A Beautiful Xeitimonlal.
, . fFrom tbe Atlantic Mocthly.]
nlf pate benevolence was ever organized
•nd utilized into benevolence, the name of the
institution ie the Sanitary Commission. It is
a steading answer to Samson's riddle: “.Out
of the stroeg came furth’sweetness," Out of
the very depths of the agony of this cruel and
bloody war springs this beautiful system, built
of the noblest and divinest attributes of the
human soul. Amidst all the heroism of daring
and enduring which this war.bas developed,
amidst all the magnanimity'of which it has
’ ibown the race capable, the daring, the endu
rance, the greatness’ of soul -which has been
discovered among the men and women who
have given their lives to this work, shine as
brightly as any on the battle field—in some
respects’ even more, brightly.. They have not
the bray of trumpeta nor clasji of swords
to rouse enthusiasm, n c, will the land ever
resound with their victories.. 'Theirs is the dark
hnd'painful side, the menial .and hidden side,
but made light and lovelyliy the spirit that
shines thrbugh it all. Glimpses of this agency
are familiar to our people; but net till the His
tory of jits inception, progress and results is
calmly and adequately written out and spread
before the public, will any Idea be formed of
the magnitude and importance of the work
’ vrbioh.it has done. then,. Never,
tjll every soldier whose las t t moments it has
soothed, till every soldier whose flickering life
it has gently steadied into 'Coptinuanoe, whose
waning reason it Ims softly |oi!cd into quiet,
whose'chilled bluod it has warmed into health
ful play, whoso failing frnnfe-.it has nourished
into strength, whose fainting (heart it bae-cnm
forted with, until every full
soul has poured out its story,of gratitude and
thanksgiving, will the record be complete; but
-long before that time, ever ejinee the moment
that' itslielping hand was first held forth, comes
the Blessed Voice, “ Inasmuch ns ye have done
it unto one of the least of, these.my brethren,
ys have dune it unto me." j!. -
An institution asking or Government only
permission to live and opportunity to work,
plantiug.itself firmly and squarely on the gen-‘
erosity of the people, subsisting solely by their
free-will offerings, it ’.is a noble monument of
the intelligence,’ the muniffcence, - and the effi
ciency of .a fres 'people, kpd of the alacrity
with which it responds whet) the right chord is
' rightly touched. It'is, however, not unnatural
that doubts should exist tra to the success of a
plan so far-renching.in its lams, and hitherto so
-untried.' Stories bare, beem circulated of a
mercenary disposition of its Stores and trickery
among its officers. Where, t)iese stories have
found considerable credence; they have been
tracked to their source and triumphantly re
futed ; but if would indeed he hardly less than
miraculous, if an institution ramifying so wide
ly, with agents so numerenj/and resources so
extensive, should -have iiocknaves among its
servants, and no waste in ft* circulation. The
wonder is, that more 1 ikage has not been
proved than has ever becn suspected. All that
is necessary to remove floating doubts, to con
vince all beads of t£e wisdqin which projected
this Commission, and to all hearts up to
its continued and sufficiejit&upport, is' a knowl
edge of what it ha? done, s'|doing. and porpo
secto do. This informatHSt the Commission
has, at different times, ana by piecemeal, fur
nished : necessarily by piecemeal, since, as this
book justly remarks, the ijiitnense mass of de
tails which a circumstantial account of its op
erations in' field and hospital must involve,
would prove nearly as laborious in the reading
as in the performance. In 'tbia little volume
we have, photographed, alsingie phase of its
operations. It consists siuiply of extracts from
letters and reports. T-htre is no attempt at
pompleteness or dramatic arrangement; yet the
most elnbßrnt&groupinghtooid probably fail to
present unedinlf as accuracy'a picture of the
work and its ways as these Unpretending frag
ments. It delights us to g*'e the—we can hard
ly sny cheerful, as that savors too much of the
•• self-sacrifice” which benevolence sometimes
tarnishes by talking -abjflut—but, rather, the
gny, lively, merry roannep in which Jhe most
bulky mutters are'taken hold of. Men and
women seem to have gune imo thp service witb
good will and hearty tbvc and buoyant spirits.

