The Vintage in France. — The Lon
don News has the following account of
the vintage prospects in a letter from
the South of France, from a private and
perfectly reliable source:
After a series of bad years caused by
the ravages of the cidium, we consider
that the disease has nearly disappeared.
The dryness of the temperature during
the summer, which has proved injuri
ous to cereals and other produce, has
been favorable to the vine. The fruit
is abundant and perfectly developed by
the heat, so that in spite of our having
been obliged to destroy many old vines
inconsequence of their having been at
tacked by the disease, we anticipate a
vintage equalling the average years of
the old time. Picking for red wine has
begun generally, and we have every
reason to believe that the red wines of
1858, will be in excellent quality, pos
sessing flavor, body and color in a high
degree. As to white wines,the vintage
is later than in tiie case of red, and
will not begin before the end of this
month, and will continue throughout
October,

Proverbs, £Oth diopter.
BY EVA ST. CLAIR.
All-gracious Father throned above,
Fountain of peace, content and love,
Look down in condescension mild,
Behold ard hear thy trusting child.
Father, thy every wish is pure,
Thy convent gave a shield secure.
Beyond thy pledge I nought require,
Thy will my two-fold calm desire.
Vain things, vain thoughts remove afar.
Joys that my heavenward race would bar,
Shut from my spirit fruitless guile,
My heart let falsehood ne’er defile.
Save me from poverty, from w ant,
from grinding need, from hunger gaunt,
Save me from wealth’s corrupting u.iss,
The height that towers from the abyss.
Give me not wealth’s o’ergrewn supply,
Lest I be full, and thee deny,
Trusting in my abundant hoard,
And finally ask, Who is the Lord 'r
Nor give me penury to feel,
Lest faithless I become aod steal, *
Murmur with lips or hcari profane,
Or swear thy awful name in vain
Father be thou my portion good.
And feed me with convenient food,
Forecasting hclf through life impart,
And day by day, renew my heart.

{-From the Savannah New . 1901.]
Eutonton and Madison Railroad
Madison, Ga., Oct. 14, 1858.
Wm. T. Thompson, Esq. —Dear Sir .
Several prominent citizens of Putnam
connty are anxious for a connection with
the Georgia Railroad from Eatonton
■with this place, and are willingto grade
the road on liberal terms. Not much
has been said about it in Morgan
county—yet the general feeling is in
favor of it, A connection with Savan
nah direct from this place, would ma
terially benefit your city, the Central
Railroad, and the country above this!
place: Our cotton could go direct with- i
out changing cars ; our merchandise |
could come up in the same way. There j
is no twenty miles of road which can -
be built cheapur in the State of Georgia,
as there is not a bridge necessary on the ’
route—and fewer culverts than usually
required Our county would trade with
Savannah, if this road was built-- the
value of the road from Eatonton would
be materially advanced, and a vast
amount of interior produce would find
its way there, which now goes to Charles
ton. You have lived in our town and
can hear us testimony to the fact. At
the request of several of our citizens I
write this, to see if a movement cannot
be made to carry out the measure. It
might be wise to call a meeting at Ea
tonton, next month, to adopt measures
to carry out the enterprise. Will you
please notice it in your journal as early
as you can ? Morgan.

