For the Educational Column. To the Kditor of the "Educational Column. Inasmuch as you requested me to write an article ior the Educational Column and inasmuch as I am opposed to talking unless I have something to say, 1 thought I would offer the following essay taken from Tim othy Titcomb's last work. It is to the point and contains much sound sense and naked truths, which, if ouee assimilated with the common sense so generally ac knowledged to be possessed by the teach ers of Mifflin county, may result in some good. Certain it is that our schools should fit their pupils for the work of life. A. G. DICKEY. Huntingdon, Feb. 10th, 1862- American Public Education. SELECTED. A venerable gentleman who once occu pied a promineut position in a leading New England college, was remarking.recently upon the difficulty which he experienced in obtaining servants who would attend to their duties. He had just dismissed a girl of sixteen who was ..o much 'above her business' as to be intolerable The girl's father, who was an Englishman, culled upon him for an explanation. The em ployer told his story, every word of which the father received without question, and then remarked with considerable vehc meuce : 'lt is all oiciny to those cursed public schools.' The father retired and the old professor sat down and thought about it, and the result of his thinking did not differ materially from that of the father. It was not, of course, that there was anything in the studies pursued which had teuded to unfit the girl tor her duties. It was very possible indeed for the girl to have been a better servant in consequence of her intelligence. There was nothing in English grammar or the multiplication table to produce insubordination and dis content. There was nothing in the whole case that tended to condemn public schools, as such; but it was the spirit inculcated by the teachers of public schools, which had spoiled the girl for her place, and which has spoiled, aud is spoiling thou sands of others. Let us look for a moment into the in fluence of such a motto as the following, written over a school house door—always before the eyes of the pupils, and always alluded to by school committees and visi tors who are invited to make a ' few re marks 1 Nothing is impossible to him tcho wills.' This abominable lie is placed before a roomful of children and youth, of widely varying capacities, and great diversity of circumstances. They are called upon to look at it, and believe in it. Suppose a girl of humble mental abilities and hum ble circumstances looks at this motto, and says: ' I will be a lady. 1 will be inde pendent. I will be subject to no man's or woman's bidding.' Under these circum stances, the girl's father, who is poor, re moves her from schoool, and tells her she must earn her living, now I ask what kind of a spirit she can carry into service, ex ; cept that of a surly and impudent discon tent? She has been associating in school, perhaps with girls whom she is to serve in the family she enters. Has she not been made unfit for her place by the influence of the public school ? Have not her com fort and her happiness been spoiled by those influences ? Is her reluctant service of any value to those who pay her the wa ges of her labor? It is safe, at least, to make the proposi tion that publie schools are a curse to all the youth whom they unfit for their proper places in the world. It is the favorite theory of teachers that any man can make of himself anything that he really chooses to make. They resort to this theory to rouse the ambition of their more sluggish pupils and thus get more study out of them I have known entire schools in structed to aim at the highest places in so ciety, and the most exalted offices ol life. 1 have known enthusiastic old lools who made it their principal business to go front school to school, and talk such stuff to the pupils as would tend to unfit every one of humble circumstances and slender possibil ities for the life that lay before them. The fact is persistently ignored, in many of these schools, established emphatically for the education of the people, that the ma jority of the places in this world arc sub ordinate aud low places. Every boy and girl arc taught to 'be something' in this world, which would be very well if being • something' were being what God intended they should be; but when being ' some thing' involves the ttansforination of what God intended should be a respectable shoe maker into a very indifferent and very slow minister of the gospel, the harmful and even ridiculous character of the instruction becomes apparent. There arc two classes of evil results at tending the inculcation of these favorite doctrines of the school teachers—first, the unfitting of men and women for humble places; and second, the impulsion of men of feeble powers into high places, for the duties of which they have neither natural nor acquired fitness. * * * Under the present mode of education, nobody is fitted for a low placo and everybody is taught to look for a high one. If we go into a school exhibition, our ears arc deafened by declamation addressed to ambition. The boys have sought out from literature every stirring appeal to ef fort, and every extravagant promise of re ward. The compositions of the girls are of the same general tone. We hear of ' infinite yearning,' from the lips of girls who do not know enough to make a pudding, and of being polished 'after the similitude of a palace' from those who do not compre hend the commonest duties of life. Every thing is on the liigh-pressure principle.— The boys, all of them, have the general idea that every thing that is necessary to become great men is to try for it; and each one supposes it possible for him to become Governor of the State, or President of the 1 nion. 