visitors to the President.
An unusually large number of visitors- were
at the Executive Mansion to-day. Many of
them were in waiting for more' than three'
hours, when, at about one o'clock, the, door
was thrown open and all of them were admit.
ed to the room of the President at the same
time. The throng lined the apartment and.
crowded upon him in an inexcusable manner.
The most of the business transaeted , was of a
trivial character.
Several prominent Southerners had. come to
procure the Executive signature to • their
pavers for pardon, but they will have to wait
their turn.
The Resyment of the Soldiers.
All the soldiers now in the field, with' the
single exception of those in the military
department under General SIIICILIDAN, have
within a few days been 'paid up 'to and
including the 30th of June last, and even
for General SHERIDAN% department over
ten millions of dollars were sent nearly two
weeks ago to the paymasters,with 'which to
settle all demands against ie Government.
So, too, in the West and lar, West, including
California, have the requisite funds been for
warded to pay the dues of the - soldiers.
On the first day of May last there were more
than one million of soldiers actually in the ser
vice of the United States. Since then at least
five hundred thousand have been mustered
out and paid off, while two hundred thousand
more are either on the way to or waiting mus
ter out at the various State rendezvous. Only
two regiments of this enormous army have
failed to receive their pay with reasonable
promptness—one of - these is a New York, and
the other a Pennsylvania regiment—but the
only 'reason of failure to receive their pay la
found in the neglect of their ofneers - to 'pro
perly complete their pay-rolls. ,
Presidential Appointinents.
The President has made the following ap

SOLDIERS OF TEE TRIED , C.A.VALD.V- DIVISION.;
The order has at last reached us which will

have been most. Justly proud.; and now, al,
though know full Well that. this • order
gladden your hearts and. the . hearts of many
anxious, loving friends athome,, yet to 1318 , thei
duty of writing a few farewell words to men
who are endeared to me by the strongest ties,
formed amid dangers, trials • and. hardships ' .
weary . marches and brilliant victories shared
alike m a sacred cause, is the .saddest of my
life.
From the time yOU first gave me, a stranger.
from the' Army of the East, a - soldier)s.webr.
come, up to this parting hour, I havewitnessed
only that cheerful obedience to orders, patient
endurance of hardships, and, glorious enthue:
siasin on the field of battle, that ever charac
terizes the true soldier, . and has for. you.;
wrenched from a bravo and. determined foe,
on 'every field of hattlS, the laurel crown of
victory.
I have not the words. that can express my,
full appreciation of the, entire command, or
sufficiently thank oMeo-rs and men for the en
couragement and personal kindness I have
ever received.
_
T. can only say now, as .I have often said be
fore, that when worn out and hungry.—igno
rant of the object, you have marched and.
fought through the day, and, without a mur..
tour, struggled all night through the. swamps .
of the Carolinas, or on some doubtful field like •
Lovejoy Station, Waynesborough, or lklonroe's
.Cross-Road, when seemed lost,-yOu.rallied
to the bugle's eall,rend by reckless bravery--
such as the world neve saw—rode down your
foethen, as now, I eried, " God bless_the brave
soldiers;" and my parting worda-to you now •
are, "May God bless you." A grateful repub
lic, with its great warm heart full of gratitude
and love, may and will build towering monu
ments to your fain eomrades,.and praise fee ,
ever in song and story your glorious. deeda;
but it can nevo..v know how much it owes to
you and your comrades, livinn,and dead..
But the proud thoughts of duty nobly done—
that you helped to uphold the nenor of,our
flag, and save and purkfythe ration—is all the
reward you will need; and as the record, of
your fame is pure and spotless, so let your
actions in the. suture be. In ;civil life remain
true to those, principles fen which you have'

strive to crush out every semblance of .discord
and disloyaNy throughout the land; and per

