it would both have followed and en
dorsed, as it has done, the successive
and advanced steps taken by the ad
ministration on this subject. Has not
our leading in this matter been also
most unexpected?
And yet a?in, what do the many
ftad strange military checks which we
nave received during the progress ot
this war indicate ?
Take for instance, the causeless, and
otherwise unaccountable panic, which
seized our brave soldiers at the first
Bull Eon fight, and by which, when
victory was already ours, it was wrest
ed from us and given to the rebels.
Why was this, hut that, if victory
had then been ours, and the rebel cap
ital had fallen, and the war had then
finally closed, that slavery had re
mained intact. This would have been
the result. And so, victory, already
within our grasp, was Providentially
wrested from us, and given to our ene
mies.
Take again, thootherwiseunaccount
able failure of our noble array, to seize
upon the rebel capital, when, at several
times, such opportunity offered during i
the first peninsular campaign, and the
final victory of the rebels there also.
And does it not teach the same thing? i
And so I might go on, and refer you I
to the occurrence of what never ought
to have occurred, and what otherwise ,
J think never would have occurred. 1
I mean the escape of the rebel army |
after the battle of Antietam. and then
their escape again, in a similar, though j
to us seemingly less culpable way, after ;
the battle of Gettysburg.
Time will not allow me to enumer
ate further the numerous other similar
incidents of this war, nor need I.
Are not the incidents already cited
sufficient to indicate at once that the
design of all of them was, to allow
time for such an upgrowth of an anti- I
slavery sentiment in the North, as j
would result in the total obliteration
of the institution.
Finally, to what other cause can we
attribute the failure of our numerous,
well appointed and gigantic armies,
long since to have crushed out this
wicked rebellion ?
Let me ask at this point your opin
ion. Have not the number of men
sent, the number of war-ships built, j
and the amount of money expended,
been quite enough, according to all
human calculation, to have crushed the
rebellion long since, even if Provi
dence had stood aside and given us
nothing but fair play ? So I think.
Why, the great question which has I
so long puzzled our loyal Northern !
people is, "How is it, that with all
the forces enumerated brought to bear
against the South, they yet hold out
and the war lasts so long?"
To all this I would simply answer,
it is because that hitherto, Providence
has been baffling us. And it is my
settled conviction that he will continue ;
to baffle us, until either we shall volun
tarily give up the peculiar institution !
and so end the war, or until, by a still
longer continuance of the war, the in- j
stitution shall be so destroyed that it !
never can be again revived.
Such are, at least, some of the 'Tndi- 1
cations of Providence in our National j
Att'airs."
To the Teachers of Mifflin County.
Teachers of M Jflin County : —At the '
request oi seme ot your members, I have
consented to edit the educational column
for the present —will do so until our next
annual convention when an editor can be
duly appointed. In the meanwhile all
communications for that column will he di
rected to me.
I believe it is not customary for Super
intendents to write or deliver inaugural
addresses, and if it were, I would feel awk
ward in coming before you now after hav- i
ing already been engaged in my official ca- I
pacity. Yet even at this late hour, believ
ing that a lew words in reference to the
policy of the new administration, and hav
ing, as 1 think, really something to say, I
have concluded, though it be a departure
from custom, to venture a few thoughts.
First. I recommend to your attention
and urge upou you the necessity of a more
thorough, rigid discipline in your schools.
.Evidently in most schools there is no pow
er behind the throne to execute the laws.
I hey fall helpless, and are trampled under
hot as they proceed from his or her Royal
Highness. The great lack of this power
in schools generally, the prevailing disposi
tion of teachers to yield to the caprices of
T oung America, to gratify and indulge, to
do any thing in short but to insist upon and
secure prompt, unquestioning obedience, is
an evil of such growing magnitude, as'to I
threaten with destruction the fundamental |
design ot all schools, which is to nurture
sod establish in scholars a respect for law
and authority. You cannot, therefore, be
too earnest in your efforts for the removal
of this evil.
In the next place, I call your attention
to the importance of scholars having enough
and not too many studies. Too little at- ;
tention has beeu paid to this. Scholars
generally tl amselves, sometimes their pa- ,
rents, decide what and how many studies
they should have. It is the teacher's duty
to do this. Where, however, it is done by
the teacher, it is generally done no better. !
