concludes a long article:
General Scott fortunately is Virginian
Should armed force become necessary, we should
not send man from the North against South
Carolina, We should gather the chivalry of Ken
lucky, the patriotic citizens of Tennessee, Vir-
ginia and North Carolina, who are not maddened
by this hasheesh of sedtion, that, If possible, il
might be suppressed without bloedshed. The re-
sponsibilit;es of the new President viii be very
great, and we are fortunate possessing sat the
head of the Government in such times, so brave
and clear headed man as Abraham Lincoln
This is a very nice and comfortable programme
The enemies of the South are to sit comfortably in
their parlors while the people of the South cut
each others throats. Without entering into the
political question of secession we think the Bull
letin is much mistaken if it expects any part of
the South to play the part of police and Jack
Ketch upon its own countrymen, whether North
or South The Union sentiment is strong in Vir-
ginia the opposition to secession and qualification
embraces many of our most intelligent and reflect
ing minds; but the idea of bloody domination
and compusion is plant that does not take kind
ly to Southern soil. Virginia would not desire to
bathe her sword in Northern blood. even if those
Northern States which have nulifed the law should
also secede from the Union. She cannot be expect
ed to have less clemency for her Southern than for
her Northern brethren.-Rtchmond Dispatch.

b9~Gen. 10. Lane has addressed letter to the
Breckenridge club of New York, about public
affairs. He takes the ground that the rights of the
South have been menaced and impaired, and its
equality in the Territories destroyed by the same
North which retains on its Statute Books nullify-
ing ordinances. He expresses his opinion that
unless these wrongs are promptly renedied, the
dissolution of the Union cannot be averted. He
denies the right OF the Federal Government to use
force il compelling the submission of a sovereign
State, when its rights have been repeatedly in
fringed, and equality refused to it. The Union
he argues, was not formed by force, and can never
be sustained by force.
Secretaries Cobb, Thompson and Floyd, it is
well understood hold views identical with those of
Gen. Lane.

MISCELLANEOUS READING.

EVILS OF MENTAL PRECocITY.-The follow
ing paragraph from DR.. w. A. CornelPs late
work, entitled "How to Enjoy Life" pres-
euts subject which should be well under
stood by parents and teachers of precocious
children:
"The premature development of the mind
and neglect of the body, have long been pro-
minent evils in our educational system. 1t is
often pleasant to fond parents to see how
bright, intelligent and witty their children
are; and they often find great satisfaction in
showing to others the brilliancy and mental
sprightliness of their precocious darlings.
Such parents know not what they are doing.
All the praise lnvished by such parental fol-
ly, and fond annts, and doting grandparents,
and injudicous friends, tends to the serious
injury and almost certain destruction of their
children. Their keen flashes and sparkling
witticisms are but the indications of an over :
stretched mind and neglected body. Our
many systems Of education thus destroy
many children every year. This neglect Of
the physical. and stimulating the mental
man, is the more to be deplored from the
fact that this early precocity is wholly un-
necessary, because many of the best educat-
ed and useful men the world has ever seen
were very dull pupils in early childhood.
Andrew Fuller, Sir Walter Scott, and Dani-
81 Webster were very dull scholars when
children: and yet who has ever done more
in theological discussion than the former!
Or, who, in the world of intellect, than lthe
second? Or, who, at the Bar and in the Sem
ate, than the latter?
