of submitting the following Report :
First. The School-House. This school
house is located The situ
ation of tbe house is such, tbat with a
little trouble and expense it can be made
to look quite beautiful. But, as it is.
there is no fence around the bouse ; there
is no play-ground except the highway ;
and a few old oak trees in tbe rear, (in a '
field, where, of course, tbe pupils are not j
permitted to enter) are all tbat is near to
remind a person of shade-trees. There is
no bouse, shed, or anything of tbe kind
in which to nut the woon. mil. r . ned I
in warmine the house. There is no nriv v.
and it ia deplorable that tbat part is nearly
always neglected in building school-houses.
The house is twenty-four feet long
and twenty-two wide, with a ceiling eight
od a half feet high. It is of brick, and

it is very irregular.

tbe term, there was an examination and
exhibition, and the number of visitors on
that occasion was quite large. The visits
of the Directors were not very frequent
During the five months that I taught, only
one Director visited the school, and he
was there . only twice. The President of
the Board and the Secretary were on the
way to visit the school at one time, but it
so hsppened tbat tbere was no school that
day. Most of the parents visited the
school once, and some of them twice, but
I bad to iuvite some of them pretty often
before they did so. All the inhabitants
of this district, with very few exceptions,
are engaged in agriculture. Tbe district

states that there were three or four thousand i

that the pulpit is awaking as it has in other
j days and places to gianl Sin in a practical
j form. Were every preacher to oppose with

A Sumner and Kansas Sermon.
Tlymoutii Church,' Brooklyn, was
filled to its utmost capacity, last evening,
with eager listeners to a masterly sermon
by its pastor, Henry Ward Ucccher,on the
signs of the timcs,with particular reference
to the late outrage at Washington and the
embroilment in Kansas. The subject was
"Human Suffering," the texts cited being
John zi. 49 51, and Luke xxiv. 4t.

Suffering is a part of the original detiijn
of God. It is not, therefore, an evil, but
an enemy of evil. To be good, and to do
good, must be earned by suffering. The
Bufferings of Christ took hold on man,and
something more than tbat. It took bold
of God, and tbe tbrono of God, but Low
or why w can not tell. No man can ever
really love another, except Le be willing

with his baptism
Tbe measure of a man's love for bis
fellow creature, is to be tested by the suf
fering he is willing to bear for him. In
turn, every part of a man's nature asks to
be delivered from sacrifice until love pre
vails over them. As tbe tide of the ocean
flows and covers over rock after rock in
iu course, so love rises and covers passions
and vices.
How much a man loves a cause or a
principle, must be measured in the same
way. We can not measure it by reasoning.
Logic never measures a principle. Tbe
eminence we give a truth over all other
things, fixes tbe value put npon it. Can
a man give up business and wealth, honor
and happiness, more than principle ? Then
does be love tbat principle. But bow
many me"n run away from principle when
its enemies come after him with a torch I
Tbe world has made every step of its
way, up from barbarism, through processes
of suffering. Its leaders and guides bave
been purified as Moses was. Thousands
bave thus suffered, and the end is not yet
Christ's suffering was of a higher type and
a purer than mortals can realize. It is a
mistake to suppose that the world bas out
grown this necessity of suffering to look
upon such things as historical There will
yet be as much suffering as there ever bas
been. Men are just as little willing to
give np their rights, to passions, now, as
ever. The form of suffering bas changed
and will chance from ase to age, bat tbe
fact remains.
There are three periods of suffering for
truth 1st, Tbe annunciation of the truth;
2d, The struggle to establish it ; and 3d,
Ita application. The principle of Liberty
is now but an inch deep, it is only the top
of soeietv that it is applied to. When it
is carried down through strata after strata,
until it touches black, then there is indig
nation and opposition. The world grows
in rings in layers. Great truths can not
come to perfection until wo Lave suffered
and even died for tbem.
When great causes bave been made suc
cessful, then all men are ready to praise
God and glory in tbem ; bat when there
come rumblings and troubles, then they
are not to be found. That whioh Liberty
and tbe cause of humanity needs, in onr
day, is, Martyr-men to suffer for it We
Lave bad enough men who love it in songs
and sentimentality, but few who love it in
the hearts of those who suffer and die for
want of it. Liberty Las degenerated with
us to a mere instinct. We lovo money,
and business, and everything else, Letter
than it.
I love my country, and particularly
these Northern States where I was born
and have been brought up. It pains me
to speak of her faults as it would to de
nounce the faults or crimes of a fatber or
mother, but the time has come when they
must Le denounced, and denounced from
tbe pulpit, and therefore I speak. During
the last twenty years, the North bas been
giving evidence that Liberty is dying out.
It bas been startled np and roused again
and again, but has been easily lulled and
quieted by bribes and promises. We love
Liberty, but we love merchandise and man
ufactures, parties and emoluments, more
than that. As witb tbe golden apples in
the heathen legend of the race between
Liberty and her suitors, so the North bas

