N
pot ,trikingly evident. But the SuperintendeLt
who I, em. aged visiting achobla day by dry, and
ae k I.y week, receiving almost uniformly the
la hearted welcome of the teacher, and the
earnest and thoughtful attention of the chit=
wen, while he carefully observes their deport
went and measures their progress, and then talks,
them seriously, though pleasitatly, occasionally
delighting them with a humoroulf story, that he
may make the more lasting impression upon their
tender minds—he feels and known that as sorely
a , vegetation is refreshed by the gentle rain drops,
and stimulated to more vigorous growth by the
warm sunshine, so surely will children be benefit
ted and influenced to greater exertions and higher
and better •resolves by the instruction to which
they listen with such earnest attention, and re
ceive with such implicit confidence ;—he realises,
that by the teachers and the pupils, if not always
by the parents, his labors are appreciated.
Public Sentiment. A feeling of opposition to
the county superintendency, which has existed,
though to a limited extent, since 1854, culmina—
ted last winter in the circulation of a few peti—
tions for the abolition of the office. This feeling
has resulted more from misunderstanding than
from anything else. The friends of the school
system who understand the beuefit and necessity
of the superintendency, defended it in a 61111 but
friendly spirit; an explanation showing the mer
its and comparative cheapness of the office was
published in the county paper; the triennial con
vention assembling shortly after, raised the salary
trout $9OO to $1,000; and I think the result is,
that at this time the county superintendency is
more popular in this county than ever before.
The great want of the system in this county is
longer school terms. This, with steadily increas
ing wages for a few years, would induce our
teachers to remain long enough in the profession
to acquire some degree of proficiency. Then, our
children might reasonably hope to procure the
education they so much desire, and which they so
greatly need. The average number of months
now taught, falls below six. It ought to be im
mediately increased to eight or nine, so that com
mencing in September, our schools might contin
ue with little or no interruption till the beginning
or latter part of-June. To meet the additional
expense which this much desired change would
involve, our people are a npit in favor of a State
tax for school purposes, ora largo increase of the
State appropriation. We shall never he content
to pay 26 mills on the dollar for school and build
ing purposes. as some of our districts are now do
ing, while other counties enjoy longer school
terms and pay better wages, by raising one or two
Ladle on the dollar. - What we demand is, that
tls properfp of the State, by equal taxation, shall
.du.-ate the children of the State.
Summary of Labor. This report embraces a
period of only nine months; so I cannot give sta
tistics for the whole year. During the tat, years
'-at of three that I have held the office of county
Superintendent, I have held 76 examinations,
mostly public, examined 863 applicants, granted
710 certificates ; made 455 visits to the public
schools, an average of 1/ hours each, attended 22
institutes and other educational meetings. spent
4 - 40 days in official d i n written e .556 official let
ters, and traveled 43 Im . s on official business.
In concluding this report, I desire to express
my sincere thanks to the School Directors and
people generally for their uniform kindness and
hospitality to me while I have beeis laboring a
mong them. lam also under many obligations
s‘, the editors of our county papers for their gra
tuitous publication of all my correspondence 're
lating to Common Schools. To the 5110 teachers
with whom I have been associated as a co laborer
in the education of youth, I would say, God speed
you in your noble calling; and I would ask you
to remember me kindly to the 5,000 children un
der }cur charge : while of one and all, in an offi
cial capacity, I reluctantly take leave.

wish of many of you that the offices in your gift
be filled by those who have been disabled while
fighting to sustain the unity of our country and
the integrity of our Government against armed
traitors.
Belonging as I do to that class, having lost my
entire left arm in almost the last engagement of
the war, I can only say, that, should the people
honor me with the nomination and election, I
will endeavor to perform the duties of the post

ner as to merit the commendation of those to
whom 1 shall be so much indebted.
Respectfully, D. L. DEANE.

