LLIGENCE. Tzacners’ Association —We gave on Satur- day & list of the officers elected by the Teachers? Association at their meeting on Saturday. The roceed ings atterward were of considerable inter- boy "The newly elected President—Mr. O. C. Wight—in taking the chair, expressed his hope, by zealous attention to the duties of hisoifice, to justify the honor conferred upon him He hoped the meetings of the Association would be con- ducted in an earnest, vigorous manner, and that @ spirit of good will and unanimity would con- tinue, as heretofore, to actuate the members in all their endeavors to promote the common interests of the parents, teachers, pupils and the whole blic. var. Lomis moved to change the time of the monthly meetings of the Association from the last Saturday in each month to the first Satur stating that the teachers would generally p' this arra: t = more — ent in many re- spects for the meeting; carried. FOn motion of A.C” Richards, the hour of the regular meetings of the Association was changed from 11 to 10 o&lock, 2. m., and the meetings to continne for two hours. Mr. Z. Richards being called Eee, proceeded to give an interesting account of his attendance at various educational conventions lately held at the North. On leaving this city, he had Ppro- ceeded to Albany, New York, where he visited the National Association for the Education of the Young; from thence he proceeded to Montreal, where he had passed five days most ayreeably in attending the meeti of the American Scientific Association. From Montreal he had proceeded to Manchester, N. H., where was being held the Convention of the American Institute,and where he bad met teachers from all parts of the Union. He had attended the meetings of this Association before, and had always found them profitable and pleasant. There were present at the meetings of this Convention upward of seven hundred teach- ers, male and female; and at their lectures the building would not contain the numbers who flocked to the spot. Sutlice it to say, that this Association was accomplishing a g amount of good; the lectures were mostly of a practical character, and calculated to benefit all who at- tended the meetings. From Manchester he had come to Philadelphia, to attend a convention which had been called to discuss the propriety of organizing a new National Teachers’ Association. ‘bis association was designed to be composed of teachers entirely, and candidates for member- ship would be required to go through a regular examination similar to that of a law or medical stud It would be composed of active mem- bers from other associations in the various States of the Union, and be entirely national in its char- acter. In this way it was thought to bring the teachers all over the ape together to unite in working for the benefit and improvement of the school s: all over the United States. The new association did not expect to accomplish this great end in the start, but hy in a few years to effect such aresult. They did not look for the immediate popularity of such an institution, but the impression Was universal that such an associ- ation was required and demanded. One necessity for such an association was that other associations in the various States claiming to be national have not proved tobeso. The association at Manches- ter, N. H., was the only one that had ever met out of their own town. and that one only on one occasion. It had held its sessions about four years in Troy, but it had never travelled south of Mason and Dixon’s line. ‘They felt that @ national association must be formed. embracing every section of the country; and it had been formed on that broad principle, and its olticers had been chosen with special reference to its ul- timate accomplishment of that end. The asso- elation was organized, and a Gonstitution had been adopted which would be published soon and sent to the various teachers throughout the country. At that Convention a lecture was read by Prof. Russell, which was full of important matter in connection with this subject. his was all that was done except the ordinary business matters at- tendant on the organization of such an associa- tion. Mr. Richards stated that the next meeting of that association would be held next summer, at Cincinnati, and recommended the sending from this association delegates, to represent us in their next convention. He alluded to his having spo- ken before that convention in behalf of the Pub- lie Schools of Washington, and said that he had endeavored in that s h, to awaken in the minds of those teachers who might have friends among those who are chosen to represent the va- rious States in Congrees, an interest in belalf of the Public Schools of ourcity, which should lead to an appropriation or some provision for school- houses proper to receive the children over wuom the teachers had jurisdiction. He said that in the course of his remarks at the Philadelphia Convention he did not make use of the word pauper in reference to our public schoolx; that be was not aware of the existence anywhere of corporation schools for the exclusive benefit of paupers. What he said was, that many of our citizens looked upon our public