Wo may be able to settle all questions with England albeit General Butler in de fault of any other excitement, tried the other night to stir up Philadelphians by showing that the Treaty of Washington was an unmitigated swindle, in which our unso phisticated representatives were taken in and done for. But with tho Dominion wo shall have peace only when wc swallow and digest it. A new speck of war is on the horizon. The particulars of the ease appear to be as follows A short time since, tho E. A. Horton, while on a fishing cruise, was seized by tho British authorities for an al leged violation of the Fishery law as rati fied between the United 8tates and Eng land. The vessel was taken into the port of Guysborough, Nova 8eotia, and with her officers and crew detained for several weeks awaiting the decision of the Vice-Ad miralty Court. The investigation of the case was delayed from day to day and from week to week, until the Horton and her of ficers were found to bo missing one morning from her berth in Guysborough. Tho dis covery created an intense excitement in that port and the neighboring one of Halifax, N. 8., and therefore it was determined at once to send a man-of-war in pursuit of the audacious little Yankee schooner and teach her that it was dangerous to thus trifle with English laws. The story concerning her es cape, and it comes from the Guysborough authorities, is that on a dark and stormy night of last week when tho elements were raging, and at a time when it was thought to l>e madness to attempt to put to sea, par ticularly from the dangerous and rock bound coast of Nova Scotia, Captain Tony, master of the E. A. Horton, aided by some daring American seamen from the Straits of Canso, succeeded in getting the vessel out ami started her on a homeward voyage. When the morning dawned, and the Yankee fishing schooner was discovered to be “gone,” the chagrin of the Britishers was beyond imagination. Notice of the affair was telegraphed to Halifax, and that old Rip Van Winkle town, from the citadel down to the dockyard, fairly trembled with rage and mortification to think that a few Yankee sailors should or could have the im pudence to steal a little fishing-smack of a few tons right from under the muzzles of Her Majesty’s guns. No time was lost by the authorities of Halifax in arriving at a conclusion in the premises, and in less than linnrs flm TTewoll, 68; Stoe Creek, 39; Greenwich, 135; Downe, 48; Fairfield, 1. ♦Parker—Maurice River. 1; Deerfield, 107.

The following truthful remarks from the Newark Courier, gives somo of the princi pal causes why Mr. Walsh was defeated.— It will be seen by the vote that Cumberland County gave him a good majority: Mr. Walsh has been defeated for Gov- ernor, not from any Democratic gain in the State as the election of a Republican Leg islature plainly shows, but from defection in our own ranks. In plainer words, tbo Republicans of New Jersey have simply thrown away the Governorship in order to gratify a purely personal feeling—nothing more, nothing less. With the result in Newark principle appeared to have had lit tle if anything to do—prejudice everything. Mr. Waish is a gentleman, and the rowdy element opposed him; he is a prominent church man, and the irreligious opposed him; he is of foreign birth and because of j the same, native Americans opposed him; j he is of English parentage, and the Irish opposed him; he is a temperance man, and the rummies opposed him: lie happens to be a wealthy manufacturer, and many dis satisfied working men opposed him; he was a Sabbath-keeping, and God-worshipping Christian man, and on that account in ma ny cases tlie Germans opposed him; in short every possible consideration whereby per sonal prejudice of any sort that could be heightened and intensified was raked lip by his opponents and most unscrupulously used to secure his defeat. In that peculiar business some profossed Republicans were engaged, and a great many quietly aided and abetted the job. Had the Republicans of the Fifth Congressional District simply done their duty by the principles ef their party, Cornelius Walsh would to-day, in all probability, have been Governor of New Jersey. SABBATH SCHOOL INSTITUTE. The Cumberland County Sabbath School Association opened its Annual Institute iu the Presbyterian Church at, Greenwich, Oc tober 3Ht., 1871. President, P.. M. Bate man, M.

