FATHER ANTHONY BET AND GEN. TAYLOR.
The kind treatment extended by Gen. Taylor
to the lamented Father Anthony Bey, irbo was
cruelly murdered between Monterey. and Co-
margo, by the Banchero'a, places the character of
the old veteran in its proper light before the
American people. Humanity, courage, and li
berality, 'constituted the latdingsoul prominent
characteristics in the character of the " Hero of
Baena Vista." The October number (1347) of
the United States Catholic Magazine, the,efficial
organ of Arch-bishop Eccleston, after noticing the
appointment of Father Rey to a chaplaincy m the
army of the United States, hie kind reception by
General Taylor, and his untimely and cruel
death; says—

" was more capable of justly estimating the cha
racter of those with whom he was placed in con
tact than General Taylor, and no one was more
ready than he to admire noble and generous =-
thins. Simple even to plainness in his babitsand
appearance. without the least display of ostenta
tion, or apparent desire to attract attention to
himself , he was, nevertheless, pessesssd by na
ture of a mind endowed with peen and strong
perceptions, capable of 'vigorous thought, and
trained by study to

After describing the foo lmurder of Father Boy,
by Canules and his band of miscreants, thelda
gazine continue :—" Thus died at his post, like
true soldier of the cross, Father: Anthony Rey,

hero of Palo Alto, Monterey and Buena Vista,

ther'Rey."
The above extract from the Cad:Olio Magazine
furnish the best reply to the malignant slanders
of the Locnfoco papers against General Taylor.
Gen. Taylor never advised nor recommended the
plunder and desecration of the Catholic churches
of Mexico. in imitation of certain Loco Foca pa

candidate in the *sense that would make one. This
is the sum and substance of my meaning. and
this is the purport of the facts and circumstances
attending my - nomination, when considered in

These words, to firm, so dignified, and at the
same time of such admirable justness, define, with
almost mathematicaleraetness, the position which
General Taylor has always. intended to take and
to maintain. With 'rat weight will they fall

lar Facts about (he Cholera.—lt has been
frequently remarked. (sue the New York &prase)
that during the cholera in New York, in 1832,
that there w o es no electricity in the atmosphere;
but a correspondent of the Journal of Commerce
says his recordeahow the contrary of this, and that
ten thunder stormi were active bete daring that
period. A venter in Chambers' Edinburg Journal
maintains that electrical changes are the true cause
of such migratory diseases as cholera and plague;
and, indeed, of all . epidemics. The true remedy,
therefore, is the purification of the atmosphere,
sod chief object to effect this is CAIOPint Gas„
which is an ingrelient in common oak. Whole
streets and towns can be fumigated with chlorine
gas as mmHg as single dwellings. "In 1832, the
town of Dumfarline, in Scotland, was affected with
cholera born the 3d of September until the 834 of
October. At that date, every street, lane and alley
was fumigated with chlorine gas. Within live
day. the pestilence was entirely annihilated. Ink
Edinburg the gas was used, but rather lste, and
in several other towns with like effect. It was
ascertained beyond a shadow of doubt, and to this
fact we beg the earnest attention of out readers,
and the public at large, that every house to the
affected districts in whiCh chlorine gas wee used
as a disinfecting agent in the cholora of 1832,
enjoyed en absolute immunity from the distrase,ind
this fact is the great preservative against that
frightful disease, and a penis', proof that Cholera
owes its origin to electrical changes in the atom.

RAILROAD AND CANAL.
We find the following in the Daily News of
Wednesday. We have no room to make any
comments on this subject now. After the elec..
tion, we will advert to the subject:
..The arrangement between the Reading Rail
. oad Company and the achnylkill Navivnlon
Company, which we have before mentioned, is
said to be something like this :—The toll on the
canal to be 75 cents per ton; the toll and freight
on the Railroad $1,65 per ton. These are the
minimum charges. At these rates the railroad
guarantees to the canal one-third of the carrying
business—that is to say, if the whale amount of
Coal brought down in the course of the season
should reach 2.100.000 tons. and the Cllllashould
bring down less than 700,000 tons of that amount.
the Railroad will then pay to the canal, freight
equal to the deficiency. If some such arrange-
ment as this is entered into and faithfully observed,
we thrill hope to see dine works paying to their
enterprising owners a liberal return on the outlay
of their construction."

have come to the conclusion that it is well calculated
to Impart a fail and clear understanding of figures, as
applicable to the business transactions of the country,
and =ray suck a work as should be introduced moth°
schools throughout the State of Pennsylvania. The
work is full and comprehensive. and treat. of several
subjects which are often omitted to elementary works,
among which I was panicularly pleased to notice,is that
of "Practical Mensuration." A familiar acquaintance
with the principles therein developed would form an ex.
salient basis for an ordinary mathematical education.

