BRUTAL ATTACK.
John Davis, a Welehtnan, was meet shockingly
beaten, by two ruffians whose names are David
Sands and Benjamin Carp, at Guinea Hi 1, on
Saturday night last. Mr. Davis was stopping at
!the house of a friend, at which were assembled
some others, and was enticed by the men aboie
alluded to, to go out with them. They had not
proceeded far, however, before they attacked, and
gave him a violent blow which brought him to the
ground. After beating him until he became in
sensible, they robbed him of $3O, stripped him of
"big coat, and then, rolled him into an iron ore
quarry, a depth of about 20 feet, where he re
mained until consciousness returned, and then
sought his way to the house of his friend, in a
moat frightful condition. Hands, one of the men,
has beerf arrested and committed to jail to await a
trial., The other, Benjamin Carp, has cleared
nut.
THE IRON BUSINESS.
'..Never was there a period when this branch of
Industry was ea nearly prostrated. A few weeks
ago we noticed the stoppage of an extensive Iron
establishment in this State,by which a vast number
of hands have been deprived of their avocation.—
A very large iron establishment in New Jersey,.in
-consequence of the depression of the times. has
been compelled,to close, while others in its vicinity
are also compelled to curtail their business. Such
is the condition of the country—and such are the
effects of a Revenue Tariff.
RAIL ROAD IRON.
We are authurixed, to receive orders to supply
Railroads in this; vicinity with Railroad Iron, on
behalf of several English Establishments. The
Companies are 'yrow supplying Railroad Iron de
livered in New York. at $3B per, ton. Order-also
received for othei descriptions of Iron it equally
low rates. Our Iron dealers had better give us a
call, and thus receive their Iron from first hands.
It is hardly to be expected that our Iron works
can continue in operation at these prices, but if
our opponents persist in maintaining free trade,
the people Must accommodate themselves to cir
cumstances, until a, change can be effected, or at

A CERTAIN WAY
_OF BECOMING
DIM
The attention of gold seekers at present is di
rected towards California. It perhaps. would be
well enough, during the raging of the gold fever,
to inform our readers ar.d others intending to do
jood business by making ready sale., that a slow
but sure way to obtain gold is, to let the public
know whet is offered for sale. An excellent way
to do this, is through the columns of the•Minere'
Journal. The Journal circulates largely in
Schuylkill County. All the business men in the
County aro seeders of the Journal, and if the
merchants and mechanics of Pottsville and other
places, desire to accumulate gold upon eaefe and
sure plan, we advise them to make use of oar ad
vsttising columns.

COMMON SCHOOLS OF tilißirN,2l%
We have received the Report of the Superin
tendent of Common Schools. The System is in
a very flourishlog condition, and the increase in
the number of districts, schools and scholars has
been quite gratifying. The System is one of the
best in - the • country, and its benign influence is
being felt all over the State. Front the Report
we take the following: Whole comber of die-,

number reporting, 1,102; whole number of
schools, 7,845 ; number yet required, 486 ; aver

Since the Report ending June, 1847, there has
been an increase in the number of districts, of 57;
in the number paid, of 99 ; in the number report

The Schools on aril average are kept open about
5 months. The Superintendent urges the impor
tance of extending the time M 10 months.
Some valuable suggestions are raids; but our
space will not permit us to give them. The sala
ries of teachers, 'the Superintendent thinks, should
claim attention. The salaries the teachers receive
at present are considered low. In the table given
above the salaries average about $l7 37 per month,
but the reports to the department afford evidence
that in many of the districts, not more than six
dollars per mouth are given to females, and twelve
dollars to males.
IMMIZEZ!
This, it will be seen, is not a very high salary
for teachers to:receive, notwithstanding their du
ties are rathir onerous. A good system of educa
tion can only be kept op by paying good salaries,
and then employing none but the best teachers.
