General Leo and Prolessors Minor and Dabney liavo published an address upon the subject of education, which is so judicious, practical and sensible in its views, that we transfer it to our columns. It will well re pay an attentive perusal by every person who is interested in the educational training of children. The address is as follows : The undersigned have been appointed, by the “Educational Association of Yirginin,” a committee to address yon on their behalf, “ urging yon to a more hearty cooperation, with teachers, in matters of instruction, dis cipline,” &c. The benefits which would be secured to education, and the aid which would be af forded teachers by such co-operation, would be very great; as all who have any experience on the subject must be aware ot the obstacles at the very threshold of education, arising from the want of proper family management. If, therefore, they can be removed, much tins sort, their real intent is s; good will be attained. Since the teacher is "i.'sipr? Moves for an Injunction.

LETTER FROM “WARWICK.” ThoQue.tion of Adjournment—The Question of Im peachment—The Kingdom of Canada. ■Washington, 3Iarch 17, 1807. There are no signs of an adjournment of Congress, and it seems probable that the mucb-tnlkcd-of recess may not be taken till tho end of April. Tho new members, both in Senate and House, arc exceedingly unwil ling to go home, and all the members, new and old, have drawn their usual quantity of stationery, Ac., for a short session, i.c. three months. The principal tilings that the Radi cals arc anxious about, is to see how the President will carry out the provisions of the Military Government bill, and bow the bill itself, and the supplementary act, will work in tlie Sooth. It would be dreadful, they say, to adjourn how, if, in the course of the month of April and May, after they got ltomc, they should hear that the President was.not exe cuting tho law in good faith, or that the ne - groes were voting as their former masters wished them to do. On tho other band, they say. if they will only have patience to stay hero till tho 1st of May, their presence will have a salutary effect upon the President’s action, and by that time it will be clearly seen bow the measure will work. Ever since tho 4th of March, too, the new Judiciary Committee have been hard at work, and the impression very generally prevails that they have got very nearly to the end of their la bors, and will send in their final report, em bracing the formal articles of impeachment, about the middle of April. It is then sup posed that Congress will make the necessary preliminary arrangements and then adjourn, putting off the actual trial of the impeach ment until October next. As regards all siories of tho impeachment measure having been abandoned, Ac., place na reliance in them. It is true, the committee have not got tho least shred of evidence to support the im peachment But they have any quantity ol »chat they call evidence, and they will make the most of that. I enclose a copy of the Sappicmentary Mil itary (joveriiJiiClU bill, Allien wife passed by the Senate a few minutes ktfrfo nriftriigHt, last night. It will go to the Ilous£, ttod trill pass there also, but it is thought with some amendments. I have no heart to mate any comments on any such measure. Mr. Simon Cameron, the able Senator from Pennsylvania, has signalized his return to the Senate by introducing a resolution instruct ing the Committee ou Foreign Relations to inquire “ what steps arc necessary to prevent foreign governments from introducing upon this continent institutions and governments contrary to those established by tbe founders of this republic.” Mr. Cameron evidently contemplates some action concerning tbe Ca nadian confederation project. The Cana dian people have seen fit to unite their provinces into one nation, and to choose a monarchy as their lorm of government, with one of the sons ol Queen Victoria for their king. Of course, the Canadian peo ple have the right to form a government to suit themselves, just as the Mexican people had in 1863-’64, when they, teo, chose a mon archy. Yet we have denied this right to the Mexicans, and have done all in our power to break up the government which the Mexican people established; and now.it seems, accord ing to the arguments of Mr. Cameron and Mr. Banks, we must go into Canada and dic tate to the Canadian people what kind of a oavernment they shall have.