Governor A. W. Bradford, of Maryland, was
announced, and rams received by the Associa
tion standing. Wham the applause had some
what subsided, he. spoke as follows :
Governor Bradford• said that delay of ft few
hours at the capital had afforded him the plea.
sure of being present. As prefatory he re
ferred to the suffering of the - State of Mary
land during the four years of war. He referred
with pride to the fact the last vestige, of
the greatest sin that had ever disgraced her
soil, or the soil CZ'any country, had been. ef
fectually eradicated and. dissipated. [Loud
applause.] The assaults of the rebel had been
repulsed, and now it. was only necessary to
learn how to govern... The. school-house was
the most correct aid to government. Let poli
ties be what they will, but to train the child
Wag to train the State: 'Dimmest powerful pO
- lever, or Alrchimedian standpoint,
was the education of the masses. By
this, the world might be moved. He
would not put any. limitation upon the
exerciseof the rightof , suffrage—[applauSe]—
for education should be universal, and. no
limitation would be needed. Now that the
soldiers had returned , from.the field of death
to the grain field, thethienwlio had saved the
country, should not , their children be edn.
sated?' These were the ones to mould the
destiny of the nation 'end. it was for, the in
structors of youth to instil. correct principles
into their minds. [Applause.)

LAMES AND GWITLESSEN : When it was an
nounced tome that the honor. of welcoming.
this body to Harrisburg, was devolved upon
ameby those who had the task in charge, I ac- -
eepted the offer with Feat pleasure, as I had
twee - ire to say sometlinig, on an, oeeasion of so
much interest. But the event which called me
.froni.% Harrisburg recently, neither gave me
,time.nor qualified me for such, duties, and I
know. too well what is due to the intelligent
presence in which I stand tthattempt to speak
without ample preparatiom And yet I cannot
let the occasion pass Without expressing to..
you some word of thanks for your presence at
this hOurinthisgreatpommonwealthof Penn
sylvania,. and to the capital of which I wele , :
comeyou.
I ban large sympathy with all the objects
of this meeting, with all its workings, and
feel an:interest m every subject which can be
discussed during your session. Just at this
time there WOURI seem to be great propriety.
in your.asseudding here. It looks aunneious
for the teachers that in this month of August
a. peaceful assemblage of the instructors of
the youth of the United States should assem
ble in the capital a State which has been.
.s.ubject• to - invasion, rapine, and plunder for
every succeeding August for the past three
• years.. I congratulate you, ladies and gentle-.
that you have selected this great centre
'State of the Republic as the place to hold your.
:Convention.
It would not be improper to remind even this
body that long ago the free principles of New.
England, and-the love of lillerty in the South,
and middle of this great Republic, were CAr.
ried to Pennsylvania and infused into , the
Declaration of Independence in /M.[AP
plause.J And• when the long struggle of,the
Revolution was over, and it Deanne necessary
tomake a more perfect form of Government,
with more power and nationality in all its•de-,
partments, the freedom of all d'
the land gained:
by the • blood of the Revolution was carried!
again to Pennsylvania, and ourrnatehless Con
, stint - lion was formed in the City Of Philadel.
• phia, [;Applause.] And now, when we..have
3ust closed a struggle of four years , duration,.
so fierce and bloody that the world stood
aghast at its magnitude, while all the lovers.
of free government are lost in admiration,a.t
the grand results [applause] ; and now, those
who instruct the public mind come once more
to Pennsylvania and here discuss those great
questions which may lead to our enlighten.
ment and to the spread of American .oiviliea
tion. [Applause.]
Now, ladies and gentlemen, let me ask the
question, Where would we have been, had it
not been for the general intelligence of the ,
great peoplet It is in vain to talk s of Presi
' dents and Cabinets, or Councils in Congress.
i
It is n vain to speak of vast armies.. We owe
our present condition, our strong, Govern
ment, our free principles, and our enlightened
civilization to the general intelligence , of the
people, and the almost universal education of
the common mind in this country,; for it must
be role
mbered that those who never desired
to occupy official positions—therwilOwest into
the army, and fought withoutaver desiring
the epaulet, but who carried the. musketbreve
,ly and well, understood the magnitude-of the
• contest, and the value of its results. It now
rests with you to spread this great boon, and
• to roll the wave of civilization and;universal
education to the Pacifica Mark; every step of
the way by the SChOM-house andthe church,
for when the historian comes .to.writo the his.
tory of the war which has just closed, he will
not go to the archives of the nation, for his ma
