JOHN POLLOCK. "REFORM!" Many of our readers will besuprised that after the reforms made by the American Board of Directors, at the Poor House, in reducing the high salaries of the officers of that Institution, and which had been in creased by Locofoeoism, from about what they have now been reduced to, for the pur pose of rewarding political favorites, and also abolishing the office of Attorney, which was about as necessary as tke fifth wheel to a wagOD, and sating over three hundred dollars to the tax payers, the Bed ford Gazette comes out against the Reform, and advocates an increase of the salaries even above what they have lately been un der Locofoco rule. Mr. Bowman says that the Poor Honso Physician's salary should have been increased from §IOO to §2OO, instead of being decreased to S6O! And as a matter of course, be advocates the in crease of the salaries of all the other officers of that Institution, to double what they have all along been. So tbat whilst the Auierioon party has reduced the salaries, which were already too high, -saving over SBOO to the people, the Looufocoa advocate their increase that much, which is a differ ence in favor of the people of over S6OO in this one matter ! How do you like the dif ference, tax payer 1 Had Locofoeoism tri umphed at the last electiou in this county, according to tho Gazette , the salaries of the Poor House officers would have been in creased over S6OO, but the Americans oar ried the day, and they commenced the Re form,by reducing them mere than s3oo' A difference of S6OO at one sweep between the two parties in that institution is no small matter' We hope the people of the county will; open thcii eyes to this matter, and ee which part} is truly the party of Reform, ' and vote hereafter accordingly.

A recent psstoral letter thus begs and promises: "On Sunday uoxt,or op any day more impropriate for that purpose, each pastor f hail reriove donations, either by a collec tion in the church or hy visitation, as may be considered most proper. And according 'o the power invested in u% wc grant abso lution for forty days to any one who, from tor the holy Catholic unity, and for tbc em baliishtncnt of the house o?

A" German paper, published in New York city, ealied the Stoat* Ztitung, contains the following, af Laving been recently adopted bv the Government of Wcteaiberg, in Germany Whereas, It has repeatedly occurred that German emigrants to Amerioa , and among tUuu natives of Wurlemberg, who desired to return homo oa account of sickness or incapacity to labor, have been forwarded to this country hy the German Emigration Society ol Sew Y'ork; and Whereas, It is deeirablo that those who have oner emigrated to America, and espe cially those who have been transported thither,at the oipense of the State, or the communes, and are unablo—whotherornot it be from any fault of their own—to earn their subsistence, should not return here to be a burden to the State of the communes (which in that case will have defrayed the expenses of their journey in vain) and Whereas, The American anthopities are scarcely authorized to send back those who having once been admitted to the country, cannot earn their subsistence in America; and Whereas, It is much less the business of the German Emigration Society of New York to promote the return of such individ uals; therefore Resolved, That necessary steps are to be taken to prevent their transportation back to this couotrv. The Staats Zietung treats the matter very gravely, so that it caunot be a joke, as the reader might at first suppose. It appears that in consequence of the general outcry on this side of the oeeau agaiust the deluge of foreign paupers poured into our country, the New York Commissioners of Emigration have dene, what it was clearly their duty to have always done, but what they have shrunk front attempting —they have sent back to Europe many foreign immigrants who have arrived at New York helpless from sickness or other infirmity. An item in the Tribune which we lately copied, infornted the public that the authorities of Great Britain bad Jetermined to take steps to prevent the re turn of foreign pauper eiumigrants to that country after they had been sent to the Uni ted States. The action of the authorities of Wurteraberg is of the same kind, and it is therefore clear that this matter is rapidly approaching an important crisis. As these paupers, when not sent back to Europe, are distributed by the New York authorities very freely over the Northern States to be supported, this is a question of great interest to us all. From Kansas. Outragious Conduct oj the Alissourians The St. Louis Democrat, of Doc. 12th, i has a letter dated Leavenworth, Doe. 1. 6 j P. M., which says; "The militia organized to day' "At ten, o'clock it was discovered that ! Mr. G. McCree had escaped from prison by | cutting the door around the lock. "At an early hour in the morning intcl- j ligenoe was received that two thousand arm ed men had rendezvoused at Kickapoo.— Six pieces of cannon, it was reported, had been seen in that city. This rumor has received repeated confirmations to day. "By the different accounts deceived at this : point, up to the present moment, it is esti- j mated that there ara froic three to four I thousand ttrLiad tnon. regularly, orp-mi-xod ; into companies, and chiefly from Platte, j Buchanan, Clay and Jackson counties, Missouri, in the Territory to day."

