EDITOR : As the season for the opening the public schools is drawing near, this is a suitable time to call the attention of Teach ers to their Associations. Tltey are not re quired by the scnool law to form such Asso ciations; but their own success demands it ol them. The Teacher has a heavy respon sibility resting upon him, which he can rid himself of, only, by a faithful discharge of his duties. This he cannot do without pre- ! peration. And mere intellectual qualifica- I tion is not of itself sufficient to enable a ! Teacher successfully to do his w hole dutv in the school room. He may thoroughly understand the branches he teaches and yet be a poor teacher. In order that he may be instrumental in advancing his pupils he must understand the best method ol apply ing hts knowledge. Herein lies the secret of many talented young men being poor teachers. They do not understand the theo ry of teaching. Many young teachers of the mostbrilliantintellects have formed meth ods of teaching when they were tyros in teaching the young idea to shoot, without consulting age and experience, and thus have worked into their method many errors, which prevent them from accomplishing the good they desire and expect from their un flinching exertions, Many teachers may ask how they may learn their errors. 1 would reply by attending Teachers Associa tions. These are conferences composed of j teachers, where they discuss in a friendly j colloquial manner, the methods each one | pursues in teaching. Those who have little experience, learn from the ability and expe- j rience of their elder brethren. This is fe-j lieved to be the best, if not the only way for 1 teachors to qualify themselves fer teaching. ' The Common Schools of Pennsylvania are 1 looking up, but they are not yet what they j should be. They should keep pace with j advances in all other improvements, and 1 can do so only when the teachers those who have them undertheir control areful'y awake to the importance of the position they occu py. The Legislature has done its part nobly, its demands on the teacher are extremely reasonable, and now with the teacher re mains the solution of the problem of our State rising to that degree of eminence in education and inteliig'?nce which its friends arc anxious to see it oOCPJ''itg- Teacher s associations are powerful mean-, for accm plishing this. They hold in their power to a great extent the destiny of the rising gen eration. Then teachers arise shake off your lithargy and go forth to the discharge of your they panopled in the cloak of preparation and a full consciousness of your worth, and ere long you will see our glorious State ris ing amid the shouts of universal intelligence and calling you blessed. AMEKICUS. Turbutvil/e, Nov. 30/ A 1858. r i lie Currency Question. The Misiissippian slates that the experi ment of excluding all paper money of a de nomination less than live dollars, has suc ceeded perfectly in the Slate of Mississippi. It says : " The measure was wise, and has been found to be easily enforced. It was at firsS haoitually disregarded, and" produced con siderable clamor, but its benefits are now universally admitted. The shinplatters of other States—that loathsome vermin of cur rency—were scattered Broadcast over the State, and when the financial revulsion came the people were made aware of their delu sion and bewailed it bit erly. '"The experiment at last succeeded. The -nuisance was extirpated. Shinplasters took their iSight, and gold and silver—the only currency of the Constitution—have flown in to the extent that small bills have been banished from circulation." If we could but induce the people of this State to try the "experiment of excluding all paper money of a ices denomination than Twenty dollars," in one year the same results might bo chronicled in Pennsylvania as those which havo followed the banishment of all below $5 in Mississippi. Gold and silver would flow in and supply the wants of the business community up to that point. But the objection is that such a movement would interfere with the basis of credit. How can substituting real money for its substitute im pair credit! The reverse would be the cane. Cut more than this, such a movement won d be of iho almost importance to the laboring classes, as it would insure them gold and silver at all times in paymentfor their labor. Again, the nearer we approach a specie ba sis the cheaper wo can produce, and by this means command the market and insure a speedy sale of all articles manufactured. In all points of view the substitution of gold and silver for paper ie beneficial to the com munity, and it should be adopted at onM in this State. THANK-GIVING DV AN EbltOa—Friend Tate, of the Bloomsburg Democrat, says he was in Philadelphia on