Editors:—Let it not be inferred frorn 'any remark in my last, that I am diiposed to undervalue the thorough exam ination' Ma School-teacher. Such an ex (imitation dies at the very basis of the QiiMinien School system—and which I con tehdllnit, it.is not in itself a sufficient test °flits merits, iyet it is essential as a foun dation fbr every good School. In fact, the finidamental error consists in - the filet that this examination is either entirely neglect. ed'or very imperfectly done. I said in toy Matof tat the "law has done its duty." An examination of the law, since made, would most materially modify the remark. The law of Pennsylvania, on this sub 1661, if I correctly read it, is an anomaly. 'eannot , find a single clause in the law Providing either what branches of study shall be taught in our Common Schools, or what shall be the qualification of teachers employed in them. The only clause ap- Peittiining thereto, which I can find, reads as,_,follows, under the head of duties of sChool, Directors : "They shall, either thertiselves, or by such persons as they shall appoint for that purpose, examine ail per Sons who may apply for employment ea teachers - , and who shall give to each . teacher found qualified and of good moral character, a certificate, setting forth the branches of learning he or she is capable oPieaching, which certificate shall he sign ed by a majority of the acting hoard of Di rectors, and tie person shall be employed ns, teacher without having, procured such certificate, which shell be renewed anon- Another section says, “they shall determine and direct what . branches of lan guage shall be !aught," &c. Thus it will be seen that the Directors are otnniptent as to the branches which shall be taught, and (he.qualifications of the teachers. If they, , iu . the plenitude of their power, see fit that Only reading and spelling shall be taught, theY haze to examine the candidate only ,upon these branches. Ifon the contrary, the, director has a son whom he wishes to tit for College, he has a perfect right to in , silt that his teacher shall be qualified to . leech in the classical department. By this law - , the chief design of t lie-Cotnmon School may. be dm/tiled and rendered wholly nu gatory. I ask what security or protection is there in it for the mass of the people? It is as I have said, nn anomaly. lam well ,acqoainted• with the school laws of several leading state!) in the Union. In every one of them, the very basis of the system con. sistsin pointing out distinctly and clearly the branches which shall be taught in the Common Schools, and then demanding of the examining board.that teachers shall be brottght up to the standard of qualification. -The Ixaird has • no discression whatrver— hole° there is uniformity throughout the state,andqnalificatio thesameevery where. No man can teach unless lie passes a sat isfactory examination in Reading, Writ ing, Spelling', Grammer, Arithmetic, Go. ograPhy; History, U. S., and in some in , ,stances Nat. Philosophy. Here, then, is a safe . , legal guaranty to the poorest man in the state,that these branches shall be taught in the common School, and teachers ex unlined with direct reference to their übil ityrto teach each and all of them. Here is of ,a thorough system. The law • tifkennsylvania being what I have quoted,, • I - cotlie to be surprisdd at the 'condition of many of her schools, and the entire incom ,;yetency and indifference of many,employ ed to , teach.

There may be an • Occasional hoard of Directors who do their ;IYhote - duty . thoroughly in this matter, but 4illigent enquiry . has not revealed any such to ine. When your law shell specify dis. linctly and decidedly what branches shall be' taught in your public Sehaols, find ap t. point a competent and efficient officer or officers to e warnine:applicants in rega rd to their qualifications to teach these branches, . ; .requiring that they come to a certain standaid, then, and not till. then, will ~4eU have the proper basis of a system that supply you with good teach l'erA, and make your Common Schools what they ought to be, and were designed to be. ~There will even then be quite opportunity „ e nough far poor teachers to slip in, but ;compared with the present, their numberi Will be very small, and there will be some satisfaction in knowing that the law givesi no encouragement for them to, offer them-I .I may, indeed I have been \ told,! that teachers of very limited• ahilities'only urp heeded in must of our schools.

