Habenacker has been prosecuted tor assault and battery, because be admin istered a little hickory oil to one of his pupils. What next? We expect mamma and papa soon to be arraigned for the same offence, by the dominant little mas ters and misses of the present period. That doctrine of “ moral suasion ” with schoolboys is a myth and absurdity. It is like throwing grass at the urchin in the apple tree, and only excites his ridi cule. There is a certain amount of com- bativeness in the ersniums and composi tion of hoys which must be met with assault and battery too. in the sound ap plication of the birch and ferule, if we keep the ball in motion, and people can’t and won’t buy their merchandise, if they don’t fans what they hare to sell. Hence the careful an 1 shifty dealer has "line upon lint,’’ and is erer telling the story of the great bargains he can offer, and th* beantzful things he can almost give away for a small consideration in cash. The eager public read, and resolve to «i for themselves, and then it U the fault of the merchant alone if he fails to sell to them. But there is still another class who ex claim, we are already sufficiently known, and money devoted to advertising is simplj thrown away. To such, we can only say they will awaken some fine morning and find that THE GEORGIA PRESS.

Tho only sad thought that obtrude* itself upon tho general gratification and thankfulness at the escape of the country from the evils of war is. that so much thrilling Congressional eloquence will bo lost to history and an admiring world. There were, at a moderate calculation, at least two hundred and ninety, of tho two hundred and ninety-two members of tho lower houso. and seventy of the seventy- four senators, ehargod to tho lips, brim- full of "thought* that breathe and words that buru," to lie nvnlnnched upon tho country next week: but who are now, alas! doomed to bitterest disappoint ment. Tho child Is not to be born—tho national bird is to bo allowed to rest in peace a littjo while longer. What a mel ancholy reflection, to be sure. We sym pathise with the sufferers, but we sup pose tho country can stand it. It almost moves us to tears, though, to think of the anguish of some of the disappointed ora tors. Such an opportunity for gush— such an opening for poppycock—such a good excuse for slopping over, has never been hold so near tho lips of tho average American demagogue, only to be rudely snatched away. We shall not be sur prised to hear that Congress insists upon indemnity from Spain for acceding to the demands of the Federal Government, and thus spoiling their opportunity for wrap- pingthemselves in tho American flag, and going to glory on tho wings of tho Amer ican eagle. Traile In New York. The Philadelphia Ledger's New York letter give* some encouraging reports of tho retail trade revival in New York. The letter says: “ City trade, as regards the retailer*, has been, on the whole, rather more satisfactory last week than during its predecessor. People are less inclined to hoard money than they were during the panic, while tho general shrinkage in Talues presents new tempt ations to buy. As a result of tho mark ing down of prices by the leading houses, there is everywhere a recognition of lower prices, particularly for dry goods, and this attracts custom. There may be no profits resulting, but if there are no losses shopkeepers consider that they are doing well. As the holidays draw near the jewelers and dealers in fancy goods report business a little more active, though customers all expect an abate ment in prices." Coiisrrcss anti tho Message. Congress meets to-morrow, and our next issue will probably contain the Pres ident’s massage. The settlement of the Spanish difficulty will, however, divest it of any special interest, and it will not bo w rth, 3-* n sws. the money it will take to bring It o»sr the wires. States have be demanding th* the YirgUjius. trot ion system, < ThxSpa*!*!!

Tho Spanish Govern ment has pfawp—d that the question of the right of the seizure shall be le.t to arbitration, and that the vassal be not surrendered to the United State* until an award is male. Tins is all thaAonghttO bo a-Aed; and as our oricinid demand is ir.-isted on. it ia evident our Government | is endeavoring to bully Spun into an un conditional and humiliating surrender.

