SOMETHING FOR PARENTS 10 Con-
sIDER- Children and Ne,DspaperS.-
A child beginning to read becomes
delighted with a newspaper, because
be reads of names and things which
are very familiar, and he will make
progress accordingly. A newspaper
in one year, says an eminent teacher,
is worth a quarters schooling TO a
child, and every father must consider
that substantial information is con
nected with his advancement. The
mother of the family, being one OF
the heads, and having a more imme.
date charge of the children, should
herself be Instructed. A mind occu-
pied becomes fortified against the ills
of life, and is braced for any emer-
gency. Children amused by reading
or study are, Of course, considerate
and more easily governed How
many thoughtless young men have
spent their energies in a tavern or
grogshop, who ought to have been
readingl How many parents who
never spent twenty dollars TOR books
for their families would gladly have
given thousands TO reclaim "A son or
daughter who had ignorantly and
thoughtlessly fallen into temptation.

MISS ANN SURRATT-The Wash.
iugton correspondent of the N. Y.
Sun, in notice of the Surratt trial at
Washington, says
The most sorrowful countonanoe TO
be seen among the crowds that daily
flock to the Court is that Of Miss Sur
ratt, the prisoners sister, who is gen
orally seated near him. The only
thing that could make one wish that
the prisoner would not be found guilty
is the sight of that sad female face,
on which great sorrow has fixed its
enduring stamp. The death OF her
mother has cast over her life shade
the darkness of which cannot be re-
moved in this world. She appears
more nervous as to the result OF the
trial than any one else. Poor girl,
her lot must be hard to bear.

The sailor is dropped in the sea;

The woodman is crushed by his tree.
Bach prodigal life that is wasted
In many achievements unseen,
But lengthens the days Of the coward,
And strengthens the crafty and mean.

The telegraph furnishes the informa-
ton that the Central Committee of the

Convention. The meeting of that body
will be looked forward to with interest,
until it shall have convened and disposed
Of the great work for which it has been
called. Its action will be Of more than
ordinary national importance, and It's
labors attended with consequences difi-
cult now to predict and Impossible 70

from all parts of the nation for the pur.
pose of celebrating upon the pubic veal
and selecting q chief magistrate, IS on

none of its importance because OF Its

of the kind wherein all the States and

A TOUCHING TRIBUTE.-A motherlcss
little girl, not four yerrs old, bright and
beautiful, would almost daily find her
way to n of the departments on the
Hill. Every one there had q kind word,
a gentle look, or a tender caress for the
dark eyed, winsome Katie"
But there came q time when the de-
partment heard no more of the patter of
the tiny feet, the musical laugh, or the
childish prattle-when the tender waif
those strong men had taken to their
hearts went out forever from the dusty
volumes and musty records of the office;
for, ono day, word was sont to them
that little Katie was dead | Most Of the
gentlemen in that department had been
soldiers-had themselves looked death
in the face, and seen its most horrid
forms. Death and the entombing Of the
dead were familiar things; to deal
with them had been their occupation
for years. Would they mind the death
of a child? Would they? Any assis.
lance they could render was freely ten
dered, and on the day Of the burial,
they closed their business, and in a body
attended the funeral. No more touch
ing tribute could they pay to the mem
DRY of their pet than this. And no
better proof of their WI manhood and
goodness of heart could be asked than
that, after participating in a dreadful
war, the brave "boys in blue" could
return to weep over the grave Of q child.

PRESCRIPTION THE RUIN OF HI REPUB-
LIcAS PARTY IN H SoUrH.-Whilc the
franchise section was pending before
the Alabama convention, q letter was
printed in the Montgomery Nail, from
Col. Charles 8. G. Dosser, one Of the
leading Union men of the State, and
always true in the darkest hours OF
rebellion, that ought to have had an in
fluence with the sane men in the con-
ventiou. He demonstrated against the
majority report (since adopted) as GER
tain to produce the worst consequences,
both for blacks and whites. He espe-
cially pointed out that it would make it
impossible for white men in the south
to be members of the republican party.
Mr.. Doster said
al did not think, nor do l now think,
that the great republican party of the
Union intended by its reconstruction
measures to make the South a pande-
monium; to create an irreconcilable
war of races, more bitter and terrible
than that which once was waged
between the Spaniards and Moors in
old Spain to drive every white man
and true patriot in the southern States
away from the republican party, and to
virtually e1pel the whites from the
South. If the majority report Of tho
franchise committee becomes the funda-
mental law of the State, it will un-
aroidably have this fatal effect. The
recent proceedings Of the convention
indicate that extreme men govern, and
that wild measures will prevail. If SO,
all ia lost with US. Poor Alabama
Already bleeding at every pore, impov.
erished and ruined ; her talent paralyzed
and her intelligence o%verborne, If the
whites of the State ore disfranchised
as contemplated, and as will result from
the adoption of said report ; and, If the
wild schemes now before the convention
prevail, the day Of settlement, tranquil
ity and prosperity is postponed far into
the future. If the radical wing Of the
republican party is successful in their
revolutionary and proscriptive measures
in the State convention, then the great
mass of the whites will abandon the
party, because they will surely see in
its triumph the certain defeat n loss
of everything worth living for, and the
hopeless degradation Of themselves and
their children. How conid they do
otherwise without utter stultihcation
and establishment"

