HUNTINGDON, PA.
The Andersonville Postoffice,
The following touching lines; descrip•
five of an incident in the.pen of the
Union prisoners at Andersonvillo, Ga.,
are attributed to G. H. Hollister, Esq.,
of Litchfield, Connecticut. The war
has yet elicited nothing of a sadder
intereSt
No blanket,rourttl hii - rested BMW,.
Under the rainy skY he slept;
While pointing his envenomed shafts,
Around him, Death, the archer, crept.
He dreamed of hanger, and held out
Ws hand to clutch a little bread—
That a white angel with a torch,
Among the living and the dead,
Seemed bearing, smiling as he went;
The vision waked him, as he spied
The post-boy followed by a crowd
Of famished prisoners, who cried
For letters—letters from their friends.
CraWling upon his hands and knees
He hears his own name arid he
A letter from his wife hasees I
Gasping fur breath, he shrieked aloud,
And Diet in nature's blind eclipse,
Paltering amid the suppliant crowd,
Caught it and pressed it to his lips.
A guard who followed, red and wroth,
And flourishing a rustybrand,
Reviled him with a taunting oath,
And snatched the letter from his hand.
"First pay the postage, whining wretch 1"
Despair had made the prisoner brave,
"Then give me back my money, sir!
I am a captive—not a slave l
You took my money and my clothes;
Take my life too—but let me know
How Mary and the children are,
And I wilt bless you ere I go."
The very moonlight through his hands,
As he stood supplicating, shone,
And his sharp features shaped . themselves
Into a prayer, and such a tuna
Of anguish there was in his cry •
For wife and children, that the guard—
Thinking of his own—passed by,
And left him swooning on the award.
Beyond the "dead lino" fell his head—
The roger sentry knew his mark,
And with a crash the bullet sped
Into his brain, and all n•as dark.
Up toward the Itglit, tie pale lips smiled
Kissing a picture fair and meek
' That hold in dither band a child.
School Report of Huntingdon County,
Examinations.— The public examina
tions Commenced Omit the middle of
August, and closed in the first week of
October. Twenty-four examinations
wero held, during which some 425 miles
wore traveled. The examinations in
most of the districts were well attend
ed by directors, citizens and spectators,
the room, in some instances, being
crowded to overflowing. The number
or applicants for examination was
smaller than that of any previouS year,
some 215 certificates only having been
issued, while the number heretofore
has exceeded 300. Some 7 or 8
exami
nation,
wero granted on private
by special request of directors,
in orderto supply the schools, and per
haps as many were endorsed, after ex
amination, in other counties. The
average qualifications were inferior, ,a
large portion being young, inexperien
ced, and in many cases lamentably
deficient. The schools • were opened
under circumstances by: no means flat
tering, with :a corps - Of -teachers compo
sed, for the most part, of persons, poor
ly qualified and lacking that taped
ence, so indispensable, in order to in
sure success. The average grade of
cortificates•was 24. In orthography,
reading and Written arithmetic, the
lowest number was 3} ; in writing anti
mental arithmetic , 8; in geography,
3f, and grammar .
Graded Schools.—No schools were
graded during the year, in the county.
There are 15 graded schools; all that
can be conveniently graded. In ono
or two instances, perhaps, the schools
might be graded to advantage in rural
districts, The grading, in some cases,
is somewhat imperfect, and might be
materially improved. The schools aro
all classified, though in some districts,
owing to the difficulty in obtaining the
necessary books,. the classification is
by no means perfect. • This difficulty
seems to be ono very hard to overcome,
in many of the rural districts; in many
instances the books not being availa
ble, and in others, the parents not be
ing disposed to ineur any additional
expense in purchasing them.
history, and especially the history
of the United States, is entirely too
much neglected, and the want of some
interesting and comprehensive system
of teaching this important branch of a
common school education, is very much
felt. The impowtnee of imparting to
the youth of our land,—those who are
to be our fixture teachers, citizens and
legislators,—well defined ideas of our
national growth and policy and thus
infusing into their minds that glowing
patriotism which should animate every
citizen of our Republic, cannot be overt
rated.
