S. J. mOW, DITOK ASD rROPKIBTOR.
CLEARFIELD, PA., MARCH. 20, 1867.
Deajth. of Gen. Joseph Markle.
' It ia with no ordinary Borrow that we an
nounce the death of another of Pennsylva
nia's venerable citizens, General Joseph
Markle, who died -at his residence, near
West Newton, Westmoreland county, at 5
o'clock on Friday morning, March 15th, in
the 9 1st year of his age. The deceased was
born in 1776, on the same farm on which he
died. . He had for many years been regard
ed as a bright connecting link between our
early history and the present. In the war
of 1812 he commanded a company which he
had recruited at his own expense, and which
performed good service in behalf of oar
country in that unequal struggle with Great
Britain. He was identified with the inter
est of the old Whig party, and in 1844 was
its candidate for gubernatorial honors in this
State. . Many of our readers will remember
how vigorously that campaign was conduct
ed, i It resulted in the election of Francis
R. Shunk as Governor.over General Markle,
by a bare majority, or forty-five hundred.
The deceased did not retire from active pol
itics for some years after, and although pos
sessing influence throughout the State, nev
er again, we believe, permitted his wtme to
be used as a candidate for office. He has
ever been identified with the Union Repub
licans,, and during the rebellion the Govern
ment had in him a firm . friend and staunch
supporter of all its acts to crush a wicked
rebellion.' In private life the deceased was
universally esteemed, and has left a large
circle of friends and acquaintances who will
long cherish his name, and ever associate it
with pleating recollections. . ' ,
DESTRt CTiVB Flood. A dispatch from
Nashville to the Cincinnati Gazette' says:
'.'The suffering at Chattanooga and other
places on the Tenneiwn river ia appalling.
At Chattanooga on the 12th the water was
from twelve to twenty feet deep in the city,
many of the houses toppling over and others
floating away.' The Mayor, with a posse ot
citizens and soldiers, : was foraging among
the loaded cars for food. . The. agents 'of the
road protested, but the Mayor said the peo
ple were starving. Twenty-fire dead bodies
were seen floating down the river at Bridge
port Ala., on the 12th. " The loss of prop
erty is estimated at a million of dollars.
General Carlin1at Nashville, was making
efforts toT send "rations through to Chatta
nooga, ;: .-) , . .''."' . .
Death or a Soldier. Col. B. 31. Mor
row, late of the 205th Penn'a Volunteers,
died of consumption, in Scotch Valley, Blair
countyj on March 5th. The deceased was a
native of Blair county : He entered the
service in 1861, as a Lieutenant in the 84th
Regiment, and was severely wounded at
the battle of Winchester. Subsequently he
was Major of abattalion of cavalry, and af
terwards Major of the 205th Regiment.' In
the gallant attack on the famous "Fort
Hell," in front of Petersburg, he lost a leg,
and was afterwards breveted "Lieut Col,
as a tribute to his gallantry on that occasion.
His death is deeply lamented by his rela
tives, and his numerous adniirirg neighbors
and frienda.' . .' .
Putting on Airs. The retiremenfcof
the French from.. Mexico has had the effect
of betraying,' or perhaps of producing, a
"bad state of feeling between the Mexicans
and them.- The natives show a decided an
tipathy to'tfie foreigners, not confining their
offensive demonstrations to the French, but
extending them to all outsiders, not except
ing their dear friends from the United States.
They say they have Jdriven out the' French
and are able to drive out all other intruders
Americans as well as the rest. :'. They seem
to put on as many airs as some of our South
ern brethren do, and, it must be. confessed,
with rather more reason. .-. . .: r
A Friend or St.' Marie Murdered.
Since -St. Marie left Rome, a friend of his,
Charles Caxe, in the Papal Zuaves, who had
known Surratt.'r has' been murdered. '.. It ia
supposed that he was killed because it was
suspected that he knew of and aided in the
arrest of Surratt. While St. Marie was in
Rome, after Surratt' 8 arrest, he received
letters threatening his death if he came to
the United States. " ' 1 '"i0:i ' "'

A State Normal School.
The following paragraph, in reference to
the establishment of Normal Schools in va
rious sections of the State, we clip from the
correspondence of the Pittsburg Commer
eta I:
"Profcraor MTtckerfbaai, State Superintendent
of Common School, will be in Pittsburgh Tb art
day. April 4th. and will lecture npon the subject
of Common School Education. From thence be
goes to Beaver, New Castle. Meadville and Ed
iuboro and 'lirard, in Erie county. AtEdinborb,
the inhabitant arc making An eflfort to secure the
location of a fctate formal school. The tour will
close at Warren. At Beavei the citizens arc also
anxious for the location of a State Normal School.
The School Trustees of Warren complain that the
citit ens do not manifest as much Interest in the
cause of education as tbey should, and Proftwor
Wickersham hopes, by lecturing and conversation
among them, to awaken more teal, .and a larger
public spirit.
Now, would it not be wcl1 to have Profes
sor Wickersham tocxtend his visit to Clear
field ? Tbere is not a more healthy locality
in the State than this place, and, if the lo
cation for a School in Northwestern Penn
sylvania has not' yet been decided upon, an
effort should be made by our citizens to have
it established in Clearfield. We have the
climate, the means,- and the facilities of in
gress and egress, to constitute this a desira
ble locality. Then, why not make an effort
to have a Normal School in our midst ?
Wh will be the first to move in this matter?
How Long Does it Take ?
Most persons have very indefinite ideas as
to the time required for the passage of a tel
egraphic signal from one point to another.
For instance ; the general conceived opinion
of uninformed persons is, that it takes from
two to five minutes for a signal to pass the
length of the Atlantic cable, when, in fact,
the giving of the signal at one end and its
reception at the other are almost instanta
neous. The length of the Atlantic cable is
1,900 miles. " The trrrie required for a signal
to pass through the cable has been ascer
tained, by actual experiments, to be the 31
100th part of a second, which is equivalent
to a velocity of 6,130 miles in a second, and
notably less than the electric fluid upon land
lines, which numerous observations have
shown to average 16,000 wiles in a second.
Thus it will be seen that, were the earth envi
roned by a land line, the electric fluid would
traverse the entire circumference ot the
globe in a fraction over a second and a half.
That this statement will give many persons
new1 ideas in regard to the velocity of elec
tricity, and the rapid transmission of tele
graphic messages, there is little doubt,' ami
we now leave them to pursue the subject at
their leisure. : - r ,
V' hat Tiir-i TnlMl or 1 1 . There lit
been moie'of a feeling in the South than
has been generally acknowledged, that the
Governments erected by Johnson were fic
titious, temporary and. not to be depended
upon. Tbe Mobile Advertiser puts it very
candidly as follows : ; . Y . .
And after all. we do not lose much in the loss
of the system . of State self-government which
has been far more shadowy than substantial si nee