Thanksgiving day, and did his duty in attending at church three times Awing the day and evening- After reading this exhibition of penance on the part of our cotemporary, our eyes involuntarily glanced over the advertising columns ol the Democrat, to see if them lottery advertise ments, published in violation of the laws and of good morals, wore still to be seen. They still occupied their allotted place; and we cams to the conclusion if three sermons in one day could make uo impression upon our cotemporary, it was useless for any ed itor to attempt to reform him on this subject. —Sunbury American. CV Quite a serious break occurred to the canalf about a mile below town. Some fifty or sixty feet of the tow-path was taken but one day last week, and the earth in the bed of the canal excavated to the depth of fifteen or twenty feet. It ie now nearly re paired, and the superintendent, Mr. Litte, tolls u* that the water will be let in soon, should tho weather hold favorable. This i about tixty rods below the Look.— Tvnkhnnnock Democrat. The Special Election. The vacancy in this Congressional Dis trict, made by the resignation of the Hon. J. Glancy Jones, was filled on Tuesday last by the election of Gen. William H. Keim A,Whig and Opposition), who ran as a Vol unteer candidate. His majority is 469, over Joel B. Wanner, Esq., the regular Demo i critic nominee/ The whole number of votes polled was 11,843, being 2,780 les9 than were cast at the October election. For the first time in more than thirty years, the staunch Democratic county of Berks will be represented in Congress by a Whig—by one who, during \,is whole life, has been the avowed and active opponent of the party and its principles to which n largo majority oi the people of this county are warmly attached. This is a result by no | means pleasant for the true Democrat to contemplate ; and we are perlectly willing that the men who were chiefly instrumental in bringing it about, shall enjoy all the cred it that belongs to it. After our reverses in October, we cannot say that it was altogeth er unexpected. But now that this seconJ defeat actually stares ns in the face, we con fess that we find it hard to realize. We might account for it in several ways. The personal popularity of General Keim. his extensiveaequdintar.ee throughout the coun ty, and his persevering individual exertions doubtless had a great deal to do with it.— But, more than all other causes, the contin ued disaffection of those Democrats who went into the work of disorganization prior to the October election, and the indifference to the result of the special election which was apparent among many regular Demo crats, contributed to our recent defeat. This J is evident in the diminished vote of nearly j twenty eight hundred—twenty five hundred ■ of which, it may he safely assumed, belongs j to the regular Democracy, and would have ! been cast for Mr. Wanner, had it come out. I But reflections upon the cousn, do not make ' the defeat itself more palatable. We may I say that wo lost this election through the ' indifference and spathy of our friends, I i which is strictly true; and yet it is a bolu- , i tion that heightens, rather than diminishes | T our sorrow for the rttsult. Indifference and ( apathy are not usual feelings with tho De j mncracy of Berks county ; and they never ' exist without a cause. To chido them for | suffering such influences to weaken their i party attachments, would now do no good j Whatever others may be disposed to do, j wo, for one—with two successive defeats before us, in a county which ha* ordinarily | given Democratic majorities ranging from | four to six thousand—have no idea of laun . C.V>g of ' lll ° violent complaints and loud I denunciations. We would rather speak the I words of kinaiiC sß "'id ct)J!®Hialion. And, while we can conceive of nou!' n g 10 : or even excuse the high handed act ot id?" j organization and treachery which professing j Democrats have committed in aiding the | election of a life-long opponent of their I party to a seat in Congress, over a firm Dem ocrat, who was regularly nominated to the I office, we would use our utmost efforts, con- I sisteut '.y'th the preservaiion of tho distinc tive principles and regular usages of the party, to win back honest Democrats who havo been misled by the leaders of the dis organizing faction, and to ro.'ive !he interest and confidence of those who, it is but too apparent, have become indifferent to thb' , parly's success. It is evident that the peo plo have lost confidence in. the leadership to which they have trusted. Let it be our earnest endeavor to regain theirconfidence, not in any leader, or so called "clique," which may aspire to political leadefsliip, but in the aggregate Democratic