from the 1st District. There are plen-

among which arc the cases of John

both Of whom had served in higher
positions, but became Representatives

that Mr.. Chase's career is drawing
to a close. Mr.. Chase will nobly and

The Old Graveyard, Again.

Permit me, Messrs. Editors, through
the columns of your paper, to make
another appeal in behalf Of the " Old
Graveyard " The Committee of Rem
ovation, Gas some call it, are in need
of funds, and would respectfully ask if
those who have loved ones resting
there will not come to the rescue, and
also those who are desirous of seeing
the work prosper. [ should think all
our enterprising citizens would be glad
to see that sacred spot kept in good
order. The committee have labored
patiently for several years, devoting
much time to get the weeds subdued,
and now, when so near cOnquering,
must they fail for want of means?
Surely, those at home, and those who
are distant, will gladly give little
substantial sympathy" We crave
other sympathy, too, for we encounter
many difficulties. 1t is very trying to
go there and find dead cats, dogs,
chickens, monkeys, and other unmen-
tionable things strewn around, disclos-
ing their whereabouts to the olfactory
nerves before the eyes discover them.
We earnestly beg people not to throw
such things into the cemetery. Does
it show refined delicacy or good taste !?
We hope, too, that our friends will be
careful not to pile lumber or manure
against the wall next the alley it in
lures it very much Some of the grave
stones need to be set straight; if ne
elected they will fall. Those concerned
ought to attend to it at once. Since
the last report, in October 1861, we
have expended the sum of Sl4.56, as
follows:

satisfied with the liberality of the mother
country, which still offers us protection
aud exemption from all taxes but such as
we think tit to impose upon ourselves.
BENEDICT ARNoLD"
October 20, 1880.
The traitor here makes etqht points
against the Continental Congress aud Wash.
ington, the Commander in Chief:
First-That freedom of speech and OF
the press has been taken away
Second-That property has been appro
priated.
Third-That illegal imprisonments have
been made.
Fourth-That odious conscriptions have
been imposed
Fifth-That peace, which might have
been had, was refused.
Sixth-That the first objects in taking
the field have been abandoned.
Seventb-That the country has been de
luged with blood aud made land of wi
dows and orphans.
Eighth That it is necessary to join him
in order to close those Affections and return
to prosperity.
Now take the following quotations-his
own words-from the speech delivered by
Horatio Seymour at Milwaukee, few days
since How like those of the revolution
airy traitor. Seymour charges against the
Administration that
First The freedom of speech and of
the press is denied u.s."
Second" 1t is your property, the prop
erty of Northern tax psyers, which is con-
| 6scated"
Third Men have beer torn from their
families and locke up in prison, and wo
men, too"
Fourth" Men are told that they must
leave their homes and devote themselves to
war"
Fifth-"The policy of the Administra
ton has placed hindrances in the way of
the Union"
Sixth" The Administration has enter
ed upon settled policy dangerous to the
welfare of the country"
Seventh" In Gods name, are there no
means by which we can save the lives of
husbands and brothers ?"
Eighth" We nominated Mcclellan
that we might restore prosperity and peace
to the people"
Thus are the points made by Horstio
Seymour, as well as copperhead papers and
spouters generally, against the Administra-
ton in 1864 identical, point with point,
with those made By Benedict Arnold
against Washington and the Continental
Congress in 1880.

sacrifice could be too great. Rules might
be thrown overheard, an inconceivabie
amount of impudence, noise, confusion and
vexation OF spirit be put up with, for the
purpose of succeeding in this desirable end
and having it told to the world that they
can govern by moral suasion!
The tendency OF school government at
the present time is in the right direction.
Teachers have learned by experience, and
some at least are making practical use of
their knowledge, that it is more important
to have rules respected, order and harmony
prevail in school, than TO crafty the popu.
lar taste. Notwithstanding this there are
still too many teachers who fail to take
decisive stand on the side of true govern
ment, and allow themselves to be imposed
upon in miserable manner, when a timely
and vigorous application of the timber
would prevent it. 1t is, however, univer-
sally conceded, by teachers at least, that
the rod cannot with safety be dispensed
with in our schools The only. question
now is when or under what circumstances
should it be used. The answer generally
made is, " only in extreme cases." which
if properly interpreted is true a some
future time, in another article, will give
my views on the Interpretation of these
words. M

School Discipline.


There was time, Of which some of US
have a very lively recollection, when school
discipline was administered almost exclu
sively by an appeal to the rod. To piece
of timber Of rather slender proportions,
were attributed the peculiar properties Of
subduing the vicious, conqueriug the re-
beilious, aronsing the stupid, quietiug the
disorderly, IN short, of remedying all the
ills the schoolroom is heir to-
So much Importance was attached to
teachers ability and skill in the use of this
instrument, that he who could WELD it in
the most efficient manner was the first to
get desirable situation as teacher
In time however, this theory, belonging
as it did to a darker age than ours, had to
give way, and another, rejecting the rod
entirely and having for its basis moral sua-
sion, took its place-a theory which, in its
practical workings, showed itself as lily
adapted to the youths of our land as the
other. However successful a lew teachers
may have been under peculiarly favorable
circumstances, believe the theory on the
whole has, in the shape of disrespeet for
law and authority, of love, Indifferent hab.
its OF half way obedience and study,
wrought an immense amount OF mischief
mischief which will require years of the
right kind of discipline to remedy. A

was made that all, under any circumstances,
can. EXTREMISTS were even bold to say
! that whoever Was unable to govern by
moral suaSion, was unfit for the school
room"
Such a heavy tide of popularity accom-
panied the introduction of this theory,
that teachers generally, although not sin

moral perceptions were not quite so acute,

wert generally willing to conform, in the
main, to the new order of things Practi-
cally the theory had universal sway,
Teachers were driven to it by 8sort of
moral necessity, something similar to the

