position has been assigned to bim, and met versa.

The lie of the Hod in Schools.
Mr. Editor —When I preeented yon with my
humble views on the Physical training of children
for publication, I little thought that my temerity
wou'.d involve me in a controversy on the use, or
rather the ab-uee, of the rod in schools—a theme
which cou and perhaps be better discussed by the
teacher ar.d bis pupils in tbe school room, than by
the teacher and your bumbfe servant at this remote
distance. But it seems, from two oorn-nunicatious
which have recently appeared in the Augusta Dis
patch, that a remark, casually made in regard to
imposing upon children at two early an age the se
vere discipline of tbe school room, has disturbed the ;
equinimity of some modem Icbabod, who had per
haps already been annoyed by the opinion which
he himself admits is on the increase, to wit: that
moral suasion ought in maDy instances to supplant
the rod.
In tbe passing notice, ae the gentleman has been
pleased to term it, which I gave the former of the
articles referred to, I deemed it necessary only to
oorrect what was supposed to be a misapprehen
sion of the idea I advanced. Bat from the obsti
nate determination of this writer to make a pener
all application of a remark which was intended
solely to refer to children, two young to endure the
fatigue of study and confinement, and from bis per
sistence in this obstinacy, after snob an explanation
as mu-t have relieved my language from every
thing like ambiguity, lam constrained to think
that the communication, above the start, must have
been intended for a class of persons nearer home
than a reply to anything which / may [have written.
Indeed, may not the gentleman be under obliga
tions for my incidental allusion to his indispensable
“ adjuncts” since it has supplied him with a matoh
and explosive material for the shell long before pre
pared, not for me, but for “ the increasing number
of suasionists” in his own vicinity.
I still insist that tbe language of the article, hon
ored by the gentleman's w.ticism, referring, as it
did, to a special class of pupils, was expressive of
no opinion, pro or oon, touching the use of the rod
in schools. And as to the charge which is preferred
agaius’ me of making innuendos or insinuations,
that the author of the criticism has not sense enough
to understand plain English, it ia freely gratuitions,
for I will readily concede, that the gentleman Irom
his fifteen years experience, as a practical teacher,
is much more fam lar with the rules of the lan
guage, more especially tbe principles of grammar,
than could reasonably be expected of one who has
for the same length cf time been engaged in quite
a different occupation, unless his pupils have been
of that infantile class alluded to iu the identical
passage which ello ted his criticism.
The writer, over the Stars, may consider my
opinion a rat or a mouse, as he may prefer, I shall
notwithstanding his commisseration for my position,
oontinue to maintain, that if children must be tent
to school before they learn to appreciate instruction
and before they are physically fit to endure the fa
tigue of study, they should be sent to those icho
know hose to govern without the rod. For a though
not a practical teacher myself, I have seen enough to
oonvince me that thousands thus prematurely forced
into schools to sit for eight or ten hours a day under
the terror of the rod, have been physically disquali
fied for the laborous duties [of life, and have en
quired at the same time such a disgust for books by
the time they were old enough to appreciate them,
as to form au insuperable barrief to their luture
success in any business requiring mental activity or
energy.
I repeat, that it is a source of gratulation that the
number of “suasionists,” entertaining opinions
similar to mine, is on the increase, for it is strongly
indica ive of an age or high physical and mental
progroes, and in my bumble opinion it will v< ry
much tend to counteract the degeneraoy in these
respects, bo manifest, when contrasting the yi ung
men of the present with those of a former genera
tion, when children were not forced to tchoo until
they had acquired sufficient vigor of bo ty and
mind, to resist the ennervating effects of study and
confinement. It may be to tie interest of practical
teachers to fill their school rooms with litt'e urchins,
regardless of oge, that tbe time of tbeii rodding and
pupilage may be prolonged, but there are few pa
rents who will be duped by sues argument, if they
will stop to consider the truth of tie adage, “A
sound mind in a sound body.”
As to tbe assumed air attributed to me in the
oloso of my last article, which eeems, according to
the gentleman's own admission, to have cut me off
entirely Irom the “justioe” whioh I courteously
asked, and in which I disclaimed any intention to
express any opinion as to pupils of a mature age,
I have only to say, that if asking for scriptural au
thority, for proof of tbe correctness of a position to
be established by soripture, be assumption, then his
imputat ion is j uet; but if not, the obarge must have
been prepared for the sole purpose of prejudicing
the reader against my v ews and in favor of his
owu. If there be any more assumption in this than
in his gratuitous attack upon an opinion whioh be
forces upon me, relating to all classes of pupils,
when according to his own quotation, I was writing
for the benefit of a class too young iu my judgment
to be pupils, much less “scholars, ’’ we must con
fess we are shamefully ignorant of the import of the
term. I can account for his being puzzled, but not
so readily lor his oeing amusul unless it was the
happy idea of lashing his constituents, perhaps,
over my shoulders—a charge which my little fellows
of.en bring against their teachers in language like
this : “He licked me cause he was mad with the big
boys.”
When the star correspondent summoned his phi
losophy to his Hid, ho ascribed to me ad vice which
I am very confident I never gave, aud which was
as foreign from my thoughts a- the sentiment which
1 am made to entertain, that all teachers can govern
without the rod. I certainly never advised that
scholars should be sent to school at all, but that
it little children must be sent, let them go to teach
ers who run govern without the rod, aud stilt pre
serve their “dignity.” How it is possible for the
gentleman to regard my expression as general and
unmod li.-d, when it is restricted very specifically
to pupils too young in my conception to go to
school, 1 cat not for the life of me imagine. And if
a physician should assert that very young children
should not take calomel, to employ the gentleman's
illustration, there would be no reason for infer
ring that he was opposed to the exhibition of that
meciciue to lersons ot a maturer age. Even “W.