ptmy and its time-honored organization, in which all stand upon equality, and are entitled to an equally potential voice. Tho Democratic masses ot Old Berks must be persuaded to ' rise in their might and take lite destinies of the party into their own keeping. They know best what is needed to restore union and harmony in our ranks, to make our or ganization once more strong and invincible. And it is their duly to apply the proper remedy. , Reform—if reform be desired, or come from within, and not from without. Those who go outside the Democratic party, and join hands with the enemy in attempts to divide and defeat it, care nothing for its reform, but seek its des truction. Be ours the nobler task, to harmon ize, to strengthen, and to preserve it.—Read i tng Gazette. — BURGLARIES.— On Friday night of last week I several burglaries oi a' daring character, were commit ed in Sunbury. The VVach and Jewelry establishment of Joseph Kess ler, on Market street, was broken into, and watches and jewelry to the value of 8200 were stolen. The entrance was effected by forcing the door on the street. The drug stofe of Geo. Bright was also entered, by forcing the back door open by means of i| wedges. The haul in this establishment w as very light, some three or four dollars om'y being obtained. A valuable gold watch which Mr. Bright had in one ol the drawers was carried from the drawer to a desk, but not taken. A roll of quarter do! lars, dono up n paper, belonging to the Liithern C.hurch, was overlooked, or at least not carried off. A quantity of cancelled notes and private papers which Mr Bright had in his desi'c were overhauled, but none were taken or injured. An unsuccessful attempt was made upon the front door of Engle's store. The wedges were found driven into the crevice of the door so tightly that they had to be e.-itracted, with consid erable difficulty, in the morning, before the door could be unlocked.— Sunbury Gazette. A Mdrdkrkr Sentkncud -Henry Garnbrill, one of the members of the Plug Ugly Club ot Baltimore, was on Monday last, sentenc ed to be hung for the wilful shooting of po liceman Benton, a few weeks since. He is scarcely twenty-one years of age. and is the son of a respectable tradesman. He kept a drinking saloon, which was known as a ren dezvous lor his brethren of the club. When asked by the court if he had anything to say why the ee'ntenhe of death should not be pronounced upon him, be protested hit in nocence in tho most solemn manner The Future of Meiieo. The accounts from Mexico are in the same unvarying strain. The contending fictions, which call themselves Govemmems, suc ceed ir. nothing against each other, but in devastating the land, and giving unlimited license. The fortune of this rabble warfare fluctuates, and generally, what are culled the Constitutionalists or the liiberalists, have the advantage of conflicts, but they never keep it long enough to make any effective use of it. There is so little real force in either party that the total disbanding of one would give no assurance of a stable govern ment by the survivor. Both are so feeble, that they have little cohesion, except as a faction, carrying on a struggle in which they have not sympathy enough among the mas ses to givethem a triumph over their enemies nor intrinsic strength with which to exercise the powers of Stale with vigor. They fight with each other for the possession of a trans itory power, without an idea or principle, to give direction or dignity to any party. They might be said to be in a state of incessant revolution, if that might be called revolution which is purely the evidence of an absence of all government, and of incapacity to main tain one. It is rathe* chaos than revolution. Socie-_ ty is disorganized, every man does whatso ever he pleases, and his equally lawless neighbors will permit him to do ; the busi ness of lilo is suspended, the fields aro des olate, the roads swarm with robbers, and the cities aro dens where robbers walk un molested by tho semblence of authority; only a little show of order exists immediate ly around the centre, where some leader holds a temporary sway,to be shifted by the next surge of disintegrated fractions. A beantiful and fertile country is thus going rapidly to destruction, and the process whioh heretofore has been by events and years, is now accelerated into petty scrambles of weeks and days, and may reach such a point of utter selfishness that a foreign arm must interpose by necessity, and wiih force, to save millions who cannot take care or them selves, from utter extinction as a Govern ment and as a race. The preservative force must come Irom without, for the nation it self is effete Its degradation through forty | years of deterioration has demonstrated its incapacity, and humanity and policy com bine to demand that it should not be totally lost to civilization. Upon whom shall this duty devolve? What nation shall slrelch for a hand vigorous enough to stop the down | ward career and prevent this magnificent j region, the finest on the face of the earth in . all the elements which make up wealth and greatness, from retrograding into utter an | archy and harbarism ?