WBX.X.SBOROHGH, PEftW’Ai WEDNESDAY, : : : : : MARCH 30, 1864. EDITOEXAIi COEE’ESPOKDENCE. Washington, March 22,1864. There has lately been a very interesting de bate in the Senate, upon the bill to incorporate a new passenger railway company. Mr. Sum ner offered an amendment to the bill, ** that no person shall be excluded from the oars of the said company, on accoant of color.” This awakened the lion from his lair, and the sha kings of his mane were fearful to behold. The amendment was opposed chiefly by Messrs. Saulsbury and Johnson, with the usual coarse ness by the former, and with the skill and can dor of the lawyer by the latter., Now, there are-strange things under the sun. Among them I have observed these, to wit: — I have seen a lady in silks enter a car, followed by a colored woman leading a child, or bearing the white picaninny in her sable arms. And I have seen the colored servant seat herself by the grand white lady, and in the midst of other white folk ; and 1 have not seen the white folk object to riding with the colored servant under snch circumstances. I have seen an equally reputable colored woman enter the car' at the same time, without any white baby, and forced to go open the front platform with the driver. The query that presented itself to my mind, was—is one colored woman less offensive than any other equally clean colored woman, or does the grand mistress' sweeten the servant, so as to make the presence perfectly innocuous ? I have also seen, on market mornings, half-a dozen coarse, red, dirty, rank smelling, white women, each with a basket of fish and onions, and other aromatics, enter the cars, and -take their seats among decently washed white-folks, and no man or woman objected—aloud, at'least. And I bare seen, soon afterward, a well-dressed colored . person enter the car, only to be driven to the front platform. The query that presented itself to my mind, was this: are dirty, coarse white, fish-women, with their nauseous baskets dripping putridity, better than clean, well dressed colored women, or >men, without the Billingsgate odors abont them? Or are the people all raging fools, and blind as bats, with this infernal prejudice against mere color ? Now, as for personal cleanliness, the negroes of this city, os far as the external appearance goes, are superior to the lower classes of whites. I conceive that it makes little difference as to who aits by one’s ride for a dozen squares in a street car, only so that it is not a dirty, or drun ken person. For one, 1 never think of my next neighbor, unless be or she offends either sight, hearing, or smell. It is my habit to presume that no man or woman can very well harm mo . by riding in the same car, unless he or she be dirty or drunk. But filth and beastliness do not constitute a bar to favor on the street cars. It is color, and nothing hut color. As to negro equality, no fear of such a hap pening ever came to afflict me. No law can render men social equals, any more than it can make men intellectual equals, or equals in strength or endurance. This sort of equality is regulated by the “ higheii law.” Whom God makes equal, they are equal; and no human commandment can make them unequal. How ever, I do not so much blame some of these ob jectors. There is danger, in their cases, that the negro may not only become their equal, but even their superior. There are men in.the Senate of the United States to-day, who, lined by the standard they themselves set up, cannot compete with the free colored people of this country, generally, in the matter of virtue, common decency, and morality. - There are men who seldom enter the Senate except in a state of beastly intoxication ; and, thank heaven, they enter it but seldom. Of vile and loath gome habits, lost to shame, and deficient in that self-respect which alone can render men and women noble—l would sooner consort with ihe most ignorant, if honest and sober, white or black, than with such men. Gamblers, sots, licentious,'—they find no pleasure in the higher walks of life, to which a false conventionality assigns them. Their course is down—down— down—to the bottomless pit. But such men are the first and fiercest in the war upon the negro. M. H. C. WAR NEWS. The steamship evening Star, from.N. Orleans on the 19 th inetant, arrived at New York on the Sfitb, bringing confirmation of the reports re ceived from the "West, relative to the capture of Fort De Hussy and Alexandria, Western Louis iana, by the farces of Goa. A. S. Smith and Admiral Porter, Alexandria was surrendered to the gunboats without an attempt at resist ance. Gen. Banks was to take field in per son within a few days, and the njfroy in Wes tern Louisiana, was again on thd move, New Iberia having been re-occupied by Gen. Lee’s advance. Two of our gunboats had ascended Grand rivet to Bute-a-Rose, where last year a heavy engagement was fought, and destroyed a, Rebel camp. Our losses at the capture of Fort De Buggy, Red river, were seven killed, twelve severely wounded, two mortally wounded, twenty-seven slightly wounded, and five not specified. The Rebel loss was five killed and four wounded.