AN AMAZONIAN LEADER.

One of the features Of the First
Tennessee Regiment is in the person
of a brave and accomplished young
lady of but eighteen summers, and Of
prepossessing appearance, named Sa-
rah Taylor, Of East Tennessee, who is
the step-daughter of Captain Dowden,
of the First Tennessee Regiment.
Miss Taylor is an exile from her
home, having joined the fortunes of
her step-father and her wandering COM
panions, accompanying them in their
perilous and dreary fight from their
homes and estates. Miss Taylor has
formed determination to share with
her late companions the dangers and
fatigues Of military campaign. She
has donned neat blue chapeau, be-
meath which her long hair is fantastic
ally arranged bearing at her side a
highly finished regulation sword and
silver-mounted pistols in her belt, all
Of which gives her very neat and
martial appearance. She is quite the
idol Of the Tennessee boys. They
look upon her as asecond Joan of Arc,
believing that victory and glory will
perch upon the standards borne in the
ranks favored by her presence. Miss
Captain I. is all courage and skill.
Having become an adept in the sword
exercise, and sure shot with the pis-
tol, she is determined to lead in the
van of the march, bearing her exiled
and oppressed countrymen back to
their homes, or, if failing, to offer up
her own life's blood in the sacrifice.

School Management.

Every boy or girl, in schools not
primary" has school.conscicnce,
which decides ON all actions contem-
plated or begun. Every misdemeanor
is known as such and denounced as
such, by this conscience, and no set
Of rules, however full and explicit,
can be Of any real assistance to it.
Moreover, the child knows full well
that the teachers conscience is the
same with his own. The boy, about
to commit an action, concerning which
there has even the least warning been
given by his inward monitor, keeps
one eye on the teacher, and when he
discovers that he is observed, he stops.
Good boys rarely look off from their
books bad boys, usually watch the
teacher. One rule only, then, need be
made, viz /: "Do nothing which your
school-conscience tells you is wrong. !"
This covers the whole ground, and no
other rule or furlong Of rules can. Of
course, this conscience may be. de-
praved, but it is never entirely scared.
1t may be educated, and made to ap-
preciate the law. The child's heart,
too, may be influenced to love the
school and the teacher, and it may
help the conscience to become strict
to warn against actions which are

Hon. Thomas II. Benton, Jr.

The State Board of Education has
unanimously reelected Hon. Thomas II.
Benton, Jr., as its Secretary. This is
just the result which the people desir-
ed and anticipated. For many years
Mr.. Benton has been intimately asso-
ciated with the educational interests
of Iowa. His sympathies have ever
been with the cause of popular educa-
ton /; and possessing the entire conf
dence Of the people, he has been en-
trusted time and again with the gene.
raj supervision Of Iowa Schools.
Since the Inauguration of the new
school system, he has labored devot.
cdly to give it efficiency, by familiar.
izing the masses with it's provisions,
by stimulating teachers to renewed
activity, by counseling with Snperin-
tendents, and by giving an impulse to
Institutes and Associations all over
the States. His report to the Board,
which is now through the press, will
be found to contain more intelligence
on the subject of Iowa Schools than
has heretofore been presented to the
public. 1t is mass of information
industriously collected from the differ
ent counties, and it shows in compen
dious form the present status of the
system adopted in lS5S.-Des Moiae.

WASHINGTON YANKEEISM.

Washington is essentially Yankee
city, at the present time. In every
department business is thriving to
degree unparalleled in its history.
Real estate has advanced to uncxpec-
ted figures, and it is a matter of i'm
possibility, to find suitable accommo-
dations for the vast influx of business
pouring in upon us. Enterprise is
now the watchword, where a short
year ago inactivity and decay prevail
ed. Vigorous competition has reduc-
ed the price of many of the necessa-
ries of life. Old monopolies have
been scattered to the winds, and the
consumer generally has been benefit
ed by the change. The Washington
of to-day is totally different from tho
Washington of 1860 Many are un-
acquainted with the cause of the trans
formation, and look with wondering
eyes at what is only legitimate con-
sequence. The fact is, the antiquated
coaches of the past regime have rolled
away, and the lightning locomotives
of Northern energy replace them. Thus
will it be in other latitudes than this.
The fossil remains of an obsolete idea
will but serve as mementoes Of dark
er age, and happiness and prosperity
will be the results Of its annihilation.

The Army Bill.

The Committee of the House to
whom was referred the subject of the
consolidation of the regular army and
volunteers, have presented an elabo-
rate report recommending that the
bill do not pass. The following is the
substance of the ground taken by
them:
No fact is more clearly deducible
from the Constitution than this-that
there should always exist in the coun-
try two different and distinct classes
of military organization, the one a
permanent organization, to be raised,
supported, armed and disciplined by,
and belong to, and represent the whole
Union, as a Federal army the other
temporary organization, to be raised
by the respective States whenever the
exigencies of public danger in the OBJ
struction Of the laws, the raising OF
instructions, and the fact Of invasions
should necessitate the use of a larger
force than that possessed by the Fed
eral Government-to be called into
being only upon extraordinary occa
sions--to preserve their distinct char
acter as volunteers or militiamer
during the term of their service, ant
to be disbanded again when the occa
sion which had called them forth ha,
passed away.

REVISION OF MAIL ROUTES.

From our experience in ionrnalizing
we have had good opportunities for
learning that important deficits exist
in the postal facilities of this State,
especially in the Western aud Soutil-
western counties. The Postoflice De-
partment is ready to amend them as
fast as it is informed aathoritatively
of the necessities of a ch,,nge. Inas-
much as the time for the next letting
OF contracts is not far of, we suggest
to postmasters and all others inter-
ested, the propriety Of recommending
to the Department such changes in
routes, connections, and schedule time
as shall best subserve the public con-
venieDce and increase the postal facil-
tiles Of the State. This should be spe-
cific, with statement Of reasons, aud the
communications should be addressed
to the Contract Office Of the Post Of
flee Department. We trust the editors
Of the State will call attention to this
subject that the movement may be as
general as possible.--State Register.
