From our Morning Edition of YesterdaY
A NOBLE MOM' TO A BRA VE MAN
AND A GALLANT SOLDIER.
It is with pleasure that we publish and thus
endorse the following noble tribute to one of
the most accomplished soldiers in the country.
daptain Van Swartow served with distinction
oh many of the most desperately contested bat
tle fields of Europe, and when this government
was engaged in the war with Mexico, he as
gallantly entered the ranks of our armies, and
as steadily supported our cause as any man who
drew a sword beneath the stars and stripes dur
ing that conflict. In the present serious strug
gle for the permanency of the American Union,
he has rendered the most important services.
He has taken the raw recruit fresh from the
undisciplined vocation of civil life, and rendered
him in a very short time, by training and In
struction, an efficient, active and valuable sol
dier.
. .
In view of these facts and on account of the
services thus rendered, the following letter is
given to the public and the authorities at Wash
ington: We trust that the object aimed at may
be atttained, and that Captain Van Swartow
may thus be enabled to increase his services to
the land of his adoption and love :
HEADQUARTERS, CAMP CURTIN,
Liarrtsburg, Oct. 29, 1861.
• Mu. GEORGE BERONKH,
Editor of the Telegraph,
Sias—Permit me, as a stranger, to call your
attention to the case of Captain F. Van Swar
tor , The Captain has been employed here in
Camp as a Drill Master, by the State. lie
came to us with a good military rt.vord, having
served in his own native country as an officer,
after which he came into this count!" and took
a prominent part in the Mexican Mx, return
ing home to Pennsylvania where he •now re
sides,.
The Captain is desirous of going into actual
service, rather than remain at some post as a
Drill Master. I teel free in recommebdiug him
as a competent man to fill any positiou, he be
ing a thoroughly drilled officer. _Glutting to us
as he did, with the honors of tifty-nine battles,
and feeling a deep solicitude in our present dif
ficulties, I would say, in behalf of the officers of
this camp, that we feel as though the Captain
in justit.e ought to have a position in the regu
lar service. lie is a gentleman and much re
spected by the officers at this camp, for the use
ul knowledge winch he has imparted to us.
you lie so kind as to bring his name la

EDECIITIONAL CONVENTION.
WEDNEBDAY-AITERNOON SESSION
Meeting called to order. •
Mr. ERMENTROUT of 13erks offered the fol
lowing preamble and resolutions :
Winuilas, It is self evident that the distribu
-tiouof forceS engaged in the accomplishment of
the same end teruL, in the nature of the case, to
defeat rather than advance it ; and tohireas, in
order to bring to passe proper unity and concert
of action on the educational department of
this; State of Pennsylvania, it is of prime bri
'portHance that each department settle for itself
the particular sphere in which it moves, the
duties which it expects to discharge, and the
right it intends to claim. Therefore,
Rfsolved, That a Committee composed of three
county superinandents be appointed, whose
duty it shall be to report at the next Educa
tional Convention on the peculiar position the
common school occupies amid the general edu
cational arrangements of the State.
Preamble and resolutions adopted.
Topic No. 1 was then introduced for discus
sion—" Normal schools, their relation to the
teacher's profession."
On motion the duration of addresses be ex
tended to tea minutes to all but County Super
intendents.
Dr. Gerhart made a motion requesting the
State. Superintendent to write out the substance
of the addreza delivered by him this morning
for publication on the School Journal.
. .
The State Superintendent replied that under
`the 'circumstances it would be impossible to
comply with the request, the remarks having
been made without preparation and with imper
fect notes. The motion was then withdrawn.
The following resolution was offered by Kr.
Aii.Farlaud :
Resolved, That Normal Schools should main
tain the same relation to teachers professing
that Theological Law and liedical schools do to
the ministry and the practice of law and medi
cine—the one as necessary as the other. And
as theise schools do not deal with mathematics,
languages and science, except in th - re applica
tions, so should the Normal School 'have noth
ing, to do with the branches requiredin teachers'-
certificates, except in the same astir, namely, in
teachers' ability and &11l in lursting
Applicants should be examined and not ad
mitted unless proficient in knowledge of such
branches, their course of study in Normal
Schools being purely professional.
Remarks by Messrs. N,,bbti, McF trland,
Wickersham, Woodruff, Carothers. (of Beaver,)
Derlinger, (of Cumberland,) Bollman, (of In
diana).
The President announced to the Convention
that he had been informed th it it was the wish
of His Excellency, Gov. Curtin, in view of cer
tain existing circumstances that the visit con
templated by the Convention be postponed till
to-morrow evening.
On motion the resolution to adjourn this
evening at 6 o'clock be reconsidered, and a res
olution 'to adjourn to-morrow evening at the
same; time and for the same purpose substituted
in its place.
The discussion on the resolution offered by
Mr. M'Farland was resumed and continued.
Messrs. Barr, Walker, Coburn, Bollman, Mc-
Farland, Dr. Taylor, Cruckshank, Johns, Wick
ersham and the resolution finally . withdrawn.
Adjourned till 61 , o'clock. •

