Wliurth'AB, We regard Common School ed
ucation as one of the most important subjects
of litis ago; mid whereas, We consider that
a sound education consists in cultivating the
moral and physical, as well as the mental pow
ers ; Therefore,
1st. Itesoleed, That wo hold it to bo the im
perative duty of every Teacher to build, to the
full extent of his abi'ity, a uniform moral and
mental structure upon a well developed physi
cal foundation, adopting as his motto, " a right
heart and a sound mind in a good sound body."
2d. Heiolved, That in view nf th greut
benefits arisipg from Teachers' Institutes and
kindred associations, by giving tho teacher
more enlightened views of his profession, ele
vating the standard of iiiulificatii)iis, ai.d pro
ducing more philosophical, enlightened und
uniform methods of instruction, we earnestly
recommend tlioin to all interested in the cause
of education, and solicit a deeper interest in
their behalf from the teachers ami school offi
cers of Oregon.
;)d. Hesoked, That the standard of nnalifi-
catinn for teachers it) our county ought to be
elevated, the character of our schools im
proved, and a muro enlightened tone of mtlilio
seiilimrnt created ; and to accomplish these, it
is me uuiy oi every leacner to thoroughly qual
ify himself for bis profession, to visit other
schools, exchange views, discuss educational
topics, become, lamiliar with tho science of
school government and discipline, nnd the theo
ry und practice of teaching; in short to have
his mind well stored with knowledge, and a
clear head to impart it to children.
lth. Jlesolred, That the Union or graded
system of schools is the only eorreot system,
and we pledge our influence to s rure its ndnp
lion in Oregon as soon as possible, as far as
practicable.
flth. Hetolccd, That more general informa
tion and instruction ought to lie given in our
schools ; ami that, turning other topics, we es
pecially recommend vocal oniric, extemporane
ous mental nritli mctio exercises, anatomy and
physiology, concert exercises ninl moral lessons.
(ith. Itetolcrd. That patriot iu mid religions
truths should often be presented tn our pupils
and instilled into their minds, and for the par
tial accomplishment of this, every school should
open each morning nt b ust with some religious
exercise the teacher always avoiding sectar
ianism in religion and party pnlitics in school.
7lh. Ucsulved, That iti.t.rder to exert a pro
per influence over our pupils, our hithils of
promptness, punctuality, neatness and order,
might to be such that they can safely Imitate.
Sill. Jletvlcrd, That no pi-rsnii who cotinte
nances the use of ardent spirits, or indulges iu
profane language or gambling, might to be li
censed or eoipl.i ed ns a teacher.
Dili. Kcsnlrrd, That irregularity in attend
ance and lar.liness in school, are emhnrrussiiig
to teachers and detrimental to pupils, therefore
parents should uid in correcting these great
evils.
lOih. lir.solcrd. Thjit parents should often
visit their schools, become acquainted with
the teacher of their children, nod consult him
frequently in regard In the advancement and
well being of their children, and the whole
school.
lllli. lietohtd. That corporal punishment
cannot b entirely dispensed with in school,
but should be resorted lo only in extreme cases.
llh. licmlced. That pupils nre generally
crowded Inrnunl into higher studies too rapid
ly, and are not taught and ma le to leel the
neceastt) of often and thorough reviews, which
is really the great secret of success in leach
ing and learning.
13. Htioked, Tha'. we recommend District
Libraries, a nuifonnity of texl-boolis, school
apparatus, charts, outline, map, globes and
black boards, in all our schools.
I4ih. Htwlred, That the importnuco of
piivate leaching is not fully realized, and that
great reforms in the early training of children
are necessary, anil the best of teachers should
be lecured from private schools.
15th. lluotcrd. That like services require
like compensation, whether rendered by male
or female teachers, other tilings being equal.
Kith. Knotted, That a fnquent change of
teachers is detrimental lo the best interests of
schools.
17th. Rrxilrcd, That we tender our thanks
tn the itistruuturs, lecturers and essayests of
this institute.
16th. Rf$ohtd. That We tender our thanks
to the citizens of Salem for their hospitality
during this session of Ilio institute.
lllih. llrtMred. That the Executive Com
mil lee solicit a copy nf the lectures and es
sars tn he filed and preserved as the property
of this association.
