Mr Editor —With your kind permission I i xrould remind the Teachers and friends of cd- : ueation generally in Mifflin county, of the tall which has been issued for a meeting " to organize a permanent County Association and make otlier arrangements to improve our Public Schools." The meeting will be held, a* per advertisement in the Gazette and the Democrat of this place, in the Town Hall, Lowistown, organizing at 10 o'clock, a. m., on ]fridav, 20th inst.; and as business of im portance" will be before the Convention, it is j to be hoped that the county will be represen- | ted by at least a majority of her teachers, and ! many other friends of education. The ob'ect of this Convention is " to orga- j nize a permanent County Association."- \ Heretofore we have had no permanent and properly organized Association. The Teach- j . rs' Association of Lewistown was called the i M-fflin County Teachers' Association, ttnd it ge.'ins that most of the duties of a County I association devolved upon it. Lately the | Constitution and By laws of this Association i have been revised, re modeled and reformed, j so as to name it "The Lewistown Teachers' j Association," and, as a natural e naequence j of this revision, we have now no County As sociation. We want one—we need cue—and 1 t us have one. It may be asked, "why has the Lewistown 'Teachers' Association done this?" For nu merous reasons, only two of which I shall give, as being the tuost prominent. The As- j sociali >n huti never been properly organized j nor conducted (according to the views of its 1 present members) tut a County Association. | Again, according to the old Constitution and i Bv laws "f the Lewistown Association, its oiht-.ei s were, ex officio , tlie officers ol the County Association —being itself the County Association. The members of this Associa te m, therefore, being of opiuson that, as since their organization otlier similar Associations had sprung up (prominent among which stands the "MoVeytown Association"/ it had : Ji v ate necessary "in the course of human , events" I hat ice should throw off "our little j Uriel authority." and have a County Associ i otion Crmed. distinct and separate from eve s' oihT, yet "one of many." .Perhaps, also, j it is known that, though <x officio the officers \ .if i! County Association, the officers of the i L'wistown Association (from what cause 1 kii -v to t) did not c -nduct the business of j the "annual meeting" last winter. Our oh ! u-ct, then, being to form a distinct ami per- j mate at ' ■•only Association, ami to have an i nteresting time i' r a day or two. it is earn- | estiy hoped that many will cheer us with the oght of th- .r presence. Something interest ng, besides mere organization, we expect to have discussions, reports, Ac. Come, all. Yours, truly, S. The Lancaster Bank. —An adjourned meet ing ol the stockholders of the Lancaster Lank was held in Fulton Hall, on Saturday. Mr. iluster, Chairman of the Committee i ! nine app anted ai last meeting, reported that th'M had agreed to submit, for the con • i i"i ;ti. n of the meeting, the following PROPOSITION : A capital i f 5400.000 to be subscribed in ♦d-a es of SSO each, to be paid in on the Ist of April, 1>57, in tbe circulation of the Bank, ••berks id depositors tit par, or old shares at th" rate of s•> each.

Bank to open as soon as its liabilities are absolved or p istponed under this arrange ment. Ait r reading the above Mr. 11. went on to explain the nature of the Your distinct prop ositi us whii ii it embraced. Mr. Ditmars offered as a substitute the follow ing plait: L-t the Directors of the Bank who had i •uimitteii faults of omission and ci iami-sion, making thcui.-civcs liable, loan to the Bank $10,060 :1 piece, (twenty-live in number,) up on certificates of loan, transferable as the stock is, with interest tit six per cent., paya ble si mi-annually, which would give a capital of sc.,ii.ooij a { ~r ice. jf 5i2.(100 is subscribed by each a capita! of $300,000. Mr. Ditmars argued in favor of this plan, which would give, with oilier argued assets available, a capital ot $460,000. Mr. liic-ier said the loan proposition had been considered in committee, but considered impracticable. It would work very well un it! they came to collect the money. Mr. Mark Gunnel was in favor of adopting tbe committee's proposition, and opening the hooks at once. They had lost valuable time by not doing so at the previous meeting. 1 he question was then taken on tlie substi tute and lost. Tlie report of the committee was adopted unanimously. Judge Long moved that a committee be appointed to obtain subscriptions to stock in tne city and county. Carried, arid the Chair directed to appoint the committee. The books were then opened, and over 2700 shares subscribed on the spot. 1 he t hair appiointed the following commit tee unucr Judge Long s resolution: N . W. Brown, Furree Brinton, Kinzcr I).

Abstract of the Report of the Secretary of War. The authorized strength of ihe army is now 17,891 men. The actual strength at tlie date of the reltirns, July 1, 1850. was 15,562. 'Fiie number ol enlistment made during ihe twelve months ending Septem- ! ber 20, 1856, was 4,440. The number ; of offers refused on account of minority and unfitness for service was 5,594. The number of casualties during the same time was 6,696 of which 3,223 were by deser -7 lion. All our Indian troubles in the West have ceased* except with the (Jheyetmes. j The disposition of the trooops is given in detail. It is recommended to extinguish tlie possessory rights of the Hudson Bay Com pany, as they owe no allegiance to our j government and would be disposed to ex ercise a powerful influence among the ln ! dians against our people if occasion requi red. A vigorous campaign has been projected ; 1 against the Florida Indians, General liar- ! ney commanding the military posts. Much space is devoted lo the considera- j i lion of the present system of military ' posts on the Western frontiers, and a com- i plete revolution of the whole system is | urged. 'File expenses at present are I enormous, without any corresponding hen- j j efit to the country or Irontiers. The great number of resignations in the 1 arinv shows the necessity lor an increase of pay. It evidences a policy injurious to professional pride, while the hard service ! and frontier stations of the officers require of them sacrifices which no other officers i of tlie government are called upon to make. ! The expense of living has been greatlv | augmented, and the pay is about the same |as it was fifty years ago. It is bad econ- j i otny the report continues, to drive the ac- j tive and intelligent lioin the service which they adorn. .1 few Mount lemon Speculation.— ■ A Washington correspondent of the Phil- ' fidelphta Inquirer writes:—Have i ever told you of a wild speculation here, on a small, scale? Just after leaving tiie Rail road Depot, one notices on the right a new i building of considerable dimensions, and | i evidently intended lor manufacturing pur poses o! some sort. It appears that some one or more adventurous individuals have purchased of the proprietor of Mount Vernon ali the trees and shrubbery left on j the estate, at a cost, it is said, of twenty ! thousand dollars. The building and ma chinery spoken ot will probably cost ten J thousand more, and tins ou lay is to he re ! imbursed hv the manufae.ure and sale ot : Washington or Mount \ ernon canes.— A ou will readily perceive that it will re quire a sale ol at least thirty thousand of | ihese canes, at as low a price as one dollar i apiece, in order to repay the original cap- j ilal invested. Ii is easy to sec that the ' speculation is a rabidly crazy one, and that the only party likely to make anything out i of it is the owner ol Mount V ernon, pro vided hp gets his price. But how will | thai sacred spot appear to American eves j when it shall have been denuded of every ; noble tree and graceful shrub, and meet ! the gaze with ail the arid sterility of a i j barren desert? I cannot avoid a mental j i connection ot such sacrilege with a course of conduct that would strip the rich gar- | ' incuts from an unprotected corpse.
