so as to have the Adiutant General
a member Of the Board-to allow
the Governor to appoint one and
four others; two to be elected by
the House and two by the Senate.
Mr. Allen said the bill did not
propose to erect a body corporate
TO last forever. The Board was
merely temporary; the next Legis
lature might abolish it entirely: the
bill simply provided that the Gov.
ernor should name a Board whose
duty it would be to prepare for the
state a system Of military tactics
and organization, and TO report to
the next session of the Legislature.
lie thought the House could trust
the Governor and four others he
might name, in regard to this mat
ter. He believed the amendment
entirely unnecessary.
On motion the amendment was
indefinitely postponed. the ques-
ton being ON section three provi-
ding for distribution Of arms.
Mr. McFee wanted to amend the
bill 80 that each parish should be
allowed arms sufficient 10 equip nj
least one volunteer company, in
fantry or cavalry, as the case may
be. lie said that they were here
about to appropriate 100000 for
the purchase Of arms, aud TO leave
it entirely within the discretion of
the Governor and his appointees
to determine how these arms should
be distributed.
A discussion arose in which
Messrs McFee, Marks, Dupuy.
Lindsay, Tarleton, Coleman and Al
len participated. Mr. Coleman Oh
ieotej to the appropriation Of the
Internal Improvement Fund, to
carry out the provisions Of the bill.
Various amendments were proposed
and lost. The bill finally passed.
The House then took up Senate
bill providing for State CoDven.

Mr.. Hamilton moved to amend
section first so as 10 submit the
question of Convention" or "No
Convention TO the people at the
same time they were called upon
TO elect delegates. He said this
was extraordinary proceedings.
They were calling a Convention
without consulting the people as to
whether they wanted it or not. The
action of that Convention may
plunge us into revolution. IL was
of the life and soul of such a move
ment that there should be entire
unauimity of sentiment. Pass this
bill in it's present form and some
may consider IL an arbitrary as
sumption of power The effect of
amendment would not be to create
any delay. Both elections was in
regard to the Convention, and that
for delegates would occur at the
same time. IF the Convention was
even carried many Of its opponents
would at least be- satisfied. Act
otherwise and you may destroy that
concord of feeling which it is ne
cessary should exist in times Of re.
volu,ion. On the other hand. if the
peopled voted down the Convention
a great expense might be saved to
the State.
Mr.. Barry had not consulted with
Mr.. Hamilton or any one else. He
had but few words to say. He
might be considered scrupulous
old fogy, but he came forward and
took an oath TO support the Con.

AN EDITOR ON EDITING.

Artemas Ward, alias Brown, late local edi-
tor of the Cleveland Plaindealer; gives the
following advice to young men who aspire TO
become editors of newspapers:
Before you go for on editor, young man,
pause and take big think! Do not rush in.
to the editorial harness rashly. Look around
and see if there is not an omnibus to drive
some soil somewhere to be tilled-a clerkship
or some meat cartto be filled anything that
is reputable and healthy, rather than going
for an editor, which is hard business at
best Ii.
We are not horse, and are consequently
not been called upon to furnish the motive
power for q threshing machine; but we fancy
that the life of the editor who is forced to
write, write, write, whether he feels right or
not, is much like the steed in question. If
the yeas and neighs could be obtained, we
believe the intelligent horse would decide
that the threshing machine is preferable to
the sanctum editorial. ~. zraas.
The editors work is never done. He is
drained necessarily, and no wonder that he
dries up prematurely. Other people can at
tend banquets, weddings, &C., visit halls of
dazzling light, get inebriated, break windows
lick man occasionally, and enjoy themselves
in variety of ways; but the editor cannot.
He must. stick tenaciously to bis quill. The
press, like sick baby, mustn't be left alone
for minute: If the press is, left to run it.
self even for day, some absurd person in
dignantly orders the carrier boy to stop
bringing "that Internal paper There's moth
ing in it. . won't have it in the house!'
The elegant Mantalni, reduced to mangle
turning, described his life as "a dem'd her
rible grind" The life of the editor is all Of
that. s.
But there is a good time coming, we feel
confident, for the editor--a time when he will
be appreciated; when he will have 8 front
seat; when he will have pie every day. and
wear storeclothes continually; when the harsh
cry of Stop my paper!" will no more CRATE
upon his ears. Courage, Messieurs the Edi-
tors. - --~-.,.t...r..l l5:. as, =.
Still, sanguine as We are of the coming of
this jolly time, we advise the .aspirant for
editorial honors to pause ere he takes up tho
quill as means of obtaining his bread and
butter. Do not, at least do SO until you
have been Tilted several dozen times by like
numbers Of girls until you have been knock
ed down stairs and soused in a horse-pond--
until all the gushing" feelings within you
have been thoroughly subdued-until, in
short, your hide is of rhinosceros thickness.
Then, Q aspirants for the bubble reputation
at the press mouth, throw yourselves among
the inkpots, dust, and cobwebs of the print
ing g:offra IF von will.

DIANOS AND MELODEONS.-I have now a
Z choice lot of the above Instruments, some just
landed per steamer Monticello, from the justly cell
ebratcd Manufactures of Horatio Worcester and
Carhart, Needham & Co., which, for beauty of
finish, sweetness und power of tone, easy touch
and durability of wear, never have been and can
not be surpassed by any thing made on the CONT
neut of America. .".+~,-
The above declaration being established by the
testimony of hundreds Of the best judges in the
land who have tested their merits by actual exper-
iment, will venture to state two very valid rea-
sons why you should buy of me, in preference
ever to buying or ordering from the factory, as I
have yet to hear of the first complaint Of any de-
feet in any Piano sold by me during the six years
have been in the business. ...s .l.a
In the first place, then, will sell at precisely
the same prices charged at the factory, and thus
you save freigh insurance, and commissions for re-
ceiving and forwarding.
In the second place, you leave in one of your
Virginia towns the small profit make upon the
sale, and to that amount, ut least, you contribute
to the sustaining and fostering trade industry and
enterprise at home, where it is to react bene-
fcialy upon Yourself and others. ...
All of which I respectfully submit to your can
did consideration. JOHN H. PARROTT.
