We advise our Democratic friends says the
Cincinnati Enquirer, to look closely to the
kind of school-books that are put In the
hands of their children. As a specimen Of
its necessity, read the following from the
New York correspondent Of Georgia ex-
change;
"But the most noticeable publications. that are
brought out are those designed entirely for
children. Through these a big crop Of hate
and persecution for rebels is being planted,
preciselyas abolitionism was sowed thirtyyears
ago. remembe. then finding Abolitionism
in my school-books. One Of my little boys
got prize at school the other day; II was a
book entitled The Soldier Boy. The ftontis-
pice contains an atrocious libel, in represent
ing Confederate soldier attempting the
lite of Federal soldier who had given him
a drink Of water. II narrates with approval
all sorts Of outrages perpetrated by The
Soldier Boy and his friends upon Southern
sypathizers or traitors The book, In short
Is an abomniable TRADE against the South;
and yet it Is permitted 10 be distributed to
the school children in this most conservative
quarter of the North. There is no instruc-
ton in II, only spirit OF malice against the
South and the Cop perheads."

SPRISG AND ITS FLowERs.--A friend sends us
this extract and requests its publication. 1t
is taken from the columns Of the New York
News:
Flowers, like music, are Indispensable 10
the existence Of cultivated and refined peo-
pie, and mind:that cannot enjoy the beau
ty and frangrance Of flower loses much Of
the higher and exquisite pleasure Of life. To
these beautiful things Of earth we are in
debted for many of the best poems in our
language, and the blind god Of the divine
passion has coined the sentiment Of flowers
into the language of love. Oftentimes bou-
quet is the vehicle in which some passionate
lover conveys TO his sweetheart those te nder
thoughts which can be expressed in no other
way. Flowers mingle with our sad as well
rs our gay thoughts and reflections. When
we lay away the last loved ones, and they sleep
the sleep that knows no waking, what is so up.
propriately beautiful as to wreathe the body
wi III sweet fiowers2 They seem like tender
links between death and that undying love
we cherish Tor those who have gone before

A HISTORICAL IScIDEyT.-The New York
correspondent of the Philadelphia Ledger
writes:
Preston KIyG.-It is not generally known
10 the public that this man was for time an
incubus at tie White House, and he was
made the Collector at New York Harbor to
get him out of the way. But few under
stand why he committed suicide; but there
are those who have an an idea why he COM
mitted the act. 1t was no doubt, his con-
science. 1t was Preston King who kept Miss
Surratt from seeing the President on the
morning of the execution of her mother
The President knew nothing of her being at
his door-steps, in agonizing tears to ask the
stay of the law for one short day. Old King
kept the President from knowing what was
going on, and after the execution, It becom-
ing SO apparent that the condemned was in
nOceat Of completely with the real murder
ers, that il narrowed up his soul. In fact,
he had no peace after her death, and becoming
desperate, under the lash of conscience, he
committed suicide. Have the others who
bounded this poor woman,on to the galows go,
consciences? We believe they have, and they
must suffer bitter stings."

HT We respectfully but very emphatically
decline the congratulations and compliments
of the Livingston Messenger. To accept them
as merited, would be unjust to truth and
dishonor us. We know of nothing more
contemplate than for citizen of an invaded
county to desert II; and, severing all the "a
cred ties Of home, kindred and soil, 10 aide
with Its enemies. To have been a'Uniou"
man ct the South, while war famed from
the swords and brands of Union troops
at our very hearthstones, was TO have
been an insensate brute, without a spark of
the soul or one throb Of the pulse Of man.
The tamest of animals all fight fer their lairs
and nests and young and the man who does
not is essentially a traitor to the noblest In
stincts of human nature, whatever be msy
be theoretically to any form of human gov
ernment. We scorn the insinuation that tho
heroic men who fought on the Southern side,
in the late war, were "traitors." The father
oflies never uttered a baser lie. II they
were, we share their guilt. Thank God, we
have no part Of the guilt Of those who,
while war ragged, were "traitors" 10 their
hearths, neighbors, countrymen and States.

live, and to which we have rendered our al
legisnce, land are waiting to see II It shall

ture emergency Of difficulty or danger, IL

more get sunbeams out of cucumbers or blood
out Of turnips, under Federal, than under
a Confederate Government. When trouble
comes to this Government from abroad, and re-
cruits are wanted from the South, they will
be found among the gray jackets who follow

AUTHORS VS. PRiNTERs-To those who
grumble at what they call the carelessness
of the printer in "sctting mp" an illegibly
written article, we commend the following
from the Day Book. Read it carefully, ye
authours, and hereafter "give the devil his
due:
IL have seen the arguments Of lawyers in
high repute as scholars, sent to the printer
iu their own hand writing with many,
especially technical or foreign terms
abreviited words misspelled with few or
no points, and these few, il any, entirely out
of place. have seen sermons that were sent
to be published, without points or capitals TO
designate the division of sentences-sermons
which, if published with the impcrfections Of
the manuscript, would have disgraced the
authors ard the printer would have been
treated with scorn and contempt as an illite
rate block-head, as fellow better fitted to be
wood sawyer than printer. No one
would believe that such gross and palpable
faults were owing to the ignorance or care
lessness of the author. And no one but a
practical printer knows how many hours. the
coiipositor, anu aIter nin tiie prool-rehueT,
is compelled to spend in reducing to reada-
BILE condition, manuscripts that the writer
himself would be puzzled to read.
The above in whole or in part will apply to
at least two-thirds of the writers for the
press. Many who have something of rep.
utation as authors, can neither puuctuaie
spell or write dramatically, to say nothing
of their sprawling pennmanship. And as
might be expected, these are generally the
ones that find the most fault which is no
small annoyance, and we have sometime:
wished it were penal offence to correct an
authors's manuscript.
