FEMALE EDUcATIoN.-Let the educat on
OF woman be commensurate with her ir-
fluence. Is it true that, in the completion
of social life she is mistress of that which
decides its hues? Then let her be trained
to WELD this fearful power with skill, with
principle. and for the salvation of social
man. Does she sometimes bear the sceptre
of nations well being in her hand? Cato
said of his countrymen: "The Romans
govern the world, but it is the women that
govern the Romans" The discovery of this
very continent testIfiss to the political in :
fluence of woman. Who favored the bold
genius Of Columbus? Do you say Ferdinand
Of Spain? answer it was Isabella prompt
ing her partner to the patronage he so re-
luctautly bestowed. Her influence uuex-

the laurel that now graces his brow. Will
You leave this all-potent being lliterate, to

woman. If educated Alright, irradiate, and

right of Congress to delegate the power to
suspend the writ of hq5eas corpus to the
President, and characterizes it as a plain Vi

ture is earnestly recommended to take prompt
action on the Stamp Act, with their indig-

before the Northern people the idea that We
are ready to negotiate for peace whenever
they are willing to give up our right to self
government and the sovereignty of the
States After each battle our Government
should make distinct offers for peace on
these terms, and should the course of the

KENTUCKY CLAIMS HER PROPERTY
There is considerable excitement in Ken
lucky caused by the action of the Federal
authorities in enrolling slaves in that State
preparatory to the draft. Gov Bramlette
has issued an address which is in substance
as follows: t.9n eHi
IT,. FRANKFoRT, March 16.-Felow citizens:
In view of the disturbance of the popular
mind produced by the enrolment of slaves
for the army in Kentucky, it is deemed pru
dent to make the following suggestions for
the benefit and guidance Of the loyal men Of
Kentucky: Your indignity should not al
low you to commit acts of violence or unlaw-
ful resistance. Standing, as we have stood
and ever will stand, for the Constitution,
Union, and the enforcement of the laws we
must meet and correct unjust and unconsti-
tutonal legislation by legitimate appeal to
the constitutional tribunal of the Govern
ment and through the ballot box. This is
the only true mode of maintaining the Con-
sttution, Union, and respect of the laWs.T
| Merely enrolling the names of slaves does
not affect any right of a citizen. We should
abide by and maintain the laws, and pursue
the modes provided by law and the remedy
itahords, IF any violence Or wrong to per-
sons or property of citizens be committed by
any officer or soldiers against the known
laws Of the land, make your accusation in
the mode prescribed by law, and if any
commanding officer refuses or neglects to use
his utmost endeavors to arrest an officer or
soldier under his command and hand him
or them over to the civil magistrates for
trial when officially. advised of these facts,
the Executive of this State will prefer char
ges and demand court martial, and under
! the Constitution and in accordance with law,
assert and urge your rights. 1t is our duty
to obey law until declared, by judicial de-
eision, to be unconstitutional Citizens
whose property may be taken under law for
public use, viii be entitled, under the i'm
| perative mandate of the Constitution, to just
compensation for property so taken for pub
lie use. Although the present Congress
may not do us justice, yet it is safe to rely
upon the justice of the American people,
and an appeal to them will not be unheeded

The ART OF WALKING.-In graceful
human step the heel is always raised before
the foot is lifted from the ground, as if the
foot we're part of wheel rolling forward !;
and the weight of the body, supported by
the muscles Of the calf Of the leg, rests for
time on the fore part Of the foot and toes.
There is then a bending Of the foot in Ger
tain degree But when strong wooden shoes
are used, or any shoes so stiff that it willnot
yield and allow the bending of the foot, the
heel is not raised at all until the whole foot
rises with it; so that the muscles of the
calf are scarcely used, and in consequence
soon dWindle in size, and almost disappear.
Many of the English farm servants wear
heavy, stiff shoes and in London it is a
striking thing to see the drivers of country
wagons with fine robust persons In the upper
part, with legs that are feshless spindless,
producing a gait which is almost awkward
and unmany. The brothers Of these men,
who are otherwise employed are not so mis-
shapen. What pity that for the sake of a
trifing saving, fair nature should be thus
deformed An example Of this kind is seen
in Paris. There, as the streets have few or
no side pavements, and the ladies have to
walk constantly on tip-toe, the great action
of the muscles of the calf has given confor-
nation of the leg and foot, to match which
the Prussian bellies proudly challenge all the
world-not aware, probably, that it is a de-
feet in their city to which the popularity in

SUBSTITUTES.

IN contemplation of a draft upon this
coast, the question of substitutes is be-
coming one of considerable interest
among those who are liable to find them
selves unwillingly in the service OF Uncle
Sam. Speaking of this subject. the Al
bany Journal gives its readers warning
concerning " deserter substitutes" which
is peculiarly applicable to this coast, which
may be reasonably supposed to be the
harbor for very considerable number of
deserters. The Journal says:
At this time when there is such a demand
for substitutes, and wheR such large prices
are in some instances paid, il is well that
those who furnish and pay for them should
be advised Of some Of the risks they run. All
sorts Of men viii now present themselves or
be offered by agents as substitutes. Every
bounty jumper in the country viii seek to
take advantage Of the occasion and make all
the money he can. Now, the law expressly
declares, that il substitute shall, after en-
hstment. prove to be deserter, his principal
will not be exempted, but viii again be held
liable, unless he furnishes another and an
approved substitute. There have been, we
learn, several such cases in this district.
Several persons, who had furnished substi-
tuses, and thought themselves out Of trouble,
were called upon 70 respond to the draft a
second time, when it was aseertained that
the substitutes presented for them proved 70
have been deserters. 1t therefore becomes
persons to look out and see who they take fol
substitutes.

THE COUNTY coarr1ss1oNERs.