From his desire to give the scholar plenty
of work to keep him out of mischi?f, he
gives him too much. The consequence is
lessons are imperfectly learned. Scholars
are reproved and perhaps punished for fail- '
ing to do what it was impossible for them
to do. The effect upon the scholar must
be bad, either to discourage, tire and dis
gust him with his studies, or to make him
superficial and inacc urate in them. This
subject is considered of so much impor
tance by the educational men ot the State,
that it was made a subject for discussion at
the late State Teachers' Association. It is
certainly worthy ot your attention.
Again, it has appeared to me, for some
years, that a great mistake was made in the
time of scholars commencing Grammar
Also in the manner ot teaching it. No
other study is r-o badly taught—no other is
beiog so completely run into the ground.
Like a certain people of old, we are in
clined to run after some new thing.
hen, some years ago, Analysis ot Gram
mar first appeared, teachers generally ran
wild. Parsing was no longer of any ac
count —rules were to be ignored. Analy
sis was so beautiful—so delightful—was
everything. Children now of eight years
old could study the language scientifically.
Accordingly we had an 1 still have Ist, 2d
and 3d books on Grammar, adapted to the
various stages of development of children
from eight years upward Arid now we
have scholars studying Grammar from six
to eight years, who then as much
knowledge of the language as they ought
to obtain in as many months. Evidently
there is something wrong here. Better
far that scholars' minds be allowed to ma
ture sufficiently, before touching Grammar,
to take up an advanced work and finish it
in two or three sessions
I designed, for the present, simply to
call your attention to these three promi
nent evils of our schools. At some future
time I will give my views more fully on
each of them.
That the inexperienced may have the
advantage of the experienced teachers'
views, I would suggest the propriety of de
voting the educational column, tor some
time, chiefly to an interchange of views on
these topics. M. MOIILEII.

Chicago Blue Light Patent Democratic
Platform.
I/esolred, That this Convention does ex
plicitly declare as the sense of the American
people, that after four years of failure to re
store the Union, the experiment of war du
ring which under the pretense of military ne
cessity, or the war power higher than the
Constitution, the Constitution itself has been
disregarded in every part, and public liberty
and private right "alike trodden down, anil
the national prosperity of the country essen
tially impaired. 1 hat justice, humanity, lib
erty and public welfare demand that immedi
ate efforts be made for the CESSATION OF
IIOSIILITIES. with a view to the convert
tton of all the States, or other peaceful means
to that end, that at the earliest practicable
moment peace may be restored on the basis
of the Federal Union of the States.
Any one who can read can see from
the above that it is not Jef Davis who
is begging peace, but the northern
copperheads.

The October Election
It will be well for Union men to remember that the
present is not a mere political campaign in which the
issue at stake is a oolites f* r office. Far from it. The
man who tins fall votes for tae nominees oi the Op
position or Chicago-platform peace democracy, does
not alone give a vote for Johnston for Congress, for
Walters or Christy for Senator*, for Africa or Kearns,
for Assemblymen, or for Taylor for Commissioner,
but he votes for an endorsement of that b'ue-light
concern, and his vote will be so heralded throughout
trie land. Whatever reasons might exist under ordi
nary circumstances for supporting a friend or neigh
bor. there are none such now—for in the situation we
are placed there are but two parties, the one/or, the
other agninst our government. Ihe latter may talk a
great deal about Constitution, about law, and about
patriotism, but so long as they have more to sav
agaiust a government which, underditficultiesgreater
than any recorded in history, is endeavoring to crush
the Catiline conspiracy, than they have against the
conspirators, their fitness as rulers may well be ques
tioned. In tills view of the case, and it is the oulv
true one. w hat reason can be urged why any tneud of
the government should vote for either Messrs. Wal
ters or Kearns. What leading measure of the Nation
al or Siate Government, during the past year,tending
to crush the rebellion, has either supported? If there
is one, we must confess our ignorance of it, On the
other hand, we have frequently heard ascribed to the
first named sentiments of an ultra character, while
the latter has been instrumental in circulating the
New York Day-Book. New York News, ami other
sheets which n"t only openly advocated Disunion, but
even now continue to do so. Are you willing to trust
these men as legislators, and place in their hands the
power to carry out views winch would inevitably re
sult in rebel independence, in a dishonorable peace,
or in a total disruption of our country? Not an in
stance has occurred since the commencement of the
rebellion, where lukewarm men have been trusted
with power, where they did not use it to the detriment
of the Union. Witness May, Calvert aud others of
Maryland, Davis and Powell of Kentucky, Biddie of
this State, and many others. With all their professions
of love of country, reverence for the Constitution,
and obedience to iaw. the moment they took their
seats and voted, one would be almost led to suppose
that Southern rebels were the injured party, and tbat
the legal government and our gallant armies were
aggressors on the rights of the conspirators' We
say then to every republican, to every war democrat,
to every Union man, this is no time for experiment
or courtesy. VOTE FOR THOSE YOU KNOW TO
BE RIGHT, and there will be no room for after re
grets.