JMeetings of the Corporators—Selection of a location—Plan of proceedure —The books open—Subscription of stock— Election of Officers —General meeting, ci'c., <S"c. MR. EDITOR .—lt will be gratifying to many of your readers to know that the cemetery enterprise is still in esse— a live project—that the ball tV in motion, and will be pushed forward as rapidly as the state of the route admits! Two meetings of the Corporators have been held, at the first of which aco nominee of five was ap pointed, with instructions to view, exam iue and report upon the respective merits apd advantages of different locations, and whether, and at what price they could be had. Their report, in part, was made to the second meeting, held on the evening of the Bth iust., and the committee continued until the next meeting, with further in structions, at which time they will make a final report, and the location be perma nently decided upon. At the same meet ing a committee of five was appointed to j solicit the subscription of stock, and the j plan of operation is just this. In the first place, ten. twelve or more acres of suitable ground will be necessary, and this, of course must be purchased at the lowest price, and j upon the bc<t terms possible. This land i must be paid for. It must be suitably and j handsomely enclosed. It must, under the direction of a rural architect, be properly and attractively laid off and divided into lots, a carriage way and walks, Ac. 1 lie land tuay cost SIOOO or §I2OO. I lie fence, and services of an architect, may be at a cast of §3OO or S4OO. Then also will be the expense of a house or dwelling for the sexton, who is to have charge of the ' grounds, Sic. i And to nfeet this outlay, and ascertain j whether the corporators would be justified : in incurriug said liabilities, it is proposed | in the first place to eoe what amount ol | stock can be subscribed. The price of each 1 share of stock will be SIO.OO, and will en title the subscriber ro a lot iu the BEDFORD j CEMETERY. The payment of this stock will be in easy payments, so that every one i can and will be expected to take at least I one share. The day laborer, and the hon i est. toiling mechanic, whose bread is earned i by the sweat of their brows, can, and will 1 be glad to pay for a burial place lor them ! Mrdtcs noJ f.uuiUer t!® email (um of $lO. j Bscs use, if in life, lie has laid by nothing more, he will have the satisfaction of know, ing that he, at least, has earned a burial place. That lie, and the loved ones of his j fire-side may repose ultimately in their own I soil, land which was by pood and sufficient I deed conveyed and guaranteed to them.— ' anl it is a pleasant reflection also, that | when, in after year", relatives and friends ! may have sunk into the tomb, when there j should be left no kindred haDd to plant the willow or strew the flowers of affection I your graves, within the cemetery walls, will suffer no neglect. There will be no rank ling grass, the nest of slimy serpents and of toads, left rotting over you, ar.d the grunt of hogs will not disturb your sweet repose' The. good old sexton, with his re j forming spade, and shrubs and flowers and i pruning hook will be there. His Register will show the rauge and number of every i grave, so that, whether marked by the j sculptured marble or not, no grave can be lost, (which, unfortunately, is the ease in ! almost every oue of the town graveyards I now.) But we. are getting from the point 1 about which we intended more particularly | speaking. Not only the mechanic and man ! of family will be expected to take a lot, at j the low price mentioned. But the young ! man, who has at present no family to pro | vide for, will find it a good investment of Iso small a sum. It will be good stock, and ; may be sold to advantage, if never needed for himself. Then, also, there are those i who arc not mechanics or single men, witb -1 out property and with limited means, but ! merchants, lawyers, doctors, farmers, men ; of families and men of capital, gentlemen, : Ac., Ac., who will be expected, and will 1 take several shares. The enterprise de ' serves the greatest encouragement. It. is an improvement which ail may encourage. There is nothing of party feeling or sccta ' nanism about it. It points to the common j platform upon which we must one day all j appear. No stock will be required to be paid in before the Ist April, 1856, and then where more than one share is subscribed, in easy instalments. And we may notice further in explanation of this manner of subscrip tion by stock, Ac., that it is this way. So soon as a share of stock is paid in, a print ed certificate, signed by the' President, Sec retary and Treasurer of the association will be given, and upon presentation of the same, as soon as the lots have been laid off by a Rural Architect, and are ready to be conveyed by proper metes and bounds, the holder of a certificate will be entitled to a credit for the amount paid, as per certifi cate, upon any lot or lots he buys, whether that be at public or private sale. And this plan, whilst it cannot fail to be entirely satisfactory to all, will at the same time determine whether the corporators will be authorized to go on. When once completed, many persons, we BEDFORD INQUIRER AND CHRONICLE. hear, say that they will reraovo their rela tives and friends to the Cemetery, where their graves will be properly cared for.