The undersigned take pleasnre in announcing to Coal
Operators and • others, that. they are manufacturing 'a

_better than any crimped wire Screen in use. The seg
ments turned out by us ain be bent to any circle re
quired. We also guarahtee that the mesh will always
retain its original size until entirely worn out. In the'
crimped wire Screens the - meshes frequently clip,. and
.lose the proper mesh, before the Screen As half. worn
out.. We manufacture any sized mesh of our New
Candiination-Screen, used in the trade. . . •
larMr. Diehth, who was associated with.ldr. Beach

in. the manufacture of their new Coal Screens of all de

MORE DEMOCRATS IN FAVOR OF NEGRO
SUFFRAGE IN THE SOUTH.—The Philadelphia
Press of Tuesday last says:
"We print below an able and interesting
letter from a gentleman' well known in this
city as an active and influential life-long
Detnocrat. Few men are less likely to be
influenced ia favor of negro suffrage ,by
donceived opinions ; but the change of senti
ment produced in his mind by a short inter
course with Southern society is parallelled
by other instances within our knowledge.
It is clear that the initiatory steps to secure
'the restoration of the seceded' States to their
old relations with the-Union must and will be
made, under the adspices of their provisional
Governors,, by the loyal white : men only—
the negroes being debarred from the right of
suffrage by s
the constitutions and laws m ex
istence prior to secession, which' regulate
the first legal movements towards reorgani
zation. ,But it , nevertheless rernains with
Congress to pass judgment upon the recep
tion of members from the seceded States,•and
if the sentiment described by our correspond
ent.is not essentially modified ; if it is clearly
shown that the, rebels have learned neither
wisdom, patrii tlsm, or the virtue of submis
sion by the teachings of the war, and, 'that
their only ohjeot in "coming back into aid
the Union" is to organize a new insidious po
litical warfare against the' perpetuity of the
Republic,-we apprehend it will be found as
difficult for disunion Senators and Represen
tatives to regain their old "seats in Congress
as it was - easy for them to vacate tfibse po
sitions in 1860-61. The President clearly
had no right to insist uraln . negro suffrage as
a necessary preliminary to reorganization.- 1
lie has given to the people Of the Sciuth an
opportunity to make amends for past errors
and crimes by the exh;bition of a loyal spirit
in future. But if geheroFity and iriaoanim
ity are to be repaid only by new Svidences of
treachery and treason, ..a remedy even for
such baseness can be applice:
[Correspondence of the Press.]
: Moan.; ALA., June 21, 186i5....
I hive come down to this part of the court
try with the intention of casting my lot with
it for the future, and feel inpelled to send you
a line to tell of my impressions'of the people.
I have been, for some six weeks, in daily
contact with Southern-people of all- political
shades, and, though lam a poor talker, am
a good listener, and not a very bad hand at
forming conclusibns from- a great deal of
hearing: : 1-. came to the Gulf States full of '
very tine thedries about-the necessity of edu
cating the negro, - before we could extend - to
him the privelege of suffrage. He iwasig
norant ; he was bigoted ; he was prejudiced;
he could not be,trusted - with the privileges of
a voter until he had attained a: certain stand
ard of education. • Well, sir, I was never
farther away from the truth inmy life.., I
.have listened by the hour to the familiar, so
cial,ntircstrained talk' of Southern people
and . I have been sorry to conclude, from- all
that I have heard, that the damnable heresy
of the State-right Joctrine, upon which, with
imagined evils threatened to the institution
-
of slavery, they
. based their acts of -secession
and rebellion, Is as deeply;rooted in their
convictions as it ever was. They - have failed
to establish the success of . their principles at
the bayonet's point and the cannon's month,
but those principles :lie as near to the hearts
of the great mass of them as ever, and true
loyalty to-the Government; as constitutiti P g a
principle with the mass of 'the people at:the
North, is entirely foreign to the breasts of the
masses in-the South. The same hostility that
was operly displayed in =la exists secretly in
the breasts of the Southern. people, - and is
ready at any time to exert' itself, no longer
in overt acts, but in 'every possible pacific
way to thwart the unity and the progress of
the -Republic. On the 9therlisod, the negro
has but one principle and one affection. His
principle is that of devotion to the Union;
his-affection heart-whole for the cause that
has. - restored him to manhood. ••No doubts
of the justice of the - cause cross his mind.
No clouds of casuista' raising obscure his
Vision. His, instincts alone- point out to
him the path he is to -tread- as a free man,
and point it out unerringly. Who, so safe
to, trust with the ballot of a freeman 'as he ?
Can demagogues lead bum astra,y With arts
and sophistries ? I trow hot. may not
know so Much of book-learning as his paler
skinned brother, but be is less! likely to be
deceived in what pertains **the advancement
of all members of the human family,..himself
included- - And if you could see, .as I have
men, the ooloredpeople of these Southern cit.;
les, sittingg, it their Goer-steps,' in the moon
light, on hot evenings, teaching each other
to spell and tncamt, -regardless of the .aon
meats of those who passed by, you ~would
not be stow in coming to the belief that even,
the supposed amount of cidacatiownecessary
to enable themto vote ihtelligently
_will 'not
be long Wanting: I,' for one,, contrary ; to, all
iny'previiins expectations, am fulty'conviribed
that the only aafetyfor tho.Sourki-is 42 the
extension of free suffrage to the people of all
colors, and I mean to throw myself into the
advocacy of this cause with all my . energy:
Far betterta the instinct that teaches loyray
to the Union. that the false-.education, that
makes Statealighte traitors: /ball we trust
the futon, of our. country to the instinct that
inevitably,Teids to the' right, or to the educa
tion sophistry that inculcates whit is false
We are by 110 means reedy for a ream
struction under the domination ,of defeated
but unconvinced tridtcits. °' .We beveled :a
terrible war; let us not cast away its -fruitsk
Let us have militto goVernment in the
Southern States until the sentiments of true
loyalty tteght to be felt, dr, if we must have
civil governtnents reconstructed,' let thdse
who have every cause to love the Union not
be put aside, while its interests are _confided