—Quite a number of copperheads in Penn's Valley,
Centre county, who have been advising ignorant men
to resist the draft have run away.
—M> rehants who put up the prices of goods be
cause gold went up, have not yet heard the news that
it has come down.
The Juniata Democrat accuses L. W. Hall, our
candidate for Senate, of drinking too much whisky:
Hoshl Mr. H. is not now and never has been fool
enough to swallow any such stuff.
—Park Benjamin, a well-known literary man. died
at his residence in Now Aork. on Monday evening,
September 1-th. in the fifty-fifth year of his age. He
was a native of Deuierara, in British Guiana.
—Major Elbow suggests that the MeClellan war de
niocracy wear cocked hats, and the Pendleton peace
democracy wear broadbrims, so that they can be dis
tinguished at sight.
—One of the mottoes of the copperhead demonstra
tion at Philadelphia last week was-a free election or
a free fight. it these peace sneaks are so anxious
for a free fight, why don t they go down to Grant ?
—The greatest victory for the rebels—greater than
fifty Manassases, and the only one that can give them
a particle of hope—will be to defeat the war party at
the incoming campaign.—Gen. John A. Logan , late
democratic M. C. from Illinois.
—'The patent democracy of Erie and Crawford
counties have nominated Dan Kiee, the circus clown,
as their candidate for State Senate. Should they ob
tain a majority, the coppe -heads will certainly need
one and Dan would probably suit them quite well
but what do honest democrats think of such a nomi
nation ?
—An Adams' Express office was robbed the other
day in New York State, and au agent or messenger of
the -ame concern out west hung himself. Neither is
a matter of wonder, for the messengers seem to be a
regular gang of peach and fruit thieves, while the
company has about as much conscience as the devil
or any other nigger. Of course messengers who will
steal fruit, will not hesitate long about money.
—Since the peace democracy have taken MeClellan
into tiieir care and keeping, our soldiers in the field
would be surprised to hear how our great generals
and their gallant armies are underrated. As an in
stance we could name two leading men in this town,
who insist that Grant's army has done nothing at all.
and one of them even went so far as to say that Grant's
army was baffled and defeated as soon as he crossed
the Kapidan. Vet these fellows expect the soldiers
to vote for MeClellan and his supporters!
A Greenback well Invested
A year agosevera! journals united in recommending
their readers to invest a Dollar "Greenback' in secur
ing that very excellent Journal for the HOUSEHOLD
including the Little Ones.) for the GARDEN, and for
the FARM, called the American Agriculturist. Many
persons were thus led to subscribe, and we believe all
who did so have been much more than satisfied They
have received the 23d Annual Volume of the Agricul
turist which is full of good thing.-, useful, practical,
and entertaining.and just now the Publisher is sending
out to each of his subscribers applying, a present of a
plant of one of the most remarkable Strawberries that
have ever been brought out. These plants, when sold
by the only other person having them, go readily at 75
cent- each. So the Greenback invested last year has
certainly pnui well. All we have now to say is. let all
others go and do likewise. —Notwithstanding the pres
ent advance in cost, the Publisher still offers to take
subscribers this month (September) at $1 a year, or
from now to the end of 1865 (fifteen months) for $1.15.
And still further, lie offers one of the most remarka
ble Stiawberry Plant*, sent free and post paid, to every
new subscriber who incloses 5 cents extra for oil cloth,
packing, and postage on the plant.—Our advice to all
is, send the Dollar (or the $1.15.) and the extra Scents
at once to Orange Judd. Publisher of the Agricultu
rist. at 41 Park Row, New York City, and get the paper,
etc. You will get a most beautiful, well illustrated,
practical paper,aud the cheapest one in the country,
to say nothing of the extra St raw be rev Plant, etc
TRY IT.
tY*b- We are often surprised to find so few Sewing
Machines in use, in our section of the country. In the
large cities, every family has its Sewing Machine, snd
they would not he without one for ten tunes its cost.