Benediction was pro nounced by Elder Gillette. Tbe Afternoon Session commenced at half-past 2 o’clock. Fifteen minutes were devoted to devotional exercises. The Pres ident then introduced Rev. Robert Lowry, who would conduct the Institute. Mr. I.owry made some general remarks and then took up the subject, The Geography of tho Holy Land.” Rev. Win. M. Jones fol lowed on tbe “Topography of the Holy Land.” These addresses wore instructive and interesting. The conductor then gave an instructive black-board lesson, subject The Rich Man and Lazarus.” Rev. It. H. Davis presented the subject, How can we secure more of tbe Spiritual element iu our Sabbath Schools,” iu a timely and in structive address. All joined in singing, All hail the power of Jesus’ name.” Ben ediction by Rev. C. It. Gregory. The Institute met iu the evening at 7 o’clock.

Millville was then fixed upon as the place for the Semi-Annual Meeting In the afternoon a Children’s Meeting was held, and notwithstanding tho heavy rain the church was well filled, and quite a large attendance of children. Meeting opened by singing “My Sabbath Home.” Rev. G. W. Enders then addressed the chil dren in a very earnest and happy way, ta king the Watch as a text and illustrating it in a very impressive manner. Rev. 13. C. Linpincott was then introduced, and inter ested the children in one of ins black-board lessons. Rev. Mr. Lowry followed with a black-board lesson to the parents. This session of the Institute closed by electing delegates to the State Convention as fol lows Robert M. Estonian, Samuel Ap plegit, I. D. King, J. C. Bowen.

The President then delivered the closing address in a very impressive manner. Tho usual resolutions were passed, doxology sung, and benedic tion pronounced by ltev. Robert Lowry, and the Institute adjourned line die. NEW YORK. So far, in immediate result there docs not seem to come any great things from the re cent upheavals of political corruption in the city of Mew York. The committee have made a great deal of fuss—the newspapers with a noble indifference to their own jiecu niflrv int.ftrAsts Iiava IpH tliA fiwnf nf t.l-i** tie, but—the thievos still hold the power, and only in one or two unimportant in stances have done any special disgorging of their plunder. They still live in their mag nificent mansions instead of state prisons— they still sit in their splendid carriages in stead of breaking stones on the highways, and they still enjoy their splendid incomes instead of being fod on prison fare from the bounty of the State. Indeed we aro not sure but that in the course thiugs are taking the exposure has not done harm rather than good. Onco establish the position that in an open contest between a class of thieves who wield political power, and the public— the public goes to the wall, and thieves will be emboldened for all time to come. The records of the world show no such case of gross and glaring corruption—no case in which it is so openly and terribly proved, and no'case in which the efforts at a proper retribution and punishment have been so feebly met. The community socially has not ostracized the wealthy plunderers, but receive them with all the smiles which ap pertain to the fortunate possessors of mil lions. Even the churches to which some of them have the offrontery to belong do not expel them from their communions, but on the contrary admit them to their most sa cred seclusions and sacraments. The loader of it all has fought out an attempt to polit ically displace him, and to say the least of it has not been vanquished. These facts speak sadly for New York, but they speak truly. What its future in these respects is to be does not come vizaged in the brightest aspects, and on the whole wo are disposed j to thank God and take courage because we live in Jersey. Musical Convention.—Next week, on Tuesday morning, at-10 o'clock, the eigh teenth Annual Convention of the Cumber land County Musical Association opens in Grosscup’s Hall. The sessions of this body are always of great interest and profit. Prof. Wilder led the Convention last fall and met with great success. His assistants this year are possessed of superior vocal and instru mental talent, and we may expect a grand festival of music throughout. The after noon matinees will be equal to concerts, and the two grand concert* on Thursday and Friday Evenings, will be among the best ev er given in the city.