tiOth. Itnolcl. That the Executive Com
mittee secure the puhlirntion of these resolu
tions ami an ubstrai t ol the proceedings of this

pleasant refleolion however that nearly all

Speaking of Oregon's great men, do not un

threo years ago, with a lady on my arm, my
companion remarked, "What n pity it is he
dont't send back to thu St ites for his wife, he
must bo so lonely without her, and sho is luch
a nice lady." To which I naturally responded
"why don't b send for her ?' "Oh." said
she. speaking low aud confidentially, "he Is too
poor ne nasal got the money!' We both
sighed sympathetically to think' that a few pal
try hnndred dollars should separate so worthy
a family. Not that we wished to restore au
exoellentlndy to tho arms of a drunken sot (it
being then generally understood that Amory
had sunken into the lowest depths of dissipa
tion) ; fcr we learned that he had suddenly re-
inrmeci aim joineu trio cittircli. This wus
about the tiiuo he eleotrified his old boon com
pauioiis and acquaintances by commencing to
preacn iroin tuo pulpit on morality ami reli
gion. We felt that at such s time tho snoiety
and cninpaniiiif.liin of his wifo would be of the
greatest lmport.,uco iii cheering him on in tlio
jroou worK. indeed our reelings nn the sub
ject were so deep that were only prevented
from getting up a subscription at onco for his
nenellt, hy llie lears wo entertained of wound
inf? bis dclicato pride. Unfortunate man I not
only bereaved, but miserably poor I This,
however, wus before he commenced to act as
agent for the Sanitary Commission.
Hut what a enhilary revolution wns effected
in his financial affairs in 11 few brief months I
Noble and patriotio hearts had commenced to
canvass for the Sanitary cnuse. The generos
ity nnd patriotism of Orepon wns soon mani
fested by a brond and rapid current of gold
uud greenbacks flowing into the hands nf the
agent. The loyal citizens of Oregon were
glad to have nn opportunity to do something
for the relief of our suffering soldiers, nnd
thereby assist the government in putting down
the rebellion. It was not strange that so no
hie a cause should take such a deep hold on
tint affections of all. mule and female, old and
yoiinj,'. rioh and poor. Yes, tho pourest in the
laud have given their mite, ami 1 state it as a
fact within my own knowledge, that thousands
of dollars were contributed by poor laboring
men who wero unable to buy shoes for their
own children during the whole of the winter
season,
Tlio beneficial effects of tlmt "stream of gold
and greenbacks" was soon apparent. Whilst
the agent wns laboring in aid of tho Sanitary
cause, a mysterious aid oaitio to him ! Amory
nn longer sorrows in poverty ! His family soon
returned to Oregon. The agent, now grown
wealthy, had purchased a handsome residence
already fitted up and furnished in the most
elegant and fashionnhle style. It oosi much
money, but what need ho care fur expenses I
The Sunitary cause was one that was dear to
the hearts of the patriotio men and women of
Oregon, nnd for it they were willing to poor
out 1 heir money like water.
Hut enough of this subject for tho present.
I start for Portland to-morrow morning and
perehanoo I may seo Amory there, or learn
something of his well being and doing. I shall
return in two or three days nnd yon will hoar
from me ugain next week. Till thou, adieu.
Yours, fervently. Clackamas.
Military Talent in the War. Under
this head the last Army and Napy Journal
discourses in un interesting manner uu the
prominent oommauders thus fur developed by
the war. It says that the present humbled and
despairing oondition of the rebel cause is doe,
more than lo anything else, to tho rise of mil
ilnry talent in the Union armies. It then con
trasts sotiio of the opposing generals. Of Leo
and Grant it says, that neither is us remark
able for his brilliant ns fur his sound and trust
worthy qualities; that both bavo tho Nnpnlu
01110 faith in the strongest battalions; and that
liulh have great ciidurunoe nnd ancoiiqiieriible
determination. It shows how well mulched
they were by a glance nt the Inst summer cam
paign. McClullan and Joe Joliusfnn form the next
parallel both romarkahle as organizers uud
disciplines of troops, aud for inspiring ennli
denue among their followers. Both, however,
were comparative failures as generals, because
they knew loo much rulhcr than too Mule. were
fonder of maneuvering than lighting, and
wanted a greater preponderance of ailvuiitiiges
on their respective side thau was p:ssible ill
the nature of iliiiitrs. Their successors. Hook
ernud Hood, had directly opposite qualities
both being splendid corps commander, brave,
determined, good tacticians, but umible lo
bundle large armies as they had handled corps.
If Johu.'tou and McC'lellati fought too liltlu,
Hooker nod Hood fought too much.
With regntd to the .Southern idol. Stonewall
Jackson, his merits were executive ability, do
tenuiued lighting and skillful handling of small
forces. Hut in all these respects his parallel is
found iu either Sheridan, Hancock or Warren.
The latter, for example, has often evinced a
ctuiiliiiitttu.il of dash aud sound judgment, and
a careful attention to iloluils, which remind one
of Jackeon. The closing parngruph of the
Army und Sary Journal' ai tilde we copy en
lire, ns follows:
"To Sherman, we can afford no parallel in
the history of this or any oilier modem war.
All abler tactician llian Joe Johnston, whom
he out maneuvered from field to field ; as de
termined a fighter, when the necessity arises,
as either Hiniker or HiohI ; as good auexeca
tUe iidiccr, when under Grant, as either Jack
son, Meade or Warren, ho lias shown iu the
combinations of his last campaign a strategic il
ability unparalleled since the days nf Napoleon,
llis able government of Savnunuh exhibits a
sound judgment and prudeuue which, combined
with his other unequalled excellencies, make
him the greatest soldier tjio American people
have yet producd."

