Mir The Steamer Africa brings a re

but the Russian Minister at Washington
pronounces it a hoax.
DID YOU Fin "3W-ALIAS FELTYI
It had been confidently hoped by the
Locofocos of our borough, that Samuel
would be afraid to show his unwelcome
phiz in out place after the expose which'
had been published in the Globe. Well,
election day came, everything passed off
quietly—notwithstanding the next was
St Patrick's Day in the Morning."—
The votes were counted off, when, oh ye
gods and little fishes ! Sam was there,
with a majority of seventy-six, with an
upward tendency. When the news was
announced to the a unterrified." there
was a quaking among firm nerves, a death
rattle in many a political-demagogues
throat, whose hopes of political elevation
and distinction was thus, for ever and aye
cut off.
Early in the morning she Locofoco lead
ers had marshalled their forces, and with
smoking pipes, and shamrock blossoms
they mingled the cross timbers of Jesuit
ism. They had confidently expected to
slay poor Samuel whilst he slumbered and
slept, but their consternation may be bet
ter imagined than described, when Sam,
the rogue, arose and shook himself, with
a strength increased by a little quiet nap.
The election in this borough may be safe
ly taken as a criterion of the strength of
the Know-Nothings, not only in our town,
but throughout the county. Every elibri
was made which could be made to elect
an Anti-Know•Nothing ticket. Every
vote was polled by the Locofoco party
which it could find. Every exertion was
made by the members of the Locofoco
party—Protestant, Jesuit, and Foreigner—
whi•:h laid in their power, and the sum to
tal of all their exertions and labors does
not amount to four-score votes. The
whole number of Locofoco votes polled
does not amount to the majorires that par
ty formerly claimed and obtained at this
box.
The following is a correct table of the
number of votes cast for the different of
ficers elected or rejected:

THE "HUNTINGDON GLOBE."
That our readers may know the esti.
mate placed upon this sheet, and those
that control it, by its own party. We
transfer to our columns from the Penn , yl.
vanian, the leading Democratic organ in
the State, the following letter:—
Correspondence of the Pennsylvsninn.
Letter from Huntingdon.
HumNabow, March sth, 1855.
. .
The Huntingdon Globe, the especial organ
of Simon Cameron in this county, you will no•
tics, feels the just rebuke administered to it
through your columns ; and whilst it does not
make a further attempt to justify the conduct
of John Cresswell in voting for Simon Cam
eron fur S. Senator, skulks in shame from
the exposure of its dirty work, and vents its
impotent rage upon the person whom the EDI
TORS suppose to be your correspondent. Here,
where the insinuations made by the article in
that sheet, headed "The Pennsylvanian and its
Correspondent," can only be understood, the
character of the young man attempted to be
traduced needs no vindication. His manly and
consistent course has placed him so far above
the little coterie of pirates that surround this
corrupt sheet, that he has excited their envy,
and failing to intimidate him by threats or to
'bring hits to the support of their measures of
plunder, by promisee of favor, they - tare now
attempted their favorite work of detraction—
a course always pursued as a dernier resort by
Cameron and his hirelings throughout the
State—in order to hunt down if possible every
Democrat who has the manliness to oppose him.
" Let them do their spite," as they will find
that they are gnawing at a file, and that their
slanders and brazes falsehoods can neither
harm nor intimidate him.
As it may seem singular to your readers
that any newspaper professing to be an organ
of the Democratic party, should have its col
umns filled weekly with fulsome adulation of
the Know-Nothing nominee for U. S. Senator,
and should take an open stand in his favor, it
may perhaps be interesting, to them to know
how it happens—as briefly as possible. The
Globe newspaper is a piratical sheet entirely
wedded to the interests of Israel Painters, late
Supervisor on the Juniata division, who is said
to have amassed a fortune in the three years
he held that office—how the fortune was made.
is a question more easily asked than answered.
This Ex-Supervisor is the supple tool and wire
puller of Cameron, and may be seen at Har
risburg and at all the conventior.s where the
interests of his master requires his presence.—
The catensible editor of this voracious sheet is
a brainless driveller and we will pass him with
out further notice—the real editor, and the per
son who wrote the articles in favor of Cameron,
is the satellite and mouth-piece of the Supervi
sor aforesaid. Ile is a lawyer of respectable
talents, and once had some standing in the
Democratic party. His vanity and self-adula
tion is proverbial, his favorite boast being that
he has "all the talent of his fitmily"—certain
it is, that he now seems to be striving for all the
infamy. Last summer, when Simon Cameron
denounced the Know Nothings, he also denoun
ced them, but a change has lately "Come o'er
the spirit of his dreams," and he says that he
is "beginning to hate the sight of an Irish
man." Ile was no doubt intended for an hon.
est man, but overweening vanity in his weak
ness, has been his overthrow. By touch
ing the chord of his vanity " he is easier to be
played upon than a pipe"—and in the hands of
Cameron and the ex-Supervisor, who pander to
his weakness, he becomes as plastic and sup
ple as clay in the hands of the potter. At the
Imperial nod of hie chief he hastens to do his
bidding, and though he should be commanded
to misrepresent public sentiment, pack a Com,
ty Convention, or vilify an opponent, he never
falters when Cameron and his ajutant requires
it to be done. His late zeal is in some degree
attributable to a promise made by Cameron,
that he Anil be the next State Senator—and
he will be, no doubt, if the people are not al
lowed to express their wish at the ballot box.
That the Globe, and those controllinet, should
have before the last State election been bitter
in their denunciation of Know•Nothingism, and
should now be chanting the praises of its nom
inee, is therefore no longer a matter of wonder.
Should the occasion demand it, you will again

