LEGIsLATORs, ATTRNrI0E IA LADY
PLEADS FOR JUSTICE TO HER SEX.

CiNcrNnArI, March 4, 1861.
EDS. Cow al am not a lawyer, nor am / well
vsrssd in The technicaities Of the law, nor am l
a woman who meddles with political affairs, nor
yet am ] a Woman's Rights individual in the COM
mon acceptation Of that term. Yet sometimes
there comes under my observation some law re-
port or Legislative act, that even my dull brain
can in a measure comprehend. Amongst these
few cOmpreheOded and noticeable acts, one repor
ted 10 your paper of the End inst, has prompted
me to speak through the medium Of your extern
sively read columns. l may not have rightly I'M
d%erstood the exact meaning and intention Of the
measure l refer to-the act prohibiting married
women from engaging in any business pursuit. i
humbly ask the State Of Ohio not to enslave her
white women, whilst in her great philanthropy
she would free the black slave Of the South. How
many married women, Messrs. Editors, do you
suppose there are, weighed down BY domestic
cares, (which, goodness knows, are enough, with
out any additional labor who would willingly add
thereto by the out door strife allotted to the stron-
ger and sterner sex, did not cruel necessity COM
pei them go to dof How many are there, who,
with drunken, trifing. neglectful husbands, who
provide scantily or not at ell, must labor or starvef
To get rid of a bad husband is no easy matter.
They never die; you dare not kill them; you can
not leave themj so the only alternative left is to
support yourself, children and husband, in as de-
cent q manner as possible. But if the generous
laws spoken of are enforced, the woman may sit
quietly down and starve, 20 to the poor house, Or
do worse. 1t is hard enough to be oppressed with
the duties of fpo devolving on one, but much har-
der to be unable, oven when willing, to provide
the comforts of life for u helpless little family.
How many, in this great city alone, would be
homeless and friendless but for the untiring deyo-
ton Of o mother! How she will and does toll, and
weep, and pray, in her forsaken helplessness, win
only be known when the time comes,
when all is made right which 30 puzzles us
here"
Then, Messrs. Editors, as we all suppose editors
can influence everybody and accomplish every
thing, for once put on the armor of olden time
knights, and fly to the rescue Of prosecuted wO-
men. If you or somebody else does not, 1 for one
will secede. I'll raise a regiment of married wo-
men, and hoist the much abused ensign the enc
mics Of the good old Harrison used deriSively to
fling to the breeze during his Presidential cam
paign, and capture the whole Ohio Legislature
land zoe can do it, put the ringleaders to the
sword, and march in triumph back to the support
of our husbands and children. Now, dear Messrs.
Editors, do save bleodshed, and come out like men.
The sword 10 unshe athed, greedy for slaughter.
Speak, or the Legislature is lost. Yours,

gaT There is some prospect that the
mills recently burned at Watcrvillc, will
be rebuilt during the coming season,
though the matter is not yet quite de-
cided. Nearly all the hands who were at
work in the mill at the time it was burned
have offered to give months work to as
sist the proprietors, should they conclude
to proceed.
ca Several new advertisements which
should appear this week, arc unavoidably
deferred till next week, for want of time
to set them up
ca We had the pleasure, the other
day, of meeting an old acquaintance, who
is well known to the business men in this
county, in the person of Vim. Joslyn, of
Barton. We are indebted to him for
several favors, and are glad to know that
he is doing good business.
ca We are glad to see the announce
ment that Post Master General Holt has
been put at the head of the War Depart
ment Judge Holt is one of the very few
men connected with Mr. Buchanan's Adj
ministration, who have acquitted them
selves with any credit. We may now
hope for better things, from the admins
tration.

there is really no rebellion. If South
Carolinians will not hold offices under the
general government; within her own Dor
ders, some one else must be appointed who
will. If the laws arc resisted the courts
must coerce by force of the laws. To do
this, if necessary, let the Marshal with
his posse comitatus employ his force. If
the people of South Carolina refuse to as
sist him in supporting and enforcing the
law, then as the last resort, the Executive
must send the United States troops to his
assistance. All seizures in the meantime
should be promptly resisted. 1.-THE courts
of the United States in South Carolina
will not take cognizancc of such offences
and punish and restrain them, then an
appeal to arms must be the means of ef-
fecting it.

