FIRST BABIEs-A somewhat extended obser
walton, and solitary experience, have convinced
US that first babies have hard time. Parents
must have two or three children before they
know what a baby is-know how to treat it
properly. The poor little fellows that have the
misfortune to come along first, have to educate
parents to their task, and in the process thew
get spanked, and shaken and abused After
man has three or four children, be learns ehat
whipping or striking child less than two years
of age is barbarism. We knew, oue '.patel nal
head" who struck his first child when only six
weeks old, he actually believing that the child
knew better than to cry. and that he stopped
crying at that particular time because he struck
him. We carry certain notions of children and
of family government into married life, and the
first child is the victim of these notions And
not alone of these, for the parents have not
learned self-coDtrol, and baby is whipped
quite as often because the parent is impatient or
angry. as because it is vicious or intractable.--
We infilct on our first children the AoggiDgs we
ought to have for our own impatience or fret
fulness This pounding children before they
become in Gods eye morally responsible beings
is very strange business. Patience, good peo-
pie, unwearyiDg patiencel Don't wait to learn
it until one of your little ones shall be hidden
under the daisies.

WESTERN VIRGINIA.-A correspondent of the
Alexandria Gazette, writing from the county OF
Marion, under date of December the 22nd says
"Western Virginia is becoming aroused on
the great question of disunion. Groaning under
burden of unequal taxation, the people are
wide awake to their interest. The forum of the
Legislature at Richmond this winter will pre-
sent an interesting scene for demanding and
-conceding rights, long withheld, to the west,
and long cherished by oar eastern brethren in
their enjoyment. The west is uncOmpromisiDg-
ly in favor of the Union, not merely for the
sake of the Union, but for the sacred and ines
timable rights it guarantees to the people.
"lf State Convention is called, the first
question to be settled is the basis of representa-
ton. The west will accept of nothing but the
white basis as now represented in the lower
House.
sl'The Convention, when called, must have
power to amend the Constitution OF the State,
at least 10 that part which exempts large por-
tion of the slave property from taxation.
eff delegates are to be appointed to South
ern Convention, those delegates must be ap-
pointed by districts, arranged on the basis OF the
white population of the State.
1.-The obvious justice of these demands must
commend them to the approval of all just think
ing men. If our eastern brethren withhold
these rights from the west at this juncture 1t
will take one hundred thousand bayonets from
q Southern Confederacy to force western Vir-
glnia into union with the Cotton States. Ne
want all these questions settled before We join
CO partners with South Carolina"

Old Cotton is king, boys-aha!
With his locks SO feecy and white!
He shines among kings like starl
And his is the sceptre of right,
Boys, of right,
And his is the sceptre Of right.
Old Cotton, the king, has no care,
No queen and no heir to his throne,
No courtiers, his triumphs to share,
He rules his dom;nions alone,
Boys, alone!
He rules his dominlons alone
Old Cotton, the merry old boy =
Like smoke from the pipe In his mouth,
His years glide away in their joy,
At home in the warm sunny south,
Bogs, the south,
At home in the warm sunny south!
Old Cotton will pleasantly reign
When other kings painfully fall,
And ever and ever remain
The mightiest monarch of all!
Boys of all,
The mightiest monarch of all!
Then here's to old Cotton, the kingl
His true loyal subjects are we;
Well laugh and we'n quaf and wen sing,
A jolly old fellow is he,
Boys. is he,
A Jolly old fellow Is he!

UNION OF THE STATES. this, says the Jour
nal of Commerce, our great national character
depends. 1t is this which gives US Importance
abroad and security at home. 1t Is through this
only that we are or can be nationally known 10
the world. 1t is the flag of the United States
which renders our ships and commerce safe on
the seas, or is foreign port. All our treaties,
whether of reliance, peace, or commerce, are
formed under the sovereignty of the United
States; and Europe knows us by no other name
or title.
: The division of the empire into States is for
our own convenience; but abroad this distinction
ceases. The affairs of each State are local. and
were the whole worth of any one of them -ex-
pended 10 revenue, it would not be sufficient to
support sovereignty against powerful foreign
Toe. In short, we have no other national soyer-
eighty than as United States. 1t would be fatal
for Us if we had-too expensive to be maintain
ed, and impossible to be supported. individuals
or individual States, may call themselves what
they please but the world, and especially the
world of enemies, is not to be held in awe by
the whistling of name. Sovereignty must
have power to protect all the parts that compose
and constitute it. As the United States we are
equal to the Importance of the title, but other
wise we are not. Our Union, well and wisely
regulated and cemented, is the cheapest way of
being great, the easiest way of being powerful,
and the ehappiest inventioni in government, because
it collects from each State, that which, by being
inadequate, can be of no use to il, but forms sn
aggregate that serves for all. fsalse
1t is with confederated States as with in1iy;..-
uals in society; something must be yielde.l -