Our correspondents in the Northwestern States sends us distressing details of the ef fects of the two month’s drouth through out the most of that regiou, and of tho terrible fires wbiohhave, ins groat measure resulted therefrom. The 4*rih is dried to 6uch a depth that it sets is a conductor, and living trees arc Calling bom the action of the fire which undeniiues them.— Streams and wells are unpieeedently low, or entirely dry; vegetation is dried up; fields are so parched that there is but little suooulent food for stock. The fire-fiend has followed with appalling fury, causing fearful destruction of life aud property.— For several weeks great (ires have been raging iu the woods; in the dried marshes, and along the liues of railways, consuming buildings, fouces’ crops, and destroying live stock, desolating hundreds of square miles, and rendering homeless and without food or employment thousands of m»n, wo men, and children, just at the opening of winter. The loss of life is of frightful magnitude, aud rarely in the history of tho world have these fires been equaled in the destruction of human life aud of property and in the desolation of wholo communities Towns and villages have been swept out of existence iu tho space of a few hours, and thousands of human beings have been burned, drowned, or have fallen victims to other violent forms of death. Not less than fifty villages, in tho States of Wisconsin and Michigan, have been wholly or iu part destroyed. Tho town of I’eslitigo, Wis consin, with a population of 1,500 to 2, 000, has been entirely consumed, not a ves tige of its inhabitants remaining, and those only- of its population escaped who threw themselves into the river and reached tho opposite shore, Hundreds were burned, suffocated, and drowned. This fire, diiven by the high winds, swept over an area of eight miles square, destroying houses, barns, fences. &c., and the loss of life will number over a thousand. Tlic Belgian settlement of Brussels was almost entirely consumed, many persons are missing, and the survivors arc left destitute amid the ashes of their ruined homes. The whole coast, from Grocn Bay to Menomonee, has been devastated, many villages consumed, and their population made houseless wan derers, dependant upon charity for the ne cessaries oflife. On the east shore of Green Bay the loss of life is placed as high as a* Peshtigo, and the destruction of buildings, fences, stock. &c., is complete. More than a dozen towns along the eastern shore of Michigan have been swept away, and many hundreds of neonle left without, fond ov shelter. A large district, including several towns, lias been devastated on the western coast. The town of Manistee, with a pop ulation of 4,000, has suffered severely by the flames, and the loss of property is stat ed at not less than one million of dollars.— In the counties of Huron and Sanilac, with a population of 21,000, ten thousand must commence anew, having lost everything but their lives. Besides the frightful loss of life reported, hundreds have been dis abled, many partially roasted, causing ad ditional suffering and destitution through out tlio region devastated. Detroit, fort Huron, Milwaukee, and other cities have converted all available space into hospitals, and the citazens have become nurses. Destructive tires are also raging in the forests and on the prairies of Minnesota, towa, Missouri, Indiana, Ohio, Kansas, Col orado, Wyoming, Dakota, and in Ontario, Canada, involving immense losses of prop erty, of live stock, and of human life. In Minnesota the fire swept over the irarie in to the forests of Glencoe, Lo r'uJtir, M an kato, and Now Ulm. The fire said to have reached nearly as far south as the Iowa border, and oast to the Minnesota river. Many small towns have been com pletely destroyed, and the farms in the track of the flames have been almost inva riably swept ol' buildings, fences, crops, &c. Northern Minnesota is also the field of sim ilar disasters. Nemaha and other counties in Kansas have suffered from these prairie firos; also various sections of Missouri and the other States named. In California fires are said to be raging in the mountains the whole length of tlio State. Copious rains in the regions of the Northwest, which have been the most fearfully scourged have diminished the ravages, and may soon ex haust the destructive power of the flames; but the devastation already accomplished is siekening to contemplate, and the suffer ings of the people must be great the ensu ing winter, and the agricultural interests of the burned districts will be crippled for some time to come.