our republic is the high and single aim of
the Convention. Parties in politics and
sects in religion will not for a moment he

II bring
aneous-
iy helore ihc several Mates 111 a 101 m iui
enlightened, definite and successful action.
As subservient to this humane and patriot
ic object we would suggest a few among
the many topics which will demand the
consideration of the meeting, viz. :
How many children are the re in each
State who, according to the laws of that
1.1 L . .
Mate.
houid be under instrnetmn:' How
many of this number are found in the
schools? What is the condition of the com
mon schools in each Stale? What is the
organization of the school sy.-temr What
branches of knowledge should be taught
in oureommon school books? How many
school apparatus and school libraries be
aele most usetul.'' In wnai uraneues suuuiu
ins
truction be given orally ana in wnai
deffree? What should be the qualification
ot teachers? Are normal schools for semin
aries for the preparation of teachers) dcira
On what plan should they be estab
lished? Is a central normal school for the
Union desirable? Should it be under th.'
direction of Congress or a society of citi
zens? What connection should the com
mon schools have with academies, colh ges
;nd universities? What models for school
houses are best? Will a -'board of Educa
tion' established by each State, afford the
best supervision, and secure the highest
improvement of the schools? flow can
itinerant teachers and lecturers best supply
d' stitute places? Is a national system of in
struction desirable? How should a school
lund be applied? In what part of each
St.ite has the greatest progress been made
in elementary education? How may school
statistics, which must be the basis of leps
hiiion, be most easily collected? What fea
tures ol the systems now in operation in
Holland, Germany, Prussia, France and
Great Britain, may be most usefully adopt
cd in this countrv?
1' el low Citizens: The discussion of
these and kindred topics will probably
elicit a mass of information the importance
u( which cannot be easily overstated. We
would therefore urge those who shall at
tend the Convention, to come prepared
lor making known the valuable facts thev
can gather. Helieving that all the talent
of a country should be so tempted forth,
by judicious culture, as to bring it into
profitable and harmonious action; that it is
1 nport.mt to the public good as well as to
private happiness that we should receive
he requisite supply of useful infor
mation; and that each faculty which the
Creator has implanted in childhood should
he developed in its natural order, proper
tune &. due proportion, we inviteyou to se-
eute the attendance of delegates from your
Mate ptepared to promote this first duty of
our republic the education of our youth.
Believing that our country must look to
intelligence as its defence and to virtue as
its life-blood; and that the plan now propo
sed, orig nating in the most enlightened
views ol freedom and humanity, will be
the lirst in a series of means for securing
the greatest good to future generations, not
1 only among us but to our sister repub-
'lies, the hvcnim ilpsirps to hriror into n
locus all the light which can be collected
in our land. Some of the most distinguish
ed gentlemen in several States have prom
ised to he present; and we would suggest the
expediency of inviting the members of

jloncguski. We are gratified to find
that this new novel, written by a disting
uisheel citizen of North Carolina, has met
with approbation from so respectable a
source as the Democratic Review. The
author had, no doubt, reasons satisfactory
to his own mind, for concealing his name
from the public but so far as a name can
influence its success, that would have given
eclat to Eoncguski, with the admirers of
brilliant talent and private virtue. We
trust the reading public will procure this
work a nil pronounce upon its merits after
a perusal. To such an issue it may be safe

More Indian News. A gentleman di
rect from Middle Florida informs us, that
on the 2Sth ult., while a party of regulars
attached to a Post near the Suwannee Riv
er, were engaged in building a bridge about
two m iles from the Fort, they were fired on
by a party of Indians, (the number our in
formant did not know,) and six of their
number killed. They were under the
command of a Sergeant, who was among
the slain. They were rallied by a private,
and although inferior in point of numbers
to their savage foe, succeeded in beating
the Indians back, and securing their dead
and wounded. Six of their number shoul
dered each a dead man, and retreated, the
Indians pursuing and firing upon them.
,They succeeded, however, m getting; to
the Fort, promptly returning the fire of ihH
Indians during the whole distance. The
conduct of the regulars in this short hut
severe engagpinent, is said to Inve been
ery bravcand soldier-like Three or four
Indians were seen to fall, being borne off
by their companions.