FBKXCU BCIIKMK8 IX MKXIOO-A DEEP
,im DIPLOMATIC GAME,
Iho affairs of Mexico especially in their
relation to the United States are now, mora
than ever, attracting the attention of the world,
so that all reliable .records of the country's
progress to peace and prosperity or to further
revolution and anarchy become a mattor or
paramount Interest to the statesman and poli
tician. Thus we find that the alleged cession
of a number of rich Mcxioan provinces to the
Emperor of the French is a general theme of
ODihinout both In Europe and this country.
The Paris Moniteur has officially stated that
" all reports whioh have boon oiroalated in ref
erence to a cession made to France by Mexico,
of Sonora and other provinces, are absolute
fabrications." From other semi-offioial sources
we also nave formal denials of the reported
transfer. Tho rumor is also dsnied direct from
Mexioo, though not through any offioial soiree;
and it will be remembered that Dr. Gwiu, oa
Ids arrival at Havana a few weeks ago, on his
way to Europe, took great pains to eontradiot
' tho whole statement as to the cession of terri
tory and his own elevation to a Dukedom by
his Imperial Majesty of Mexioo, , i
Wo nave before said that the positive denial
which Dr. Gwin gave to tlio rumor invested it
wilh au air of probability, If not of truth. The
oflioial contradiction of the transfer hy the
French press, aud especially by the Emperor's
organ, strengthens as in our opinion. The an
tecedents of Dr, Gwin as a soheming politician
mo loo well known nnd understood for any re
liance to bo placed upon bis protestations of
honor anil disinterestedness as regards this So
lium scheme ; and whatever failure has attend
ed his attempt to obtain such rich slices of ter
ritory from M.-xioo has been dueentirely to the
firmness displayed by Maximilian andnis on
willingness to place himself In a hostile atti-'
tilde toward the United States,
- Theru is no doubt whatever that a deep dip
lomatic game is being played by Napoleon in
reference to this Mexican question. 'The lead
ing organs of public opinion in England have,
hnw over, seen through the matter as we saw
through it here. The London Times agrees '
with us iu refusing to disbelieve tho rnmor of a
cession of territory altogether on the mere
f.tilli of an oflioial contradiction by the Afoai
feur. " Indued," it says, " it can bo positively
shown to have had some foundation, whatever
limy he the ultimate extent of its realization,"
The reasons assigned by the Times fur this
statement nre nreoiiely the same as those
which we offered some days ago for refusing to
ucoopt thu denial of Dr. Gwin without some
measure of allowance. " In any case," adds
tha paper from which wo have already quoted,
the public, remembering the number of formal
stutcmeuts und contradictions that preceded
the transfer of Savoy tu Frnuoo, will for a con
siderable time regard the matter with reserve.
According to some impressions the most prob
able arrangement is that France will not im
mediately lake nn absolute cession, but will
guuranteo a new loan to Mexioo on the secur
ity of the provinces named." This is, in all
probability, tho true explanation of the scheme.
Napoleon will not take any direet step to em
broil himself in war with this country, whioh
would oertaiuly follow any open seizure of Mex
ican territory ; hut he may safely allow some
private French company to work the mines and
ilevelopo the rosouroes of the now provinces.
The eaino company, as is proposed, will con
struct the Tehuuutupco railroad a favorite
scheme of Napoleon's and buy up a large pro
portion of the Mexican loan, With a private
enterprise of this kind, snnotioned by the Gov
ernment of Mexico, the United States would
not have any direct right to interfere, and by a
plea of this kind thu astute Emperor of the
French could always preserve friendly rela
tions with this country, and yet gather into the
coffers of Frnnce the teeming wealth of those
valuable regions.
Taking all theso things together, everything
concerning Mexico becomes highly important,
and deserves due consideration while these
schemes are being worked out. In tbe mean
time, it is no doubt tbe earnest wish of Maxi
milian, as our correspondent states, to cultivate
friendly relations with this oountry and obtain
n recognition uf his empire at oar hands if pos
siWe. To this end we understand that a gen
tlemitu of high standing aud position in Mex
ico has already urrived here direot from the
cert of Maximilian lo the Government of the
United Slates. The precise nnture of his mis
sion has not yet transpired; but as he will
sum ily proceed lo Washington, we shall not be
kept very long in doubt. What tho President
limy tin iu the case cannot now bo foreseen.
Ho certainly csnuot recognize the empire bat
though we cannot do this, we can have ne ob
jections lu llie numerous improvements whioh
we aro told the Emperor is striving to Intro
duce. Let him go on with these, by ail means;
for when the time comes for as tu occupy the
country wo shall luivo so much the less to do.
Hut hIhIu complimenting Maximilian for bis
usefulness in this direution, we must nut fail to
keep our eyes on the movements of Dr. Gwin
in Europe, nnd the operations of Louis Na
poleon iu reference to tile provinces which may
yet lull into his bauds, if we do not take tlie
p oper precautions to preveut it. iV. Y. Her