It is evident that Secretary Fish knows wh. to kick. tion. affection, and many other impnlse* of the mind may be wrought upon for good, in dealing with these gentle crea tures. But the stubborn, irrepressible, defiant, mischievous, truculent pnpil of the mas culine gender, who will load his teacher’s pipe with gunpowder, bar him out of his own premises, dig.pitfalls for him, attack him in ambush with rotten eggs, and sos’i learn the difference between a pro noun and a verb, but is mi/ait in robbing fruit orchards, smashing window-panes, plucking live chickens, shaving hones’ tails, unhanging gates, and every other diablerie, must have administered to him the argvmentum ad homines*, the final ap peal to reason, in the shape of summary flagellation. Talk of moral suasion and the power of kind word* to such specimens of American pluck and independence, and yon might a* well Bing psalms to a dead horse as attempt thus to influence them. They will listen to you with long faces mid lachrymose eyes, and then ere your back is turned, apply the thumb to the nose with that peculiar motion of tbo fin gers. to indicative of derision and con tempt. So. as long as boys continue to be boys, hickory switches and leather straps will form an essential ingredient in their education. As far as tho writer is concerned, he believes in selecting teachers of known probity and correct principles for his children, and then they are made to know that there is no power behind the throne. Ordinary complaints aud talcs out of school arc treated with indifference, or the young ones catch whipping number tuo at home. More than half the youth of tho country are irreparably injured by tho injudicious in terference of parent.* with the discipline of the school-room. It is this folly on the part of patrons that makes teaching the hopeless, thankless drudgery it is in so many instances. The master, so-called, has himself a master in every rebellious boy and his irate parent*. No wonder that such numbers of scape graces and ignoramuses emerge from our school* and arc thrown upon society. They have never been taught obedience, or subjected to the wholesomo restraint of authority, and as a consequence, their lives prove miserable failures. Of course these remarks are not in tended to apply to tho scores of peda gogues who. without mental or moral qualifications, havo merely taken up the occupation of teaching fora living. Some of these are the veriest tyrants on earth, and deserve a coat of tar and feathers for their treatment of the children entrusted to their care. Henco jhe good which we trust will grow out of the public school system, properly administered. None but the best and purest men should have the su pervision of these schools, and every teacher should bo subjected to the most rigid examination, and be made to fur nish unexceptionable testimonials of ex emplary character. Well may tho education of her chil dren become tho paramount duty of the State, and be duly provided for by law and adequate taxation. The several Boards of Education and school superin tendent*. are charged with the gravest and most weighty obligations, and to them must wo look for an alwtement of the er rors and evils of our former school sys tem, and the reforms which ore so ur gently needed. Advertising in Dull Times. The Milwaukee Wisconsin soys: After tho crash of ’57, when everybody was al most seared to death and the croakers predicted that the country had gono to smash, a dry goods bouse was opened in this city, which proceeded 'on tho princi ple that in order to reach tho hoarded money in the pockets of the people the proprietors must sell at very reasonable prices. They workel very vigorously upon this principle. Their brother mer chants who did not advertise predicted that the new comers would be ruined as they paid too much for advertising. Nevertheless they persisted. In a single year they paid five hundred dollars in gold to the Daily Wisconsin tor advertis ing. and at the end of seven years they retired from business with a fortune of one hundred thousand dollars, while other merchants on the same street, some of them opposite their store, had failed. To this tho New York Express says: In this city, in the panic of 1S57, n merchant continued his advertising through the whole period of stagnation, and notwithstanding predictions that “it would’nt pay,” his testimony afterward was that his rales were steady and his profits satisfactory, while many a mer- chant around him* **who could’nt afford to advertise,” raw his clerks stand idle behind the counters. A Nwei-i-i panic does not mean that no one has money. There ia plenty of money in the country, and those who hoard it are last the ones to be eager for the “bargains" which a fall is prices hold out. We commend the above to the careful consideration of our merchants and the advertising public generally. Some of our friends declare that they don't with to sell goods at the present juncture- If such bs really true, then the sooner they get rid of store rent and clerk hire, and wind up and retire, the better. But we venture the assertion that it is cnly those who sell on credit that talk ia this way. And we commend the resolution and hope they will stick to it. It were far better to lode up the store w ;th its crowded shelves and piles of goods, and only take a peep at it once a week to see that all is safe, rather than send them oat on credit, and reap a har- vestof homestead and bankruptcy notice*, which will rery probably culminate in tout own ruin aud dsracraUxatoon. and T , _ to*he*ame make-shift to induce a re -o-. -- 1 pay your debt* Bat those who are content to worV hard and sell for the cash, cren a. smallest profit*, can’t affer l to giro up advertising, and thus effectual!* L.de their light under a bushel.

