The l»tf« of Iowa provide for ft regular meeting of each school district in the Stata on Mundiij, the first laj of October. At that meeting it is made the duty of the board of dirootors by section 1146 of the Code, to prcnent afnll stu'.ement of the receipts and expenditure* of the district and any other matters that mty be dcetne-l important. At that meeting the qualified electors of the dis trict litre power ti determine witat schools shall by established, what branches of term ing taught, to lay a tax for building and re pairing school house*, for procuring libra ries, and for all other contingent expenses of the district, nnd to transact generally such business as may tend to promote the iuse of educitiiiu in accorditnoe with the statute. It is a happy feature of our government that calls the people twice a year, to assem ble in their several districts, and deliberate and ant upon the great subject of education But we fear thut this privilege is underual ucd and neglected by many citizens. We beg to urge upon every elector in the State his duty to attend the next school meeting, nnd every school meeting, in his district and to give his influence and vote in favor of good school houses and of having the grounds well fcnced and ornamented with trees, and in favor of employing only good teachers and paying them good wages, ond of having a liberal and thorough course of study pur sued. Why should.not the whole State of Iowa be furnished with good schools? We have abundant resources. But Kchools will flourish only as they receive i he fostering care and attention of every good citizen. No one then should feel himself exempt from responsibility in their behalf In some districts, the Directors have been jrelict in not making their reports. Such delinquincies are unpardonable. Every di rector is solemnly sworn for the faithful per formance of his duty. No district should allow a palpuble violation of official trust. In some districts the teachers fund bus been used to defray contingent expenses. Tiiis is a gross perversi n, and is expressly forbid den by law. That 1 nnd is niited, nnd is sa cred to the payment of teachers wnges, which nt the best are altogether too low. Let every citizen sc to it that ail mistakos and abuses which may have existed are corrected, and that tioud schools are kept up and supported for all our rising youth. The Keokuk public schools were opened on the ird of September the Whig of that city says of them. The Board of Directors are entitled to the gratitude of the community for the.prompt ness energy and faithfulness manifested by them in their efforts to complete the school building, settle up the affairs of the district, and organize a competent corps of teachers for our public schools. The Directors have performed th' ir part, the building put in or der, the affairs of the disiriet put in a fair trim for settlement, teachers employed, and everv other necessary arranse.ment ide for opening the school under the most favorable auspices. It now only remains for the pa rents to do their part in order to have one of the largest and best schools in the State. We trust therefore that those who have children to send to school will send them at once, that our entire }uvoni!epopulation may be classified and put to their studies in due time, according to the grade of thf ir several attainments, in order to seeuro regularity in attendance it will be seen from the card issued ender the authority of the Directors, that absence t.vo halfdays in tiny one week forfeit a pupils place in the school. ,, The Principal of the school, Mr. Kimball, is n very competent and successful teacher, and uii'ier his charge, we doub" not that the youth of Keokuk may all obtain a first rate education in our public school, provided only that their parents w ill do their duty in sending them regularly nnd punclually. THE SUNDAY SCHOOL EXCURSION of the First Baptist Church came off yester day and is reported as a magnificent affair. Notwithstanding the heavy raiu of the morning, the young folks began to gather as soon as the storm ceased, aud at 9£ A. M., the steamer, Jo Gales left her landing, and after short hours pleusant sail, arriv ed at .Drew's. The ttfter part of the day was exceedingly fair and the pr^paratii us at the grounds were found to be most am ple. Scats,and tables, aud stauds had all been previously arranged under the super intcuilcucc of a coiuniittoc, and nothing was lacking to make the occasion one of memorable interest. The openiug reli_ ious exercises were coudueted by Rev. Mr. Johnson the pastor-of the church, after which the company enjoyt an hour of free swing aud rainble. Thcu came on the diutier, rich aud abuudant, theu fol lowed seutimeuts and addresses. Next confectionary. Then a general sociable procession to the boat. Return. Over five hundred tickets were gathered up, and probably more still were iu attendance.