DOCENDUS. I i r thu lteuub ram GEN. PIERCE nntl lIIS DIMMERS. CLEnarnme, July 20th, 1852. /I.ficssrs. Editois:—The whig ptipers have commenced and carried on for sonic time, a musade • againSt the military reputation of Gen. Pierce. They lidsoly assert, that he was not, during his whole military ca reer, in a single engagement with the en my; that he is theihinting t4eneral, &c: And, as the Bomb Shell, the principal propogator and circulator of these mis statements and misrepresentations is wide ly circulated, and almost every whig gen tleman in this borough, have at all times 'one or more .numbers in their pockets, ready at all times to attack every man learning in from the country, and thus give a more extended circulation to misrepre sentation. The democrats do not claim (r Gen. Pierce a single vote morily on account of his military reputation. God forbid that the time should over come, that the democratic party should elevate a man to the highest office in . the gift of the American people, having no other qualifi cation than that of a successful general.— Gen. Taylor is a warning, too recent to be forgotten. The democratic party seek to elevate Gen. Pierce, on account of his fame as a statesman, a patriot, his upright ness of conduct, his uniform consistency of principles, and above all his uniform opposition to sectional agitation. Ma mil itary man, the democratic party claim for him simply, that he volunteered in the se vice of his country ; that he nobly and gallantly performed It's duty; that he fought bravely ; that he received the high com mendation from the Commander-in-chief and from the Generals of the division— for the truth of which, I respectfully beg leave to refer to the following extracts from Gen. Scott's official despatches, ns returned to the war department and pub lished by order of Congress in 1840. Gen. Scott says in his despatch dated nine miles from Mexico, August 19,1847. "The battle mostly stationary,continued to rage with great violence until night-fall. Brevet Brigadier General P. F. Smith's, and Brevet Col. Riley's brigade, (Twigg's division,) supported by Brigadier General Pierce's and Cadwilladers brigade,( Pillow's division) were more than three hours un der a heavy tire of Artillery and musketry along the almost impassable ravine,in front and to the left of the entrenched cam." To the above extract - some of the w . h:gs object by ship?, although Pre - ree!..s.briglide was there, tlere is no evidence tlikhe in person comma ded it, because his name as being perso ily present is not men tioned. Now. let,any, candid man look and see the force of thiS - clbjection. If General Pierce is pot men6ned as personally pres ent, aeitlier is Gen. Smith, Col. Riley, Gen. Twins, Gen. Cadwalader, or Gen. Pillow, the despatch leaves them all in the same catagory----if one was not present neither were the others. Then who com- manded these brigades? According to whip argument, they were entirely with- out commanders. Besides, in all General Scott's, as well as all other General's des- patches,whenever any regiment or brigade, or part of a regiment or brigade was com manded by any officer not its own legiti mate commander, the name of such coin- =alder is invariably- given. There is not one single instance on record in which it is not so Gen Scott says in his despatch, dated, Tacubaya at the gates of Mexico, August 28,1847: "Accordingly the two advanced divis ions, and. Shield's brigade marched from Contreras under till immediate orders of Gen. Pillow, who was now joined by the gallant Brigadier General Pierce, of his division, personally, thrown out of activi ty late the eveninit e' before, by a severe hurt received by the 101 l of his horse." It must be borne in Mind that this des patch gives an account of the fighting that occurred on the . 24th of August: General Scott says, Pierce was thrown out of ac tivity late the evening before, which would make it the evening of the 19th August, and the same day on which Scott's last despatch says hil i brigade .was under a heavy fire for three hours. Now all the whips admit that he was at the head of his brigade when he was thrown from his horse, and that occurred late in the even ing. Where was he during the three hours fighting that occurred before night? How came he at the bead of his brigade • just close alter the fight? Whigs, for once be candid, and admit that _you knbw well enough ho was there all the time, and got hurt ut the close of the fight, but was on duty the next day as stated in the above extract and the following one. Gen Scott says in the same despatch:— "Next, (but in ten minutes) sent Pierce, (just able to keep the saddle) with his bri gade, (Pillow's division,) _conducted by Capt. Lee, engineer, by a third road, a little farther to our left, to attack the ene my's right and rear, in Order to fitvor the movement upon, the convent, and cut the retreat towards the capitol. And finally Shields, senior Brigadier to Pierce, with the New York and 'South Carolina Volunteers, (Quitman's div.sion) was or dered to follow Pierce closely, and to take the command of our left wing. All these movements wore made with the utmost alacrity by our gt►llant troops and Corn niandors. ' . The above, extracts are•correctly taken 114.411 the official despatches, of Gen., Scott. Those official despatches are now hereto wo,,niid may he seen and examined, at length, at my office, by' Whig or !democrat, at any time, and I would be Igtp. Ipy to have thorn examined by. every man wishing to know the truth. My object, in thus appearing before the people, is not to render myself conspicuous or notoriOus;but to ddjustiee to a distinguished Man—and as thb despatChes are entirely.too voliirnin ous to be 'published at length, I have-taken the only : methecll could thinknf to inform the public Where the . despat6hes can be had. Further extracts from Gen. Scott's despatches, will, in duo time be published, and extracts from Division General's des patches, in which Gen. Pierce is highly complimented.. J. S. FRANCE. • Registration of 'Births; deaths, and The Act of the Legislature, passed Jan narylBs2, providing for the registration of births, deaths, and marriages in the sev eral counties in the State, went into opera tion on Thursday the Ist , day of July.