O* In consequence of the Regimental Muster In
this viltye, we have anticipated the usual hour ol
publication of our paper.
Ledum oh Common Schools.—It will be seen by
the uunexed notice, which has been forwarded to us
for publication from Andover, that Mr. Philo P.Jtw
tit proposes shortly to visit this state, and with two or
three exceptions, to go into every town in this county.
His object is, to oxcile a deeper interest in visa cause
of Common Education, and of elevating the character
of our Common Schools. Such an object is laudable
in the highest degree, and deserving of every encour
agement. In the language of the Connecticut Obser
ver, he proposes to meet parents, teachers and child
rail, and indeed the whole population, “ for the pur
pose of exhibiting to them apparatus designed to ben
efit Common Schools, and to explain some of the im
provements in conducting them. Mr. Jewell has am
ide recommendations am ‘an experienced and well
qualified Instructor,’ from Mr. S. R. Hall, author oi
Lectures on School Keeping, and now Principe! ol
the Teachers’ Seminary, Andover, Mr. Josiab Hol
brook, Rev. Asa Rand, and Mr. B. D. Emerson, Prin
cipal of the’ Classical and Mercantile School, Bostrn.
The Berkshire County Lyceum have also expressed
their high saiisfuclion with his efforts, and recommend
him to the patronage of all interested in Schools.—
Rev. Prof. Ralph Emerson, (formerly of Norfolk, in
this county,) in a letter says, *1 am much pleased in
learning Mr Jewett’s purpose of s|iending the ensuing
vacation in Connecticut, and especially ia that portion
of it with which I am best acquainted, where, 1 trust,
the interest already felt in common education will se
cure a prompt and general attendance on his lectures
upon no important a subject.’ Mr. Jewett is one of the
Secretaries of the Americas School Agents’ Society,
recently instituted in Andover,one of whose objects is
to excite an interest in Common Schools, by means
of itinerant I eel o ream ' This plan,* says Professor E.
‘ embraces essentially the very thing which used to
occur to me while visiting schools, ns so very desira
ble, vis. n travelling mission on school keeping, in
which instruction should bn rapidly and cheaply given
by preceptand example, to both teachers nod pupils.
m I indulse the highest bones of its success.’
" It is new the season of the year to begin to think
hew we shall have good schools in the slate this win
ter. W e woald earnestly advise teacher*, parents and
pupils, who may have the opportunity, to attend Mr
Jewett’s Lectures and hear and see for themselves.”

It is the desire of Mr. Jewett to lay before the peo.

cessity of more vigorous effort* for their deration; the
advantages of Associations orToackers under the pa
tronage of Lyceums ; the benefit* of Visible Illustra
tions, shown by an exhibition of Holbrook’s School
Apparatus; and to advert to some nf the most import
ant receul improvements in the ffl of teaching.”
Sitiee the change in the political character of the
New-York Enquirer—since its de|iartore from the
sloughs of Jackgooism to the advocacy of correct prin
ciple*—the editor lies been assailed by those presses
in the Mate, which formerly applauded him, with all
the rancor nod malignancy which disappointed fac
tioaisw aro capable of exertiag. Oat of the state, too,
he is taken to task by very many af the ’bright lights'
of Jscksoaism—«along others by the Governmental
Globa, who charges Webb with being bribed, bought
up by the U. S. Bank, Sic. Webb wards off the blow*
manfully, and throws his arrows among bis adversa
ries “ thick and last,” “ killing bore, and wounding
liters.” In retorting upon tha Globe the charge oi
being mercenary, the Enquirer my*—
“ The very mode io which the Globe was establish
ed, is characteristic of the man who conduct it. It is
welt known here, at least, that Mr. Blair came to this
city with orders to tha office-holder* to raise the ne
cessary funds tor purchasing a Napier Press—It is
well known that those office-holder* whose situmions
*re most lucrative, wore assembled together at the
Beak Coffee House corner of Piue aad Wm. streets
—that there Blair come before them with bia endorse
menisTtom Washington, and modestly requested them
to give him two thodsasd hollars to purchase a
Napier Press, aad a few hundred for other purposes!
It is also well known that his rcqaect was complied
with, and that every person present was assessed twt
hundred dollars of their ofice salary, to sustain the Of
feud Press at Washington ! Yet this Pres*, thus es
tablishtd and supported by the People’s money thro1
the ofifeo-hoMevs and executive patronage—edited at
it is by unprincipled and ungrateful mercenaries—darei

“ A Mm band captain Mi« was he,
Offaqpai Lttn'naa Iowa.” Cswptf.