A CARD
We the undersigned, late members of the Wel!shore
fire company, having dissolved our connection with that
organization, deem it proper to make the following
statement explanatory of our action:
We united with the company. some of us at the date
of the organization, and others at a later period, far
the sole and only purpose of protecting the lives and
property of our citizerrafrout destruction by fire. We
had a right to expect the the citizens generally, and
especially the property 'holders. would encourage and
our enterprise. Many of them have given us their
cordial support. and the ladies especially have always
been active iti rendering assistance and to them the
company is indebted for repeated and substantial favors,
Nevertheless. there have been a few to oppose our ef
forts- : and their persistent opposition has at last sue,
ceoded in crippling our resources. and forcing try to
abandon the company.
It is Pell known that the fire company appropriated
large portion of its funds for the purpose of sinking
wells in different parte of the borough—an enterprise
in V, hich every property holder was directly interested.
Finding their treasury depleted, they decided to arrange
a celebration for the Fourth of July, hoping from the
proceeds ' - to reimburse their finances. After the ar
rangembnts were made, there were those in our midst
who sought to arouse prejudice against it, continuing
their efibrts until,the close of the day of celebration,—
So effectual were their efforts. the company finds 'Moll
loser. and can trace Its loss directly to the opposition
of men from whom we had a right to expect better
treatment.
In view of the factious opposition we have had to en
countet . tee have resolved to withdraw from the corn
patsy. hoping that others may be more successful in
maintaining an organization than wo have been. We
have no feeling of anger of resentment. In the fu
ture, as in the past, we will ever be found willing to aid
in the protection of property at the time of fire, and
assist to the extent of our influence and means, those
who may undertake to maintain an organized fire corn
pant. Whether they need our assistance at theibrakese!
or our support for a festival, or a Iburth of tdy
Crle
bratimi, they will find us ready and willing. In the
hope that a new and efficient organization will take the
place of the old one, we dissolve our connection with it
for the present.