Savannah Georgian.
(j3A-man named Piznrro Edmunds
has lied from Richmond to avoid the con
sequences of the crimes of swindling and
f-Tgery, of'er having resided some years
in that city in good credit and with a repu
tation unsuspected by the most critical ob
servers of men. He was a member of the
Common Council and President of the Un
ion Savings Mtnk.-Xorfdfc Her.
Tornado. A violent tornado passed in
the vicinity of Newark, N. J.on Wednesday
last whose force it seems was nearly equal
to the well remembered New Brunswick
tornado. Some individuals at work upon
the salt meadows, hearing the noise of its
approach, took refuge in a solitary house
and were scarcely in when the spoutswept
over the house, with awful power, carry
ing away the whole upper story and lea
ving two of the family who had fled to the
econd floor, with no other covering than
the broad canopy above. The barn and
out houses on the north were shivered
into ruins and the fragments scattered two
and three hundred yards along the path of
the storm. A horse and wagon at the door
were turned completely over, the wagon
and harness torn from the horse, passing
lengthwise over him and shivered into
atoms the strong-st iron joints being torn
asunder. ib.
Miss IVeslfalls. The statement going
the rounds ol the papers, that this young
lady, the victim ol ( apt. Aplcby, was dead.
is untrue. I he Bulialo Republican says,
the report was put in circulation by her
worthless father, to extort money from
Alplcby fjr a settlement of the case.
Smuggled Goods. Jesse Hoyt, the
collector of New York, has recently detec
ted an extensive and organized system of
defrauding the revenue by importations of
goods under false invoices. Within Ihe
last two weeks he has ferretted out the
schemes of the smugglers, and taken pos
session of goods in New York, Philadel
phia, and Baltimore, exceeding SS00,000
in amount.
It is stated in the Philadelphia Inquirer,
that a person in the employ of some of
the parties implicated in the recent seiz
ures of smuggled goods in that city, has he-
come States evidence and developed much
important testimony as connected with
the affair. The plan, it is added, extended
to a number of individuals.
(jit is estimated that the late seizures
of foreign goods at Boston, Philadelphia,
and principally New York, amount to
nearly two millions of dollars.
The Case of the Jlmisled's Crew Deci
ded. The New York Journal Commerce,
a'urday, 2, P. M. has the following post
script. "We learn that a member of the Grand
Jury arrived in this city this morning in the
steamboat from Hartford and states that
Judte Thompson decided, that in view of
he facts presented by them, the Courts of
this country had no jurisdiction in the ease,
and that the transaction was to us the same
as if taking place in Havana. Conse
quently the Grand Jury found no bill
against the prisoners.
Persecution in Madagascar. The
Queen of Madagascar has been for four
years engaged in a violent persecution of
the natives Who had embraced the Christi
an religion. Six refugees lately arrived
in London from that Island. In 1S35 the
English missionaries had collected 5000
of the native children into schools, and
two churches had been erected and well
filled. The missionaries have been obli
ged to abandon the Island, and some cf
their converts have suffered death.
The Spanish Government, by a formal
decree, has prohibited the Methodist Mis
sionaries from exercising their functions
in any part of the kingdom.
Live and Learn. The Baltimore Patri
ot notices the simple mode adopted by a
gentleman in that city to set forward a
stubborn horse which in passing he obser
ved a carman beating unmercifully. The
horse had refused to move a step forward
for hours, albeit he backed more readily
than desired. The gentleman ordered a
rope, which he directed tied to the tail of
the horse, and passing between his legs
out at the fiont. He took hold of it and
gave it a pull. The horse looked wild for
an instant as if taken by surprise, and at
the same time gave indications, by kick
ing up, thathe disliked the new plan of
drTving. The rope was pulled strongly,
and the horse with a very quick motion
started off. The triumph was complete,
and the infliction of more cruelty spared.
The plan is the one used in diiving stub-
born mules in South America.