Flax Cotton Against King Cotton.

A private letter from Boston thus speaks
of recent invention for taxing out"
king cotton
There arc now in operation in this
city experimental works for the manufac-
ture of fax fibre into a material called
fedrilia, or fax cotton. This can be pro-
duced in any quantity at between seven
and eight cents per pound, and the cloth
made from it is better in every respect,
and will take and preserve colors better
than cloth made from cotton. The raw
material, flax, wild or cultivated, can be
produced in Canada and all the Northern
States in vast quantities Colonel Ian
der in one of his recent reports speaks of
coming to plains covered with immense
quantities of this plant growing wild.
Now here is an article which even now
can be had in quantities, SO that its ma
terial can be produced at from two to three
cents per pound less than cotton, which
makes better cloth, and which is destined
to superscde cotton. Slowly but surely
the parties owning the patents for the
process for manufacturing this article are
working it into the attention of our pco-
pie.
The first mill started to manufacture
cloth from this material will be the most
dangerous anti-slavery society in the
world.
With this | send you some of the arti-
Giles and some of the cloth made from it !;
also pamphlet describing it. Some
people are looking to this matter as offer
ing solution of the slavery question.
Napoleon |. offered one million france to
any one who would invent machinery to
manufacture fax by spinning it into cloth. .

matters. Your boy may become weary of
doing light chores, but you do not excuse
him from work on that account, and you
call it an inclination to idleness. Very
few children have been hurt by study.
After one days absence either the teacher
must take the recitation hour from the
remaining class to explain the previous
lesson, or, the pupil must 60 on in the
dark, only half understanding what he
does.
You all love your children we'll, and
would do much for their interest Think,
if it be not for their best interest and sue
cess in life to make their education syste-
matte and constant now. q.

Meeting Of the Legislature.

The Legislature of Massachusetts, con-
venes to-day, and will be promptly organ
lied, though it will not probably proceed
to the dispatch of business before Next
Monday, the remainder of the week being
occupied with the valedictory of Gov.
Banks, the inaugural of Gov. Andrew,
and other preliminary matters. On Fri
day the Legislature will probably not be
in session.
A consideration of the affairs Of the
nation must of necessity assume unusual
prominence in the doings of the Legisla-
ture. Massachusetts is so deeply interes-
ted in the maintenance of the Union that
she cannot look with Indifference upon
the violent connections which now shake
the foundations of the government, and
her Legislature should reflect the public
sentiment It must discuss the affairs of
the nation, and probably it will be called
upon to meet whatever emergency may
arise. The people demand with one voice
that the national government shall be
strengthened to meet rebellion, and that
the Union shall be maintained. The
duty of giving effect to this public SEN
timent devolves upon the Legislature,
and if civil war is to result from the present
complications, the State must be prepared
to meet it. The action of the Legislature
must be determined yet conciliatory-
prompt to defend the rights of our State
and the stability of the federal govern
ment, yet careful not to infringe upon the
rights of others--sparing the feelings of
other States which sympathize with South
Carolina so far as is consistent with the
manly utterance of our own views upon
her reasonable coursc--sceking peace, yet
preparing for whatever other relation the
rebellious State may force upon the nation
al government.-BoSton Journal.

New Years Amuscments.

The coming in of the New Year has
been very generally celebrated by the vo-
taries of pleasure in this comfy.
On the evening of Monday, the 3lst inst,
some fifty couples or more, attended the
ball at the Mansfield House, at Stowe.
They had Robinson's Band for music.
On the same evening, Mr. G. W. Deuio,
who has just opened the Hotel at Eden
Mills, gave a kind Of "house- warming"
we suppose, at which we are informed
there were about fifty couples. By the
way, Eden Mills is growing quite rapidly,
and is getting to be place of considera-
BILE business.
On New Years Evening there was a
ball at, Cambridge Borough but not
having heard from there, we cannot say
what kind of time they had.
At the New Years Ball at the Ameri-
can House. there were ITO couples pres
ent. They had the Montpelier Band for
music; and as for supper and attention,
Col. Keller was at home himself, which is
all that need be said. There was a very
large attendance from out of the county,

Sending Children to School.

