Mr. Frank Edwards would probably quite as
soon tell the truth lie but his historic knowledge
is sadly out at the elbows The Texan army
under Gen. Sam Houston, never won many vic
tories but solitary one, over small portion Of
the Mexican army; and it never was led by Gen
Houston to the Rio Grande nor anywhere Near it.
Gen. Houston probably never saw the Rio Grsnde
in bis life--he certainly never did in a Military
capacity. All the Texan armies that ever ventured
near the Rio Grsode prior to our Annexation OF the
Lone Star were routed by the Mexicans, and
most Of the men composing them killed or made
prisoners We hope Mr.. Frank Edwards has not
swallowed many more such camp Gullivers as this
about Gen. Sam Houston and the boundary Of
Texas If he has, his book is utterly unreliable and
worthless authority, though it seems pleasant
and readable narrative Of stirring adventure.

"A very striking item of interest and i'm
portancc in Rock Bridge is the immense
quantity Of Marble imbcdcd in her Noun
tains. When the rich and valuable soil
with all its cxubcrant fruits arc exhausted;
then that real value of the country will be
drawn upon. The marble treasures which
arc now boarded up in the Golfers of her
mountains arc destined in time to enrich
the ciizcns, and bcautify, and adorn the
magnificent mansion Of the wealthy and
tasteful inhabitants, even Of New Orleans.
The quantities arc incxhaustihlc, and tho
quality is Of about as fine texture as the
bcs, Egyptian and Italian. The country is
greatly indebted to the energy and enter
prise of Mcssrs. Maybin e Kelly for open
ing and applying these vast resources Of
wealth and refinement. When we con-
template the wealth, intellige nee, marble,

BAD HABITS IN TEACHERS.

1t is a bad habit in teachers to be always
stern and austcrc to their studcnts it Is
much better TO gain their esteem by mild,
gentle and familiar department, anl their
respect by uprightncss Of conduct; for mild
and gentle means will often effect what
cocrcivc measures could never accomplish.
1t is bad habit to whip child in anger,
for then the child mutually thinks it was
done to crafty spleen. 1t is a bad habit to
punish children without first yincins tho
judgement that they have acted wrong, and
very frequently talking to them in an af1cc-
tomato manner TO convince them that they
have behaved improperly is punishment
enough to answer the end for like our
Creator we should use punishment 10 pro-
duce reform 1t is bad habit for teachers
10 mimic, ridicule, or call their scholars i'll
names, such as STOOL" it can answer no
good purpose, and may do much harm;
children are sensitive little creatures, and
such course may produce disgust which
can never be removed. 1t is bad habit
IN teachers to permit the girls and boys to
mingle together; boys should be brought
to respect the girls, and to treat them with
politeness and girls should be taught TO
behave modestly, mildly, and politely to the
boys, never allowing them to take improper
liberties; by SO doing they will very soon
understand the prcrogatives of the sexes.
Now ifthcse hints should do any good to
any of the birch loving, sour looking teach
ers, | shall be we'll paid for this fragment.

MADAME REsrELL.-This notorious woman,
who has lately been tried in New Y ork for the
murder of mothers and their innocents, IN an
indirect manner, 10 conceal the shame Of the
former,has at last been sentenced to twelve
months Imprisonment in the Penitentiary at
Blockwells Island. Since which an arrest of
judgement was issued by the Supreme
Court, and the papers say, Madame Restell,
will be spared the modification Of being
sent to prison.
How they served monsters of this sort in
Paris, in a comparatively, dark age is thus
told in an cxtact made by the New York
Sun from all authentic work
About the year 1878, midwife at Paris
had, by her great skill in her profession ac-
quircd the support Of q great number of the
inhabitants, the most wealthy of whom she
attended at their residences but for those
who from inclination, or fear of exposure,
wished to be privately delivered, she had &C.
comodations in her out house; to which
many females resorted.
BY chance, however, gentleman who
lived next door to this midwife observed
that although many pregnant woman went
in to lie in at her house, yet comparatively
but few children were brought out; and his
suspicious Of foul practices towards the in
fants acquiring fresh strength daily, he at