lie then referred in turn to the ontrage
at Washington. There are fifteen States
in this Union, said he, where that speech
of Sumnsr's would bring death or outrage.
Tbe ruffian who struck those blows,ia only
one of myriads. Sumner is charged witb
personalities, but tbe charge is baseless.
The same speech on any other subject than
liberty, (meaning the liberty of tbe black
man) would Lave provoked scarcely a ro
mark. Alluding to the news of tbe day from
Kansas, he rejoiced that liberty bas now
its martyrs. If ever there was martyrdom
for principles, it is in those who have lost
their lives and property in Kansas. Tbc
conflict Las now begun, and it will not
cease until liberty or despotism shall drive
its opponents into the sea. It can cot be
avoided. The principle having Wt
into conflict, it can not bo withdrawn.
Every man now must show bis band.
And let ns, on the side of liberty, not be
daunted. Be firm as tbe very rock, but
never forget tbat those who are the oppres
sors are your brothers. Abhor their prin
cip!es,but as men love them. Pray much,
that you may act more. Day by day let
us wash our feelings of all acrimony.
There is but one way out of this conflict.
Liberty in this land roust triumph before
peace can come. If yon bide under soft
speeches, if you go witb your prayers heaven-ward
and your hearts bell-ward, you
will have strife and suffering, and it will
continue to the end.

Affairs at Lawrence.
Prlntine; Oflirea Destroyed.
TOWN SACKED.
A special correspondent of the Aeie
JVA: Times, writing from Lawrence,gives
the following account of the entrance of
tbe United States authorities into Law
rence, and what followed
Lawbencb, May 219 P. M.
About 1 o'clock this P. M., the Sheriff
and his chosen posse made two arrests for
treason. They were G. W. Deitxler and
0. W. Smith. Tbe first is guilty of no
official act nnder tbe State Government ;
the latter -none, except tbat of being a
member of tbe Territorial Executive Com
mittee. They all took dinner very pleas
antly together, at the Eldridge llousc.and
about 3 o'clock a new posse of ten or twelve
rode into town, preceded by Sheriff Jones,
lie rode directly to tbe Hotel, and inqui
red for Gen. Pomeroy. Tbe General soon
appeared at tbe door, when Jones spoke
as follows : " I bave come bere, to-day,
to make a demand of this town. I have
often tried to make arrests, and, the last
time I was here, came near losing my life.
1, therefore, as the U. S. Marshal for Kan
sas Territory, and as Sheriff of Douglas
county, demand of yon ail your arms.
Bring out your rifles and stack tbem in tbe
street, and carry your cannon to tbe field
yonder, where you see our men. Bring
them all out and stack tbem together, and
as many of you as can prove them to be
your property, to our satisfaction,sball have
tbem returned, and I will give a receipt
for the remainder." lie then gave us half
an hour to bring them forward, but when
the time expired we could only find one
mounted howitzer and three breach load
ing iron cannon, not mounted ; we bad no
rifles tbat were publie property. At this
akej naamnii iaaatia.fi arl. mail am szil1a
man remarked that be Lad supposed there
were rifles enough here to arm fifteen hun
dred men.
Simultaneously with this affair.the creat
army of Kansas the embodiment of
Southern chivalry moved down from tbe
bill,aod planted their cannoo,four in num
ber, at the bead of Massachusetts street,
where they could rake the entire business
part of tbe town. About the time also
that the army commenced moving from tbe
hill, Jones made the remark, in conversa
tion with bim, tbat "the Emigrant Aid
Hotel must go down, and if Eldridge wan
ted to save his wife and children be must
get them out at once." Our people plead
with them to spate their property : but
Jones swore tbe Hotel should come. Col.
Eldridge, when be found tbat they were
determined to destroy the building, told
tbem tbat be bad over five thousand dol
lars' worth of furniture in there, and tbat
be should not movo out one dollar's worth
for them. Tbe mob took out a little of
tbe best furniture on bearing this state
ment tbe remainder was left
lino correspondent ol tne Missouri i
Democrat adds :J
About five o'clock, three cannon were
placed iu the street, twelve or fifteen rod
east of the hotel, and some thirty shots
were fired, shattering the wall considera
bly,but proving altogether too slow a meth
od of destruction for tbese "law and order"
men. They then set fire to the building,
in different places, and put several kegs of
powder under it. The flames and smoke
soon burst out at the windows, and the
whole building was in a blaze. The walls
trembled and fell, and the shouts and yells
of tbe mob proclaimed the triumph of
"law and order" in Lawrence. While the
hotel was burning, the house of G. W.
Brown was twice set on fire. The floor
was burned through. The fire was finally
extinguished by some young men of Law
rence. The mob threatened to shoot tbem
but tbey were not deterred. If his house
bad burned, several others must certainly
have been destroyed, and tbere would bave
been danger of burning nearly half the
town. Atchison, it is said, advised mod
eration. Col. Jackson, of Georgia, witb
many others, were opposed to the burning-
of tbe hotel. In the evening, Gov. Rob
inson's house was set on fire, and burned
to the ground. And thus ended, for that
day, the execution of tbe "law" in Law
rence. Une or tne posse was killed by tbe
wall, but no other person was injured.
The town was completely sacked by the
Executive's lawless mob. They destroyed
both printing offices and threw most of the
materials into the Kansas river. Every
bouse was broken into, trunks torn open,
money, clothes, books, keepsakes, provi
sions, all taken away or scattered through
the streets. The printing offices bad pre
viously been declared "nuisances," and
authority had been given tbe mob by the
now immortal Judge Lecompte to remove
tbem 1

