DRKW- Associate Editob Daniel S. Dickinsoc, of New York, for many long years, was tbe Southern ideal of a conservative Northern statesman. However he strayed on other subjects, he was al ways sound on the nigger question. Bis patriotism was never questioned, and bis pbillippics against the Abolitionists and Republicans were quoted by Southern papers, of All shades of political opinion, as the utterances of a genuine friend of the South. Whfa the free-soil fever first attacked the Democracy of New York, and many yielded to its softening influences to such an extent as to taerit and obtain the sobriquet of " Softs,"" Dickinson remained the hardest of tbe "Hards." His party became hopelessly in the o.iaotity, but sc.il 1 he would not yield to whut be conceived ss fanaticism, and fought on, and spoke on, in defense of his Southern friends and institutions. The Louisville Journal aJnured the 'conservatism" oi the old man, however it iffered with him in other particulars. But' "Scripture Dick" has in'reti from grace. The bombardment of Port Sumter rudely snapped the sympathetic chord which bound him to the South, and henceforth the Strength of his genii: 3 find eloquence waa added to the giant ifort of the Northern States to put down the rebellion. Believing that the insurrection can only be suppressed by the sword, he id in lavo; of, wagiug war, and resorting to every instrumentality likely to weaken the h:tud3 of the disloyal and strengthen tha loyai. It slavary stnnds in the way of success, he unhesitatingly proclaims for etmneipaii)!!. Cut ; this ruin3 his "conservatism. Mo mar can be "coniiorvative'' who dor-mt "believe in the divinity of slavery ruid the universal uiggerThe Louisvilie Jous is disgusted. It is now of the opinion that " men can't be trusted who hold their opinions with violence.' The Journal bold3 an opinion on the slavery question about as violently as can be imagined ; and honcK, profiting by its own teachings, we would say to the readers of that paper: Put not your trust in the Journal ! While claiming that the Government has. tbe right to coufiscate rebel property, it insists that slaves of rebels must cot be touched. While thousands of loyal men are sacrificing tueir time, health and means, to restore the Union to its former dignity, the most valuable and iroporiatrt of tbe rebel property must ;:ot be interfered with. No body is conservative who talks of inter" ferring with it, and such a iscommendation on the part of any military or civii officer is Sufficient ennsf for removal. For our par", we ftre heartily sick of such twaddle. If the institution of slavery is to be set above the liberties of tho country, under Hu eircamsta-ices and everywhere, the Government is waging a hopeless contest. We kire willing to let the " institution" take its chance with other property, Confiscate mil rebel property. Whether the Govern meat is able to use said property is a secondary matter. The first consideration it, that the rebels themselves are not permitted to use it in the advancement of their hellish schemes againsl the Union. Another Pksxsylvakia Coxtbact.

The Madison Courier has hitched

teams with the Indianapolis Sentinel in abusing Governor Morton. NothiDg that official does, affords them satisfaction, or men'-" their approval, and they quote each other's abuse of him with all the gusto of a mutual admiration society. Every word spoken abroad in praise of the Governor, affects each of them as squirmingly as a live coal on the back of a tewapin. These new " ly fledged friends afford additional evidence of tbe truth of the adage, that " extreme3 sometimes meet." Hitherto they have been at antipodes. One wallowing in the very mire of slavery propagandists, and tba other attempting the mobt lofty flights o1 abolition lanaticism. Nothing has been sufficiently conservative for tho Sentinel nothing sufficiently ultra for the Courier. Common hatred of Gov. Morton aloue unites the conflicting elements. We have our doubts as to the judiciousness of some of Governor Mortou'aarguments. We doubt the propriety of post, poning the payment of our share of the government tax to another season. We are as well prepared for that burden now, as ever, and perhaps much better than we will be at auotber time. If, as asserted, the policy of the Governor has resulted in a great depreciation of State bonds it was a. mistake. But If the arrangement has been made we do not well see how a special session of tbe Legislature can unmake it. It might assemble, use up a good deal of the Stat funds, and possibly pass a resolution censuring the Governor for usurpiig powers belonging to the General Assembly, as charged by the Sentinel and Courier. Possibly that would be sufficient to quiet those papers, but little would it benefit the people. We have ottcn heard of tbe cost of extra sessions being a mers bagatelle. Experience, however, has demonstrated that onr people pay well for the manufacture of their State law3As for the other hobby of the Courier tha1

