A FLIGHT FROM STAIN. ToQ Editor of Vie State Journal: .' Sib: The rigorous measures taken by the Cabinet Narvoci agaiust the one hundred and twenty-throe deputies of the Cortes who in oionod thft nrotest. blaming the conduct , ' ' MJy ' of the Minister, has determined many of them to take their flight from the Spanish capital, in order that they may not be exposed to ar rest! Several of these have already ' arrived In Paris, and others have repaired to Bor doaux and Toulon, there to await the course f events. The Spanish question is now c-enpying the attention of the French public. The Roman question is not yet settled. t NEWS FROM ROME. Our Roman correspondent writes us that Count Sartiges, the French Ambassador at Rome, has received, at an audience, the offl; oers of the Antibcs Legion. In replying to Colonel Argy, who had spoken of the devotion of the Legion to the Emperor, thcCoant said that the French Government continued to regard as the sons of France thoso who, animated by a sentiment of devotedness towards the Holy See, had come to lend their support to the venerable head of Catholicity; but that he hoped their aid would be simply a moral one, for the eminently angelic and conciliatory spirit of the Holy Father was the most desirable and the surest guarantee of the Papacy. A person present states that j the emphatic tone in which M. dc Sartiges 1 uttered the concluding phrase was received with entire concurrence by nearly all who heard it The negotiations with' which Sig-or Tonelll was charged seem now to have terminated. As far as can be ascertained, the religions have been regulated by common accord. The Pope has been prevailed upon, by the declarations made by Baron Ricasoli, In the letter to the Neapolitan Bishops still residing i Rome. According to these declarations, in virtue of the common law, to aorainate prelates di rectly to the vacant dioceses without waiting the presentation or proposal, on the part ' of the Government, of persons for appointment; and also to send Into possession of their Sees the Bishops so nominated, without tho .Government requiring them them the acceptance of the Royal placet or oath. With respect to this question, the Italian Government is in accord with that of the Vatican. t TTIB FRENCH F-XPEDrilON IN COUEA. The French Minister of Marine and tho Colonics has received from Rear-Admiral Roze, commanding the naval division in the W Chinese seas, dispatches of the 17th Novem ber. After the occupation of Kan-hoa by the forces landed from the ships, the Admiral es tabllshed himself in a strongly fortified position, taking care to scour . the environs and explore the opposite banks of the Corcan pe ninsnla, destroying all the funks he found in the canal. In one of these expeditions the long-boat of the Cuerrlere, at the moment it was approaching the side, was received by point, blonlt discharge of musketry, which killed three sailors ; tlie men jumped on shore, dislodged the Coreans, who were hidden in the bushes, and led by Midshipman Chalet pat thorn to flight, after kill Ing some of them The Admiral, wishing to assure himself of the state of the country, sent out a detachment under the command of Captain Olllvlcr, who, a few kilometres from Kanz-hoa, found the Coreans in great numlcrs retrenched in fortified pajodle. The enemy at first made sortie, but was repulsed, and retired, lcaviu, hia dead. " " After a sharp fusiladc, in which one Frenchman was killed and some wounded, the column returned the same night to Kanz-hoa. . . A few days after, the Admiral seeing that the Couan government did not follow up Ihe overtures, as he had expected on receiving a letter, from the King, decided on leaving. The approach of winter, moreover. H keglnulng to be felt, he feared besides that f) the navigation of the Salle might soon be In terrupted. The Admiral ordored tho de struction of the government establishments and the ' King' . palfictj and fjhajwUors returned on board. Boxes containing ingots of silver to the valuc-of 197,000 francs, some manuscripts, and books of scientific Interest have been sent to Shanghai, to bo forwarded to France.

The attitude newly assumed by the cabiaet of the Tuleries is said to be partly due to an understanding, or at least to an exchange of communications which have already taken place between France and several for eign governments; and principally with that of St. Petersburg. ' That which It Is affirmed has equally contributed to render the Im pari- al cabinet more favorable to the wishes of the Christian population of Turkey, is the re solution come to by It to ascertain more thoroughly the real state of things in the East. It appears that the French agents in the Turkish dominions were for the most part led as much by their diplomatic education as by their antecedents to see matters In too favorable a light for the Ottoman Empire. It followed that the French Government which founded its own views on their reports, was in its turn Inclined to accord more confidence to the Turkish regime than it deserved.

