JUi THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 1867. Our Public Scboolg. During the past school year, 725.312 pupils have been in attendance at the vaiious public school of the State a number nearly twico as great as the population of California, six times that o Delaware or Kansas, twice that of . Vermont or New Hampshire, and about qual to that ot either "Wisconsin, Texas, South Carolina, New Jersey, Mississippi, Michigan, Maine, Maryland, or Iowa. The total number of teachers employed tor tho instruction of these children is 16,144, or one teacher for every forty-dre pipU. Exclusive of the city and county if Philadelphia, tho percentage of atten dance is six hundred aud twenty-eight thousandths. That in, out of every hun dred pupils, something less than sixty three were in daily attendance. Supposing each echool in the State to be composed of forty-five pupils, only twenty-eight were to be found daily withiu the school room. The absence of the remaining noer,tcen may vVll cause us toponde Thougb tho school system of the State should present no other problem, this one would be sufficient to occupy the attention . f educators as well as others for at least live years to come. The question, indeed, of all questions concerning our schools, is the one of increasing the percentage of attendance so that it will range from eighty-five cr ninety per cent, to one hundred. It is scarcely possible to make plainer thau do these figures, the alarming nature of this evil. Of the thirty-seven absent ees out of each hundred, scarcely more than fifteen are detained from school by sickness or oiher sufficient cause. The other twenty-two are taking lessons ("receiving their education) on the street. These twenty-iico absentees are our future rriminals. In a few years, the laws of the State, as alao the customs ot society, will recognize their criminality as determined, and they will be looked upon as a class of the great community as a low, depraved ciaos, but nevertheless as a class whose itotus is fixed beyond change. Even suh of them as do not become steeped in crime will never rival in thrift, in intelligence, in influence for good, those who daily atrecd the sessions of the school. As to the causes of this absenteeism, we think ,thcy may.be divided into 1st, laxity cf parent al'government ; 2nd. lack of interest in school affairs j Cd, scarcity f well qualified, successful teachers ; 4th, natural aversion of some children to any thing like study. In naming the first three causes of the Tilf we imply the remedies lor all. "We do not so much need legislation, as a higher standard of public opinion in regard to the common echoolsol the State, "and a very great increase in the number of well qualified teachers qualified in scholarship, in aptness to teach, in patience, sud all the virtues necessary to being a successful teacher. Legislation which tends to secure either of these results, or both of them, should bo hailed with de'i-ht, but no act of legislation, nor any amount of it, can supersede the necessity of waking up the people to a lively interest in school affairs, nor of increasing the fitness of those engaged in the teachers' aliiog. Give us humane, patient, well educated, active teachers, who fairly com prehend what it is to teach, and we have no fear that the improvement in attend ance will be so reat as to make glad the heart of every friend the school system has. "But io get these teachers that's the question ; aud to this end. two sug gestions, one Iroru State Superintendent Wickersham alone, and the other from our schools than such work and the in creasing of the grade of the school cer tificate, bo as to exclude entirely from the profession -the more incompetent. We can see no reason to object to com pulsory education so far as the exercise of authority is concerned, but we may well inquire if a child can be expected to do much good at its studies when its parents send it there unwillingly ! And forego ing all thought of forcing attendance, we offer the opinion that a vigorous use of the means at hand will work wonders, and if the Legislature add to these the two changes advocated by the State Superin tendent and the Superintendents of the counties, all tho better. But no tegisla tion, we may say it at the risk cf repeti tion, can take tho place of increased efficiency ot teachers and interest among the people. Savages. The Ind ians are becoming troublesome on the plains. About a month since, some fifty of the soldiers gairifoning Fort Phil. Kearney, an advaucedoutpost, were decoyed into an ambush by the red-skin9, and were cruelly murdered. Sinee then, they have been growing fiercer and more defiant, as though the taste of blood in dulged in had only whetted their appetite for a feast. It is reported that 12.000 are on the war path, and endless priva tion and suffering are foretold for the settlers. United States troops in consid erable numbers are being sent forward for their protection. The cause of these troubles is in some measure to be found in the faithlessness of the Government, or rather its agents. By the terms of treaties entered into with tbe Indians, the Government is obligated to pay to them certain suras of money yearly ; but through tho dishonesty of Governmental agents, scarcely oue dollar out ot every ten reaches the hands of those for whom intended. Hence, the Indians have come to look upon these treaties as so many promises made to the ear to be broken to the hope, and, obeying their savage instincts, they seek rsvenae for the seeming treachery of the pale face by rushing into deeds of cruelty and bloodshed. On the principle that the "star of em pire" must not be allowed to be obstructed in its westward eourse, not a few newspa pers urge that the "stamping out" process be applied to the aborigines. Side, by side with the account of the Indian troubles, we read that a rebel re volt has occurred in Bowie county, Texas. The unreconstructed of that section have risen up again$t the Union men, and are butchering them like so many dogs. A reoman is among their victims. Other reports of a similar character come up from various quarters of the South. Now, the Indian is a savage by an ordi nance of the Almighty, and he only obeys an instinct strong as the love of life itself when he indulges in bloodshed, es pecially when, as in this case, he is moved thereto by real or fancied injuries received. The rebel, on the other hand, is held by popular consent to be civilized, while he has not even the poor excuse of revenge to offer as a palliation for his atrocities committed upon Union men. Surely, after the favore and kindnesses heaped by the North upon the South, it will not be said that the latter has cause for vindictive feelings against the former. It must therefore follow that while the Indian kilis as part of the business of his life, the rebel kills as pastime. It may be right to "stamp out" the Indians. But if so, it would be a hard question to determine why, by the same rule, we should not also and at the same 6ama time "stamp out" the revolting rebels of Bowie county, Texas. as the convention of County Superintendents j Uq 8 Quay, of Beaver, h -,t i introduced into tne House ei liepiesenta- are tsow before tbe Legislature, which to j tives at jjRrrifburg a rcsoiuliOD t0 cau a our wind will tend greatly to hasten the ' ouventioa t0 aroecj the Constitution of debired result if jnaia part of the school law of the Su.te. .The first suggestion is that the cumber of Superintendents be increased so that iosteau of one State Surprint endent, there be rirv. the duties of the additional one being the visitation of the schools and the teachers' institutes, nd that io each county the dii.rict Superintendent for whom the law ncm makes provision be selected by the iirec- p;de and aristocracy, was not long since tors from among the successful teachers, j lricj;en jrcm our organic law.