ENGLAND•
The New Ministerial Crisis.
Lord Palmerston's Cabinet has already fal
len to pieces, owing, as was given out, to the
passage of Mr. Roebuck's resolution of inqui
ry; but ninny attribute it to private personal
squabbles among the different members.
Sir James Graham, First Lord of the Admi
ralty ; Mr. Gladstone, Chancellor of the Exche
quer, and Mr. Sidney Herbert, Home Secreta
ry, all resigned their offices.
Sir Charles Wood takes Sir James Graham's
place as first Lord of the Admiralty.
Mr. Lewis, an untried man, has been ap•
pointed Chancellor of the Exchequer. Rumor
says that Lord Elgin will have a sent in the
Cabinet, and that the Earl of Carlisle will be
appointed Viceroy of Ireland.
Lord John Russell takes the Colonial Secre
taryship, as a stop to the gap, but first com
pletes his mission to Vienna.
Lord Palmerston had been mush troubled in
constructing the Cabinet, and had not fully
completed it.
Rumor says that Mr. Roebuck's party will
not rest satisfied without the impeachment of
Lord Raglan, and one or more of the ex Min
isters.
The very inclement weather has caused much
suffering among the poor of England.
Lord John Russell has published an address
to his constituents, defining his position, and
placing himself in their hands as a candidate
for a renewel of their confidence.
On the 19th the royal assent was given to
the North American Pisheries bill.
The Convention between Great Britain and
the Porte, for the enlistment of the Turkish
contingent, has been signed.
An interesting debate took place in Parlia
ment upon the question of going into Commit
tee upon the Army estimate.
Lord Palmerston contended that the suffer
ings of the army in the Crimea arose from
physical causes in the power of no man to con
trol. The sufferings were not confined to the
British army. The Russian sick and wounded
amounted to 33,000 inn.
Lord Palmersion announced that the Earl
of Loran had been recalled in consequence of
his differences with Lord Raglan.
On the 20th., the Duke of Cambridge took
a seat in the House of Lords.
Lord Palmerston said that compulsory mea•
sures must unquestionably be resorted to in or.
der to fill up the ranka of the service.
In the House of Commons a discussion arose
with regard to the commerce with Russia since
the commencement of the war. It was stated
in debate Shot under the present system of
blockades, the interior trade of Russia suffered
no injury, while ten millions of pounds had
been taken from England to that country.
The right of search was urged as a necessity
in order to prevent the introduction of Ruesian
goods into Britain.
It was deemed not advisable to lay before
the House the Correspondence between Great
Britain and the United States on the interne•
tional arrangements during a time of war. It
was stated, however, that the two countries
were on the most.friendly terms.
Destitution in England had almost reached
its height from the combined causes of the an.
usually severe winter, unusually dear prices for
all descriptions of provisions, and the total
stagnation of trade. The poor were in a de•