S M ‘ won and not dream of such so idea, nor does
he think that even the starry correspondent would,
on a more careful review of his own illustration
Why, every old woman knows very well, that
certain medicines which cannot be administered to
young children with safety, may be given to adults,
not only with impunity, but advantage.
I have no objection to the gentleman’s taking
Solomon for his model so long as he will stick to
Solomon, but I have yet to learn that he, in his wis
dom, ever delegated any authority to use the rod on
the backs of little children, other than to their natu
ral guardians. Nor has the gentleman been able, as
yet, to tn’orm his leaders from what portion of
Solomon's wriiirgs be, as a practical school teacher,
obtains permission to exercise that sacred privilege.
I have thus, Mr. Editor, given to the gentleman's
Communication something more than a “passing
notice,” not because I considered any position of
mine controverted, but through oourtesy to him,
and to correct a misapprehension which his strict
ures m'ght possibly produce, iu respect to views ca
sus Py expressed by me, in the treatment of quite
a different topic, lie have indeed been in pursuit
of very different objtote ; he is doubtless after a set
ol troublesou e “old rats and mice” which bavebeeD
prowiiug around hie premises tor sometime past—
too smart to be caught napping—while I am trying
to prescribe a course of wholesome regimen for the
physical comfort of my little favoritee—the babies.

Tbe State University Bill.
This is its proper name, although a great Common
Sohool system is saddled upon it to bobby it through
the Legislature. We are in favor of Free Schools,
(that a.l may learn to read and write*) if cautiously
and judiciously inaugurated. but we never can
swallow this $4,000,000 scheme, for ocmmon school
education, because it is an attempt simply to feist
upon the people cf the State a mammoth College
that the majority of them will have no more use for
than they have for Oxford or Cambridge. Tbe bill
is intended to endow the State University, and
place it above all competition, and not to establish
Common Schools.
State Universities, as disconnected with denomi
national or religious induencee, have always pro
ven decided failures. The two great Universities
referred to are denominational as well as govern
mental, and so of Yale. Hatvard, the University of
Virginia, and almost every other institution in the
country that ever succeeded. The South Carolina
College never succeeded, because It was purely a
Slate University, one that ignored the “ sectarian’’
element altogether, insomuch that they were afraid
to have a minister of religion at the head of it The
people were justly afraid to send their sons to such
an institution, and always will be. Franklin Col
lege owes moch of its success to the fact, that it was
always under the management of Presidents and
Professors mainly of one denomination. And the
reason why it has not better succeeded of late years
is because that denomination has had an institution
of its own in the State.
The three leading denominations have each a
College of their own in Georgia, built up and sus
tained by the private munificence of at least three
fourths of the State. Now theee Coliegsa will still
be patronised by the people who built them up.—
What justice then is there in giving SOOO,OOO to
Franklin College for the benefit of one-fourth of the
people of Georgia, while thoee repreeentiug three
fourths, only receive the pitiful sum of $30,000 1 —
Tile three hundred students educated at F-mory,
Mercer and Oglethorpe, are to receive the benefit
of S3O 000 only, while the one hundred students
educated at the State University, par excellence,
receive $-.200,000. Tbe people who have to pay out
of their pockets for educating their eons at either
of the former Colleges, have to pay taxes to aid in
endowing aState University, where we may expect
empty benebee and well fed sinecures. _
Toe inequality of this bill might be made stilt ;
more apparent, when it appears that the denomina- |
tion that pays the heaviest tax into the State Treas
ury is, and has been, for a series of years, excluded
from the educa ional board of the State Institution,
and the one that pays the next largeet tax is. and
has been, but partially represented in the S’ate
Board. And the writer is apprised ot the fact, that
the injustice done one of these leading sects in this
thing, first originated under tbe aurpicee of Stephen
Olin, the idea of a denominational College, which
might free the members of his church from quasi
sectarian influences, under State patronage.

“ excellent” school, which, if words prove anything,
is a “ nonesuch’’ ia ail particulars. So far it is
well, ac indication to the vision of mature scope of
tbe inauguration of a bright era in the history of
woman s intellectual progress. But it is strange,
that iu spit* of the educational advantages they so
richly enjoy, comparatively few of cur female grad
uates are employed as teachers amongst us. A
young lady, often with much self-denial on her pa
rents’ pat t to meet necessary expenses, is sent to
one of these Colleges. During the prescribed course
of study she is instructed is all the “ alogies” and
“ologies,” in mathematics and languages; she
touches on belle-lettres, and brushes the circle of the
sciences. Peihape she adds music and drawing,
and then Bhe is thought accomplished. If a girl of
common capacity and application, she cannot help
laying up a store of knowledge in tbe course of her
scholastic career
This finished, she receives a diploma certifying
that ebe has attained to proficiency in the different
branches, and, if so, one might reasonably presume
her competent in her turn to teach others. In point
of fact, however, this is too seldom admitted. If a
vacancy occurs in any College, in the crowd of ap
plicants who invariably apply for the place, a
Northern iady is almoet sure to obtain the prefer
ence. Though they have received hat is called a
thorough edacat on in every respect, our graduates
are rejected for strangers whose recommendations
are only superior in that they date from New lork,
Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, or some other distant
State; in lieu of home-born, home-bred women, are
cboeen those who have no acquaintance with, or
sympathy for our sectional and social prejudicee.—
Os course we do not desire to have mediocrity ad
vanced merely because the person is a Southerner,
but we do maintain that, acqnhenents and other
qualifications being equal, our teachers should be
taken from our midst. We patronize home manu
factures, home inventions, home industry, why not
home instructresses ? They would prove no less
deserving or talented than their sisters of another
section of oountry. A few mornings since, glan
cing over a popular Northern paper, I noticed an
advertisement for eeven teachers, ladies, to go
South, two wanted for Alabama, and one, I think,
for Maryland, and so on.