Dear Journal : A trip from Logan down the Hocking Valley to this place, by means of a "coach and four," on such a day as this, is certainly enough to satisfy tie curiosity of any one. Think of it! Snow fourteen inch cs deep, and still it comes ; hills almost " snow ed under;" valleys filling up ; the mouths of the many coal banks on the route closed and being hid with ye snow; your conveyance on wheels rolling Itself slowly along. But what sight more magnificent than t look on these rugged hills, all mantled over in white, " the emblem of purity." We made twenty-six miles (distance from Logan to Athens) in ten hours, and did well at that. Who that trav els this route now, don't devoutly pray for the early completion of the Hocking Valley Railroad? SPUNKY BOY. While tho mail was being changed at the Furnace, five miles this side of Logan, I heard the particulars of a stabbing affray that shows what little regard is paid to either the rights or lives ,ofi others. --As tho chl'.dren were returning home from school, a lad sonic 16 years of age proposed to turn a hand spring, and proceeded to accomplish his part, first sitting his dinucr-bucket down by the side of the road, when a sleigh came along, driven by one Spencc, a rufllan,, having partner in the shape of a large fight in " cuss." As the sleigh ran over and smashed the boy's bucket, he remarked that It was tot very geutlemanly trick; whereupon the J,wo men jumped out of the sleigh and made at the boy to " whip him " for his " imperti nence." The boy drew his jack-knife and stabbed Spcnce in Uie breast, -laying him in the snow, the blood running freely. The other drew a knife and made at the bov. swearing he would cut out his livers," but as the boy stubbornly refused to give way, the big fellow concluded that, , ' ' "Who UghtB and ram away , ' ' M T lire to flght another day." So picking up his wounded comrade, seated him la his sleigh and hurriedly drove off, leaving the boy "master of the field."

Journal: Two boys, aged respect ively seventeen and eighteen years, applied at the residence of a farmer a short distance above town, a few nights since, for accommodations for the evening. They received permission to stay, and retired to rest. During the night a hired man heard a noise about the house, and proceeded to investi gate the cause of the same. It was explained by discovering the boys gathering up the different articles about the room, with the purpose of making off with them it a conve nient moment. Informing the man of the house of the situation of affaire, they to gether went to the scene of plunder, and showing their deadly weapons, compelled the would-be thieves to be seated, when Miey took their stands as faithful sentinels until the break of day, when they marched them to town and had them safely lodged in a stone building, known as the jail, where they remain awaiting trial. Sleighing, which has been so good for several weeks, now bids fair to be brought to a speedy close, on account of the rain The snow was eighteen Inches deep, and all concur in the opinion that such excellent sleighing has not been enjoyed here for a long time.

The County Superintendency was established in Pennsylvania In 1864. Previous to that time, teachers were examined by Mie Directors In each township, or, worse still, in some cases, by men employed by tho Directors for. that purpose. These examiners were often, in fact, most generally, men of very limited attainments, incapable and unfit for tkedaty. As a result, the cause of education languished; the schools were overrun with ' a class of teachers, who, unable to earn a living in any other occupation, considered themselves cml nently qualified to "keep school," and, through the influence of friends, were pensioned upon the people as teachers. The cause of educa tioi, especially in the rural districts, was at a very low ebb. Then came the County Superintendency. In accordance with the new law, the Directors were rt quired to meet in Convention in each county, to select some 'person qualified as to scholarship, and skilled In the "art of teaching," as Superintendent for throe years, and to fix his salary. The law met with the most bitter and unrelenting opposition In all parts of the State, but especially in the rural districts aforesaid. I commenced my first school In a county in the western part of the State, and was among the first examined by the new officer. The opposition in that county was bitter and determined.