industrious Hibernians to that place (wherever

A NEW CATHOLIC CATHEDRAL
There is a rumor in circulation, that arena.
gements are being made to build, in this city,
a grand Catholic Cathedral, which for size and
magnificence is to surpass any now in the
country, and in its construction te be somewhat
similar to the one at Munich. Your readers
will probably remember that Archbishop
Hughes, some months ago, sailed for England,
on his way to Rome, and it has now leaked out
that part of his business was to see about the
establishment of this Cathedral. It is said that
if a sufficient sum cannot be immediately rai
sed in this countay, the Pope is to lend a help.
ing hand and supply the deficiency, so that the
edifice may be commenced early next fall.—
His Holiness seems determined to take ;are of
his flock in this rebellious city, in spite of the
Know Nothings.
There has lately been a very interesting case
on trial in the Superior Court of this city. Dr.
Judson was formerly a missionary to Burmah,
and married the lady who was for many years
known as " Fanny Forrester." About four
years ago he died, leaving seven children,
tour by two former wives, and three by this la•
dy. Soon after bin death she returned to thin
country with her children, but with no proper•
ty to support them. Her friends procured the
services of President Wayland, of Brown Uni•
versify, to write a life of the late Dr. Judson,
which he did, and they Rave the copyright to
Mrs. Judson. Shortly after this hook was pub.
fished, a Mr. Fletcher announced that lie also
had a life of Pr. Judson preparing, smaller and
cheaper than the first.
Norton '
editor of Norton's Literary Ga
zette, inserted in his paper a short article cen
suring him for publishing this abridgement, as
it would injure the sale of the other wJrk and
take so much bread out of the mouths of the
widow and her children.
For this offence Mr. Fletcher sued Mr. Nor
ton, but on trial of the case, failed to recover
damages, the Jury thinking the article no libel
and rendering a verdict for the defendant.—
The trial was, however, a very interesting one
and lasted over two days, during which time
the Court-room was filled to overflowing.
On Wednesday last all the Courts adjourned
out of respect to the memory of the late Hon.
Justice Edwards, of the Suprethe Court, who
died on the Tuesday previous. Mr. Henry P.
Edwards has been one of the Judges of the Su
preme Court, or Court of Appeals, for nearly
eight years. He was the youngest judge ;n
point of yea., but the oldest in commission.—
His death is deeply felt; and as Hon. Justice
Roosevelt said in a short eulogy upon him, "He
is missed now, but he will be missed even more
by, and by." The Bench and Bar attended
his funeral on thnrsday, in a body.
The Belgian criminals, of whom we have be
fore spoken, have been released on habeas cor
pus. One of the charges against them was, that
they would not work in their own country.—
"M ill not work I" said .l edge Roosevelt, before
whom the investigation was conducted, "well,
Ido not know as that is so hail after all. We
have a great many young men in our city, and
some respectable and wealthy, and even aril,.
locratic young men, who will not work ; and
who, if they should take a trip to Europa,
would think it very hard to be arrested on the
charge that they would not work."
A tow months ago, the same judge was cal
led on to grant an allowance for the daughter
of a certain deceased merchant, to be applied
to her. education. He looked over the list of
studies, he., to be pursued, and as lie came to

Yours Truly, V. S.
Corruption at Washington.
It is time we had a reform in affairs at Wash
ington. Every day, by correspondence, pri
vate and public, by oral testimony, b' associa
tion with all sorts of men, we are impressed
with the conviction that Congress is wallowing
in a mire of corruption. Measures of great
moment were carrid through both branches by
means of utirestained application of money.—
Bribery is becoming a regular agency in ma
king laws. Of such a character we believe to
be the Collins line appropriation. The sum
involved is enormous, the influence that sways
it, single and unbroken. Thus ' this scheme
of all others, is the most triumphantly carried
over the broken and deluged integrity of the
National Legislature. The game of corny•
tion can lie played with exceeding boldness
for the cum at stake is counted by millions.—
The aeproaeli to thigress is made in the form
of a simple bargain. "Give us eight hundred
and filly thousand dollars a year, and take what
ahate you like for yourselves. We must have
the money from the Treasury, and we will di
vide the plunder in such proportions as you
lay." Substantialy, Weis the mode adopted in
procuring this appropriation. The applicatita
can afford to make a liberal offer, for what
they get a clear gain. If it takes one hundred
thousand, or half a million of dollars to carry
the measure through, it is all the same. The
cheaper it can be accomplished the better, of
course, but whatever the cost, the job must be
done.
We sicken with mortification and disgust at
this spectacle. We would shut our eyes to
such evidences of the fact as rise before us if
we could ; but we cannot. We see the most
astonishing Somerset. in Congress on this ap
propriation• Mon who have voted against it
and spoken against it now openly advocate and
silently support it. Former members of both
Houses, Senalors and Represennitives, throng
the lobbies ; borers, of every name and degree
consort with willing metnbers and strike hands
over the prodigal heaps of plunder, which the
passage of the measure unlocks to their eager
touch. Newspaper editors and newspaper cur
respondents present one front of uniform sp.
proval for the monster scheme. Hardly any is seen word of exposure or a word of
denunciation, but all over the vast expenae of
journalism, quiet, gentle, favoring zephyrs fan