From the Xcvr York Time#, IStli.] A desire to provide for tlie future of the Republican party has unquestionably contri buted not a little to the difficulties that sur round the reconstruciiou policy of Opograsa. Tho fact has been espicially noticeable in the tedious progress of the Supplementary Bill through the Senate. There has been a sufficient want of confidence not oniy in tho temper of tho Southern whites, but in the sufficiency ofnny conceivable menus to pre vent some accidental disadvantage so that portions of the Southern people >n whom the Radicals rest their hope of the future. Certain of our extremist cotemporaries have not digested their views on tiio subject. They have made no secret of their anxiety so to work tho machine that it sh ill turn out majorities of Republican ballot! when the time for voting comes. And though the inven tors of tho many amendments which have been heard of at various stages of the mea sure have discreetly avoided coax “nls of properly to be regarded as the parent’s agent, to assist in the training of liis children, it ap pears obvious, that parents may be best in duced to this important concurrence, by pointing them to the fundamental principles to be observed in the.education of youth. In its broad, comprehensive sense, educa tion embraces tbe physical, moral anti intel lectual instruction of a child, from infancy to manhood. Any system is imperfect which docs not combine them all, and that is best, which, while it thoroughly develops them, abases the coarse, animal affections of human nature, and exalts the higher faculties and feelings. A child has everything to learn, and is more readily taught by having before it good examples to imitate, than by simple precepts. He should therefore, as far as cir cumstances will permit, be encouraged to associate with his parents, for his heart must be affected, his feelings moved, as well as bis mind expanded. He may be taught that it is criminal to steal, and sinful to lie, and vet be unable to apply this knowledge to tlio government of himscll; and it will, therefore, be of no value to him, unless the principle is confirmed into a habit. Obedience is the first requisite ia fatuity training. It should be made sincere and per fect, and to proceed as much from affec tion as a conviction cf its necessity. To ac complish this, great prudence, and the ex ercise of much patience, are necessary. 13v frmness, mixed with kindness, tbe child will leant, by repeated experience, that he is not to follow his first impulse, and that self-con trol, which even an infant can understand, is necessary to his comfort. Neither violence nor harshness should ever be used; and fhe parent nrtfst bear constantly in mind, that to govern his child, he must show him that he can control bitnself: One of the most c6ni- mon errors in the management of children is irregularity of behavior toward them. They arc as skillful, ns pertinacious in their at tempts to gratify their self-will; at one time trying to evade authority, at another to op pose it. If they-once succeed, they arc en couragcd to persevere, and it is necessary for tho parent to meet the first attempt with firmness, and not permit himself to be bafHcd either by evasion or resistance. Although a child may not yield to threats, and may defy punishment, lie cannot resist patient kind ness and gentle admonition. The love ot truth is equal in Importance to habitual obedience. Every encouragement, even to tbe pardoniug of offenses, should be given to its cultivation. The first impulse of tbe mind in children is always to speak the truth rather than falsehood, unless some evil motive arise to sway them to untruth. They should be accustomed to bear the truth always spoken. Confession of error with a detestation of falsehood, dishonesty and equivocation, should be sedulously iuculca- ted. A strict adherence to promises made to them is of the utmost importance, as well as tho removal of all temptation to misconduct. The influences of Christianity form the es sential element of moral character; as its principles arc the only sufficient basis of vir tue or happiness. Hence, the parent’s most sacred duty to his child is to impress the sen timents of our holy religion early upon his mind, by personal "explanation and system, doubt. > The extraordinary anxiety to multiply oaths, and to extend them beyond tho range of swearing, could have proceeded only from this feeling. * * * If the object were to popularize perjury and hypocrisy, nothing could be better. Or if it were to disfranchise the greatest possible number it would be ex actly ia order. But as an agency to be relied upon for promoting healthy reconstruction and the genuine reconciliation of sections, this complicated and vexatious swearing would he worse than futile. Tbe fact that zealous Radicals rely upon it, and interpose it everywhere, seemsto strengthen the suppo sition that they fear the loss of party domi - nation as a result of reconstruction, unless they are allowed to shape legislaiion with a view to partisan rather than patriotic ends. Tbe Election in Nebraska. now COLORED CITIZENS ARE RECEIVED AT THE TOLLS IN NORTHERN STATES. The Omaha Republican of the 5th instant, commenting upon the city election, which took place the day previous, says: One of the greatest outrages ever known in either a civilized or uncivilized communi ty, was perpetrated at the second ward poll, just at its close yesterday. It is a foul blot upon the good name of Omaha, the memory of which it wiil take years to efface.. It had been understood that the colored voters of the city would, for the first time in their lives, offer to exercise their rights as electors conferred on them by the organic law of the Territory, by the statutes of-tlie Territory, and by the act admitting Nebras ka into the Union as a State. 'When people awoke this morning, there were found posted up in innumerable {daces slips of manuscript, so miserably written as to be next to illegi ble, threatening the colored men with death and all manner of violence if they attempted to exercise this lawful right. We have a number of those now in our possession: “Notice to the Negroes of Omaha City the first Black Shin that takes his Stand at the Pollesto' Vote he will get his head Skined to the Bone from his Ene my watch out you g—d d—d black puppy for that pate of yours.” Many thought these threats were not se riously intended. It was not thought possi ble that in this community so great an out rage upon the rights of citizens could be per petrated. But after a quarter past 3 o’clock the roughs from all parts of the city began to appear at the polls of the second ward, and ia perhaps fifteen minutes there were 'THE UNDISCOVERED COUNTRY.

