against disanion. We much prefer carrying on
this sort OF system of reprsals with our Yankee
brethren. There is plenty Of Yankee property
IN the South at this time TO reimburse us for all
the negroes they haze stolen from us. One gen.

Southern State will reach the whole oft. Let the
Union stand forever, with the floternai, cordial

the other. Let as of the South come TO love
Yankee property with the same ardor that they
love Southern property"

influence Of a Newspaper.

A school teacher who has been engaged a
long time in his profession and witnessed the
influence of newspaper upon the minds ofa
family Of children, writes TO the editor of the
Oedensburg Sentinel as follows
/ have found it TO be the universal fact, with
out exception, that those scholars Of both sexes
and Of all ages, who have had access to news
papers at home, when compared with those who
have not, are
/. Better readers, exceiling in pronuncia-
ton, and consequently read more understand
ingly
,. They are better spoilers and define words
with Ease and accuracy.
3. They obtain a practical knowledge of
geography, in almost half The time it requires
Others, as the newspaper has made them fami-
liar with the location OF the important places,
nations, their governments and dongs on the
globe.
4. They are better grammaIians, for having
become so familiar with every variety OF style
in the newspaper, from the common place ad-
vertisement to the finished and CLASSICAL oration
Of the statesman, they more readily compre-
bend the meaning of the text, and conse-
qupntly analyze its construction with accura-
cy.
5. They write better compositions, using bet
ter language, containing more thoughts, more
clearly and connectedly expressed.
3. Those young men, who have for years
been readers OF the newspapers, are always
taking the lead in the debating society, exhib-
ting more extensive knowledge upon great
er variety of subjects, and expressing their
views with greater fuency, clearness aud cor
rectneSs in their use of language.
SUICIDE BY BoY-The Mensha Wis
Advocate ofthe 18th inst, gives the following
account Of the commission of suicide by boy
only twelve or fifteen years ofage:
Young Kelsey imagined himself TO be whip
ped and abused too much by the village boys,
and on Monday evening be told his mother he
would stand it no longer that he would hang
himself No attention was paid TO the threat,
and on Thursday morning he was whipped for
some trivial offence, after which she sent him
TO the woods to procure some good switches, to
be hereafter used on him for bad behavior He
was accompanied by younger brother. After
going into the woods a short distance, he sent
the brother back home for rope in order as be
said, 10 bring large bundle. On his brothers.
return, Young Kelsey was stiff in death. To
the absence OF bis brother be placed some blocks
on the ground, placed one of his suspenders
around his neck, and tied one end to the limb
of tree, kicked the blocks away, and hung in
that position until found dead. This is indeed
sad affair, for one so young 10 take bis life by
his own hands. Those who have seen the
CORPSE, say that even in death his countenance
exhibits the picture of determination and cour-
age.

eIectiBeby tie people as is the Auditor General
and Surveyor General, who have hundred
fold more intimate relations with the Governor
than has this office. Ii was the impertinence
and arrogance Of Governor Johnston, through
such advisers as Col Mcclure, that induced a
Democratic Legislature 10 take the appointment
of the above two offices, (strictiy Cabinet op-
pointmehts.) from the Governor, and place their
selection in the hands Of the peopie-and. if
our judgment does not greatly fail rs, certain
JonN Cessna, Esq, attorney at Law, and ex-

dare TO veto il The office Of Adjutant Gener-
al has little or no connection with the Exeeu-

Adjptant Generals as be has appointed "AidS-

land, the incoming Legislature, and the success
sor of Hon. Ell Slifer, as State Treasurer, will
at least know bow TO Discriminate 50 as 10 de-

Gov. Pollock has TOO much good sense even to

atvice-for the man who viii attempt to re-
view and condemn the Decision Of the highest
Court known to tie Commonwealth, without
having even read or seen it, 10 many countries
would be considered nothing short of iunatic.
We trust the country will survive the stoek Of