Ma. Editor,
I am om of tboM guileless, harmless little bodice,'
against whom (though iunoceat as a child) the world
lias takes aa aaaccoantable prejudice. Why, 1 know i
not: My soul is harmony itself; f employ the whole I
' night long in singing restless mortals to repose, and my j
wants are the simplest imaginable; all I want is a lit- j
tie of that superfluous red fluid which men consider {
the cause ol so many evils—plethoras, inflammations,
levers, bad passions, and chimeras dire. Yet, for in
dulging in this natural appetite, they treat me as a rob
ber, execute ms- as a malefactor, and brand my repn-1
union with all the epithets which malice or passion !
can suggest. But, sir, 1 will not fatigue you with a,
recital of aly wrongs, numerous and unmerited as
they are. My purpose is merely to shew that men
play still more “ fantastic tricks,” than even those in
which they exhibit llieir enmity to my unfortunate
race. 11 chanced that, while paying my evening salu
tations, I heard little Dickey say, “ To-morrow is
training—an’t you glad 7"—for, you know tittle boyfl
have a sympathetic as well as instinctive knowledge of
that glorious anniversary. Now, this was joyful news
to me, for sock occasion* «re harvests loour race. To
be present, therefore', 1 resolved, nnd after spending
the night in soothing the slumbers of the family, I was
earliest on the |Mirade ground. The dny was ushered
in with no common solemnities, for in the East I be
held one of those wild, fierce, and mysterious bodies,
which from age to age have so puzxled the brains of
Astronomers, and still,
-“ On nations shed disastrous twilight,
And with fear of change, perplexes mounrehs.” (
The melancholy drapery of night was slowly rolled
aivay, and, the damps ascended in fleecy clouds. 1
watched from my station—the dry side of an ehn lenf
—the light gently dawning in (he east, nnd slar after |
star disappearing ip the blue depths of the sky. Now!
and then, a bird commenced his song, and at last, a1
full, broad blaze spread over water, hind, and heaven.
But, soon nil llieir minor beauliee were eclipsed by
the greater effulgence of that sublime animal—man;
for then began the wonders of training day. First
came the hum of boy*—types of llieir magnificent fa
thers—with wooden swords nnd tin drum.; then ike
martial sounds of horn, and fife, nnd at Iasi, the tink
ling cymbal and rolling drum. A herd of sambos and
urchins began to gather round huge piles of meloiit1
and gingerbread. *• By Gosh, says one, sliau’l we
hav# fun 7” I, who was a stranger to such affairs,
thought only of a Review of the Imperial Guard in
ill* Champ de Mar*. Now, thinke I, we slntfl see a
specimen of the “ Vainquers de vainquers du tnnnde,”
for these are the days of the “ Hero of two wars ami
forty frays.” The glorious array approaches—Inin
acra uying—music, oee I lie conqueringhero comes.
—It has passed. The brilliant nneuiblage has dis
appeared, and the departing beams of the setting sun
remind me that ray avocations for the night must com
mence. Well, what did you see T What tea* it T I
will tell yon. Be not astonished. Tremble not at the
details. I inspected the whole composedly aad phi
losophical)). First there appeared a company in red
and blue, who, from their halting gait, worn garments,
and rusty gnns, I took to lie the remnant of some vet
eran corps, who are probably now enjoying the hon
or* won in former campaigns. 1 have, however, beard
from my friend little Dickey that they are familiarly
known as the “ Gingerbread Company.” Wliat the
origin of this singular appellation is, I cannot discern;
pcrhnps yon can inform us.* I observed that they
sought, probably from age aud modesty, the most sha
dy nnd tetirsd spots, ai d seemed to decline the hon
ors intended them. They were preceded by one big
drum, two little ones, nnd two fifee, nnd were succeed
ed by seven boys and two darkies. These latter were,
I observed, more or lees, in attendance upon nil the
“ Corps tie Armee,” and were, I sup|iose, foraging
parties intended to keep up the line of communication
with the depots of supply—the aforementioned melons
andgingerbresd. Next appeared a glittering compa
ny in blue and silver, white plumes with red hqis, stur
dy gait, and dignified air, who, I knew, were the elite
of the army. Upon these I gazed with unmingled sal
isfaction; nor was I alone, for this company was at
tended by at least three men, eleven boys, and five dar
kies. They also had big drum, little drum, and fife.
Then cam* njNrorg body, whom they ended riflemen.
