THE KENTUCKY ELECTION.
The worse-and-worse aspects from Kentucky
are crushing to the Breckenridge men here. Some
of their National Committee admit tina, oil is lost
before the people. The remark is attributed to
the President, that Bre ,kiDridge has more sup
port in Kentucky than he himself has in Pennsyl-
yania.
DELINQUENT P0STMASTERs.
The Auditors Office of the Post-Offce Depart
ment in settling the accounts of small Jstmasters
throughout the country, find that large Lumbers of
them cannot square their accounts, by reason of
having used for private purposes the hostages
which accumulated in their hands from the time
that Congress failed to pass the Post Office APP
preparation bill up to the succeeding session. This
class of Pottmasters are those who pay their dues
TO Government upon drafts in favor of mail con-
tractors. The sums are, of course, small, and the
suretes probably sufficient in most cases, but the
fact of this kind of default exhibits wide spread
Generalization that disgraces the country. Mr..
Holt will remove all who do not prom pity pay the
balance found against them.

Female Education.

Shame on us, that we who boast Of hav-
ing raised women, in the nineteenth CEN
tury, to the position in life which she
ought to hold, so educate her that not one
of her powers, mental and physical, can
ever attain full and healthy action. Bet
ter 90 back to the days of our great
grandmother, and be content with Dill
worth's Spelling Book and -Assemblys
Catechisn-nay, better go to far earlier
days when neither catechsm OF spelling
book detained the damsel from the qistati'
or the loom, than rear for the coming
generation race OF nervous wives and
sicllly mothers.
When the boy runs merrily after his
ball, or chascs in the race, or leaps over
the bound, the girl must walk demurely in
the garden, because, forsooth, running, or
leaping and jumping, are ungracefnl in
the girl. When the boy runs freely over
the hills, through the woods in the sum-
mer, or coasts down the hill, or skates
men'iIy over the pond in winter, the girl
untrustcd unbctitted, walks pensively by
the side of her teachor, to the village, or
takes two mile airing i'll The sleigh once
week. In fact. she never thoroughly
exercises her body at all, and in conse-
quencc very soon becomes unable to en-
durc any kind of physical fatigue.
Fit only for boys" said a principal of
a large female institute to me: the other
day, when demonstrated with him on
the Importance of these and other little
exercises for the girls. For boys, indeed !.
And has not girl physical system to
be developed and matured and invigora-
ted? Has she not fatigue to bear, obsta-
clcs to encounter, hindranccs to overcome.
enterprises to carry out, duties to dis
charge? Has she not the burden of life
to carry, and its tolsome road to travel
for herself? In her own sphere, does she
not require, through life, all the energy.
strength and endurance OF which hef Sys-
tenn shall be capable? 1t matters not
whether she is to live in the midst of
fashion, or to move quietly in circles of
country life, or to find her lot on mission
AIRY ground, or to struggle against unforc-
seen adversely, all that can be made of
her during her years of education, physi-
cally, morally, intellectually, she will need.
To every woman, whatever situation
she may occupy, life is a fact stubborn,
earnest, real, to be shaped and moulded
by her own efforts, or to be borne and en-
dured by her own fortitudc. Happy is
she who is prepared for it, not by her own
despairing efforts in after life, but by the
| judicious, careful, and thorough discipline
of early cducation.-C0m. ADJ.

as we learn from the Watchman, a negro
was taken up in Sumter on whose person
was found orders on various merchants in
that town, and sundry forged passes. One
Of the orders was for rife-pistol The
negro pretended to disclose an insurrcc-
tionary plot, involving some four white
men, One white man was arrested on the
charge offorgery. After an examination,
it was evident that the so-called plot was
fabrication Of The negro. The white
man was discharged and the negro re-
manded to jail.

Hon. w. W. BoYcE.-We take the
pleasure in stating that our distinguished
Representative, Mr. Boyce, will be return
ed at the approaching Congressional elcc-
ton, without opposition. His present
attitude on Federal politics is worthy OF
the highest commendation, and we hope a
full vote will be given in his entire Dis
trict, evidcncing the high appreciation III
which he is held by an intelligent and pa
triotic constituency We earnestly desire
that Kershaw will bear it's attcstation and
approval of his present position, and to
this end, printed tickets will be furnished
at ell the boxes III the District, at which
every voter will have an opportunity to
give approval to Mr.. Boyce's present po-
sition, especially of mis- readiness to secede
if Lincoln is elected President Of these