—Dept, of Agriculture. THE VINELAND RAILROAD. Who owns tlio Vineland Railway is a question often asked. A million of dol lars has been rapidly expended in the con struction of this road. It is built in a fine manner. The road bed is substantially made. The ties arc of the best description the iron fifiy-six pounds to the yard aud tho cars are by tar the finest upon any road in the .‘•tate. These facts naturally give rise to the above question. Upon inquiry, we find that tho principal Boud Stock holders are—in Boston, Henry Saltoustall, Esq., 15 Cliauncey St*-oet; Oliver Ditson, Esq., and the Adamses, of Express fame— in New York, Henry G. Marquand, Esq., who is also the principal owner of the Iron Mountain Railroad, of Missouri; and An drew H. Green, Esq., the Deputy Controller of the city of New York, who is, or has been one of the Directors—in Philadelphia, Townsor.d Whecian is also a party in inter est. The design is not only a direct Railroad from New York to the South and West; but in addition to tips, a propcllor will be started direct from Sandy Hook to Boston. This road will doubtless doublo the pro ductive value of the lands in South Jersey, Delaware, and Maryland, and not only com mand tho trade of these regions, including the Delaware and Chespeakc Bay, but will also form a new outlet for the trade of the far South and West. Tho road is now run ning to Vineland and Bridgeton, and will soon be in running order to the Bay.— Vineland Independent. N. B.—The regular trains now run to Greenwich, eight miles beyond Bridgeton. tST Instead of publishing a lengthy ar ticle prepared for this week, in reply to misrepresentations and falsehoods manu factured by one of the most notorious slau dcrers iu this, or any other State, we have concluded to take the advice of many friends and refrain from gratifyiug sucii an outlaw by giving him any further notoriety. Crystal Lake Waltz.—We have re ceived from Edwin F. Johnson, of this city the above named piece of sheet music, com posed for the piano, by Mr. Johnson. It is an excellent production, and reflects credit upon the young composer. ZW~ A sermon will be preached next Sun day evening at St. John's Lutheran Church by the Pastor.

TEACHERS. During the past school year, there have been omployod in the public schools of j Cumberland County, oue hundred and for- j ty teachers; forty-five male and ninety-five j female teachers. Average salary per month to male teachers, *40, and to female teach ers $38. Eighty-three third grade and live second grade certificates have beeu granted. Of the second grade, four were given to males; of the third grade sixty wero given to females; twelve applicants were rejected three males, and nine females. Position of the teachers:—Much has been said and written about the importance of the teacher’s position, and yet it is a lam entable fact, that many persons engage in teaching without any just sense of its im portance—without any natural or acquired fitness for the duties to lie performed, and without tho least desire to become more cn lightcnod. We have in our comity a large number of faithful, hard-working teachers, but we liavo too many who arc satisfied with the third grade certificates. A county examiner writes: “Why is it that wo do not havo more applicants for second and first grade certificates V” Per haps it is because trustees do not make enough distinction in hiring teachers, be tween those who have third grade, or sec cond and first grade certificates. A teacher who holds a third grade only, can get just as good a school as a teacher who holds tho first grade. Tho teacher who works hard, and fits himself for his business, is not ap preciated; but this wrong will be corrected in time, and in the meantime let teachers more fully realize the relation they sustain to the children, under their care. “To the instructor is committed tho tender and im pressible mind of childhood. It is his to mould and instruct, to fill with truo and useful knowledge, to illumiue with the light of science; to purifiy and ennoble with tho full rays of moral truth; to fortify agaiust the errors and tho evils which will assail it; to fashion and discipline for wise, virtuous, and useful action, so that lie may be made to honor and glorify his Creator.” There is no office higher than that of a teacher of youth, for there is nothing on earth so precious as the mind, soul, and character of the child. To make a child think for himself, is tho teacher’s main bus iness. He should not aim to cram the mem ory of children with the results of his own thinking, but stimulate them to do their own thinking. Children are great imitators; therefore we should be very careful in our daily walk. Children will be a good deal like the teach er, and teachers can have such schools as they wish. If you wish a quiet orderly school, be quiet and orderly yourself; if you wish to be treated with respect by your scholars, then treat them in a respectful