schools as de- signed exclnsively for the poorer and more un- fashionable classes of our citizens, and he now repeated this to be the case; that this impression Was caused, in a great measure, by the poor houses provided by the proper authorities for the accommodation of our public schools ; that what be had said about the stable of Thomas Jetfersou being now used fora schoul Louse, ina searcely superior condition for scholastic pursnits than when inhabited by the restless steeds of the illus- trious statesman, was none the less true for bei found fault with, and that a remedy of the t would be more desirable than the suppression of @ true statement uttered for pablic benetit. Ca motion of Mr. A. C. Richards, it was Resoterd. That the C an Teachers’ Asso- ciation approve of the organization of the National Teachers” Association, lately convened in Phila- delpbia, and that we will co-operate with said association. Mr. J. E. Thompson made some very pertinent remards on the bad condition of the rooms used as school houses by the Corporation. He alluded to some of them which were stated to be in a con- dition not fit for stables, and koped it would not be otten that a buildiag was now used for a school house, in this city, which was once Jetfer- son's stable fer horses Mr. Thompson also proposed the adoption of a rule governing the debates before the association, and with regard to esxays, which be said had seemed to be somewhat neglected—several essays being due from different members already. He bo; the Chalr would enforce the rule. r. Loomis made some remarks to the same effect On motion of Mr. Z Richards, it was Kesolved, That a committee of three be ap- Pointed by the chair to consider the propriety of calling a convention of the friends of education in this city, Baltimore, Alexandria, and the adjoin- ing towns. Resolved, That said committee be authorized to call a meeting of this association, and the friends of education generally, to consider any plan they may suggest in accordance with the above resolution. ‘The Chair appointed on this committee Messrs. Z. Richards, pom and Loomis After which the meeting adjourned. Row at Macez Tows —Last night, the aux- iliary guards stationed in the western beats, with the police of the first and third districts, went to that delectable » in the First Ward known as Magee town, on business, and called at the house of acolored man named William Butler, and de- mauded adinission. lLustead of complying, But- ler threatened to shoot them, and beliaved out- Tageously. One of the guards went to the door, aud as soon as he reached it a fierce bull dog was tet loose upon him, which was shot by Otficer Ross. The inmates of the house, armed with axes, hatchets, a double-barrelled pistol, and clubs, began a general attack on the olticers, and & desperate fight ensued, in which several of the Officers were struck and slightly injured The ers succeeded in taking four of the gang, and were this morning disposed of at the western th hoc up by Justice Drury. The bloody appear- ' ance of the parties this morning. and the weapons iu the trial room, was proof positive that the fight was desperate. Others concerned are yet to be arrested Younes C joLic’s Frignp Soctgry. —At the late meeting of this society the following officers were elected to serve during the ensuing year: President, C. S.

It is ce:taluly well attended to by those in charge, and the quiet, orderly manner in which business is couducted there, is creditable to that section of .be city. The improvement of the streets leading to the Market, which are now nearly completed, will add much to the convent- ence of citizens of that ward. Beat THEM WHO cax'—We are indebted to Col.

There is a rumor that her tim- bers are rotten, and that she will have to be fur- ther repaited before resuming her regular trips. Brig Mary Cobb arrived at the western wharves on Friday last, towed by the steamtug Guy. She brought granite for the Treasury Extension.

A Seizcre —Saturday evening, Officer Watson was directed to take a position near the Tiber Creek, below Hoover's slaughter house, in the prettier of the fourth district, and disperse the crowd of young men and beys who go there to bathe, and are frequently guilty of gross viola- tions of law and decency. e sreordingty took Lis post out of sight. and a number of oungsters stripped and plunged into the water. ‘The otticer made his Ss eset and there was a general scattering of the bathers. He seized upon the clothing and carried it to the City Hall, where it will await the Vetere orders of the owners. The discomfitted bathers are said to have pre- sented a striking tableaux, as they sneaked home after dusk ; in fact, affording a capital | pioatir a cation of the much talked of episode of city life styled ‘* Nothing to Wear.’* Ma. F. GLenRoy, whose abilities as a teacher of voeal music have been abundantly demonstra- ted by the performances of the Fourth District Public Schools at the Smithsonian Institution, is, our readers will see, about to open classes for the season : To-morrow night at the Sixth Presbyte- rian church, Isiand, and on Thursday night at the lecture room of the Baptist church, Tenth st.

