Ills authority is not magi-tcral but parental, and
its chief appeal ought, therefore, to be not to
fear but to love- We need not resort to the rod

as the certainty Of punishment We should be
ware Of too strongly exciting the fears of child
rem. Most frightlul consequences haSe some

this principle. Says an English writer; "l

intelligent child as ever was born, made an
idiot Tor life, by being, when about three years
old shut into dark closet by maid servant IN
order to terrify it into silence" wholesome

North Carolina.


The Raleigh Standard has an article
in regard to tho recent Union Conven-
ton in Hyde county, It says:
"Unloss this movement is stopped at
once by the strong arm Of the COnfed-
crate States, more than half Of the coun-
ties in this State will bo attached to the
Black Republican Government before
the Union Congress meets"
The Standard also has a slap at
the Confederate Congress "for leaving
this matter with North Carolina to at.
tend to, when it is very evident that the
State authorities will never make a move
in this direction, owing to the reason
that they are in the same boat with the
Unionists."
The same paper says:
at would not be so surprising If the
counties should grumble a little at the
heavy tax now imposed upon them
but to talk about repudiating the entire
Government because they are taxed
higher than usual is triaing with a Sc.
riOus matter.
"If we we're to have new election to
day for the Legislature and State off
cOrs, no one knows, amid the present
discord, what state Of things might turr
up"
Five of the North Carolina regiment.
enrolled for the war have been disband.
ed and surrendered their arms TO the
State. The Confederate Government
gave them neither pay, food, nor clothes
and the Standard fears that the "othcl
regiments will do likewise unless theil
demands are promptly met"
