Educational Department, Proceedings of the Huntingdon County Teachers' Institute. [Colgruitrzu.] THURSDAY EVENING. Prayer by Rev. J. B. Williams. Minutes of last Session .read and adopted. Letters from Professors Ward and Campbell read and ordered to be' filed with the records of the Institute. Discussion on the importance of order and system in the school room conclu ded. Mr. Pletcher said he thought there.mas too much diffidence on this subject. There were a great many ideas advanced in the afternoon that he had never thought of. He had visi ted schools in which there was apparently no order or system, no time for study or recita tion ; some of the scholars talking, some reading, some writing ; the teacher too busy to converse with him ; all was in confusion and there appeared to be no time for anything. -He had asked the scholars what time they re cited certain lessons ; and they. said whenev er they had time, which often did not hap pen for two or three days. He had long been impressed with the importance of order and system, and would ask for further informa tion from others present. Prof. Tomlin said his teaching had been done in Colleges and Seminaries. He adopt ed the system of hearing the hardest lessons in the morning, because the physical and mental powers are then fresh. Drawing, painting, and penmanship were reserved for the last hours of the day. He had a regular hour for each class to recite ; this he consid ered the foundation of order and system. As teachers we should endeavor to set a good ex ample, and form the habits of students as well as train their minds. He would advise strictness on one point—have a definite time for each recitation, and when that time is out let the class go. If you extend your time you are intruding upon the time of the students and thereby doing them an injury. Mr. Baker wanted to know whether order was not important in Seminaries as well- as in common schools. Mt . Tomlin said he Was a great strickler for order : he believed it indispensable in all schools; he believed the best manner of se curing it was to adopt the course he had been speaking of. If students were disposed to be mischievous he would crowd another study upon them ; give thentso much to do that they would have no time for mischief. He had known some excellent teachers who could not keep order, and some rigid discip linarians who were poor teachers. A man's face, he said, was often more potent in pre serving order than all the words he could use. Positive sternness backed by kindness, he Considered the true element of success. A teacher should have a few common sense rules and give his students to understand that he wanted their common sense to gov ern them. He did not believe in threatening. If the teacher is firm and assumes his posi tion ; giving them to understand that he is their friend and at the same time their mas ter, there is not much difficulty. In concluding, he said there was much ego tism in human nature. Teachers are not ex empt from it. But we should be careful ; there are sharp eyes watching all our move ments. He had known teachers to cdnsume half an hour trying to explain what they knew nothing about rather than acknowledge their ignorance to the class ; whilst some' of the class probably knew the trick and from that moment lost confidence in the teacher. Mr. Hall, in reply to Mr. Baker's objec tions to canvassing the district, said if he could not make it Suit to do this preliminary work before the time fixed for opening the school, he had always been able to prevail on the district to delay a few days and afford him the opportunity. In fact he would not take a" school without it ; it was the only means of making sure a good beginning, which with him was a matter of great mo ment. He urged teachers to try the plan, and assured them that they would be amply repaid in the awakened interest of their , charge at the outset; and the greater success of their after labor in the schoolroom. He hoped all would, on next going into a new district make the effort at any sacrifice of covenicnce. - He, Mr. H., was much pleased with the spirit and general tenor of Prof., Tomlin's remarks, and thought his system admirable for the College and Seminary. He rejoiced to learn that we had in our neighborhcod an` Institution under the rigid course of study described by him. Thoroughness, he had reason to fear, was not, as in the olden time, a distinguishing characteristic of our higher schools. He agreed heartily with the gentle man in all he had said about perfect recita tions ; their importance could hardly be over rated. His own practice was to detain eve r v scholar that failed in any of the principal lessons and give him another hearing after school hours, or require a review in addition to the regular lessons assigned for the next day. He regretted that some parts of the Professor's system were not practicable in our mixed, common schools. Hearing the older classes and most difficult recitations first, though decidedly proper in collegiate instruction, where the lessons are all prepar ed in the private study, and where there are no small children "to weary with waiting"— was not admissible in common schools.— Our boys and girls do not generally prepare their lessons at home, but in school under the eye of the teacher. In his experience he had rarely found the classes in geography, grammar, history, philosophy &c., prepared to recite at the opening of school in the morn ing. They must have time for preparation, and during that time he heard the small chil dren spell, read, count, &c; then the classes in primary geography, oral arithmetic &c.; and thus went on to the top of the scale. Two of the most advanced classes were generally re served for the last half hour of each session, when, the other work being done, there was less to divert either teacher or class from the business in hand. He agreed with Mr. Pletcher end others, that in common schools the youngest classes should be first heard ; and it was his custom also to dismiss these nearly an hour before the regular time of clo sing school. But this last was not proper under all circumstances- It should always be done in towns, perhaps not generally in the country. ' On the plan of having afixed time for each recitation, Mr. H. said he did not thi.ik it possible to make thorough work in a com mon school if the teacher was strictly limit ed, tied down to a specified number of min utes, for hearing each class. He had tried it effectUally and failed, and he had known oth ers to fail. When a young man he had thought the decipline of the school could and should be reduced to military precission, and all the exercises to mat henaaticai accuracy. Re had long since discovered that these no tions were visionary, and that the machinery of the school-room was a little different from clock-work. There must, however, be meth od in the hearing of recitations, as in every thing else. The teacher must have a com plete programme of the day's work distinct ly before himat the time he begins it; the classes must know in. advance how much they will be called on to recite and when it will be done ; and the teacher should be able to judge nearly what time the proper hear ing of each lesson assigned, will occupy.