In all tbe compass of these States are there no
women whose intellectual culture, moral worth, and
all rich ripe graces of perfect womanhood, fit them
to take obarge of their e sters? Does distance lend
enchantment to the view, that we send so far for
teachers, or is our system of training so deficient
that we dare not enttust tho:e nurtured beneath
its influence with the care of other minds? If tbe
former case, then it is high time to abandon tbe ab
urd notion; if the latter, to amend our plane cf edu
cation. I know that it is not every one who, to tbe
profession of knowledge adds the high gift of im
parting it aright, but the faculty is probably as
often to be found South of Ma-on and Dixon's line
as North. Said a Northern teacher to me one day,
rather eneeringly : “Miss , I never saw such an
ignoiant set as these Southern school girls; they
provoke me ail the time with their mistakes.” “I
know nothing about t he progress of their learning,”
I replied, “but what you say is not improbable, as
they have had Northern Inetruc'ressea for some
years.” I have thought since that it was a great
pity for them to have come hundreds of miles to
teach—nothing.
The time was, when Southern ladies of any stand
ing in society deemed it beneath them to engage in
the offioe of instruction, and would not do so unless
driven by dire necessity. They preferred to dream
and drone tbeir lives away,
“All indolently self-convolved,
Cocooned in silken fancies.”
rather than rouse their energies and exert their
powers toeome purpose. Anything rather than be
“eohool Ma'ams I” Even now, you may occasion
ally hear the assertion that “teaobers are not re
ceived into society.” I quote literally. But it
strikes me that if they are what they ought to
be—cultivated, intelligent, and high-minded—they
wou'.d soorn to mingle familiarly with the inane,
frivolous devotees of wbat the world calls society.
These extreme views maybe entertained by those
whose minds are too shallow to make their opinions
of any worth, never by those who have good com
mon sense, and whose weight of character entitle
them to respect. Teaching is an honorable calling,
an awfully responsible one, and though it may
sometimes be disgraced by its followers, it never
did and never will disgrace them. This sensitive
ness, formerly, was owing to a false, despicable
pride, which is fast dyiug out. Many Southern
ladies now study while at school to become teach
ers themselves in after life, and it is, to say the least,
disheartening to fail in their object, utterly, or, hav.
ing waited, and waited again, till hope deferred has
made the heart sick, to be put cf with some little
ABC school, there to drag the dull routine of ex
istence, till bloom, spirits, aud energy are quench
ed, and all aspirations repressed, in learniug chil
dren to “chirp and peck their letters.” “We must
pay for reputation,” observed the whilom Presi
dent of one of our institu'.ions. “Straws show which
way the wind blows, and we must pay for reputa
tion ” This is not just or right. We should for >cal
solid worth pay our coin and our praise. Seeing
then, that they are amply qualified, and in many
instances, willing and anxious to teaob, why not
more frequently employ our Southern ladies ? It
is not that I do not highly appreciate tbe worth
and capability of many of our Northern ones, but l
imagine that for the sake of consistency uni jus
tice, Southern instructresses should oftener be em
ployed in Southern schools. Ziola.

“Magnificent Scheme.’>
Mr. Editor :In our city newspapers several
schemes are advertised, and one of them to be
drawn in Augusta on every Saturday in Decem
ber, is designated as a magnificent scheme. As this
designation is in large capitals, intended to attract
public attention, it may be well to consider if it ie
used descriptively or deceptively.
The scheme now before me indicates that there
are S5lO prizes. Os these -182 may be called regular,
28 approximation, and 50(10 contingent—and as the
whole scheme embraces 50,000 numbers, it is obvi
ous that the chance of drawing a regular prize is
482 to 50,000, or as one to about 103. Taking the
approximation with the regular prizes we have the
ohancee as 510, to 50,000, or as l to about 98. In
the 50,000 numbers, there are of course 5000 ending
ini, 2,3, &c., to 0, consequently the chance of
drawing a S2O prize, ie ae 5000 to 50,000, or as i to
10. According to the doctrine of chances, then,
there is one chauoe for the happening of tbe event,
(a regular prize) to 103 that it will not happen.
In this I cannot peroeive any thing approaohing
magnificence, unless it is in ridicule of the stupen
dous folly of staking monev against such odds
But take another view of thie soheme—there are
50.000 numbers, and of course there should be
50,000 corresponding tickets ; these at $lO each
make $500,000. The prizes to be drawn make $320,-
000. Now, if an individual were to purchase every
ticket in this lottery he would pay $500,000 for
them, and as be wonld draw every prize he would
receive only $320,000, and his loss would be $!80,-
000. This may be the magnificent part of the
scheme, tor whatever is lost by those who venture
to purchase lottery tiokets is gained by the pro
prietors of the lottery. To torm some idea of the
extent of this view of tbe magnificenoe, let us sup
pose that 50 such lotteries are drawn in a year ; then
we have an indication that twenty-five millions of
dollars are invested in them by the pnrohasers of
tickets, and that of this nine millions go to the pro
prietors.