terials, but he will find them in, the home
letters of othe private soldier,. Applause.]
I welcome von to Penpaylvanii! 4 not only be
cause of the hi stor i c faci g ,, : to which 1 call your
attention, but I weleomayou bemuse here are
a people who have been , ,feithfulite the Govtirn.
ment m its darkest hours. (Applause.[ I am
obliged to you for coming to. this State of
Pennsylvania. lam pxoud of my office that I
am thus enabled to - welcome you, and I trust
that your sessions WilMue prolitable and pro
ductive of good. •
His Excellency rogred an»d a round of ap
plause.
The President returned thanks, on behalf of.
the Association, fur the eloquent addresses
Which had been delivered.
Professor JairtesSl. Clark then sang the song
entitled t , The el:Li:Wren of the flattle-lield," -
An arrangemen,twas then effected by Nek
the members of ,the Association would =take
an excursion to,tbe baitledield of GettySburg.
The annua4 rcport was read by the rresi
dent, Professor, Green. It commences with a
review of tle,wilitary operations of th,e early
part of the. year, and speaks of the glad re
joicings over, the victories of the Union ar
mies. The, assasaniation of Lincoln was:
alluded to in .feeling terms. The intelligence,
of the 'men e.oinziosing the rank and file of the
yolunte.er,armles of the, United States was ail
verted,to at some lengthcand it was remeffl.
bered,willi pride that the young men cheer
fully aegorded obedience to their superiors in
ran'it, although, in many eases, inferior in in
telligence. The contrast between the condi
tion of leaac. - ing and institutions of learning
s4t the North and South was also alluded to.
Nat one had been, suspended at the North,
, while nearly all at the South had been, closed
1 for wall( Of patronage.
It was neeinEary Qat the masses of tkAo
people should be educated, and it was. Wed
that martial law would premcil in every
Southern State until Northern, men or. any
other men might discuss edueationad, politi
cal, gocial, moral, or religious topicsin any
'art (AAR south, as freely as in Putman Hall.
Pilen frIIIIF the South. bad been ilerinltted to
come to the Nosth and ventilate tb,eir opinion
keeiy, and it was right that Northern men
should so spAalc at the South.
As one of the results of education, and the
necessity of theoretical as well as practical
knowledge was instanced by the fact that the
generals who have made the most lasting ropu.
tationt during the war are graduates of West
Point, the national military school. At the
beginning of. the war, when civilian generals
from the academy started on an equal footing,
as far as actual knowledge of war was con
cerned, the civilian generals 4reerned to sue
.
coed the beet, but tio Mambo : edueetleb, ci
West P.oint at last prevailed, and they allowed
their superiority at last.
The, last 'inaugural of Mr. Lincoln was al
luded to . as Abe production of a man, who
could be a statesman and a Christian at the
same time, withoutblendingchureh and State.
Governor Curtin and Governor Bradford•
were, on motion, elected honorarymembers
of the Association, by acclamation.
A' number of committees were then an
nounced, after which a song was sung in mug
nifiCent style.
Major General John W. Geary was called
upon, and took a seat on the platform. Ile
Was also invited to accompany the Association
on its excursion to Gettysburg. Governors
Curtin and Bradford were likewise invited.
The session closed with an anthem by the
Church Choir.
Adjourned till afternoon,
AFTICENOON SESSION.
At two o'clock the Convention again met,.
several new members were elected, and then
an essay on the "Mechanieality of School
Teaching " was read by_ far. W. J. Burritiger.
lie said - that abuses had crept into our modern
schools which demanded prompt and decisive
rentedies.. Among them was what was called,
. very properly, the ," cramming system," but.
the existence of such a system was often as
much the fault of the parents as of the teach
era - AdVancement--and that rapid—waS the
; desire of , too many of the former. They did
not wait for, the true, slow amowth which
brings .both strength and solidity; they de
sired' such fearing as weakens the mind, by
forcing if inttrunnatural action—by making it
waikrbefore it was scarcely able to creep. The
tetteher , who nettle the darling shine best was
the best teacher- , one the most liked, the most
trusted, the most courted. But the true teacher
was the teacher of common sense—he who
attached value to ideas, not words. Our
schoelswanted practicality. it was too often
omitted; bat never without detriment to the
cause of educatiun tothe Children, the duty of
whOSe teachers it is- to prepare them to be
good meinbers of , sosletir Fu duality and
thoroughness were ago iieeeserties on the
good teachers; but; everything depended do
energy and enthusiasm: When such feelings
enter into the noble - Work—when it is assumed
not so much as a duty as - tr pleasure—when it
is reflected that minas are to be trained for
eartb, for uselidness for here and for a good
hereafter—then' there 'is oar and letting Suc