— By carefully attending to these points. he might so vary the time devoted to each class as to suit the condition of his school and yet avoid confusion. The professor of a college, while hearing a class, had, he said, no other present duty to divide his attention ; the tea cher of a mixed school was not thus exempt. To keep up the interest of a single class was the pastime of the 'professor ; this was one thing. To preserve order and quiet industry in six or eight additional classes at the lime of recitation, was the task of the teacher, and was quite a different thing. The class instructor's system of recitation might be fixed and unchanging ; the school teacher's must be flexible and imit of limited varia tion. Gentlemen had said teachers are egotistical and lack independence. The former he would call a blemish, the latter a positive disqualification for the profession. The tea cher should be modest and unassuming, but at the same time perfectly independent- He should be willing to receive advice from all, suffer dictation from none. He should love his profession, and honor it by a manly maintainance of its reputation and rights.— He should consider his calling a high and holy one; and faithfully, fearlessly, and dis pile all difficulties, press on in the discharge of its responsible duties, holding himself re sponsible only to God and his own conscience. Essay by Mr. Benedict—subject, Law of Success. Messrs. Hall, Stewart and Keith appointed a committee to procure a copy for publication. State Temperance Convention A Slate Temperance Convention was held at Harrisburg on Wednesday last, at which the following resolutions were unanimously adopted: WHEREAS, it has pleased a gracious Prov idence to permit the friends of Prohibition to meet in mass convention after another year's labor in this work of humanity, and whereas, our cause has greatly prospered in this, and other States, since we last met, therefore, Resolved, That as we rely on Divine wis dom to guide, and upon the Divine blessing to crown our labors with success, we would express our grateful acknowledgements for the prosperity of the past, and most earnest ly implore the continuation of God's watch ful care and protection, in all our efforts to protect society from the evils of intemper ance. Resolved, That in the election of the lion. James Pollock to the office of Governor of this State, he being pledged in favor of Pro hibition, ve have a sure evidence that the ' people desire the passage of a prudent and efficient Prohibitory . Liquor Law. Resolved ; That in judging of the true char acter of the late vote on the question of Pro hibition, it should be borne in mind, that while a majority of the votes cast may elect a candidate to office, nothing less than a ma jority of the whole vote of the State, can in dicate the opposition of public sentiment to a prohibitory law. Resolved, That as the legislature of 1854 forced upon us the necessity of voting upon the question of Prohibition—without the law —in the face of our protest, and in the pre amble of their bill declared the intention to be "the obtaining of a - correct indication of popular sentiment," for the benefit of the present session, therefore, the failure of the liquor party to poll a majority of the votes cast for Governor, against a Prohibitory, Law under the most favorable circumstances for them, is, and should be considered as an in dication of popular sentiment in favor of the law. Resolved, That we endorse the position of the delegate Convention in June, and claim that we are of right entitled to all the votes not cast against a Prohibitory Law, as those who did not vote cannot be considered as hos tile to it. Resolved, That as a majority of the dis tricts and counties of the State have given majorities for the law, and as they are repre sented by a majority in both houses of the Legislature, we therefore consider that the representatives are thereby instructed to vote for a mild and prudent Prohibitory Law, for the whole State, upon the established princi ple that a representative is bound to obey the will of his constituents. Resolved, That in advocating the passage of a Prohibitory Law, we are contending for a great principle, and not for any particular form of action ; therefore, any efficient law which deprives the liquor traffic of the pro tection of government, and prohibits the sale of intoxicating liquors, as a beverage, will receive our sanction and secure our sup port. Resolved, That in the construction of a Prohibitory Law, we desire the penalties to be as mild as is consistent with efficiency, and recommend the leaving out of all fea tures that are justly obnoxious, or of doubt ful constitutionality. Resolved, That as the miseries of the li quor traffic fall the most heavily on women, who have no votes, and as it is well known that nine-tenths of them are in favor of, and earnestly implore relief at our hands, it be comes more than ever the duty of the Legis lature to protect them, as they have no means of protecting themselves. Resolved, That we will support those who support our cause, and under no circumstan ces will we adhere to any party which either abandons or opposes the principle of Prohi bition. State Agricultural Society The annual meeting of the Pennsylvania State Agricultural Society, was held at Har risburg on Tuesday, and an election of offi cers took place.