It is not known to the public that ail the tickets
in each of these lotteries are actually sold ; if they
are not, then the proprietor must have an interest
in the game, and of course should, and no doubt
would be sure not to lose by it, even if only one
ticket was sold.
The moral effect of lotteriee has been dismissed
from time to time, but the disenssion does not ap
pear to have done much good in that way, and I
venture to present tbe above to show tte tolly of
such gambling. At an early day I will present my
views a; to the restrictions which should be imposed
upon lotteries by the Legislature.

Illikois Legislature. —ln the Senate of Illinois
tbe following resolutions, introduced by Mr. Hef

platform:
Resolved, That we affirm the original and essen
tial inferiority of the negro.
Resolved,'taut we aeny that Ihe negro wa; in
tended to be embraced within the abstractions of
the right of freedom and equality was predicated
only for the dominant race o white men.
Resolved, That we deny that negroes are citizens
of the United States.
Resolved, That we affirm tbe compatibility of a
confederacy of tree and slave State, and the pos
sibility of their harmonious co-existence under a
common constitution.
Resolved, That we affirm the absolute sovereign
ty of the States in respect to their domestio institu
tions, and deny .he authority of the Federal Govern
ment to discriminate for or against the interests of
slavery. •
Resolved, That we desire to menlcate a policy of
non-intervention as between the free and slave
holding Sta'ee. as well as between the latter and
the Federal Government.
Resolved, That we support the decision of the
Supre-ne Court in the Dred Scott case, and in toe
sense that it guarantees to the owners of slave pro
perty an equality with the owners of other property,
in introaucing it into the territories : contending,
also, that as slave property ie thus placed on an
equal footing with other property, it, like all other
property, must be subject to ail such loca 1 laws of
tne territories as do not infringe upon the Conetitu
tion of tbe United States ; that slave property being
thus placed on au equality with other property, if it
requiriee higher and further affirmative legislation
j ror its protection and security than is afforded to
other property, and the legislation of the territory
should decide not to discriminate in its favor to
that extent, then the failure to obtain that higher
protection than is afforded to other property, is a
misfortune attenuing h that description of property,
for which we have no remedy, and are not responsi
ble.
Resoired, That we uphold all the guarantees of
the Federal ConetitutioD in respect to rights of the
slaveboldwg States.
Resolved, That we maintain the dignity and inde
pendence of the Senatorial function against the en
cioachment ot executive usurpation.
Resolved, That we protest our opposition to Re
pabacamsm, at every point, and upon every prin
ciple. r
Resolved, That we pledge fidelity to the ergs

The following letter from Wm. Woodpile, Esq.,
I to his friend, Hon. A. R. Wright, both good Dem
ocrats, is worthy of preservation, and we therefore
give it a place ;
Texas Valley, Co . Ga.. ?
Nov. 19ih, 1858. j
Dear Gus : My mind has been running a good
deal on wbat we we-e talking about the other day,
and I have ccnc uded to write to you and give my
onmions more fully than I was able to do a. ihat
time.
What was expected of you, Gas, Wi*en yoxi were
elected to Cocgre s irom this the stoutest and mas.
unswerving Democratic district, not otny in C-'-ot
gia. but in the Union ? Ton were unquestionably
elected as the trend ot the Administration, and had
vou not gained the confidence of the party, in that
respect, you wouldn't have polled a corporal s guard
of democratic votes. No member ever entered
Congress with more flattering prospects—with the
confidence of a constituency almost a unit in po
litical faith—with talents of a high order and ca
pacity for anything, and warm personal friend; WoO
were ready to back jour claims for any position
your ambition might aspire to. Ton certainly had
a bright career before you. Now wbat report have
you to make of yo jr stewardship ? How have the
loud anticipations of your friends been rea.ized ?
You have oetc in Congress about twelve mouths,
and have as effectually annihilated yourself as if
you had never been extant at all. “lou have knock
ed all the fat into the tire, and the conflagration has
consumed you.
And how have you done it ? Why first you went
ana slept with Toomb; Rnd Stephens, and evugh.
the Douglas itch, and then imprudently exposed
yourself to an airing in the newspapers, while the
disease was in its confluent state. That was mad
ness, Gas. I have known a man to be wrapped up
in a Btraigbt jacket for less. No man can tamper
with his constitution in that manner with impunity,
and I tell you, old fellow, you are cow in a bad
way, and your political end draweth nigh. How
often, Gus, has your uncle Billy and the rest of
your frieuds warned you against that pernicious
habit of letter writing ? Tbe least said about these
letters, the best. Taey say nothing and say it badiy
at that. They assume no position, enunciate no
principles, no policy, no nothing. In fact you are
nowhere, and don’t kDow it.
Solomon (not old Billy) said, “Oh that mine ene
my would write a book.” You'd have been a foe
to tickle his fancy, he’d have gone to sleep over
you. Gus, and woke up to find that you'd written,
published and busted, before he’d fairly got his nap
out.
Men readily forgive rascality, but folly they rarely
pardon, and you have eiuDed almost past redemp
tion. But luckily for unfortunates like yourself,
there is no evil withou. a remedy, and your uncle
Billy is not the man to strike you when down with
out helping you on your legs again. In desperate
cases, remedies must be strong to he effective, and
in your critical condition I would strongly adviee
your total abandonment of the art of Chirograpby.
