The following remark on that irritable
member of the States, South Carolina, IS
from the Louisville Times: If there
was any constitutional way of letting
South Carolina out of the Union, we
woald hold up both hands for the meas
ure, and run the risk of her conquering
the balance of the United States and lay
ing them under tribute. But as it is. We
must try and get along with her, and
thank our stars and stripes that We have

Schools Upon the Sabbath.

No institution contributes more to the
peace, prosperity, morals, and respecta-
bility of community than its Sunday
schools. The law can only punish, while
Sabbathsehools prevent crime. Colleges,
seminaries, and public schools. it is true.
enlighten the mind and develop mental
genius; but the especial objects of the
Sabbath school instruction are the heart,
the life, the destiny, the soul. The nat.
ural demand of the soul for religion of
some sort-for Divinity to do homage
to--is far greater than the aspirations af-
ter fame or wealth. A kind heart is moro
to be desired than wise head, where the
two qualities cannot be combined. The
conquests of genius arc as the flashing Of
vivid tightening that cracks the gloomy
thunder-cloud and leaves the world TO
wonder at its power But the heart that
feels the thrill of kindness, that is good
and true and pure, beams like the OBJ
structed rays Of mellow moonlight upon
the world, impartiHg pleasure, elevating
the desires, subduing the passions, and
leading men TO initiate its virtues. Not
even the family circle is SO well calcala-
ted to improve the heart of child as the
instruction of the Sabbath school; for
here greater truths than ever parentutter-
ed are taught. and the child learns what
many men never learned, "who IS my
neighbour" Toa faithful teacher there
is no more delightful employment than to
teach cbildren-susceptible as they al
ways aFe--the simple truths Of the Bible !;
and when we contemplate the silent IN
fluence which these sabbath school in
structions have in forming the future
character of man or woman. the position
becomes one Of great importance and re-
sponsibility.

Tobacco chswers.

| One of the greatest nuisances that d
decent man can Be guilty Of, Is to chew
tobacco. He is forever splitting the fas-
tv stuff somewhere-it makes but iittls
difference with him where. If be would
bu. swallow bis fayorite dish, it would
make it some better: but tobacco chew
erS seem TO have an idea that they are q
privileged class, to spit when and where
they please-whether it be in the perlor,
church, theater. concert room, printing
Office, or anywhere else--it is all the
same. They sed't 20 spit, and they srU
spit. and spit they do. What beautiful
sight to see one side Of the face pushed
out by plug of !" niger head "oF a cav
endish." as though the man had a severe
attack of the mumps. while the juice of
| the weed is running down at the corners
of the mouth snd then to have his med
itations interrupted by the entrance of
friend-alady or gentleman. it matters not
which to him-.o see him dodge about to
discover some hole or corner wherein he
can deposit his mouthfui of yellow saliva
before he can speak Oh, it's nice. isn't
Fit? MANY a wife has had her patience
sorely tried By this filthy practice, in
cleaning carpets and paint
The truth is, there can be no such
thing as neatness where there is squirt
er of tobacco juice about. We have seen
too much of the dirty habit to know there
can be !: and we wonder why the ladies
don't do and say more 10 discountenance
its use We think they are in measure
to blame that this pernicious habit has
become SO strong among men. A little
spank on their par: would, we think, do
good deal in breaking their '.liege lords
of this vile practice. The Baltimore
Patriot, speaking on this subject, says:
The private mastication of tobacco.
in ones own home, parlor, bedroom, or
kitchen, as the case may be, is an affair to
be settled with ones self. We do not
intend to interfere with the police regula-
tions of the homc-they are in abler
hands than ours. If indulgent wives
choose to have their door-steps and bslco-
ny floor diseolored, their carpets ruined;
and their parlors and bedrooms irrevo-
cably defiled with tobacco juice-if they
relish the contact with their own mouths.
of lips that have been all day saturated
with yellow saliva-if they like the smell
of tobacco-scented breaths, coming from
between dirty and Disgusting teeth-we
have nothing to say. But We have a
right to protest, and we do protest, against
the outrageous public nuisance Of tobac.
co chewing. No man has a right to 60
to theater, or any other public gather
ing, and, seating himself in the midst OF
cleanly Christians, squirt out at random
streams of tobacco juice, around him.
To do this in those parts of the house
where only men are placed, is in the last
degree rude and theughtless /; but to car
ry the revolving practice into the presence
of ladies-into the dress circle of the
theater, the concert saloon, the church
pew-anditi habitually done in all these
plaees-is little short of blackguardism."

Stand from Under!

The Galena Advertiser of Monday has the
following important intelligence
"The reports have been current in regard
to the extraordinary conduct Of the Atlanta
and Interior Bank of Griffin, Georgia, in re-
fusing to pay their bills when presented in
large sums, except at the rate Of $4,000 or
$4,000 per day, are fully confirmed. We
can only construe resort to such conducts
as indicating great weakness on the part of
these banks, and we feel boiind to caution
our readers against this kind of money. Let
the farmers, mechanics aid business men
demand good money for all they have to
sell, and they will obtain it. A bad curren-
cy is d calamity which those who have lived
long iii this country fully comprehend, and
if they continue to be deprecated on by
wildcat spectators, they will deserve no
compassion. We repeat what we have said
above, and have often said: sell for good
money or none, and all wildcat trash will
soon be driven out of the country. The
people have the prevention of these abuses
entirely in their own hands, and forewarnbd
as they are, they can only blame themselves
if they are not fOrearmed."

Be not deceived by his smooth tongue, fel-
low-RepiBiicans. The day that you leave
your candidate and principles to vote for Mr.
Rice, you cause the heart of Douglas, String
fellow and Atchison to rejoice. You have a
good candidate AN honest, capable, straight.
forward candidate, and ii IL your duty to
stick to him and vote your principles. 1t is
also your duty to see that all voters who
think with you are at the polls on the day of
election-that tickets are properly distribu-
ted in every neighborhood, and that nothing
is left undone to crown your victory as the
most glorious one ever achieved. The victo-
ry, we repeat, ~M be most glorious if every
Republican does his Whole duty: Instead of
the Pro-Slavery editors and politicians
throughout the States rejoicing over the re-
suit in Minnesota as great victory forSlave-
ry Extension, the hearts of our own friends
the friends of Freedom and Free Labor-will
be made to leap with joy: The word will go
forth that Minnesota has joined the great
Northern army of Freemen, and taken her
stand in line With those adjacent States whose
in this Union she will soon
claim. But the elevation of Mr.. Rice, bear
ing aloft as he does the black flag of Slavery,
will indeed humiliate and degrade her in the
eyes of every true Freeman In the land:
We say, then, that all is right hefe at the
Capital. In his own supposed stronghold
we will strike Mr.. Rice down with good
round majority. Let the outer guards-the
posts of honor of the Republican Amy-do
as we'll, and the great victory is certain.