WAMINOTON,Nov. 27.
Governor Ladeslaw Ujhazi, of Texas, has
been appointed. Consul. at Ancona, Italy. He
emigrated to,'Daixas about twelve years ago, hav
ing been exiled from Hungary for his-participa
tion in the revolution in which he .took part as
a commander of Comoro during that memorable
&lige. He had engaged in the. cultivation of
vin yards suctessfully in Texas,:but was driven
thence. on account ot his,Union sentiments.
General Ujhasil yesterday _visited General

him ;with enthusiasm.
The following named often; ,have been ap

and Capt. Rodman, of the Ordnance Depart
ment.
The board will meet at Washington at such
times and place : as may be designated by the
senior officer, and the junior member will re
cord the proceedings.
There is evidently prevading in all branches
of the government a far wore hopeful feeling
concerning a successful result of the present
conflict than heretofore, and this is exhibited
in conversations and otherwise, while it is be
lieved that the British press will be as earnest
as our own in discussing , the circumstances at
tending the arrest of Slidell and Mason. , No
apprehensions Are entertained that the question
will be productive of serious embarrassment to
the two countries.
The authority to raise companies and regi
ments of sharp shooters granted to Col. Berdan
last i ßeptember, has been revoked. The com
panies and regiments which have already been
raised will, neverthe,less, be mustered into ser
vice and proceed to Washington.
There is no reason to believe that Mason and
Slidell will in their confumment experience any
different treatment from other prisoners, as
they are all considered on an equality of
treason.
The rebel blockade of the Potomac does not
seem to have been vigorously enforced this
week, as various vessels have arrived here with
cargoes of coal, wood and other domestic sup
plies.
During the past few days , quite a number .of
river craft have safely passed the batteries and
arrived at our wharves, among them eight or
ten laden, isfith z fins oysters, of Which our citi
zens and soldiers will have an abundant supply
for Thanksgiving. Considerable qua - atlas of
wood, we are glad to learn, have else reached
us by the river route, and a large quantity is
reported to be on the way. Several vessels
taking advantage of a. fine northfiest breeze,
haVe left the . city for, points below. Two large
schixmers arrived yesterday, laden with coal, of
which we trust we shall soon have an abundant
supply—at least sufficient to bring down th e
price of the article to some reasonable standard.

TRN: STEINER 'RENT IN ENGLAND.
A Frigate Sent to the United States
with Dispatches.
The steamer Himalaya arrived here, brings
a report that the mail steamer Trent had reach
ed England, and that a frigate had been dis
patched to the United States with special p
eaches relative to the capture of the rebel am
bassadors Mason and Slidell. The report is
doubtful.
SECOND DIZPATCU.
The reported arrival of the naval steamer
Trent, in England, is absurd. She only. carries
the mails and passengers to St. Thomas, and
the steamer connecting with her was not due atm.