Col. RUDLER-Col Rudler, of Alabama,
who was shot by the Honduranos, with
Gen. Walker, was an officer in one of the
Southern volunteer regiments in the Mex
ican war; lie emigrated to California in
1S49. A letter says:
He was an active member of the Wing
party during the Presidential election in
1852, and in 1854 he received the nomin-
alton of that party for the office Of Sheriff
of San Joaquin county, but was defeated
by the Democratic party, which elected
their whole ticket. In 1855 he disposed
Of his property and left California to join
General Walker in Nicaragua, and has up
to this time been with him in all his expe-
ditions. 1t was Col. Rudler's greatest
fault in having been, by some unaccount-
able means, infatuated with Walker and
his destiny, although those who arc well
acquainted with Col Rudler will readily
admit that he was in every respect the
superior of General Walker, in point Of
sound judgment and discretion, and had
he been the leader Of the party in Mica
ragua far different result would have
been realized Col. Rudlcr was a true
and brave soldier, gentlemanly in all his
intercourse with his fellow men mild and
quiet in his demeanor, and honorable in
all his dealings; he certainly deserved a
better fate, and his death will casta gleom
over large circle of friends, both in the
Southern States and California. Col. Rud-
ler was young man, not far from thirty
years Of ago.

A NOBLE STATE R1GnTs MAN-Leut
Governor Montague, ssof Virginia, was
elected with Governor Letcher in May
last, but received q larger vote by thou
sands than Letcher In the canvass, Mr.
Montague made speeches in every county
in the State, taking the strongest State
Rights grounds. The Lieutenant Cover
nor is now, of course, for Breckenridge
and Lane, and has recently made speech
at Warrcnton. A correspondent Of the
Alexandria Sentinel says:
He declared himself States Rights
Democrat, in favor Of secession whenever
our rights under the Constitution were
tiagrantly violated and there remained no
other redress. tfhe right OF secession iir
claimed to be an original and cardinal doc
trine of the Virginia school, taught by
Jefferson, Madison, Taylor, Giles and 9TH
ers. A doctrine again and again afimcd
by Virginia, and especially--i in 1892, when
secession, not notification, was declared
the rightful remedy. Mr.. Montague allu-
ded to the last Gubernatorial election in
Virginia, as avindication of States Rights,
and instanced as proof his majority over
Gov. Letcher. "The weight Of The Ruff
nor pamphlet would have been moro than
he could bear, had he not cast his burden
on States Rights. The speaker scorned
the idea of its being treason to take up
arms in support of sovereign rights, and

tions of its society, its enormous accumu-

tions of its society, its enormous accumu-
lated wealth. its diversified industry, its
very existence as country, are all i'm
perilled by an agitation which, originating
in opinion, has never risen above the low
level OF q reckless fanaticisn. The Won
der is, not that the South now displays
sensitiveness under attack-not that 1t
bids aggressors mind their own business,
or prepare for the penalties Of informed
dling-not that it insists that the annoy
ances, the insults, the losses it has suffered
shall come to an end; for, in truth, the
Southern people would be more or less
than human if these manifestations were
withheld. The wonder is, that after all
this provocation, and in the presence of
menacing hosts, they are still content to
demand only the plain and just protection
which the Constitution provides for their
benefit. They ask for their States equal
ity under the Union, and no more. They
seek for their property protection under
the Constitution, and nothing else. And
the world will hold them justified in in
sisting upon these terms, with secession
as the alternative.
Nor will the adoption Of bullying
tone, whether by Douglas or an An
drew, a Lincoln or a Know-Nothing, re-
move the necessity that exists for meeting
this issue frankly in the pending contest
for the Presidency. The Black Republi-
can army of Wide Awakes will not be
equal to the task of dragooning the South
into submission to the invasion of its
rights. Though Mr.. Douglas be Mr.. Lin
coins right-hand man, the threat to coerce
the South into compliance with whatever
Black Republican law-givers dictate, will
but nerve the Southern people to sterner
resolves and more energetic action. Alb
stract reasoning about the right of Sc
cession" amounts to nothing. The only
thing requisite for us at present to know
is, that the South will not submit to di-
minution of its rights, in the Territories
OF in the States, and that the people of the
South are able to take care of themselves
when the General Government shall be
converted into symbol Of hostility.

INTERESTING FROM JAPAN.-An arrival at
San Francisco from Japan brings news of the
return of the japanese steamer to that coun-
try with news of the reception the ambassa-
doris had met with in this country. The at
tention paid them caused great satisfaction at
home. An earnest desire was expressed for
the return of the embassy and the publication
of their official reports. The fact has come
out that Prince Mcto, who made the unsuc-
cesstul attempt to overthrow the existing dy-
nasty, is not opposed to intercourse with for
eigr ers, as the Japanese officials falsely rep
resented, but on the contrary goes for the
freest intercourse and trade, and to promote
this was the object of his attempt at revolu-
ton. The existing dynasty feared he might
have substantial aid from the foreigners if
his objects were understood, and so lied
about him-a fact showing that with all their
Wanted simplicity the japanese arc as crafty
as clique of American politicians and use

however, remains to be told. In the evening

house where the Judge was stopping and
loudly called for him. As he did not make
