Arriving in Savannali on Monday
evening, we found ourselves too late,
for the excursion to Ft. Pulaski—too
late ! Perhaps it was as well—it is not
wise to run into temptations—and it
was generally admitted by the party,
that the fascinations of the “artillery

killed and about 200 more or less se
verely wounded.
Directly after the disaster occurred,
the fire alarm was used to give notice,
and the Hook and Ladder Companies
of the city repaired at once to the scene.
A cordon of police was drawn to the
windows for three hours. After that
the scene was full of horror. Minute
after minute there appeared, swung out
by the rope, tied around the middle, the
body of some popular favorite, who,
after being swung on the top of the
f boulders of one of the Fire Brigade,
mangled and dea l, were brought down
ihe ladder into the green of the public
park, where it was instantly surroun
ded bv two or three thousand of,tho»e
who had eathered to recognize the slain.
The park was filled with anxions,
weeping women, and anxious men, an
til two o’ploQk, when the last victim was
drawn from the bqilfling. After this
the police closed the park, refusing ad
mittanee to any one, the bodies of the
dead having been sent out.
AH the stores in the city were closed,
and the following placards put up on
the doors : “C osed in cons; quence of
the disaster at the Capitol.”
No more business was done during
the day.
To-night meetings were held by
members of the Press Association,
members of the late Military Associn
tions, members of the Bar, and of the
citizens generally.

day of general mourning.
excuse the mistake—we spoke of men
“grown gray” &c. There must be
something in the life editorial, that pre
serves the hair. Printing is said to be
“the art preservative of all arts”—how
else account for the fact, that of the
elder members of the Association not
one was gray. Time had set his mark
u^ion them—there were lines of thought
upon the brow—marks of care and
anxiety—an occasional, fixedness of
the eye as if the soul had wandered
back to the past, and memory was call
ing up its hallowed associations—but
the glory of old age the hoary head
was not there.
The Association, or such of its mem
bers as would go, were kindly invited
pn Tuesday evening to visit Laurel
Grove Cemetery and witness the deco
ration of the graves of the Confeder
ate dead. It was a touching scene—
there arranged in rows, neatly, kept,
free from grass and weeds—slept the
heroes of the lost cause—and here were
beauty and, wealth arid worth—the ven
erable matron and the beautiful child
all busy in placing flowers upon and
ground the graves of the honored dead -
We stood by the iron railing that sut-
rbunds their graves, and iis we thought
of the hearts, wrung with anguish and
of the hopes blighted, to fill those
graves, our eyes filled with tears, and
Overturned sadly away. Two'thousand
people it is estimated were upon the
ground, and yet scarcely a sound dis
turbed the solemn’ stillness.' Away
from the Cemetery ‘ now decked in all
the garniture of spring, we'gb'to Bona-
venture and Thunderbolt, arid thence
back to Savanrtah- It was & pleasant
ride, rather dusty upon the shell road,
and we were glad when we reached our
hotel. Of our visit to Bethesda, we
may speak some other ti’mfe!
The Association adjourned Wednes
day morning, and at night we were in
vited to partake of rather the finest en
tertainment wb have ever seen.—given
in honor of the Representatives of the
Press. Then there was eating and
drinking, and the feast of reason and
the flow of soul. Several sentiments
were offered—several speeches made,
we have not space to particularize. A
single incident only—when the seuti
aent, “an Independent Judiciary,” was
read, Dr, Arnold moved “that it be
The Tariff.
In tlie discussion on Vhe lariff, Hon.
Mr. Kelly, of Pennsylvania, advocated
as usual, high protection of the Iron
interests of that State, when in reply
to his argument the Hon. S. S. Cox
(commonly known as Sun set Shoe fiy
Cox) gave vent to the following pleas

