Manning, Andrews, Straughan, J. L. Cowan, and Vaueette, to report such action as they deemed proper. On motion, tho Introductory address of Mr. Palmer was made the special order for 4 o'clock this afternoon, and the address of Mr. Deusou for 11 o'clock a. m., to-morrow. On motion, it was llesohed. That a committee of threo wind difficult to meet still it is nccescarv and profitable; that an efficient system of public instruction w as a necessary Internal Improvement, being an incen tive to Immigration, while the want of it would reptl it, and that whatever stimulates immigration will render tax ation ea-y ; that every material and moral interest of tho State depended upon the establishment and maintenance of a good public school system for the State; ami that it was much cheiper to build schools and colleges than jails and poorhouses, much cheaper to the State to have the youth intelligent and virtuous, than degraded and vicious. The Rev. A. J. Emerson was then called upon to address the Association, whi'-h he did in a most happy manner, illustrating his lonihle arguments most eloquently and logically.

A resolution was introduced by Mr. Waddell in regard to appointing sepa rate committees on tho different text books, which was referred to the above committee. Mr. Waddell read the report of the Committee on school statistics, which was tm motion laid upon the table. The President introduced Mr. Willie J. Palmer, of Haleigh, to the Associa tion, who delivered an address equal jy instructive as entertaining. Mr. Pal mer first alluded to the important posi tion w hich tho youth of the present generation occupied, and urged the ne cessity of proper moral a ad intellectual training in older that they mgiht bo fitted to become good and useful citi zens. He urged tho necessity of edu cation in an economical point of view as tending to lessen crime and pauper ism. He gave full a statement of pres ent condition of education in North Carolina, also a brief analysis of tho present school law urged the necessi ty of forming cuntv educational asso ciations to awaken enthusiasm among the people, &c. In conclusion he paid an appropriate tribute to tho distin guished men who had been natives ol Chatham in the past and urged tho cit izens to properly train and educate the present generation, so that they might sustain the honor of the country. At tho conclusion of this address, the Association adjourned to meet at 7 ap- and Mr R J Powell, of Chatham, w.r h,1. mitted as members. Mr. II. A. London, Jr., in behalf of the committer u fctate Association, stated that the ommitit,e had thought it best to meet in Raleigh on the third d y of August, whm the time and place lor the asfccmbhug ol tl.H StataVssoci atioii could be selected, und dvo notice thereof given through the public press, and that in tho meantime the commit tee would bo ideased to consult the teachers throughout the State as to what time and place would be most convenient. Mr Johnson Cox made an interest ing statement as to tho operations of tho Normal School near High Point, and on motion the following gentlemen wero appointed a committee to visit said school and report to the meeting : Messrs. Ashley, Denson, Emerson Martling and Winslow.

They fear his tranchant lojic, his outspoken, blustering honesty, and, above 11, bis inveterate hostility 1 1 the Radical lead ers, who w ere Ins bitter enemies in the days of impeachment. Some of them predict with undi guised terror that he will become "a leader and not a folio w- i er" in the Senate. Of course he will, i Johnson has nothing to follow except e rie.nflis VJfsWy - onrrrde- cliniug days of power. These views he has since ventilated on tho stump, and will no doubt urge with sledge hammer force from his place in the Senate. That he will go there the re sults of the Tennessee election have made almost a fixed fact. It is no wonder tiiat Andy Johnson's presence in the Senate chamber should bo a ter ror to the Radicals ; but then he is very likely to be sent there by his fellow-citi zens for all that, and we hope he will. A little leaven of Andy Johnson's spice will do that august body no harm, while his wholesome ventilation of many public questions, such as the linimits of pirislative authority, the privileges of the Executive, the reality of the Consti tution, to say nothing of the farcical nhases of impeachment, will undoubt- a Sut liOYengood's Shirt.

