Dear Sir:— l am this morning m receipt of

in want of about fifty thousand for immiMiate

D»vr Sir:— We suppose you like good news,
pani -ulnrly when you are'mostly Interested.
W e have hut two bottles left of the" bnx of Balm
you sent us. You can draw at sight Air $
wiucli w« believe will be the amount, aftor de-1
dieting commission and expenses Wo will
think you to send to our friends, Messrs. • • •
of Richmond, by first conveyance, a double box,
which you will put at your wholesale price, for
which you can also draw oti us. It ha* failed
in two instances in this neighborhood, but one of
the persons that we have seen, thinks it wav
(with him) rheumatism, as he had the tooth
drawn, an 1 the pain still continued.
Several persons have used it, with defective
gums, or scurvy, nnd are so much delighted with
it, that we are charged to keep n supple. The
hlfds arc using it with the tooth-brush,’ and say
that it is the best thing for the teeth and gum's
they have ever used. We are glad, for the sake
of the sufferers, as well as on year account,
that this remedy is not only not of Northern or
igin, (from whence nil the pateat nootrunis
some,) but is a Virginia preparation, and by a
Virginian. Nor does it detract from it* efficacy,
on account of the place of its preparation, (Pe
tersburg.) once styled by Mr. Jefferson, the
“cockake of America.” It seems to os, that
all you now have to do, is to see to it, that yon
a supply sufficient for the demand—for if
it sjihelsjwhere a. it has done here, there will
ho no end to the demand. Several merchant*
ei tny acquaintance, mean to send for a box.
Allow us to congratulate you, and the public,
at the ,discovery and use of the only remedy (ex
«..pt drawing) for tooth-ache, that ha* yet been
discovered.
Respectfully roti nt,

it afforded immediate relief, and there has been

Ist. The Goveruuteut.as laras possible, will*
be luunUea ou me pupil’s sense oi right and
wrung, instead ui usuig corporeal punishment,
in cummou cases, those motives which are lo
operate iu alter lue will be thoroughly tried to
produce piupneiv oi conduct and industrious
application ; believing, as we do, with the dis
tinguished tehiiibiugii, that those principles
should govern youm which are to govern man
hood ; and they will ellectually no it witii a
proper action and co-operation of parents and
teachers.
2d. YV e are decidedly opposed to that mode
oi instruction winch gives a precocious devel- ■
opemeiuto the memory at the expense of the
judgment. This we believe io be a common.,
fault in nearly all our schools. It is so much,
more the teacher’s ease to give a portion of the
text book to be committed, and then listen to
its repetition, than to. lead the understanding,.,
step, from known to.unknown truths, that the
lormcr course is usually adopted. XV e conceive
that to be the only, efficient mode which makes
an equal demand on the memory and judgment
and these objects will be constantly kept m view..
3d. Although we propose lo ouiselves a sys
tent, we shall take care that it doesdot interfere
with what we owe to the different capacities of
pupils ; their previous advantages, powers of
apprehension, reasoning, &c. We shall not
adhere to an a priori theory, but take our in
dications empnically from the nature of the
case.
4th. Care will be taken to avoid every thing,
like technical unvaried ariangement,.which pro
duces on the mind the same eilect that monoto
nous sounds do on the animal spirits ; and tend
to lull the judgment asleep, 'i’he tliric? told!
tale may proceed mechanically from the lips of
the speaker equally deceiving the teacher and
pupil ; the mind being on the words, and die
idea convey ed by them passed over.—Routine
should be suspended, when it injures the process
of thinking. By departing Roni system in such
cases, ihe mind receives a concussion wl ieh is
salutary. The rule may be repeated, and we 1.
repeated, without the scholar’s annexing any
idea to it ; but the reason of the rule is what on.
all occasions should be required.
sth. We are fully persuaded, by' experi
ence of the great importance of frequently re
curring to wiiat lias been passed. We believe
itabsolutell necessary that the teacher have re
course to frequent repetiiion, judiciously varied ;
nothing fixes the fact so permaacutly. The
mind mast not be suffered passively to grope it*
way from one thing to another, only intent on
the present, and never reverting to the past.
The teacher must be satisfied by frequent ex
aminations, that thepunil lias retained what it
has passed over, and has formed some system
in its mind from past readings. Without this,
the scholar may nave gone through the book
and retain nut a vestige of what has been stu
died- We are tu bear in mind 100, that facts
•ire the materials of knowledge, or rather, that
these constitute knowledge,and we should there
fore, direct mis attention to these holding worlds"
as mere indices.
6th. The teacher must study the character,:
and habits of thought of bis pupils, dial lie may •
make tile most ot their individual peculiarities,
and know at what point to approiich their tin-,
derstandrng, and that lie may be enabled to
lead litem in a proper course, as far as possible,
by guiding their prevailing inclinatioifts.
7th Not the extent ei'ti e lesson, hot the
perfect understanding of it si ouid I e made ti:»
material point with the teacher. A few lines
well understood, will afl'erd more itourt-hing
food and invigorating aliment to the mind, than
h whole volume listlessly passed over- Over
come the vis nf.r’ha of a dull and sluggish in
tellect by making it grasp and perceive the
beauty of one idea, nnd you have done every’
thing. You have kindled a train,, which may
lead it (o the deepest sources of intellectual gra-,