Female Library Association. J. Higgens & Son. Sheriff's sale. Administra tor's Notice. New Street File Works, Phila. 7 Gov. POLLOCK has announced the fol lowing appointments: ANDREW G. CURTAIN, Whig K. N., of Bellefonte, Secretary of - the Commonwealth. Thos. E. FRANKLIN, Whig K. N., of Lan caster, Attorney General. JOHN M. SULLIVAN, Whig K. N., of But ler, Deputy Secretary of the Commonwealth. HENRY C. HicsoK, of Lewisburg, (once a Democrat, but for several years past the edi tor of an opposition paper in Union county,) Deputy Superintendent of Common Schools. From the appointments already announced by Gov. P., the fact is pretty clearly estab lished that Know-Nothing Democrats may knock but the door wont be opened unto them. INAUGURATION OF GOV. POLLOCK.—The Harrisburg papers agree that there was a great crowd, and more "noise and confusion" at the seat or government on inauguration day than was ever known to be there before. By Tuesday morning fifteen uniformed com panies had arrived, numbering over one thou sand men. The number of people, great and small, including about eight thousand who would not refuse office, was variously esti mated at from eight thousand five hundred to fifteen thousand. The Union says an inci dent occurred during the ceremony of admin istering the .oath to Gov. P. It was this.— When the Speaker of the Senate said to him —'you do swear you will support the Con stitution of the United States," Gov P. bowed, and as he did so the scaffolding upon which they stood broke down. It was omin ous, adds the Union, and indicated that the time was coming when there would be a break down of this Know-Nothing party. Pennsylvania Legislature. After reading over several columns of pro ceedings as reported for the Harrisburg pa pers, we can give nothing of interest as hav ing been acted upon by either'tbe Senate or the House. "Time killing talk" is the order of the day every day, and not until after the election of a United States Senator, can much of interest be looked for. Two or three li quor bills and a number of others of a local character have been read—petitions presen ted, and the standing committees instructed to report business for consideration. Webster and Everett on Know-Noth- ingzsm. The voice of the illustrious statesman of Marshfield, Daniel Webster—incomparably the greatest man the opposition to the democ racy ever producedin this country—was once respected by his party when he enunciated political sentiments. Not many years since Daniel Webster thus expressed himself : " Alt secret associations the members of which take upon• themselves extraordinary obligations, and are bound together by secret oaths, are naturally sources of jealousy and just alarm to others, are especially unfavora ble to harmony and mutual confidence among men living together under popular institu tions, and are dangerous to the general cause of civil liberty and good government." Mr. Everett, when goyernor of Massachu setts, said in his inaugural address in 1836 : " All secret associations, particularly such as resort to the aid of secret oaths, are . E)ecu. liarly at war with the genius of republican 00vernmen t."

The Detroit Democrat, the Detroit Tri bune, and several other western papers that were decidedly in favor of the Know-Noth ing party, have come out in open hostility to the principles of the secret order, HURRICANE IN PHILADELPHIA.—The Phil ad:>lphia Bulletin, of Monday says : " Duriag last night the city was visited by a furious storm of wind and rain, which ex ceeded any similar storm that has been expe rienced for many years. Several buildings were blown down, others were.un roofed, trees were uprooted, vessels were sunk, the Mar ket street bridge was partially unroofed, awn ings were torn to ribbons, fences were pros trated, and a general scattering of moveable property took place."