now being done by a Congress that represents a
minority of the American people.'1

An amendment to the School law has
passed the House, and will doubtless also
pass the Senate. The title of the bill is
"A further supplement to an act for tbe
regulation and continuance of education of
common schools, approved the eighth day
of'-May, Anno Domini one thousand eight
hundred and fifty-four." This supplement
provides that when the Board of Directors
or Controller of any school district cannot y
agreement with the owner ptocure a suitable
site for a school, they may take possession
of any suitable lot ' not exceeding an acre,
and build thereon, the damages to be deter
mined by impartial viewers, and the whole
matter to be settled by the County Court of
Common Pleas. The County Superinten
dent is required once a year to call upon
ana invite the teachers ,ot the common
schools and other institutions of learning in
in his county, to assemble and organize a
TeacheraMnstitute, which shall hold a five
days' session, and be presided over by the
County Superintendent or some one delega
ted by him. The County Treasurer Bhall
allow teachers at the rate of one dollar
for every three days' attendance upon such
institutes, such money to be expended by
the County Superintendent in procuring the
services of lecturers and instructors for the
institute, and in providing the necessary
bortks, and apparatus for carrying on its
wark. A report of the proceedings of the
several countynstitutes is to be furnished
to the State Superintendent. A very im
portant section of the supplemental jjet is
the one in relation to text books, which pro
vides that the school-directors of any coun
ty, at any triennial convention held for the
purpose of electing a County Superinten
dent, appoint seven of their number, pos
sessing the necessary qualification's, whose
duty it shall be to agree upon and select a
scries of text books. They shall be presen
ted for adoption by the several boards of
directors, such action to be of no binding
effect, however, unless confirmed at the an
nual meeting of directors and teachers, held
as now provided by the "3d section of the
Act of May 8th, 1864, and when so confirm
ed the books shall not be changed until af
ter the next triennial convention.
The Senate has done a truly humane act
by passing a liberal act for thecare of Penn
sylvania tHldiers' oprhans, and of orphans
of citizens of other States who died while in
service in Pennsylvania regiments. The
bill provides for the appointment by'!lh6
Governor of a State .Superintendent of
soldiers' orphans for a term of three years',
with same salary as Superintendent of Com
mon Schools, with his office at Harrisburg:
He has discretionary power to contract fot
good and sufficient accommodations for not
less than 150 orphans until 16 years of age:i
one such establishment in each of the J 2
Normal School Districts, if required; the
State not to be liable for the co6t of repair
insror furnishing institutions; Superinten
dent to receive from mothers and guardi
ans transfer of the care, &c, of the chil
dren, which shall be valid . and binding ;

withdrawal,, punishable as absconding ap

. The New York Tablet, an organ of the
Roman Catholic portion of the Christian
Church in this country, discussing the ac
tion of the Papal government respecting
Protestant worship in Rome, makes use of
the following strange language :'
If Protestantism had any, pretensions to
be the Church of God, or if iu ministers
went to Rome, as did Saints Peter and Paul,
with a divine and apostolic mission, the case
would be different. But they have no mis
sion ; their societies are all self-created and
self-commissioned, and against the ministers
of such societies the national religion, even
though false as was Roman or is Chinese
Paganism, has the higher authority, may
without any breach of religious liberty ex
clude them, if it chooses. No self-appointed
missionaries. or missionaries of self-created
societies, have any rights against the nation
al religion of any countrv, and no claim
even to toleration. The Catholic mission
ary has the right to freedom because he goes
clcthed with authority of God, and because
he is fent by authority that has from God
the right to send hjui. To refuse to hear
him is to refuse to hear God, and to close a
Catholic church is to shut up the house of
God. The Catholic missionary is sent by
the church that has authority from God to
send him ; the Protestant missionary is sent
by nobody, and can oblige nobody in the
name of God or religion to hear him. Our
Lord does not know him. Our irotestant
friends should bear this in mind. They
have as Protestants no authority in reli
gion, and count for nothing in the Church
of God. They can in no case have any au
thority higher than the political or national
authority, apd can do at best only what the
political society may do. They may retain
some Catholic traditions, some fragments of
Catholic truth, as well as some precepts of
Catholic morality, and so far be better for
the world than ancient or modern paranisrc .
but H-t they have no divine authority to
teach or govern, they have no right to send
missionaries to open places of worship
where the national authority forbids it
They have from God no right of propagand
ise, and religious liberty is in no way viola
ted when the national authority, whether
Catholic or Pagan, closes their mouths and
their places ot holding forth. They are of
those of whom our Lord says, and will say,
"I never knew you."

siderable celebrity as a , lecturer, his effort
being all in the same line. About a rear