! belioD, caused our armies to move on to

! the consequence. Neither have teachers
been qualified nor their schools in condi-
ton to justify such move So great was

teachers were made to feel, and some really

SLEEPY CREEK, VA, Oct. 9, 1864.
NessrS. Editors Permit ME through
the columns OF your valuable paper to ex-
press my opinions in reference to the con-
duct of some of the copperheads OF Brown
township, Mfflin county, who, not satisfied
with DISTINGUISHING every one who dares
take his life in his hand and defend his
country, but would condescend to the con
temptible practice of back biting and Sian
dering them, aud that too for political pur-
poses and the carrying out of their hellish
designs, for the destruction of one of the best
governments ever erected by the wisdom
OF man or blessed by the benisons of AL
mighty God Now, sir, the man who can
thus debase himself, is destitute of all NOR
al courage or philanthropy, and is only fit
to work under the lash of party which
has become SO degraded that they have
sacrificed every principle of honor and
patriotism. And no marvel if such men
would be found, securing the country to
secure persons to volunteer, in order to
screen their own cowardiy heads, and then
cry aloud "the war is failure" But. sir,
let them howl. They cannot deter us from
discharging the duty which we owe to God
and our country, and it matters very little
whether they withhold their support from
us, by voting for their gunboat general, or
encourage us by casting their ballots for
the Union; for the thunderings of the
gathering storm can be heard already in
the distance, and the torrent of indigna-
ton, flowing from great, free people, will
soon burst upon their reasonable heads,
and coming generations will hold them in
disgracefnl remembrance. Believing, as
we do, that a patriotic and just people
will rnete out to them just re:ribution,
we will merely add, 81 let Ephraim alone,
he is Joined to his idols"

MeSSrs. Editors Permit me through
your columns to notice an article in the
Huntingdon Monitor, concerning our (205th
Penna.) regiment The Monitor repre-.
sents oar regiment as marching through
Washington for the front, when Mr. Lin
coin came out and saluted us, and that three
deatening cheers were then given for Gen.
Gen Geo. B. Mcclellan, upon which the
President turned and went into the house
Sirs, am member Co T, 205th regi
ment, aud have been with it all the time
since it left Harrisburg, and assure you
gentlemen, there never were any cheers
given for Mcclellan, at any time, since the
organization OF the regiment. But, upon
the contrary, large number of the mem
bers of this regiment who at home were
Mcclellan men, have got their eyes open
and are going with all their might for Old

1t is she general question, when you
meet soldier, 4" Are you going to vote for
Old Abe 2" The invariable answer is,
d" Yes, | want to see this war over and Old
Abe is the man to put it through"
| tell you, Republican friends, all we
want is for the citizens to do their part, and
Old Abe will be the next President, for
the soldiers vote is sure thing McClel-
Ian is losing ground in the army every day,
and by the time of the election, (second
Tuesday of November he will be whit
tied down to the little end of nothing.
Citizens, friends of the Union, all we
want you to do is to give US your aid aud
send us tickets plenty, and the soldiers
vote will give you one of the greatest vic
tories ever won at any preceding Presiden-
tial campaign.

Your Obt Servant,

MISCELLANEOUS,
Bears.

Minnesota is at present in state OF ex-
cltement arising from a rather unusual
cause. 1t is not stirring news from the
gallant Phi Sheridan, nor the advance Of
Grant, nor yet the rebel invasion of the
West, which disturbs their equanimity;
neither Is 1t an onslaught OF indians upon
their unprotected towns. 1t is none of
these, and yet it is the inroad Of an enemy
no whit less savage, cruel, or remorseess
than the red man, one OF the most persis
tent and dangerous OF foes to civilization
numbers these animals have recently in
vaded the settled portions Of Minnesota,
rendering travel dangerous The Anoka
Star says that about sixty four of the bruin
species have been seen during a week
within an area of one mile from their pub
lie square. Many have been killed, but in
some Of the encounters with the tour footed
foe the Staying biped has not come off un
scatched Mr. Twitchell, of Anoka, In
company with friend, attacked bear
near Sand Greek, and succeeded in shooting
him down. Supposing him to be etfectua
ly crippled Mr. L. approached with an axe
to despatch him, when the bear sprang
upon his assailany, and striking the axe
from his hand, attempted to seize him 10y
the breast In stepping back, Mr.. T.
tripped against a small bush and fell, and
as the bear fell on him, plunged his hand
into the mouth of the beast, and though
terribly bitten, held the infuriated monster
while Mr. Bonker despatched him with
the axe. Mr. Twitchell was shockngly
lacerated on his arms and hands, aud badly
bitten in his right thigh.
The St. Cloud (Minn.) Democrat says
From every street corner the cry is, still
they come. Scarcely team comes in from
the country but brings defunct bruin or
his peit. Ia fact, it seems as though all
the bears outside Of Wall street have con-
gregated in and around ST Cloud, but
whether it is convention called together
to discuss the financial topics of the day,
or to adopt some plan to prevent the fur
ther encroachments of the white men, VIC
are unable to tell. At any rate, they bring
the entire family young and Old, and the
result is that bears are as plenty as prairie