Doubtless the scenes which transpired in our city yesterday will be sufficient to admonish our city fathers of the importance of a speedy and thorough reorganization of our police system, and an increase in the police force. It must be ob- vious to every individual in the town that two poe officers, we care not how vigilant they may ', are wholly inadequate to the performance of the daties necessary to the maintenance of good order, especiaily on the Sabbath day, so lonz as almost every street in the town is provided with one or more places where reckless persons can be supplied with that which steals away their reason and converts them into semi-demons ir- respective of the character of the day, the de- mands of the law or the claims of decency. From reports which we gather from the cap- tains of vessels lying along the lumber yard wharves, the scenes which transpired in that lo- cality yesterday, to use a common expression, were decidedly rich ; so much so, that oue of the pc pe ey assured us that, if his business com- pelled him to lie over at these wharves again on Sunday. that he should prefer getting a permit to spend the time at the Corporetion farm, in pre- ference to remaining on board his vessel. 'During the principal part of the day, the luniber yards, and a parcel of fishing shallops lying about them, were infested with face of lawless characters, playing cards, drinking, swearing, and fighting, while swarms of others, e nally regardless of t! peace and sanctity of the Sabbath day, might be seen in alinost every direction, with gun in hand, en route to the island, on hunting expeditions. On Water street, near the bridge, a most dis- raceful fight occurred between an individual rom the First Ward, Washington, and others of our city, in which knives were used as weil as fists. All bands, we learn, got a considerable quantity of what Paddy gave the drum, especial- ly the individual from Washington, whose face was pretty well bruised, bettered and scratched, and one of his hands Craarries 4 cut witha knife used in the conflict After the fight was over the individual from the First Ward went to his home, but soon returned with a large party of his friends, and pretty thoroughly searched ‘the lower portion of the town for the individuals who had drubbed him. He failed, however, to ascer- tain their whereabouts, and had to return home with a sound drubbing as the result of his Sab bath expedition. Further up town, on Bridve street, an indi- vidual by the name of Sullivan, who had been indulging rather too freely in bad whisky, armed himself, and went on a gunning expedition, for nobody in particular. He took position opposite a boarding house, and fired directly at the door, where a parcel of persons were standing, which caused considerable alarm and scampering among them. No one was hurt, however, the c arge of shot taking effect in the wall of the house. He was finally arrested by Officer Gross and lodged in the watch house. Such scenes as we have before described have been transpiring in ourcity at intervals for several years past, and we regard, them as the results of the insufficiency of the police force, and the want of more stringent and specific laws regulating the sale of intoxicating liquors. With our present experience we do not think it a difficult matter to provide laws in each case which would to some extent, if not altogether doaway with these evils. An old gentleman by the name of Collins, who came from Delaware a few months since and set- tled in the First Ward, near the ee brewery, left his home on Tuesday morning last, before any of his family were up, since which time nothing has been heard of lin As he had become somewhat intemperate in his habits fears are entertained that some accident has Lappened tohim. His wife and children returned home to their friends in Delaware on riabreaan & The Highlanders of your city left this morning for the Great Falls on a pleasure excursion, ac- companied by a large number of friends. The: were conveyed up the canal on two boats, own by Capt. Moore and Mr. Thecker. The only arrivals since our last were the sehr. Statesman, Rouark, Salisbury, with lumber, to Simmes ; and packet Ring Dove, Donoho. Phila- deiphia, to Hyde & Davidson, with about 70 tons of merchandise for the two cities. Ss.