Perhaps a dozen law-abi ding citizens were present, and saw the whole affair with shame ‘and chagrin.- But they were powerless to prevent the outrage and protect the men whose rights were thus furi ously trodden under toot. The officers of the law were called upon by these few to protect the rights of citizens. One or two of them spoke a few words, but every word they said only added to the fren zy of the mob. Tho Mayor said the negroes had no right to vote. The Sheriff said the same thing. A policeman stood upon the These points cover everything.

The last Selma Slessenger makes tbe All owing explanation: Wc copy elsewhere a leading editorial from the 3Iobi!e News, on the meeting held in this city oa Friday last. Had the editor of the News read the com ments of tlie Messenger on that meeting, he would not have labored under the misappre hension of its character and action, indicated in his very bitter condemnation of its pro - ceediugs. The meeting was called by a single person, acting lor himself, and in bis own interest alone, and was composed mainly of the re cently enfranchised Irecdmen of this vicinity. It was attended by Col. White, Judge Co no- ley, and others, gentlemen of ability, of in tegrity, of courage, and of character, and ut terly incapable of being influenced by any selfish or uu worthy considerations, whose ob ject was solely to prevent, if possible, dema gogues from establishing an influence over the new voters of this section which would be used to the injury ot the entire communi ty. This course was taken after consultation with others whose fidelity to the South is as unquestioned as that of themselves or of the editor if the News, against the advice of tlie editors of the Messenger, but with the best intentions, and the purest motives. The objects for which tbe meeting was con vened were explained iu the resolutions which provoked the anathemas of the News, hut they were the objects, not of Judge Cono- ley, or of Col. White, but of the single per son who issued the call, presided on the oc casion, and offered the resolutions, and were not endorsed even by the negroes present, The Fenians. Below is some important information in regard to Fenian matters. We copy from the New York Express of the 10th: The excitement at the Central Headquar ters of the Fenian Brotherhood continues un abated. Anxious faces are still to be found in the passage leading to the offices, and the discussion on the probability of success pur sued with the same intense interest. An important communication was received to-day from tlie Chief Executive of the Pro visional Government cf the Irish Republic, to the effect that tho war had commenced “in earnest,” and that the movement of Irish troops up to the present were merely faints to cover more important ones which would be inaugurated ere many days. It is also stated that the men are in good courage anfl trim for fighting, aud anticipate success. An unofficial statement favors the opinion that an uprising will take place simultane ously in England, Scotland, Wales and Ire land. James Stephens has been in Paris for some time past endeavoring to re-establish himself with the Directories of the I. R. B., but it is believed that tlie members composing the same have refused to confide their interest any longer to his keeping. He is, practical ly speaking, entirely disconnected from the organization, and his capture by the British Government would be, therefore, almost a wnsto of time- An effort is now being made, which, it is believed, will result in a fund of $1,000,000 being established.