I ain not sure if I should ask him,
“Lo you oppo.-e all foreign competition
with what we can produce in tiie Uni
ted S ams against cheaper production
from abroad ?’’ lie would, in the inter
est of bis State, promptly reply “Ye.-!”
If 1 again ask him, if tne article from
abroad were fabulously low, so as to
injure trade and glut the market,
wnether he would either restrict its
entry, or prohibit .it aliogether, he
wouni answer, “By ail means I Res
trict! Prohibit!’ Wlieu he answers
he would illustrate the parable ol the
French economist. He would close all
windows, skylights, outside and inside
shutters, curtains, blinds, bull’s eyes,
openings, chinks, clefts, and fissures
whereby the sun has entered, lo the
prejudice of the meritorious tmi.iufae-
vuier of candles, 'wax lights, lamps,
candlesticks, stieet lamps, snuff. r , ex

(Laughter.) I shall not be surprised
when the votes are taken by clauses to
find the gentleman from Pennsylvania
[Mr. Kelly] appealing for these manu
lactures against the “sunbeam,” as a
tiee nader, destructive of American
industry, fie will insist aga.nst the
policy of cheap and plentiful light from
abroad. He must take care for the
producer of pet;oleum ; he must stop
tiiis external competition from day

the national market for national indus

this uppish, solar foieigner to rival the
coal-gas of Pennsylvania? (Laughter)
Is not the sun alien to Permsy vaiua?
Is not his labor, though the beams
come from so far, clicap labur, pUuper

Does he not inundate us half the

Heartrending Scene.
Richmond, Va, April 27.—AHrge
crowd collected in the. upper portion of
the Capitol Building, where the Su
preme Court of Appeals is located, to
hear the decision in the Mayoralty case.
About eleven o’clock the floor gave
way beneath the dense weight, preeipi
tating the crowd to the floor below,
which was that of the House of Dele
gates. It is hard to ascertain at pres
ent the extent of injuries, so great is
the excitement, but some were killed
. and a large number severely injured,
j Many escaped the terrible fall by jump
| ing into wiudows when the flo r gave
wav. The wounded are now being at
tended to.
LATER.
A terrible calamity occurred here
this morning, floor of the Court
of Appeals in the State Capitol gave
way and precipitated the hundreds
therein assembled to hear the decision
in the Mayoralty case of Ellyson and
Chahoon, upon the Conservative caucus
then sitting in the hall of the House of
Delegates.
It is impossible to ascertain the ex
tent of the injuries at this hour. Among^
the killed are P. U. Aylett, a distin
guished lawyer ; Dr. J. B. Brock, re
porter of the Enquirer and Examiner ;
Samuel Eaton, clerk of Mayor Cahoon,
Captain William A. Charters, Chief of
the Fife Department; N. P. Howard,
lawyer; A. Si. L. Levy, a Richmond
merchant; Charle* WatsOn, of the
Danville railroad; Hugh Htitcbison;
Lewis N. Webb, of this city'j !i Maj.
Schofield, a brother of General Scbp
field; R. H. Maury, Jr.; Senator
Bland, colored ; Powhatan Roberts.
It is supposed that twenty members
of the State Legislature are killed and
wounded. The Judges of the Court of
Appeals all escaped unhurt. Ex-Gov.
Wells was badly injured. L. II. Chan
dler, counsel lor Chahoon in the May
oralty da’se', was injured. James Nee-
son and Judge Meredith, counsel for
EHysb'n, w’ere also badly hurt. About
two hundred persons were hurt by the
accident. The greatest excitement
prevails. ~
Hundreds of persons are on the Cap
itol square weeping ’and wailing as the
dead and dying are brought out of the
building.
Governor Walker escaped unhurt,

