction
was great, and beads of prespiration rolled
down his naked body during the whipping.
The next victim was a white boy named
James Nugent, who had confessed to the steal
ing of some clothing, and received ten lashes.
He stood it well, making. no outcry. The
next was John Fitz Simmons, an Irishman.
He made a remark when fastened to the post.
"You can't bang me, anyhow." Ho seemed
unprepared for the first stroke, and looked
around with a start. He had robbed a board
ing-house, and received twenty- lashes. The
marks of the lash showed very plainly on his
white skin, and his face twitched convulsive
ly. He cried and moaned considerably.—
White men, it is said, never stand it as sto
lidly as, the blacks. Joseph Riggs, another
white man, quite young, convicted of stealing
clothes, jewelry, &c., next received twenty
lashes. His back was deeply Marked, bat he
stood it bravely, and like one of the coldred
men, went off to jail with a forced laugh.—
The next, and for that day the last, victim was
Wm. Mayer, a tall young German, convicted
of stealing some goods at Middletown. He
seemed more humiliated than any of the oth
ers, and, as soon as taken to the post, hung
down his head and commenced weeping bit
terly. He made no outcrybut showed by his
facial contortions and the shrinking of his
body the physical pain he suffered. He re.
ceived twenty lashes, which showed very
plainly on his clear white skin.
THE JILCHfif or me VinTIING._
The prisoners sire atri eried s td the Waist in the
jail, ahltdtket then . hrewn over.,theM and
they are broug ht to the yard ; the blanket is
removed and the- wrists pinioned. to the post.
The sheriff then applies the whip, with its
nine hither tinge, so that a man really re
ceives nine thnes.as many lashes as there are
blows struck ; ihe man who receives forty, for
instance, really receives three hundred and six
ty. As soon as the man is whipped, the blanket
is thrdirn over him and he is taken back to jail.
Tie Severity of the punishment is greatly mit
igated,iso far as the Physical suffering is con r
Ceralki, b.* htiritanity of the sheriff, who
loathes the ivorkorhicli the law !sakes ;a part
of his duty. Though welts were raised 'by the
thongs, no blood was drasin on Saturday, as

SABBATH SCITOOL CONVENTION.—
Last week woA briefly referred to the pro
ceedings of the Sabbath School Convention,
in this place, up to the hour of going to press.
The sessions were continued on Wednesday
morning, Rev. S. B. 13astsitz, of Wheeling,
Va., delivering an interesting address on
"Mission Schools," followed by a Black
board exercise by JACOB A. G•RDNER, E-iq
of Philadelphia, and a discussion of the
question, "should Sabbath Schools be kept
open during the entire year 7"—partiCipated
in by Dr. Flay. Rev. Mr. Gnossmes, Rev.
Mr. lisanzrz, Mr. BArerritAx, and others.
In the evening Rev. Mr. BARNITZ again
addressed the Convention, on the importance
of the Sabbath School work and the best
methods of prosecuting It successfully. The
Secretary, Rev. Mr. BRLIDRNBACCTLI, sub
mitted a summary of the statistical reports

with these Schools are 258 male and ins fe
male Teachers—total 556; Scholars, male
1,271, female I.4sB—total 2,759; average at

BITEZILER, and J. A. GARDNER, participated

A. GannsEit, Esq., who have honored us by

of this Convention.
.Resolved, That we will endeavor to profit
by the lessons they have taught us, as the re
sults of their long and varied experience in
the Sunday Seib 01 work.
Resolved, That it would largely add to the
interest and effeciency of our schools if those
who have charge of them would introduce,
from time to time, such new methods of
teaching and apparatus for illustration as
have been tested and approved by these and
other eminently successful Sunday School
workers.
Resolved, That we especially recommend,
Ist. The establishment of Bible classes for
adults, to be conducted eithez; in connection
rith the ordinary Sunday School, or in a dif
ferent plaoe and at a different time. 2d The
use of lively and cheerful music, not to the
exclusion, however, of the old church tunes
with which every child should be made famil
iar. 3d. The liberal display upon the walls
of the Sunday School room, of Scriptural
maps, charts, illuminated quotations from the
divine Word, useful mottoes, &c. 4th. The
use of blackboards for conveying instruction
to the mind of the pupil through the eye,
whilst, at. the same time, the ordinary lesson
conveys it through the ear. &h. The estab

by the Superintendent.oriNstor, for the 'spe
cial purpose of the study of theJesson for the
coming Sabbath, ;and for prayer for the Di

casional, if not annual, holding of Conven

Philadelphisf.Press I hee a letter from
svir WILLA, Prosfshynt of the Sol
enenfietional Cerlieregilti reply to toga
! ee_is, to . theqprospi*,-tot the work. The
granite work ilif s base and shalt of the
monument is being done at the quarries at
Weeterley, Rhode Island, and will be ready
tor•shipment on the opening ot-navigation
next spring. . The statues, di which there
aistive•tookemi she r ars , behit prepared
in Italy, under the supervision and subject
to the acceptance and approvarof Mr. Rsrt
DOLPH ROGERS, the celebmtei American
sculptor. The !very best worknym Atilt Ita
ly can furnish are engaged in doing the cut
ting 9t the .statuary. They are the same
men who were entrusted with the colossal
statue of Columbus at Genoa, and the famous
eqpestrian•statue of Frederick the Great at
Berlin.
Great difficulty has been experienced in
procuring sound blocks of marble of the size
and quality required for the statues. The
block for the statue which crowns the mon
ument, and the blocks for two of the lower
statues have been secured, and these pieces
will be finished and ready for shipment from
Rome by the last - of next April or first of
May. But in regard to the other two, all
depends on the success in getting the marble
whether they can be done by tlaat time. In
ferior qualities of marble can be readily ob
tained, but a uniform color, and of the best
quality. have been stipulated for, and it re=
'quires much search and labor before such
can be had. The work was to be completed
by the first of next July, but this unavoida
ble delay may require a postponement of the
contemplated dedication of the monument
on the next anniversary rf the battle of Get
tysburg,
A colossal statue of Major General JOHN
F. REYNOLD a will be placed In the Cemetery
nazi - summer by the soldiers of the First
Army Corps. It will be a bronze statue,
standing figure, about eight feet high, on a
granite pedestal of same height. It is de
signed to be a work of the highest style of
art, and it will reflect great credit on the de
votion and attachment of the members of the
First Corps to their brave leader.
Mr. WILLS, the President of the As
sociation, deserves much credit for his active
agency in this enterprise. Having first con;
ceived and recommended to Gov. CURTIN
the project of a National Cemetery, soon af
ter the battle of Gettysburg, he has ever
since given much time and attention to its
prosecution. For long years It will be one
of the great attractions of the battle-field.
