til i (VI fi t CVf Y 8. B. llOW, EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR. CLEARFIELD, PA., MAY 5, 1858. C05GRES3. On Friday, April SO, Mr. Eng lish's proposition in relation to Kansas, was passed. In the Senate the vote stood, Yeas 31, Nays 22. In the House, Yeas 112, Nays 103. In the evening the Lecomptonites fired salutes in front both of the Capitol and the : White Ilouse in honor of their victory and to please the boys, who alone are jubilant. The thoughtful portion of the Administration party . regard this as a Banker Hill victory. . They havo surrendered almost every point lor which they contended at the ontset, without having the grace to do so in a frank and manly man ner. Tho Republicans are buoyant and cxul tant, in spite of their seeming defeat. They regard tho overthrow of tho Lecompton De mocracy as already decreed, and desire no better weapon for future political conflicts than the record of the English swindle. Emancipation ix Russia. Tho emancipa tion excitement is still kept up in Kussia This "despotic" country is setting an exampl which should not be lost on the world. The St. Pctersburgh Gazelle publishes an imperial decree signed by the Emperor Alexander, es tablishing in the districts of Kiew, Podotia and Volbynia, a preparatory committee for carrying out the emancipation of the serfs in thoso provinces. One of tho members of the local nobility is appointed President. Each committee is to consist of two members of each district, selected from the landed proprie tors who have serfs, and of two experienced landed proprietors designated by the head of the local administration. The "autocrat" seems to have more respect for the "mud bills" of society than some of our statesmen . Mohet A Dat a. The Phila. Ledger, of Mon day, remarks : "Money is now so great a drag in the market, that, sooner than permit it to lie unproductive, capitalists are turning it in to railroad bonds and other good stock securi ties. As for investing in good business paper, the thing cannot bo done there is hardly half as much made as the banks would be glad to discount; indeed, we are credibly inform ed, thst the banks of both this city and Xew York are seeking good bills at five per cent, arid in some instances as low as four. While this stagnation of business continues, and the amount of unemployed capital increases, good stocks are likely to improve, and some, that are not as good as we would wish, are rising with them." Scitort tour Home Papr. An exchange talks thus sensibly upon the duty of support ing home papers: "Recollect if a home week ly paper is to be supported, home influence must do it. Every dollar sent to eastern pa pers is at the expenso of the local papers. A county acquires prominence through its paper more than in any other way, and to every one who has county interest at stake, Lis home pa per is a necessity. Never will such a man take a paper printed away from home until he is able to take a second paper. His first pa per will be his home sheet,aud he will so iden tify his own interests with that of his county paper as to consider his subscription as much a matter of yearly duty as a payment of his taxes. . Extensive Monopoly. Colt, the inventor of patent fire-arms, is ono of tho fortunate in dividuals occasionally met with. Ho has al ready received from the Government at Wash ington, for furnishing revolvers, four hundred and fifty thousand dollars, and the present Administration lias contracted for, or ordered from him three thousand additional, at eigh teen dollars each. This monopoly is one of greatest in existence at the present time, and has not been equalled since the expiration of the Woodworth planing machine patent. Strenuous efforts bave been made by several parties, at different times, to break down Colt's Influence with the departments, but they havo all signally failed. Safely Delivered. The Philadelphia Dai ly Xeics, of May 1st, says : "For five months Congress has labored, and at last the mouse comes forth, "an indigest deformed lump." If Mr. Buchanan be not gratified with the glory of his administration, it will bo strange. It is certain no one will envy him his hard earn ed fame. Two illustrious events already mark his history with a brilliancy which is unequal led. The one military : that is the shooting of several women and children by his efficient marine corps ; the other civil ; the passage of the notorious English bill. These crown him with laurels, the greenest the world has ever een. Let tho King live forever !' " ThE Scalpel.