From the Englishwoman's DomesticMag.
I know one most excellent school in
Kentish Town, London, where there
are boys * from six to ( >ur[een, arid
where the very ^cii-d and good ladies
who manage it (and who have a!wa/s
ni'ire application for admi.ssip.n than
they can receive) administer the iod in
a w$y w hich, if a Scotch pioRi^r pouhi
witness, would effectually neg.live her
ideas of ladies not be\ng ahie to birch
a boy worth mentioning after he ceased
to be a" lit tie buy. I know of four of
theii boys who afterward went to Eton
where they subjected themselves to
the birch—and I suppose Eton birching
is tolerably severe—yet they thought
it not nearly so bad as that of Miss
. I will in-tance two cases among
manv where their system answered in
a lemaikable manner.
A MAGNIFICENT WHIPPING.
O.ie was o boy who had been to a
lar^e preparatory school at Clapharn,
where “corporal punishment was dis
pensed with.” Thi boy, at twelve,
was n great pest, and by great good
luck his parents heard of Miss V
most excellent school, and sen' him to
it. lie very soon began his bad wavs
yij sa tried at first grntle measures
but wfih no success; and so after many
ffenccs she oidered him to liis room,
.el him wait by himself for half an
hour, and then entered, holding tin-
bireli rod behind tier so that he should
not see it. She spoke to him very
gravely and lovingly, and then told
him she wns going to birch him, at the
same time showing him the rod, and
bidding him piepare himself for pun-
ssbment (as she considers making tin
uoys prepare themselves to be whipped
half the battle). He stoutly r fused,
whereupon, after considerable delay,
she left him for half an hour or more.
At the end of that time she again re
turned, bringing o cane as wefl as the
rod. He sii'l refused to prepare him
self, whereupon, spite of struggles, she
top.k off f;is jackets, arid then gaye him
a sound'caning across his sfiohlders
He soon promised to do a9she told him.
She then laid trie ‘cane aside; and when
:ie had takeu off hts frdusers, and had
tucked his shirt at her bidding, under
his waistcoat, and laid, hifffself across
the little bed with his person, bare, she
told him she should birch him now
for lefusing to obey her orders, and that
the original punishment would be de
ferred. She then took the rod, and,
after five or six well-delivered strokes,
the boy) after trying to protect himself
with his hands, jumped up.
She again took fh6 cane and gave
him another caning; arid then he final
ly, and Once for all, submitted, and my
good friend was aiiowed'to finish her
birching; and so far had shfe mastered
bim that when the next day 1 another of
the Miss ordered him to’his room
to redeive the original punishment—
for the offence for which her sister was
to have administered punishment the
day before—be prepared himself for
the roil exactly as she told him, and
took his Birching at her hands with
wonderful submission. Duriug his stay
at this school (aud his.pareuts prolong
ed it as fn.ueh as possible) fie had many
similar private interviews with the
Mtss ——, in which the birch rod bore
a pionr.iuent part. But his life now
bears the fruit of his training then, and
it is not possible to find a more exem
plary or promising young man ; and 1
have no hesitation in saying that his
present promise is mainly owing to the
firm discipline he experienced at the
hands of the Miss . The other
case was rather a remarkable one.
THE widow’s SON WALLOPED BY WO
MEN AT 16.
Seven years ago, ray good friends,
the same ladies were spending their
Christmas holidays with a relative in
Yorkshire, when they had pointed out
to them a boy of 15, who was a fearful
trouble to his widowed mother, and
during the time they were visiting
Yorkshire, the metber came in the
greatest d stress to the hou«e where my
friends were staying, and told how her
son had robbed his uncle. Knowing
the great experience of boy human na
ture which my friends had, they
asked tne mother to consult them. Sue
did so, and the end of it was that tne
mother determined to take lodgings for
..eF’son in Rentish‘Town,
and agreed that the 1 son Should corneas
a (lay boy to hep schobl. Thjsaccor-
(hngly took pi >ce. The day rtfter lie
had enteied the school, his mother call
ed, by arrangement, at 12 o’clock, and
was taken into a room where were the
Miss -and her s m.
His past conduct was then fully
brought before turn. lie was then told
that he must expect to be severely pun
ish, d. He was undressed by the Miss
(this was thought the most advi
sable) and then being fastened across a
short bench used for the pu pose, he
received from each of the Misses —
most severe birching, a new rod being
applied by each, and all the hideling-
were administered in the presence of
his motner. He was then sent to a
bedroom prepared for him in the hou.-e
where lie remained tvyQ days U*‘then
went back to his mother’s lodging, and
attended tiie school as a day buy as
usual. He remained a quarter there,
and every time he show- d ids former
evil nature he was birched. At the
end of the quarter he was a different
bov: his friends were quite amazed ai
thechauge in him; he went to Rugby,
and thence to Trinily College, Cam
bridge. He has been the greatest pos
.-able comfort to Ins widowed mother,
and he is expected to lake a very good
iegree this very January, 1870.
NO FAMILY COMPLETE WITHOUT IT
A relative of mine during last au-
iumn advertised fora school in which
to place her daughter, who was both
“headstrong and unrul v,” and she sta
led pi the advertisement, “a selioo
where corporal punishqientis prudmii
lv administered preferred.” In reply
she had letters from very many princi
pals of ladies’ schools, of whom twenty
four stated that they were in the habit
of using corporal punishment for al
graver faults; some used it also for
school work; and of tiiese seventeen
of them specified ‘the birch rod in the
old fashioned way’ as the instrument
and inode, of punishment. I konw
several public institutions for girls
wlieie tiie birch rod is used, and sev
eral more where it would be used if
the maiiHgeis had their way in the mat
ter. I know one very expensive school
lor young ladies m K.-n-ington, where
for certain offmccs, whatever their aue,
the young ladiesare biroii.-d afoilow>:
Having retired and put uu a die>3
for the purpose, at ail appointed hour
the young lady to oe p unshed knocks
al the door of the boudoir of the lady
principal, who after seri us conversa
tion witn her, ami sometimes prayer,
makes her enter her offence (always a
grave one) in a book kept for the pur
pose, which she does. The lady prm
eipal then rings the bell, and the mat