— The following synopsis of the provisions of the Act, and their several facts to be embraced in the certificate of returns to the Register of Wills office, will enable those interested, to know fully what the requisitions of the law are, until they shall have an opportunity of reading the entire copy of the Act : The Ist section declares that the law shall go into effect on the Ist day of July, 1852. The 2d, 3d' and 4th sections, direct that marriages, births and deaths respec tively, shall be returned to the Register of Wills in the form of a certificate, which certificate shall be signed by the person who certifies to the filets contained in it. The 2d section provides also, that under certain circumstances,thc parent may make the return of the birth to the office. Par ties are not subject to a penalty for neglect ing to make a return, except, as to deaths occurring in the city and county of Phila delphia. Physicians, &e., required to fur nish persons having .charge of burying grounds, previous to interment with n cer tificate,. in the form as provided for in the 4th section,and the persons having charge of the grounds are required to ,procure such certificate; and a physician or surgeon neglecting to furnish, or a sexton neglect ing to procure, or having procured the same, neglecting, within thirty days to re turn to the Register such certificate, arc subject for every offence to n fine of five dollars. The form of the return of a death must be signed by the sexton; but the act does not, however, require that the name of the sexton shall be entered on the register. The sth section embraces marriages, births, or deaths happening previousl y to the passage of the Act. The proo f in these cases must be upon oath or affirrria tion The 6th section provides for the return of deaths preliminary to letters testamen tary, &c., aro not required to be under oath. The returns made under this sec tion must contain the items set forth in the 4th section, ns far as it may be in the power of the party to return them. It does not say who shall make the return, but re fers to the 41h section, in which it is made the duty of the physician or surgeon to make the return within 30 days after the decease. The return must be made before the granting of letters, &c. If application is made fur letters on the estate of a person who died previously to the passage of the Act, it must be made under oath, as required by tho .sth section, and the registry entered among tho un current registrations. The 7th section refers to the action of the Orphans' Court, and tnakeS a previous registration of the birth in the Registers office necessary to time appointment of Guardians, &c., the proof to bo made un. der oath, when the Register will furnish a certificate, which the party applying for the minor will file in the office of the Clerk of the Orphans' Court. Every return is to be considered as an application to register,' and a failure to register accordingly within fourteen days after such application subjects the Register to a penalty of $lO. False swearing, or returning false cer tificates and false entries, are provided against in the 10th section. For registering births or deaths which took place, or of mat riages contracted previous to the year 1851, 25 cents are to be paid by the party ,making the return, bui no charge is made for administering an oath or examining a witness, unless the testimony is reduced to writing. For making current registrations since the passage of the Act, six cents to he paid by the County Treasurer. In the case of deaths, the return is to ernbrace the full name of deceased ; color sex, age, name of father, name of mother, occupation, place of birth, name of wife, name of husband, date of birth and death, cause of death, name of place, town, town- ship and county in which the person died, place or into anent, with the name of per- son making return, place of residence, and' date.

TEACIIER.—A good situation for a School teacher is offered at Curwensville. See advertisement. 07 - Our fair correspondent, The Tur tle Dove, is a welcome contributor to our columns. c• KrThe communication of "a Whig of '4O, '44 and '4B, giving'"reasons why no whip should vote for Scott, is too long for this week. We shall take pleasure in giv iag it in our next, and ask for it an atten tivo perusal, as it is a veritable document—, a sound egg. SETTING TYPE.--•The first page of this paper was put up in one day between sun and sun, by ono set of fingers, all except tho last two paragraphs in the last column. Now, typos, beat this if you can, and if you can't, let us know,and we will do it for DEATH FROM THE BITE OF A SNAKE. On Tuesday last a little girl,aged some Bor 9 yoars, named Lxvtsu3Tox, living with her Brother, in Bradford township, died very suddenly from the bite of a snake, ns is conjectured. The men were cutting grain, and the little girl was heard to cry in a distant part of the field. No further attention was paid to her for some ten minutes; but when found she was in con vulsions, and the blood oozing from her nose, mouth, &c. After being carried to the house she revived enough to tell that she had been bitten by a snake, but could give no description of it, and ceased to breathe in about two hours alter she -was supposed to have received the wound.