'J he idea of being educated to fill a humble office is hardly thought of, and every bumpkin who has a memory suf ficient for the words repeats the stanza: " Lives of great men all remind lis We can make our live* sublime, And departing, Icare behind us Footprints ou the sands of time." 1 here is a fine ring to this familiar qua train of Mr. Longfellow, but it is nothing more than a musical cheat. Itsoundslike truth, hut it is a lie. The lives of great men all remind us that they have made their own memory sublime, but they do not assure us at all that we can leave footprints like theirs behind us. If you do not believe it, go to the cemetery yonder. There they lie—ten thousand upturned faces, —ten thousand breathless bosoms. There was a time when fire flashed in those vacant orbits, and warm ambition pulsed in those bosoms. Dreams of fame and power once haunted those hollow sculls.— Those little piles of bones that once were feet ran swiftly and determinedly through forty, fifty, sixty, seventy years of life; but where are the footprints they left? He lived—he died—he was buried, is all that the headstone tells us. We move among the monuments, we see the sculpture, but no voice comes to us to say that the sleep ers are remembered lor anything they ever did. Natural affection pays its tribute to its departed object, a generation passes by, the stone grows gray, and the man has ceased to he, and is to the world as if he had never lived. Why is it that no more have left a name behind them ? Simply because they were not endowed by their Maker with the power to doit, and because the offices of life need mainly humble pow ers for their fulfilment. The cemeteries of one hundred years hence will be like those ot today. Of all those now in the schools of the country, dreaming of fame, not one in twenty thousand will be heard of theu —not one in twenty thousand will have left a footprint behind them. Now I believe a school, in order to be a good one, should be one that will fit men and women, in the best way, for the hum ble positions that the great mass of them must necessarily occupy in life. It is not necessary that the boys and girls be taught any less than they are taught now. They should receive more practical knowledge than they do now, without a doubt, and less of that which is simply ornamental, but they cannot be taught too much. An intelligent gardener is better than a clod hopper and an educated nurse is better than an ignorant one; but if the garden er and the nurse have been spoiled for their business and their condition, by the sentiments which they have imbibed with their knowledge they are made uncomfor table to themselves, and to those whom they serve. Ido not care how much knowl edge a man may have acquired in school, that school has been a curse to him if its influence has been to make him unhappy in his place, and to fill him with futile am bitions. To be Continued ffiIEEEMIEOHI The " Constitutional" Way A Slav* lately came into the camp of the lowa troops at Florence, Mo., mounted upon a high spirited horse, on which he had escaped from his master, who lives near St. Louis. Around his neck was a band of iron half an inch thick and nearly one and a half inches wide, not locked but securely rivited. Three iron prongs of lightning rod size were welded to this band at equal distances apart, and arose above his head about nine inches, with an out ward inclination. The iron had lacerated his neck, and the wounds had partially healed uuder the protection he had given to them by holding up the band with his h;.nds during the preceding days that he was concealed in a cornfield, but while ri ding the horse he could not hold it up, and it had opeaed the wound, from which there was a bloody, mattery ooze trickling down upon his broad shoulders. To the soldiers who surrounded him, with pity and astonishment, the negro plead earnest ly : 1 Picas# Mnssa soger take dis collar off my neck. I'se a good nigger; I'll do any ting you want me. De Illinoy sogers cut the collar off'er Ben.' After a labor of three hours the collar was filed off. It ap pears that the negro had carried this iron band upon his neck about three months, as a punishment for assisting his wife to escape into Illinois. The Cost of the War. Facts and statistics, with exact calcu lations in respect to the abundant resour ces of this country, tend somewhat, we think, to encourage those who are mourn ing over the great cost of the var. The valuation of the Census of 1860 gives in round numbers a property of more than sixteen thousand millions of dollars. Eight thousand millions of dollars was the valua tion for 1850. It is only necessary to cal culate the immense resources of the coun try, the enterprising and elastic character ofits people, its vast energiesofaccomplish ment, to appreciate something of its capac ity of endurance. It is idle to talk about ruining this country. Such language is uttered only to serve some end of doubtful loyalty; or else by those who look on the dark side till all sides become dark to them. Courage, then; let us listen to DJ counsels of fear. Out of this tremendous evil good will come. It is the part of good citizens never to despair of his couutry. We who remain home and share not the perils of the camp and the field have something to do to restrain the impatience of the hasty, to inspire the doubting, to support our brave solfiera in the field and strengthen the hands of the Government. There is a patriotism in cheerfully bearing the bur dens of taxation which, though not to be comparod with that of those who have giv en their lives for their country, is by no means to be lightly regarded. We pity the man who is so mean-spirited as to grum ble at merely pecuniary sacrifices to the cause of his country. lie only rises to the spirit which animated our fathers and of the present times who can say • take all I have, leave mo but the power to earn a living, and a government and a country as a rich heritage for my children.' This is a patriotism which is worthy to he mention ed with that of our brave soldiers in the field.— Boston Journal. PATENT Democracy.—The retired James, whose sands of life, &c., having been asked • What the present Democratic party was?

