Eoaaisiana Election,
Carlyle OH Natural History as "a Branch
of Education,

The Edinburgh COurdM has the following F.:
"Our townsman Mr.. Adam White, for MANY
years in the natural history department of the
British Museum, proposes to introduce the
teaching of natural history into boarding
schools and private families. On his project
and on the general introduction of that de-
hghtful science into the curriculum of ordi-
nary education, Mr.. White has been favored
by Mr.. Thomas Carlyle with a characteristic
letter, from which the following is an extract:
For many years it has been one of my con-
stant regrets. that no schoolmaster of mine
had a knowledge of natural history, so far at
least to have taught me the grasses that
grow by the wayside, and the little winged
and wingless neighbors that are continually
meeting me. with salutation which cannot
answer, as things are! Why didn't somebody
teach me the consultations, too, and make
me at home in the starry heavens, which are
always overhead, and which don't half know
to this day? | love to prophecy that there
will come a time, when not in Edinburgh only.
but in all Scottish and European towns and
villages, the schoolmaster will be strictly re-
quired to possess these two capabilities neither
Greek nor Latin more strict y and that no in
genuous little denizen of this universe be
thenceforward debarrcd from his right Of
liberty in those two departments, and doomed
to look on them as if across grated fences all
his life For the rest cannot doubt but, one
way or other, you will, by and by, make your
valuable indubitable gift available III Edin-
burg, either to the young or Older on such
conditions as there are, and | much recon-
mend Jealous and iudicious persistence till
you do succeed.

Trouble Brewing

The emancipation of the colored people is
very, likely to give some persons trouble in
this latitude. In short time there will no
doubt be several cases developed for the adiu
dication Of the Courts of this State and Mary
land, and the persons TO be tried will be ar
raigned on charges that will be very likely TO
cause them to serve an apprenticeship in the
to the effect that they will shortly return for
the purpose of prosecuting those who sold
them into slavery in violation of LAWN other
words, kidnapped and sent them off to the
Gulf States. This kidnapping was carried on
quite briskly in this latitude previous to the
war, and those who engaged in it have but a
limited idea, we presume, of the penalty in
store for them.-AIerdndria Ta Journal.

by the officials for their shipment. and the

form. Hopes are entertained Of the speedy

tional singing. | can hardly help tancying
that when Adam and Eve found themselves in

was used to handling the harp. What was

we do know that it was used in praising God.

led the great congregation if they had not been
used to singing? The poetry of the Bible is

From the Arkansas Indian Council

The Kansas (Lawrence) Joninal, referring
to the return Of General Harvey, says that
the Council held at the mouth of the Little
Arkansas was in session twenty-five days, and
has completed important treaties with the
Arrapahoes, Cheyennes, Kiowas Comanches,
Caddos, and Apaches. The Council was COM
posed of General Harney, Mr. Murphy,
Superintendent of the Central Superinten-
dency; and General Sanbon
These tribes are among the widest and
fercest that roam over the great plains The
Council was surrounded by great difficulties,
and is entitled to much credit. The Kiowas
had six white children and two women prison
ers, which for long while they refused to
give up. They were of party going to
Mexico, some eight months since, and were
taken prisoners in Western Texas. The hus-
bands of these two women were killed by the
Indians.
~< The women and children were sent under
escort to Fort Riley The children were
looking well when brought into the Council,
but the women were much emaciated and
careworn. The last eight months for them
has been long, weary, living death, and their
present appearance is not to be wondered at.
After making treaties of peace and friend
ship with these tribes, presents were distributed
by the Government, through Mr.. Murphy and
Colonel Leavenworth. Louis Republican.