— This is being done all over the country, where in other villages and towns they are establishing cemeteries, and will be the case here. A law, also, it is said will be passed by and bye to prevent further interments in town. Tho Reformed and Lutheran Con gregations will have shortly to purchase new grounds The Presbyterian yard is filling up, and like the Methodist and Cath olic yards, has not much more space left. All must, in the course of a few years, be enlarged at considerable expense, if no oth er arrangement is maue. All are in an un protccted or neglected condition, and something should bo done. On Saturday night before Christmas, there will be a public meeting, and it is hoped that all interested will attend. In the meantime, tie generosity and public spirit of our citizens will be tested by the committee whose duty it is to solicit stock and report at the time referred to. Time and space forbid our saying more in this connection. The time has come for action, and we hope all will lerui a help'ng hand. <• Life is short, arid time is fleeting, .dnd oca hearts, though stout and brave, Still, like muffled drums, are beating, Funeral marches to the CRAVE!" Remember, you who would refuse a tri fling contribution for a good work like this, who would have the oouuuittee on subscrip tions turn away unassisted and unheard— remember, that your eye may soon lose its lustre, your heart soon cease to beat! The next funeral train that winds slowly and solemnly to the place of sepulture, may bo possibly following to the grave that body of which you are now so careful and so proud ! Would you have it interred with decency, and laid to sleep where it would be suitably guarded, where the flowers planted by the hand of affection might not be destroyed, nor the last trace of your grave be ulti mately forgotten ? then don't say that you can't spare $lO for a CEMETERY now! From Ihe .V. Y. Tribune THE SENATE IN 1855. WASHINGTON - , Friday, Dec. 6,1855 'We all do faue as a leaf." That is the ultimate mundane result, prior and prefatory to which, we are unmistakably growing old. I realize it nowhere more forcibly than on returning, after a prolonged absence, to the Senate chamber of the United States.— The first thought here is inevitably of the great departed—of Clay and Webster, Calhoun and Forsyth, Silas Wright arid Peindexter, whom with younger eyes and a fresher heart, a more hopeful spirit, I saw sitting here on my first visit, nearly twenty years ago. They have passed away from earth with John Davis and Roger Hunting don, J T. Morchead, Phelps, Prentiss, and many others who have since filled tqeir scats ; while Corwin and Ewing of Ohio, Tyler and Rives of Virginia, Benton of Missouri, Manguuv and Badger of North Carolina, though still living, have goDe into retire ment, and no longer challenge the publ io regard with a calmer interest, a more languid pulse, I know that the Senate of 1835, tested by the most unswerving standards was abler than that of 1855. Perhaps this Senate is composed of young er men than that of twenty years ago, but I doubt it. For here sits Gen. Cass, a ve_ teran wbo has already passed the seventy years alloted to man, locking heavier and duller than when 1 first saw hiru, but still unwi inklcd and healthy, a striking example of the conservative dower of rigid temper ance even though confronted by the dis tractions acd anxieties of political life.— Here is Mr. Crittenden returned again, after many vicissitudes, looking visibly* oldcr ? and with a scenting scar on the right side of his face which rnars his phosiognomy, but who s*enis as alert, as sanguine, as ready for a parliamentary tilt, as in his vivacious prime. A.s to John M. Clayton—who lam confident, was sitting here twenty years ago I know not bow much longer—he looks better, heartier, brisker, and positively youDger to-day than he did when be left the Senate in 1849 to Gen. Tajlcr's Secretary of State. His circumference is still gen erous, but he looks as if there were many years of life and work in him. I trust there may be. John P. Hale's rosy faee lights up the Senate once more, and his humorous com ments on whatever is going forward serve greatly to relieve the solemn dullness which habitually broods over this haunt of Fogy ;sin. Hale used to threaten to resign when here before, but he seems now quite re signed to the despesation which sent hiru back again. I