United States, Feb. Is. 1862
rsa.Amos Kendall is known nn nrer the
United States, Feb. Is, 1862.

rA- Amos Kendall is known all over the
continent as one of the leading minds of
the old Democratic party. He writes an
article in the National Intelhgencer of
Monday, and the following paragraph taken
from it suggests volumes:
The cause or Causes of the rebellion
may be summed up in the single phrase,
Pride Of Wealth and Last for P01cer.-
These are not peculiar to the South, but
have their influence in the North as we'll
North and South they pervade, with homo
| rablc exceptions, those classes of society
| which find means to live and to enrich
themselves without manual labor. North
as well as South the feelings of these clas-
ses revolt against Government controlled
by the tciling millions, and would overthrow
1t if they could In the North the attempt
would be hopeless, and the aristocratic clas-
ses quietly acquiesce in things as they are.
In the cotton region Of the South the la
borers have no political rights, and the ar
lstocratic classes govern in all that relates
to local affairs. But they are not content
with that Their pride revolts at associa-
ton in any Government, however mild and
benefcent, in which laboring men partici-
pate, directly or indirectly To get rid of
such Government, though it has been
the chief source of all their prosperity, is
the object of the present rebellion. The
avowed design of the South Carolina lead
ers is the organization of community COM
posed of gentlemen and laborers, in which
the gentlemen shall be masters, and the la
borers their slaves. To this end they were
before the rebellion broke out, avowedly in
favor Of reopening the African slave trade,
and have since submitted with bad grace
to restriction in their Confederate Consti-
tuition, dictated by an apprehension that it
would not be safe at present so far to out
rage the feelings of the civilized world

Sensitive People.

There is no help for being sensitive, but
it ought to teach a person tenderness to-
wards others. 1t does not, however A
great many people who pride themselves
upon their frankness, and always speak
their mind are the very last ones who will
hear the same things from anybody else
They never are untrue to their convictions
not they. They mean to be faithful, and
do their duty, and SO they are always far
ing your faults in the most offensive man
ner But go to one of these people-say
to him, Mr.. Hetchell, feel it my duty to
tell you that your temper is not the sweet
est, that your children behave bad at school,
that they lie, pinch, play truaht, and are
dirty into the bargain"-and 10! you have
disturbed a whole wasp's nest of evil pas
sions, and probably your family and the
Hetchels will be put in non-intercourse all
the rest of your life. Speaking ones mind
with these people, means their privilege Of
sticking needles into every ones feelings
they choose, whereas sll the ncighberhood
must be sweet as summer towards them.

Work For the Little Ones.

WoTR or LQS Little UneS.
One Of the principal causes of disorder
in our country schools, is the want of suffi
cient employment for scholars, especially
the smaller ones. Those who are consid-
erably advanced in reading, generally pur.
sue . sufficient number of studies to en-
ploy their time, while the younger ones
who are Just commencing to read and are,
consequently, unable to study anything be-
side their spelling and reading lessons, are
often left without employment.
In country schools of the proper size,
small scholars receive about four lessons a
day. Now, it would be absurd to suppose
that they can be proftably engaged all the
time not occupied in recitation, in prepar-
ing four spelling and reading lessons
They may perhaps be compelled by the
yigilant eye Of master to keep their eyes
upon the book, but this will only serve to
weary and disgust them with their lesson.
Children, however, will be employed,
and when the lesson is prepared, if no
lawful employment is ready for them, they
will probably be engaged in talking to
their neisl.bors, throwing paper balls, and
in mischief generally, causing the teacher
great deal of annoyance. There are var
ious ways in which employment may be
provided for these little ones.
Children should all be, aud generally
are provided with states. With these they
can be both pleasantly and proitably en-
ployed. Writing spelling and reading les
sons upon the slate is valuable exercise,
and scholars generally prefer to prepare
them in this way, Alter the lesson is pre-
pared, they should be encouraged to make
drawings of familiar objects, maps, or
whatever their fancy may suggest.
Small children, without exception, de-
light in these exercises If the teacher
possess any skill in drawing, he can draw
models on the blackboard for them to i'm
itate, and occasionally give them directions
with regard to forming outlines, which they
are apt to make too strait and stiff. He
can show them the beauty of curved lines
by calling their attention to natural objects
the form of birds and animals, the wind
ing course OF streams, the outlines of
leaves and flowers In this way they may
acquire considerable skill in drawing, and
be led to observe nature more closely them
selves. When they become tired of the
slate, it is we'll, if there be a sufficient
amount of blackbo surface, to let them
draw upon it. Here they will enjoy great
er freedom of motion, and the uncouth po
sitions which they are sure to take when
they become weary of sitting, will be pre-
vented. ZED.