Logan, who arrived about The World, of Wednesday, has the fol- u * o’clock. Dr. Willis Westmoreland lowing account of Tweed’s surroundings, his visitors, spirits, and how he passes his time in bis quarters in the Tombs: A slight change came over the monot ony of William M. Tweed’s life in the Tombs yesterday. The cell which he now occupies, while lacking the comfort of his former room, is better ventilated and much larger, and looks out upon Cen tre street. It is situated in the southeast end of the Tombs. The furniture it con tains is scant, and but few other articles are there besides a lounge and an ordi nary hunk. No nttempt has been made to furnish the cell, a* Twee! seems to re alise that his stay is hut temporary. How soon he may be transferred to the penitentiary no one seems to know. Sheriff Brennan yesterday reiterated his former statement to tho writer, that his prisoner would not he removed until his business matters were settled. The gen eral opinion seem to be that tho transfer will not take place for some days yet. Mr. Tweed’s time is principally occupied with reading and writing letters. Up to yes terday morning he wa* busily engaged in making transfers of his real estate, but yesterday none were made. He seems to realize his poution. and remarked yester day to his secretary, Foster Dewey, who asked for specific instructions on some business mutter, “Keep your eyes open and do the best you enn; you know I’m a dead man in law—I’:n a felon.” Deputy Sheriff Shields says that Tweed seems in excellent spirit*." He is quite reserved towards the Tomb* attendants, but is very communicative to his friends and counsel. He seems to be in excellent health and eats heartily of the food which Matron Foster furnishes him. The resolution adopted by the Commissioners of Chari ties and Correction keep* a large number of intruders from his cell. The visitors were very few in number yesterday, and two of them were there iu response to bis own solicitation. These were bis wife and Mrs. Maginnis. his daughter. They arrived at noon, both dressed in deep mourning. We have no word of defence or apology for Tweed, but he is not the worst man in New York city by long odds. There are plenty at large there and in Wash ington City, especially, who ought to have been where he is years ago. He is an infinitely better man to-day than old Corruption Cameron, or Beast Butler, or a dozen other leaders of tho “moral ideas” party whoso money, and particularly their high standing in, and usefulness to that party, keep them up. If Tweed hail been a Radical the probability is he might hare been at liberty to-day, hold ing his head as high as Butler. Tho man who tried him—Davis—is one of the bitterest Radical partisan* on the bench, and war, besides, once employed as counsel to prosecute the case against him. We are for the punishment of all thieves, but when we see Grant pardon ing Hodge*—who stole from the govern ment nearly a* much as Tweed is alleged to have taken from jhe city treasury of New York—after a few months’ impris onment, wo cannot refrain from thinking that Tweed’s politics had something to do with Davis’ rulings, and bitter per sonal attacks upon him in his charge to the jury. Stkixixu John Pattebsox.—A Colum bia interviewer on behalf of tho Charles ton News and'Conner reports certain rev elation* of Dr. J. T. Moore, concerning his brother-in-law, “ Senator" Patterson, of South Carolina. Moore implicates Pat terson in an extended career of small crimes and petty misdemeanors, such as bribery, perjury, theft and swindling*, beginning!* a striker for Simon Cameron in the Pennsylvania Legislature and winding up with a wholesale purchase of negro votes in the South Carolina Legis lature for his present office of U. S. Sena tor. Moore rays that Patterson boasted to him that he bought the niggers for from one thousand down to fifty dollars apiece, and had no constituency in the State, and was indebted to nothing but his pocket for the office. Patterson is an illustrious Senator, lmt he is a fair repre sentative of the South Carolina govern ment. Coxditiox of ijLBOri Mr. Disraeli appears to have a gloomy opinion of com ing events in Europe. A grant struggle, he apprehends, awaits the climax of the present silent conflict between the spirit ual and temporal powers of the conti nent; and that which is now called the agitation for home rule in Ireland, he in timates, will be nnmasked as a part of the general scheme, the resnlt of which he thinks may be anarchy. While noth ing would be particularly astonishing in these days of sudden revulsions it must be admitted that Mr. Disraeli is speculat ing in rather an atrab-lious vein, and talks very much as though he had been dreaming of spectres and other "chimera* dire." Europe is fall of element* of strife, no doubt; but civilization is pro gressive, and it will be a hard thing to produce anarchy anywhere now in any considerable degree. SiAXcrrr of Game.