is
The above figures do not exactly set forth
the true state of things, for instance in a mitn.
bee of the d straits voluntary contributions
have been mode to increase the salaries of well
qualified teachers. In the cost of teaching
each scholar per month there is a great !lit,
fereuee; this is occasioned by the fact that in
some districts the cost has been estimated by
the number on the list, in others by the
average number in • attendance;
,the latter
should hereafter be the basis for calculation.
In visiting the Schools during the last sessions.
I found but little uniformity-in teaching, each
teacher having his ON$ll mode, and there were
its many modes as there were teachers, each
supposing his own 'to be the best. This defect
w .s remedied to a considerable extent by or
ganizing Teacher's Institutes, so that at the
close of the session there was much more
uniformity th,n at the begiiming. From the
very little interestonanifested by a few of our
teachers in regard to a faithful discharge of
the da i ies of the school room, I was led to
ceuchiTle, that they had but an imperfect idea
of the importance of the qualificatiens of u
teacher, and greatly underrated their responsi•
ble station; the idea, that sufficient attain
meets in scholarship to entitle them to a
respectable certificate was all that was requi
site, was prevalent, whilst the study of a con
scientious discharge of duty seemed to be almost
totally forgotten. We had a large number of
well qualified and acceptable teachers, and
they were mostly those, who had been fortunate
enough to remain for a number of years at the
some place, who by their industy and intelli
gence had won the confidence and esteem of
both parents and children; this fact should
teach us, that when we have a good teachrer
we should not part with hint for the sake of a
few doll,,rs per month; a good teacher never
receives a compensation equal to hi-'valuable
services, while au incompetent 000 receives
too much, it he Eseeives any compensation at
all. lam .atistiel that some of our teachers
are cheaper at fifty dollars per month, than
others are at five. This thing of wanting "cheap
John" is a poor affair. The idea that almost
any kind of a building was suitable for a
schoolhouse must have prevailed when some
of them were built. lye have a number of good
houses, and as soon as the people will properly
appreciate.the health oh their children we will
not find such houses as some we have at
present. The school-house is the place where
we expect the children of 'a district to spend
from five to fifteen years; here the glad shouts
of the Children will be heard, here is the place
where their character is to be formed for future
usefulness, and the mind property directed
in the knowledge requisite for the buainess of
life Should it not therefore be a pleasant
_pineet___We alll anawkr.„ykia..._littLis_it_ent___No.._
Many of our school-houses arc ,entirely too
small, and badly located; and•when the organ
of order is not largely developed in the teacher,
we find a dirty floor and windows, the walls
decorated with cobwebs; also, rusty bucket, and
tins and other various ornaments, such as
spit-boxes, well filled with chewed, tob.cco and'
ends of cigars. Whilst there were not a few of
this aort,,thero were also trianyoThere there

extreme was in the same district. Ido not
wish to give offence; but I do not think that
our chilttten should be compelled to inhale
every Jame that may be raised by an inatten
tive and careless teacher. 1 generally took
occasion to call the attention of the teacher
and pupils to this fact. We have a great
many intelligent and active Directors and
citizens, who exert themselves to elevate u 7 a
schools, and yet, visiting ihe schools has bee'
neglected to an alarming extent in someof the
districts. If we wish to encourage our teachers
and children we must visit the schools; our
teachers are anxious that this good time of pap
tug them visits shall take plabe this winter.
Let all say we will go.
The examinaticus this full were much more
satisfactory than last year; there was more
interest manifested, many more 'persons at
tended, mid the teachers generally
_better
qualified. Many of our experienced teachers
had their salaries advanced, either by the
directors or by the patrons of the schools.
This increase of
,salary has excited quite a
number of young men, who feel willing to
nerve their country in this laudable business.
Sonic of thew have qualifications and some
are rather destitute. It may not be. amiss to
give the orthography of some who appeared
tur examination, and their qualifications in
this branch is a tolerably fair index ut their
expertness ia the other branches,— viz:—
(breadth) . for breadth, (bighth) for height,
(quoir) fur corps, (artilliary) fur artillery,
(tuff) fur tough, (mined) fur my ried, (schrude
tiess) for shrewdness, (superstishusly) fur
superstitiously, (disseeced) fur deceased, (pair
me a pear of pares) fur pure me a pair of pears,
&c., ac., &e. From this we might couelude
that the .titne /1115 nut yet arrived to abolish
the use of the buck. flue following
is part of a copy ul a letter received from au
applicant. "11ou. Dauiel Shelly Esq. County
Superintendent Sttl coutiuun seikuuls ' "Will
you please 'to send tae a coppy of all the
questions you intentd to ask Inc, tit? you

very Respectfully Yours &c."
From close observation I have come to the
conclusion, that we have thred kinds of
teachers. Ist. The original teachers, °who
originate ideas and put them to practice in
the school. 2d. Those who pattern utter the
'original teachers. ad. Those who neither
originate. nor pattern; very few of the lust
class would / be enough in my district. This