We annex 1 his constabulary, arrested, on the arrival of tlie 1 visit to Kistori A correspondent of the Buffalo Commercial Advertiser, writing from Paris, describes the cemeteries of that great city: There are only three cemeteries in Paris, the largest and most celebrated of which is the Perro Lachaise, so called from having been owned by the Jesuit confessor of Louis XIV., Lachaise, who possessed a country res idence on its site. The grounds are about two hundred acres in extent, and, though used as a cemetery only about sixty years, the place is now as crowded as any part of old Paris. The visitor realizes at once the ap propriateness of calling it & “city of the dead,” for it is laid out with paved streets and little sidewalks, very like the great live city whose dead it shelters. Over the greater portion of the tombs are built little chapels of marble, with doors of open iron-work or stained glass, and fitted up inside with altar, crucifix and candles, and one or two chairs, according to the size ot the chapel. There are, besides, a great many magnifi cent monuments, but nearly all the graves, except those with only a simple aud unpre^ tending head-stone, have the peculiarity I have mentioned. From an eminence at the back of the cemetery wc obtained the finest view of Paris, but in the foreground were the crowded streets of the dead city, suggest ing reflections which were, I hope, ap propriate to the spot. There are over twenty thousand monuments in the grounds. If I were to undertake to mention the names of eminent personages whose remains repose here, I would have no room left in this letter fbr anything else. We had only time to visit a few of the most remarkable monuments, and I have not room even to speak of all these. The most interesting spot in the place is tho tomb of Abelard and Heloise, which is a gothic chapel of considerable size, in the style of the thirteenth century, formed out of the ruins of the Abbey of Paraclete, of which Abelard was the founder and Hcloisc the first abbess. The chapel contains the sarcophagus which was constructed by the order of Abelard shortly before his death. It represents the ill-fated pair lying side by side. It is a prac tice with lovers to visit this grave and deco rate it with fresh flowers and wreaths, and it was thickly covered with these offer ings when we saw it. Nearly all the tombs, indeed, were decorated with flowers and wreaths of yellow immortelles. We walked through the quarter set apart as a burial place for the Jews, and stopped at the tomb of the actress, Rachel, which like so many of the others, was a chapel, though of rather larger size than tbe average. The walls were entirely covered with names of visitors scratched on the stone—a very un pleasant sight; yet I dare say a compliment was intended by every one who took the trouble to inscribe his name. Southern State Bonds. “ Delegations from the South are arriving here daily for the purpose of obtaining the views of the President on the Reconstruc tion bill. Gov. Jenkins, of Georgia, tho head of the delegation from that State, will soon be here, and among other important ques tions involved in the operation of fhe bill to which he will call the attention of tho Ad ministration, is the'repudiation of the State debt. Since the close of the war, the Geor gia Legislature passed a law paying the old debt of the State by the issue of new bonds, which being issued under the authority of the present Governments, declared illegal by the bill, are now worthless. All of the South ern States are now in the same predicament, as they have also issued bonds in the same manner.” The above extract is from a Washington letter to one of the New York papers, and we notice it now merely to show that there are questions growing out of the passage of the 3Iilitary bill which will tax Radical in genuity to its utmost limit to settle satisfac torily, besides the elevation of tbe black and the humiliation of the white races. The people of the North own a large amount of the bonds of the Southern States, and they will not quietly and silently submit to being robbed of their property by tlie thoughtless agitators at Washington. Another “ supplemental” bill must be passed to satisfy Northern bondholders, and the Congress must declare valid and binding all laws, orders, judgments, acts and decrees, which have been enacted, passed and ad-, judged in the Legislature and courts of the several Southern States since the commence ment of the. war. Wc shall get through this reconstruction business, we hope, however, in tho course of time. Radical bondholders must not become impatient and restless. Tho “assembled wisdom ” at Washington are not yet ready for another “supplement” just now,—Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel. Ocean Telegraph Competition. The decision of the proprietors of the Atlantic Telegraph Company to postpone any further reduction of their fares will nat urally provoke a keen inquest into the nature and extent of the franchises they now enjoy. In the matter of a lauding privilege at their western terminus, it would seem that they enjoy, or claim to enjoy, very extraordinary rights. From the State of 3Iaine they have the exclusive privilege, in so far as the Legis lature of that State could legally bestow it, for a period of