Published by Sherman & Co., l Vesey street, Astor House, Termsl year in advance. Well : Lecompton Junior has passed : What then 7 Nothing, but a very brief dis missal of the Kansas question from the floor of the two Houses. This bill settles nothing, establishes nothing, but Uaves all at as loose ends as ever. ' ,' r The original Lecompton bill had at least this merit it assumed to be a finality. Kan sas might upset or tianefornt tlicConstitution thereby imposed on her, but Congress was precluded from again meddling with the sub ject. ' True ; th9 question would have come back again, in the shapo of contested elections to tho House or Senate, or both ; but the bill contemplated nothing of the sort. It pro fessed to remit ail that remained of the contro versy to the People of Kansas. And what Mr. Green's bill lully professed to do, tho Crittenden-Montgomery bill actually did. That bill said to the People of Kansas, "Ratify the " Lecompton Constitution if you like it, and " you aro in the Union ; if you don't like it, ' frame another and fairly ratify it, and you " will then be in the Union, without further " action by Congress." Here was an end of contention, a balm for agitation, a practical cud of controversy. Tho People of Kansas might quarrel farther, should they see fit ; but Congress resolved and pledged itself to do nothing but secure them fair play. But this English bill docs not even aspire to be final It says, "Accept the Land-Grant as we have " fixed it, and we shall consider you in the " Union undcrthe Lecompton instrument ; re " ject it, and you may not form another Con " stitution until a census shall have shown that " you possess a population eqnal to the Fedcr- " al ratio for a Member of the Ilouse." In the one case, Kansas comes in at once as a Slave State, receiving a large bonus from the Land Sales about to take place ; in the other. she waits for a much larger population, an of ficial census, a formal proclamation of the fact, a Convention and new Constitution, and an acceptance of the latter by Congress. The strong probability is that this will keep her out at least two years longer. For what 1 Five thousand sophists, each gifted with miraculous and well-oiled tongues, could not efface the fact that here are heavy bribes offer ed, and menaces held out, to a harrasscd, strug gling, impoverished community, designed to impel them to accept a Slave Constitution on the plea that they can change it at pleasure Here are solid, palpable, immediate advanta ges proiiercu to tempt tnem to tnis course with corresponding penalties to be incurred by standing out. If they reject Lecompton by rejecting tho modified Land-Grant, they get no Lands at present, no provision for Railroads, no five per cent, on the Proceed of the Lands about to be sold ; and they arc thrust back into Territorial vassalage for an indefinite period, with Denver for their Gov ernor, Lccompte and Cato for their Judges. and Buchanan for their Grand Seignior. Thcso are long odds ; but the People of Kansas are too strong for them. They will spurn the bribe ; they will hold fast their in tegrity; they will remain a Territory under many disadvantages rather than drop into the Union a slaveholding State. Two or three thousand of them may, perhaps, go in for Le compton, wealth and infamy, swelling the Pro- Slavery vote to Five Thousand ; but this will not reduce the Free-State vote below Ten Thousand. A full poll is the only requisite the popular weariness of election after elec tion which settle nothing, accomplishes noth ing, is tho only danger. ine reuerai Administration has most un wisely decreed thatKansasshallstillbcawatch word in our National struggles. Tho Critten den-Montgomery bill would Lave obviated this; Congress would gladly have passed tha bill ; but the Executive was implacable. By Cabinet influence and Presidential patronage the Kansas feud has been kept open ; there will be no more cessation till Kansas is fully in the Union tho acknowledged Freo State that all know her rightfully to be. Wo give her oppressors fair notice that the unjust dis abilities imposed on her by the English bill are utterly scouted by earnest Free-State men ; that the population which is confessedly large enough for a Slave State will be held sufficient for a Free State; that if tho foolish, useless, culpable constitution of an Election Board consisting of three Federal officers to two elected by her People, shall be made a cloak for foul voting or false returns, those votes, will bo rendered of no avail ; and that, by a largo majority of the People, all other issues will be postponed or subordinated until Kansas shall havo been fully delivered from her op pressors and added to tho galaxy of Freo States. So, Messrs. Lecomptonites, move on ! Two Important Harbors Discovered. The Russian naval expedition, under Count Poliatin, which was last summer commissioned to make explorations between the mouth of the Amoorand the Japanese and Chinese seas, reports having discovered on the coast of Man chooria, opposite the Island of Madsmai, (Jes so,) two harbors, capable of affording protec tion at all seasons to the largest fleet3 in the world. They were named St. Vladimer and St. Olga. A river which empties into one of these harbors was named Avvaeum, after the interpreter to tho expedition, a priest, who was for many years attached to the mission in Pckin. - Another Loan. The National Intelligencer states, on what is supposed to be good author ity that tho President has determined to ask Congress to authorize a new loan to the aroout of thirty millions of dollars, and to fund the twenty millions of treasury notes recently is sued. This looks bad, indeed ! The recent draft on the treasury for the Lecompton ini quity renders the course proposed highly ne cessary. Tha President hardly comes up to the expectations of a majority of his suppor ters, we imagine. Henry Ward Beecher is great at taking np collections. At the old John Street Church, on one occasion, they wanted to make an ex tra raise. Mr. Beecher eloquently addressed the new converts, and finally asked those who nad experienced religion in that church, to hold np their right hand. Nearly all the right hands were raised instantaneously. "Now," says Mr. Beecher, "put that hand in your pocket when tho plate is passed round." PENNSYLVANIA ITEMS.