—The Ecfaula News rays the first of the season gave promise of an abundance of game during the winter. This was particularly the case with reference to docks. It now j to a neighbor’s house where they had cie wa* also sent after, and arrived a half hour later. Efforts were at once made to give Malone some medicine, which he, however, resisted so violently that no success was hnd. Malone knocked a glass f rom the hand of Hinton, one of the guards, anil declared that, though he wasn't strong, he would make them feel it, “if I get my teeth upon you.” Upon consultation tho doctors decided that, considering the time elapsed since taking the poison, the strength manifested by him and other reasons, that danger was past and ho would recover. They then left. About 3 o'clock he was heard to call for Wise, and tho guard J. W. Owen saying that Wi64 had gone to bed, Malone said “it is hot important. I only want to tell John Wise that I have taken my second dose.” Shortly after, he was heard speaking to hi* little tarrie dog, and.these were the last words he wa* heat'd to utter: "Jamp up into my bed, if you want to.” A little later, the guard discovered that he was apparently in a stupor, and called np Captain Anderson. Upon examination this was found to be true, and Dr. Logan was ngnin sent for, arriving about daylight. Antidotes were quickly administered, but Malone con tinued in a state of stupefaction gasping for breath til! four minutes to 11 o'clock, when tho pulse stopped and Malone lay dead. On Thursday jiight, between jnine and ten o'clock! Alalong S$kt a" meaeage to John Wise, tlu)' jailor, saying that lie desired to see Mm. This wa* ling heforo- it was thought that he either had any poison upon his person, or even contem plated suicide. Wise went .immediately to the cell, and found him. as usual, pacing nervously no and down, • with his pipe in his mouth. Jim Hicton, one of the guard, was also present during this interview. Malone then delivered to Wise the following nuncupative will. He stated to Wise t hat he first desired his littlo dog to be given to “ Sister Regiss.’ We take occasion to state hero that this “ Sister Regiss ” is one of n number of Sisters of Mercy who havo frequently vis ited Malone during his imprisonment. We give her name us nearly os it was re membered at the jail. The dog is n small black and tan terrier.. It was given to Malone by Wise some time in lostiFcbru- ary, and has remained with him ever since in his cell. The greatest attach ment existed between this dog and his unfortunate master. In speaking of him the tears were standing in Malone’s eye3, while in delivering no-other part of the will did he exhibit the slightest feeling. Since tho death of its master, the little dog has been whining unceasingly and hunting for him through the jail. His mattress and blankets he desired to be given to Mr. Harry Lewis, a fellow prisoner, with whom he had been very intimate. The blanket was something of a bequest, as it was unusually heavy, and made of very fine material. His watch, which was an ordinary silver watch.-he desired to be given to Mr. W. L. Clifton)'also a fellow-prisoner and a comrade.* His crockery, glass-ware, spoons and a fork (the latter were of silver! he bequeathed to Aunt Eliza Hill. This Eliza Hill is an old negro woman, who is well known about the jail, and who did Malone’s cooking and washing. Malone never lived on tho prison fare. He had his meals sent to him regularly. HU sheets, towels, clothing, of which he was woll provided, and also his trunk, he told Wise to send directly to hU parent*. Mr. Wise has faithfully observed the re quests. Tho trunk and contents were sent off at four o’clock yesterday after noon to tho residence of Mr. DeWitt Sey mour, on Pryor street, where his parents are staying. All of Malone’s other lega cies were also sent off during the after noon, except the little dog. Yesterday afternoon Wise received, through Colonel W. H. Betts, a message from Malone’s afflicted father, iu which the lat ter instructed him to carry out the son’s will to the very letter. After the inquest had been completed the body was washed and neatly dressed in a full suit of black taken from the trunk. A fine coffin was furnUhcd by hU friends hero, into which the body was placed, and de livered to Mr. Betts about three o’clock. The coffin was provided with a solid sil ver plate, upon which was inscribed “Milton Malone, born in Columbus, Ga., in 1842; died in Atlanta, Ga., November 28,1873.” This plate was furnished l).v Mr. Seymour, who. we learn, is an old family friend of the Maloae3.