— few Orleans Pica j yune. All will admit the truthful and graphic pic ture presented oi the present condition of i2-'*'co- TheGovemment is fulling to pieces, the people '' a y becoming more and more hopelessly degrauCsl, the products of the soil lessening on account of the want of skilled and renumerajed labor, and by which foreign intruders can enter into the country and rule its destinies, fast open ing to be closed no more. It is now evident that Mexico cannot govern herself. The great mass of her people have lost all re spect for themselves—they have long since ceased to have either respect or confidence in their rulers. No njalter which faction is iji th? ascendant, the same scenes of misrule, robbei 1 ' and misappropriation of the public funds are w itncssed and suflered by the few but highly taxed producers. The natural and inevitatuO result 0 r these causes must be the return of. the people of Mexico to a state of semi-bansm, or the country will tall under the rule of some more powerful and oetter governed Nation. We cannot allow any European Nktion to obtain a protectorate over Mexico, and sta tion an army ot observation if not of invasion on our frontier, within a few hours' sail of the chief City of the whole Southern States of this Republic. England and France have settled the balance of power on the Conti tinent. That alliance still continues, and may be directed to adjusting affair* in the New World. Their fleets hover around Cu ba, and lie in the ports of the Central Amer ican Republics ready for action. A protec torate over Mexico would introduce an Eng lish or French army into the heart of that country, the dislodgment of which would be no light or trifling task. But we take it for granted that no such occupation of Mex ico would be allowed by this Government, in whatever political party tho power to re pel it might be lodged. If, however, the necessity for definite action to save Mexico from becoming a mere dependency of some foreign power should come, are we prepar ed to act promptly and energetically ! —to protect the people of Mexico from their own folly and insanity, and at the same time take care of onr own interests in that quarter?— The question of establishing an American protectorate over Mexico has been discussed and rejected in the Senate of the United States. That circusiance, however, does not alter the facts of the case, or do away with the need for some definite action in that line. Tne border Slates of Mexico, Taraaulipus, Coahuila, Chihuahua and Sonora, all must iu process of time become parts of this Re public. Texas paved the way for this ac tion and the same causes which led to the revolution in Texas, and its admission into the Union of American are now op erating in the Mexican fringe our Southern line. The tide of emigration is topling over on the soil of Mexico. The free adventurous spirits who have settled in all these Slates, joined with the industrious and intelligent portion of the native popula tion are asking for a staple government, one that will protect life and property. This they will have. They have the means of defying the whole powerof the Central Mex ican government, und they will do so. But belore the pear is ripened by this exposure, the catastrophy may come, and a call be heard for immediate action on the part of the government to protect the nation from the conseqnences which must flow from foreign interference so near the soil of this nation. What response will there be to this de mand I Is it the policy of this Government to turn a deaf ear to the voice of "manifest destiny," which is proclaiming the fiituro of Mexico lo be either its absorption by the United States, or its continued existence as a dependency of someone of the European powers ? So apparent are the reasons in fa vor of American leadership in the affairs of Mexico, that even the London Times has ar riyed at the conclusion that England has no defense of the Mexican Re- the imputed Hbhemes of ab sorption by the United States, and that "the establishment of any government for it, that could enlorce law and order in Mexico, would be an advantage, not a loss to Eng land. It concedes as the inevitable future, that every movement upon Mexico tends to "the ultimate profit of the Anglo Saxon Northern confederation." This may be the feelings of the Times, or merely a pretence to blind the eyes of our Government as to the designs of England. Whichever it is, the facts point in the proper direction, and should arrest the attention of the statesmen of this country. Congress must look at this question in the light of recent events in Mex ico, and act at once and wisely.—Pennsylva nian. THE NEWSPAPER PRESS. —Men dislike to praise ii or acknowledge its power.