Forget how to Uoit and sigD ycur name like Bon
ner makes cross marks on his maps. Tour only
total safety is in total abstinence, tor if ever you
put pen to paper you are gone.
When I heard of your first Douglas letter I went
home mighty down in the mouth, youraunt ?oliy
smelt a re; right of! What’s tiie matter old man ? says
she. Nothing but some political news that I heard to
ay.saysl. What U it? says she. Guess,eaysl. All the
n&saiODary Baptists going to plump Hanks? says
she. More than that,says I. Good gracious! old
man, - aye she, Bob Toombs aint said nothing and
stuck to it, surely ? That aint a circumstance to it,
says I. Ton lllrighten mo to death it you keep on
this way. Cobb aint had the apoplexy ? says she.
No say sI, its about our Gus. Oh Lordy! says she,
you needn’t eay any more old man, I know now,
Gus has been a writing. She shucked and went to
bed, without saying another word, and her aud me
lay (here groaning, without sleeping a wink that
blessed night. W r e feel very much hurt at you,
Guq for your uncle Billy ir flattered in tbe belief,
that he is considerably of an aes himself, and for
you to go out of your way to break h’.in down at his
own trade is unkind, as the pole cat said to John
Glenn when he put on his suit of corduroy.
If yuu had your uncle Billy's pluck and manliness
of character, you’d lie out of the whole business at
ones, and swear that A. R. Wright of Jefferson
wrote thosp letters, and there would be no great
harm in it either, for Ranee basso many sics toan
swer for already, that the additional e- cumbrance
wouldn't amount to much. Bovver thgt is more
than I can reasonably require of you, But I haye
the right to expeot you to abandon that pernicious
habit. If you can live without seeing your name
in print, then confine your literary efforts to writing
certificates for nair restorers aud pile ointments,
that’s innocent amusement and can harm nobody,
except those who take tbe remedies, aid it serves
them right for being such fools. Aud, if you must
write letters wriie ioiro; and they won't be wasted
But by far the safest course for you to ptxrsue js tq
abandon tbe use of stationary altogether.
The signs of the times look mighty equally for
you, Gus, and sorry it is that your uncle Billy has
to tell you so. Look at Tumliu hugging every body
that will let him. Look at Chastain, traveling
round, complaining of his biles, and getting every
body’s sympathy, and see Billy Clayton (“the old
man elephant”) how politp he ie, hopping about as
nimble aud spry as if he'd sold pat and retired from
the Tippoo Sultan line of character, W'laf d g they
point to ? They point to the loftiest tumble for you
next Oc ober that ever a man got, if you don't fall
into ranks again in double quick time ? Tou have
kicked out of harness, old boss, but fortunately for
you, you tav’nt broke anything, and now just get
your legs back again ovei the traces and go along
ouietlv, like a well broke horse, and don't get
frightened at the Buflgino. jVhen Aleck Stephens
goes again to Illinois to have qis pictui e painted,
don't you have your doggertype taken top, or you ; |l
be hung up along with it aud left haugieg there for
Bob and Alect to come and to take you down, and
wont you have to wait a long time, Gus ? And
when Bob Toombs talks Douglas at you again do
you walro him write it, and sign his name to it, and
print it, or Boh will dodge you certain.
Now I know whatyq;r svil! say when you see me
again, you’ll anile on your uncle Jiijiy in that in
sinuating way, give you head a twist in tfcfit amia
ble bira-like way of yours, and talk about honor,
convictions of duty, principles, &3. Now Guj,
they are ali gammon when they don’t pay, and to
makn them profitable you must make them follow
your iead apd not you follow theirs. Always make
your principles efubspryient to your interest, and
when it is to your interest topliaage your princi
ples, right ab ut lace at once, and rnuitp it a ppint
of honor as well as duty, to come down on your oid
principles like a thousand of brick. And that's the
way for you to get your foot out of this Douglas
huaiifess.
Bob anj Aleck have got the start of you in the
rack back to the D e P’- Clatic stand, but you have
the wind and bottom and esc V‘M’ - them on the last
quarter stretch, if you don’t spoil the sport by bolt
ing—there lies your danger. And when you get
sate back again, turn your pen into a tooth pick, dye
ypur whiskers with your ink, and tear up your
writing peper. Don’t have anything more to do
with Toombs and Stephens, and Douglas, and a!!
that set of ekylarkers. Tlmy are not the sort of
boys for you to associate with, they w jil always bo
getting you into trouble. Lean up to old Buck like
a sick kitten to a warm brick, cultivate Howell,
d;g around him and dung him. Climb up tbe , hill
there kt Home to Fort Lumpkin and talk to John,
tell him you didn’t go to do it, you’ll do so no more.
Thai’s your platform, Gus, stand to it, and Turn in
may hug the boys iu vain , Gossamer JJilly get as
tight and airy as a tomtit to no further purpose, and
Chastain’s crop of biles won’t pay the expense of
cultivation.
Asa parting injunction, I would advise you to
have the following (ittle mottoes printed in large
letters and stuck in conspicuous places about your
house, so that whichever way you turn, your eye
will light on at least one of them. No iprife—No
aid—letter—Forgot how—Cross roads his mark —
Talk to you all day—Say anything you want to
hear.—Rut write, never—won't pay — Quit —Learnt
better sense— Perish Penmanship — Stationery
Avaunt!lf
Now Guo, ycu have too benefit of your uncle Bil
ly’g counsel, and if you feel that you owe me any
return for it, you can iuily repay me by following it
to the letter. Do so, and if ever you rue it, my
name isn’t Mr. Woodpile.