Political." buinmere " seem to rule the
movements of both Parties In this State just
now.. The De started out . for the
campaign e,t, an early day - with—banners
streaming, ready for any new device that
might be•deemed expedient, and they called
their convention to meet in June to nominate
a State ticket, and _adopt . Buck principles as
might promise them &show of success. In
.due time the Unipn convention was called to'
meet oh the 19th inst., and a full attendance
earnestly urged, as business of 'great IMpoit
ance was to be presented; -So 'fiar,t all was
progressing favorably on. . aides; but soon
after the death of President Lineoh4 the bum-
mers about the skirts of the dilapidated Dem
ocratic camp, be to snuff'the flesh-pots
-
afar oft and they ha ve made the' scattered
remnants of the coppery army suspendhostil
ities while the bummers attempt to crawl Irv.
to Johnsan's camp and bear off an assort
ment of plunder. The bummers pretiall, and
Mr. Ward p9stpones his - convention until
August, to: . gime his flanking columns - a. fair
chence_to bring in a,.supPly of mules, geese;
asses, negroes,..old clothes, ~and any other
plunder to appeatie the cravings of his fain
"'shed followers. It was meet for Mr. Ward
so to do, for his political larder is entirely
empty, and his lean, lank, cadirierous adhe"
rents are ready for any port in. .a storm. If
they can crawl into the presidential kitchen
through'the hick door, or'down the chim
nny, or under ground, It matters not hew
black, or dirty, or ragged they may be when
they get there, only so that there may be a
few crumbs of plunder for them to feed up
on ; and he does wisely, because be cannot
do anything else if he would, to allow his
discordant, belligerent and starving army to
tum bummers en masse, and; feed on any
husks which may - be found in any of the by
paths of politics. That Ward should turn
bummer himself, and lead his whole motley
crew in the bumming trade politically, we
therefore, conclude - to' be themost rational
use that can be - made of his odd remnants of
political power. True it may not, pay, but as
nothing else will pay for that organization, it
may as well go bumming with one chance in
a million as to stay within its own metes and
bounds and starve.
• But bummers seem to beset the organiza
tion of the Union party also, and General
Cameron has capitulated to the bummers of
hiS camp. The,-Union convention had been
called for the 19th instant, and so far as we
know - Union men generally were prepared
for it. But it seems the bummers were-buz
zing around prospective United States sena
tors, embryo governors, and hungry contrac
tors, and they have frightened the comman
der ont of his senses, compelled him to re
cede from 'his chosen poSition, and retreat
withotit day- into indefinite chaos politically.
Were the Union bummers afraid that they
might get ahead, or behind President John
son?--that they. might be guilty of an act of
impolicy by telling -the truth and, standing
squarely up in behalf of our national and .
State . administrations and the principles on
which they:were chosen? There can be no
other solution of this 'triumph of the tpoliti
cal in the 'Union party ;,and_ now
that the wrong has been done, the method of
redress is to Bs the earliest day, for the. Un
ion convention that.is practicable after the
meeting of „he committee, on the 19th. It
won't-hurt anybody's claims 'for senator who
has a ghost of a chance now ; it won't make
or unmake anybody who wants to be gover
nor, • and if it does distress the retinue, of
camp -followers who are trembling lest Pres
ident Johnson js as corrupt as themnelves,
and may depirt from the principles which
triumphed by his election, it will do no ma
terial harm. Let the bummers ply their vo
cation to their hearts' content ; but the Uni-
on organization has, reseued the republic
from traitors - north and south by its - scatchless
felelqy, and it cannot afford to go mousing
now into the dirty sluices of the bummers to
perpetuate its trunnphs. While ilia success
ful it must have bummers.; but while they
prey on its plunder in imitation of the Dem-
ocraey, let the. Union organization-maintain
its and never hesitate to unfurl its
banner to the breeze and declare its doctrines
,to the people whose great cause it . has
'brought through fearful tribulation_to the
crowning victory of the nineteenth contury