think his resignation to this will prevent resignation out ol it. His new colleague, James Bell, is a pale, slim, elder ly lawyer, who will command the respect of tie Senate by probity and industry without wasting much pf its time in brilliantly use less speaches.' I had not thought, a few years since, ever to see Pitt FtssendeD hero as a Sena tor from Maine, but the change from the line of Shepleys, Fairfields and Bradburys whom he succeeds, is very welcome. Nor have I yet quite 'got the haDg' of seeing Henry Wilson, 'the Natick Cobbler,' in the seat of Daniel Webster. As my eyes rests on his ronnd, full, earnest face, I am temp ted to beckon him out and quietly inform him that the Senate is very particular in excluding outsiders from its scats: and then it flashes over me that be is there the accre. dited representative of Stato street, Har vard Univerity, and the Daily Advertiser: so I held my breath and inly wonder what w ill turn up next. And practically, Mass. achusetts has not often had a more faithful or useful Senator than Henry Wilson. Mr. Sumner has been longer here, and wears his Sentorial honors as a mater of course— Shall we not soon see Pennsylvania and ! New Jersey likewise represented in the in" ! tercst of Universal Freedom. You will have heard bow the majority Of the Sanate have resolved nor to recognize the republicans as belonging to a national party, or entitled to consideration in the making up of Committees. So Messrs. Seward, Sumner, Hale, Wade, Fessenden, and others, will figure at the latter end of the Committees on revolutionary Pensions, Enrolled Bills, Ac., while the lead in the Committees on Finance, Foreign affairs, th e Judiciary, Ac., will be assigned to states men of the grasp of mind and fullness of in formation of Billy Wright,J. W. Jones, and Wheeler. I state this not byway of com plaint, but of illustration- Dogberry long ago enunciated the strong truth "that when two ride a horse, one must ride behind," and I cheerfully accept the dispensation. But how is the majority to navigate, in view of the reported fact that Messrs. Fish, Pratt Jones, Benjamin, and perhaps one or two other old Hue whigs, have thrown down the weapons of their rebel lion, and applied for admission, if not fully into the Demoerat- I ic camp, at least into some limb of neutral ity, where they may be made welcome to a share of the good things dispensed from the majority table? These being stricken off on the one side, and the Republicans on the other, there will remain for a regular "Na tional" opposition only Mr. Crittenden aforesaid and his colleague, with John Bell of Tennessee—who first came into Con gress some thirty yaars ago and who bo gins to show on his dark, broad anxious visage the furrows of ago and care—and James A. Pearce of Maryland, the scholar and gentlemen for excellence, who never discredited his place in the Senate by an angry, rude or impertinent observation, and wbose sunny countenance bespeaks calm goodwill and peace wish all mankind. Rather a select "National"'party this must be; but you might belong to one far more numerous yet a good deal less respecti ve H. G. One Week Later from Europe. Rumors of Russia In Favor or F*ace. NEW k ORK, Dec. 13.—The steamer Baltic, with advices from Liverpool to the ! Ist inst. is below. I llcr commercial advioes quote Cotton de. | clined iai, the market closing firm. The I sales of the week amount to 49,000 bales. Flour has declined Cd. and Wheat la2d. Rumers prevailed that Russia proposes to make negotiations for peace. There is no war news. The only features of importance in the news of the week is a variety of rumors all stating that there is at lea> t a prospect of peace.—One rumor says that Russia had formerly requested Prussia to make conciliatory offers to the Western Powers, and Prussia is reported to have accepted the mission, to which Austria assents. But the most definite form of the rumor i 9 that propositions have been sub mitted to Napoleon on behalf of Russia which can be honorably accepted, uauielv : that Russia will conclude peace with the Western Powers without the intervention of cither Austria or Prussia, Russia acce ding to the guaranteed independence of the Dawubian Principalities, the freedom of the Black Sea—both parties to continue their preparations for war, but no active hostili ties to be entered upon up to an agreed date. All this is possibly premature, but hopes arc strong that pe'ace maw arise. The excitement in England respectiug the difficulty with the United States had almost passed away. The Danish Conference on the Sound Dues question mefn the 20th ult. and took no action. The KiDg of Prussia, in his speech to the Chambers announces decidedly the continued neutrality of Prussia. Some unimportant changes have occnred in the English (fcbiuet. The King of Sardinia arrived at l/ondon on l riday, where he met wttb an enthusias tic reception.