The Enterprise comes down upon the
Commissioners very severely in its editori-
al columns and sCosmos pours in
steady fire of figures and "facts the
tenor of which is to prove that the affairs
of the county have been abominably mis-
managed. The Report of the Commits
sioners is not by any means clear and lu-
cid enough in its explanation of the mat
tiers complained Of; in fact, taking that
report as the sole basis Of argument the
opponents of the Commissioners have de-
cidedly the strongest ground. In private
conversation upon and explanation of the
matter the Commissioners make much
better showing in their own favor than
they do in the published report, and seem
to feel greatly aggrieyed at the aspersions
cast upon their conduct by the Grand
Jury and others who have taken upon
themselves the investigation and discus
sion of the subject. In the present state
of the public mind, resulting from the
showing up of the misconduct of the Ju-
dietary as well as from the general con-
demnatory tone of the Report of the late
Grand Jury, there is disposition to look
with jealousy and distrust upon all pub
lie officials, of whatever degree or func-
tons. The people see the one patent and
undeniable fact, that the public affairs of
the Territory are in deplorable and
almost hopeless condition, and are
disposed to regard all those in
whose hands the administration of af-
fairs has been, as the authors or at least
the abettors of the public calamity. That
is the "prima taeiG' appearance of the
case, and it will require something more
definite and minute in the way Of expla-
nation than the Commissioner Report
affords to remove the very general I'M
preston that there has been worse than
culpable carelessness and want of busi-
ness tact in the conduct of our county
affairs. \ general overhauing of all
County and Territorial matters is un-
doubtedly needed at this juncture, as we
are upon the eve of a general election, and
the public mind is ripe for a thorough
housescleaning. 1t is desirable that all
unfaithful public servants should be GUST
ed, and their places filed by those who,
at least, give promise of "a better admins
tration. At the same time it is neither
iast nor desirable that those who have
done the best that circumstances would
possibly permit, should come within the
general sweeping condemnation. We adj
nit that the Report of the County Com
missioners is not satisfactory document,
but we viii not Willingly do them an in
Justice. We should be glad to learn
either through the medium of a more full,
published exposition, or by any other
public explanation, that the County Com
missioners are not to blame for the pre-
sent bankrupt condition of tue County
Treasury.

A srAMPEDE.

We were threatened few days ago by
the Washos Herald (now defunc0 with a
session of the Supreme Court to have
been convened last week. AT that awful
convention of the mighty Three. measures
were to have been planned and executed,
which should have completely annihilated
the "hireling press" of this county, and
have incarcerated the "hired slanderers"
in loathsome dungeons, where there should
have been penitential wailings and MUNICH
ing of sow-belly. Somehow or other the
cock seems to have ANONYMOUSLY failed
to fght, and the mighty Three failed to
connect. North took bottle of pepper
mint and scrambled with his bowels for
the tall timber of Calaveras. Turner con-
Guided to Westward hoe also. What
part of our neighboring State he has am
pushed himself in, we have not learned.
Where Locke is, we don't know, and 1t
don't make any difference. He has not
got either of his accomphces here to tell
him what to do, and he does not know
enough to hatch up any deviltry by him
self. They are all three gone from our
gaze like the nightmare, but they are not
off of our minds. The thought that they
still live, that they are still our judges,
that they are only lying in ambush with
in few hundred miles of US, and are
liable to come sneaking back on US any
night and doing mischief, is uncomfort-
able. 1t is feeling of unpleasantness
that the people of this Territory can only
be relieved of by the death or resignation
of the whole three. The first it is I'M
christian to hope for, and We have too
little faith in their decency to hope for
the latter consummation. The petition
calling upon them to resign has already
several thousand signatures, but we are
of the opinion that it will require more
formidable means than peaceful and re-
spectful petition to get rid of them. But
we shall see what we shall see.

WORKING MEN AND PoLITI-
CLANS,

When the Miners League Incorporate
ed into their laws, provisions excluding
politicians and political discussions from
their meetings, they did wise thing; and
if they succeed in carrying out, in spirit
as wei as in letter, that prohibition, they
will find their substantial interests sub
served thereby. The working men have
now the sympathy of the almost entire
community, but whenever it shall become
apparent that the Association IS being
perverted into political engine, to foist
any schemer or set of schemers into pow
er, that day will witness its Reputation
and condemnation. In glancing over
late copy Of the New York Sun we per-
eeive the same point discussed at some
length, in connection with the local affairs
in that city. The subject Immediately
under consideration is the Eight Hour
System" Although the question is not
identical with that in agitation here, it is
sufficiently similar for the application of
the editorial remarks in relation thereto.
The editor considers the matter not one
for legislation but to be directly settled
and arranged between the employers ard
employed, and advises the latter to keep
the matter entirely in their own hands
and out of the field of politics. Arguing
the matter at considerable length, the edi-
tor says:
ain presenting these arguments for the
consideration Of the workingmen, we have no
desire 20 urge upon them non-interyention
policy, in the political contests for place and
power, that periodically occur in our city and
State. In such political discussions, the
workingmen have far deeper interest than
the politicians. The latter seek public situ-
atoms for selfish purposes, and upon the
workinSmen will fall the expense OF main
tanning corrupt and theiying officials in pow
er. As individuals, the Workingmen may
wisely turn their attention 10 political mat
tiers, and by their votes, cast at the proper
time, for the best men Of their party; they
will more surely reduce their own burthens,
and confer upon themselves and the commu-
nifty, benefits they never can permanently en-
Joy BY blindly permitting political ring
leaders to control their local organizations by
means Of paid subordinates."
We commend these remarks to the
members of the League. They have
started upon the right footing; let them
in no wise deyiate from the line of policy
they have announced.
