- (Gorrcspoubcutt . . Eaton. 0., May 13, 10ÖI. , Ma. Editor: Having given vou a few thoughts on common- fccfiools, showing their great importance to community when properly conducted, I will now present the most efficient means, whereby teachers can become, not only well, but thoroughly qualified in the specified relations. In Ohio teachers, in many of the counties, have formed themselves into Societies, called "Institutes," which meet, once or twice a year, according to the provisions of the constitution, and continue a week. In order that you may have some i lea of the benefits derived from those Institutes, I will present a sketch of the one held in Preble co, at Eaton. It meets in Oct. on Monday morning, and e.ontinues a week. Whj me', the first thing done, is to appoint its officers and teacher, and adopt the t necessary rules. Some, 3 or 4 distinguished " tenchcrs from high Institutions of learning, are previously engaged, these together-with 3 or ,4 of the best teachers in the county, constitute tli o board of Instructors, of the Institute, each having his particular department aoi5ucd him, oi branches on which to impart instruction. Tho members ot ihu Institute (common school teachers) are formed into one glass for instruction.

When the day came, Elder T made ; his appearance, and met a lare concourse of peoplo, who were on hand and anxious to hear, the King of old Fogies, in opposition to the great moral and political enterprise of Legislative j prohibition of the liquor tramc. JJiany have believed him to be the ablest champion on tho whisky side of prohibition in the State; and if one may judge from tho effort he made on this occasion, the judgment might be txprcssivc that ho was very anxious to maintain his reputed character. While Elder Thompson was speaking in the morning, Prof. Fish, a talented Baptist minister, of whom your readers have some knowledge, took a Beat in the congregation. Thompson made a specch of about thrco hours in length, . when an agreement was entered into for Elder T. and Prof. F. to hold a discussion on the subject of Legislative prohibition each one limited to half hour speeches. After dinner tho debate- wa opened by Prof. Fish, who look up th arguments of Elder T., ono after another, and disposed of them with the dignity of a man aud tho case of A master. Not a single argument to him appeared to be difficult of reply, or kuotty in its entanglements. Elder Thompson replied with considerable show of ingenuity, and a very liberal show of demagogueism, and "attempted " sarcasm indeed he bid fair to floor his gentlemanly oppo nent with his abundant flow of personal abuse and sophisticated inuendoes. Prof. F., in his rejoinders, disclaimed all personal attacks, and moved on in his argument, like tho hcio of a noble fight, intent only on tho honorable vindication of tho great causo of temperance. Elder T., in his last speech before tho intermission for supper, became very abusive, and denied that Prof. F.

was a "regular B.tptUt preacher," or that he ha 1 any right to dictate lo the people of Indiana what courne they should pursue in regard to how they should vote on the subject. Supper over, the deb tte was renewed by Prof. F., whi during the interval, had put in his p.ike, what, in some qusrliT, has been conrädered as legal evidence to prove that the hol der thereof was h "regular llaptist preacher" ' of the Old School. He masted on Elder T. treating him with ihr usual courtesy of gentlemen be hoped Elder T. would raineniber that they wer both Baptist preachers, and should, in" this discussion, show that respect for each other which the audience would approve of, and which would bi consistent with their profession. ; Elder Thompson, with great bitterness, proclaimed Prof. F. an impostor, and descended to the most abusive 'epithets in order to set the audience against Prof. Fish; indeed this speech consisted chiefly of abus there was but utile or no .argument even attempted. I have' often witnessed 'discussions and repartees' exhibiting lalent of a high order, and ready wit of the keenest blade, .but never, I think, has it

been my privilege to luten to a Detter speech or witness a richer scene than tho closing argument of Prof. F.