growing out of tbe same, we should think sensible men would be satisfied with that experiment. Besides, if the right of suffrage is so essential to the men, how can they vote intelligibly without hearing from the various candidates aspiring for their suf frages. A military camp turned into a fa- j ruiu for politicians, would certainly be an j interesting uectacle and have a surprising ! effect ii i ig discipline. (j We d,. n i appn-bend that our volunteers will be deprived of the privilege of voting. We expect them to whip the rebels before the Fall election, and return home to enjoy the right tor which they have taken up arms. If the rebellion is not crushed by that time, the right of suffrage will hardly be worth exercising. The Teacher' Association. The Teachers' Association, which was held in this city last week, closed its session on Saturday morning. It is tobe regretted that less than one-third of the teachers in the county were present, although the time and place of meeting had been publicly and piivately announced to all. In addition to this, the Township Trustees consented to suspend the schools during tbe week, that all the teachers might have an opportunity to attend. We are accustomed to complain of indifference an tbe part of tbe public to the interests of our public schools, but it is ! lacaeatabla to think that thatfeeling s'uoa. . be shared by any considerable portion of our teachers. No one has failed to observe that tbe free schools throughout the State are far below tha standard to which they should long sinc have attained. This is the fault of the teachers, rather than of the plibTic or State. The Sta-e has made liberal provisions for the support of schools, and the public are interested in seeing their funds well applied ; but so long as the teachers are unqualified for their duties, the money will continue to be misappbsd, and in many cases worse than wasted. The first thing needed is competent teachers, and this tbe public have a right to demand. But to secure this, the teachers should seize upon the most favorable opportunities to improve themselves. No one would employ a mechanic who knew nothing about his business, and cared iv - w u to wages. tv xs wouiu ex pect him to understand his trade, and be able to apply his knowledge. So the teacher should not only possess the necessary amount of education, but be able to apply it in the most proper manner. There sureiy is no employment which requires a more j thorough training than that of teaching, j and none more sadly neglected. It is time that the people should understand this mat ter, and demand that none who will neglec or refuse to qualify themselves, shall be placed over the care of our children. In the absence of Normal Schools, no means of preparing teachers for their profession have been found more efficacious than Teachers' Institutes. There tho different branches of education are taken up and thoroughly discussed, and the best method of instruction and government sug-g-fjtfcd. Education has not kept pace with progress in other things, and it is time for the teachers to feel that unless tbey are properly qualified, and alive to all the improvements in tdeir profession, their labors v.il soon be neither demanded nor needed. - rr-.r, :t . -:. 3 ,..; i lii Overcoats, basinesa and dress suits udJ tine famishing goods, can be bought at Lyons' for a mere nominal advance on cost. His stock of goods, for civilians' wear, is still large, and comprises stylish and fashionable goods adapted to the season. Prices to fit the complexion of tbe times.

Taking the Back Track. We have been considerably amused at the readiness witb which the papers throughout the Union, have endorsed Mr. Seward's letter to Lord Lyons. Prior to its publication, scarcely one of them was heard to question the lawfulness of Capt. Wilkes' seizure, and its si not accordance witb tbe previous teachings and practice of our Government. The grave National Intelligencer was filled with learned articles, citing pre. cedents aud law, and it seemed to have been accepted by general consent, by every body, that the rebel emissaries were rightfully captured, and that the Government ought not to surrender them, even if war with Great Britain was the alternative. Our readers will remember that we expressed the opinion that our Gov rnment, in insisting on the retention of the prisoners, and in endorsing Capt. Wilkes, was abandoning its time-honored theories as to the rights of neu tral3, and, just so far, would labor at a disadvantage in discussing the question growing out of Mason and Slide'.l's capture. To ' our great surprise, onr suggestion did not ; meet with a single favorable response from any of our cotemporaries. On the contrary, we were called to task in rather a pompous manner by the Louisville Journal, and others, for misreading American history, and our mistake was corrected in a most : graceful and patronizing manner. Teeling ourselves outmatched in numbers and, ; we might add, in ability we "subsided," t and calmly awaited the progress of eventsMany of our readers must have detected the similarity between the point made by : U3 and the one on which Mr. Seward based , his determination to let tbe prisoners goWe said onr government had even gone to war, against the right of search. Mr. Sew- ( ard reiterates the same, and, thanks to his

j logic, our cotemporaries are suddenly con- ! verted to the same way of thinking. The I Louisville Journal forms no exception. It simple suggestion, that hereafter, in reading its cotemporaries dignified lectures on the incorrectness of their inferences drawn from American history, it be better assured that it is correct itself: We are very well convinced that tbe Mason andSlidell affair, disagreeable as it may be in some respects, has, in its results, rendered hostilities with Great Britain less likely to occur than they would otherwise have been. Very many persons have heretofore believed that Great Britain would seek a pretext for breaking oar Southern blockade or doing some other act that would vender a war unavoidable. There were certainly good grounds for such an apprehension, but, since our government has mani- ( fested such promptitude in conceding to her i that, which according to her own theory . and practiee she bad no right to ask, but w men according to American theory and practice, was undoubtedly just and right, she would dishonor herself and weaken herself in the eyes of all civilized nations if she were lightly to pick a quarrel with us. And if she does pick such a qnarrel with us, we believe that the next two years if not the next year will be the last of her existence as a power of the earth. Mors Stomach than Brains. We notice in the Cannelton Reporter that a justice of j that place recently refused to administer the oath to a recruit for the 60th regiment, alleging that the regiment had no power to recruit men in that county, and was restricted to certain limits. We presume that some interested person must have imposed upon the iguorance of this wise Solon of

the law, as the 60th regiment has the rio-ht i noaiei or v,ce vers whatever he had occato obtfvn recruits anvwhera in th Stat ion to Psa tric- 8hlrts' slipped, i-