length consulted with several of his ncim-
bors upon the matter, who joined him in SO.
Letting from maglstatc warrant to search
Tor some plate they pretended 10 have lost;
but in order to alarm the midwife, and put
her on her guard, they began their sham
search at the distance Of nine or ten houses
from her.
When, however, they came to her resi-
dcncc, she affected the utmost nnconccrn,
desiring them not to hurry thrsclvcs. but to
proceed in their task with all possible cir
cumspcclion. They did so and On coming
TO the privy, they put down a hook which
they had brought with them cn purpose,
and drew up the body ola childncwly destroy
cd. They continued the search until they
had found the remains Of no less than sixty
two infants. The midwife was immclia,c-
y apprchcnded and brought to trial, and be-
ing found guilty upon the fullest evidence,
besides her own confession, she was con-
fined, she was condemned to die, which
rid manner on the 2Sth May, 1878.
A strong kind Of gibbct was erected, un.
der which fierce fire was kiudIcd; and
the prisoner, being brought TO the place
was suspended from the gibbct in a large
ironcagc, in which were also placed sixteen
wild cats, which had been caught for the
purpose. When the torment Of the flames
began to be unbcarablc, the furious animals
attacked the woman, as the cause Of the a.
gony they endured. In about fifteen minu
ties they tore out her eyes and entraiIs, yet
still she continued alive and sensible, i'm
plorlng some charitable spectator to put her
quickly to death; but NO one caring to
comply with her intrcaics, she remained in
this irightlul condition for tho space Of thir
ty-fve minutes, and then died in unSpeaka
bic misery. At the time Of her death,
twelve olthc cats had expired, and the other
four survived but n minute tr two longer.

IN TIE House OF REPRESENTATIVES,,
Saturday, Dec. Il, 1917.

y
Mr.. Yancy gave notice that On Monday
next, he would ask leave 10 introduce Bill
to enable David l.. Adams 10 emanccpatc
his negro slave Charles.
Under the rule OF the House, Mr. Yam
cy begged leave 10 announce Inc motives
and reasons OF this application for the en-
ancipation Of slave-which was in contra
vcntion of the policy of the state. The
slave Charles was servant of gallant
young Lieut.. Adams, of the Edgoficll Vol
untcers, attached to the Palmetto Regiment
now engaged in the Mexican war. At the
reduction Of Vera CruZ-on the march to
Alvarado, which proved SO fatal to our Re-
gimcnt, and OH its progress TO Pucbla, he
was ever by the side OF his gallant young
master, whatever position was assigned
him. When the Regiment and the Army
were on the march from Puebla to the city
OF Mexico, the extreme rear guard, which
was commanded by the brave corporal
Brooks, Of the Edgcficld Company, was at
tackled by party of Mexican lanccrs-lhc
slave Charles who was nearer TO the Regi-
mcnt than the rear guard, seized Il musket
and ran and fought by the side Of the lament
ed Brooks, who was one Of the mess upon
Contrcras and Churubusco, where the Pal
metto Regiment gained immortal honor for
itself and the State, i'll positions Of the great
est danger, Charles with weapon in hand,
was ever by the side Of his young master,
exhibiting, (upon the report of the brave It,
Abney, orthc EdgcGcld company courage
as unqucstionable, and a desire as ardent Tor
the success Of our arms us any soldiers in
the army. At the Battle of Churubusco,
where the gallant Adams fell while bearing
aloft the standard ofhis compuy, and in that
dreadful carnage when half the Palmetto
Regiment were bleeding to death, Charles
lay day and night by the dead body of
his master, and only left him to procure
few comforts for the brave Abney, who had
fallen upon the field. AS an act of graft
tude to the memory of his lamcnted son
and high appreciation Of this unliring dcvo-
tionand gallant conduct 10 his slave Char
les, the father desires to be allowed, by an
act of the Legislature, 10 give him his free.
dom. These remarks arc submitted, that
the House may be placed in possession, in
advance, the reasons why the Legislature
will be appealed to, TO depart from the salu-
tary policy of the State.
ORIGIN OF THE NAME WIuG.-In the
10th century there arose in England a
party opposed to the King, and in favor of a
Republican form of Government, in which
the people would have a voice. This par
ty adopted as their motto, owe Hope In
God," the initials or first letter of each
word combined, read Wing, and were used
to name or designate the party. Thus the
word Whig originally meant opposition to
Kings and Monarchics, and friendship for
the very form of government under which
wo now exist. 1t originated in England