THE BIBLE AND THE BIRCH.
After pointing out to the child the
fearful halure of its fault, and praying
Willi it that it might never again fall
into such sin, my husband, saying,
:V'il liars shall have their portion in
the lake that burnetii witli fire and
brimstone,” inflicted an invariably ex
tremely severe whipping, proportion
ate to ihe age of tiie delinquent, who
was then sent to bell. One unanswer
able argument iq favor of my system
is that my dear children, wtio are alt
married, have adopted u in every de
tail wiili their own lutie ones. De
pend upon it, children chastised sys
leuiaiically from a year old will sel

WHIP EARLY AND WHIP OFTE-Y-
'The mother of two boys and six
girls (tiie youngest now twenty-five),
writes: It seems to me all your Cor
respondents omit the first principal of
the usefulness of punishment by whip-
ping-k^namely, that you cannot begin
too early. Permit me to stale my
method, as it fully answered As babe<
in arm my children were never a! Ip Wed
whiff they screamed for, and at fhrt age
of one year I began to chastise therin,
that is to say, at first to give perhaps
two strokes with a small birch' twig,
increasing the punishent with their age
With the various dispositions I. fodnd
great difference in the amount of dis
cipline required. Two of the children
were never whipped after four years
old; they were the two which‘required
almost incessant punishment between
one and three. Two boys and tw6
girls were never whipped murih after
seven, or perhaps seven arid half. 'M.\
eldest girl escaped from the rod a 1 ten,
but my third, who was subject to fits of
willfulness, did not ueciive her Iasi
whipping till some months past four
teen.
At the begining, before the child
can reason, the slightest fault should
never pass uneorrecfetf-—iertamtv of
the punishment is eyen rnbLe importa#-
than severity, though I Think ‘oue s«-v
eie whipping more useful 'than three
slight ones. A bad fit dt‘ obstinacy -s
one of the most trying naughtinesses,
such as suddenly refusing to say a let
ter or word perfectly k’m/wn. As the
fit must be subdued, f used to inflict
a whipping at intervals'of ten minut. s
till the word was said. Sometimes the
fit would last an Hour or even longer.
For lying, a» tiie most deadly of all
chddis . sins, the most severe punish
ment was resrved. Whatever the time
of day, the culprit was sei.t up stairs to
prepare for bed, and when ready was
brought to me. I had in the meantime
