•I have now reached the"sccond part of iny
subject, tfle culture and growth of the mind.
What is tht objectV>f mental education? It.is
to } man for society by making *him
asreeable and useful. o One who is merely
agreeable is like a flower without odor, arid’
never dto-tined to berfr o fruit; one who is onlv
useful the fairest qualifications for th?

Tounded, for th* more cencerned a person is for
th'.ie around.him the mcae they 3re*concerned
for him. Some,>’l have no doftbt, will be surprised
ntfhe a>scrtion, that a hearty and rigid discipline
is sulwtary to the mind, and calculated to’ren
yler maq amiable. Some, of #ur modern itj-
Si-ructors so affable? cjourttious and complaisant,
may, perhaps, gVant it the possibility of form
ing a man, destined to trace in fehe field of hu
man action, a few fprr.ows, laboriously wrought,
capable of bringing forlh fruit, but. never pro
dacing flowers. To dissipate such prejudice,
lt-t us cast ohr eyeff*upon our general,.system of
. education; and the.exposure*of” theyeality may
• incline us to appreciate, .and seek *th*at hardy

We see it stated in the New York Herald,
that, on the 4th of March, Mr. Gregory, 0 in the
British House of Commons, “gave notice that
on an early day he would call the attention of
her Majesty's Government to the expediency
of a prompt “recognition of the Southern Con
federacy of America.”
Mr. Gregory is from Galway, in Ireland, and
a director in the steamship line from Galway
°to New York, and he may extend his line to
some of the Southern ports.
The Paris Moniteur says that the recently
adopted Morrill tariff act of the United Stnteß,
; whereby French and European goods will be
uxcluded from Northern ports, will be a promi
nent influence in the recognition of the inde’
pendence of the Southern Confederate States.

ed up in the mind, to be used whenever occa
sion or inclination calls for it. A newspaper is
not the wisdom of a man or two men: it is the
wisdom of the age—of past ages, too. A fa
mily without a newspaper is always half an age
behind the times in general, information ; be
sides they never think much, or find much
think about. And there are the little ones
growing up in ignorance without a taste for
reading. Besides all these evils, there’s the
wife who, when her work is done, has to sit
down with her hands in her lap, and nothing
to amuse her mind from the toils and cares of
the domestic circle. Who would be without a
newspaper ?
Though an action be ever so glorious in it
self, it ought not to pass for great, if it be not
the effect of wisdom and good design.

° TJie Cat after the® Rnth.
The Richmtjnd Despatch says: “The town
is all agog over a most amusing caricature of
Lincoln and c the seceding States, in which the
Yormer is represented as a ferocious looking cat
with one paw on that unfortunate rat, Virginia,
while the rest of her sisters are scampering
for dear life. South Carolina leads „the race,
Mississippi and Georgia are next, APabamaand
Florida are going neck and neck, then comes ,
Louisiana, whilst Texas has barely escaped the
right paw of Grimalkin, which nearly touches
the tail of the fugitive prey. In ohe corner is
a large rat lying.on the fiat of his back, with i
head off, the United States flag waving over him
and beneath the inscription, “The'Union must
and shall be preserved.” Virginia is held fair
ly in the cat’s sinister paw, w hilst out of bis
mouth comes the words: “Nothing is going
wrong. Nothing really hurts anybody. No
body is suffering anything,” and the unhappy
victim conso’es himself with the acclamation,
“We can go out on the 4th of July as well as
the 4th of March.” This capital production
is, we understand, the production of an accom
plished young lady of our city, who gives fine
promise of success as an artist.”
Knowledge can not be acquired without

hensive, as matters now *tan‘d, of seripifs 10-lcs
to its trcasiyy from the dkersioa Ibrgigm
.imports tojlic South, the Government at Wa.-h
---->ington is mustering a furmkkable honip S'juad?
ron of war vessels for the purpose of*<jnfor<ing
ports©ur Northery tariff law. To
overeoffie.tliis difficult?.* the Houthcrn Canimfs
sioijeFß will say to*Lord and uis
you have flnly to’eredgniac flic inde

htbekade by the I nited States of oqr ports will

Washington : hall h#ve declared war agair;-t us,
,and, as in tjiat contingency, scVen or eight fill
er Southern Staten stand* ready tfl jojn tis, you
need not have any fear of the fftia? issue, tir af
, the suspension oi'the cotton culture by the
march of hostile armies over our plantations. °
Upoifthe case thus fresented, we think t
probahleyimt England and France may choose
to’ pay thirty or forty millions a yea* in’ the
differences in duties upon their goods,
North and South, to sustain the Government at -
Washington and our Northern manufacturers.
Let our N<?rthern manufacturers, merchants,
financiers men of t-a*pital and real est.-ite,
and our industrial classes qf alk discriptions,
prepare, tEcn, for .the full practical develop- .
rnent r>f this Soutiien* political .revolution in
the transfer pf aq immense amount of qur Nor
thern Atlantic trade *to the South direct from”
Europe.* In addition to kins, our Northern manU
ufactnrers, uyder a Southern tariff, taxing alike
Norfiher? and European imports, will abso- •
, hitely excluded frqp the Southern Confedera
cy,and thus a home market of many millions in
value to our ‘Yankee notions’ will f<c closed to us;
B for Engleijd,Frayce and Germany will supply it.
.We have thus pretty broadly outlined before
lls an impending Northern financial revulsion
of the most fearful magnitude—a revulsion,in
which banks, merchants,* financiers, stockjob
l*;rs, corporations and individuals, high and
low, rich and poor, w?li be prostrated, ffftftn
New‘York, Westward, to San Francisco, aiuL
northward to Hudson’s Cut, stiH worse. ■
a thousand, times worse, wo are menaced with .
all the calamities of Qvil war and Mcxican’an- ”
archy. Anti what are the crimes for which \*e
are threatened such fearful penalties? The
efimos of a mock philanthropy* of a reckless
fanaticism, of a persistent intermeddling in our
; neighbors’ affairs, of religions hypocrisy, of
bad foith tQ,our political brethren, of political
corruption, of brazen-facqd demagogueism, and
of a morbid “demoralization of the Northern
‘°mind upon this thing of Southern slavery, which
has brought about the disruption of the most
prosperous itfid and naturally th^
freffest country under th°e sun.
* We have had some experience irp financial
revulsions from tijne to time. But they hate
resulted from the exhausting* process of‘a waj
with some foreign Power, or i'roni the overthrow ‘
of a financial systenf like that of the United
States Bank, and the substitution of shin°plas
ters; or from excessive overtrading* speculating,
stockjobbing and swindling, as in 1857; but
wc have still to experience the more terrible
pressure of a financial prostration resulting from
a radical and comprehensive political revolu
tion. This is the trouble with which we are
now menaced; and as we look in vain for any
manifestations of wisdom at Washington equal
to the exigencies of the crisis, we can only ad
monish our fellow-citizens of the North, of all
pursuits, all conditions, and all classes, to pre
pare for the worst. We leave the Southern
’ Confederacy to take care of itself.