“Send him to » Teacher who Knows
how to Govern without the Rod.’’
We copy the above extraordinary lan
guage from an article on the Physical
Training of Children, in the Chronicle fy
’ Sentinel of the Bth inst., by some one
writing from Madison, Ga., and sign
ing himself W. S. M. We do not know
the writer ; but his locality renders it
. probable that the article may have ema
nated from some practical teacher,
whose opinions, therefore, seem enti
tled to respectful notice. The theme
1 being inviting to us, we, “on sight,”
commenced reading it ; we read with
some interest, endorsing, in the main,
the writer’s views, in reference to the
policy that ought to be pursued in train
‘ i ing young children, till we came to the
1 sentence we have quoted, which arrested,
1 not only our attention, but our farther
1 progress. Pausing, wc reviewed ; doubt
' ing what the writer’s idea really was.—
a We thought there was some figure of
r speech employed; ellipsis or irony one.—
r But, in instruments of doubtful import,
we believe it a safe canon of interpre
tation to make the writing interpret
itself. Its spirit and scope must be con
sidered. Applying this rule, we con
’ elude the author wishes to he under-
stood to repudiate, the rod in the dis-
I cipline of school. This, we infer from
his well-meant, but excessive solicitude
. for the physical comfort of tire “ young
■ immortals.” On this interpretation, we
join issue, believing the idea to be radi
cally false, and the promulgation of it
subversive of all law and order,) not in
the schoolroom merely, but in the do
mestic circle, and in society generally,
i In our humble opinion, the doctrine is j
equally at war with the teachings of 1
: history and Revelation ; and we must!
i confess it is difficult for us to conceive j
' how one versed in either, especially
one acknowledging the authority of the !
! latter, can seriously entertain suclr a |
> \notim. It may look “ fine” in theory—
' j the government of this world by mo
[ j ral suasion : and it may be that when
j the apocalyptic vision shall become
history, and the days of the mellenial
j glory are “fully come,” that all law and
j penal codes may be abrogated with im-:
jpunity and safety; nevertheless, we
I think better phases of fallen human na- ]
ture must be developed before v:e should j
subscribe to this doctrine or become a |
! voluntary party to any such compact, i
|We regard this idea of banishing the j
rod from the schoolroom, as one fanght j
with infinite mischief; subversive of!
every principle of sound discipline ; one |
of the fruits of an ago disposed to al- j
low itself the largest measure of in- j
dulgence; when rational liberty is de
graded to unbridled licentiousness. —
l
The abolition of Capital Punishment;
Negro Slavery, the Sabbath and the
1 Marriage Institution, are only higher
developments of the same principle,
and we imagine W. S. M. would demur
If he could be convinced that these are
, but logical sequences of his idea of
governing children without the rod. —
As a practical teacher, we repudiate the
doctrine, and will never compromise
our sense of duty or dignity by pledg-
I ing ourself not to employ the rod
j whenever, in our sober j udgment, ths
1 case demands it. We make this de- -
claration in view of testimony ; in
view of fifteen years’ experience as a h
teacher ; in vi*w of the corroborating j.
testimony of a large majority of our 1
most efficient teachers ; in view of the j
history of government ; in view of hu- ,
man depravity, total or otherwise ; and ]
lastly, in view of the express declara j
tions of scripture which, in absence of;
all other testimony, should put a quietus \
upon the subject forever. Were we j I
not afraid of appearing egotistic, by :;
becoming “ hero of our own romance,” j j
we would read W. S. M. a chapter or j |
two of our experience, where we have j l
invoked the aid of the rod, as a dernier \'
resort, with very satisfactory results. — ;.
We are aware that by avowing ourself ;
an advocate for this “ terror of evil i
doers ” we stand charged by the writer j
whose view's we a:e combatting, with a : ,
want of sense ; and should the world agree j j
with him, we should lose all patronage, j
Be it so ; be it so ! Where principle is j
involved, we care nothing for personal j
results ; we prefer to be abandoned of J
patronage rather than principle. But I
we are not afraid of the issue, if he ap- ]
peals to the highest tribunal in a Re-1 1
public—the people. We have seen the j
moral suason principle tried in schools,
well nigh to their ruining—to say noth- j
ing of the defeat of the teacher and the |
dissatisfaction of those who have been j
foolish enough to favor such a mode of j
government.
Both have, in the end, repudiated j
j their own bantling. Publish to the
I world that “in no case will corporal
jpunisbment be employed,” and you
place immunity, if not a “premium,”.
| upon mischief and crime, as all will
.acknowledge,unless, perchance, he gets j
| wise above what is written and denies j
; that “folly is bound in the heart of aj
child, but the rod will make it depart
{from him." We intended to draw ex
tensively from the Scriptures, which are
| a perfect magazine upon this subject : a
| tribunal from which, we presume, few
j will dare appeal. But we shall not do
[so at present. Feeling ourself fully
j sustained by experience—the best mas
ter in all things—by the experience of
[others—by the history of society—we
■hall not do so, as this species of argu
ment savors in the minds of many of
the logic of the schoolmen. Let facts
■peak for themselves ; and having the
facts on our side, we pitch such shallow
philantbrophy to—to—we hardly dare
say what our judgment pronounces;
we say, let those who will, amuse them
' selves with such philosophy as a foot
I ball.
The tendencies of the age as well as
’ the “betterdays’' when men “endured
sound doctrine,” are happily expre sed
K by the poet in the following quotation
in which, though the term rod is not
employed, the meaning is patent. "With
’ this we close for the present.
••In colleges and halls, in ancient clays,
- There dwelt a sage called Discipline,’
, His eye was meek and gentle, and a smile
- Played on his lips ; and iu his speech was heard
Paternal sweeine.-s, dignity amt love
The occupation de rest to*his heart
r Was to encourage goodness. Learning grew
Beneath his care, a thriving, vigorous plant.
The mind was well informed, the passions held
. Subordinate, delligcuce was choice.
If e'er it chanced, as sometimes c anre it must,
f That oiu*, among so many, over leaped
The limits ol' control, his gentle eye
Grew stem and darted a severe rebuke.
, His form was full of terror, and his voice
Hook the delinquent with such fits of awe
■ As lclt him not till penitence had won