Knowledge ? Power. At a meeting
which took p'ace the other evening for the
purpose of forming a North Mechanics"
Institution, Mr. Ihsil Montague, as an
siilustration of the maxim that knowledge
is power, related the following anecdote:
He was walking a few mon'hs ago in
Portland place, when he observed a large
crowd of people assembled, and found
jthat it was in conseqenee of a large mastiff
tlog hav ing a lesser one m his grip. Sev
eral persons tried, by splitting the mas
tiff's ear, and hy biting and punching
his tail to n.ake it lit go its hold, but
in v.iin. At last a delicate and dandified
young gentleman c me up and make his
way through the crowed into the circle,
requested to he allowed to separate the
dogs: assent was given amid jeers anil
laughter, when the dandy slowly drew
from his pocket a large snufl-box and hav
ing taking a pinch himself inserted his lin
gers again ino the box, and withdrawing
a lirge pine . deli be rat. ly applied it to the
mastiff's nose. The snuiTopera'cd so pow
erfully on the animal's olfactory nerves,
that it not only immediate Iv let go
its hold, but made its escape as fast as it
j could. The dandy was loudly cheered,
upon which he stooped for a moment and
said, lGent!emcn, 1 have merely given
you a proof that "knowledge is power.'
jTJR is statetl in a French print that
an artist of Paris has succeeded in prepar-
inga chemical compound, that he calls Anti-Septic
Fluid, which preserves animal
bodies from corruption more perfectly than
the ancient practice of embalming. The
mode which is applied is very simple. All
that need bedone is to inject the fleiid into
the carotid artery or any other ol the great
vessels. This preserves the body without
any external corrosion or disfigurement,
and without internal mutilation, without
disembowelling or the removal of thebrain.
Bodies thus preserved, it is said look more
like waxen figures than corpses. In birds
the plumage, and in beasts the color, skin
and hair, are retained in all the freshness
aud beauty of life.
New York Evening Post.
First Bate Business. A doctor in
Vermont had a son who studied his father's
profession, removed to a distant State, :
married, and went into practice. After a
lapse of about three years, the father vis
ited his son, and during his visit he re
quested the latter to take him around his
-ride,' that he might sec ihe extcut of his
son's practice. During the excursion the
old gentleman remarked two new meeting
houses, with graveyards attached, which
the younger informed him had been filled
since his residence there. He also told his
father that he had frequent calls to a distance
from his regular circuit. Upon the old
gentleman's return home, his wife asked
"how Fred, was doing."' Vell; very
well; first rate,' he replied ;'he has already
filled one graveyard full, another nearly so,
& is doing a pretty fair chance business all
about in other paitsof the country.
Equal to Morns almost. The Rchaa
Potato appears to he taking a prominent
stand among the wonders of this prolific
age From all quarters we have accounts
of the most astonishing yield which was
resulted fiom its cultivation. It is str.ted
in the Franklin (Pa.) He po?icry, that Mr.
Samuel Ruthrauff, ofthr.t County planted
seven ounces of Rohan Potato this season
which yielded fifty pounds! The same
paper mentions that Messrs. Huist &
Deer, of Philadelphia, obtained five bush
els, as the product of five potatoes. The
Philad. U. S. Gazette says that Mr.
WTolbert a farmerncar Philadelphia, planted
in his garden two of the Rohans, weighing,
together, three-quarters of a pound.
They were cut into twenty-four sets, and
planted two feet apart, en the 10th of A-
pril. Their yield was as fellows: 20 t
potatoes, measuring one bushel and a half
peck, and weighing sixty-three pounds

Scene on board a Steamboat. The
Louisville Journal gives the following ac
count of aii occurrence on board a steam
boat: An amusing incident occurred the
other day on board a steamboat bound up
from New Orleans, between a gentleman
and a ruffianly blackleg, who were enga
ged at a game of poker. The betting upon
the game ran up to S3,000, when the gen
tleman exhibited the four aces. 'i ou cer
tainly hold Ihc strongest cards, but I think
here is a document that can take the mo-
ney,' said the blackleg, making a motion
for the bank bills with one hand and draw-.
ing a bowie knife with the other, and
pointing to the inscription, ''Hark froni,
the Tombs." "I think you are mistaken,
in your calculations,' retorted the gentle-j
man, cooly pocketing the money and dis
playing a cocked pistol with the inscrip
tion, doleful sound." The discomfit-,
ted had not another word to sav.
