CURE FOR BoTTs.-A farmer in
the Cincinnati Gazette gives the
following as an unfailing cure for
bolts: "Some fifteen years ago | re-
ceived the following formula as a
specific for bolts, or cramp collie in
horse, together with the assur.
ance that one drop of the mixture
would instantly kill bott if ii
could be brought into contact
with any part of his body. Ihave
seen a great many horses said to
have bolts instantly relieved by
giving dose of it, and then fore
ing them into brisk gallop or trot,
so as to shake the liquid all over
the stomach. The mixture is one
pint of good vinegar, with one
fourth pound of alum dissolved
in it, given at one dose, It is
perfectly harmless"

Stonewau Jackson--A

incident in the life of Jackson,
which gives us an insight into
some of the thoughts that occu-
pied his mind the day after the
great battle in which he won his
immortal sobriquet of "Stone-
WALL"
A few days after the first bat
tie of Manassas an eager, anxious
crowd was assembled at the post
Office in Lexington, Virginia, on
the arrival of the mail. The
greatest excitement prevailed,
and tidings ''from the front" were
eagerly sought after. The veneer
able DIR. White (pastor of the
Presbyterian church) took let
ter from the postofice, and, recog-
nizing it as the handwriting CT
Brigadier General afterwards
StonewalD Jackson, he said to
the crowd, "Here is a letter from
General Jackson-now we will
have full and authentic particu'
lars of the battle" The crowd
eagerly asked him to read aloud,
and pressed around to hear the
expected stirring news from the
field Of conflict. He broke the
seal, and, to the disappointment
of all, found only these few lines :
MANASSAS JUNCTION, July %,
1861-"My Dear Pastor: l re-
member that my, subscription to
Domestic Missions is about due.

ton to tell of those heroic deeds
which rendered famous, forever,
"Stonewall Jackson and the

good man teaches a lesson which

Some SOlon in our State Legislature
thinks be can improve on Solomon's
method of bringing up youth, and has
therefore presented a bill to abolish
corporal punishment in our public
schools. The principle, if a correct one
ought to be applied to family as we'll
as school discipline or else the one
viii simply demoralize the other. If
young Americas parents eorporealIy
punish him for a particular ofFense at
home and be finds his teachers are
forbidden by law to punish him for
the same thing at school, he will nat
urallE. conclude that his parents have
treated him cruelty, and that the peo-
pie who make laws know better what
ought to be done than they do. Act
ing upon such a conclusion he would
naturally attept to exercise his legal
prerogatives both in the school room
and the home circle. Iti a lament
able fact that ever since the fall of
Adam the fear of the birch has con-
tiuued to be aa Indispensable chasten-
er of the youthful mind. There is an
unfortunate tendency ia this country
to ignore the necessity of discipline,
Like most evils it begins at home, ex-
tends to our public schools and reaches
even to our legislation in reference to
public offenders. On every hand the
cry is not to restrain but to indulge,
not to punish but to pardon. until, cor
reotion has almost become more Odi--
GUS than crime, and an offender who
has lost all respectabiIity is about the
most independent individual in the
community. It is time that in this
respect the cords were tightened a lit
tie, and the best place to begin would
be where the evil commences. A lit
tie more birch would be a vast saver
of hemp and checker work in hu-
man society.

On Wednesday afternoon the Ohio
Senate took up the question of sub

sition to strike from our Constitution
it's unreasonable, unjust and ridiculous
restrictions against che exercise Of
suffrage by persons Of particular
complexion. Mr. Hayden, of Hamil-
ton, opened the discussion with a
strong speech in favor Of the measure.
Mr.. Knowles, Of Washington, follow
ed, confessiDg change of opinion in
reference to the ezpedienoy of submit
ting the proposition now. Mr.. War
ner, the able Senator from this Dis
trict, next addressed the Senate,
proudly confessing a similar change oi
views with Mr.. Knowles, and making
an effective address in favor of the
measure. In the evening Mr.. Cole, Of
Union, urged the propriety of giving
the people an opportunity to vote up
on the proposition at the next cleo
ton. Speeches were made upon the
opposite side BY two Of the Democrat
ic members, after which q vote was
taken and the measure passed by %
yeas to II nays. But one Republican,
Uoombs, of Highland, voted in the
negative.
The measure now goes to the House
which will scarcely take the Tesponsi-
bility of defeating the noble action Of
the Senate. No Republican that we
know of has yet opposed the measure
on other grounds than mere expedien-
cy-all favor universal suffrage as
principle. Even some Of the Demo
srats have assumed the same attitude.

The Dublin letter and the extracts

this morning give US detailed inf0rma-
tion-o the last days Of the Fenian in
surreetion. There was no lack of men,
no lack of ammunition. and, in partic-
ular, no lack of sympathy, and many
of the English papers bore witness to
the dangerous character of the out
break. But there was undoubtedly a
great lack Of leadership, and on Thurs
day morning, where our previous ac-
count left of, the backbone of the re-
.bellion was already broken. There
still were concentrations of Fenians
in Cork, Tipperary, Waterford, and
Limerick Counties, but they were ca
silly subdued No firm footing was
gained BY any Of the bands, and ouly
two days later (on March ID the cable
announced the complete restoration of
peace. But In spite of this misman-

people with the Fenian movement
stood out more conspicuously than on
any other oecasion.-N. 7, Tribune,
