The Riot at Baltimore.

Though We we're disappointed at the rotous
demonstrations of the secpssionists in Baltimore
against the passage Of the troops through that
city yesterday, VIC still believe the Union sentl-
ment Of Maryland and Of Baltimore. ID strong
enough to save that State from the abyss OF trea-
son into which nearly every Slave State seems
now about to plunge. The authorities OF the
city, the Mayor and the police, accompanied the
troops and did what they could to save the rep
utation of the city. But the mob from which
Baltimore has suffered so much Of late, proved
too turbulent for the civil arm. and the troops
turned and fired upon their nssajants.
We hope this demonstration vii! be the last
of treason IN Baltimore. But If again the rebel
mob should assault the defenders Of the Govern
ment on their way to Washington, we trust the
military will sweep the streets with discharges
of lnusLotry that will, by their appalling re
suits, prove a lesson for traitors in Baltimore for
all coming time. Treason can no longer be
safely treated with homeopathic doses Of an-
thorlty. When it next stands in the way CT the
soldiers Of the Government, let this terrible right
arm Of Power be barred till the traitors shall call
upon the dens and cayerns of the earth to hide
them from the jast anger of outraged law.

We are sorry that we have to part, edporial-
ly, with the Educational Editor Of the Inquirer.
We have oeen so edited by bis aCeakiy disser-
tatlons, that like Ohve- Twist, we sswanted
more" But like all things mortal his educa-
tional column has "faded away" and, Judging
editorial have been "iew and full of trouble .
His vaedictory appeared last week. 1t isrich;
decidedly so. After whining like boy who
has not received his quota Of peanuts on a
Christmas day, be hurls his inveclves at the
teachers, and the people Of this county gener-
ally, with a carelessness that might hurt some-
body. His pIesumptioDs on the ignorance that
he says-pervades the county, and his com
phments 10 the people, will hardly induce them
to have more charitable opinion of him, or
The cause which he pretends to advocate. As
travelling missionary, he should have made
it his SPECIAL duty TO 90 among the people Of
this county and inform them what free schools
are. 1t would have had sautary effect, no
doubt.
Bot we are gratfed 10 learn, through him,
that there Is some intelligence among us, for he
says. every fer appreciate tie full advantage
and understand the practical operation OF our
system" Those .fsao must be his patrons.
The editor again makes the suPremely fidic-
ulous assertion that Our column was established

scarcely deserves a notice. II thA, was our
aim, then we are al an end, for like Ohello'=,
our occupations gone" Bot not So. We
have endeavored, and shall still endeavor, 10
do our humble part in building up the great
cause OF education in this county; and the fact
that our contemporary OF the Inquirer has with
drawn from the field, shall only BIZ an incen-
tive 10 greater exertion in our work
His complimentary allusion to US, last week
merits this notice. Long may he live to wear

SCHOOL ETHICS FOR PARENT AND CHILD
No. 90.

Independent of the relations which men sus-
sam TO each other, there are certain require
mentS in regard to themselves which must
be observed. All men have prerogatives and
privileges which must be sustained by their
own interference. To sustain these prerog-
atives and preserve these privileges Inviolate,
men owe themselves the fuflment of certain
duties, which must be observed. 1t is not on
ly necessary that pupils should fulfil al the
duties they owe to each Others, but, in order
that they may reach the grand end soug ht for,
they must fulfil certain
DUTIES TO THEMSELVES.
They should inform Themselves. This is the
ultimate end aimed at by those who send their
children TO sohoo! and, in fact, II is the true OBJ
ject Of all instruction. Improvement seems to
be the universal watchword Of the age. The
slow, though progressive German spirit, does
not seem to be fast enough, and philosophical
teachers are constantly making experme PTS in
their search TO find out some method whereby
a more rapid and more thorough Improvement
may be effected The teachers whole work in
the schoolroom is for the sole object of the I'M
prov,ment of the pupils; but all that he may
attempt to accomplish, ii he labor years and
years, wIl be of no avail, if the pupil do not
attempt to improve himself. Were there no in
htrent force in the germ Of the plant, no life
principle, all theeIa5or of the culivator would
be a mere waste OF time; the seed would re-
main a seed forever, and, become nothing more:
50 viii tie mind of the child, il there be no ex-
ertrous made by the life principle with which
it is endowed, the teachers labors are of no a
vail, for it will ever remain the same mind,
uncutivaled and unimproved. IN order TO be-
come true men and women, il is evident they
must labor TO improve themselves. 1t Is du-
ty they manifestly owe themselves, II they de-
sire to become what Nature intended they
should become. Nature Fever intended man
to be a mere passive recipient, TO receive ev-
e?ything and acquire nothing; but she has Civ
en- him mind and powers to think and act
for himself, and through his own exertions to
become educated and fitted for the duties OF
life. He must not be a mere drone in the hive,
but active and ready to gather the sweets Of
knowledge fo- himself, and no! subsisI on the
products Of the homes. toll Of others.
