swear like sailors, play truant at pleas
ure, drink lager and whiskey, chew To-
bacco and smoke, and indulge in all
manner of bad habits without restraint,
aud yet expect the school teacher to gath
er the sum total of all this uncouth, neg
lected mass of perverted Juvenile pre-
cocity into the school-room, and then put
on an amiability of style, placidity Of
countenance, and beautiful adaptation of
words, that will at once throw a charm
over all and every Of their dissimilar dis
positions, assidulously educated to rebel

cation of parents, and give them thor
ough education in parental duties, and

generation, We may have schools Of the
character he so much regrets none but be
can teach. HONE TEACHER.

THE FLORIDA CASE.

We have RETAINED from comments on the
capture in the harbor Of Bahia of the British
Rebel corsair Florida by the L. S. gunboat Wa
chusett, because the public as yet has heard
but one side of the case. ard because We chose
not to say or do aught that might by possibility
embarrass the action of our Government. The
loyal Press of our country has very generally
practiced a kindred reserve. But The HOTid
sees fit to put forth the following structures:
THE FLORIDA GIvrS UP-By the news which
reaches us from sinr.or there can be no doubt but
that the Administration has determined to make amends
to the violated sovereignty of Brazil and has issued or
ders the surrender Of the Florida ana her crew TO
the authorities OF that country. We believe we are
justified in stating that the Waohnsett Is by this time
on her way Rio JaneiTo Bahia. in company with
the Florida and Ter captured crew. This VIII be sofo
humiliation 70 oar national PRIDE but We are settns
used 10 that Kind Of thing since the present AdmIDstIa'
ton has been in power.
The fact il is certain, is not as above stated !;
the Wachusett is not "on her way to Rio ia
Metro or Bahia, in company with the Florida
and her captured crew." nor is She likely to be-.
But, suppose she were, what Of iii The Horid
plainly intimates that "the sovereignty of Bra
I'll " was violated in the capture Of the Florida
"a point on which we express no opinion. But,
assuming this to be the fact, why should our
atoning for wrong done by one of our officers
"be a sore humiliation to our National pridel"
Is it any where pretended that the capture of
the Florida in Bahia bay, or under the guns OF
Brazilian forts, was directed, or even authorized
by our Government! Certainly not. And
even if il had been, our "sore humiliation q"
would have inhered in our doing wrong, not in
our making reparation. And, if we arc indeed,
for the first getting used to our Government
making amends for the laS.ess and unjustifiable
acts of its subordnates, we trust that practice
will not be discontinued. Stubborn persist
ence in wrong involves "sore humiliation;"
not ceasing to dowrong and learning to DO right.
