OLD MEN.--A wise man win novcrrust
out AS long as he can move or breathe,
no will DO doing something for himself, or
bis neighbor, or for postority. Almost to
tho last hours Of his life. Washington was
at work. so were franklin, and Adams,
and Young, and Howard, and Newton
The vIgor Of their lives was not decayed.
No rust marred their spirits. LISA foolish
idea to suppose that we must lie down and
die because We are old. Who Is old?--
Not the man Of energy; not the day labor
or in sconice, art or benevolencc;lbut he
only who suffer his energies to waste away,
and tho spri,g of life to become motion
less; on whose hands tho hours drag heay-
lily, and to whom all things wear tho garb
Of gloom. There arc scores Of grey
headed men wo should prefer In any inn
porlant enterprise, 10 those young gentle
men, who fear and tremblo at approaching
shadows, and turn pale at lion In their
path, o harsh word or frown.

From the New Orleans De
What the South thinks Of 1859.

Every political event, movement and Indication
at this time in the North, Lite in confirming the
prediction we made soon rs M Blu hinans cltc-
ton was established ], that the BLACK Republicans,
far from disDanding, would undertake preparations
for the battle of 1860 with renewed vigor, aud
more determination and zeal than ever Though
they failed to re-clcct their President vet they were
signay triumphant in consolidating such an cX-
tended and serricl political organization as was
never before effected within that same brief period
They were not beaten; they yielded no inch OF
vantage ground they cacanp.d upon the battle
field, and are now delanily Haunting their black
banners across our lines in Maryland, Virginia and
Missouri.
They have sworn never TO lay down their arms,
these enemies Of the South. They hate her with 4
Crathagcnian hatred. By the Black God they wor-
ship they have sworn to conquer hcrin 1850. They
ere Frightening their weapons every day. The
trampng of their gathering hosts may be heard on
every Northern plain, The tOcsin Of war sounds
shrilIy through every Northern alley. Their camp
fires burn all along the SOu,h,m borer and in
one place they have already crossed the boundary
and established Outpost5 upon S1utLern territory.
They have never been known to take a step back
ward, and their order OF parch is still SJuthwar.
The National Democratic party has no longer
any rational hope 10 hold ont to the South The
South gave it victory in 1856 and she has tasted
none of the fruits Of victory ye' but Daad-S "a
ashes. Another such victory would leave her naked
TO starve upon the desert.
Pennsylvania was carried Tor Mr. Blchangn by
liberal tax upon Democratic Office holders. |.
it all reasonable that they would again undergo
such tax, with the certainty that tae candidal,
they were thus aiding to elect would cut their own
heads off ? Is it not more reasonable on the con
trary, that many Of them would listen Elyorably t,

Our legislature at its extra session. provided
for the establishment of school for the insiruc-
ton of Iliots and Imb23les, and authorized
the Governor 10 appoint three Trustees to man
age said institution. The legislature also nppro-
priatcd $500 to be expended for this humane
object.
Gov. Chase, as we have before stated, ap.
pointed for Trustees, Hons. w. Dennison, Jr.

ins been duly notified of their appointment
they met at Columbus last week, organized, aud
appointed DR.. Patterson Superintendent. They
also leased building opposite the Blind Asylnm'

for the practical purposes of the School. DIR.
Patterson has had much experience with the
unfortunate class of persons designed to be ben
Gifted By this institution, hlrinS been for a
number of years Superintendent Of the Lunatic
Asylum.
In accordance with the provisions Of the law
under which they act, the Trustees and DR.. Pat
terson are now visiting institutions in the east
ern States similar to tn, one placed in their
charge. There is one at Syracuse aud also one in
MASSACHUSETTS,, anu Tue SICCcsS NhiSu nus At
tended the efforts Of thehumane prrsonse engaged
in educating idiots aud imbeciles, has been al
together satisfactory to themselves and nstonish-
ing to those who supposed such parsons help
lessly idiotic. We learn that two little boys
were exhibited before the members of our Legls-
Iature, from one OF these institutions, who gave
evidence Of possessing reasonable education.
They were unable to walk, talk, or show any
signs of intellect, until placed under the care
of the School established for their benefit.
The Trustees receive no compensation for
their services, other than the bearing of their ex-
penses while on business pertlinins to the School
We believe tn. law authorizes but ona scholar

The readers of the Journal have the promise
Of one or two letters from one Of the Trustees,
which will doubtless throw much light upon the
character and success of institutions of this de
scription.