• • FOR GOVERNOR
lAJ. - GEN. JOHN W: GEARY,
OF CUMBERLAND QOUNTY
The New Jersey "Democracy" pro
pcee to fling Hon. Jack Rogers over
board. That disposes of: one whale.
The dissolution of the Cabinet_at:
Washington is a fixed fact. It has tieen,
in the main, a " dissolute" concern, for
six months. Its dissolution was there
fore natural.
TENNESSEE, through her Legislature,
ratified the new Constitutional amend-,
ment on Thursday of last week. On,
receipt of the news, a motion was made
in the House to admit Representatives
from that State. It is probable that both
Senators and Representatives from that
State will take theft" seats before this
paper reaches our readers.
Congress may adjourn to-day. A res-;
olutiont i o that effect passed the House
some days ago. This, we apprehend s
will prove to be a great error. It
,givea
us pleasure to note that our member,
Mr. Wilson, voted against the adjourzt
men t.
THE SITUATION
It is said that every maternal crow
thinks her crowlets the blackest.
Every man regards histrief the deep
est, his pains the hardest to endure, his
life experience ithe most eventful, and
fullest of hardships. .
As with crows and men, po with na
tions.
For eighty-sit' years we glorified our
selves. We were the freeest, the happi
est, the greatest, the most. prosperons
nation ou the roue globe. That is, We
so announced ourselves.
Then came a great civil convulsion.
Then came the war—the second War of
Independence. Its proportions were
gigantic. We all declared that no such
war was ever before. waged. Not so
many Men ever took the field before. =
It constituted an era in history. This,
from out stand-point.
But the speculative philosopher, stand
ing alocif from the din and smoke of
conflict, away from its swirl of passion
and excitement, saw differently: What
did he see, and how did he regard
Thus, and so: He saw that one;thiug
happened' alike to all organizations
called nations. That the initial strug
gle for independence of outside ,dicta
tion came to aIL Then an interregnum,
called peace, likeivise came to all. Then
a grand struggle for equilibrium came
to all
But the result is not common to all.—
Some perish in the second struggle, and
the waves of history close over them
and hide them forever. Others survive,
renew their vigor, and figure grandly in
the history of mankind.
The lesson IS this : We who have
lived to see the surrender of the South
to the superior prowess and numerical
force of the North—for that is the his
torical fact- f -regard the late war as the
grandest of history: We say that no
people ever passed through such an or
deal ; none ever put forth such trernen
-dous efforts, endured so much privation
-and hardship. This is a self-announced
judgment ;
But, in rendering it, do we not foiget
that some nations have perished in this
struggle for equilibrium? We have
emerged from a four years war, victori
ous over treason and, monarchical ten
dencies, to all appearances. But T had
we perished ! What then?
Who shall say that the trial of the na
tions which have perished in like con
flicts was not greater than ours has yet
been? Is it not Probable that their trial
was greater than ours has been?
Look at Europe. She is engaged in
the conflict for equilibrium. Prussia
against Austria, the result might be
doubtful; but Prussia, 'ltaly, France,
Great Britain, and Prussia combined
, against Austria, the result must bd po
litical death to Austria. Thus the trial
of that empire would prove greater than
it could endure.
Let us not deceive ourselves. The
hour of this nation's trial is not past.—
We are as an army which has taken the
enemy's key position by assault. We
have won the vantage ground by almost
superhuman effort.
Shall we resolve to keep what we have
won 5'
That is the question. That is the
question in its length, breadth, and en
tirety. It is the question upon which
the Republican party joins issue with
Andrew Johnson.
We but speak the plain, unvarnished
truth, when we say that never,-at any
hour during the rebellion, has the na
tion been in such peril as it is in this
day. jWar is not always clad in its
robes of scarlet and gray. All conflict
is war: - We are in the midst of a voice
less war, yet it speaks louder to the re
flective man than cannon, or the tramp
of armed hosts.
Standing firm, as we stood for four
`years of open war, this peril will pass
away without injury to Universal Lib
erty. So long as"the front ranks stand
firm and determined, the straggling of
the cowards who crowd the rear'ranks
in this, as in other battles, cannot effect
the destruction of the nation. Let them
fall out if they desire that; nay, let
them desert to the enemy if they choose
that ; as they leave we shall feel amys
terious renewal of vigor, just as a tree
takes on more rapid growth by lopping
off its dead limbs.
We still believe, as we believed du
ring the long night of war, that the
gates of Hell shall not prevail against
this nation. We still hold that the tri
°,
umphs of evil are brief and delusory,
: and the promise of eternal reward is to
those who remain faithful to the eud.
. We have only Ito reineinher that the
vacillating and niereenary , jail away
- from all progressi'Ve knoveMents. So,
,also, with senility, wearied out with
long striving. These are the paupers of
politics. They must be provided for as
'the paupers of townships and boroughs
are provided for. They do not strength -4
en a party any . more than paupers.
strengthen a community.
' The work of securing the ;fruits of
victory is for the vigilant and the brave.
The attempt to squander those: fruits
may be left to traitors, renegades and
mercenaries. -,
Everybody remembers the nice boy
who cried because he could not eat' his
cake and keep it.,
He is brought vividly to mind by the
howls of the Coppery press about the
State battle-flag reception in Vhiladelr
phis, July 4. It appears that: General
Geary, having fonght through The war
with honor and fame, waa commanding
a division on that occasion ; Worse than
this, he was the recipient of a , splendid
ovation from the crowd as he passed
along the streets: "Hence, these tears."
• " Why was Mr. Clymer left out of the
programme?" ask the Clymerites.
Because Mr. Clymer left the war and
the soldiers out, of his programme
that's J why. Because Mr. Clymer op
posed, with his t‘ might and Main," the
organization of these grand regiments
of battle-stained heroes. Because Mr.
Clymer chose to, stand opposed to the
soldiers in every way during the war,
choosing to eat his cake at home, revil
ing the war the ;dine he munched.
Doubtless Mr. Clymer sees his mistake
now. We know of several more who
smiled only when our arms were beaten
down by rebels, who see the& mistake.
To these people we took occasion to
say during the war:
• " You will regret your present actions.
When victory :erostrns • our arms, you
will fling your hats on high, hoping to
he forgotten amid the vineral joy. But
you will be mistaken."
And so it has proved.
The greatness of Copperhead leaders
can he seen in their effort to Justify Jeff.
Davis's treatment of Union prisoners
of war. A New Haven paper of that
bad breed says that if Davis was respon
sible for the ill-treatment of Union pris
oners, Mr, Lincoln was responsible for
the ill-treatment of rebel prisoners. It
then proceeds to say that in January,
1864, three rebel prisoners at Camp Doug
lass, Chicago, were frozen to death, and
a number more were crippled for life.
The account stands, then:'
Rebels frozen to death,
Union boys starved, 23,72