Without hesitation, that in my opinion it is decidedly

The examination which I have been tibia to give Mr.
Ticknor's '•Medea of Arithmetic," tba Columbian Cat
tutelar, Youth's Columbian Caientathr, with Keys and
♦rithmetial Tables, has vatitfled me of Its great supe
riority to other systems. It Is an original work—origi
nal in its plan, arrangement ■nd questions, and that
the advantage. resulting from Its general introduction
would much more than compensate for the temporary
inconvenience of making- the ereltanes. Tho system
In my opinion should be introduced into every school.

Respected Sir :—After several years' practice in teach

convinced that among all the arithmetic* by different
authors; with-Which I have 'become acquainted there
are none equal to your Colombian Calculator. I have
had your Calculator In my school for more than two
years, and am confident I have scholars farther advan
ced than they could have been with the use of any other
arithmetic that I Lars meal From a cursory view of
your Youth's Calculator, I am BO well satisfied that I
intend to Introduce it Into my school as soon as oppor
tunity may present. Yours respectfully,

Almon Ticknor, Esq.—Dear Sir :—A (ter such exam
ination of your Columbian Calcutator, (both the small

have no hesitancy in according with the general high
recommendations it has received Dom other quarters.
It is clear, welt digested, suited to ibis country, and suf.
Ociently comprehensive for all practical purposes. You
have my best wishes for a Vormorate ran" of the work
—it deserves it. Truly yours. itcc..

Mr. Ticknor—Dear Sir have examined yotir book
entitled the "Columbian Calculator," and can say I am
much planned with item:intents. It combines great per-.
spicustrof arrangement with originality and excellence
of matter. Long thnoreticarexplanatious, useless' to
young students, and all else not highly practical and
useful is wisely excluded horn its pages. I think it
well calculated for all primary schools. The work it
self bears evidence of the ability and experience of its
author, and to those who may have occasion to use or
examine it, It will be its own best recommendation.

The following communications were written by two
of the beat arithmeticians In the country: '
[From the Easton Sentinel ]
Mr. Editor :—The acquisition of the science of num
bers, as arithmetic is called, is one of much importance,
and occupies the "going to school," time of our juve
nile existence. In acquiring this knowledge, books are
necoirtn*Y, although in leaching, a teacher should not
confine himself entirely to them, but oral instruction
should be resorted to. ,We have a great variety of sys
tems of arithmetic in use, but for the most part, they
are not nosily what I think an arithmetic should be :
as wind in it. Juvenile state has to grapple with this
Menet*, it should be madens interesting as possible. It
should be devoid of all extraneous, or Irrelevant matter,
—simplicity should be the principal feature. fly sim
phenyl I do not intend mental calculations, flgures of
birds, apples, marbles, &c.,—seeing little arithmetical
knowledge can be gained, but by the use of the slate.
The
and
rules should be stated as briefly as possi
ble, and in language that the scholar, with • little help
from the teacher can easily comprehend. The elate
pies under each rule should be as varied and as practi
cal as possible, and the DEcltia.t. Coasters of our
country, so far as the practical pants concatne d.sho old
mevall to the exclusion of all others. lam prompted
to these remarks by the appearance of a new work on
arithmetic. called the "Columbian Calculator," by A.
Ticknor of this place. This book meets my views of
what an arithmetic should be. better than any I have
ever seen, Indeed I do not see much room :or improve
ment Mr. Ticknor has also lately published a small
book or arithmetic for beginners, which io my opinion
is admirably adapted as an Initiation to this IMO, and
will be the most popular work of the kind ever pub
lished. The two together forming a complete system
and Witter adapted to the Use ofAmerican citizens than
anything else.
If recommendations are any proof of superior merit,
then surely Mr. Ticknor's work stands unrivalled. for
no work of the kind can coMparewith it in this respect
either for number, or weight. The author has labored
hard and long in effecting hliobject. and deserve, well
of the community, and I frog he will reafte in the s t ale
of his work, that petuniarycompensation which be cer
tainly merits.. .
(From the Elston Journal.)
Mr. Editor:—The grand object in a course of elemen
tary education should ever be. the securing a sure and
permanent foundation.. It Is seltarkient. thit if thte
solid foundation be eat secured. the future la I ante
teacher will become entepatstively valueless, end the
standard of the pupils' attainments necessarily super.
Bele. The well-edacated teschor will clairolittle sym

cure an anneacent thine school, will hastily rear
a supentracture that has but sand nor ha foundation.
A is eminently due the young sebotare. and due th e
plieher himse l f. that he should advance them by speed•

in those elements, he will proceed (radially. laying