It i- certainly the most useful and economical inven
tion of the age, and we advise our readers to hesitate
no longer, but see to getting one of these labor and
life saving Machines. There are a great many kinds
of Sewing Machines, arid we have taken some pains
to examine into their respective merits, and we have
come to the conclusion that the WHEELER A WILSON,
HI OH EST PREMIUM SEWING MACHINE, is decidedly the
best.
These unequalled Machines are adapted 10 every
variety of sewing for family wear, from the slightest
muslins to the heaviest cloths. They work equally
well upon silk, linen, woolen and cottou goods, with
silk, cotton or woolen thread. They will seam, quilt,
gather, hem, fell, cord, braid, bind, and perform every
kind of sewing, making a beautiful and perfect stitch,
alike on both sides of the article sewed The sewing
will never unravel or wash out.
The Wheeler 4 Wilson Sewing Machines are so
simple that a child can work them witii ease. Printed
instructions are sent with every Machine, so that any
one can operate them without any trouble or difficulty.
Every Machine is warranted, and the money returned
if not entirely satisfactory.
Over Fifty Thousand of the celebrated Wheeler 4
Wilson Sewing Machines are sold every year, and yet
the demand is so great that they can hardly be sup
plied as fast as ordered. Machines are carefully
packed and sent in good order to any portion of the
country.
We hope our readers will write at once to the Wheel
er 4 Wilson Agency, No. 704 Chestnut street, Philadel
phia, and get one of their Almanacs for 1565, and
specimens of work done by the Machine, all of which
they will send by mail, free of charge, to any address.
We should be glad to see an Agency for the W heeler
4 Wilson Sewing Machine established in our locality.
We know them to be tho best, most simple and cheap
est machine in use.
Extracts from the Address cf the State
Central Committee
i ' s no ground. then, for hope or peace
through compromise; no hope of permanent peace.
1 here l* no such discharge in this war. Those who
go before the country upon such vicious pretexts ar
not deceived themselves, however much they mav
deceive the ignorant and unsuspecting. Trha"g*e
Mil deception upon them in a matter so Unmistakably
clear would be equivalent to charging tliem with ini
oeclllty. They do not deceive themselves fh s
pretext of seeking the defeat of Mr. Lincoln that
peace may return to our borders, covers a sinister
purpose. If they wish peace they can have it in hut
two ways—in a cowardly abandonment of the struggle,
followed by disunion, or bv a more vigorous it nT.-sil
ble,i prosecution of the war." 1
A et it i- to such a peace as this that our opponents
invite you. They ask ymtt apflhtges for a.an who
either is pledged to eucii a peace, if elected, or no
is determined on a war grander in scale ami blond i-r
in results tban the world has yet witnessed. There
cau be bat two i-.-ues out of the present difficulty,
the intelligent treenieti of Pennsylvania need not be
led like children. They will not fail to comprehend
the nature of these issues, and to choose between
them, lu so choosing, they choose f,, r tf;cir children
and their children's children. Thev can do nothing
m these pregnant times that shall hot cause coming
generations either to revere or to despise them. The
re-election o: Mr. Lincoln, and h el -ctiou of Andrew
Johnson as his associate, will indicate to the chiefs of
the rebellion tnat the war for Union and permanent
peace must go on until tnese ends shall be atta.ned
It will also signify to the nations of Kurope that the
people ot the whole I nited .Slates will. -oon or late
become a united people, and the Government remain!
as it has heretofore been, a star of hope to all the op
pressed peoples ot the civilized world, and an ever
lasting monument to the wi-dom of the grand old he
roes who conceived it. If we could basely afford to
abandon the struggle now. the world, mankind, could
not afford the sacrifice. If w could artord to bear
the shame and wear the shackles of defeat so craveniy
invited, our children couhi not stand erect under the
deathless repioaeh of our behavior. As men. a.- free
men. as patriots, we have no choice but to stand bv
toe Government as administered. The alternative
presented by our opponents is disunion and dishonor,
which is uational death."