The remnant of a {arty, which has Ev erywhere been discarded and became a by word on account of its treachery and dis honc.ty, h-ts seen in every woid uttered against vice.aud immorality, its owu con demnation. It has dei ounced the min istry of the United States as a "political priesthood," because they have thought it their duty to preach agaiust Intemperance and vice geuerally, and inculcate the doc trines of the Bible Shortly after our late electiou the poor, pitiful paid organ of Franklin Pierce, which scatters its drivel ling nonsense among the People of Des Moines county, called the Inwa State Ga zette, denoun.-ed the ministry of this city, State aud country,in the most abusive lan guage known to its vocabulary, as Know nothings in disguise, who were employing themselves in preaching political sermons. At the time this wholesale condemnation of the ministry was in the course of publi cation, it was given out, whispered about the streets, that the whole was drawn out for the beuetit of Rev. C. 1\ Jennings. The matter was made so pointed, that this gentleman sent a note to the Gazette, stat ing in polite and courteous terms that he had never preached any political sermons, and iu all the discourses which he had preached, had made no particular applica tion of the subject to the political parties or questions of the day. This was a stump er, and completely took the wind out of their sails. They had eilherto admit that they considered preaching, after the man ner of St. Paul, of temperance righteous ness and judgment to coiuc, political preaching, or crawl out of it with the least that could be said. This latter (hey did. We hoard nomorcof the matter until Tues day morutng. when the opportunity was taken on the occasion of noticing the ded ication of the New Methodist Church to attack Rev. Mr. Cowles. The attack ^jis not made after the manner of honorable warfare, openly and above board, but in the Iago style—by saying a little and in sinuating a great deal. It was made too, just at tiic moment the Rev gentleman leaves us, after laboriugtwo years with us the result of which is a largely incrca?cd aud increasing church and congregation, a church edifice, the largest and finest in the State, and which will stand long af ter the Gazette audits iuiquities shall have been buried in forgetfulness, and its mas ters only rccollectcd for their vices. We will not slander Mr. Cowles by supposing he needs any defence against such dirty drivellers. He is au earnest straightfor ward man who will live down all such accus ers. Wc only refer to the matter at all, to give our readers who do uot see it an inkiing of what the duties of an Adminis tration'Journal are, under Franklin the First. Th} Fruit Exhibition. The exhibition of Kru''s at the Fruit ow ers Annual Martins which commenced its ses sion yesterday, was such as to do great credit to the exhibitors. Although the fruils were not nil put up that had been received and more was expected by this evening's train, there was •Imost every seasonable variety, and many as fine specimens as ever were exh bi'ed any where We think we may safely say ihat our Iowa fruits -vill not suffer by a comparison w th Eastern specimens and we may leave our Eastern friends to tell the story themselves. Specimens we saw on exhibition from Roch es'er, Syracuse, Buffalo and other places Essl, from Qtnncy, Peotia, Rock Island, Hannibal, and from Davenport, Muscaline, De- mark, aud a good toany other points in our State, 'o say nothing of Burlington, which was well represented. The room is beautifully and tastefully deco rated with flowers and evergreens by Mr. Mar.' under the direction of the Committee of Ar rangement The rooms wil be opened for geaeraLl. exbibi tiou to day, we believe. DEATH or SINGLKTO.V MKSCEB—Mr. Sin gleton Mercer, who some twelve yeara ago killed a man in Philadelphia, by the name of Heberton, f.r the seduction of his sister, died of yellow fever at the United States Marine Hospital at Portsmouth, Va. Mr. Mercer volunteered on the 22d of Aug.—immediate ly repaired to Portsmouth, aud before he started observed that "it was a duty which man owed to his feliow-manto assist iu the time of pestil-noe." Mr. M. labored faith fully as a nurse, and was highly efficient. WILL THEY DO IT.—It is about time the locofoco party- in Iowa, if there is any, were showing some kind of front. At the Spring elections they endorsed Pierce and Nebraska and were defeated. In August, they rau for office, scorning any avowal of principle and were again defeated. They are now soon to hold a State Convention at Ft. Des Moines—Oct. 17—at which they must it seems to us, show some kind of front. There will be some dodging, some grand aud lofty tumbling, slight of hand and tricks of legerdemain worthy of Mons. Adrieu himself.

The maiu object of the address, remarks the Gate City, is evidently to justify the action of the Missouri marauders in Kan sas, by misrepresenting aud villifying the Massachusetts emigrants who settled there under the auspices of the "Aid Socicty." The address represents that there are fifty thousand Missouri slaves iu the Soc tiou immediately bordering Kansas, and' that consequoutly Missouriaus have a deep interest that Kansas should become aslavo State. The address though mild in language, is calculated to stir up a more desperate enthusiasm in behalf of slavery aggression in Kansas, than anything said or done by the Striugfellow gang up to the present time. It closes with the proposition that the refusal to admit Kansas as a slave State would be regarded as a virtual dissolution of the Union. That is Southern logic and Southern policy all the time. Any attempt on the part pf the great majority of the United States to resist Southern agressions and right the wrongs inflicted upon the North, is characterized as abolition and treason, aud disuuioned as the sovereign,immediate and rightful remedy, and then the North truckles to the ''superior race" as abjectly as their own slaves, and many of the doughfaces glory in their shame.