will rise up a new life and a new power

ftSrln this conjuncture, what ought the
people of the north to do? Ought they
to submit and see the free settlers of Kan-
m unveu troiu tucir buiu.bj ..11
buuted through the forests like beasts of
prey ? Clearly, they ought not to submit.
They ought rather to accept the issue tbe
Administration invites, and meet force by
force. If we may judge of tbe north by
what we may see and bear about us, it
only needs the voice of a leader in wliom
the people bave confidence to raise a spon
taneous array tbat shall sweep the Admin
istration and all who adhere to it to a doom
more fearful than that which overtook
Lawrence. It ia not the ardent and im
pulsive alone who are moved. Men who
bave always hitherto avoided extremes,
and who have held abolitionism in detes
tation, freely express the opinion tbat tbe
time bas come to make a resolute and de
termined stand; that resistance to tbe fed
eral government is an imperative duty,
and that a civil war bad better be incurred
now, than to submit to further outrages.

A Good Deed. As will be seen by
telegraph, Mr. Breoks of South Carolina,
after the adjournment of the Senate on
yesterday, administered to Senator Sumner,
the notorious and foul-mouthed Abolition
ist from Massachusetts, an elegant and ef
fectual caning. We are rejoiced at this.
The ouly regret we feel is that Mr. Brooks
did not employ a borse-whip or a eoabide
upon his slanderous back, instead of a cane.
We trust the ball may be kept in motion.

Hints on Growing Squashes.

that it will be generally.
if not universally, preferred. Our first
bint to squash growers is to procure hte
seeds of one of these varieties, and to look
no further. If their experience accords
with ours, they will look in vain for any
thing better.
The planting of a squash, so that it
will do justice to its variety, reqnires spe
cial preparation. If your soil is well
trenched two feet deep, and manured at
tbe rate of half a eord to tbe sqare rod.you.
may plant without further care. But in
most gardens, with the mould less than a
foot deep, and a Lard sub-soil, a hole
should be dug three feet across, and two
feet deep. Put the sub-soil bj itself.
Fill tbe bole half full of compost ;a
which muck forms two-thirds of tba
bulk. Fill tbe remainder witb surface

When the young plants are fairly np,
and there should be at least six of them,
the bugs will lay claim to the whole, and
will be sertain to Lave them unless yoa
froestall their operations. Sprinkle tiam
with a powder made of four parts piaster
of Paris, and one part Peruvian guano.
Tbe powder sbonld be thoroughly mixed,
or tbe guano will ba likely to destroj the
leaves. It should be applied immediately
after every shower, if it rains twiee a day.
The only safety for the plant is, in having
every part of tie surface of tbe leaves
sprinkled with tbe mixture. They will
need close watching fur some ten days,
J tuUa likely there will be occasion to
use tbe thumb and finger npon w Wnaj
after tbe dredging-box. But this is the
best safeguard we bave ever tried, and the
guano, gradually dissolving in the dews
j and rains, makes the young plants push
j along rapidly. Leave but three plants is
