The Iowa patriot. [volume] (Burlington [Iowa]) 1839-1839, 1839-07-04

The Rev. Mr.. Chaudy, the Catholic
priest from, Assum ption, on Lafourche.
and another priest from St. Louis, had
visited the countries Of Refugio and San
Patricio, and were much pleased with the
country, and would each report favorably
e their respective Bishops. Admiral
Baudin was delighted with his visit to the
country, and is determined to repeat it be-
fore he returns to France. He expressed
himself Al very decidedly in favor of Texas;
and IN contrasting it with Mexico, said he
was reminded of the lining and the dead.
On his departure from the coast he hoist
the Texian flag, and kept it flying till the
fleet was out Of sight.

permanently established In Austin Citv,

PUBLIC MORALS.
BOY S DISCIPLINE.

We extract the following excellent re.
marks on the subject of the discipline Of
boys, more especially apprentices from the
Baltimore American.
The effects of the want of domestic dis.
cipline and of professional apprenticeship
in the United States are now too widely
and palpably felt to be any longer disre.
garded. It is the great and pregnant erase
of all the outbreakings in the land. In
vain will the source Of lyuching, moJs
md reckless opinions be found in the
slackness of law, or the spirit of party =
1t is not these.--H is in the want of lam
lily gocerament. the family is the be
ginning, centre, and essential element Of
all human government, and nothing exte-
rior to it can be better or stronger than it.
self. 1t is the seed of all other institu-
tons. What then is the tendency Of that
institution here?--We last week made
some remarks on the evils of divorce, and
its disastrous effects on public morals. Let
us pursue the subject in reference to the
! domestic education of boys. The men of
America feel themselves the freest be-
ings on earth; the wonaen are the happiest
Of their sex. What is the result! The
father, unthinking Of remote consequent
ces, feels that his boy should be as free
and independent as himself. Anything
short of this would of course degrade him.
He cannot. therefore, be punished: for
punishment implies inferiority. He must
be reasoned with. To suchsa doctrine
the mother, Of course, assents. Her heart
overfows with tenderness, and especially
to her little Johnny, who was always her
pet. Besides Johnny was always a sick
ly boy, and everybody knows couldn' Il
bear much.'' This is The family doctrine,
and the school law is the same. ..No tea
cher shall fog my boy "What must
do, Sir!" s.You must reason with him. y
This very reasonable doctrine is laid down
by man whose acquaintance with hu.
man life has taught him that Of all unres-
sonable beings in the kingdom Of nature, a
wild, willful boy is the most so. But
the doctrine stops not here. A man ut
terly unable to educate his, children pro-
perly, refuses to app,'entiee them where

ITEMS FROM TEXAS,

DR.. Page and professor Riddell of this
city, have .iuss returned from an excursion
up the Trinity, where they have been,
under the direction of the s.'Trinity coal
and mining company. to examine the
coal mines, salt works, mineral springs,
&C., which are so abundant in that de-
| lightful region They found the coal beds
very promising in the neighborhood Of
Osceola, a new town located upon the
lands of DIR. Page, just above the Bidais.
and free stone of the finest texture and
color, which forms bluff upon the river
at this place. They are enabled to con-
tradict the remark, SO confidently made
by Gen. Dearborn in his late letter from
the west that no lake exists upon this con-
tinent south Of 4lo, except in Florida; for
very extensive, clear and beautiful sheets
of water were discovered in the highlands
near this river, Astounding with fish of the
greatest variety: and in one Of them, the
nynsphs odoratd, or the beautiful pond IL
ly of the north, was in full bloom, filling
the air withits fragrance. .#
Professor Riddell collected several hum
dred new varieties of plants and flowers
which he intends to distribute to his cor.

dered Stanley assistance, and knew his

INTERESTING ACCOUNT OF
MALTA AND THE MALTESE.

The ease with which mere animal life
may be sustained in Malta, tends to en-
courage early marriages; and according to
MIR. Badgers report, this barren rock is
more densely peopled than even the most
favored country in Europe; the same ex-
tent of surface, he observes, which in
England supports one hundred and fifty
two souls, contains in Malta nearly eight
! times that number. This case is shown
IN saying common there. lat man
may dine on fish, flesh, and fowl for a
half-penny; and this is not so extravaganza
as might be imagined. The difficulty is
to get the halfpenny. The necessaries
and even the Injuries are SO cheap, and
money so scarce, that shop keeper will
not refuse to sell some portion of cooked
meat even for a single grain-that is, the
sixth part Of half penny. What toll and
exertion are often gone through to obtain
that single grain, is known to every one
who has ever Glanced to put into the port
of Valetta. There are boys, and we be-
lieve men, who gain a livelihood by div
ing for oysters and shell-fsh, or articles
which may have fallen or been thrown
overheard from the vessels. No sooner
does vessel arrive than boat load or
two of these naked striplings come under
the stern, and there they will remain
through summers day, throwing up
their arms and bobbing down their heads
to induce the locker on to toss over half
penny, accompanying their significant
gestures with "Heave for dive, captain
heave for a dive The moment the
miserable coin is hove over, whole shoal
OF them instantly plunge headlong after it,
and one or other never fail to make prize
of it long before it reaches the bottom;
and eager struggles may often be seen at
considerable depths under the water, as
to who shall retain the spoil. This is
sort of sport and pastime at other places,
but at Malta it is trade. From a little
luck this way does many Maltese boat
man date the beginning Of his fortune; and
at this very time, there is in Valetta well
known man, who saved enough from
these half penny dives, to purchase boat,
and in remembrance Of the circumstance,
he has christened her "Heave for dive"
which is blazoned forth in large letters
upon her stern.-Athenea4n.

loea. Johnny is too good to be punish

OF the American population. The result