The next annual meeting of the. Pennityl-
Vania State Teachers' Association will be at
Meadville, in Crawford County, on Taira*,
the Ist, Weduesday;the 2d; and Thursday,
the ad of August,, 180. Further and full
particulars will be given by the chairman of
the Executive Committee, Prof: Ntryers. ' Ail
the usual preliniinary arrangements for travel
and for an interesting and large .assemblage,
are in progress, and it is expected they
be successful. . • • . -
This will be the first gathering of the tient
hers of the Association in the North-western
portion o 1 the State; and it is to be hoped
that the home teachers of that quarter will
meet their most distant professional brethren
and sisters in such num be rs, as to show their
appreciation of the attempt to • explore that
hitherto little , known .region; for, not only
will this be the first meeting of the Associa
tion in North-western Pennsylvanis,but on
.no former occasions have its teachers met
those of the other quaiteris in any considera
ble.numbers. . .
Meadville is
.a pleasant:place, with an in
telligent population, a respectable college
and good schools. It is now also readily so- .„
ce,ssible by railroad. There is every reason
to expect a good meeting, and there will be
no excuse for a failure.
Now that the rebellion is crushed and the
teachers of the State, who took part in pit
ting it down, are about to resume their own
proper functions and 'the school system its
peaceful state of activity and prosperity, all
should exert themselves to give full efficiency.
to every means for its improvement and in
creased energy. Amongst these, the past
proves that none are more efficient. than the
well considered doings and counsels of out
State Association. Therefore, let the future
feel, with 'increased force'and effect, the ben
eficial results of its agency, To do this' to
thetumost, let there be the largest turnout at
:Meadville yet seen in the State. -
The State Associations of New York and
Ohio meet about the same time but not on
the same days as ours, and it is hoped that a
number of their, members will be at Mead-

tune sung by the old row when she died
What a discord!" Jane stopped singing,
dropped her head' upon the desk, and the
bitter teem ran down her cheeks. The rese
of the scholars laughed at the remark, and
then proceeded to sing th 6 remaining verses
of the song.; but although its harmony was
not as before breken by the discordant tones
of Janes untutored voice, yet there was hot

mates feelings , had been wounded, and there
was a real sympathy with her distress, caused
by the teacher's thoughtless remark.'"
Seeing its e ff ect, be was sorry for * having
spoken in such a manner, but thought that
it would be forgotten 'by - the morrow. .For
gotten I all else might be forgotten, but the
remembrance of those words would always
remain with Jane, to keep herb future,.from
the vain attempt to sing:- No, : dearly as she,
had cherished the idea of-becoming a singer,
she would bury the desire rather than sub
ject herself to ridicule again: To he the
fact that the teacher ridiculed her effortsi . Was
evidence that she could never leant, and-for
the future she would be
.a sad, and elly*US
hearer when the school joined in singing—
sighing that God had not given her an earca
pable of distinguishing• . musical sourids; '
I have not, i n this bnet sketch, , overdrawn
the picture. Froth, my, own. observation, I
am led to believe that ._ a very large number of
boys and , girls who have a real taste for'mu
sic, and a longing - to become sing,ert, fall to
do so just because their Barents and teachers
thoughtlessly discourage them by ridiculing
their first efforts. Many. ieachera sacrifice
theinterestwof such pupils to. the harmony
of, a school choir, and, instead of pointing .
Out pleasantly the difficultyand , striving to
cultivate the ear, they seek the offenders and
request them not to sing, or make some re
mark calculated to ridicule them into step
ping ; and in nine cases out of ten, sensitive
scholars will abandon the effort to learn,
considering themselves u n abl e to acquire,the
art'
Teacimrs, ill this right? Wonid 'yeti
sue a similar course with- a scholar In pen
manship? If he failed to see at once the pe
culiar curves of each letter: and
~too execute
' t hem, Would you ridicUle his attempts? . _By
no means. Yon know that the eye must be
trained to notice all the peculiar turns, and
then the hand taught_ to execute them, and,
however .rude and laughable the first char
acters may be, yoo encourage the pupil and
lead him step by step forward towards suc
cess. Is it less rremotary to encourage at
tempts to sing ? Few are born with a knowl
edge of music more than of penmanship. It
.is true that some catch - musical sounds much
quicker than others, anti we say- they are
born to be singers.;_ but. this quickness of
'perception in the ear is not more remarkable'
• than'that in the eye of many pentnen, and.if
there are no defects in voice, I manages
why . e dull ear may not be, cultivated to ap
preciate distinctive tones in music, as well as
a stupid eye can be brought to distinguish
the curves of the letters in his copy. -
It is an indisputable. fact -that there is
among the young an almost: universallove of
music, and an
,equally„unlyersal" desire to
sing, and, without saying anytidniof thead
vantages of music at thk time; I desire to
know how wcantruniversal it marbetsuide.
I would suggest that some. teacher of music
