In the pending civil war the loyal parly ; are aiming at remit. These results are the. destruction of Ihe rebellion, and M.e pfrpetnation of the Government upoti the basis of; tbe principWs enunciated by JtfP-tson and bis compatriots in the 1 ec!artion of Inde pendence. Lojal civilians are wiiting, i peaking, working and paying to achieve results, ami the loyal soldiers ate fighting! for Ihe same purpose. Now ss results are j our object, it is plain that we ought to em- ( loy whatever agent and instrument will i , as ten their acquisition. The Government, J and the law-abiding people who constitute I onr Government are under no obligation ! whatever to abstain from the use of at.y means which will weaken, cripple, or do-1 etroy treason and traitors. We are no more bound to respect the rigliia of law-defying. and God detvintr rebtlw, than we are bound Aue copperhead newspapers liave bitterly denounced the Administration for enlihtiug cegro toldiers. Now, common fense ought to teach every one who is a pntriot, that the propriety or itrrroni ietv of thi ... . . . . ... measure depends solely and wholly upon !K?Uvjivo. wrong, ltist A tnVtter tf policy altogether, foras we said before, we are seeking rttultt, and ought lor use whatever agencies will aid us in acliiev- f iug these results. The slang about "negro ! wool," and "negro worship," is supremely ! childish. It ia unworthy the lira ot a sen-1 eible patrio ot. If the slave who is now ued ' by bia rebel master lo destroy the Government, can be used to save (he Government! aa. . l .a . ..i ana aes.roy ine traitor, then we say in Uod's name, lot him do it. It ia very natural that reoeis snouid ot ject to having a mine exploded under their feet. It is not to be expected that Genera) Pillow and Jeff. Davis and bia "brother Jo." will upon the abduction of a regiment of contrabands form their respective plantations, wheie they have been raising corn and meat for tbe rebel army, and their transfer to tie Federal ranks with muskets in their hard, lo shoot "Butternuts," and impress Confederate horses, hoes and cattle; it is net to be expected, we say,' that Ihey will look upon thimovemenl as' legitimate warfare at all. These Constitution-breakers will call it Unconstitutional; these law-breakers will call it lawless; the?e aavagea will exclaim at this as the culminat ion of Federal barbarity, thai a loyal slave! should shoot bis rebel master. But need j we care for this? Are we to he influenced i by the opiniocs of traitors? If the slavta'in Virginia were to revolt and capture Richmond, all loyal men would rejoice; why then should we oppose the enlistment of negro oldiera if they are found useful? So far as the experiment ha been tried hitherto, amid innumerable difficulties and against bitter opposition, the experiment seems to ne very success I u I.

Several were killed and wounded on the gunboats, and a great number of the reliels were killed. We went to another landing one mila further down the river, where we euibarkcd on ihe steamboats, dropped down the river about six miles, landed on the MississisMppi side and went into camp where we had cm nan v to eet reaiv to move in a lewnunuies. llUlj IAt II " ..... - ...

Just as the batte - ries onened. our regiment was ordered to double . ..... w. k. which was done in good style. Just as qu:c w e crossed their line of fire, one of our boys was struck with a piece of shell, wounding him severely in the arm. We laid down near a strip ol woods until morning, and thea our company with the other skirmishers were ordered to advano. We were deployed in line of skirmishers and commerced tiring on the enemy's sbarp-i-hooters. The rebels kept retreating until they came to their main force.

Our regiment advanced in line of battle to the top of the hill a .d then marched by the right flank for about half a mile and halted for a while. The rebels came bao'-, but were met hy our men and held for about one hour. They then changed their line of battle and came down on the 9th Wisconsin, but got cut up pretty badly. Our regiment was ordered to their suppoit. The rebels were on the top of the hill whilst we were in the hollow, and our Colonel, seeinz that the men were getting cut up considerably, dered the regiment to fix bayonets and cf orcharsre up the hill; this was quickly done and the reb els wore dislodged from their hiding-place; but they gave us all we wante.l from ano'her hill opposite. We then poured in a cross fire and soon dislodged theui making them retreat for good. e marched up the hill and gave three cheers for Gen. McCleruand and three for the victory."