I POLITICAL MOVEMENTS IN KANSAS.—A ter ritorial Mass Convention of the conserva tive element assembled at Leavenworth, on the 25th, for the purpose of organizing an opposition to the Republicans. The atten dance was numerous, though only six coun ties were represented. A thorough reunion and reorganization of the Democracy was advocated and hotly debated, a minority characterizing such action as premature. A series of resolutions, petitioning Con gress for liberal land grants for public im provem?nts; denouncing the Republican party, and in lav'Or of the exclusion ol free negroes from the futuf? Stale of Kansas; declaring the slave question a dead issue; advocating the opening of the Indian reser ves to end a modification of the pre empiiontaws, was finally adopled, with a preamble, determining apon an im mediate organization of the Democracy.— The sessiou was prolonged Uk.a .late hour. Both wings of the party were well repre sented, and the discussion maintained with vigor. Able speeches were made on both sides. The convention did not limit itself with regard to candidates for the next Pres dency, though strong Douglas tendencies prevailed. The convention has adjourned sine die. A Bioonv DUEL.—Two gamblers named liucker and Peel, who were camp followers of the army of Ut-h, recently quarrelled over a game of cards, and agreed to fight it out They went to the ground, and, taking their stations about ten yards apart, drew their revolvers and fired. Both fell at the same WaiWßncker shot in the breast and Peel in the shoulder. One ot Peel's fingers was taken off by the shot The second shot took effect in both, ltucker then rose upon his k'iee& and fired twice, both balls hitting Prel. The latter, bleeding from the six wounds, struggled up from the ground, and resting his revolver upon his arm, and taking deliberate aim, shot Rucker in the heart. Six GKNKHATIONS. —On Wednesday week, at West Koxbury, Mass., a boy was born who can count probably more living ances tors than any other person in Massachusetts. He has, of course, a mother—but he also possesses the care of the following: A grand mother, aged 40; a great-grandmother, aged 98; and a great-greai-grandmother, aged 70; and a great-great great-grandfather aged. 97. But the most singular of all is, that aH-but the old gentleman were born in house and same room, and be says he himßelf would have been, had it not been for a visit his parents were makiDg near Boston. iV Madame Moet, the celebrated pro prietor of the champagne vineyards, in France, whose daughter was married a short time since, has just met with her death in a most extraordinary manner. She was gathering ftoyvers in her garded, when she felt herself bitten by a fly. She thought nothing of the alight puncture, but, in the evening, her face began to swell, and in a few days afterwards, she died, in intense agony. It is supposed that the fly must have fed upon putrid flesh breaking Into a State Frison. Jane Wade, a girl about 20 years old was imprisoned in the Connecticut State Prison, by the Court in New London county, for stealing a horse. Her lime of imprisonment expired last October, when she was employ ed by a fnmily in Wethersfield to do house work. In March last the family finding that she was accustomed to stealing-turned her away. Frequently sincetheymissedarticles about the house, and found evidences that some person had been about the premises. They finally discovered that she had been there frequently and slept in the ash hole at night. But her strangest adventure was in the State Prison ! One night last week she scaled the stonewall that closes the prison by climbing a tree. The wall wns about twenty feel high. From the yard she craw led into the kitchen,which is separated from the male prisoners and is not guarded at night, throughan outlet for the ashes, which connects with the yard. She slept in the ash hole six nights, and when found had six empty mush or pudding pans by her side, which she had taken Irom the kitchen when full. On Sunday night last, she snored so loud in her ash hole bed as to attract the at tention of the matron, and after a search she rraa fouful and Tho optniortj of an efflinent lawyer was given that Miss Wade may be indicted and convicted for burglary—she having broken into the Stale Prison in the night season, and stolen six pans full of meal pudding.
