Teaching and Feeding the Poor.

CARLYLE has said: "0f all public function
aries boarded and lodged on the industry of
modern Europe, none is worthier of the board
he has than those who speak spiritual things
to men,"
We add, those are worthier who arc engaged
in the benevolent heart-work of gathering TO-
gether the children of the poor; gladdening
their hearts with encouraging accents of love-;
and instructing the ignorant and neglected
little ones in the better wsy. ta
Yesterday was holiday Of Thanksgiving to
come three hundred Bethel children, who were
provided with choice repast. These children
were not those of the upper-orust--the porce-
lain-ware specimens of Young America--in
our city, but the children of those classed as
the "earthen-waro and hunchback beings Of
this neither world"
1t may bs to some class to fight shy Of
to bo styled "the living, breathing, busying,
plotting, planning, human yulgarity "a
"species of moral ipecacuanha;" but thanks to
the energetic, fullhearted, nOble-spirited Bethel
management, large school of ragged, dcsti
tute children is being taught to respect the
elements of power in each little voice and
kindling eye; and the exercises of yesterday
showed that q work Of reformation and self
education is going successfully forward with
class of hitherto uncarsd-for children. The
moving, effective intellec!s of the present day,
in most instances, are those who have come
up from the lower ranks. We rejoice to see
the benevolent thus engaged in giving mental
and moral direction to the outcast. We can
realize from the good done at tho Bethel what
will be effected by the Industrial School.
These are the civilizing influences of virtue:
ITO civilize the rude, unpolish'd world,
Audls lay it under the restraint of laws;
To make man mild and sociable 10 man,
Th' embellishments of life! Virtues like these
Make human nature shine, reform the SOUL
And break the fierce barbarians into men,"

FAITHFUL s1AvEs IN VIRGINIA. Tuesday i

FAITHFUL SLAVES IN VIRGINIA. Tuesday S
Richmond Dispatch observes:
A few days since, a gentleman living in the
neighOorhood of Harper's Ferry had important
business to attend to in this city, but owing to
the excitement prevailing in the ueighborhood,
expressed some doubt as to the propriety of
leaving his wife and children there, without
any protection. This fact coming to the ears
of his servants, they immediately took council
Of each other, and going to their master, said
to him ''If you have business to attend TO,
leave mistress and the children to our care.
No harm can befall them as long as we have
breath and strength to defend them The
gentleman Immediately packed up and started,
and on his return home found that his SER
wants had boen vigilant and faithful during
his absence-~peIformin their usual duties by
day, and carefully guarding their sacred trust
by night.
The same number Of the DisPctch remarks:
When the news reached here Ilst Saturday
nigh6 taat armed Abolitionists were marching
on 10 Charlestown to rescue tho thief and mur-
derer, Brown, scores OF servants fad to their
masters for protection, aT1i many Of them
begged to be marched to the scene of action,
and to be allowed to repGl tho invaders. If
old Brown and his associates were turned over
to them, the cause Of excitement would soon b0
removed.

An 0PERATTc PLAYA lsto London letter
says that the opera of Rigoleto has been
drama'ized by MIR. Tom Taylor, under the
title of The Fools Revenge, and produced
at SadIer's Wells Thester. We remember to
have seen drama founded upon Victor Hugc's
story, from which ths libtetto of the opera is
taken, performed at least ten years ago upon
the boards Of one Of our theaters under the
name Of the lester and his Chid. So Tom
Taylors version can not bevcry novel. Opera
plots arc almost always taken from dramas or
familiar incidents in history or fiction, and tie
idea of inverting the order is somewhat orig;-
nal, particularly when We remember th,t
Rigo'etto was play long before it was set 70
music by Verdi.

ARREST OF AN ABoLIrIoNIsr IN GEORGIA. a

house of Chas. SCOTT & Co., of Now York, took

were found against him for horse stealing.
Much had been said about arresting him,

to propose that, as @ consideration for his re-

the WAR.
ARMIsTTCE BETWEEN FRANCE
AND AUSTRIA.