And better, if possible, vou can . here find childem tmght to study and recxU, " and not to .. Of course the degree ot perfection in th.g respect differs in different rooms. I will state the plan of the eehool in tbe main building, as nearly as 1 cm from observation alone. In room io. 1. the childem receive their .1 lessons, cc ousting of learning to rra.l in the , First Header; to write on their slates and they write well, too to count and combine; small numbers, and to draw simple figures Thev are also eiven oral lessons and taught losing. In room ro. 2 ihey read mine r u . . . , Second reader and have the same exercises . in iio. I. oiuy ii m mgiiri ginuc, " j first ltst-ons in geography ;o addition. , Children are taught to pell every word and j not lo guess at it. The same ystem of grad-; ing prevaila throughout the building. I bavo tot time now to partknlarize more, but I will invite those who ate skeptical about my report, to visit the schools for themselves. The schools among the Germans in the basement of the church on Franklin street, is a poor affair. I do not j know how well educated their teacher is in German, but I do know that he cannct sue- ' cessfully teach iu English. j What is the cause of ihe sucess of the' Richmond school? First, a corps ol live teachers is beaded by a lir superintendent, and they devote their whole energies to their schools. To them, school is first, pleasure ceond. By this I mean, tbey, lor the most nart. use ail ine neips m their reach lo improve. They read journals, attend teachers' meeting, consult each other, and visit other schools. A new idea to there is a. gem lhat ibey treasure. -Aa i the teacher, so is the school." Second. The people of Richmond for the most part, help the teachers. W hat more do we need to improve? This is no stand siill age. We need another Union school building, located Sonth of Mam et-. ' ranahU u wniioui ine f reach of the main building, to receive enual . advantages with those who do not. The advantages that town corporations enjoy over Ihe country district schools, is that of having a system of graded schools, thus having an adept to teach each particular de paitmeDt Our townsman, S. R. Lippencotf, manufactures elgantly finished carriases, because his labor is divided, and a skillful mechanic! is employed upon each department from the ! tough timber to the coat of varnish. But: how is it with the carriage maker of the western frontier. He must make, iron, paint and varnish a'l himself; hence the difference in the results. Such is the difference between a graded school, and one that ia not. I hope to see our citizens of the sonth end of town, demand their just rights in the shaped an elegent and commodious building. I will n:Xt notice the townships as far es I am able to report. H. Hadlkv, School Examiner. SoXKTRI5a LI KB A CoiSCIDESCE It will be seen by the incident re'ated below, by the Indianapolis Journal, that instead of seven devils," as iu the olden time, beiog cast out of a woman, 'twas seven revolvers. Not a grest deal of difference betwc-:n the two, il the latter are placed in the hands of deviliih copperbtads. The latter woman was doubtless very symapathetie; at least she can sy tbmt file had ka fellow-feeling in her bosom! While the search was being made of the passengers on Ihe Central train on Wednesday evening, a soldier noticed that a lady's dress appeared more full-brsasted than it ought to have naturally been, aod his qui'.k eye, also, de!.cte 1 ti e fact that the artificial contents of the lady's bosom were so pressed out against the folds of the dress. as to make it almost certain that pist jIs were ! there. He was a very polite soldier, and in I the most gentleranly manner, apr nached) the lady and said: "Madam. I waot those' revolveis." She replied very indignantly ; ! "Sir, lam a respectable woman and have! no rrvolvera." The soldier agaia sail,! very coolly: "Madam, I wish you to give me those revolvers." an 1 pointed to her; bosom. She again denied that she had trv.