Mason in Queer Company.

4 letter dated London, Feb. 9th, to the
Manchester Express and Review, says:
The session has just been opened with
the usual tormalities, but the fear of losing
the post forbids me going into anything
but the mere outside preliminaries. The
attendance in the House was very small
in fact the speech was spoken to pretty
nearly empty benches. The pers.n who
attracted most attention was the Southern
Commissioner, Mr. Mason, who had seat
in one of the side galleries. He has rather
distinguished air; bold features, with an
acquiline nose, high forehead, which seems
the higher by his badness a good square
mouth, fringcd by black moustache alto
gether not man which an experienced
eye would pass carelessly over. Singularly
enough, his next ueighbor was negro of
the deepest dye, one of the Uaytian embas
sy, | believe; at all events, ne must have
been of note to have got place in that ex-
elusive locality. Necessity brings people
into strange companiouship; and the au-
thor of the Fugitive slave law, and the most
thoroughgoing supporter of the institution,
under other circumstances would certainly
have been terribly riled at the box keeper
who had ushered him into such disagreea-
BILE company. / noticed that he listened
very intently to the speech until the end
of the paragraph relating to the Trent af-
fair had been read, and then clasped his
hands over his knees, leaned back, and yaw-
ned vigorously, as though he were terribly
bored by the whole business

n9-The thought Of loosing this conscious
life, of having this bright flame go out,
and existence buried down deep in the
grave of endless night is appalling. The
mere possibility Of annihilation, to sensi-
tive spirit, to heart gushing with affec-
tion, to mind filled with pure desires and
noble aspirations, is horrible. Even with
the revealed promise of life to come, We
shrink from the hazards of the grave. We
fear to close our eyes in death, lest they
may never open again. We fear to cast of
the last rope that holds as to the shore of
time, lest some unknown storm may engulf
us in the ocean Of annihilation

represented to US as being in a state of doubt and
u"easness as to the present and future OF Tennes-
sec, and az to the fate of B1eI!'s military cam
paign South. His doubts and Gneasness are we'll
| founded. It is not believed that he can control
the popular sentiment of the people of the State,
nor can Gen. Buell. and his army maintain military
possession of the line they now occupy
Great confidence is felt by many and t,y those
better qualified to Judge than we are, that within
sixty or ninety days from the present period that
every Federal invader will be driven from the soil
Of Tennessee. This, we learn, was the calm and
deliberate judgment Of Gen. A. S. Johnston, who
fell SO calamity, and died so gloriously on the bat
field at Shiloh in defence of Southern i1depend-
ence. We must put forth all the strength and
power of the country to enable Gems. Bealregard,
Polk. Bragg and associate officers to achieve such
great result.
We must leave no stone unturned for such re-
suits. Goods are abundant at Nashville, and are
selling at moderate prices, especially during the
days of panic which Immediately followed the bat
tie at Shiloh. The Federal loss was represented at
eighteen or twenty thousand in killed, wounded
| and prisoners. They represented our loss at
thirty-fve to forty thousand.
Our loss we now believe to be greater than we
have before stated it. It will reach in killed,
wounded and missing, from the best sources Of
information, at some seven to nine thousand. The
proportion of killed is small-about seven hun
dred.
The Cumberland river is falling, and soon the
enemy's gunboats will not be able to navigate its
waters.
The wonderful changes of sentiment which soma
have spoken Of in Middle Tennessee have not
| taken place, our informant states. He found
individuals and parties about as they existed be-
fore the advent of Gov A. Johnson, and the esta-
| lishment Of military rule by him.
The collection of the Federal tax is to be sus-
pended until next December. So far as we can
learn, the Intercourse between the Federals and
| our people of all classes at Nashville is reserved,
formal and cold. IMemphs Avalanche.