MY DEAR SIR: I thank you for the invitation
to attend the meeting7ofthe National Teach
ers' Association, to be hold on the 16th in
stant, at Harrisburg: I regret that it
will not be in my power to attend 2! It would
give Ape great •pleasure to be with you,
and to listen to the diseuesion Of the sub
jects whieh, at the pedgent InOntent, rraay
claim the most earnest attention Of' every
lover of his country. Tone object" is noble
one—it is to improve the edunationbf . this na
tion and of the world; to liken to accounts
of the success or failure of theirnides of edu
cation adopted among us ; •to hear - the sugges
tions of the wise and energy from - the
emareple of the illustrious: We have a pro
fession second to none in the talent' which it
requires or the importance - of 'the results
which it aims to accomplish. On' our labors
depend the type of eharacter which in a few
years will either honor or disgrace our
country. On us it depends whether edlication
shall be a mere routine, a syetens Of solemn
shams, or the - cultivation of earnest thought.
and the love of truth, and of honestobedience,
in practice of its invaluable receipts. I look
upon your labor, at this time, as enecially im
portant. Ideas are at present filling this
country which seem to me in danger of sap
ping the foundations on which rest our claims
o the respect of the community. It 'is by
many supposed that, to promote highereduca•
tion, nothing is necessary but to render edu
cation cheep; or, iv fact, to render it
gratuitous. Hence, it is believed that the
way to establish a college is not 0 - lender
education good, but to give it away. This fact
alone is a confession that this educatiotris not
in itself desirable, for what men want they are
wining to pay for. The tendency of these doss
seem to me to render teachers careless; to get
money, and not to put forth their power to•
teach well. In no other country is education
so unrestricted. In none are the rowel/la-of'
thorough education so magnificent, and no
where else are men so anxious to Obtain it.
Let it, then, be our aim to do for the cording
generation what has never been done before.
Let our efforts tell on the men who are so soon
to control the destinies of this nation. If we
are to have factious rulers, and ignorant' and
rebellious citizens, let us so educate the-men.
that it cannot be laid to our charge.
I must add a word upon the present condi
tion of the United States, The rebellion has
tested the value of education. It has been a.
war of education and patriotism against igno-•
ranee and barbarism. Now, when the nation
has settled down into quiet and peace, the de
inand for education will be great beyond 'pre-
eedent.
Tet us meet that demand as men, andt ae-
Tistiltote. Let us cast abundantly Over theTslang;
the seed of education. Let it not be merely a
drilling.in books without character, whether
cruet our pupils understand the words they
utter, but let us teach them to think to judge,
and to originate. Let us ground them into the
principle, and accustom them - to the practice
Of rig ht, and that will bring on our country 'a
Moaaing which no finite Mind can corectiy
estimate.
Excuse the length of this note. I sat down
only to reply to your kind invitation, and ,he
fore T was aware I am writing a discussion.
Witirthe best wishes for the success of , your
meeting, I am my dear sir,

