Wo are glad to see that Ihe move for a Teach
era' Convention, which was made a fow weeks
Into by the SiiH'rinteudeiita of Mtiltoiinnuh und
t'liicliumii comities, is meeting with conaldi inble
fjvor Dtnuii j Ilio leachcA iu thii country. This
ia a mailer of llie highM iuijuprliiiiec ; and the
humblest aclionl teacher who ia now discharging
liia duties at an instructor of youth, Ib deservin;; of
more honor than lie who holds the highest i.filcc
in the (jifi of onr cil'mn;. The infliwicracxrrk-d
by bik Ii a piiblie benefactor reach far beyond tho
bniiiidur'ea of ii.'!j;M or!:oo.l, slatcn, or nn'.ions; and
i;eiiii'ationa yet tinborn will be influenced, in a lar
ger d' jjreu than ia or can be estimate-it, by the la
bore of him who tnn charge of the iirjt btidding) of
the yim'.hfiil mind.
The etubliahiiu'iit ofn thorough system of coin
moll H-honls WO'.ttd do more, intioitelv more, to-
warda re.ieeniii:g our country, morally unci politic
ally, III, ai the uni;-(l lubora (if all our clergymen
uml ph!iaiithroii.'ta of every order, directed in the
line of their various calling, could possibly aci-oni-i!ili
in llienent liuiidred yeara. The great impor
tance of thia matter, ti lid the present deplorable
lack of llie f,ieili:itK of education in On-g -n, mid
the inoxcunilile indifll-reiije of multitudes of par
enla who uecd to be uwukein to I It is subject, are
acknowledged by nil ; and yet, who is found lotuke
the load, ami set the ball in motion ? -
Gold ! ,-olcl ! gold ! ia the motto ; and who shall
h.ive the most cattle and the largest farms, isct ms
to be the strife among too many of our landholder
who already have an iibendaneo of this wotld's
goods to make them comfortable, and enable them
to sehool their children. Avarice seems to be loo
timcli of a ruling passion anions the American
penple, especially amoug a largo share of those who
have eettled in Oregon. TI ey never havo seen
the. Jay when their nppetilo for weahh was in the
lea.it eulislied, and, ui to getting of this world'
goods what they would call a competency, they
never will, although they should live to be as old
lis Melhiisalem.
If the present near HI Doradu bIioiiM prove u.i
fruitful ns Is desired by the most sanguine adventu
rer, und if we should all be soon to loa led with
gold ua lo bend and groan under its weight, will
we be any belter prepared, or feel any more incli
nation to devote a portion of our menns lo the cause
of education than we now are? All over tho hind,
ill every direction, nmoiig the hilliud on the p'alns
(with but few exceptions) our children me glowing
upin the must lamentable ignoraneo. Vice, which
is tho inseparable Imnjiiiai.l of ignorance, i?, wo
fenr, on the inciense in our country. All experi
ence, and all Irstory prove that it w entirely use
less lo attempt the reformation of society uhibtthc
masekB of the p. oplo are perishing for the want ol
knowledge. Lay the nxe of reform at the root of
.the upas tree of ignorance, nn 1 wc have a highway
v'wned, broad mid easy, to the consummation of all
that ia desirable in tha church, iu Ilio community,
nnd 111 the stale. Iflhlabo true, (and who will
deny it ?) what momentous considerations nrc urg
ing us forward lo a simultaneous effort iu behalf of
education !
Nothing has afiuriled us moro pleasure than the
exhibition of an awakened interest in thia matter
in some sections of this country. Wo have politi
cal conventions, and almost nil kinds of conven
tions, which conveno their zealous attendants from
all parts of tho Territory, but who among us has
ever had the proud distinction of having his name
enrolled as a de'egalo to an educational conven
lJB? Wo havo "slump ornlors-' iu abundance,
who tte ever ready to hold forth in n noisy h'tam
f.ir hours, upon the trauMeuJont importance of
"kocplng up the party," and electing A, U, or C to
tho fust grab at the treasury, but a!n 1 how many
of our "political patriots'' ever m.-.irfest the least
iine.uiiici about the small dark cloud sn 1 gather
ing alorin iu our social thy, rr aro ever Miiind
'"stumping tho coiinlj "' in Ubnlf ef education.
If our filiation is agoin to bo drawn otTto the
gold mines, end if they aro determine! lo make
another dcpera'.e effort to aid to tle ir pile of
wealth, we hoj.c our citizens will go with the full
determination toapppipriato a good share of what
hey are permitted lo bring back to the advance
ment of the interest of education in ourjuldst.
In the mean time we hope that those who re
main at h inie will tike measures to get th ings in
bucli a train, that nolliiig will bo left for the re
turning miners to do but to empty ft portion of their
"dust" into the "educational fund."
t3T The traveling community wh ise basinets
any call them to Portland, would do well by calling
on our gentlemanly and agreeable host, Mr. Smith

