The *.chools are now beginning, for

each other, and help onward the cause
of Scholl improvement. You can do
tpis by brief awl pertinent. communi,

asking and answering suitable quest

of Teaching, and the several branches
pui.sued in :school, by criticisms upon
school-books, modes of teacking, &c.,
Sic., and in short, in a variety of ways
which yt,ilr own ingenuity will suggest.

0,1 Tue,day last sivy-one stu
dents had enrolled taeir names for the
present term, at the Academy. This
is noble, and what is still more impor
tant, Mr. Hendrick is perfectly at home
among his pupils and their studies.
Thr.t school is ?Irr3ativ well ureanizerl,
and the scholars manifest great inter
est in the business before them. We
hope they and, alcir teacher will be
encouraged by the frequent visits of
the patrons and friends of the Institu
tion.
' rir The Rev. T. Gross, for thirty
four.years-a slave, cave our citizens a
brief narrative oihis experience under
the peculiar institution, on Sunday
evening last, at the Methodist church.
There was
. a full house, and at the
close of Mr. G.'s sinwle statement,
collection of ~1.15.50 was: taken up, to
assist in rescuing ono of his children
from slavery. We think no one who
heard this narrative will again blame
us fur agitating the question of slave
ry.
The Rev. J. Hendrick, Princi pal
of Coudersport Academy, will deliver
an educationai address on Wednesday
evening of next week. being Dec. 19.
Those of our citizens who hard the
sermon of Mr:Hendrick on Suwlay
afternoon last, will need no urging to
induce them to attend the lecture next

Wednesday evening; but to those-who
did not, it . may be Proper to say that
Mr. H. is a very pleasant speaker, and
talks right to the point.. Let us, give
him a full house, and thus show our
respect for the lecturer, and our. iu
terest in the cause of education.
THE HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
We ask attention to the prospec•:ua
of this paper which may be found in
another column. The Telegraph, as
will be seen by this prospectus, has
changed .editors and proprietors.—
With the new men, most of our read
ers are somewhat acquainted by repu
tation. Col. M'Clute has been a lead
ing, man in the Whig party for some
yea is. He made the Chamhersburg
Whig one of the hest county papers
in the State ; and hence will bring to
his new enterprise a ripe experience,
and an enviable reputation. We had
the pleasure of making his acquaint
ance at the Pittsburgßepublican Con
ventimilast September, and have the
utmost confidence in his ability and
intention ta make the Telegraph all
that any reasonable friend of freedom
could expect.
Mr. Sellers, the partner, is a mem
ber ()raw, Senate, has a high reputa
tion as. a public man, and, will add
considerable strength to any enterptise
with which he is_ connected. These
gentlemen have abundant means, and
we are assured, have invested liberal
ly in the Telegraph establishment; with
a view to make it one of the best pa
pers in the State. Being located at
the seat of our State government, we
trust a large number of our friends in
this county will at once subscribe for
it. It will be published (mice a week
during the session of the
and will give all the proceedings of
that body.
It will give us pleasure to forward
the subscriptions of any of our friends
in any part of the county, and we will
be responsible fur the safe transrpis.
sion of any funds entrusted to us far,
I that purpose. 4e these are stirring
times,,witli a Most important session

KANSAS.
We give on the first page an extract
from the Tribune's correspondence,
describing the closing scenes of the
Kansas Free State 'Convention ; and
we ask the reader to turn--to that re
port. It shows that Pierce Democra
cy did its utmost, to legalize slavery
in Kansas till 180, and to endorse the
Nebraska bill. Both of these priijects
were defeated. A Constitution was
tramed which excludes slavery from
Kansas, and is to be submitted to a
vote of the 'people. on the 15th of De
cember. If a majority vote in favor
of then Congress will-he asked to
admit the new State into the Union.
Will it be done I There will he no
trouble in the House; for there the
Republicans and opponents of the ad
ministration are in a majority. But
we fear for the Senate, which contain - ,
a majority of Pierce Democrats. The
Hunker leaders in this section,- are
trying to encourage their followers
with the idea that old line Democrats
will vote-for the admission of Kansas.
If they do; we sham be happily disap
pointed ; for we have nci fear that any
Republican will vr.te agailist and
if Bierce Democrats do not, Ealing
will soon be a free State.
Since writing the above, we i hear
bad news from Kansas. The pro
slavery party, beaded by Governor
Shannon, seeing no way to prevent
the•triumph of freedom in tlrlt Terri
tory, except by the use of the army of
the United States, have coma enced . a
civil war, and are now asking the
Pre.ident for bayonets. and bullets in
behalf of slavery extension. See arti