AN EXCITING STAMPEDE
uprising
in the lot near Bacon's Quarter Branch, for
merly used by the late Confederate Govern
ment for the same purpose—numbering about
eight hundred. They commenced a sudden
stampede, which awoke their negro attend
ants, who endeavored in vain to arrest them.
The guard, too, fired in the air, with the hone
that it would stop tlibm, but not so. However,
as they, moved on, regardless of all efforts to
stop them, fifty were precipitated headlong
into the deep ravine running from Baker
street to "the Branch" before the remainder
could be checked. All of these were killed or
hopelessly wounded by the fall and up to
Saturday persons were engaged in moving
their dead ,bedies ontside the city limits. The
negroes who witnessed the stampede say that
the horses drew up the line of battle, and
moved Wet furions rate, as if in a charge.
While we believe that such was not actually
the case, yet an'ofllcer who heard them relate
the eircumatance in their highly-oolored-
Strains, stated' that, having received, in 1863,
wound in battle, which temporarily-disabled
him, be was placed in charge of QUO thonsand
Cavalry horses,and that Suddenly one night
they stampeded under circumstances similar
to those already described, and that it seemed
to him that they did actually form a line, as

DNB IN I.TTAn.—Mr. Bowls in his; last letter
from Salt Lake City to the Springfield Republi
can, predicts that that place-Wel yet become
a famous watering place. Ile also says :
There are not many inhabitants absolutely
poor ; and the general scale of living is gene
rous. In the early years of the territory,.tbero
was terrible suffering for the - want of food ;
many were reduced to the roots it the field for
Sustenance 3 but now there apPeare' TO be an
abundance of the substantial necesearies•of
life, and as most of the population are culti
vators of the soil, all, or nearly all have
I
plenty of food. And certainly, have
never seen more generously 'laden tables
than have been spread before - at • our
hotel or at private houses. A dinner to our
party this evening by a leading Mormon-mer
chant, at which President Young and the lead
ing members of his council were present r had
as rich a variety of fish, meats; vegetables,
pastry, and fruit, as I ever saw on any private
table in the East ; and the quality and the'
cooking and the serving were unimpeachable.
All the food too, was native in Utah. The'
wives of Ourhost waited On us most amicably,
and the entertainment was, in every way, the
best illustration of the practical benefits of
plurality that has yet been presented to us:
Later in the evening, we were introduced4o-
another, and, perhaps, the most wonderful il
lustration of the reach of social and artifice'
life in this far off city of the Rocky Mountains.
This was the theatre in which a special per
forMaiice was improvised. In honor or Speaker
Colfax. The building is itself a rare triumphs
of art and enterprise. No Eastern city , of one
hundred thousand inhabitants—remember Salt
Lake City has less than twenty thousand—pos
sesses so fine a theatrical structure. It ranks
alike, in capacity and elegance of structure and
finish, those of the opera houses and academies
, of music of Boston t liew York, Philadelphia,
Chicago, and Cincinnati. In costumes and
scenery,
.it is furnished with equal richness
and variety; and the performances them=
selves, though by amateurs, by merchants;
and mechanics by wives and daughters -of
eitigens, would have done creditto a first-class
professional company. There was first a fine
• and elaborate drama, and then a spectacle
farce in both of which. were introduced some
-exquisite dancing, and in one some good sing
' ing also. I have rarely seen a theatrical en=
. tertainment more pleasing and satisfactory kt'
all its details and appointments. Yet the two
principal male Characters were bya day labor-.
er and a carpenter j one of the leading lady.

'Young, herself the mother of several children;
and several other of his daughters took part in
' the ballet, which was most enchantingly ren
• dered, and with great scenic effect. The house
• was full ix-all parts, and the audience em
braced all elasses of society, from the wives and
daughters of President Young—a goodly array
—and the families of the rich merehants,tothe ,
families of the mechanics and farmers of tile
city and valley, and the soldiers from the
camp. President Young built and owns the
theatre, and runs its on his private account, or
on that of the church, as he does many other
• of the - valuable and profitable institutions of
the territory, such a$ cotton, saw arid -lour
mills, the best farms, de,; and as he is Shale