School Houses.—Thero are in the
county, 182 school houses and 191
schools. But one school, during thti
past winter, was taught in a rented
room. In the- town of Huntingdon,
the 60110015, except the ono for colored
children, aro all, six iu number, in one
building, with separate rooms, and
regularly. graded. Six new school hou
ses were erected during the year. In
the village of Scottsville, in Clay town
ship, a very fine, large and commodi
ous building was erected, with suffi
cient room for two schools, and town
hall above. The expense of building
was partially. defrayed by the citizens,
and raised, by contribution. The build
ing is alike ornamental to the village,
and creditable to the taste and , enter
prise of the directors and citizens. A
very fair ; and at the same time a much
needed house, was erected in Crom
well township, and two were erected
in Dublin. These districts, though by
no means so wealthy and populous as
some others, are nevertheless deter
mined not to be behind in this impor
tant particular. In Mapleton ; Union
township, a flourishing village on the
Pennsylvania railroad, a very good
and substantial frame building has
been erected in additiorit6 the ono al
ready there; and an additional Sehool
established. Perhaps no district, in
proportion to its moans, has done so
much towards the erection of.a suffi
cient imnii,mr
.of substantial school
uildings, as this one, this-being the
third ono Wittin the last 'two years.
A .beautiful frame building was erec
ted at Warriorsmark township ; at a
cost of $6OO, the plan.taken from the
Pennsylvania School Architecture,
with cupola and boll, on good sized lot,
surrounded by a neat fence, an orna
ment to the neighborhood, and highly
creditable to the enterprise, testa and
go-ahead- spirit, which characterizes
the direbtors and citizens of this dis
trict.
Furniture.—No school houses, ex
cept those recently erected : were sup
plied with any additional furniture or
apparatus, except perhaps.here and
there a few now desks, or remodelling
of seats, add in ono or two instances a
new black-board. In some 51 hetises,
the furniture Might ho said to be unfit
for use, while about the same number
of houses aro unfit to be occupied.
Visitations.—lmitiediately after the
public examinations closed, the visita
tion of schools was commenced, and
continued during the school term,
with the exception of the week occu
pied in attending the convention of
.
Superintendents Harrisburg. Ono
hundred and sixty-fonr.•schools wore
visited, some 4 or
,5 of Which were
I visited twice, and some 1,200 miles
I traveled. Although there were fail
ures on the part
,of some, yet in most
leases I was agreeably disappointed in
my expectations, the schools being
batter conducted, and the teachers
rendered bettor satisfaction than 1. had
reason to anticipate at the close of the
examinations.
• llfentritatiVion.-1n 00 of' the
schools visited, the Scriptures wore
read, either regularly or occasionally, I
22 were opened with prayer, in 4 of
which the exercises were acbompanied
With singing. In 2 schools, the prac
tico.of committing Verses was purstr
ed with good effect. The importancer
if not the absolute necessity of a sys
tem of religious training in our public
schools, heroines every year more ap
parent, and there is no greater perver
sion of the letter and spirit of 'the law,
than to say that such is not contem
plated, because sectarian teaching is
included. This is a subterfuge, under
which teachers and school Officers oft
en seek to hide the respohsibility res
ting upon them and thus secure to
I themselves a pretext for the neglect'
of thisiniportant duty. - The'clashing
of different religious creeds and the
risk of sectarian dissension, is far less
to be feared than the absence , of' all .
religious instruction. Tho truth will
always stand the test of discussion,and
has nothing to fear from it. It is false
delicacy alone which seeks to avoid
' this imaginary evil; by encouraging
ono which is real. If there ever was
a time, when such training was impel , -
' atively demanded, it is`noW, when the
heavy hand of an afflicting ProVidence
is on us as a.nation, and when we are
passing through much needed disci
pline, on account of neglectiLg this
duty. It is not only important, but
essential, in order to the sustaining and
perpetuation of our civil and religious
instructions, that the tone of manhood
and standard of Christian character
should be elevated, and that the gen
eration, soon to take our places, should
not only be stron , i•hearted, quick-han•
(led and clear-heiTded, but that they
should he taught to love their God and
fellow-man, as well as to love their
country and understand its institutions,
and their duty as citizens of this great
and growing Commonwealth.