Uur v u-t , nous.armies are bravely doing their duty
in tile fields. W hat is required ot the loval men of
ennsyivama is a great victory at the pohs'm October
and November. It is not oniv essential that the Fed
eral Government and the policy inaugurated toeru-h
rebellion should be endorsed by the re-election of
A irahani Lincoln, but at the coining contest in Octo
ber, it is important that in the election of Congressmen
and members of the Legislature, a> ma iv dTstii t- as
possible should be carried bv the loval candidates
now in and to be put into the field" We want the
moral effect of overwhelming majorities as well as
the prestige derived from military power and force
7 . ex L ,> V l l to l ' lo " e a-" much by the influence
of the ballot as the bullet. We hope to -top the -ifu
mon of blood by the utimistakeable demonstration at
the polls that the war is to be waged till the rebellion
is ended, and that hostility will not cease while there
is an armed traitor in the field. Much a cessation of
hostilities cannot be obtained by compromise or ne
gociatiuii. It mu-t be achieved by the stern influence
of force; by the unmistakably clear and well-defined
proois of the ability of the Government to cope with
and conquer all or any of its foes.
"Men of Pennsylvania, the issues are now before
you for consideration and decision. You must abide
tiie result, as yon establish it for good or evil. We
ask you to support Abraham Lincoln, because we be
lieve his re-election will fally vindicate the authority
ot the National Government, and tullv establish the
fact that the free men of tlie loval States re able to
gattain the existence ..f Union and the Government
against the hazard of opposition from abroad or at
home. Ue ask you to assist not only in the re-elec
tion of Abraham Lincoln, but in the election of all
loyal candidates for Stale and Federal offices, because
their triumph will recognize our nationality—a result
which must contribute to the inaintenan<-e'of the .Na
tional Government. It needs no argument of our
own to establish this position, because our political
opponents now antagonize us to achieve entirely the
opposite results.
Can we hesitate —can there be any trust or confi
dence in men placed in nomination by such men?
Mcu of family, hesitate; men of property, hesitate;
young men. who hope to enjoy both these blessings,
hesitate before you cast your votes for nominees
made by such agencies."
—The 40.0011 copperhead meeting in Peoria. Illinois,

—An engine exploded on the Taugascoofac road.
Clinton county, ou Saturday a week, instantly killing
John Saltsman. engineer, and Andrew Greek and his
wife, and fatally wounding George Struuk. fireman.
—The Democrat has a mousing complaint of the
Court House being occupied by the" Union Conferees.
We do not know bv whose authority it was so occupi
ed. but that's not as bad as making it, what it used to
be, a democratic gambling hole.
—The associate editor of the Democrat (W.) speaks
of Ben Wood, Vallandigham. Ac., as a small faction
of extreme peace men. who have been an obstacle,
dead weight. Ac., to the democracy! Query? How
many weeks ago is it since the Democrat with nine
tenths of the patent democracy in this county were
as exyjeme peace men as Ben' Wood? And If Ben,
Yal. :iffl others were obstacles and dead weight*, are
not ttie Democrat. Abner. Andrew. John W.'. Oliver,
the trio of doctors, Father Ephraim. J.Stewart. Fred,
and all the peace geese of Decatur and other districts
in the county, in tne same category ? Verily they are.
WAR NEWS.
This morning's mail had not arrived as
we go to press. We learn that an imnoi
tant dispatch passed over the wires yester
day, giving an account of the defeat of
Early's army at Winchester by General
Sheridan s forces. The rebels, it is said,
lost between seven and eight thousand
men in killed, wounded and prisoners, to
gether with cannon flags, &o.
General Sheridan reports that on Tues
day a reconnoissance was sent to the cross
ing of the Summer Point and Winchester
roads over the Opequan Creek. At the
same time Wilson and Mackintosh's bri
gade dashed up the Winchester pike, drove
the rebel cavalry,and captured thp Bt'i South
Caroliua regiment. Our loss was very
light.
The rebels made a raid upon our cattle
corral opposite Harrison's Landing on Fri
day, and captured about 2500 head. The
guard, consisting of about 200 cavalry
men, were also taken prisoners. Our cav
alry was sent in pursuit, and it was thought
that both raiders and plunder would be
captured.
From Sherman's army we have a dis
patch stating that our is at East
Point, the centre is in Atlanta and the left
at Decatur. The Georgia militia are said
to he deserting from Hood's army and the
mountains are reported to he full of them
General Averili has recently had several
skirmishes with the rebels in the Shenan
doah Valley.