'J'he winter season is rapidly approach ing, and the people are beginning to look around for their sehool-teacLera, than the selection of which there can be nothing of greater importance; yet in many localities this important responsibility is unfelt and unappreciated. When we reflect that the most tender interests of the child for this world and for eternity, are to be intrusted to the teacher, that he is to train up the fee blest and most helpless of ail creatures into a godlike sovereign of animated creation; and that one misstep may forever roin and blast the immortal soul, it is truly astonish ing that so great indifference exists in com munity in regard to this subject. I have often thought, if angels ever leave their bright homes in heaven, and hover unseen around the abodes of men, if ever they feel an anxious solicitude for the future destiny and welfare of man, it must be when the teacher enters the school-room to discharge his high and holy duties. There he exerts an influence in the formation of character which extends, not through time only, but through eternity. The minds with which he comes in contact are tender and impress ible, and he can mold them at his will, eith er for the glories of heaven or the darknv.s of perdition. Parent 9 who are fully conscious of thet r responsibility iu properly educating and training up their children, must feel a deep and lively interest iu securing the labors of devoted and well qualified teachers. They can not throw off this responsibility without a fearful foreboding of the future. Too many ot our teachers enter the school-room without that enlightened conscience and no ble purpose; which are ever demanded.— They can easily engage in the holy and sa cred duties of the office, without prepara tion but it is not so catv to undo the mis chief which a mistake may produce in the development of the mind, at that tender age ia which mistakes are most fatal. Ignor ance will uot excuse the teacher, for he has assumed to fill a place where ignorance it self is a crime; and the responsibility is still on him! "Just as true as it is a great thing to guide the mind aright, just as true as it is a deplorable, nay, fatal thing, to lead it estrav, so true is it that he who at tempts the work, whether ignorant or skill ful, whether tboghtless or serious incurs all the responsibility of success or failure; a responsibility he can never shake off. as long as the human soul is immortal, and men are accountable for such consequences of their acts as are capable of being fore seen." Yet many give not only no atten tion to any preparati on, but retort to the business from sordid and selfish motives, and frequently from a conscious unfitness for any thing else. It is not so in oth er professions, and should sot be so in this. Let the teacher, then, be impressed with the overwhelming importance of his posi tion: let him go to his work with a thor' ough appreciation of its responsibilities: let bitu devote every power of bis soul to a thorough preparation for its duties, and above all, let him go to it with motives which are pure and holy before God. x'arents, would you bave moral,religious, intelligent, thoroughly-qualified, kind, and affectionate teachers, to train up your i cbildron, you must use discretion in making a selection. And when you have selected your teacher, do not place him in your school-house with your children, to work all alone, but visit hitu, in school and out ! of school; talk with him in reference to the progress of your children, and of his vari ous plans for promoting their moral and intelligent growth: encourage him by your smiles, your visits, and your counsel, as well as by your dimes Let him know that you feel an interest in the prosperity of the school, and he will labor with renewed en thusiasm. When you employ one to feed your pigs or calves, you arc sure to visit them, and inquire after their welfare, and why not fed an equal interest in the wel fare of the immortal souls of your own off spring? Parents should awake to the res ponsibility which rests upon tbcni. The question should not be, what is the lowest price for which wc can get a teacher? but, where C3n wc get one who is thoroughly qualified, intellectually, morally, and phys ically; one who feels the responsibility of his office, and who understands the capa bilities of the human soul? God grant that the community may be aroused to a sense of their duty! T. B. R. December, 1855 .—Christian JdvoCatc.
