Stanton--JeG: Davis--The Late
Colonel NIedary.

AS a scrap of history, we give the follow
ing, which we clip from The N. K. World:
Permit me to describe one of the early
scenes in the grand drama, the last act of
which has not yet been played. ~ REu
Itwas during the session OF Congress, the
winter preceding the Charleston Conven-
tion, that a grave Senator occupied the at
tention of the Senate on the state of the
nation. His selemnityof manner, hissym7
plicty of style, his extreme views on the
subject of State, rights, all proved the sin
certify of the speaker, and recalled to mem
ory the figure, voice and sentiments Of the
dead Calhoun. The voice seemed more like
the emanation of spirit than the uttered
convictions of the man who was destined
to be the leader oflthe great rebellion. A
sort OF awe spread over the Senate chamber,
and even Wade, and Sumner, and Chandler
listened with an attention akin to respect.
Among the auditory there was one who
seemed more than the rest absorbed in the
scene before him, The Senate adjourned,
and Stanton fastened from the Senate cham
ber to one of the great hotels of Washing
ton, and asked TO be shown to the room of
the venerable Governor Medary, of Ohio.
Scarcely had he entered, when, with Q voice
full OF passionate energy, he exclaimed
4 Medary, have just heard Davis, and by
all the gods, he is the greatest of living
statesmenl The South is right, and Davis
must be the nominee Of the Charleston
Convention; and to secure that end, you
must Come at once to Washington and take
charge of the government organ!' 9dj
Governor, Medary suggested that there
were certain reasons why such, an arrange
ment might not be acceptable to Mr.. Blu
chanan, when MI. Stanton replied: 9Dof4 o.
''t will look to that; 1 will bej RESPONSE
BILE for thatil lwill so atonceto the White
see You again" ''
Medary waited, Stanton returned; butfor
reasons unnecessary to narrate, the scheme
failed, This was the opening scene which
preceded tbefebellion; and Edwin M. Stan
ton played the chief role as the advocate of
Southern rights, and the especial friend of
JEFFERSON Davis! b1d 10 10 A9liijs 9Yfd m1

HAVE PITY ON THE CHILDREN.-We
stood, Sunday or two since, and
watched as the children poured forth
from the Methodist Sunday School:
and we counted II who went straight
across the street to take their place in
the Congregational Sunday School,
just about to begin.
Now, in the name Of common sense,
we would ask of Christian Parents,
what is to be the effect upon their
children, Of this mixed religion, this
distracted and indefinite religious
training? With what purpose do you
send your children to Sunday School
at oil ? If simply to amuse and in
terest them, or to get them share in
all the excursions, and gift at as
many Christmas celebrations as pos
sible, you can accomplish it by letting
them float around thus from one
school TO another.
But if you desire their sound train
ing and growth in Christian princi-
pies and knowledge, then secure fol
them fixed and definite instruction
Have full confidence in your Pastor
(if your own faith is so definite thai
you acknowledge Pastor at ally; lie
your children attend his Sunday School
and do not weaken has influence and dis
tract their minds, by sending them t.
another school also. The poor child
rem don't know which is their Pastor
nor which is their home. They ma,
get great many loose good ideas, blu
very little definite knowledge.
Some kind mother perhaps will
charitable heart urges, each Sunda.
School has something good. Let then
get oil the good they can" But IN.
dear Madam, your charity is at tn
expense of your children's souls. w
once had good country friend, VIII
had a great confidence in the old schot
practice Of medicine, and great lean
ing toward the Thomsonian. II
thought there toas good IN both, so whel
occasion came, and he was sick, h
tried TO get all the good he could" an
took the medicines Of both. Poo
man! If / remember his sentiment
rightly, after that experience, / do nc
think his children will ever get mike
up in two Sunday Schools.

Affairs in North Carolina.

The Fortress Monroe correspondent
of the Norfolk old Dominion, writing
February I'd, says:
"The reign of terror hitherto
spoken of as existing in North Caro-
lima, has not been exaggerated in the
least. About eighty refugees from
that State--mostly from Chowan
county-arrived at this point yester-
day. They were miserably clad, and
claim TO have once been wealthy
One of the party stated that he had
owned three hundred slaves before the
war, and had over Eve hundred acres
of land under cultivation. They also
sts to that there is large party in the
present legislature in favor of peace,
and they will yet place the State in a
different attitude towards the United
States government.
Resolutions and counter-resolu-
tons are continually introduced in that
body without being acted upon. No
public business is transacted II no laws
are enacted, but the whole time of the
legislature is taken up in the discus
sion of these peace resolutions. No
mans life is safe in the State--whether
Union or secesh.
Confederate and federal deserters over
run the State alike, plundering, and
often numbering the people. These
deserters recognize no parties, or law,
or order; but infest the highways and
mountains in numbers too strong to
be vanquished.
"They also say that lee is sending
troops TO Weldon, and that the Cho-
wan river is alive with yankee gun.
boats, The militia are Of no further

use to the Confederates, as they abso-
lutely refuse to fight, even WHOM forced
into the field.
"Some of the counties, towns anil
villages in North Caroline are entirely
depopulated, not human creature
residing in them. Mr.. Seddons thinks
IL the. war continues year longer,
North Carolina, outside of the princi-
pal cities, will be reduced to a howl
ing wilderness. Those who are able,
and have the means, are moving out
of the State into the lower counties of
Virginia or into Tennessee and South
Carolina"