No CHANGE IN THE CABINET. The Wash ington Union of a late date, has the follow ing authorative notice : It is well known that we do not attempt to contradict the numberless falsehoods daily sent, or which purport to be sent by tele graph or otherwise, from this city in relation to the President and the different members of his cabinet; but the intention of Mr. Guthrie to resign is announced with such an assur ance of reliable authority, that we deem it proper to say that it is without the slightest foundation in truth. Such an idea was-nev er entertained for one moment either by the President or the Secretary, and we may as well add, that the rumors which have gained circulation within the last eighteen months with regard to contemplated changes in the cabinet, and all rumors of dissensions be tween its different members, or between any one of them and the President, are each and all absolutely and entirely groundless. A Lawyer Drowned About nine o'clock last evening, Clinton Welch, aged about 30 years, a lawyer and re sident of Lewisburg, Union County, Pa., was accidentally drowned in the Delaware above Chesnut street. Every effort was made to save him, but all in vain. His hat, which floated on the surface of the water, was pick ed up by officer Elton head and taken to the station house. This morning., sergeant Grant, of the 6th ward, proceeded to the store of the makers, Messrs. Sullender & Pascal!, in Market street, and the name of the deceas ed was ascertained. Mr. Welch had attend ed the inauguration of Governor Pollock, and came to the city on Wednesday evening. In company with a friend, he stopped at the store of Messrs. S. & P., yesterday morning and purchased the hat. His body has not been recovered ? The unfortunate man, when he arrived in the city, took lodgings at the American Hotel.—Phila. Bullztin, Jan. 19. THE WAR IN THE CRIMEA, An American Sea Captain's Opinion. The Boston Journal publishes the follow ing letter from the captain of the American steamship Benjamin Franklin, now employ ed as a transport in the Black Sea : KAMEISH, CRIMEA, Dec. 12, 1854. The place from which I date this letter, (ex pectin °. to be the bearer of my own despatch es as far as Constantinople to-morrow) is the post occupied chiefly by the French as Balak lava is by the English, and is about seven miles distant from Sebastopol. The harbor is excellent, and well protected from south west gales, which are the most violent winds of the Black Sea. There are now in port 280 transports, be sides some 15 or 20 men-of-war. Most of the former are stationary store ships, many of which have been lying here since the oc cupation of the port in October. There are besides now in the harbor several steamers in the service of government, which, like my own, are discharging or receiving cargo and troops. Of the latter we brought about 400,. and every day brings fresh arrivals of them. Being chartered to give all our capacity to the service of the government, the full benefit of the term is taken, and after filling nearly the whole ship with cargo, excepting the coal bankers, the decks are covered with troops. Now for the "seat of war !" Here we are, where ' , Death-shots, filling thick and fast, Like lightnings from the mountain cloud," don't hit very often however. But the noise is all around us. By walking three or four miles, a safe and convenient spot may be se lected where the camps and Sebastopol may be seen. Our engineer, being an inquisitive Yankee, and wishing "to see just how things were, because he knew he should be asked at home," became very nearly not able to give the desired information, as a shell dropped within a yard or two of him, and covered him with dirt. He picked up a piece of it for Barnum, and he has not extended his walks in that direction since. I have no doubt you are all waiting to hear by the "next steamer" of the fall of Sebasto pol. Now mind, I may be mistaken, but you will wait a while longer. The siege drags heavily. No general attack has been made, and none can be mane. The force in Sebas topol is supposed to be no more than 25,000 men, but there are at least' 100,000 men ho vering about within a few miles-or leagues. A general attack on the fortress would bring this immense herd down on the unprotected ports of Balaklava and Kameish, and upon the rear of the besiegers. In fact the allies may now be considered as the besieged. Sorties are continually made upon -their outworks from the forts, and the only wonder is, that they are not more often attacked by the force outside. A tremei, does firing was heard from 5. o'clock till mid night last night, and it appears this morning that the Russians made a sortie and were re pulsed, but card& off two guns with them. As yet there are no signs of provisions fail ing in Sebastopol, and though the aqueduct is cut off, they get supplies by night from across the bay. ft seems that they might re 3eive reinforcements this way, if they requir ed them which they do not. There are re, ports that part of the outside forces are reti ring for want of provisions. This however, is very doubtful, One thing is certain, that the allies are not very corrifortably situated. The French fare bet ter than the Engish in this respect, for, as I have already observed, their ideas of food are peculiar ; they are more accustomed to a poor diet, and can be brave