She is the cussedest woman I ever seed anyhow for jaw and pride. She can scold an blister onto a bull's ace right on the curl in two minutes and pattern after every fashion she hears tell on from bussels to britches. Oh? she's one on 'em, and so netunes two or three. Well, you see, I got some cotton truck to make a new shirt outen. and coaxed Bets to make it, and about the time it was done here conies lawyer Johnson along and axed for breakfast I wish it had pizened him. durn his hide, and I wonder it didn't for she cooks awful mixens when she tries.

Well, while we were eatin', she spied out that his shirt was tiiF and mighty slick ; so she never rested till she worried it outen him that a pre paration of flour did it, and she got a few particulars about the proceedings outer him, and set in and biled a big pot of paste nigh onto a peck of it and soused in my shirt and let it soak awhile; then she tuck it and ironed it out flat and dry, and sot it up od its edge agid the cabin in the sun. Thar it stood as stiff and dry as a hoss hide and it rattled like a sheet of iron it did. It were pasted together all over. When I come to dinner nothing would do but I must put it on. Well Bets and me got the thing open after some hard work, she pullin' at one of the tails and me at tother. and I got into it. Durn the infernal new fangled shirt, I say.

One day an unfortunate, overwhelm ed with debts, presented himself at the office of a Parisian marriage bro ker, to e-pouse one of the pretended fortunes of 3,000 francs per year. Af ter receiving explanations, the broker demanded, according to his custom, 2U0 francs for expenses. The appli cant shrugged hi. shoulders, and re plied : " Do vou suppose I would mar ry if I had 200 francs?' One of the pictorial weekl'es for last week has a fine wood cut of the inside of a railroad car, on approaching Iu- uuno polls, at which point the conduc tor opens the door and calls out : "In dianapolis fifteen minutes for divor ces." The picture was evidently tak en by our special artist on the spot.' A Prussian court has sentenced a swindling matrimonial broker to six months' imprisonment, a fine of one hundred and fifty dollars, two years' loss of all his rights as a citizen,-and two years under the supervision of the police ; while his wife was sentenced to eight weeks imprisonment and a fine of fifty thalcrs. A Berlin butcher has been fined for breaking the head of a matrimonial broker. The broker had promised to furnish him with an amiable and docile wife, but the butcher found, when too late, that he was married to a shrew. Hence his revenge. Two former French schoolmates met after a lapse of years. -4So you are married. Victorine?" Yes." Hap py?" "Oh, yes, perfectly happy." 'You have children, of course ?'

The Treasurer made his report show ing the finances of tho Association to be in a healthy condition. On motion of Prof. Brantly York the Association will hold its next regu lar meeting at the Ruffiu Badger Iu stitut , at Moringsville. An iuvitation was extended to tho members of the Association to attend the tk National Teacher's Association," to bo held at Trenton, N.

On motion it was llesohed, That the Secretary of this Association bo authorized to furnish the proper credentials to any member w ishing to att nd the convention. The hour arriving for which Mr. Donson's address had been made the special order, tho President introduced to the Association Mr. Denson who for an hour and a half entertained he Association with an address most learnedly conceived, beautifully written and eloouentlv delivered. He showed the value of the study of Natural Science in Educational systems, review ed the ancient antagonism of that and A Story from "Vetl 15raec."

She had refused him ire- nuentlv. and he as often renewed his suit. At one interview sue Decani e ex ceedingly annoyed at his importunity and told him she could not marry him. that their tastes, opinions, likes and dislikes wero totally different ; "in fact," said she, "Mr. Bacon, I don't think there is any subject on earth upon whieh we agree. "I assure you, Madim. that you are mistaken," said Mr. Bacon, "and I can prove it."

Whatever else written about the late war may be true or false, tho fol lowing from the pen of Gen. J. A. Early, of Virginia, will never be dis puted: ' - I believe that the world has never produced a body of men superior - ia courage, patriotism and endurance, to the private soldiers of the Confederate armies.