WBUSBOBODQH, PENN’A:
WEDNESDAY, : : : NOVEMBER 11, 1863,
NAMES AND THINGS,
Ssnsitiveness in regard to patty names has
never been one of our weaknesses. “Yon’re
an Abolitionist 1” never had any terrors, or
disagreeableness to us. Personally, we never
considered it worth while to disclaim it. True
or false, the charge carried no opprobrium
with it. To the coming generations-soch men
as Wendell Phillips l will appear in the light of
heroic apostles of Universal Freedom. That
which to the mere worldling and demagogue of
this day seems ultra and impracticable in the
utterances of such men, will not be so account
ed in the time tojcome. No more reproach is
heaped upon Phillips and his compeers, than
was meted out to Wilberforce and bis co-work
ers in their day and generation.
An Abolitionist is one who preaches tbe gos
pel of Freedom fo every man. woman and child
on the round globe. In that sense, we do not
see how it is possible to be a Christian nnless
an Abolitionist. If Christ and his immediate
apostles taught anything plaiuly, they proclaim
ed deliverance to the captive, and enjoined re
membrance of those in bunds as though bound
with them. Bound with bondmen, who that
has tbe nobler impulses of manhood would not
aspire to freedom? To remember those in
bonds as bound witb them, involves tbe asking
for them what we should desire for ourselves
in like circumstances. To demand freedom for
the entire race, then, is to ba an Abolitionist in
tbe general sense of the term.
This preliminarily. The doctrine of Univer
s 1 Freedom is a cardinal Democratic doctrine.
Slavery, in any'form, is a remainder of tbe feu
dal system which ruled in the earlier centuries
of the world’s time. Wherever it exists it reit
erates the lie that one man, by nature, owea
labor, service, and allegiance to some other
man. Genuine Democracy repudiates this as
sumption of natural-special kingship and cor
responding serfhood. We have but to turn to
tbb Declaration of Independence to find that
notion utterly repudiated. It is there declared
that ail men are created equal, endowed by tbe
Almighty with the inalienable rights of life,
liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That
is Democratic doctrine ; and to that doctrine
we personally subscribe ; and by it our future
labors in the political field will be shaped, di
rected and governed.
We now desire to cell attention to tbe fact
that the party that put Gpo. W. Woodward in
nomination repudiated, officially, through its
State Central Committee, the principles enun
ciated in the Declaration of. Independence.
This was accomplished through tbe formal and
official adoption of the Bishop Hopkins pain
phletf'-as a Woodward campaign document.
Thot pamphlet is no longer the repository of
the utterances of an individual, bat has become
the utterance of a party. It declares that the
truths assumed to be self-evident in the Decla
ration, are not only not self-evident, but not
truths at all. This Wood-ward party, then, of
ficially proclaims that all men are not created
equal, and endowed with the inalienable rights
of life, liberty, and tbe pursuit of happiness.
Our proposition, then, is this : What is now
known as the Union soon reassume
its ancient name— The Democratic Party—
and under that glorious name carry forward
tbe Union flag to tbe restoration of tbe suprem
acy of law aud order. The Union party con
tains" within its organization the bulk of tiia
loyal men of all former parties. It numbers
among its leaders the chief leading men of tbe
old parties. Against it are arrayed the noisy
demagogues whose villainies have involved the
country in a stupendous war, and who are ex
ercising all their cunuing to prolong the contest
by giving encouragement to the armed foe.
Names are nut things. It matters little-by
.what name n party is known, or in what name
the victory fur Truth and Right is won. Rut
the. name, Democracy, has been long enough
outraged by the villain lenders who have mis
appropriated it. The question is now, —shall
not tbe champions of Democratic principles
now step forward and rescue the name from
the infamy with which tbe Woods and Wood
wards, the Seymours and Yallandighams, tbe
Jeff. Davises and the. Lees, threaten to over
whelm it? Ought the name to perish because
tbe pot-house politicians of the old organiza
tion have plotted treason under its caver ?
Time was when the name symbolized princi
ple. It has come, to signify treason against.the
most beneficent of Governments;
Most remarkable are tbe illustrations of the
doctrine of free -speech, as pertaining to the
practices of Its self-styled advocates. We were
present at a meeting of Union men in the
State of New York, ten days ago, at which
-tbe interruptions by tbe agents of Sir Koppory
sneak were Constant, and as aimless and wan
ton as constant.
And it occurred to us that the original Kop
perysneak was, doubtless, at that very time,
preferring chargee against Abraham Lincoln
fur his alleged interference with, and suppress
ion of freedom of speech and of thepress.
And we concluded that Sir sneak,
and all tbe little Kopperysnenks, were about
ss unmitigated a set of hypocrites as the sun
ever shone upon. We bethought us,of their
bogus code of laws in Kansas,--under which it
was death to speak or write upon certain sub
jects in that Territory ; and of the mobbing of
anti-slavery men in Pennsylvania, and other
free States—all aimed .at the life of tbosetwin
privilegeß. freedom cf speech andof the pres*.
Andthese things we’ put hi contrast with
their', impodenf 'ohampionsbvp of freedotb of
•peeeb and of tbb (hrets. What aoonbast!

