For many other reasons, it is the duty OF
parents to visit their schools IL is the only
way to gain an accurate knowledge of the
true character of the school. which by your
Office as parent you are bound to know. But
chiefly, it will create an interest in the school
in its studies, its comfort and its reputation.
Every parent knows that his boy will take
better care of his little garden, OF the girl OF
her flower bed, if father and mother and the
neighbors go sometimes TO see it, and COM
mend what is commondabe, or critcise gent
ly what is deserving of criticism. The good
farmer and the good housewife, with all their
usual neatness, will severally take some ex-
ira pains to have all things in order when
company is coming. Even the confirmed slut
scizes the broom, and falls to raising the dust
when she secs her tidy neighbor coming to
call on her. So will a school be quickenod
into activity by the frequent coming of par
ents, the house will be kept in better order
ana more studious, the teacher will be in bet
ter order and will teach better, because he
knows that his work is to be seen. and be-
cause his attention is less distracted by the
disorder around him. Aside from greater
knowledge Of books, the scholar will, in case
the parent does his duty here, gain pract
cal power of immense Importance. Nothing
is commonor with US than to find man, really
intelligent and successful in business, who
has not the ability to express his views on
any business matters before an audience, and
this simply because ne has never been taught
to think aloud when on his feet and before
folks. Let but the parents become 'cm TOM
ed to visit the schools, singly and in compa-
MES, and the children become accustomed to
stand up and recite in their presence, and the
public meetings Of the next generation shall
not be so often ruled by blustcrers and pre-
tenders as they now are. The effect on the
manners would be very important. Children
are sent away to school now at a great ex-
pcnse, not because they wish to find better
opportunity to pursue the studies strictly Of
the school so much as to free themselves of
an awkwardness Of manner which arises from
lack of contact with society," and of opportu-
nifty to act in its presence. Such expense
might, in most cases, be saved. and the home
influence not be lost, if the people would but
do their duty to the schools. The common
schools are the peoples trust. For their adj
vancemcnt the people are responsible. The
best means for their advancement are such
and so simple as | have said. Shall they not

. WASHINGTON, March ~.
Col. Johnston, in his latest official dis
patches, says that the Mormon troops are
to resist the establishment of
Territorial Government. by the United
States, and in furtherance of the object,
have erected works of defense in the
mountain passes, and near Salt Lake city.
He does not believe that spirit of con-
ciliation towards them would now be prop
erly appreciated, or rather that it would
be wrongly Interpreted in view of the trea-
sonable temper and feeling pervading the
leaders, and good portion of the Nor
mons.
He thinks that neither the honor nor
the dignity of the government will allow
of the slig ghtest concession. They should
be made to submit TO the constitutional
demands Of the government uncondition-
ally. An adjustment of the existing
difficulties upon any other basis would be
nugatory. Their threats to oppose the
march Of the troops in the Spring, will
not have the slightest effect in delaying,
and if they desire to join the issue, he
believes that it is for the interest Of the
government that they should have the
opportunity.

EFThe first practical application of
the Dred Scott decision to the free States,
says the Springfield "Republican,' has
occurred in California wher. slave taken
into the State by his master, and employed
there for months, his master not being vis-
iior but resident, has been remanded TO
his claimant by the United States ci rcuit
court, to which the case had teen appealed
from State court. The State court had
decided the negro to bo free. The deci-
sion by the U. S. court establishes the
right to take slaves into free State, and
hold them there against its constitution and
laws-that is. il legaizes slavery in every
State in the Union. Nobody will be sur
prised at this. 1t ,s only Legitimate exten-
sion of the Dred Scott decision, as ex-
pounded by the slavery party and its south
side judges.
