We are slightly disappointed. We had reason to expect important news from the army on the Potomac. But, perhaps the illness of Gen. McClellan has had something to do with the move ments of the army in that direction. The different regiments and the people throughout the country, are becoming impatient for an "advance." The Com mander-in-Chief is the ruling power, and no doubt he will advance at the right time—but placing the greatest confidence in his judgment, we still can_ not help but think that he moves his forces very slowly. We cannot be many days without important fighting news from the Potomac. The English Fury. It will be three or four weeks before we can hear of the effect in England of the release of Messrs. Mason and Sli dell. In the meantime, the London papers that reach us are as bitter and malignant towards the United States :as it is possible to be. A very few pa pers are moderato in their tone, and seem to hope for a pacific termination , of the difficulty. But the principal journals seem almost insane on the sub ject of America. The London Times, -in Rartieular, breathes hatred and vengeance against the United States In every column. 1rt . ".1.0 Time. vt-Deer-tith, there are about thirteen—,eolmt.”7o-j,A—uted rnortcaii affairs. The leading articles are three in number. One is a furious attack on President Lincoln's message; ;another an equally bitter attack on Secretary Welle's report, and the third, _which is professedly n tribute to the • memory of Prince Albert, is also sprin kled with angry allusions to this coun try. The Prince of Wales, who is ex . peeled to advise and support the Queen ' as his father did, is instructed by the Times to be jealous and suspicious of the people and Government of the Uni ted States, whose honored guest he was a•year and a half ago. Thus, the occasion of 'a national bereavement, which shOuld soften the hearts of all people, is used by this mischievous and and powerful organ to inflame their ivohit, passions against a kindred peo ple. . -Having made our peace-offering to Great Britain, it is proper that we should wait to hear how it is received, and that we should not retaliate, as wo ,fairly might, with vituperation against the English people and Government.— But it is not to be denied that the course pursued by the English at the pres ent time is exciting a feeling of antipa thy in this country more intense and deep-seated than any that existed even in the periods •of our former wars.— Many an American citizen is instruct ing his children as Hamilear did his sop; and vows of eternal enmity against England are taken as solemnly as was that of the Carthaginian lad against Rome. Whether from among the young generation, thus indoctrinated with The new idea, a Hannibal will ap pear, to humble the pride of England in a future time,'no ono need predict. But the time will assuredly arrive, when the people of England will be made to regret the malignity of their temper towards the United States in the winter of 1861-2.—Phila. Bulletin.

'Tie true, at times, the gathering cloud Portended storms, with thunder loud— While fitful lightnings lent a glare Of coming rnge, where all seemed fair. An evil spirit could be beard, At times, hiss forth a horrid word, Al through the air, with meld flight, It rushed with goblins of the night, To freeze the blood and chill tho soul, As in the pact tote heart it stole. The traitor'. "squeak and Aber" fell Upon the ear, like voice from hell : lint though they seemed like notes of death Malignant—that no held our breath, Amazed, astonished, still In doubt, The demon, treason, was about— We )et belies ed that reason'. vofce Would still, our happy land, rejoice; That times and season., rte of yore, Would come and go, to fill our .lore; That frugal men would till their lauds, While time dispensed her running sands That flowers would bloom and fountain. pour Their cry slid floods, and) ed with gore And all as one fraternal band, Through toils of lira, march hand in hand. The trembling doubt um solved at last— The cannon's roar rode on the blast— Tha cry of war rang tbrongli rho land, And brave battalions took their stand, Within their 'trenchmonts, clad with steel Aud made to arms, their last appeal. And where, upon this blood stained earth ; And when, since morning of her bit th, Did mau or any station tea ' , A startled people, thus agree, Without debate, at instant thought, To save the land, their father's bought, With such expense of life and gold, From treason's sacrilegious holdt The trial, shines out, like noon-day beam, That Immo'. fountains scot the stream Of patriotic love to start The latent feelings of the heart. A mighty empire, band on slaves, Was dreamed about by wicked knaves. The splendid vision, with its train Of ignorance and stolen gain, Allured them on, with, phantom beck, Their country's peaceful hopes to wreck. They struck the blow, the cannon's roar Was heard from ocean's wave-mashed shore; And down wont mattock, pick and spade, By whirls were tilled the hill and glado; The hammer ceased its ringing sound— The plow loft standing in this ground— And armies dieser,' in glittering steel, Press closely on rebAlion's heel. I'll not recount the deeds of arms; The glory bought, In scar' alarms; The brilliant charge, the rlctor's cry, The dead and dying there that lie, In pile. upon the blood-moist ground, Their dying groans unheArd around, An nhouts of triumph roll tway, In celebration of the day. But let commanders net their part, And soldiers fight Mill) valiant heart; The Muse snoops o'er the bloody fray— To other themes she tunes her lay. From evil, good has often flowed; Through wrongs, has often found her road And right and jostle° filled their store, From social ills and fields of goro. Convulsions deep, that nations, shake, And through the social fabric break, Have oft a Providential came— Subservo a Providential pause. The treason that assails us now May greatly, ustiee, right, endow; May bleak barbaric clinics that bind Opinions, feelings of mankind; Emancipate the bondman's soul From social tyranny's control; And learn mankind one lesson more In nature's book, untaught before. Let treason's minions, filled with rage, Against the progress of the ago, Ittware, that they are cot the tool., Perdition works with, namely, fools: Let them beware the frowning nod, And fear the thunderbolts of God: For in the kingdom of the skies, , No upward impulse ever dies; A.. 3 all retarding forces fall, With those who raised them, at their call, Disiolved In everlasting death, Before avenging 'leaven's breath. 