MORAL INFLUENCE.

The teacher may be instrumental In promising
the moral Improvement OF humanity, as well as
the intellectual. Indeed, be should consider
this an imperative duty and should allow no
opportunity to nstii into the minds OF his pu-
pills. correct moral principles, to pass unheedei.--
We contend that the teacher aud preacher are
co-workers, in the noble canse Of moral reforma-
tion; and each Is dependent upon the other, for a
OF the teacher to give particular Instruction in re-
Ggious creeds, nor to expeund and explain bible
doctrines but, in mis- familiar intercourse with the
child, he may inculcate. both by precept and ex.
ample. moral lessons that win never be forgotten.
He may thus prepare the mind for the reception,
in after life, OF those truas which the preacher pro-
claims from the pulpit. The family circle, ii is
true. s5ossid give direction TIA moral sascepti-
bities of the child; bat Under existing circum-
stances, in the lack of more extended general
education. if the young were wholly dependent
upon these influences, the morals of mlny chiIlren
would not be greatly improved. The parental ex-
ample is not in all cases, sucn as il should be-
The moral education must to aeon s. lerahle extent
accompany the intellectual and whoever iulparts
the latter, can most efectnaIy iacGleate the for
mer. Whoever feeds the Intellect awakens feel
ing Of respect more than any other; aud he who
commands the greatest respect from the young
child exerts tie greatest irRntnee IN forming his
character.
The maa1m, 'As is the teacher so is the school,
loses none Of its force here If he nlabifests deep
and abiding love for bis work. aud allows no dis
couragemeHt to dampen his arior; and at the
same time obtains FIRM hold his pupils, affec.

4he san.e spirit that prompted Luther to re-

profession on earth of which should Ee fonder
than of that of preceptor, should animate every
teacher. Ii is contained In le divine lnilnction
''Thou shalt love The Losd, thy God, with All thy

The n0n.arriya Of the Star OF the West
at her supposed destination of Fort Moutrie il
not ut all strange. There were dozens of telc-
graphic dispatches Immediately sent of to
Charleston, announcing her departure, the mo-
nent she left this port and every preparation
was made by the rebels to prevent her from
entering the harbor The removal of buOys aud
tho extinguisbmcnt of the lights in the light
houses on the coast acts which may lead to the
loss Of thousands of human lives, render it i'm
possible for a ship to approach tho harbor of
Charleston, except in clear weather and in the
day time. Capt Berry Of the steamer Coum-
bia reports that even he, whom the Charleston
ians rewarded for his tratorous conduct by the
gift of a gold-beaded cane could make his way
out of the harbor only BY sending small boat
ahead to take soundngs, and that Gov. Pickens
had ordered all the pilots not to bring
any United States ship over the bar. The
Governor had also ordered the batteries which
had been erected TO open Ere upon the Star Of
the West as soon as she should come within the
range of the guns. Such being the difficulties
that beset the navigation of Charleston harbOr,

Slave States! What for II the two classes love
and trust and bless each other so devotedly now,
why should the one expel the other the moment
they were left free to bless each other without
hindrance, shackle, or suspicion of hypocrisy

we Northern Republicans had meddled with

try to explainl
Presuming the Georgan's understanding has
been opened, we will try to give him another
idea:
Suppose the North did not like the Blacks at
oil, but considered them worthless, degraded,
pernicious race, can he not comprehend that one
might still wish to keep the Territores-the
future homes of our children-free from both
Slavery and Negroes Must one be willing to
see Slavery extended because he thinks Negroes
undesirable neighbors and felOw-citizens' 1t
strikes us not. But We will not insist on this

Lincoln has rendered to Gov. Chase of Ohio the
position of Secretary of the Treasury IN his
Cabinet We earnestly hope that it VIII not be

but his nerve, frmness, and moderation will be

The Ereuing Journal announces by authority
that Mr.. Seward accepts the Office of Secretary
of State, which was rendered to him early IN

responsibility of Withdrawing the invitation to the
President elect, should he think it necessary to
take that step.

The Journal Of Commerce argues deliberately
from the fact that the Protestant and Catholic.
cantOns of Switzerland live together in harmony
that the Free and Slave States of this Union may
also get on in the same peaceful way without
any irrepressible conflict.
Does The Journal forget that in the year
1s46.'47, the Catholic cantons undertook to So
cede, and set up a separate confederation for
themselves? The Federal Government, however.
indicated its authority, the rebels were brought
back TO submission and obedience, and since then
there has been no trouble The question in con-
nection with which the secession enterprise was
undertaken, was put to rest forever.

Buchanan that If was neither wise, nor patriotic,

Buchanan that il was neither wise, nor patriotic,
nor manly for him, in his position, to take ad-
wee or assurances from tratOrs-from men even
then in open rebellion. Not only, however, did
he take counsel Of and give his confidence to
traitors, but he scoffed ard spurned the prayers
and entreaties of true patriots like Gen. Scott
and Mr.. Cass, who urged him not to leave a
scanty and gallant garrison to the mercy OF In
furiated rebels.
Nothing, as the President himself now admits
but the prompt action Of Major Anderson saved
that garrison from destruction. Fort Moultrio
could not have been held for As hours against on
attack, and the President knew it; and yet, with
an army and navy at his command, with hum
dred thousand volunteers ready to rise at a day 3
notice on his call to arms he truckled and tam
pered with rebellion, until almost in defiance OF
orders q gallant soldier was compelled to save
his little force by abandoning fortress OF the
United States to o South Carolina mob. Scarcely
any transaction in our history reflects so much
disgrace on the Government as the c0wardy
neglect of duty in regard TO the forts of Charles
ton Harbor. That anything has even at this late
hour been done to assert the rights and up
hold the dignity of the United States, is due
not to Mr.. Buchanan, but to Gen. Scott and
Mr.. Holt. The cowardicc and imbecllity OF
the President have given a great stimulus ia
treason. Had the rebellion been promptly and
vigorously met at the outset, it would never
have reached It's present dimensions.

the decisive vote of 1873 to 81, the appointment
of Committee with instructions to inquire
whether any Executive officers OF the United
States have been or are now treating or holding
communication with any person or persons for
the transfer of forts and other property; whether
any demand for their surrender has been made,
and by whom, and what answer has been given;
whether any officer or officers have entered INTO
any pledge not to send endorsements OF troops to
the harbor of Charleston, and if co. when
where, BY whom, and on what considerations;
whether the Custom House. POst-Othce, and
Arsenals at Charleston have been seized, and
by whom held in possessions; whether any

papers, and report from time to time such facts
as may be required by the national honor.