— About 1,000 men had composed the garrison of the fort, but more than half of them hud been withdrawn to defend Alexandria. Guerrillas were becoming bold in the vicinity of Baton Rogue. A cotton buyer, who had $lO,OOO in greenbacks, was captured by the guerrillas.' Gov. Hahn bad called on election for dele gates to a Constitutional Convention, to be held on the 28th inst. Tbs Rebel Gen. Forrest, with 2,000 men, nt tacked Union City, Tenn,, on the 24th instant, THE TIOGA COUNTY.AGITATOR. and captured the email force of Union troops garrisoning the town. This force consisted oU 400, Tennessee cavalry, who . made a vigorous defense, repulsing, their assailants, three-times before they surrendered to superior numbers.— The enemy destroyed the defences and harried southward with their prisoners; Gen. Forrest seems to be on the war path.— \ He fell upon the town of Padncah, Kentucky, i on the Ohio river, fifty miles above Cairo, early ) on the morning of the 26th instant, and sacked and fired the place. He made four attempts to capture the fort, but was each time repulsed. Most of the burning was done by our gunboats, which opened upon the. city during Forrest's operations. The Kebels soon retired. Untrust worthy stories are told of losses, putting ours at 12 killed and 40 wounded, and that of the Eebels at 150 to 300 killed, including a General Thompson. For tho Agitator. COMMON SCHOOLS. The time has arrived when those who are de sirous of having profitable summer schools, should bo making arrangements accordingly. Allow me to urge upon Directors and teachers the importance of commencing the. ensuing term as early as practicable. I have before re marked that summer Schools ate worthless, if Fepl open after tho Fourth of July. Better to have two months school, during May and June, and then four months in the full and winter, than to continue the schools in session during July and August, with slim attendance and lit tle or no life in either teachers or scholars.— The spring examinations will be held early enough to .allojw the adoption of this plan. Some districts experience greafinconvenicnce in getting teachers. The fault with such dis tricts generally is, that they are so negligent about school matters, pay such low wages, are so far b%hind with" their taxes, have such poor school bouses, and so little interest in schools, that good teachers will not seek employment in them. It is from such districts, on the plea of its being necessary to fill the schools, that the Superintendent is called upon to indorse or re new the certificates of whatever teachers can be “ picked up,” including those who f‘ did’nt think of teaching,” or who “ did’nt hear of the examination," as welfas those who think them selves “ too rusty to bear much of an exami nation, but can. teach a good school.” How many of these “ rusty” teachers are ever really bright? Such teachers frequently spend more time to get their certificates renewed, than it would take for them to come and bo examined. Sickness or necessary absence from home, though a valid excuse for not being present at a regular examination, is no excuse for renew ing a certificate ; for a teacher must he well enough to be examined, before he or she is well enough to engage in teaching. The object of requiring rigid and frequent examinations, is to gradually and surely improve the qualifications of teachers. ' Tho practice of renewing certifi cates, tends to defeat this desirable object.— While the Superintendent is held responsible for the qualifications of teachers, he ought to be the sole judgo of what those qualifications are, without being asked to take the' opinion of some one else, or even his own opinion, if ex pressed according to some former, and perhaps lower standard. Good teachers will readily as sent to these views. The recent State Conven tion of county Superintendents unanimously adopted the following: “ Resolved, That in the judgment of.jthis Convention, the practice of endorsing or exten ding certificates, without re-examination, should be entirely discontinued.” I shall aim to carry this resolution into effect. I offer no further assurance that certificates will be renewed,'on application of Directors or tea chers. Directors should not employ teachers who have no certificates, or whose certificates have expired ; for they are liable to lose their State appropriation by so doing; but they should endeavor to have a number of teachers present on examination day, sufficient to supply all the schools. Teac'hers who do not attend the teg ular examination in their vicinity, will have to forego the pleasure of teaching, or else travel out of their way to visit mo; for I cannot go more than once around the county Co accommo date them. Examinations of Teachers. —Notice was given last fall, that as most teachers are em ployed during both summer and winter terms, certificates ,would be granted for a year; and that spring examinations would be confined to two or three central localities, to accommodate those who did not then anticipate teaching.— Accordingly, ezaminationa will take place as follows: Blockhouse, April Slat. Mansfield •* 23d. Wellsboro, - “ 25. th. Knoxville, ~ | “ 27th. Examinations will commence nt precisely 9 o’clock. Teachers should bo provided with pen, ink, paper, and postape currency for revenue Bin nips, as usual. Friends of education are cordially invited to attend. V. A. ELLIOTT, Co. Sap’t.

