BACKING DowN.-The Washington cores.
pendent of the Richmond (va) South has the
following important statement, as to the position
of South Carolina member of Congress, which
the Boston Post pronounces unjust :"
:" A distinguished South Carolina member has
declared to me that, in consequence of the Free
Soil continuance of Mr.. Calhoun, he should vote
against the admission of Kanzas under the cir.
cumstances, as he did not wish to incur the re.
sponsibility with which the South might hereafter
charge its epresentatives-of voting virtually for
the admission of free State, in disregard of JUS
tce to then own section. This view your cor.
respondent has expressed substantially in former
communications. The South has nothing of sec
tional interest to gain by the admission Of Kan
zas. Under Calhoun's decision. it would in the
very act of coming into the Union, be a free
State and it would be represented at the Capital
by factionists who would laugh at our delusion-
mat there was to be no more controversy about
Kanzas."
The editor of the Post would do well to pro-
coed to Washington, and stifen the backs of
some of its Lecompton brethren in Congress.

What is to be done with our Charley !!
HARRIET BEEcHBB STOWE.

Yes-that is the question: The fact is,
there seems to be no place in heaven above. or
earth beneath, exactly safe and suitable, except
the bed. While he is asleep there our souls
have rest-we know where be is and what he
is about, and sleep is a gracious state but
then he wakes mp bright and early, and begins
footing, pounding, hsmmering singing, med
ding, and asking questions; in short, oTerturn-
ing the peace of society generally for about
thirteen hours out of every twenty-four
Everybody wants to know what to do with
him-everybody is quite sure be can't stay where
they are The cook can't have him in the kitch-
en-, where be infestS the pantry to get -four to
make paste for his kites or melt lard in the
new saucepan. If he goes into the woodshed,
he is sure to pull the wood-ple down upon his
head. If he be sent up into the garret, YOU
think for awhile you have settled the problem,
till you find what boundeSS field for activity
is at once opened, apid all the packages, boxes,
bags, barrels, and cast-off rubbish there Old
letters, newspapers, trunks of miscellaneous
contents, are all rummaged, aud the very reign
of chaos and old night is instituted He sees
endless capacities in ALL and he is always ham,
mering something or knocking something apart,
or saving, or planning, or drawing boxes and
barrels in all directions to build cities or lay
railroad tracks, till everybody's head aches
quite down to the lower floor, and everybody
declares that Charley must be kept out of the
garret.
Then You send Charley to school, and hope
you are fairly rid of him for few hours at least
But he comes home noiSier and more breezy
than ever, having learned of some twenty other
Charleys every separate resource for keeping

1t is true, that if entertaining persons will
devote themselves exclusively to him, reading

then this is diScouraging work. for be swallows
