Sixteen Of my pupils, (the larger
ones,) are professors of religion.
have not heard swearing in the vicin-
ity Of the school this term. A good
moral atmosphere pervades the whole
school. From the manner in which,
the pupils are furnished with neces-
sary books, states, &c, and the regu.
larity in attending, I should naturally
infer a lively interest among parents,
more so than usual.

quite punctual, they make it their aim

They all seem to be well disposed and

How home-lixe it would seem.

As shall be when you come back
To claim again your own.
The home we thought to make, Harry,
That new home by the hill,
Lies all uncleared and desolate,
Untenanted and still.
The little house grows weather-stained,
The underbrush grows tall.
And nothing pleasant can be seen
Save wild flowers of the fall.
But you are doing now, Harry,
A nobler work by far,
And can wait for home and you
Until the end Of war. a

The Arrest of Valiandigham


For what was V-ALLANDIaHAM arrested:
VIC have been asked a thousand times, aud
have been compelled to acknowledge our ina.
bility to give a satisfactory answer to the ques.
ton; but probably the following request of the
Richmond Enquirer, the organ of JEFF. DA.
Wis, with the reason given flor it, will enlight-
en- the public upon this subject. Said the
Enquirer q short time sincc-speaking of VAL.
jLANDIeHAM and Coxs ID es .aa al. hf
7 ave wish from our hearts they were both
already chained up at the present writing.
They have done us more harm, they and their
like, than ten thousand Stewards and Summers.
O, Dictator Lincoln! lock ye up these two
Peace Democrats-together with Richardson
lin some of your military prisons"
That is the request; and the reason given
for making it is apparent from the following
paragraph also clipped from the Enquirer:
"Let our enemy appear as an cxterminatine
Yankee host, We pray, and not rs a Democi at
ic convention. Let them take any shape Blu.
that! Already we have visions of the men Of
feeble knees, tender feet, and undulatine
spines, losing their sense and manhood by the
contact, as they did, alas! SO often before"
The policy advocated by VALLANDIaHAM
and Cox was likely to divide the South, and
weaken the rebellion, and therefore JEFF
DAVIS wanted them locked up. How soon
viii Cox come to grief? ,

A Question Properly Answered.

The New York Tsmss asks the Argus:
Congress has passed sundry laws, calculated
to call out the strength and resources of the
country, for the prosecution of the war against
the rebellion. Prompt obedience to these law.
seems to us the best way ofuniting the people,
crushing the rebellion, and restoring the
Union. What has the Argus to say to thatl
To which the Argus pertinently, replies:
The argus has this to say. The Democratic
party is a party of obedience to the laws, and
any Law, not>repeaicd or rendered void by .
decision of the Counts, will be obeyed by
them. Bat it is neither their province, nor is
it in their power TO make an unpopular law
acceptable to the people, or to remedy the
blunders of a weak and incompetent Admins
~Htration. aa 81 sfI0z Ia 10 D
There is a very clear way to unity and har-
mony at the North. Lee tho policy of the
Administration respond to the popular sen,
timents of the country, instead OF being mar
rowed and distorted to meet the one idea
views ola political faction. Let the Govern
ment be administered for the good of the ma
tion, and not for the benefit or qualification of
partisans. bet the war be prosecuted for the
restoration of the Union, and not for the abe
litioa of slavery.

till then, there is not one of us living that

is fool enough to ho.d on. The ONLY HOPE
there is for any of us, is to KEEP ON THE War
until the Union is SO THOROUGHLY SPLIT UP,
that it can never be got together again. A re-
union with tie South on ANY terma is death
to all this generation. But at any rate, the
taxes which the people have not begun to
feel ; the debt and the CONSUMPTION, not yet
begun, but to come, WILL DAMN ANY
MAN CONCERNEDIN LEVYING THEM
The above is an extract from a speech made
by Mr.. RraGmond, in the legislature of the
State of New York. It must not be forgotten
that Mr.. Raymond is the editor of the New

-n-r -T NLT "a o. --'
The New York correspondent of the Gin
cinnati Gazette closes alopg letter in reference
to the recent repulse at Charleston, with the
following remarks as to its probable effects on
our relations with England I:
'eThis disaster will probably complicate at
once our relations with England. 1t is known
that Secretary Seward has assumed a bcllige-
rant tone in his recent dispatches, and that
Palmerston and Russell are in. no hnmor to
be bullied. They are, indeed, as they have
always been, too ready for war, and the mo
ment the English people can be sufficiently
irrita.ed to sustain an administration that VEN
lures on it, will assume a new tone with us.
The recent speeches of the Solicitor General
and of Palmerston in Parliament point un-
mistakably to a growing hostile feeling, on
which the Government hopes to plant itself
firmly enough to make an open quarrel posi-
bic. There has been nothing like it before,
and our relations are believed to be, at this
moment, m,re critical than even pending the
Trent case. OF course, a repulsc at Charles
ton, the blockade of which has been q fruitful
source Of diplomatic controversy, and must
now be enforced with greater vigor than ever,
will do much to encourage the Anglo Rebel
party of which the chief officers of the Eng
lish Government are the leaders. I repeat,
at no moment Fave the apprehensions of war
been SO general in the best informed political
circles il New York"

THE THREATENED REIGN Oh

The Cleveland Leader of last Friday, upon

Island, in its usual spirit of 6epdish malignity
INDUCES in some comments upon the matter.
Caring little for the opinion Of such a scoun
drel as Ed. Cowles or for the influence of any
of his publications, yet from the fact that he
holds a lucrative Office under Lincoln, the SEN
timents he utters may reasonably be supposed
to be to some extent a reflex of the opinions OF
the Washington dynasty. In the article to
which we. refer we find the following
at will be we'll for him y to cast "a
glance forward two years and see = = what
sort of a reception he will receive when he
returns to Ohio, If he does so al Q.
What means this i~nsinuation off he does

The sentence of Gen. Burnside was two
years imprisonment on an Island just West
of the extreme Southern point of Florida, in
the Gulf of Mexico. mere sand bar, wash
ed up from the depths of the Gulf by the ac-
ton Of the winds and waves, where disease
and pestiience are the masters and humanity
the universal victims. The sentence itself, as
well as the intimation of the Leader, show
that the intent was deliberate and premedita-
ted murder. A Northern man, unaccustom.
ed to the searching sun and hot whitening
winds of the Tropics, cannot By any possibility
live through a single summer season in such
a place. IF the infamous sentence Of this
General Burnside, the imbecile soldier, that
but a few months since, led to certain slangh.

men, and whose idiocy has filed the whole