A ST.nT11yo EysYr-AnMEp NEGROES

A STARTLING EvRNr-ARMED NEGROES
MARCH INTO A MISSISSIPPI Town AND De-
MAND BREAD.-For some time n great
deal of dissatisfaction has existed among
tho freedmen in the neighborhood Of
Columbus, Mississippi. They had quit
work, and left the fields white with cot
ton, and would not pluck q boil, tho
reason given for such action being that
their share of tho crop would not pay
their expenses for the year, owing to
tho tax on the staple and the low price
to which it had fallen. AS o Us they
refused to work, as a matter of course
they had to leave the plantation and
give up their houses to other laborers
who would work. They then took to
the woods, and commenced a system of
indiscriminate pilf.ring and stock kill
ing. About two hundred of them have
been assembled in the neighborhood Of
Columbus, Mississippi, since the begin
ming of the election, and had become q
perfect nuisance and terror to the neigh
borhood. At the request of the citizens
o company of United States troops have
been stationed at Columbus for the pro-
lection of the lives and. property Of the
people. When this band of vagaboud-
ised negroes had exhausted the country
of everything which was stcalable, they
determined to make a raid upon the
town of Columbus in full force. They
we're all armed, and, procuring a fife
and drum, they marched into the town,
demanding bread. Not m of them
asked for work; thoy did not want that.
Bread was all their cry, and they were
about commencing an indiscriminate
robbery, when the United States troops
appeared on tho ground and disarmed
them first, and then dispersed them.
The ringleaders were taken into custody.
What a scene of b~loodshed and robbery
we would have to relate had it not been
for the fortunate presence of tho troops,
We shudder to think of.-From the Mem
phis Avalanche, 23d.

Mr.. ESDIcorr, the Boston merchant,
who has been extinguishing Ben. But
ler's plan Of extinguishiug the public
debt in the Boston 4dvsrtiser, writes an
other article to prove that this debt is
by no means Of itself the ''intolerable
burden" that misunderstanding politi-
clans represent it to DO. 1t amounts
only to 500 so for each inhabitans Of
the country, and the interest Of this is
but q trile more than q cent o day. The
increase of property for the present de-
cade, in the States of New York and
Ohio alone, if continued at the present
rate, will, in 1870, be sufficient to pay
the entire debt, leaving a surplus of
three hundred millions Of dollars. The
real hardships, as Mr.. Endicott we'll
says, OF the laboring men at present,
grow out Of the imitation of the cur
rency, and this the regulators would
aggravate by ar indefinite expansion.

Tho Oldest Man.

The Wooster (Ohio) Democrat says
There is residing at this time IN .
village of Jefferson, Plain Township,
Wayne County, Ohio, i've miles wess OF
wooster, the oldest man in the State OF
Ohio, and probably in the United States.
His nameis John Folgate. He was porn
in Lebanon County, Pennsylvania. In
the month of February, 1863, making
him one hundred and eight years. he
emigrated to Ohio in 1929, and has hvea
since that time, an industrious, quiet,
unobtrusivo life in Jefferson. He was
consequently seventy years Of age when
he settledin that village-haying already
attained the period in life designated in
Holy Writ as the usual limit OF human
existence, and at which most men, under
the burden of many years, die. Physi-
cally, he Is rather small-probably un.
der medium-but exhibits o compast
form and a we'll constructed body, which
no doubt, eighty years ago, was ono OF
physical excellence and muscular per.
lection. He was married at the ago OF
thirty, to Miss Elizabeth Wolgamott-
the very mention Of whose name starts
bitter tears in those old eyes that
have led him upward through the
darkness and labyrinths of a century.
His wife was born in Lancaster county,
Penn, three years before the battle of
Lexington, and three years after the
birth Of the great Bonaparte. She has
often seen and spoken to Washington.
Her death occurred January 20, l849, in
her 18th year. An only child was their
welded inheritance and the old man
who carries upon his back tho weight
of we'll nigh a million hours, weeps and
wonders that the son, aged 80 years,
should BIO dead and the father here. He
was q tsamster in his early years about
Baltimore, Nd, and in Pennsylvania,
but for the last sixty or seventy years
has been engaged in mechanical labor.
He was drafted in the var of 1912,
shouldered his musket, and was dis
charged on account Of his Gge-so that
6fty.fve years ago he was too for ad-
vanced in life to be q soldier. AT tho
time he was drafted he was keeping a
tavern at q place called Sporting Hill
near Baltimore. In politics he was al.
ways IN old line whig, but in political
rs we'll as social life, while he had stern
convictions, he had but few prejudices.