Unexampled Phesiological Phenomenon
A Man Lives Three Days with the Top of His
Head Cut Off. —An accident occurred in a pottery
in tbe lower end of Fort street, in the outskirts of
Jletroit, some days since, resulting in the death of
an employeo of the establishment, which furnishes
a most singular instance of the tenacity with which
life clings at times to the human frame. The man,
whose name we have been unable to ascertain, was
engaged in the room wh re the machinery employ
ed in cu‘ting and pulverizing the clay is situated.
This machine is a large wheel, with heavy knives
or cutters placed at equal distance on its circum
ference. Some disarrangement of this wheel at
traded the attention of tbe unfortunate man, who
attempted to reach into (the wheel and a'ij ust it
while it was still revolving. In this, however, he
miscalculated the speed at which the machinery
was running, and before he could withdraw himself
lrom under the knife, it struck him on tbe back cf
the head, low down in the neck, completely sever
ing the upper and back portion of the skull on a
line cioße to the top of the ears, and cutting through
and removing a considerable portion of tbe brain.
The unfortunate man was a German, between
twenty-two and twenty-five years of age. Dr.
Zina Pitcher dressed the wound as well as the cir
cumstances would admit. The parietal bone, wh ch
had been carried entirely away, had been crushed
to atoms in the machinery, and, of course, could
not be replaced. The dura mater, or membrane
that encloses the brain, had also been torn off, and
several ounces of the brain itself were gone. In
this horribly-mutilated and wounded condition the
man was able to walk and converse, and his senses
were unimparied. We learn that he lived three
days after the accident
We are informed by the physician who attended
him that, in dressing the wound, he took occasion
to finger the brain, and that while so doing he man
was insensible to pain, there being apparently no
feeling in it, but that upon touching the dura mater
the man instantly expressed tbe must acute sensiti
veness. Had this membrane been uninju-ed the
man would probably have survived the accident.
We doubt if another case of such extraordinary
tenacity of life cm be foendin the records of acci
dents, but the actual occurrence of .he above cir
cumstanoe is vouched for by competent authorities,
and is beyond a doubt.— Detroit F<et Press.

Synopsis of President’s Message.
Washington, Dec. 6. —The President commences
his Message by congratulating the country on the
contrast of the agitation which existed in Kansas
only one yearago, with the peace and quiet which
now prevails.
The President refers to the Lecompton Consti
tution, and re-affirms h's former positions ou that
subject. He thinks if Kansas had been admitted
with that Constitution, the same quiet would have
been restored at an earlier day. Being, however,
perfectly wilting to acquiesce in any other constitu
tional mode of settlement, he signed the English
bill; and expresses the opinion that when Kaneas
again applies for admission as a State, she will
have the number of population required by that
bill.
He goes at length into a discussion of the ques
tions involved in the admission of new States, and
recommend; the passage of a general law by which
no new State shall be admitted, unless she has a
population sufficient to entitle her to one represen
tative.
The President congratulates Congress on the set
tlement of our Utah difficulties without the effusion
of blood.
He compliments the conduct of the officers of the
army in Utah, and expresses satisfaction at the
course pursued by Gov. Alfred Cummiug, and lion
orably mentions Col. Kane.
In relation tq the treaties recently made between
this counl ry and the governments of China and Ja
pan, the president considers, particularly in the
case of China, that our neutral policy contributed
much in our favor. Both treaties, he says will
prove cf great-importance to the trade and com.
merce of this country.
He congratulates the country, on the abandon
ment of the right of search, on the part of Great
Britain.
In reference to Central American affairs, he says
that negotiations are still progressing, and ha 9 rot
yet abandoned all hopes of success. Ho refers to
what he steted in kis message last year to Congress,
and in that connection states that his views on the
subject of the Isthmus routes accord with the policy
heretofore announced by Secretary Cass. His only
desire is to keep the routes open, and desires no
other privileges for the United States than we shall
expect other nations to enjoy. But this government
will not consent that those Isthmu; routes shall be
closed by the imbecility of nations whioh reside
near them.
The President regrets that the Nicaragua rente
ha3 been closed, and refers to the necessity of en
forcing our claims against Nicaragua and Costa
Rica.
Mexico, the President says, is in a condition of
civil war, and scarcely any hope exists of her resto
ration to a permanent government. He refers to
the causes which led to a rupture of our diplomatic
relations witb Mexico, and awards a handsome
compliment to the Hon. John Forsyth for his ser
vices as Minister there.
If it were not for the mare hope of obtaining jus
tice from the liberal party inMexioo—a party which
now appears to be approaching to power—the Pre
sident says he would recommend taking possession
of soph a portion of Mexico as would prove a suffi
cient indemnity to us for all our claims and griev
ances.
In North Mexico, bordering on our territory,
there are other considerations which claim oar at
tention. We are interested in the peace of that
section. In that neighborhood reside lawlecs In
djrjna, who enter cur settlements iu Arizonia, and
there seema no other way that this trouble or ciffi
oulty can be removed, than by establishing military
posts in Sonora and Chihn&liua. He recommends
this to be done, regarding Mexico as in a state of
imbecility and anarchy.
As to Spain, the Preeioent refers to the causes
whigh delayed tho appointment of a successor to the
Hon. A. C. Dodge, former Envoy Extraordinary
and Minister Plenipotentiary, and says that Mr-
Preston, his succe-sor, will go out with full powers
to settle all difficulties with Spain as soon as possi
ble.