There are several boys at the Medic:l
Training School for Feeble-Minded chil
dren who can beat that editor.
The President sent in his veto of the
Freedmen's Bureau bill No. two, to the
House, on the 113th inst. The House at
once put the question—" Shall the bill
pass, notwithitanding
. the President's
objections?" and the bill passed, by a
vote of 104 to 0. The Senate passed it
by a vote of 38 to 12. And all -this was
done within one hour after the veto
reached the capitol.
That will do. Congress' has a large
quality of backbone. Three times three
for Congress. ,
One Mr. Theodore Wright addressed
the " Democratic" club at Lock Haven
on the 4th of July. The "Democrat"
publishes the,speech.
He said that until Wendell Phillips
should bring up a mulatto family, he
ought not to preach popular equality.
Mr. Wright may not know that Wen
dell Phillips is married to a white wo
man. And while she li'ves, it is not
probable that Wendell Phillips will re
marry. We understand the rule among
Copperheadst to be quite the reverse—
that is, in some localities. Perhaps the
speaker was thinking of that.
We see th4t a negro hail applied to the
United State's Court at Louisville for a
copyright ofia book of poems, entitled
"To Colum f bians," and dedicated to
Lincoln, Grint, and Butler.
Now mark how the tenth-rate rhyme
stem of the south will howl.
But neither Bryant, , , Longfellow, Low
ell, Holmes, nor Whittier, the poets of
America, will take alarm.
A Clymer paper declares that Mr.
Clymer will_ receive the full vote given
to Woodward in 1863, and that he will
be triumphantly elected.
Considering that Curtin had a major
ity of 16,326 over Woodward, weshoulsl
say that Mr, Clyiner's chance of elec
tion was rather slim.
The Connlecticutand New Hampshire
Legiilatur4 have ratified the Constitu
tional amerOment. The Johnson men
in the Tennessee Legislature have sece
ded so thae there is no quorum. Other
wise the aniendment would he ratified
there at one:)
Ah, we remember; it was not long
ago that the rebel members of the Ten
nessee Legislature seceded in order to
defeat a measure recommended by Mr.
Johnson. Mr. Johnsim ordered a new
election. Will Mr. Johnson order a
new qiectioria to remedy this new seces
sion ? Probably not. •
The Tri4une, and other papers, are
making a great fuss abonti 14r. Seward's
baptism into the church of St. Tam
many.
There is nothing singular about it.—
Mr. Seward has been a confirmed sot
for eight wears. Like attracts like.—
Men gravitate to their places like the
planets. So there is nothing strange
about Mr Seward's formal coalition
with Tamtnany Hall.
The Republican Conventions of Ohio,
Vermont, and Maine, omitted all refer