We beg that the transition from the
- reign of legal to moral suasion be care
. fully marked. Italics ours.

O’er looked and unemployed, grew sink and dial.

And rartuc lied The school became a scene

Railroad to Tyree.—We were shown
' yesterday, by Mr. Erl ward Stiles, keep !
i er of Tybee Light house, a project and
. draft of a railroad from the city to the J
northeastern point of Tybee Island.—-
The route is said to be entirely practica 1
i j ble and at a small cost, while the ob
■ijects to be attained are a delightful
I summer retreat for our citizens, and by !
I I the addition of a breakwater of no
■ | great cost, a safe harbor in the South !

our citizens. —Savannah Republican, 19tA

tion and thought—derives immediate benefit
from the use of this Cordial, which atoncecalms.
invigorates and regulates the shattered nervous
organization.
Females who have tried it are unanimous in
declaring the Elixir to be the greatest boon that
woman has ever received from the Lai ds of
medical men.
Morse’s Invigorating Elixir has a direct, im
mediate aud astonishing effect upon the appetite
While it renews the strength of the digestive
powers it creates a desire for the solid material
which is to be subjected to their action. As an
appetiser it has no equal in the Pharmncopia. j
If long life and the vigor necessary to its en
joyment are desirable, this medicine is indeed ol i
precious worth
Its beneficial efleets are not confined to either!
sex or to any age. The feeble girl, the ailing
wife, the listless, enervated youth, the overworn l
man of busiuess, the victim of nervous depres- i
sion, the individual suffering from general de
bility or from the weakness ot a single organ
willall find immediateand permanentrelit f from
the use of this incomparable renovator. To
those who have a predisposition to paralysis it
will prove a complete aud unfailing safe guard
against that terrible m alady. There are many
perhaps who have so trilled with their constitu
tion that they think themselves beyond the reach
of medicine. Let not even those despair. The
Elixir deals with disease as it exists, without re
ference to the causes, aud will not only remove
the disorder itself, but rebuild the broken con
stitution

seems to be some wonderful healing virtues in
this medicine to acquire such an extended repu

These diseases are Liver Complaints, or llieir

with it has been short, and not personal, but we
have seen its extraordinary effects in a lew cases
of jaundice, biliiousness and general debility, l

—Hoxesdalk Co., Penn., Jan. 10, 1850—Mr.
Seth W Fowls—Sir : You are at liberty to use
the following statement for the benefit of the af
flicted :
I was attacked with the Liver Complaint,
{ which apparently brought me to the brink ol;
I the grave. During my sickness I was atteuded
by three physicians iu our place, but received
no help. I also tried the various remedies re
commended for such complaints, but they af
forded me no relief. As a last resort, 1 was
persuaded to try Wistar's Balsam, of Wild
Cherry , and by using lour bottles I was restored
to better health than I have enjoyed before for
ten years. This statement may be relied upon
as strictly true. Betsey Perkin.
The above certificate wa3 given iu the pro
! seucc of I).\ A. Strong, ot Honcsdale, who is well
known in his vicinity as a successful practitioner.