'Tin l o trd to prophecy the end 'When mighty armies do contend; But let me my, whateer the fate Of this great trout& In the state May hap to be; a ruling God lit wrath or mercy a lilt his rod scourgn the wrong, uphold the right, And guard the truth throughout the fight. Lot armies meet, liko rock and ware— The fleld will not be freedom', , rare. Emancipated men will stand Defiant, bold, throughout the land, As they hors stood, since Concord's plain Was dotted o'er with Britain's slain. The War Department of the skies Ifas bid these bold battalions rise; And they mill ne'er their armor cast, Nor stop the bugle's thrilling blast, Till freedom treads her temple's balls, Secure from treason's cannon balls; Till truth shall gain ono foothold more, In human hearts, not loot before; Till Heaven shall crush the sceptered wrong, That burdened hearts nom• bear along; And despot's thrones shall melt tinny, Like floats before the rising day. Send Anil: thine orders—Lord of Hosts! And whiter, blight the idle boasts ' Of demons, fighting truth end Thee; And make them to the caverns flee— And to the culprit's scaffold red, With blood of dying and the dead. Sink England's navies In the sea, And curse her arms where're they be; And send the prostitute of hell, To roast, where Milton's angels fell. Congratulations, new I tend, From brim full heart, to every friend, Who may have con'd my o pages o'er, Since last you found me at your door, With New Year's song and smiling face, To greet you with poetic grace. A happy Now Year, may you spend; - A happy year, until the end; When peace may girdle earth again, No more disturbed by cut-tliroa mon. THE cAnniEr. Teachers' Institute. The Huntingdon County Teachers' Institute met pursuant to previous no tice in the Court House in this place, on Thursday, Dec. 26th, at 10 o'clock. President, Professor J. B. Kidder, of Shir]eysburg, in the chair. Exercises opened with prayer by Professor L. Whipple. -The president at the commencement of the - exercises addressed the conven tion briefly, as follows : Fellow-teachers and Friends of Educa tion :—lt is customary, on occasions like this, to commence with congratu lations or regrets; with the former when it is possible to find matter of rejoicing. On this occasion, I find a subject of congratulation in beholding a larger assemblage than that which greeted us a year ago, but wo have reason to regret the absence of sonic of the most efficient members, who are now on the cotton islands of South Carolina or the hills of Virginia, serv ing their country in her hour of need. While we aro delighted with the presence of so many, we are sure that if the purposes of these Institutes were bettor understood by teachers, wo should see many fold moro enroling themselves on our catalogue. We, who have met, may, therefore be pre sumed to have a definite object, and what is it? I answer it is improve ment in the theory and practice of in struction by a mutual exchange of methods and opinions. But why should we feel an interest in this subject beyond the rest of the community? I see no reason why we should, but I see many reasons why the parents of our pupils should feel at least, an equal anxiety with ourselves. If our actions wore guided wholly by self-interest, we might combine as ar tisans sometimes do to extort from the rest of the people what we consider our rights. But that was a mistaken policy, and your assembling on this occasion is a proof that you are actua ted by no such contracted and selfish motives. The truth is, we can have no interest as teachers independent of the public advantage, and we best pro mote our own honor and emolument by increasing our efficiency. A clergyman in one of our Eastern States in an assembly of his brethren, began to complain of the honor former ly rendered to his cloth. One of those brethren took him severely and justly to task, saying that he must have lost his self-respect before he could begin to suspect that he had lost that of those around him. So, I contend, we shall be exactly what we make ourselves; by aiming at a high degree of excel lence, we shall gradually train our selves and the mass of the people to some degree of proximity to our aim. There is improvement, and though perfection be distant in the perspective of the future, every step forward is an approach to it, and perseverance alone can attain it. There are obstacles.— One class is found in the want of ap preciation of true merit in the official managers of school affairs.. Some are unreasonable in their demands on the labor and time of the teacher requiring 23 full days of six hours to the month, as if the nervous system could stand the same tension with the wood-chop. per's muscles. Would they ask of the preacher the exercise of his functions for even 30 hours in the week? I be lieve the faithful teacher will find an equal pressure on the most delicate part of his organization in the same period. Some are incapable of gauging the merits of instruction and act as foolishly in their estimation of a teach er's qualifications, as if they paid their physician by the quarts of his potions, or the lawyer by the quires of his written instruments. Another class of obstacles is found in the instability of the teacher's pro fession. We find no fault, nay, we commend the lofty patriotism of those of our associates who have forsaken our peaceful pursuits for the conflicts of arms, but others who have been with us, are now standing behind the merchant's counter, or poring over his ledger, others have made the teacher's rostrum a stepping-stone to what they fancy the h!gher position of the bar, the bedside of the sick, or even the sa cred desk. But we contend that when the pub lic mind is educated up to the true value of things,no pursuitwill be deemed higher than ours. We welcome to our ranks these energetic and aspiring men who, after a temporary exercise of our art are attracted to any other virtuous and honorable engagement; but in the "good time coming," for which wo are laboring here and ever-. where, there will be no attraction of honor or emolument that will make the most aspiring forsake ours, the most useful even now of all professions. On motion, a committee of three were appointed to prepare exercises for the session. Chair appointed-4z : McDivitt, H. Meliibbin and S. B. Tay , lor said committee.