EDUCATIONAL DEPARTMENT
By 3. A. Hall,
ster By the courtesy of DOCTOR BREWSTER—
a sterling friend - of the Teacher and the cause
of Education—l give below a Communication
and editorial intended for the Educational De.
pertinent last week, but unavoidably crowded
out. ISIA V. Eo.
Normal Schools.
itALL:-:l.T.iiBl;tei by you in the
Hut.tingdon papers, that there will be a Nor.
mail School started in that town next summer.
I believe that kind of school is intended to in.
struct teachers ; and I think that lsince the
teachers are all examined there is no great
need of schools for them to go to, and that the
project started a little too late. And I would
like to know what good a school of two or three
months will do to teachers or persons going to
be teachers. lam acquainted with others as
much in the dark as myself. But perhaps we
do not understand the object of these schools
fully. Will you be so good ns to let your reascl.
ers know what easy plans you have its them to
make scholars learn anything worth chile in
such a short time—rs good many in this section
would like to know. Excuse this liberty and
oblige an ENQUIRER.
"Enquirer" is rig t o its"believing that Nor.
ma/ Schools are intended to educate teachers."
Their special design is to prepare young per.
sons for teaching, and improve those who have
already some experience in the business. Oth.
er schools teach the various branches of learn.
ing. These do the same, and besides, give in.
structions in the ant of teaching. The course
includes all the branches usually taught in the
public schools together with the moat success.
rid methods of teaching those branches, the
most approved system of school government,
the best means of removing or conquering the
difficulties that beset the young teacher both
in school and out of it; and in short, all the
duties and qualifications of the accomplished
teacher of a Common School. Such will be
the object, and such the course of instruction
in the Huntingdon Normal institute to which
Enquirer" alludes in another part of his eon,
munieation. And though we cats not boast of
any "ease plans to make persons learn," we
are free ica promise that
,we will impart to our
'students more knowledge that will be practi•
catty useful to them in the school room, in six
weeks, than a majority of them would acquire
by ten years experience in teaching ;—more
knowledge of the tact mid skill which make
the successful teacher, than could be attained
in twice as many months in the best literary
and scientific institution itt the land, not site.
daily devoted to the training of teachers—l
would not be understood as claituing for my.
self or colleagues in our proposed Normal In.
stitnte, .y superiority over the average of good
teachers in the country. I have no such vain
feeling and make no such arrogant pretension.
But 1 do, nevertheless, feel sate in saying that
such are our facilities, that all young persons
who are good spellers, good readers, and toter
able arithmeticians, and who possess proper
natural endowments for good teachers, can,
under the course of instruction which, we intend
to pursue, qua:ify themselves to teach with ac•
ceptance, all the branches named in the first
class, or professional certificate. I do not
menu to say that even the most gifted can, in
so short a time, obtain a thorough knowledge
of these branches, or anything like it. What
I mean is that they can and will acquire such
a start—such a knowledge of the principles of
these branches—and such a system of selleul•
titre and daily preparation for their work—that I
they may . confidently engage to teach all the
law requires, without may danger of failure.
Having, I hope, satisfied "Enquirer" of the
efficiency of Normal Schools, it only remains
to correct his opinion as to their necessity.—
Here the statement of a few facts will suffice.
By the Reports of County Superintendents it
appears that less than one tenth of the Common
School teachers now employed in Pennsylva
nia, hold permanent certificates ! For Hunting
don county the report is more favorable. But
even here, out of 170 teachers examined since
last August, itt least 120 received only the tem
porary certificate I It is proper to inform "En
quirer" that tlasee temporary certificates are
only good for 01110 season, and that they will be
annulled in every case where the holder has
failed to improve greatly in his knowledge of
the required branches, or to give satisfactory
evidence, in the school room, of his ability to
govern and teach according to some approved
system. A few, no doubt, will so far improve
themselves this winter as to justify the Super•
iutendent in continuing their credentials anoth
er year. Butt without instruction and that of
the best kind, a large majority will not stand
the test, but will be compelled to seek other
employment, and what is worse, leave many of
our schools vacant for want of qualified teach.
era. This is not all. The instructions of the
State Departtnent to County Superintendents,
are that they shall not renew any temporary
certificate except where the holder s deficiency
in the required branches is fully compensated
by his superior skill and success in the art of
teaching; and further, that the professional
certificates shall be withdrawen from all those
who shall be found incompetent properly to
conduct their schools, no twitter what may be
their scholastic attainments. From these facts
it is plain that many persons must, it, oome
way, be qualified to teach our country schools
next winter, or a majority of-them will, as be.
fore stated, remain vacant. It is this state of
things that has pressed me into the service of '
the Normal Institute; and though I have no per
sonal interest in, or connection with the Public
Schools, I have always been o friend to the sys•
tem ; I like the new school low, and feel that
it can only be sustained by a speedlsupply of
well qualified teachers; and that thus induspen
sable requisite can be furnished in less time, at I
less expense, and of a better quality by estab• '
fishing a Teachers' School, or Normal Institute
in every county, than in .y other way.
If "Enquirer" is a teacher, I most cordially
invite him to come up to our "Institute." Ho
will find ''Old Huntingdon" a pleasant place,
the Normal School and its opplionces both in
teresting and profitable ,• ond if be is mods of