For the encouragement of the friends.of,our
common school system, 1 would say, that in

EXCITING NEWS FROM KANSAS
Application for U. S. Troops.
Telegraphic despatches have been received
from the West during the ,last week, giving
very exciting and alarming news from the new
territory of Kansas. The accounts are not
very clear as to the origin of the strife nor us
to the extent of the disturbance. We subjoin
the various despatches which have been re

St. Louis, Dec s.—The Kansas Free State
papers give the following aecount of the dith
unities in the Territory.—A young man named
Dow, twenty-two yilars of age, while ut a
black;mith's shop where several 'border ruff
ians' bad congregated, was deliberately shot
b y one Coleman. Au attempt WILS made to
arrest the murderer, but through the assist
once of his abettors he escaped to Missouri.
A meeting of the citizens, held on the spot
where the affair occurred, to inquire into the
case, pronounced the act a cold-blooded tour •
der on the part of Coletnan, and charged four
men, named Ilagus, Durk ley, Moody and Wag.
111. r, with being accessories. A series of res.,
lotions were passed and a committee appoint
ed to investigate still further, to SelnTil out j
the offenders, and to devise means to bring
thetn to justice• Sheriff Jones arrested Jacob
Bronson, at whose house I)ow lived, for the .
purpose of having him give security to keep
the peace; but while proceeding to Lecompton,
Bromion was rescued by a party of his neigh
bors. — slimes sent to Pawnee, Missouri, for
aid, declaring that the Governor of Missouri
had assured hip the assibtance of ten thou

Independence, Thursday, Nov. 29, 1855.
! List night and this morning many persons
from this city and county startvt to Lecomp
ton for the purpose of placing 'their services
at the disposal of the Governor. A letter froth
one of the editors- of the Western Dispatch
dated nt Shawnee Mission to day, states that
the writer• has learned that a number of viii•
zens are missing at hickory Point, and that
sixteen or snore houses had been burned.—
The Governor mills on law abiding citizens to
suppress the outbreak. Despatches from Wes
ton and St. Joseph last night state that large
meetings of the citizens have been held and
companies formed to go to Kansas.
A desputch from Independence states that
Jones, the Sheriff of Douglas county, Knn•as,
and acting United States Deputy Mal•shal is
still at Lecompton, with fifty two men, orga
nized filirhJ.quipped to aid in enforcing the
laws and • suppressing the insurrectionary
movements of the Lawrence people The lat
ter are organized also, and drilling for action.
They have five pieces of cannon and are re
ported to be well propared to resist and defy
the Ittw.
The "Law and order people of the Terri
tory which means the pro-slavery men, are
rallying to the aid of Jones, who has sent to
Shawnee Mission for a wagon toad of nmuni
lion, and fur cannon. Jones has a warrant
for the arrest of forty•two men at Lawrence,
and will pffeeed to execute it, we presume,
as soon as he is satisfied of the sufficiency of
his force for the task. Then the conflict Will
come, unless moderate counsels and reason
prevails, and-we-may have -to -chronicle the
slaughter of American citizens by those who
should be their brothers. The people of Law
rence refuse to deliver up the offenders, defy
the law, and declare that they will hang Jones
and Coleman.
As we said yesterday, the ,Free State men
of Leavenworth and other to‘Cfis are going to
Lawrence to side with the people of that
place on the fight The sky of the West looks
lurid. and we tremble every moment lea , t of
may hear the clash of resounding 'arias and
see the smoke of civil strife curling over the

Leavenworth to preserve the pence of this
Territory, to protect the sheriff of Douglas
county, and enable him to execute the legal
process in his hands. If the laws are not
executed, civil war is enevitable. •
An armed force of one thousand men, with

Lawrence. They have rescued a Trittomer
from the sheriff, burnt houses, and threatened
the lives of citizens. Immediate assistance
is desired. This is the only means to save