En. A nuns; In looking over n lute num
ber of Tim Arots I was gratified to see n
call for n Tiachcri' Convention or Amocia
lion. This it a good move, mid should
iiK-ft with favor from every one. If prop
erly conducted, il will bo of grout bent-fit to
the cause of education in Oregon. WhaU
wo want is concerted nclion on tho pnrt of
guardians nnd teac'iors of our common
schools. This can only be secured by meet
ino; together, nnd consulting with each oili
er on the proper means to be tted in nd-
vancing the interests of education ; nnd sug
gesting biicii improvements in the manner
of teaihinfr, nnd llie books to be used, iw
experience, has shown to bo necessary.
In no country has the cause of education
a deeper hold ill the minds of the people,
tint ti in Oregon. Government hus made
iiiunilit-eiit ptuviioii for the catiso of com
mon school, and more will bo done if the
right use is iiinde of what wo have already
obtained. It only remains for parents and
aelieis to improve their present advantag
es, to place llie common fchool sy.stem'of
Oregon far iu advance of all other countries
of her ng
Then let us have the convention, tiiid K t
tho place of meeting be Salem. Let some
of the friends of education in that beautiful
town sp'-'d: out, and say that u suitable
house can be had, nnd that thofo who at
tend will be properly provided for. As lo
tho time, allow me to suggest Thursday
and Friday, tho 0;h nnd 7th of Sept. next,
and 9 o'clock in the morning. And iu the
mean time, cannot our Salem fiicnds malic
arraiigi menls for some kind ofn musical cn
terlainmeiit on the evening of each day
say at 8 o'clock. This would be a treat not
often enjoyed by thoso who live far back in
tho woods, and among tho hills, and would
ati'ord an agreeable variety to all.
Ifnono more suitably are proposed by
some one else, would it not bo well to call a
meeting at the time nnd place above-mentioned
? and tho other papers in tho valley
will, it is boind, assist in giving it publicity

twelve miloa south of Jucksouvillo, on Applcg.ile
Creek, four miles below Sterling. Times arc
moderately good here for the aeason. There is a
seurcily of wutcr at Sterling. Hore we have plenty
of wuler, although the mines aie not paying very
largely, yet every one having water privileges, can
niako four dollars per day. I have bought in
pretty largely in order to get walnr privilege. I
do not expect to make anything large at il, but I
think it will at least pay $4, 00 to tho hand. 1
havo an interest in the Applegito company, and
also two other lots fifty yarda sonaro, with water
privilege. 1 havo ground enough that will pay
1,00 per day, to work four hands a year. I have
givo three dolluis per day for hands now. Hut
1 til iik I can get them cheaper after harvest.
We are afraid not, if our Colville mines create as
much of un excitement out there as Ihey have done
herc-Eo. There is but little to do in tho way of
pill making here, as ihero are but twenty or thirty
men in this immediate vicinity. It may perhaps
nay me lo set up shop in Sterling this full. If so
I will move up, and leiivo the boys to superintend
the mining, for tho time being. I have only been
here a week, and cannot give you much general

Bnuadrou ami VoitVlleatlons.Occupa
tlon of Iho Tchernaya by lite Allies.
The U. S. Mail steamer Atlantic, from
Liverpool on the morning of Saturday, Juno
2, arrived at New York June 13th. Tho
Atlantic arrived out at 0:50 P. M. of Sun
day, May 27.
Tho war news brought by this arrival is
the most important that we have received
since the passage of the Alma. Intelligence
by the last steamer announced that nfter
two nights of sanguinary conflict, tho r reach
had driven tho Russian garrison from a
strong position of defence before Sehastopol,
and had themselves occupied it. Tho loss
on both sides w as little less than eight thou
sand men. Since then, two most important
strategic movements have been cfTevted by
tho Allies, with' complete success.
The first was tho seizure and occupation
of tho .Russian position on tho Tchernaya,
which was effected with but littlo loss, tho
enemy retiring beforo tho nl lied advance.
Tho other success was yet more important,
being nothing less than the capture of
Kertsch, tho destruction of tho Russiau
squadron and fortifications there, nnd the
obtaining of entire possession of tho Sea of
AzolT, on the waters of which, the allies havo
now fourteen steamers.
Tho enterprise was accomplii-bcd with
out tho lo-s of a mail, the Russians
having themselves destroyed their defences
and retired. Tho telegraph wires being ex-
elusive ly in the hands of tho Governmr nt,
ten days must elapse ere the public can learn
anything beyond what tho War Depart
ment chooses, to diiloortU, but tho posses
sion by the Allies of the important station
of Kertsch, whance the garrison of Sehasto
pol drew most of their supplies, must ex
ercise a speedy influence on the siege.
Thero were rumors of another great
battle having bctn fought nl Inkeriuan, but
the statements want confirmation.
The Capture of the Place dVrmcs,nd or
the llne of tht Teliemaya.
The following arc the only accounts yet to ,
hand of these affairs : !
Gt-n. Pelixsier in despatches dated the 2d
and 24th of May, says ; '
"Thcencinv had formed between the cen-
tral bastion and the sea a large;('(-c d'arnien,