The past week has been fraught with glory
for the Onion. Six great Slates hare spoken
in thunder-tones for a vigorous prosecution of
the War against the slaveholders Rebellion, and
have emphatically endorsed the policy of the
Administration for its suppression. Those are
'victories not over the rebels in arms alone, but
over the skulking Copperhead rebels in the
North. Maryland has fully endorsed the
policy of emancipation, and will soon wheel
into the free Stale ranks. New York spew?
out her traitor Seymourstand Woods, and pots
herself right on the record once more, by an
oldfashioned majority. The account for 1863
foots up thus, for tho Union:

In all the foregoing Slates Coppernhadism
has died the death since lastAgril. The fian
ces for the election of a Copperhead President
do not improve. Our opponents have expend
ed their large stock of lies, and harped On the
taxation string until it is badly abraded, Now
what will they bring forward? That bloody
revolution of which they have made often men

But Copperhendism has carried one State-
The State of CAMDEN & AMBOY!! 1
A Copperhead conspiracy, having for its ob
jects the liberation of the rebel prisoners of
war in Catnp Chose, and the subsequent over
throw of law and order, was recently discover
ed in Ohio.' The ringleader was one C.ithcart,
formerly Slate Superintendent of Public In
struction. The plan was to murder the guards
and take possession of the arsenal tyith its
arms and stores, and then organize fur a grand
marauding expedition.
The conspirators were all Vallundighammers
as might have been expected. Is it not ft sig
nificant fact that while the rebellion itself was'
inaugurated by men calling themselves Demo
crats, and is carried on by the Southern wing
of the Democratic party, every plot against the
Government in the loyal Slates originates with,

If by volunteering, the preliminary steps

A VICTORY IN TP FIELD!
FROM TIIK POTOMAC ARMY.
New York papers of Monday bring to us
stirring news from the Potumao army. An gd
yance was ordered on Saturday, in two columns
led respectively.by Gena. French and Sedgwick.
The former met the enemy at Kelly’s Ford, on
the Rappahannock, drove Inm across the river,
and captured several hundred prisoners. Gen.
Sedgwick advanced to Rappahannock Station,
where he found the rebels in.force, in entrench
ments. A charge was ordered, and gallantly
made by our troops, who carried the redoubt
and bav'oneted the rebels at their guns. Here
we took 1,200 prisoners, 4 batteries of artillery,
and seven stands of colors. Gen. Sedgwick,
following up his victory, drove the rebels from
their position across-the river, and'captured
their pontuun train. The rebel army is said to
be failing back along its whole line.
Our loss is reported at 700 or 800. We do
not find the names of any Tioga aoldiers in the
list of killed am) wounded, -