iiierriaiv cisuu is mat out i trwi iiw , . followiog the pernicious example of the London Jnrut, has inflamed the spirit of animosity by exaggeration and misrepresenMKnrMii. tatiou. All this is unworthy rf a cation, strong enough to be confideut of iia lutute, inteliiget i enough to understand its true iuterest, af 4 noble enough to be guided in its course t tward other cationt fy the rules cf natural morality and honor. There is great danger moreover, in allowing our passions at such a moment to overcome our cooler judgment, lest they hurry us into action which might involva us in the most grievous calamities. Whatever be the conduot of Eng'and toward us at this time, as vet there has been nothing in it which would justify our re-' sort to the inconclusive arbitration ot war. War hot w pen England and America would be as heavy a mis-fortune as could befall either nation. The great English raoe ia essentially one and is bound together by the strongest ties of common sympathies common prospects. Without speaking of the miserable consequences that would instantly follow in both counttiea on a declaration or war, we mav well paus3 to consider the lasting and remoter consequences of a conflict between j a - Encland and America. Among them would be burdens added to the load already borne by the poor, woes brought home to many a household, the progress of free institutions ..- - a a m . . 1 ; checked, and the hope, of niat.btnd or tbe -t at aa v r.VWl i If ttt fl WklMA fM1 ITrt bng-desired day of brotherhood and peace disappointed and crushed. A calamity so teinblo as this war would be is to be averted at any sacrifice, 8ve that of rational dignity and honor. 1 Everv lover of free institutions, and every man wiio has the interests of bis own country and of humanity at heart, is bound to exercise whatever influence he may possess to prevent difficulties which may be settled by peaceful methods and in a just, calm spirit, Irom dragging the people ol England and America into an unwilling wr. The true slate of the eae is this, that war between England and America is earn eMly desired by the Confederates and is the last hope cf the rebels. It is they and their allies who have stirred up the ill will between the two countries; it is they who by their paid agents are endeavoring to coropli cate evary quet-tion that may arise betwen the two governments, aud to render pence ful conclusions impossible. And while the KprPRM.ftnists and tl.eir Northern allies are i be main tomenters of war on "this side ol the Atlantic, the aristocrats in England are the only war party there. They are naturally ia sympathy with the-slave holder The success of the Nation in this contest in w hich we are ensrarred. a success which is assured if we keep from a foreign war. is the.sjjiy-csAL.tbp eM'ffgfTts; of "freeTu - stitutions, ot tree and well paid labor, of in dividual independence all the world over. There is nothing strange in the fact that a pow erful and rich landed aristocracy should nstinc'ivelv. as a elaas. drparl anrl WbiV .i'- ' prrveni tins success. l ne cause of tbe aristocracy," says Professor Gold win Smith of Oxford, one of the ablest and most in4ependent of English thinkers, "the cause of aristocracy on both sides of the Atlantic is one; ana accordingly our arisiocracv an1 Atlantic is also one; and a larie nart of tb English people now feel this to their heart's core." Let the American people also feel ihis, resolve that neither the slave owners of America nor the aristocracv of KntrUnt snau succeed in provokintr a war which i n . . . . j i-" - would be undertaken by them for the sake of establishing class privileges the more securely in England; and of pcrpetnadng tho system of slavery in America. That tho English people is really at heart one with the American people, is manifest by the warmth of their sympathy with us in our struggle as expressed in great meetings in their chief cities; by their loud, indignant protests against the course of the government in the matter cf the" Alabama," by their refusal to be misled by the delusive promWes of the rebel agents. The English government afready.by its al;ered tone shows the force of this current of popuoar part, with a firm and cool maintenance iti uiiiuivn. tf iiii a wiu tnrh. 1 rst n n An of oor own just claims, and a fair and rea ! v ..I :.. - : . . . i . . . J uiuission ot iuc jusi claims againt us, with a careful avoidance of violent words, of threats of force, of suflen and resentful demeanor in o-ir dealings with England," w shall serve our own great cause far better than ii could be served by any course which should estrange from u the hearts or the English people. If we conquer ke South, ami exterminate the rebels, we conquer onr enemies in Eeglsnd. and we win the battle lor the people there as well as here. The interests of Lumanity and of civilization are to be promoted, the cause of freedom and eq.nl rights to be advanced, by keeping and establishing a peace which shall unite the people of America and of England in a permanent brotheihood. Peaca ia for tho. rnpie's sale, war would be for the interest of the aristocrat and the slave owner. N.