manner. Don’t talk to them about the fol ly of vanity and thus have poor les3ons, wlii'e you spend more time fixing your hair than you do in looking over the lesson;— don’t talk to t'qpm of tho evil of chewing to bacco, while you have some in your mouth; or of tho evil of smoking, while your cigar case is filled with the best. Northend says: “Let your own example be correct and it will be potent for good. Speak as you would have them speak; appear as you would have them appear; act as you would have them act, be what you would have them be.” BRIDGETON PORT NORRIS ROAD Most of the distance between Csdarville and Port Norris is under contract for gra ding. Track laying is going on from both ends of tile lint?. In a oliort time* the road will be finished from Bridgeton to Cedar ville, and a regular train put on to run be tween the two points, a distance of about nine miles. This will open to Bridgeton and other market", a good territory, enjoy ing many evidences of real wealth, and sup porting quite a large population. Ccdar villo and Fairton are both considerable towns, and are doing a fair amount of bus iness. The railroad will have a tendency to greatly quicken this trade, and largely in crease their population. All along the line of this road are signs of new life. Baild iugs aro going up in Cedarville and Fairton, and they are rapidly increasing their busi ness facilities. Building lots have been re cently sold in these towns at very fair prices. At the new town of Bellevue the sales have recently started up with fresh vigor. When strangers from a distance can land from the cars at Bellevue its improve ment will be greatly accelerated. The coming fall and whiter will suffice to finish the road, and the Spring will open with life along the whole line. No greater inducements can be found for investments thau on this road. m— More Improvements.—One of tho lat est improvements in this city, which comes under our notice, is tho new roof on the dwelling of our next door neighbor, Sam uel Harris. On Tuesday last, the firm of Smith Phillips made their appearance with somo of their efficient workmen, and by Wednesday evening a substantial new shingle roof covered tho ontiro building. The new roof looks very neat, and defiant to the snows and rains of the approaching winter, but the old one with its covering of moss presented an appearance which of ten reminded ns of the “old moss covered bucket which hung by the well.” Thus the. “old landmarks” arc gradually disap pearing and giving place to improvements which seem to be the order of the day in our thriving city. 1 The 14th Annual Convention of the New Jersey Sunday School Association will con j venc iu tho Market Street M. E. Church, Patterson, N. J., on Tuesday, Wednesday i and Thursday, Nov. 14tli, 15tli and 16th. The arrangements made by the Executive Committee warrant the expectation of a j large and profitable Convention. Every Evangelical Sunday School in the State is requested to send at least one delegate.— Ample arrangements are made by tbe citi zens of Paterson to accommodate all who may attend. Commission Merchants.—G. M. Ran dolph Co., No. 22 and 24 Delaware Mar ket, Philadelphia, whose card appears on our first page, are receiving consignments of farm produce from this county and dis posing of it on the best terms. Farmers and others who have produce to sell would do well to consign to them. Mr. Ran dolph is lately of this county and being wetl acquainted with the markets, can get the highest cash prices for all produce put in his charge.

Catering for the Public.—There is not a more difficult thing than to satisfy the varied tastes of the public. However good the production may be, somo are to be found who are displeased with it. It is a task that requires the display of an im mense amount of skill if you would bo suc cessful. We congratulate ourselves tliat our efforts to please have been universally successful, judging from the amount of pa tronage and the great demand for our splendid Fall Clothing, which is now being sold at lower prices than ever at the Great Clothing Emporium of Bennett Co., Tower Hall, No. 513 Market Street, half-way between Fifth and Sixth streets, Philadelphia. Second Chop of Grapes.—Mr. J. M. Moore of this city, informed us a few days since, that there was growing on somo of his vines a second crop of grapes, well ma tured iu size but not ripe. He also had still on the vines somo very good Caatwba grapes fully ripe. The Crops in Southern New Jersey are exceedingly fine. Sweet potatoes are large, and of excellent quality, but owing to drought in the early part of the season the yield iu some sections is not as large as last year. m How to Save Monet.—Do not buy what you do not want, and cio not want what you cannot afford to buy.