He dislikes to be watched by his aid-decamp, whom he believes to be his commanding offi cer. Though his mental aberration is hope less, the question of the Regency remains un settled, as the Queen prevents any stop in this direction, and the Ministers do their best to delay it still more, well aware that tho first measure of the Regent would be to turn them out of office. The question becomes still more complicated by the fact that the English Court wish for the abdication of the Prince of Russia, and that the Queen's young son-in-law, Prince Frederic, may try his hand at govern ing the country." For the Raftsman's Journal.- Mr.' Editor. I have been looking in your columns to find a production on the subject of Education. 1 am surprised that your columns are net dotted here and there, with arguments to arouse and interest the public mind, on this too much neglected subject.'. In the absence of better, give place" to the following, tho from one in the humble walks of life ; but with a soul full of love and zeal for the cause. I was happv to see in your paper a notice of a Normal School, to commence the fourth of May next, in the Borough of Curwensville. I am strongly impressed with the fact, that we all should be interested, and feel ourselves un der obligation to be active to increase the in terest ol the school, as it is held especially to benefit Teachers. If our County Superinten dent is willing to spend eight weeks, giving in structions, Teachers should avail themselves of the opportunity so kindly proffered them, and reap all the benefit from the instructions posible. Are not all tho leachers aware of tho fact, that the higher the grade of the certifi cate, the more wages they receive ? It should lie the aim of every Teacher, to obtain a Cer tificate of the first class. It is a fact to be la mented, that some Teachers in the more Rural Districts (having been employed for want of competent ones) are not capable ol properly explaining the first principles of Arithmatic and Grammar, or even of pronunciation f and the best teachers have ample room for improve ment. Let ns pause and consider for oue mo ment, the disadvantages these children labor under with such a teacher. Impressions on the mind of a child are last ing, and false impressions are as lasting as cor rect ones; the power of memorv in retaining past impressions, and its susceptibility of im provement, are vastly greater tlian is generally imagined- It is reported of Seneca, that he could repeat two thousand verses at once, in their order, and then begin at the end and re hearse them backwards, without missing a sin gle syllable. Cyrus is said to havo been able to call every individual of hi3 numerous army by his own name. Oyreneas, who was sent by Pyrrhus to the Senate at Rome, on an expedi tion, the very next day after his arrival both knew and also saluted by their names all the Senate, and the whole order of the gentlemen in Rome. Thus it appears that children are not ouly possessed of an ardent desire alter knowledge, but aro endued with the most penetrating and capacious powers of intellect, both for acquiring and treasuring it up in their minds powers which appear susceptible of in definite improvement iu this world ; and the inference, that may be drawn from this, is, that they will continue to be exerted with un interrupted activity, throughout an unceasing duration. Ignorance goes hand in hand witli vice and folly. With these truths before us shall wo allow our children to have their minds clouded with half doubtful and incorrect teach ings T or shall we urge upon teachers the im portancc,tho nccesity of qualifying themselves for this verv responsible calling 1 I think the response will be let us have "our teachers Edu calcit. It would afford me pleasure if 1 could find language to impress upon the mind of ev ery parent, the importance of having teachers well qualified for intelligently discharging the duties of the school room. In this connection, a word to Directors ; j'ou expect your Super intendent to take upon himself the extra la bor of teaching a Normal School a number of weeks every year. This labor is not imposed upon any other Superintendent in the State (that I know of.) True, Institutes and schools have been held of three and four days, and some have continued one or two weeks ; and on one instance -1 weeks; but the Superinten dent is not required to bear tho expenses or perform the labor of teaching ; these are borne by the teachers and friends of Education. Teachers are usually employed from a distance to perform the labor of teaching, and the dntv of the Superintendent, is to be present and superintend all. These Institutes and schools have been attended with enthusiasm, and a wakened great interest in favor of Education While the Superintendent of Clearfield Coun ty does not receive as high salary as many, and I believe most of the Superintendents in the State, and has probably as rough territory to pass over, in his travels through the Coun ty, in his visits to the districts in tho County, he gives his time and labor eight weeks to teach onrNormal School. I just mention this, that Directors may know, and see, and appre ciate. We had not enjoyed these advantages until last year, and the advantages of the Normal School last year have been seen ; and I believe every one that attended, received instruction that was worth treasuring up, and especially the instructions in tne art of teaching were reduced to practice and worked well. I have been thinking, and talking, about the impropriety ol'Directors keeping their schools, m their districts, during the Normal School. Last year a large numb r of schools were kept during the jNormal fcchool. 1 his is wrong Those teachers are employed, that most need the instructions of the Normal School. Direc tors in thus employing teachers are acting in coiisisrcni, lor wny ao tney wish or lruooso upon the Supcrintendant tho extra labor of teaching, and then employ their teachers to keep them awav ? I said we should all be interested, and throw off our indifference ; the interest of the Com mon school system demands our attention Other counties are advancing ; their sons and their daughters are having advantages, which will enable them to stand on an equal with their fellows. In attending these institutes, it is enough to move the coldest and most insensible, to witness the eagerness with which teachers a vail themselves of tho privileges afforded, and their anxiety to profit by tho instruction thus brought home to them. Tho Normal School I believe to be an important auxiliary, in Ad vancing the school system, and our interest in it should bo such as to make it the stepping stone to the establishing, in our County, a State Normal School. Lancaster County has taken the lead in this Cuml erland County af fords an example worthy of imitation in the united effort of the County Superintendent and directors, in conjunction with teachers and the public. I am making this communication too long. I invite the attention of those better posted up in these matters. Are there not those who have the ability and interest to set forth the steps to be taken, and the character of its works, and the arguments in favor of having the State Normal School in Clearfield County ?