Their propensity to rijte—the depots, was unquestion
able. They were dressed in Lincoln green, fringed
with gold, and bail the usual accompaniments of big
drum, little drum, fife, triangle, boy and darkey.—
These two last com|Minies performed an evolution,
which for some time I could not account for. It was I
something like this: One company marched in one:
line, nod III* other at right angles to it, till they met,
and seemed very like kitting, then one wheeled one j
way, and the other coontermarelied ami moved paral- {
lei. After considering this for some time, I thought I
found the clue. They were doubtless, ss. it is a time,
of profound peace, practising their initiatory exercises ]
in ilie new contra dance, introduced by the Reform
AduunistratiM, vis: chattee one side, chattee the eth- .
er, right uffjp'ft, change partners nnd balance. Last
of all came a shining corps, whom some call Light
Homo, nnd little Dickey says, are lb^?k-Drag—oas,
bat I think would flourish most in the Character of
Ihsttart. These had for music twa hams, and one io
strument—unknown, and numbered eon captain, one
lientaaant, one cornet, & 11 privates; one black horse,
eight boys, and four white ones. The beautiful man
ner in which this cavalry corps curvetted could only
lie equalled by the aforesaid contra dance. But, what
wj wvumbhwwm* "■»■■■
MTcnteen animals were made to fill, for wbee the
Captain had emerged from the end of eee long street,
the rear guard—'pon honor, ’lie tree—lied scarcely
entered the other: It was like nothing hat the greet
Comet of ’59—(this littlo follow is e Den bite to it)
whose tail had hardly risen in the East when the star
bad set in the West. (By (be way, it will come agnin
* We knew little about it—bet have heard its origin
described something like this:—Once on a time the
Regiment, of which this redoubtable company forms a
material part, wee ordered into a neighboring town to
trmimmg. While there, (there being only one taeors
in the place,) thie company engaged dinner; bet not
i being dismissed from parade so soon as some others,
ea repairing le the tavern found every thing they bed
bespoken ne devoured. Upon this the captain form
ed hie company—it was better disciplined in former
days (bee it heeheen for some years pttf, or it weald
here been impracticable—into what is called e hoUmo
tOfomrr, stacked their gua* and surrounding a pedlar’s
■waggon, (in these day* bovatdally supplied with cake
and cherry-bounce,) distributed to each men e large
old fashioned card of giogrrbread for his dinner.—
r Hence to this day this “ veteran corps” baa jrorne the
cognomen of * Giogtrbrtad Cfoqsmry.”—E».
lS33.)-But, did yon wwm » ntUuary election 7
No T then go. It beats old Kwrimk all Ik>IIow. There i
ia no “ knock down and drag net.” But, then the i
thing is to genteel. Says the gallant commander, “Gen- i
lletuen”—(just then I made n descent upoethe end of <
bis proboscis)-—“ blast tbe nmsquetoe—are will pro- t
eeed to the choice of a sergeant. Some gentleman— t
(hern I made another descent)—‘■darn the rascal,”— <
“ Can’t, sir/' say* the corporal—“ got no needles.”—
“Silence I say, no impertinence; some gentleman i
will please to nominate.” “ I nominate PeteV Pepper-. <
jacket,” says Dusty Bob. “ Won’t have it, by gosh,”
says Peter, “I II be darned if I do." “I nominate l
Bill Buiterwortli,” says another: “All who are in i
CnvcNr of this nomination, ahake tlieir feathers,” any*
the captain—a universal shake.—” The election is I
made; and now, gentlemen, I have to return yeti my
acknowledgments lor your courteous ns well as valiant
behaviour during all the difficulties nod dangers of this
•arduous day.”
I did not observe any cnm|mnies in the revolutiona
ry uniform which the President has directed the Ar
HU0 assume, and which 1 suppose—as lie has already
PP^med us in resect to the Bank Veto—formed a
|«rf ol his patriotic meditations on the 4th of July.—
From the absence of it, 1 conclude, (as straws, &c.
t&c.) these worthy veterans do not intend to support
the Hero—a circumstance which I most deeply re
gret, as from the very instinct ol my nature—Ireing a
fondness for whatever is pure and clean—I have a
high regard for Ilia reputation.
As the day closed, I thought I would not quit the
scene ol action, without paying a visit to tire*1 Pewter
Mug,” where I knew some of the company wonld be
assembled in a comfortable converzatione. Here the
r,,RRe<I brow of war was relaxed by the smiles of peace.
Song and laughter went round fill you would have
thought the worthy soldiers had never suffered the
privations of a campaign, or heard the whistling of a
bullet. The illustrious Captain Bearskin, as be re
clined on Itis chair und relaxed his muscles io the gen
tle tones of Pompey’s fiddle, could be compared to
nothing but Alexander melting before tbe harp of Ti
molheus. At length the song censed, ami tbe cap
tain jumping up, cried “ I knock down Dusty Bob for
n song or a story.” Whereupon Bob, with the utmost
modesty poured forth the following strain:
Merry iq the soldier’s life,
Happy he who fears no strife.
Trumpets blowing—banners flying—
Buys a staring—girls a dying—
All for love and soldiery.
Love and glory is the cry.
Bright is honor—pure is fame,
Who can dim the Hero's name t
Fame and honor is the glory
Of our country nod its story.
Here’s to love nod soldiery,
Love and glory is the cry.