... " ' : and tne refusal by ai- ttneor to swear in reemits, or otherwise throwing obstacles in ' the way of recruiting offi -ers, subjects the offender to severe punisL in jnt. We publish with pleasure the card of John G. Davis denying his reported visit to the Southern Confederacy. It is dae the reporter of the Associated Press to ; say that the item wasuaken from tho Norfolk Day Book, and that the aathor or authors of it are traitors, who probably knew that Mr. Davis was doing all in his power to give the rebellion aid and comfort, and i expected him Southward to receive the ; reward of his labors. Tho Hospitals In Missouri. A correspondent of tbe Missouri Democrat, in a late issne of that paoer, gives an inslgnt into the manner in whioh the hospitals of Missouri are conducted. We quote: At Syracuse the state of things is worse than at Sedalia. A t Otterville, but little better, and, in some respects, worse. Even at Camp Benton, two miles off, the writer ot tnis has seen men Ta? K , lio rr.i WnAH f ' for veek. without aev ciothina- bnt thir common garments, with no" sheets or pillow cases, and in several instances without beds; and this when there are two hundred and fifty empty beds in the Fourth street Hospi tal aione, wun every comfort ana attention ; that art and kindness can supply 1 ''Viator" j has told but a small part of the truth, and it me wooie were tola tne country would ring with indignation from one end to the other. One of the charges against Fremont was. that he purchased "ice, patent bandages, and head-nets" for the sick and wonnded. Gen. Halleck does not intend to " pnt his foot in it " by giving any extra attention to his sick soldiers. We venture to say that it would require two weeks in making "requisitions" from one Department to the other to move those sick men from the in.Dj uarracas in OS, i,oms to tne Fourth , street hospital.

A CARD. Rockvillk Ind., Dec 31, 1861. To the Editor of the 1 Dear Sib: I find 1 Terre Saute Journal : going the rounds of the newspapers, in the telegraphic column, nnder the head of "fiom Fortress Mouroe the following dispatch : John G. Davis, a member of the Fsderal Congress from the 7th district ot Ind ana, had arrived at Hopkinsvllle on his way to Richmond, bnt for what purpose is not stated. I avail myself of this method of st.it ir-.g to the public, that I have not been cuwide tbe limits of this county at any time during the last two months, nor out of this State since my return from rVashington in March last, except on two occasions attending to my private affairs in eastern Illinois. Nor have I at any time, contemplated visiting Hopklnsville, Kentucky, Richmond, Virginia, or any other place South on business of any kind or character whatever. I therefore pronounce the above dispatch totally and maliciously false, and leave the public to judge of the motives of him or them who would, in times like the present, fabricate and put in circulation such a base and wicked slander against an unoffending private citizen. I respectfully request you and such other papers as have published tbe above dispatch, to publish this card. Thanking you, and such other papers as gave a prompt denial to the statement referred to, I am yours, very respectfully, John G. Davis. Three Persons Burned to Death. On Thursday night last, tbe dwelling bouse of Wm. Cochrane, located on the mountain six miles from Altoona, Pa., caught fire, when Mrs. Cochrane and two of her children perished in the flames. Tbe wife was aroused from bed by the smoke, and opened the door out to an old kitchen attached to the house where fresh ashes bad been put into an ash-barrel, when the flames gushed in. Tbe husband went out another door and passed around the honse to a window which be tore out, when the wife threw or handed the babe to him. By this time the oldest boy bad got his three little sisters out from up stairs, and returned to get the rest, when he and another child and mother perished. The father in the dark and cold night, with his four little children, traveled some three miles to the nearest neighbor, with nothing but their night clothes. The Advance or oca Armies. The New York World says that unless all the signs fail, the rebels will be attacked before tbe middle of January. It will not be attacked upon One qnartan, but npon vry assailable point; people in the confidence of the authorities here distinctly assert that Richmond will be in the possession of our troops before the first of February. Tbe placing of Gen. Rosecrans in command at Romney ; the concentration of troops there ; the movements of Gen. Banks; tbe expected sailing of General Buruside's expedition within two weeks, and the significant preparations In the army in front of Washington, together with the news we hear from St. Louis, Cairo and Green River, all point to a simultaneous mtack upon the rebels within a very short time. A rascally trick of a Pennsylvania Congressman has been discovered in Philadelphia. It seems that a very large .parcel frequently passed through the mails back and forth, during the session of Congress, always franked, and marked " Pub. Doc." Accidently the character of this volume berime known. It was a book originally, and, if tbe envelope had been torn off, would have so seemed ; but the contents bad been ingeniously cut out, so that nothing was left but the outside semblance of a book. The leaf lifted up, revealed a box, in which i vras sent to tho member of Congress from ! tionery, etc. j Russell, the London Times man, thinks this country will be broken up because Mason and Slidell were given up. Rusiell is a regular smasher. He has pulverised this country into infinitesimal fragments at about the rate of three times per diem since his arrival iu this country. Madison, Wis., Jan. 6. The inauguration j i of Governor and State officers took place ; to-day. fix-tiovernor Kandail, on retiring, ! thanked his friends and co-workers, and expressed his regret at parting. He was fol- j lowed by Gov. Harvey in a few brief add ; appropriate words.