on a mouldy biscuit and a little sour wine, whereas beef and por ter have to do with an Englishmans pluck. Besides, the French are better provided with tents and clothing and hospital stores. Still there is much sickness among them as well as among the English, though not to the same extent. The trimea, hereabouts, is a dreary, inhospitable country at this season, and the Russians have thoroughly followed out the Moscow system, and razed every hamlet to the ground that could possibly afford shelter. The great mistake the allies have made, (unless the mistake of undertaking this war was a greater one,) was that of not attacking Sebastopol earlier arid with a greater force at the outset. They are now about 60,000 men on a foreign soil, badly provided for, in the winter season, against 125,000 tough natives, either in a comfortable fortress, or with their own country behind them. It is true that the allies are frequently re ceiving reinforcements, but death is busy at work likewise, and doing his utmost to keep the balance in his favor. Again, the Russians know that they are defending their own coun try, whereas the French and English troops have very uncertain ideas of what they are fighting about, and evince but precious little enthusiasm. You have now the means of drawing your own conclusions. Temporal Power of the Pope In the U. S. House of Representatives on Thursday, in Committee on the Pacific Rail, road bill, Mr. Chandler, of Philadelphia, took occasion to exnlain and vindicate the Catho lics of the Ulitod States from the inculpa tions of the Know-Nothing advocates. The following is a sketch of the speech : Mr. Chandler rose in reply - to the Know- Nothing speech of Mr. Banks, of Massachu setts, who, he said, had made special and in culpatory remarks regarding the Roman Cath olic Church, involving in the inculpation the charge of latent treason against the members, or at least an imputation that there is an ar ticle of their religious faith which overrides all fealty to this . government, and which would render them unworthy of public trust, suspected citizens and dangerous officers.— Standing here almost alone, in the assertion of a fact which seems to be doubted, he was without the sympathy of a host of partisans to sustain him and to pardon the infirmity of his defence of the principles which he advo cated. He denied that the Pope of Rome has, or claims for himself, the right to inter fere with the political relations of any other country than that of which he is himself the subject, and he denied the right of the Pope, resulting from his divine office, to interfere between subjects and sovereigns and citizens and governments. While he made this denial, .he aeknowl, edged all his obligations to that Church of which he was an humble member. He would not yield a single dogma, nor explain it away to suit the spirit of the times. No ! He be lieved all that the Church believes_and teach es as religious dogmas, and must regard him self as involved in the general censure of the gentleman from Massachusetts. He clearly and distinctly denied that ,the power of the! Pope extends one grain beyond his spiritual relations, or infringes in the least degree on the duty which any Roman Catholic owes to the government under which he lives. If he said, by the Providence of God, a Bishop of Rome should possess himself of an army to invade the territory of the United States, or to assail the rights of our country, he would find no more earnest antagonists than the Roman Catholics! If I should not be here to vote supplies to our army, and too old to take part in the battle, I would be found in the privacy of my chamber, or at the foot of the altar, imploring God for the safety of my country and the defeat of the invaders. [Ap plause, which Mr. Orr, Chairman of the-Com mittee, checked, reminding gentleman that it was unbecoming in a deliberative assembly. Mr. Chandler resumed—lf the spirit o conquest should seize on the wearer of the tiara, and he should seek to subjugate Italy, provoking the arms of other nations against his own State, I would look on the chances of defeat of his arms as coolly and compla cently as on the mischievous. schemes of any other ambitious monarch. This was his-be lief, and fully and openly asserted by every Bishop in the United States. In proof, he read from the writings of Bishops England, Renwick, Hughes, Spalding, Troy, and oth ers. He scorned to utter less than the whole truth, and referred to other times, when the Pope dethroned kings, but only when it was required by existing constitutions or compacts for the benefit and at. the instance of the gov. erned. In the language of Bishop England, "God never gave to the Pope any temporal power to depose kings, or interfere with po litical concerns, and any rights which the successor of St. Peter claims for that purpose must be derived from some other source." He condemned the inequality in citizens, which the Know-Nothings seek to establish, saying that if this should be done it would be long-before that class will demand as a_ boon, what freemen claim, and in conclusion said, "With my hand on my heart, and my eyes towards Heaven with reverence, E ap peal to God to witness the truth of the asser tions which I have made, with the convic tion of knowledge and the credibility of the testimony I have adduced from others."