oommoN schools.
During the series of examinations just closed
291 teachers have been examined, of whom
probably about 275 will receive certificates.
While I have attempted to raise the standard
of scholarship in some degree that educational
progress might not be brought to a stand-still,
1 have been obliged to grant some not very flut
tering certificates in order that all the schools
in the county might be supplied with teachers.
lam satisfied that a majority of our teachers
will sustain me in this important step even
though they may receive a temporary check in
their progress toward professional certificates,
fur rigid examinations are the only barrier
against the intrusion of poor teachers, who, so
long as they can get certificates though never
so pour, have no hesitation in assuming the
responsible position of teacher, and they will
teach for wages absolutely ruinous to those who
.spend time and money to qualify themselves.
To continue to license such would-be teachers
is to drive good teachers from our midst, and
to degrade the profession. I will endeavor to
advapee in this direction as fast as practicable ;
but teachers must aid me by qualifying them
selves, and by upholding rigid examinations.
''"ln my last article advertising the time and
place of holding public examinations, I bad
occasion to remark that “no private exnmin
imjtiuns would be granted." 1 see ho reason
for changing this rule ; 1 only regret that 1 bad
n> t also said, no certificates will be renewed ;
fur I find there is a disposition among many to
male the practice of renewing certificates al
together too common. But ua these are ex
ceptions la all general rules, so in a large dis
trict like Tioga county, circumstances may oc
cur requiring some modification of the forego
ing rules. Some very good teachers may be
unavoidably detained from examination on the
day appointed, or they may not be able to at
tend any examinations in [he county, and I do
not desire, any mure than o.hers, that their ser
vices should be lust to our schools. Still if I
were to renew all certificates on application of
teachers alone, and I must renew fur all if I
renew fur one, examinations would soon be
abandoned, and all the good they accomplish
would be lust. To prevent the exclusion from
our schools of some very desirable teachers
when eicknees or other proper excuse might
prevent them from being examined, and also,
to protect the system against the abuse of le
uewing certificates without proper cause, I have
decided on the following rules by which 1 shall
'be guided in all cases.
No certificate will be renewed nor will any
special examination be granted to-any teacher
except upon application of a majority of the
board of Directors desiring to employ eaid
teacher.
All applications should be wade in writing
unless it in convenient for the board to apply
personally.
All special examinations to be as public to
directors and others as regular examinations.
These rules are fully sustained by decisions
of the School Department, and I trust 1 shall
receive the willing co-operution of directors
and teachers in carrying them out.
Nearly one half of all the teachers are ex
amined'in the three districts, Mansfield, Wells
boro, and Osceola, lu such large classes good
teachers suffer in comparison with the poorer ;
for no inspector can examine a class of fifty
teachers orally in a single day, and arrive at
any definite conclusion as to their scholarship ;
And unless teachers are. scrupulously honest
there will be communication during the written
examination in too crowded houses. To ob
viate these difficulties, and to lengthen as well
as increase the efficiency of the superintend
ant’s labors, directors should require all appli
cants fur schools to bo examined in the pres
ence of the board at the regular examination
fu, the district in which they intend to teach.
This will also give directors an opportunity of
judging fur themselves as to the qualification
of the several candidates. .
Though'this series of examinations has been
a laborious one, yet if has nut been without its
pleasures. In accomplisbiug it I have trav
elled over 350 miles, and have bad an appoint
ment for every week day in October save one ;
I have met and formed the acquaintance of
many new teachers, directors, and earnest J
friends of education whom I shall always kind
ly iememher. 1 have spent from ten to four
teen hours each day in my official duties, and
my faith in teachers, examinations has been
very much increased. 1 think as a general
tele, that a fair examination is a much fairer
test of scholarship than is generally supposed.
