10 Mh OM Agm- ChaU -
In this City, at present, there is
nothing of special importance TRANSPORTING
The Merchants have had favorable spring
trade, and are preparing for still more
prosperous fall business. Our late abun-
dant harvest, every where, has inspired
general confidence, and the country will
again be prosperous, despite the efforts of
croaking speculators, doubtless beyond
preced cnt.
The Prince of Wales, arrived on last
Tuesday, at Saint Johns, New Foundland, 3,
in British Canada, and is receiving the
homage of Her Majesty's silly subjects
And who is tn, Prince of Wales ? He is
the eldest Son of Queen Victoria, boy of
about 10 years old, with thick skull,
who is the heir apparent to the Throne of
England.
The young Prince, after visiting certain
portions of his Mammals British Domn-
ion, will doff his "Royal Robes, and visit
Washington City, and other parts of Ameri-
ca, under the cognomen of plain (simple)
"Baron Renfrew."
Politics are growing exciting and IN
creasingly interesting in this meredian.-
The Douglas-ites, under the leadership Of
Mr.. Traitor Forney, make the most noise,
whilst the Breckenridge men, here as else.
where, have the numerical strength and
are the only party who is sound in the po-
litical faith.

Editor Of Col. Democrat,


DEAR SIR If it will not in.
trude upon your columns, please insert tic
following thoughts in relation to the rising
generation
The youth of our country arc dcgenera.
ting in regard to morals, and in my esti.
nation it is chiefly attributable to want of
proper parental restraint. 1t was the Gus
tom, formally, for children to consult their
parents, but the order is now reversed,
aud parents have to enquire of their chill
dron if they do thus and SO, i am firm
believer in strict parental government, and
in my opinion there is nothing conduccs
more to ths%cll being of society, than the
proper ,so1trol that parents have or rather
should 'haF6, over their children. There
shoula11o no such words in the family vo,
cabuiary as tilcse: ~ cant control him"
"Her disposition is such that it will be i'm
possible ios1le to subduo it, Or control it.'
If c5ih get to hear whisper of this,
(ond Nlpk<they don't know themselves
tlare~1fe diva. $ offic.ou nci yhlors enough
TO tell) then it is indeed hard to govern
then. One great mistake in parental au.
thorit y, think, is in governing too much
That is, we tell our children to perform
certain thing, with but very little concern
whether they do them or not, and the con-
saqu,uc, i, il neglect to observe that which
we strictly intend them to do We should
be very careful not to tell them anything
to do, only what we intend them to per
form to the very letter y habit Of puuc>
tueiity once formed in tAi5 way, it is no
hardship for them to obey. Thon they
think nothing else than to perform imme-
diatcly what they. are told to do. a lack
Of this wholesome restraint is one great
cause in my estimation, Of the corrup. stat,
Of morals and disgracetul con luct Of III,
rsiug gcncration If they are permi,t1d
to grow up without proper restroint, they
are then prepared to transgress the ci.iI
laws Of our country, and bring blasting
stigma not only upon themselves but their
parents and a with whom they are co4.
nected. And how it must wiring the cou.
sciences OF parents when their Children are
thus degraded through their neglect. Not
only do they violate the civil laws OF yar
country with impunity, but the higher laws
of the Almi -hty. Let parents commeac.
then at the fountain head Jet each o tend to
the government OF their own household
Have them respect their word. have them
respect the laws Of the land, and above all,
the laws Of God, and the wheels of society
will move on without 50 much collision and
disorder. Let each look well to his own
house and leave his neighbours bu,ura
alone.

Mex. Mckinney Craig.

This young man who enlisted on the
I'd July, 1853, in the Cavalry company of
the United States, commanded by Captain
James Oakes, (who by the way is most
perfect gentleman and gallant soldior) was
discharged on the I'd inst, at Fort Inge,
Texas having served out his time. Mr.,
Craig is son Of the late Moses Craig,
and a nephew of the late William McKin-
ney, who were both we'll known and high
ly esteemed in this county.
The blood, as we think, OH both sides,
would have justified the expectation of Just
such a discharge as our noble young friend
received from his Captain, which couclu

The Republican party was in the minor
ity on the popular vote 165, oil then, and
is no stronger now. An Union ticket
then supported by all opposed to Fremont,
would have been carried by majority,
larger than the number of votes given him
in the State and an union ticket ',o,o will
defeat Lincoln as badly. But should it
not receive the support of the Bell and
Everett men, nor any part of their friends
it still can carry by at least as large a
majority as III 1856. There will be also
margin for disaifected democrats, of ma
ny thousands.
Nearly all who have voted against the
party at the State elections since 1856, or
refused to vote at all, have been induced
to do 50, on account of their opposition to
Mr.. Buchanan and his partisan friends, but
will Eow vote chcerfully for Douglas whom
they consider likewise opposed to the pow
ers at Washington.
Thus it is evident that the regular dem
ocratic electors can be chosen in this State
by eighty odd thousand majority, if sup
ported by the entire democracy; and by
double that majority, if supported by the
Bell and Everett party But, if the latter
insist in running a ticket Of their own, and
the bolting democrats make war upon the
regularly nominated electors, the result
will be close with the hope however of
success. We must believe that as the day
of election approaches, the friends of Ma
tional President will unite in the laudable
effort of defeating Mr.. Lincoln. They
may hesitate and negotiate for many
weeks, still when the hour of trial comes,
the importance of defeating the sectional, :,
disunion, John Brown party will be concc.
ded by the friends of the Union, and their
votes will be cast accordingly.