TAM WAR IN XIIROPR
Late dviees bring,tidings t
:of . great
battle etween; the Prussian and Aus
trian armies, in Bohemia. The battle
lasted twelvehours, when the Prussians
succeeded in flanking the Austrians and
routed them utterly: The Austrian
killed and wounded are reported at 20,-
000, and as many more captured. The
Prussian loss was also-heavy.
On receipt of news of this battle,
Louie Napoleon pthposed an armistice,
which, according to latest uews,, has
been effected. -It is said that Austria
has ceded Venetia to Napoleon, who.
will hand it over to Victor Emanuel,
King of Italy. It is generally believed
that this ends the war in Europe.
RAYMOND, of the New York Times,
has repudiated the coalition between
the rebels and the President, said coali
tion being about to receive color and
form at the Convention to be held at
Philadelphia, August 14.
Probably the boy will have to be re
ceived back into the . Republican fold;
but take courage ! it will be , oily for a
little while. He is ao slippery;
We have received the first number of
the Johnson organ published in Will
iamsport, by whom does not yet appear.
The editor is D. S. Dunham, of whom
we seem to have heard in past times as
the editor of a Lock Haven paper. Mr.
Dunham, in his opening article, propo
ses to fight ultraism wherever he finds
it, and to " fight the fight" within the
Republican lines. We beg to assure
Mr. Dunham that this is more of a
shower than he supposes; and that if
he expects to dodge between the down
pouring drops and keep dry; bewill not
realize his expectations.
The new - papers of this color, ever'-
where, claim to be the " real, genuine,
original Jacobs." However, the paper
before us starts off with a speech by
Senator Cowan. The editor ras, prob
ably, been asleep since 1861, and does
not know that Mr. Cowan has not acted
with the Republican party for about
four years. He (the editor) alto objects
to Mr. Theodore_Vtrright as a candidate
for Congress, and proposes to substitute
Mr. James Gamble. Mr. Gamble is
something of a conservative of—Mr.
Gamble's interests, we believe, and in
what other respects he may to conserv
ative we know not.
HENRY J. RAYMOND, 'editor of the
New York Times, and member of Con
gress, fears that Congress may invoke
an insurrection of the people to sustain
its policy. Mr. H. J. Raymond, do you
not know that the people already 'sus
tain Congress, in their quiet, orderly
way ? Don't you know, further, that,
if you and your base fellows undertake
to force " my policy" upon the country,
you will be polished off in short order?
Don't you know that the masses will
never undertake another civil war until
there shall be a clear field in the rear?
They used to call you "the little vil
lain ;" you write yourself down an ass.
C. L. Vallandigham, Jesse D. Bright,
and Charles J. Faulkner, are visiting
President Johnson, with a view to the
appointment of John B. Weller, of Cal
ifornia, Secretary of War in place of
Stanton.
Think a moment: Vallandigham was
an open traitor during the war. Jesse
D. Bright was expelled from the United
States Senate on a charge.of abetting
treason ; and Charles J.' Faulkner was
at one time an emissary of Jeff Davis
in Europe.
Suppose Mr. Johnson takes the advice
of these men—can we hope to escape
another terrible calamity?
The Williamsport Bulletin, alluding
to the United States Senatorial ques
tion, recommends Hon. Wm. H. Arm
strong, of Williamsport, for that posi
tion. Mr. Armstrong is a man of deci
ded, ability and culture, and would con
trast agreeably with Cowan:
We have heard of nothing so appro. ,
priate and pat as the announcement
that Dan Rice will be the Copperhead
candidate for Congress in the 19th dis
trict. He is the best clown in the ring,
and would faithfully represent his party
if elected. Any other snake in his side
shows would do It as well.

It is only the conclusion of Lee's plea

his intention to visit Philadelphia.

Loss by Portland The ;lily 4th,
The total amount covered 0y Atria policies on
property destroyed or damaged, is $206,854, on
which salvage will be about five per cent. Our
total loss will not vary much from $200,000, and
is being promptly adjusted and paid. This sum
is live per cent. upon the assets, a figure but slight
ly exceeding our government and State taxes paid
last year, or a proportion equal to a $5,000 loss
for a company of $lOO,OOO assets.
The necessity for insurance and the value of
wealthy, strong corporations, is forcibly illustra
ted by this fire. Several weak insurance compa
nies are destroyed. Portland has a population of
85,000 ;•was handsomely built, mostly fine brick
or stone structures—protected and screened with
upwards of 8,000 shade trees—bounded on three
sides by water—indeed; literally, almost rising
from the ocean—and with a good steam fire de
partment ;—yet it has $10,000,000 of property
consumed in a few hours, upon a holiday, when
its people are least ocoupiod—from the very insig.
tificant cause of a contemptible fire cracker.
Remember the trifling origin of firsts that sweep
away in a few hours the earnings of years. Con
sider your best interests and giro the Atna agent
a call, if you need proper insurance security.—

ANEW AND BEAUTIVIIL WORK—The
pictorial book of anecdotes and incidents
of the rebellion: Heroic, patriotic, romantic;
humorous and tragical. Splendidly illustrated
with over 300 fine portraits and beautiful engrav
ings.
This work, for genial humor, tender pathos;
startling interest, and attractive beauty, stands
peerless and alone among all its competitors. The
valiant and brave hearted, the pioturesque and
dramatic, the witty and marvelous, the tender
and pathetic; the roll of fame and story, camp s
picket, spy, scout, bivouac and siege; startling.
surprises, wonderful escapes, famous words and
deeds of woman, and the whole panorama of the
war, are here thrillingly portrayed in a masterly
manner, at once historical and romantic, redden
ing it the most ample, brilliant and readable book
that the war has called forth.
This work sells itself. The people are tired of
dry details and partisan works, and want some
thing humorous, romantic and startling. We
„have agents clearing over $2OO per month. Send
for circulars, and see our terms and proof of the
above assertion. Address