The President says that Cuba ought to belong to
this country , and recommends that steps be taken
for its purchase. As we have acquired all new ter
ritory by honorable negotiation, chjs should not be
an exception.
In regard to the Tariff laws, tbe President re
affirms ins former opinion in lavor of specifie duties
on certain articles, and submits the whole question
to the enlightened consideration of Congress.
The President calls attention to the proposed
Pacific Riilroad, and rotors to the success of the
Overland mails as showing the practicability of the
rout£.
Among other subjects the President re-iterates
his former recommendation to establish a Territo
rial Government in Arizonia.
Washington, Dec. 6, P. M.—l send you the fol
lowing in addition to the synopsis of the President's
Message, transmitted to you to day.
The President specially desires Congress tq I@avp
no outstanding difficulties with Groat Britain. No
other two nations can do eaoh other more good, or
mare harm. Nicaragua presents the only diffiouity
in the way of the closest bonds of amity between
England and the (Jnited States,
Speaking of Cuba, the President say3 that Cuban
officials have again and again insulted our flag,
and injured our citizens. Diplomatic delays have
gone on year after year, and no reparation has
been reoeived, except in the Warrior case. He
wants the Captain-General of Cuba to be invested
with the necessary power and authority to settle
all matters iu dispute between us, without tantaliz
ing references to Madrid. The fact is, continues
the President, Cuba, in her present condition, is a
constant source of injury and annoyance to the
Ameri lan people ; she caused the recent trouble
with Great Britain and this country, which grew
out of the visitation of our merchant ships by Eng
lish men-of-war in the Gulf. We should not, if we
could, acquire Cuba by any but honorable meins,
and the President urges jjjat repeated offers be
made to purchase Cuba. So long as we do not
exercise control over that Island, it will continue to
plscs our relations with Spain in jsopardy. Spain
need not bo ashamed or fastidious about selling
Cuba. Napoleon Bonaparte sold Louisiana.
Congress should authorise the President to make
a cash advance immediately on concluding the pur
chase of Cuba. In the meantime, the Spatiisn
Amistead claims are just, and they sh-uid be paid-
Mexico owes to the people of the United States
about $11,000,000, but she is bankrupt, aQd so pow
erltss that she cannot protect our citizens from
forced loans, or our frontiers from aggressions by
her lawless people. Reprisals, on our part, are not
on'j in accordance with international law, but are
the only means of averting actual war.
The anarchy prevailing in Mexico prevents the
settlement of the territory ot Arizona.
The President recommends that this government
shall assume a temporary protectorate over North
ern portions of Chihuahua and Sonora, and estab
lish military posts thereon, to be withdrawn when
ever Mexico is capable of governing herself.
The political condition of the Isthmos is of the ut
moet importance to us. The President advises al l
conflicting transit Companies to settle their difficul
ties before some competent tribunal, but says the
commerce of the world should not be compelled to
wait until such differences were satisfactorily ad
justed.
Nicaragua may charge a reasonable sum for
the right of way through her territory, L and assess
fair Custom House charges, if she will, but zhe must
not close the route to our possessions on tbe Pacific,
If Nicaragua doee close this route, the President
asks for the authority of Congress, to employ the
laud and naval forces of the country to keep the
route open when required; and the troops to be
withdrawn when the necessity ceases.
The President recommends the same policy to be
applied to the Panama and Tehuantepec route.
Unless Costa Rica and Nicaragua make ac early
aud peaceful settlement of the difficulties existing
between us, it only remains for us to employ the
necessary force to command a settlement.
The Government of Grenada hae offered anew
treaty which will remove all difficulties with that
state. She probably will not again attempt to en
force a tax on our passengers and commerce.
With the Government of Brazil our relations are
of a friendly character. We are in diplomatic cor
respondence with her, and urging her to abolish her
high duties, as weil as urgmg a settlement of the
claims of our citizens against her.

From the Savannah Republican .
Georgia and Carolinn ns Represented by iheir
Governors*
Mr. Editor .-—Soma three weeks ago I caused to
be published ia the Augusta Constitutionalist, a
communication, scrutinizing two propositions in the
late annual message of Qjv. Brown, one to rob the
banks of Georgia unde}’ form of law, and thus crush
them, and the other tp lend the aid of the State
Treasury towards the construction of a useless sys
tem of railroads. In that communication, which
was copied in the Republican and in many papers
of the interior, I said that I was done with his Ex
cellency for this season and session.
I hope it will not be considered a material depar
ture from tbst assurance i I request you to repub
lish from the message of Governor of South
Carolina—just delivered —the following short ex
fraet —which is all that his message contains about
banks. It runs as follows:
“ As to the banks, trusting to the experience and
superior wisdom of members, I will not occupy you
with any suggestions of my own, further than to
ask for the repeal of the usury laws, and to recom
mend stability and as liftfe legislation as possible. I
would willingly diminish the number of baulks when
existing charters expire. But, having once char
tered a bank upon a basis ensuring due responsibili
ty, 1 would trust its Board of Directors to manage
the monopoly upon the recognised principles of
banking, and the governing course of business, ia
terferring not by temporary laws, harsh restrictions
and penalties, believing, as I do, that the great se
curity to the community, for the faithful manage
ment of a bank is to be found in the character of
the persons by whomjc isadmini-tered.’*
Now I would like to hQY? tbe people of Georgia
compare their recommendations with the columes
written by Gov. Brown in both his annual mes
sages—agamst our own banks that were twice as
strong at the tim of suspension as those ot Caro
lina, that resumed specie payments before they
could possibly do to, although they were forced by
our banka into an earlier resumption than they had
ever contemplated.
