CoRPoREAL PUNISHMENT IN SCHOOLS, AGAIN.
Messrs Editors 1t was not until this morning
that ! saw the Telegraph of yesterday, in which
appears the communication over the signature
OF =. do not hasten to reply to it with any
ambition to appear as the "advocate of the
affirmative of the question" which the writer
appears DESTROYS to draw out. / would sooner
leave this to the experienced female teacher
whose excellent article l introduced to the CO.
lumns of your paper. believe that lady quite
capable Of triumphantly defending the position
she has assumed.
But, with your permission, 1 would like to
correct misapprehension on the part of the
writer of that article. He says: "The anti
punishment advocates appear to take it for
granted that their opponents are in favor OF
much punishment by frequent and severe appli-
cations of the rod, and thereupon gravey talk
Of benevolence, humanity, &C."
Having no time this morning to remark upon
several points which appear to Nstick out" in
this paragraph, ! will only assure the writer
that the anti-punishment advocates are under
no such misapprehension as he indicates. They
have too high an opinion of the good nature
and moral qualities of the gentlemen who have
advocated corporal punishment in the Associa-
ton, to believe that they are Gin favor of much
punishment by frequent and severe applications
as teachers and masters rise in mental and
moral culture themselves, in the same ratio is
their appreciation of the susceptibilities and
mental capacities of their pupils increased-and
with them, as in geometrical progression, the
means will increase for addressing those sus-
ceptibilies and developing those capacities, of a
far higher order than mere resort to inflic-
tons of bodily pain. No; would inform &C."
that, whatever may be the opinions of these
gentlemen, their characters are too well known
as gentlemen, and as Christians, for any such
"misapprehension." l believe that they would
leave "severe applications of the rod" to a
lower order of mind than theirs-minds of too
gross cast to comprehend the inner man
whose eyes are too bleared and earthly to see,
and whose hands are too stiff and clumsy to
take hold of those silken cords whose vibrations
give right tone to the undying soul

CASE OF CoDDINGToN vs.. WEBB.-Saperior
-Monday.-Mr. James Watson Webb, in
the case of Coddington and wife against him, in
relation to letters already referred to, appeared
this forenoon in person, with a view to having
proceedings opened as to the application for in
junction, he having been mistaken as to time,
SC. He read an affidavit, in which extracts
were introduced; but Mr.. Clarke objected to
their being read. Judge Sanford remarked, if
Mr.. w. could show good cause why the default
should be set aside, it might be 50; but as the
case now stands, the motion for an order to
that effect is denied.-N. Y. Tribune ofyesterday
eUertqg.
When Willis was young, and we were young,
we admired him very much and when we turn
over the old familiar pages, and read the heart
felt productions of his earlier days, we are
again entranced by his beautiful and touching
poetry. But when we remember Willis as the
ape of European aristocracy in all its base and
degraded attributes, we pity, despise and con-
tenn him; and have often thought that justice
would approve the cuffs and kicks he might re-
ceive, however much the executioner might still
be despised But that executioner, in the eager
attempt to overdo his base task, has wantonly,
meanly, and maliciously raked up the ashes of
departed /" friend" as he terms him, brought to
the worlds gaze and censure the fame of that
friends daughter, and perhaps destroyed the
peace of her and her husband-and all for
what? To crafty a cherished revenge that
could for an hour find Judgement in no breast
in which the pulsations of manly heart were
ever felt. SO fendlike is his resentment, that
it excites kindly feeling for his victim, who
might not otherwise elicit sympathy in the
husband or father of any honest woman: so
serpent-lke and devilish the means of its graft
fication, that the tenderest concern is every
where awakened for the innocency and the fame
Of the family he would crush in the pathway to
his foe

before her return to Europe, appear in opera.

then she can engage Maretzek's whole troupe,

ALLEGED DErALoAr1oN IN BAIrmoar

Sun of this morning says:
"The mayor yesterday transmitted to the
council, in convention, communication, the
reading and discussion upon which occupied
that body for upwards of an hour. The session
was OF course secret, and we are unable to
state any thing in reference to it, except from
rumor. The communication Of the mayor, we
understand, disclosed to the council the fact of
the discovery, upon an examination of a portion
of the books of Col. II. S. Sanderson, late city
collector, of defalcation to the amount of
nearly six thousand dollars: how much more it
may be can only be ascertained by thorough
examination of oil the books. There are thou
sand rumors in regard to persons implicated in
the transaction, as well rs to the amount, which
is stated to be even as high as fifteen thousand
dollars. We hope the affair may prove to be
exaggerated, and the parties implicated may be
able to prove the alleged defalcation to be IN
error"
Col. Sanderson is an old and respectable cit-
zen, has filed the position of editor of the
Democratic paper, sheriff of the county, &C.,
and has of course wide circle Of friends. We
should think of the affair with remembrance of
the injunction, "Let him that thinketh he
standeth take heed lest he fall" but we shall
at the same time hope with the Sun, that the
parties implicated may be able to prove the
alleged defalcation an error"