— The bite was on the top of the foot, and supposed to have been inflicted ,by a hoop, or horn 'snake. WIIO SAYS GEN. SCOTT IS A COWARD ? In 1817 Gen. Scorr declined to meet Gen. JACKSON under the code of honor, on the ground of "religious" and "patriotic" aversion to the .practice of duelling. In 1818 ho had a misunderstanding with DE WITT CLINTON, of New York, growing out of some of the circumstances which had caused the difficulty bet Ween he and Gen. Jackson. In 1319, Do Wjtt Clinton was inaugurated as Governor of New York, and took an oath against duelling. Very shortly after this, Gen. Scott challenged Gov. Clinton to meet him in mortal combat. The Governor was obliged to decline, and in doing so, intimated to the General that 'he could not be answerable to him under the code of honor until ho (Gen. Scott) settled an :unadjusted difficulty with "one A. Jackson." The correspondence growing out of these difficulties, and embodying the above facts, have been presented to the country, and forthwith the Whig press send forth a tor rent of indignation at what. they construe into a chnrgo of coivardice on Gon. Scott, and parade all the battles of his life, from Lund Y's Lane down to the COurt-martial of Gen. Pillow—(at "mist . one engagement in ,which Gen. Scott's friends cannot pa rade a victory)—to prove his bravery.— Such a volcanic outburst of high-sounding indingnation is almost enobgh to disturb a man's nerves, and, to nil/6 him believe there,is reallysomething criminal in the publication of this history.' . But who says that Gen• Scott is a cow ard! The democratic press almost inva, riably give him credit for bravery, and a degree of military skill.that is denied by high authority. But aro we to be /I respon- - r sible for the whig construction upon these ! peculiar facts, or for the impression .they may . makd upon the public mind . ?. Wo. (that, is, the Democracy,) . say, Gen. Scott is a brave , min; notwithstanding this cor respondence show's that he preferred to challenge a man whom- he know could not fight him, to accepting the challenge ofone who was ready and 'Milling end his equal in every . particular. Some may say, by way of explanation, that ho did not like Gen. Jackson, and therefore would not fight him ;. others, that he was not in a fighting humor at that time. Some will say one thing and some another, but we think the fuir_and most charitable concht sion to come to in this affair is, that be tween the time that Gen. Jackson challeng ed him, and the limo that ho challenged Do Witt Clinton—a period of about two years—he had changed his "religious" and "patriotic" scruples, - and began to think that duelling - was not such a bad thing as some people thought. And why not 'Gen. Scott has often changed, and why not in this as well as in other respects? As all this occurred before the days of the "hasty , soup," wo can find no other version of the affair that is at all favorable to the General. Many men change their religious notions; and it is right that they should do so, pro viding the change is not from bad to worse; and who will say that Gen. Scott hasn't as much right to change as other people ? We say he has ; and we say that Gen. Scott is a great General, and that the whig par ty—that is, the Seward-Johnston whig party, is a great party. MORE lIELP! Wo have the authority of the Philadel phia Daily News for saying that that nu merous and highly respectable class of voters in Pennsylvania—the Friends, alias Quakers—will vote for Gen.. FRANKLIN PtEnc., This will add tremendously to the democratic majority in November next, and we cordially welcome them—though it be at the eleventh hour—into the sup port of correct and liberal principles ; and as it is from good . Whig authority, of course we will not doubt it. But does the Daily News know, that as often as . they intimate (they dare not make the charge direct) cowardice, or want of gallantry as a soldier, on the_ part of Gen. Pierce; ,they as often charge their own candidate, Gen. Scott, with cool and delib erate falsehood? We don't believe either. Nono but fools, or mad-men, would make such n charge. General Seott's proposed System of Naturaliza tion.—Most Outrageous Doctrine. In 1844, a communication was address ed to Congress, through the columns of the .Niztional Intelligencer, signed "Anzcr icus," suggesting a radical change in our naturalization Idws, and presenting a draft . of a law for the purpose, and enforcing its adoption in a long, labored and studied ar gument. This law we present to our readers below, and are only prevented from giving the argument accompanying by rea- 1 son of its great length. This production was recently brought to light by the editor of the New York Herald, whose Argus oyes never lets any thing escape, or pass into forgetfulness.— The editor charges Gen. Scott, with the authorship, decla ring his readiness to prove it clear as day ; and Col. Oles, a member of Congress, in his seat the other day al so made the same charge, and defied any friend of Gen. Scott to contradict or gain' say it. This they, did not do. Nor has either of the whig organs at Washington, in one of which the article originally ap peared, and of course they know all about it, dared to say a single word either in de nial or defence of it. 'rho authorship of, this monstrous proposition is, therefore, fixed upon the whig candidate for Presi dent as firmly as if he would avow it in every shape and form. That such a law as was thus proposed would be anti-republican,und of dangerous tendency to our well-being as a nation, is to speak of it in terms of meek submission. The old Alien and Sedition law, as hard as it was, was the perfection of justice, and wiso political economy, compared to this. Look at this laws—tripped of its legal and technical terms, and dono up in plain Eng lish: Hero it is :- 1. To reduce the time of naturalization from five to.threo years. 2. To exclude all aliens forever from thq right to vote in any public election whatever, except 3. Such , aliens as shall have served two years in the army or navy, who shall thereby be entitled to the rights of citi zenship, including the right of suffrage. 4.