Battle of Logan's Cross Roads. Official Report of Gen. Thomas. IIKADQI*SKIERS FIRST DIVISIOK, "1 DEPARTMENT or THE OHIO, V SOMERSET, Ky., Jan. 31, 1b62. J Captain James B. Fry, A. A. G.. Chief of Staff, Headquarters Department of the Ohio, Louisville, Kentucky: Captain —l hare the honor to report (hat in carryiug out the instructions of the Gen eral commanding this Department, contained in Ins communication of the 29th December, I reached Logan's Cross Roads, about ten utiles north of the intrenched camp of the enemy on the Cumberland river, on the 17th inst., with a portion of the 2d and 3d brigades, Kinney's battery of light artillery, and a bat talion of Woolfurd'a cavalry. The 4*.h and 10th Kentucky, 14th Ohio, and 18th United States Infantry being still in the rear, detain ed by the almost impassable condition of the roads, I determined to halt at this point to await their arrival, and to communicate with Gen. Sohoepf. , Nothing of importance occurred from the time of my arrival until the morning of the 19th, except a picket skirmish on the 17th. I he 4th Kentucky, the battalion of Michigan Engineers and W-etmore's battery, joined oil the Ivitil. About half-past fi o'clock on the morning of the 19th the pickets from Wool ford's cavalry encountered the enemy advan cing on our camp ; retired slowly and report ed their advance to Col. M. D. Menson, com manding the 2d brigade. lie immediately formed his regiment, (the 10th Indiana) and took a position on the road to await the attack, ordering the4th Kentucky, Col. S. S. Fry, to support him, and then in formed me in person that the enemy w. re ad vancing in force, and what disposition he bad made to resist them. I directed him to join his brigade immediately and hold the enemy in check until I could order up the other troops, which were ordered to form immedi ately, and were marching to the field in teu minutes afterwards. The battalion of Michigan engineers and company A, 38th Ohio, Capt. Greenwood, were ordered to remain as guard to the camp. Upon ray arrival on the held soon after wards, I found the 10th Indiana formed in front of their encampment apparently await ing orders, and ordered them forward to the support of the 4th Kentucky, which was the only entire regiment then engaged. 1 then rode forward myself to see the .ene my's position, so as to determine what dispo sition to make ol my troops as they arrived. On reaching th position held by the 4th alry, at a point where the roads fork leading to Somerset, I found the enemy advancing through a corn field, and evidently cndeavcr ing to gain the left of the 4th Kentucky reg intent, which was maintaining its position in a most determined manner. I directed one of my aids to ride hack and order up a section of artillery, aud the Tennessee brigade to ad vance on the enemy's right, and sent orders for Col. McCook t. advance with his two reg iments (the 9th Ohio and 2d Minnesota) to the support of the 4fh Kentucky and 10th In diana. A section of Kinney's battery took a posi tion on the edge of the field to the left of the 4th Kentucky, and opened an efficient fire on a regiment of Alnhamians, which was advau cing on the 4th Kentucky. Soon afterwards the 2d Minnesota, Col.' 11. P. Van Cleve, the Col. reporting to tne for instructions, 1 directed him to take the posi tion of the 4th Kentucky and 10th Indiana, which regiments were nearly out of ammu nition. The oth Ohio, under the immediate command of Major Kemmerling, came into position on the right of the road at the same time. Immediately after the regimeuts find gain ed their positions the enemy opened a most determined and galling tire, which was return ed by our troops in the same spirit, and for nearly half an hour the contest was maintain ed on both sides in the most obstinate man ner. At this time the 12th Kentucky, Col. W. A. Iloskins, and the Tennessee, brigade, reached the field to the left of the Minnesota regiment, aud ovened fire on the right flank of the enemy, who then bpgan to full back. The 2d Minnesota kept up a most galling fire in front, and the 9th Ohio charged on the enemy on their right, with bayonets fixed, turned their flank and drove them from the field, the whole line giving way and re treating in the utmost disorder and confusion. As soon as the regiments could be formed and refill their cartridge boxes, 1 ordered the whole force to advance. A few miles in the rear of the battle field a small force of caval ry was drawn up near the road, but a few shots from our artillery (a section of Stan dart's battery) dispersed them, and none of the enemy were seen again until we arrived in front of their intrenchments; as we ap proached, the division was deployed in lino of battle, and steadily advanced to the sum mit of the hill at Moulden's. From this point I directed their intrench ments to be cannonaded, which was done un til dark by Standart and Westmore'a batter ies. Kinney's battery was placed in position on the extreme left at KusscU's house, from which point he was directed to fire on their ferry to deter them from attempting to cross. On the following morning Capt. Wetmore's battery was ordered to Russell's house, and assisted with his Parrot guns in firing upon the ferry. Col. Manzon's brigade took ppsition on the left near Kinney's battery, and every prepa ration was made to assault their in trenchments on the following morning. The 14th Ohio, Col. Stedman, and the 10th Kentucky, Col. Harlan, having joined from detached scirice soon after the repulse of the enemy, continued with their brigade in the pursuit, although they could not get up in time to join in the tight. Gen. Schotpf also joined me on the evening of the 19th with tha 17th, 31st, and 38th Ohio. His entire brigade entered with the other troops. On reaching the intrenchments we found that the enemy had abandoned everything and retired during the night. Twelve pieces of artillery with their caissons packed with ammunition, one battery wagon and two for ges, a large amaunt of ammunition, a large number of *m!l arms (mostly the old flint-