Let the people compare tbi?, I say—with the ty
rannical edict of Gov. Brcwn, followed close by his
bill of pains and penalties now before the legisla
ture. This bill deprives the banks of 21 per cent,
a year of their capital stock—or of nearly ail their
capital in four years—so long as the bank presi
dents refuse to take an oath. >tt the dictation of the
Governor, swearing away their chartered rights—
an oath which moet ot them solemnly thick they
cannot aDd t ught not to take.
Now, sir, I have rone once more with Governor
Brown —repeating one of my former observations,
that the war of our revolution grew out of causes
not one quarter part so oppressive as this his im
perial ukase— and that I will at al times resist to
the death any one attempting to rob me *nd my
children of their property whether it be by a high
wayman. or by a Governor of Georgia acting under
mocking form of law.

Mr. Witt, member of the Koval College of Sur
geons, has, published a pamphlet in which be states
that bicarbonate of atnmonia is a specific for the
cure of scarlet fever and measles. He cites Dr.
Peart, of Liverpool, and other practitioners, who
have never lost a case out of hundreds einca adopt
ing this remedy. Two drachma of the bicarbonate
of ammonis are dissolved in five ounces of water,
and two tablespoonfuls of the solution given every
two, three, or tour hours, according to the urgency
of the symptoms. No acid drink moat be taken,
but only water, or oast and water. Ihe system is
to be moved by a dose of calomel if necessary. The
room must be we.l ventilated, but the patient pro
tected from the slightest cold or draft Gargles
should also be employed for clearing the throat.
The ammoni& seems to counteract the poUon which
causes ecarletina and also acts on the ey3tem by
diminishing the frequency and at the same time in
creasing the etrength of the pulse As so many
children die from tuese diseasee in this country,
this remedy ought to receive a fair trial from the
profession.

OBITUARY.
Died in this city on Friday, Dec* 3d, EDWARD
FRANKLIN, son of DavidS. Boatet, aged 15 years 5
month-s and 10 days.
The subject of this obituary was a youth, worthy in
i every resp ct of the highest eulogy. He was gentle
manly ia his department, polite and courteous to hlj
schoolmates, obedient and docile as a pupil; and a
son, all that a loving father or mother could desire He
was pure in his morals and chaste in sentiment and lan
guage. He was very modest in his disposi ion, yet
ardent in bis attachments. One of his school fellows
i stifiea, that “ in every game, he always clayed fa rly,”
when is high enlogy. But ail his good qualities c aid
not shield this virtuous youth from the arrow of Death.
Edward ia gone! but let his bereav. and parents and
! friends be comforted, for we have good reason to hope
I thrt his pare spirit has pass* and from this world of tronoie
1 and sorrow into the haven of eternal rest. H.

with which prices had advanced without adequate cc,ise,

general tting, planters in this section have sold suffi
cient to relieve themselves of pressing obligations, and
are now holding lor higher prices. Toe few sa es be ng
made are mostly by small planters win require U e
money or take the proceeds ot their cotton out “in trade.
The general feeling seems %q be that prices will re act,
and under ’hiß impression the warehouses in Albany
are filing up. We quote extremes today 9}@lo4c—

The warm weather has caused packers to suspend op
eration ; in a measure for lh present, though the re
ceipts of llogs have been la.ge during the w eek. Tbe
number slaughtered thus far lull greatly behind tho ope
rations of last year.
We find tae following paragraphs in our exchanges, iu
regard to Hogs and Pork.
The Bristol News, of the Ist, quotes Pork at 5c., and
says:
Dur ng the past week the sh-pmont of Hogs from tho
Virginia Uepoi a this point have h en only fifteen hun
dred head, and tbe totai lor tbe season has not been ha.f
so great as up to the same time last year Whether this
is attiikutable toti?e short Hog cr p in the hog raising
and strict* west of us. or whether drovt rs are holuing hack
for better prices, we do not know, hut have reason o be
lieve that the former is the t ue state of ho case. There
have been some otsof Pork offered at this point by
rais, rs iu the vicinity, but little as yet has been sold, and
therese mi no disposition on tho part of buyers to ad
vance the price.
The Bhelfcyville Expositor or the 34, e*ya;
Pork is offered in tnis market at 5 is£ tents. Engage*
znents so far havo been mostly mads at tue former fig
ure Our slaughtering h uses have commenced opera
tions for the p e ent season. We are inform and that tho
one at the bridge will puck about nine Un and she
one up the mer about fifteen thousand hogs. The sea
son has be u fine for killing so far.
The Clarksville Chronicle, of the 31 says
The pork-packing *. suibiisumti’t cu&puciived opera
tions yesterday. liogs are ar^iv qk very f cely. Our
pache s, so far as wp can earn, have not baeu tie \ltug
largely. Thp figures paid in Louisville aud Cincinnati
are irtiher a arming, a id the cause of the excitement at
tbefie points ; ot being well defined, caution is very cs
sen ial. It the prices wen. given by the regular trade,
lha presumption would be in favor if their being justi
fied by ibe laws .f demand ana supply. I y,t if th y are
paid mainly by ouisidtr*, there 8 to doubt the pro
pi iety of following their lcr,d.