Why do you send your child to school ?
Have you any idea? If it is to expand
their minds and make them fit for the or
binary business of life, many of you
greatly err in the means you are using for
procuring that fitness You change teach

to become acquainted with the habits and
requirements of his scholars, and to know
Just what he most needs to learn now, and
how he should learn it.
In many cases it happens the school
is closed for the season, when the pupil
has only begun to be ambitious and un-
derstand that merely going to school. tell
ing the teacher what little he does know,
and trying to conceal the great deal he
does know, is not learning or fitting him
for active life. Then if new teacher
comes the same beaten track is taken. on
ly in different manner, and the child is
discouraged by trying to learn the new
way and loses the matter.

A FAST YOUNG MANA fellow calling
himself Roberts arrived in this village on
Monday last, and procured horse and
sleigh at the stable of Mr.. A. NJ Stevens,
to go to Fairlec, and as he alleged to re-
turn Immediately. At 0 o'clock P. NJ,
he hfd not made his appearance, and as
things looked a little suspicious, Mr..
Stevens, accompanied by two other men,
started in pursuit. Late in the night he
was discovered slowed away in house
near East Thetford, and about daylight,
was arrested by Officer w. f. Pickett
and brought to this village, The horse
and sleigh was subsequently found in
barn at some distance from the house men
toned, together with an extra pair of
buffalo robes, which by some means had
come into his possession. He had en-
deavored to sell the robes belonging to
the sleigh as well as Mr. Stevens dog,
which had accompanied him in his travels.
The matter was finally adjusted, Roberts
delivering up various articles Of personal
property, and taking himself off to "parts
unknown" we hope.-Bradtord 7eie-

FINANCE AND DEMONSTRATING the
last week of the old year the clouds have
continued to lift, and at the close it may
be said that the panic is left behind,
among the things that were. The great
political event of tn, week, the mastery
move of Major Anderson, almost restored
entire confidence in the prepetuity of the
Union, so long as it was supposed to have
been made by orders from headquarters
but when the truth became known that
the gallant officer had acted upon his own
responsibility the inference drawn from
it was not so favorable in that respect,
though it is considered checkmate upon
South Carolina war operations and as
putting Mr., Buchanan into position
from which he will find it difficult to
move without declaring for or against the
government of which he is the nominal
head.-Boston Journal
SPRINGFIELD GossIP.-The Springfield
Qll.,) correspondent Of the n. Y. Herald
thinks the only members of Mr.. Lincoln
Cabinet yet fixed on are: Attorney Gen
eral, Edward Bates; Secretary of the
Interior, David Wilmot; Secretary of War,
John G. Fremont The latter has not
been heard from. New England, says
this writer, will probably be represented
by the Secretary of State, while the Post
master General and Secretary of Navy
will be taken from the South.
FATAL ACCIDENT IN HARTwELLvILLE.-
A sad accident occurred few days since
in Hartwellvill, by which Martin Estes,
a young man n years of age lost his
life. While he was putting belt upon a
pully in the Lumber mill of Mr.. Carrier
the belt slipped and, throwing him upon
a large circular saw, running at the rate
of $500 revolutions a minute, which
caught his leg severing it above the knee
horribly mutilating his thigh almost ia
the body. Those present held the chief
artery until DR.. Bemis, of Stamford
arrived and tied it, who aided Dr. N. S.
Babbitt, of No. Adams, in amputatinp
the limb. But after the operation Mr..
Estes soon died from loss of blood, which
was very great. He leaves q wife and
child to mourn his sudden death.
With commendable zeal the citizens Of

ted $50 to the widow.

TEMPERANCE MEETINGS IN VAUDEVILLE.
The people of this town are fairly
awake and at work in getting up tenn

anee Remarks were made by quite a
number, and James Agnew, Samuel H.
Miller and Michael King, were appointed
as committee to draft constitution and

at meeting to be held on Monday eve
ming next. Over so individuals have
signed pledge of total abstinence.
Success to the cause. We hope they

may not stop with the town of Watervillc
but that it may extend to all the towns in