So when he gathered bis crops he put them in houses a* usual, and then took liU axe and knocked all tho boards off the top. tore down the door, and pushed out the gable end.

Special to the Courier-Journal.] WASiiixoToir, November 20.— Tho transfer of tlio' Spanish negotiation from Madrid to Washington, which was ren dered necessary by the incapacity of Min ister Sickles to deal with so grave a mat ter, has imposed extraordinary labor upon tho Spanish legation here. Last night the prospects of an agreement between tho two governments were considered very bright indeed. They had agreed already upon every point but one, namely, the surrender of the Virginius to the United States, Spain claiming that the question of her right to the protection of the Amer ican flag should bo first established. It is believed that a suggestion has been made to refer this question of the le gality of the capture to arbitration with an arrangement for tho United State to hold the vessel meantime subject to the decision of the arbitrators; but the State Department refuses positively to accept this solution of the question. Mr. Fish was confident that the remaining point would be yielded by tho Spanish Govern ment. The surrender of the Virginius is really of los3 consequence than other points already yielded at Madrid, and it is probable that the Spaniards are only making a show of fight on this issue in order to make it appear that they did not yield too readily to tho American de mands. At auy rate, the concession will be insisted on by Mr. Fish as indispensa ble to any settlement, even at tho cost of war. minister du bkrnabe’s dispatch. The task of writing and transmitting after nine o’clock last night an unusually long dispatch into cipher necessarily oc cupied some, time, and it was not until very late that Admiral Polo do Bemabe completed the transmission over the wires. This dispatch is now before the Spanish Cabinet for their acceptance or rejection of the settlement which it con tains. However unpalatable the sur render may be, it is‘ believed that the Castolar Ministry havo really made up their minds to yield to tho American demand rather than lose Cuba, and that this decision will bo speedily communi cated to this Government. The limit fixed by tho American Government will expire to-morrow night; but whether it is in the highest degree probable that a pacific solution will have been reached of a quostion which has brought the two nations to the*verge of war. Even if tho difficulty be settled, it is still probable that Secretary Robeson will proceed with the work of putting the Gulf squadron in an efficient condition, so os to make more easy the work of the Spanish authorities in carrying out the concessions to Amer ica, and also exhibit to tho volunteers the perils or resistance. CONSEQUENCES TO THE SPANISH REPUBLIC. There has been much speculation re cently upon the consequence of conces sions by the Castelar government; and it has been positively stated that they would be overthrown, and that any con cessions or convention made by them would bo repudiated by their successors in office, thus making war finally*inevi- table. These prophesies are believed to be erroneous as respects the power of the Castelar Ministry to maintain itself; and even if they are overthrown, it is deemed probable that their successors, rather than lose Cuba, would say that they were not responsible for what their predeces sors had yielded, but that they would not disturb accomplished facts, but would maintain Spanish honor in the future. WAITING FOR THE REPLY. Up to quite a late hour to-night the Government had no definite intelligence from Madrid; and it is doubted whether the final answer will come before to morrow. Mr. Fish’s house this evening has been besieged in vain by enterpris ing newspaper correspondents. This de lay in getting news from Madrid is by no means an unfavorable indication, aili there is nothing known to dinimish the strong confidence felt in official circles last evening of a successful result to the negotiation. Africa in the Dress Circle. Civil rights are scandalized by distinc tions against color even the capital of Ohio. Says a dispatch from that city: Several nighlf* ago, Richird Porter, a negro, presented’ himself and girl to the doorkeeper of the Athemeum with two tickets for reserved seats in the parquet. The doorkeeper stopped him, and, going to the box-office, exchanged the tickets for $1 50, the price paid for them. Porter refused the money and left in no happy frame of mind. Yesterday he met the doorkeeper on the street, and after de claring that he had insulted him in re fusing, his tickets, knocked him down and beat him terribly. For this Porter wa3 fined $14. Manager Sargent declares that the admission of colored people to the parquet of his theater will injure his business, and this being the case he him a perfect right to exclude any person or class of persons. Mr. Sargent has suc ceeded in building np a splendid busi ness for the Athenseun, and his patrons regret that any ’question of frhia character has arisen. The Springleid rifle lia? been adopted as the most effec tive arm for the use of the service. Additional appropriations are asked for putting the militia in good trim; for providing the army with a proper supply of small arms; a site is asked for a powder magazino and for a grand arsenal, and the sale of several of the smaller arsenals is recommended. The effectiveness of the Signal Bureau is set forth at some length. Synopsis Weather Statement. Office Chief Signal Officer, 'J Washington.

