Col. Benton.


The great Missourian, according to his last dying
speech and confession, in the last of his multitu
duous letters is politically defunct. He begins to
see at last, what all the world has long seen, that
his political influence has departed that while in
intellectual vigor he has been Samson, his hair
is now shorn and his eyes out, nor has he strength
enough left to pull down the pillar of the temple
He has acted upon the motto Rule or Ruin" and
like many other men who adopt that prin'
ciple, he has neither gained power nor ruined any
one but himself. Col Bentons great talents and
immense energy, if guided by sound discretion and
disinterested patriotism, would have made him one
of the most usefulof our public men. The noble
ship, however. has lacked a helm capable of con-
trolling her movements, and instead of sailing on
steady course to peaceful haven. has fairly boxed
the compass, and now lies, a hopeless wreck, upon
the shore.
A grand mistake of Col Bentons political career
has been his intractable temper and demineering
spirit. He imagined himself the master instead of
the servant of the people, and attempted to SUBJ
iect public sentiment to his own solitary" will
The man who makes such an attempt in country
of freemen. no matter how great his powers, will
Col Benton failed to represent the views and
policy of his own section upon a subject the most
vital of all others to its interests No politician
has ever succeeded who has sought to propitiate
Northern favor at the expense of Southern princi-
pie. Such unscrupulous and fsithless persons are
not only condemned to total loss of confidence at
home, but the North, while it avals itself of the
treason, regards with cool contempt the traitor.

The Want Of Physical Training.

J-non this subject the Baltimore American ana
American Medical Monthly have some pertinent
and inst remarks These journals refer to the
united testimony of Psychologists, physicians ana
cyan common observers as to the deterioration Of
the neople of this country in physical status in
proof of which they point to the weak, fragile
forms of our youth, which in too many instances
seem to be already the abode of disease at an age
when buoyant spirits and robust health should be
the kindly Gift of nature. The American observes
that it would be q too sweeping conclusion to as
eribe TO any one practice however deletsrious this
evil which proceeds from q general neglect of
hyeienic law but it is convinced that the forced
system of education now in vogue, with its pro-
longed hours of study, (out of school as well as in
it, its multiplicity of branches and over stimulating
influence upon the brain, has to answer for . very
serious amount of the producing causes that are
raising in all large cities puny, nervous race
of boys, untitled to grapple with the tasks of Ia
ter life, and of girls who mothers will perpet-
uate their own inadequate physical organization.
Muscular vigor," says the American, powers
of endurance, independence, decision and generos
ity of character, courage and presence of mind
cheerfuness and strength of the intellectual facu
ties are the products of proper physical training
and they are to be secured only by proper atten-
ton to the equal development Of the body and
mind. Let every parent remember these facts
now that the season for outdoor exercise is ap
preaching, and encourage and direct their children
in developing their physical powers by spending
the largest portion of their time in the open air
employed in exercises that may amuse the mind
and strengthen the body. The more fragile they