twenty-live years, to land a cable from Europe. Nova Scotia made a similar concession to them, and Prince Ed ward's Island for a period twice as long. How much of the mainland coast further north mny have been alienated to tho Com pany, we do not know. They have certain assumed rights in Labrador; but we should judge they are not of an exclusive nature, as we see it announced that there is anew Com pany in course of formation—if it is not already formed—in London, to construct a rival British line, with an Eastern terminus at some point on the west coast of Scotland. The colonial directors of this new concern are leading men of influence in the Provinces, like Hon. Mr. McDougal, Provincial Secreta ry, and others of his colleagues; and they are not likely to misunderstand the srate of tbe law bearing upon landing privileges on American territory. Jleanwhile, this new British telegraph scheme reminds us forcibly of the impor tance of securing independent telegraphic connection with Western Europe. What progress the line by way of the Antilles with its eastern terminus on the Spanish coast is making, we do not hear. That enterprise had a most liberal charter conceded to it.— And in energetic bands it ought to be get ting into substance and shape. A line con necting us with France, by way of the Azores, is tast becoming a necessity. Its construction is only a question of time. It cannot be be gun a day too soon, provided the proper guarantees are had that it shall be thorough ly international in its character.—New York Times. . the support and co-opcranon which faithful _ . - — The telegram sent by the Emperor Alex- teachers should receive ironi parents can be ! mail train from Cork, John Morrissey, the j Bat Ihavo dor to the Governor General of Eastern Si- easily inferred by the good sense of each one. i celebrated prize fighter and member of the j the whole pet even Ristori—and remained throu;. whole performance of Leah, the fbtsilken Jew- Bevond a doubt, however, Ristori is a sublinu- l.

It says that should the King of Ashantees, or any other distinguished cannibal, come to that city, and desire a fine, tat baby for a luxurious meal, he could be accommodated. These so-called nurseries are numerous, and may be found’ in different parts of the city, their whereabouts being for the most part adver tised in the daily papers; the announcement being made in a manner that disguises, but does not conceal their real import. These places, the largest of which is situated in Greenwich street, answers a double purpose, that of relieving those of the responsibilities of maternity, who do not wish to be so bur dened, and bestowing upon those who wish such blessings, the well spring of pleasure, “a babe in tbe house.” The seeker after infantile loveliness can, upon application, be accommodated to any desired extent; babies from one day to one year old are constantly on band, or provided to order, of any type of beauty or shade of complexion, and at prices ranging from $25 to $200, warranted spund and in a good stato of preservation at tlie time of delivery. A reporter who visited one of these baby bazaar's was offered a sickly little English male infant, 17 days old, with a red, flabby skin, covered with “rash,” for the unreasona ble price of $30. A robust female child, four months old, %va3 exhibited, but the reporter did not inquire the price. A bahy boy, one month old, who was good and gave no trou ble, was held at $7-5: A year and a half old French boy, with fair, round limbs, hazel eyes and curly black hair, was ticketed at $150.

He acquired a wide reputation while yet young in years, for his eloquence and scholarship. He served the Government with marked ability, first as Commissioner to the Sandwich Elands, and subsequently as Minister to Venezuela.

HatniuiU and P. Gilmore. Neither party was hurt, and the soldiers left for the garrison. About 8, o’clock some fiftv soldiers came in town armed with car bines, revolvers aDd sabres. They halted near the Court Hou«c and fired into a crowd of citizens who were standing near the point where the polls were located. Tho citizens drew their revolvers and returned the fire, when a general riot ensued. The soldiers retreated on a run, and the citizens gave pursuit. Tlie soldiers took position at the edge of the town. A guard arrived from the post, and the firing was kept up for some time. The guard arrested several citizens, and started for the garrison. On the way they met Hnmmiil, who had a gun on his shoulder. He was ordered by the guard to lay the gun down, and, oa his refusal, they fired upon him. One ball struck him on the breast to tlie left of the right nipple and came out near the left shoulder blade. The wounded man died in three hours. Among the wounded arc a 3trs. Stewart, who was standing in the door of her own house, shot through her left foot; Thomas Zimmerman, shot through the fore arm, Clashing the hones; Jacob Small, shot through the centre ot tlie right hand; a man named Ilallebaugh, shot in the head, cutting the scalp. All the above were citizens. Two soldiers were wounded; one in the bead, and the other in the leg. The one hit in the head is mortally wounded. For several nights past soldiers have been in town creating much disturbance. There are about four hundred soldiers now nt the post.