He says that Cuba is perfectly indiffer ent as to whether the United States at tempts an invasion of the island. If she doe3 she must k.ke the consequences. The same number of the Elcronista pub lishes a long and infi immatory article, urging the Spanish government to main tain a bold attitude toward this country, and to show itself capable of governing Cuba; for the editor asserts that the United States would otherwise invade Cuba without declaring war against Spain, and on pretense o! re-establishing in the island the authority of a peninsula. The five points which o:u* Government has presented to Spain are denounced as humiliating and inadmissible. * Activity at the. Brooklyn Navy Yard. In spite of assurances of a pacific cli max to the Spanish difficulty, there is no change in affairs at the Brooklyn navy yard, and great activity in preparation for sea of all war ships' continues. The work of painting of the exterior of the frigate Colorado, were finished this even ing, and all three of her masts are now in their proper position. The Colorado is literally covered with workmen. She will be finished and ready to leave the yard by the latter part of next week. The torpedo bait Alarm was towed from the yard last evening, and now lies be paid *o tho families or relatives of the prisoners who were shot, is also to bo settled in a similar manner. This decision was not arrived at by the Government before it had confidentially consulted with the powers of Europe *nd was informed by all of them that repara tion was duo for tho capture of the steamer and the execution of tho captives. The decision is also in conformity with the opinions of leading Spanish states men of all parties to whom tho question was submitted by the Government. Tho Loss of tho Missouri.

Pearsons late of Liverpool steamer Mis souri, arrived in New York yesterday from Nassau with ICO passengers cued by the British ship Cherub and sent to New Orleans via Key West.

Lewes, Del., November 29.—A special says during the storm which the monitor Manhattan encountered on Thursday, compelling her to put back, the eea swept clean over her iroin stem to stern, upset ting tho men at tho wheel and carrying away the log book. A leak was sprung under the turret, through which water poured in with alarming rapidity. Commander Yates expected tho moni tor would go down, and ordered the boats to bo cleared and life buoys distributed. Subsequently tho monitor became easier, but being in a leaky condition—her bilge pumps having become choked, and every thing and everybody drenched through— it was decided best to return to the Dela ware Breakwater, and givo up going to Key West.

Washington, November 29.—The ne gotiations between the United States and Spain with regard to the capture of the Virginius were brought to a conclusion to-day. Secretary Fish and Admiral Polo having agreed upon and signed a proto col, which the latter soon after tele graphed to his Government. f As conflicting statements hare ap peared in the newspapers regarding the intelligence received la3t night and also to-day, it can now be positively stated that the terms are substantially as follows : First—The immediate delivery to the United States of the ship Virginius and all the surviving passengers and crew. Second—A salute to our flag on the 25th of December next, unless, in the meantime, Spain shall satisfy the United States that the American flag was im properly borne on that vessel, and further, that she had no right to the American flag or to American papers.
