The Next Census.

Next year the eight census Of the United
States is 10 be taken. This enumeration is
one OF the most laborious and difficult task
which the government has 10 perform. A
timely suggestion is made by the National
Inteliigencer, which is that each farmer this
fall, as he gathers his crops, keep something
like an accurate account of the, value of the
same; and if he will take the trouble TO
make out statement OF the names and ages
Q! his family; the number of acres II land
cleared and timbered; the number and ages
OF iis servants; the number o! barrels of
corn, bushels wheat, rye, barley, potatoes,
&c, and the value Of each, and leave it
some place where any member Of the fami-
ly who may be at home when the deputy
marshal shall call, can readily get hold of it,
il will save time TO all concerned, and very
greatly assist to make the census returns
perfectly complete and satisfactory.

HOME EDUcATIoN..- Whatever defects
there may be in home education, it is csr-
tain that the exceptions are rare where the
moral training of the mother is not accor-
ding 10 her best capacity, for the benefit
and advantage of her offspring. Her infu-
ence is often counteracted by the habits and
examples of the fnttier; but in such case she
is not responsible If her care and teaching
are CT no avail. Home education, where the
parents are united in sentiment, leaves lis
impression upon the mind and heart which
can never be totally oblitsrated. The prin-
cipal cause Of departure from the path of
right is evil associations. The poor moth
er, engaged in her household affairs, depend
ent upon her labor for her livelihood, has
little time to devote 10 her children, and as
soon as they are able 10 walk by themselves
they seek playmates, and the youthful mind
is readily impressed for good or evil, accor-
ding to the disposition of the associations.
The effect ofthese impressions is more last
ing in most cases than the influence and
example of parents. Ii children were not
early less subject TO such infuences, there
would be less vice in the world. Home
is the best for the youthful mind.
The most determined man in every situa-
ton of life will, 10 the last period Of his pill
grimage. be influenced by the early teach
ings of his mother, if the example and the
habits Of the father are in unison with her
council and Instruction. 5000.

the family, is never fully developed except
in these long evenings when the severe
weather brings IFS members into close con-
muniOn; when the long, cold evenings gath

strengthening the bonds Of affection, promo

The OYSTER Bed.

A correspondent sends the Tribune the
following information in regard TO the great
oyster bed in Long Island Sound: -
"A few days since, The captain Of small
vessel, while dredging for a lost anchor of
Eaton's Neck Light House, about midway
between the Connecticut and Long Island
shore, accidentally discovered bed Of very
large oysters, which is estimatsd to be
mile and a half square, sno to contain mil-
lion bushels of oysters. The oysters though
very large, are not now in good condition;
and it is found necessary to lay them down
again for short lime before sending them
10 market. The lucky discoverer of this
unwrought mine Of aquatic wealth, receiv-
ed from some oystermen of City Island the
handsome sum of $500 for the disclosure Of
his secret. The first days dredging is said
tn have much more than paid for the infor-
nation.
On Saturday last there were upwards Of
sixty vessels and boats, besides one steam
boat, manned by at least go men, busily
engaged in dredging for the hidden wealth.
The oysters lye in deep water-deep e.
nough 10 float the Great Eastern--and So
thick that the dredges can with difficulty
make an impression upon them.
OF course great excitement exists among
that class of cur population who follow the
water, for many miles along The shore, and
beats and men are in great demand.
As the oyster lie within the Jurisdiction.
Of the State Of New York, our neishborE Of
The Connecticut shore have TO right TO take
them. Some Of them. however, have not
thought fit TO absent themselves from the
oyster beds on that account Efforts are,
| am fold, being made by those "to the man
or born," 10 exclude all who have no legal
rights there. The apparent selishness Of
this course is excused by the plea that the
laws OF Connecticut have been strictly en-
forced against them-no enc from this shore
being allowed 10 take oysters within the
waters over which Connecticut claims ju-
risdiclion." a-rl5s--s o.

The Sacs and the Foxes.

The Westport &ar OF the 9Th inst, says:
"On the 26ih ult., tie annual payment as
made to the Sac and Fox Indians, at the
agency in Franklin county, Kansas. AL
ex. Street, VIM. r. Bernard, and others Of
our citizens were in attendance. The a.
mount paid out was $4,000.
Shortly after the payment was made,
Judge Greenwood, OF Arkansas, the inde-
fatigable Indian Commissioner, arrived at
the Agency, and succeeded in making an
important Treaty with the consolidated
tribe. We learn that in accordance with
lhis Treaty the Indians nave relinquished
10 the Government, for sale, all their land
lying in Franklin county, being a strip of six
miles wade and twenty long-and strip of
sixteen miles wide and twenty long, lying
on the border of Weller and Breckenridge
counties; reserving 10 themselves terrific
~ Of ~ by 90 miles in Weller. This is
ample for all their uses, as their tribes do
not rumber over 1886 men, women, and
children. This is falling off from last year.
At the enrolment on the 9lh of June, 1853
they number 1880.
The reservation of these Indians-a por-
tiOn of which will soon be open 10 sale and

From the New Orleans Bulletin.
Truthfully Said.


The Planters Banner, OF St. Mary's Par
ish, Louisiana alluding to our remarks up
on the practice Of calling the best and most
conservatives men Of the South ''Abc!i-
tionists," of Free sellers, or something Of
that sort, with Southern demagogues and
politicel charlatans are in The habit of do
ing, makes the following truthful comment:
We have long thought with the Bulletin,
that this practice is shameful, ridiculous
and dishonest. Those that fling the charge
do it mostly 10 frishten the ignoran! or excite
prejudice. II all were Abo!ilionists IN the
South that demagogues have charged with
beng such in tie last eight or ten years,
Republicanism would nearly carry all the
Southern States at the present tine. We
have heard multitudss Of Shareholders who
never saw Free State, and whose fathers
wers shareholders before them, ranked as
Abolitionists and the wilful enemies of the
South"
Every one will readily recognize the f.
deity TO nature Of this picture: and very
many will recollsot that the rogue is gensr-
ally the first to cry "stop thief" 1t will
do no harm to keep an eye upon the parties
that are constantly insinuating the charge
of Aholitionism against the best men of the
South. A "Down-easter," who had been
in the State scarcely long enough to get the
hang of the slang phrasei; some time last
year insinuated that Senator HAMMOND. Of
South Carolina, is not "sound." And it
may be recollec,ed that we had occasion TO
comment, during the last Presi ilentiai eleo-
lion, upon the base asperations cast upon
he largest Stakeholder of Mississippi, by the
political canaiiie, simply because
be refused to echo their insane twaddle and
incoblaical rsnting.

A MYSTERY OF THE PAsT.-An immense
catacomb can be seen at Rothwell, in the
interior of England near the direct route
from Liverpool 10 London. 1t is an i'm
mense vault built of masonry, under a
church which dates back apparently for its
first erection TO about the year 1850, and
contains the skeletons of 10000 men, prob
ably warriors Of great size, piled up in reg
ular order, SO that skulls and large bones
only appear on the outside of the piles
The skulls show marks of spear and hatch
ct, but no gun.shot wounds, and their own
ers probably fell in mortal combat anterior
to the invention Of gunpowdsr. The vault
was discovered by accident l6O years ago,
and has no connection with the church as
far as known; in fact the mystery is that
there is no historical evidence nor tradition
airy legend which throws the least light up
on the obscu-ity of its erection.