We, the undersigned, Elders of the Welsh Christian Church, south, Ebeusburg, Cam bria co., Pa., to whom was entrusted the investigation of the sad affair connected with Elder W. E. Evans, are now prepared to announce to the world the result of our investigations. The committee spared nei ther time nor labor in order to find out all the facts touching the matter, and have learned (independent of the woman's confes sion of having administered poison to htr husband at four different time3, and of her having surrendered the remainder of the poison in her possession,) that all the state ments made by Erans in the case are true, and are fully established by many credible witnesses, so that there is no room for the least doubt to linger in the minds of those who are acquainted with the affair, with re gard to the guilt of the woman. In the opinion of the committee, Evans is not only exonerated from blame, but is entitled to our highest regard and esteem for such an exalted exhibition of forbearance and christian spirit. The church at this place, in harmony with the church at Diamondville, Indiana co., hold themselves responsible for recommen ding our beloved brother to the eonfidence and support of the brethren abroad, as an able and faithful minister of the Gospel. R. T. Davies, Rexs E. Rees. Ebensburg, Feb. 4, 1867. Diamosdvillx, Pa. The Christian Congregation of Diamond ville, Indiana county, Pa., to the brethren scattered abroad, send greeting : This is to certify that we believe our be loved brother, Wm. E. Evans, ia a man of truth and hon?sty, and that his ebaracier, walk and conversation comport with his christian profession, and after Laving passed through affliction's furnace, exhibits a spirit of foibearance, of love, joy, peace, gentleness, goodness, &c, and we feel ourselves willing to be lesponsible for commending him to the confidence of the brethren abroad. Written and adopted by a unanimous voice of the church one member only being absent from home. James Davis, p1ri jKtKMiAuLouG,'-0"3- Diauoslville, Pa. Bro. R. E. Ries : I am willing to etate for the benefit of those whom it may concern, that I have perfect knowledge of all that transpired during brother Evans' troubles. I was one of those that helped to bring Mis. Evans. She partly confessed to me on tLe road, as we brought her. I was present at the church meeting where brother Evans gave in his testimony. I was acquainted with what transpired Lia the doctors were called in, as he lay under my roof and iu the care of my family, and I am tree to state that I think him a just man, and one that fears God, and as a useful minister of the Gospel, should be kept in tbe field.

EDWARD D. EVANS, Feb. 7, 18S7-6t. Assignee. TAKE TI3H - Persons hi The Late Storm. The hurricane blasts of the late storm had the effect of ub structing the tracks ot the Penna. railroad, along the Conemaugh Slackwater, tome distance west ot Johnstown. At this point, for the distance of about two miles, tho snow drifted upon tho track very rapidly, and a force of some two hundred men was necessary to keep it clear. Tho wind was so strong that the snow accu mulated on the track at the rate of about one foot per hour, although very little snow was falling from the clcuds, the greater portion being carried from the high ground adjacent. This space of two miles had to be cleared off, it whole length, no less than three times on Satur day, to allow the passage of trains. After -the "wind fell, the obstruction ceased, and the men returned to this city. Tbe pres ent winter has been very severa on the railroads, involving very considerable outlays for the removal of snow and ice, and the repairing of wrecks, etc., caused by snow blockades. Notwithstanding these drawbacks and disadvantages, the trains on the Pennsylvania Railroad, especially those carrying passengers, have been run with great regularity, and with extraordinary immunity from fatal acci dents. Pitts. Chron. It is known that Mr. J. L. Motley, American Minister to Austria, has re signed his portfolio of office, and that Mr. Edgar Cowan, has been named for the position in his stead by the President. The cause of the withdrawal of Mr. Mot ley has just come to light. It appears that some busybody traveling in Europe reported to the Secretary of State that Mr. Motley was not a "my policy" man, but, on the contrary, that he was an un conquerable radical. Mr. Seward wrote a rather impertinent letter to Mr. Motley, demanding to know if this were the case. Mr. Motley replied that it was true that he did not and could not endorse the President's scheme of reconstruction and wound up by tendering his resigna tion. His course will commend iUelf to the people as tbat of a good man and in corruptible patriot.