On the 9TH inst, The Emperor of the French
| teegraphed 10 the Empress that an armistice
had been concluded between the Emperor OF
Austria aud himself, and that Commissioners
had been appointed TO settle the clause and dn-
ration of the ar.nistice.
The Paris gMonitcg, 10 publishing the off.
era. dispatch, appends the following remarks:
sit is necessary that the public should moi
misunderstood the extent of the armistce. II
is limited merely to relaxation Of bostilities
between the beligerent arues, which. though
leaving the field open for negotiations, does not
enable US, for the present, to sec bow the war
may be terminated
The armistice had given rise to variety of
speculaiions in the English papers.
The London Times believes ia peace, and re-
marks that
"Before the truce has ended the French ar
my will be refreshed and re-enforced. A feet
of gunboats will be ready for launching upon
the lake that surrounds Mantua, and great ar.
ny will be ready TO make It's descent upou The
shores of Northern Italy. Broken and dispir-
tied as Austria now is. she is yet better able TO
fight at this moment than she will be at anv fu
ture tune. We believe, therefore. in peace. and
We believe that the path to peace will be made
smooth to Der, for tue Emperor has won the adj
vantage which FOR the moment he proposes TO
himself. Ii this war betweeu France and Aus
tria is ended, France co1es tremendous in pow
er out of the conflict, aud Austria and Europe
viii look on with sill increasing interests, much
medltating upon the future, whiie she rests up
on her arms.''
lhe London Post inelines TO think that the
proposition for an armistice came from the nod-
Grafton of the Emperor of the French, and is
OF opinion that Austria will consent TO sacri-
nee her Italian sway, and thus end the war.
The London Daag .feps says it would be
interesting to know whether the propositions for
an armistice came from Austria or third Pow
fT, for no one will suppose that it was made by
France. BY whomsoever made, it can have
been accepted only for tho purpose of giving
scope to negotiations.
The London Globe interprets thc ar,nisticv as
prelude to peace.

The Two State Committees representing the
States Rights Democracy on the one hand, and
the Buchanan Democracy on the other, have
just issued addresses, 10 which they pitch into
each other in gallant style. Col. John w.
Fctney is Chairman Of one, aud Bob TYLER of
ihe other. The State Sentinel says ,ha, Bob,s
pronuuciamento "has fallen upon the honest
masses Of the Pennsylvania Democracy still
born," and expresses the opinion that it will
have no more effeet than drop of water pour
ed upon the back of duck. The Penns, ira-
nian, in reviving Forney's Address, and his
Representations of the independent spirit of the
Democracy in Pennsylvania and other States,
gives us the following complimentary languages;
"We don't care fg for what the gatherings
Of very questionable politicians did at Har-
risburg on the thirteenth day OF April, 10 the
year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred
and fifty nine. Nor what Convention re-
solved in Iowa, Ohio, Vermont or Maine. +"
The Pennsy tuanian only appears to care for
the resolves of Buchanan and his pimps. To
hold any opinion in opposition to them is high
treason, and will be punished as such.

Cameron for President.

The Opposition County Convention met at
JohnstowI on Tuesday last. The Convention
was almost full-ouly one district being unrep-
resented. The proceedings were characterized
by harmony and good feeling which we're 10
striking contrast with the boisterous scenes eu-
acted at the recent Democratic Convention 10
the same county. AnexceIlent ticket was no ll
mated, headed by Jacob NJ Campbell for Sem
ator, and Richard j. Proudfoot for Assembly.
We sutJoin portion of the resolutions adopt
ed, by which it will be seen that tho convention
heartily endorsed the State ticket, and unaRi-
mously declared 10 favor Of Hon. SIMON CAM
ERoN as candidate for the Presidency.
Resolved, That We endorse the frank and
manly declaration of principles adopted by tie
!, PeoGle's State Copven:;on held at Harrisburg
ON the 9th day of June last, aud so far as ia US
lies will use all honorable efforts to secure The
ascendancy of those principles in the councils
of the State aud Nation.
ResotUsd, That we will yield an earnest sup
port to Hon. Thos. L. Cochran and Gen. Wm
ii. Kelm, the Peoples candidates for Auditor
General aud Surveyor General of this Common
weaiti--recognizingi in them, as we do, the three
Wasbingtonlan qualifications of honesty, capa-
city and worthiness.
RESOLVED. That the official course of Hon. ST.
mon Cameron, our Senator in Congress, meets
with our hearty approval, aud that, by his firm.
ness aud vigilance in behalf of the industrial
| interests OF bis own State, and in resisting the
ungodly aggression of the Slave Power, he ha.
entiiled himself 10 the gratitude of every true
hearted Pennsylvania.
ResotOed, Ihat the fair fame of our beloved
Commonwealth has been foully tarnlshed by
the reckless, extravagant, uuprincipled and
shamlessly corrupt administration of the Fede-
raj government by her traitor SOP, James gu-
chauan.
ReSofued, That We are to man in favor of
wiping gu; this stain upon our escutcheon, and
copsignlog to everlasting ignominy the name of
the supple tool who has teen instrumental in
producing it.
ResofUsd, That the surest and most efFectual
way OF performing this duty TO ourselves AID
our posterity, is by the nomination and elec-
ton in 1860 of the Hon. Simon Cameron-a
frue son of PennsylVania-to the Presidency of
the Republic.
Resolved, That we are ia favor of his nomi.
nation, sod, II nominated, We pledge ourselves
aud the Peoples Party of s'Iltle Cambria to
roll up for him on the summit OF the Alleghc-
nles vote t, which we can point with pride in
after years.