[From the Missouri Democrat.] Diptheria—A Sore Core fog this Terrible Disorder. Please publish-the following treatment of dip thecla. It bos been used by myself, and others to whom I have given it, in over one thou sand cases, without a failure. It will always cure, if the treatment is commenced before the diptberia membrane extends into the air tubes, which is known by the great difficulty of brea thing and restlessness. In such cases no rem edy yet discovered will always effect a cure; hut if the patient is watched, and this treat ment used in time, there is no danger. I sent this treatment to a friend of mine in Wisconsin, and be used it on himself, and fam ily, and neighbors, with such wonderful success, that be requested mo to send it to you for pub lication as this horrible disease is prevailing extensively in parts of Missouri: DIPHTERIA WASH. Golden seal, pulverised, 1 drachm. Borax, “ 1 “ Black pepper, “ 1 “ Alum, “ 1 " Nitrate potash, “ 1 “ Salt, “ 2 “ Put all into a common sized teacup or vessel which holds about four ounces, and poor'half full of boiling water, stir wellj'and then fill full of good vinegar. Fit for nse when it settles. -Make a swab, by getting a little stick about the size of a pipe stem, notch one end, and wrap a string of cotton cloth around, it, letting the cloth project about half an inch beyond the end of the stick, so as not to jag the mouth and throat, and fasten with a thread. Swab the mouth and throat well every half hour if the case js bad, every hour if not bad. When the patient gets better, every two hours; then when better, every four hours ; and when still, better, two or three times a day, till well; which will be from two to seven days. Touch every affected spot, the uvula, tonsils and fau ces, the whole of the back part of the mouth, and top of the throat; and let the patient swal low a little of tho wash each time you swab.— Swabbing causes no pain, though the patient will gag, and sometimes vomit; but swab well, and a feeling of relief will follow every swab bing. Let every patient have a separate swab and wash, os the disease is undoubtedly infectious. Keep the wash pure, by pouring what you can use, each time, into another vessel, ond also wipe off any matter or slime that may be on the swab, every time you take it from the mouth. ( ' Bub the fallowing lininient on the throat, outside, once every three or four hours, and keep a flannel cloth round the neck till well: Take spirits turpentine, once ounce. “ sweet oil, (or linseed oil,) one ounce. “ aqua ammonia, one ounce. Mix. Shake before nsing each time. Keep the bowels regular with castor oil. Keep the patient in the bouse, but ventilate well. Tlje diptheria wash’ and liniment will be found sufficient for all cases, if taken in time; and should you mistake soy other “sore throat” fur diptheria, you will effect a cure almost inva riably, as I use this for all common sore throats. I have never lost a case ; and many have, told me that no money would induce them, in these “ diptheria times,” to bel without the wash and liniment; and when a soreness in the throat is felt, it is used,.and a core is always effected.

It t cat Awarded the First Premium Silver dal , at the New York State Agricultural Fair, at Utica, in 1863, and at all other Fairs where Exhibited!- • THIS important improvement in machines for iriatf-- ufactaring shingles and heading, the inventor has the pleasure of introducing to the public; a ma chine which has proved itself, beyond a doubt, decu dedly the most perfect, the best and cheapest machine, that has ever yet been introduced. As shingles tad heading are articles of great demand and of much im portance, the aim and object of the inventor has been to ge.t up a machine that would make them as near perfect to tho best shaved, and with the greatest diat patch, possible. With much labor and expense he has succeeded in accomplishing bis object; which fact U testified to by those who have the machines in use.—. The superiority and many important advantages this machine has over other?, are : It has no complicated parts liable to derangement; simple in its constrac. tion, yet strong and durable; perfectly safe and easy in operating; does the work in a very perfect maa ncr, equally as well ou heading of different kinds— cutting obliquely or otherwise, as desired. The saw running horizontal, cutting lengthwise of the bolt* tho carriage traveling only in proportion to the width of the shingle or beading, and are made to cut from 10 to 24 inches in length, works up the timber very close; will,cut from 1000 to 1600 perhourof shingle?, takes up but little room, occupying only about four feet square, not weighing over 285 lbs.; can be driven by any kind of ordinary power; a very compact ma chine to ship. The cost of the machine is small com pared with its value. The following are a few of the many testimonial* which can be produced: hJiDDLBBunr, Vt,, Aug. 25,1865,- Mr. Emerton Soiith, Bear Sir:—You wish to know our opinion of your improved shingle and heading machine. We have had* one of them Id use sometime; have cut about 800,069 from various kinds of timber. It has done the work m the’mosCsaliSfaclory manner,. Hare lost no time nor expense on account of the ma chine getting out of order. It is a very perfect ma chine; easy and safe to operate. We have used dif ferent kinda of shingle machines. Tours we must say excels all others in every respect. We would not be willing ia take four times the cost of the marine,, could we not procure another of the same. Yours truly, ABBY 4 NICHOLS, Carristola, N. Y., Dec. 19, 1864. Mr. B. F\ Eaton, Dear Sir:—Tbe Green Mountain shingle and heading machine, which we purchased of yon,*we hare tbe satisfaction of saying we are highly pleased with. It meets the recommendations.