" good' thing" out of it. During the winter

11 MAN IN LOWELL STUNG BIZ A Sumczr-The
Lowell Courier, of Saturday, -publishes an ac
count of the terrible sufferings of a young,
man, named James McNulty; , Who was stung
by a-small striped snake WI th which he was
meddling, on Friday last, !The oOuriersays :
" During the evening McNiff lty went into a
loon and put the snake on tl le counter, where,
when it was first 'seen, it was taken tobe a
fancy pipe -stem or comet tang of the.: kind.
When it was discovered to be alive, some
one pnopesed to pull its tongue eut,i, which
was anthe while somewiet tactive and threat
ening.. Nanny was aeavoring to hold
its head close down ' to the Counter,
perhaps to aid in cateld: ng the tongue, when
the reptile darted it out, t'ind struck him near
the ball of the thumb. A ; little black speck or
point was left in the ski* n, which was. at once
removed with the point of a knife. McNulty
went to-Dr. Burnham and told him the circum
stances, and the doctor a i.pplied some sort of a
remedy efficient for pot :eonous stings, and he
went home. Later in th' a evening he wont into
convulsions, and Drs. IC:idder, Diekey, and also
Dr. gimbalrwere mild;
lie was in such a frer'izied state that t re
quired four or five 'persons to hold him
writhing and twisting about, and emitting the
peculiar hiss of a anal re. On his hand, where
he said:be was stung,' there was nomarx more
than would be left by. a mosquito bite. Tut fel
low's agony, however, seemed - Who intense,
and some of the app; earances were. like those
in cases of hydroph' obia, but in his-lucid and

fell into a quiet ieep, the morphine having
overcome his nervous agitation, The case is a
peculiar one. Tb: e physicians present are in

PETERSBURG.
The Drat through !train on the Petersburg
Railroad since the 16th of August last, came
into Petersburg on the 11th. The Express says
Of course, so happy and unlooked for an
event created Considerable emotion and ex
citement, and the crowd at the depot Cheered
most fervently and lustily. The railroad con
nection between Petersburg, Raleigh, Wil
mington, and many other points farther Sbuth,
is now completed, and old Petersburg will soon
be herself again. The event should and will
be bailed with joy by every citizen of Peters
burg. Upon its Completion, commerce and
trade will receive a fresh impetus, and our
merchants will again indulge the pleasant
pursuit of disposing of cotton and tobacco
for their North Carolina and South Virginia
friends.
We cannot dismiss so pleasant a theme, late
as is the hour at which we write, without con
gratulating all concerned, and that is every
body in Petersburg ; but we desire particularly
to extend our gratulations to the energetic
Board of Directors, and to the untiring Presi
dent Sanford, Superintendent Dunlop,'Freasu
rel. Potts, and a host of subordinates, who
have labored so incessantly and so industri
ously, day in and day out, to accomplish the
impOrtaa work. The consummation, so long
and so devoutly wished, is full forty-eight
hours ahead of time. We had a conversation
with an officer of the road yesterday, and he
did not anticipate a through train until to
night—probably Monday night.
Farewell, now, to foot-padding. No more
shall we press Sh.anks , mare into service for a
trip to Stony Creelc. Let others try it afoot,
but we prefer being " rode on a rail.'
Rows between the white troops ainfnegrees
still continue in Petersburg.
Large quantities of cotton are arriving at
the Petersburg market.
.The planters are sending their crops in es
fast as transportation will allow, and Conse
quently the receipts and supply exceed the de=
Bland. Considerable lots are being taken in
store. The market is lower than inuring the
first part of the week, and sales were made on
the 13th at thirty-nine cents, though a prima
article would have brought forty cents.
Folders of city of Petersburg scrip are be
ginning to inquire whht action the Council in
tend to take in regard to it, Numerous thou
sands of one dollar, fitly, twenty-five, fifteen,
and ten-cent bills were issued, which parties
hoarded up during Confederate times as the
safest paper in the market. Now, the question
occurs to them, will the city redeem these
notes, or will it repudiate them! Time will
develop the matter to the satisfaction or 'dis
satisfaction of all ifit€TPsted.—.Expresp.