.Gistrict hatitutes:---There wore but
three districts in which district insti
tutes wore not regularly held; ,Junia
ta, Cass and Caesvillo.. Local difficul
ties in the way of attending, the teach
crs•being principally females, were as
signed as the reason on the part of
the first two, while the last containing
but one school, was deprived of the
opportunity of uniting with any oth
cr district. In most cases they have
been well attended and considerable
interest manifested by citizens and di
rectors, while in others a want of in
terest and enthusiasm on the part of
teachers, as well as that of co-opera
tion on the part of parents and direc
tors, have tended greatly to diminish
their usefulness, and discourage an cf
fort for self-improvement which, with
proper encouragement, might be pro
ductive of much good.
In regard to the supply of qualified
teachers for the coming year, l am by
no moans sanguine, as the
„prospects
are not flattering. Many of the best
qualified aro leaving the profession for
more lucrative positions, now opening
elsewhere, leaving their places to bo
filled by the inexperienced and those
of inferior qualificatiOns. Under these
circumstances, the supply of really
competent teachers will uo doubt be.
In conclusion, we would most
pectfully urge upon directors through
out the county, the importance of
promptly making out their annual re
ports and forwarding theta at the pro-
per time, and also, that in making
out and, forwarding the four month's
certificate, either to al4is the proper
revenue stamp, or enclose 5 cents in
currency.. This duty, through thought•.
lessness, no doubt,. on the part of the
proper officers, has been hitherto al-

However some of the best friends of
.the Government may haVe 'doubted
the policy or the propriety of the visit
of President Luccoi.N, and his veteran
Secretary of State, to meet the rebel
commissioners, • there are two faCts
which cannot he oVerlooked as' we
- read the history and study the result
of their so. called negotiation. First,
the President could not have stood
Justified to his countrymen and to the
world if he had refused to meet those
commissioners. And second, having
now met them, and listened to their
doh:lands, he can go before his country
men of both sections, and before all
the nations, upon the record of the
case. Wo have only to go back to
the initial. and recent efforts of Mr.
Gar.r.i.v, Mr. WEED', Mr. RAYMOND, and
others equally eminent, to see how
essential the ripest wisdom is to the
adjustMent of our national and inter
national complications. These gen
tlemen, through their three great
newspapers, however'opposed on per
sonal issues, were too conscious of their
relations to the American people and
their responsibility to their Govern
ment, to hesitate at any occasion to
secure an honorable peace. As they
did not fear to act on this high motive,
- could the President be indifferent to
the public oinion the aided to cul
tivate ? They are neither brave nor
sagacious statesmen who, in a crisis
so terrible and so unparalleled as this,
can stand upon personal ideas, and
refuse to move . from narrow pedestals.
Ours is the period for lhrge thought
and sublime magnanimity. Hence, ,
when ABRAHAM LiscorN and W I
IL 'SnwAtth proceeded to meet tho
Southern 'commissioners, we honored
them for their manliness and their
liberality. Although they did not
fulfil the full expectations of the Mende
of the Union, they nevertheless
achieVed a substantial victory. Messrs.
Stephens, Hunter, ex-Justice Campbell,
have before this laid their case
I before the Southern people; and these
people have heard, or'must soon hear,•
that their leaders would consent to
nothing but the recognition of the re
bellion. We are, of course, unable
and unauthorized tosay how much Mr.
Lincoln was willing to concede Suf•
flee it, the only condition to honora
ble peace seems to have been declined
by the rebel commissioners--that con- .
dition being the restoration of the
Federal:Union arid obedience to all the
!awe of Cohgrees. Could a better pic
ture be laid before the deluded and
despairing Southern people? Could
they lee the fiendishness, of their des
pots and the eager magnanimity of
President Lincoln in a brighter mir
ror? Wo assert that there is not a
man or a woman in the South who
has over really believed that the pee:
ph) of the free States would agree to
make peace on the basis of a separa
tion of the American Republic. What,
then, must they, the fighting South,
omit' men and the starving Southern
men . and wOmen, think of loaders
who refuse to compose our grate trou
bles unless Mr. Lincoln agrees t o
sunder anti surrender the American
Union ? The first effect of this decision
will be to unite the North and to divide
the• South. We observe that on Satur
day, Mr. Fernando Wood, of Nevi
York, tho very head and front of the'
Peace party, said in the House, after
hearing that the rebels had insisted
on recognition as a preliminaryto a
close of the war:
"Rumor said the negotiation has
failed. It was to be regretted. But
if it failed in consequenco of the In-
disposition of the. rebel authorities to
return to allegiance and duty on the
basis of tho common • Constitution,
they might as well know,
so far as 1w
