It is announced that Henry Clay Dean de-
clines to be a candidate for Governor of Iowa.
The organs of his party do not seem to be very
profoundly afflicted, as general thing, by this
decision on his part The Chicago Times, for
example, applauds it, and says that " the emf
nent services rendered by that patriot, during
the last half years, entitle him to the
rest and recreation of private life. ~ Dean was
a thorough and consistent rebel during the war,
and never hesitated to denounoe the Democrat
ic Party for anything that looked like support
ing the Government in carrying on the war
He was greatly exasperated, like his colleague
and confederate, Mr. Vallandigham, on being
excluded from the Philadelphia Convention,
and now, in revenge, denies the Democratic
Party the use of his name in the coming elec.
ton. This may seem cruel on his part, but
"revenge is sweet. IN Y Tines.

EDUCATION.
In the Family Circle and at School
s. What General Robert E.Lee
Thinks About It-Interest-
ing Suggestions i'


The Virginia papers publish the. follow-
ing, which ought to. secure the attention Of
parents e q
Obedience is the first requisite in family
training. It should be made sincerez and
perfect, and to proceed as much from affec-.
ton as a conviction of its necessity To
accomplish this, great prudence and the
exercise of much patience are necessary
By frmness mixed with kindness the child
will learn, by repeated experience, that he
is not to follow his first impulse. and that
self-control, which even an infant can un-
derstand, Is necessary to his comfort.-
Neither violence nor harshness should ever
be used and the parent must bear con-
stan0y in mind that to govern his child he
must show him that he can control himself
One of the most common errors in the
management of children is irregularity of
behavior towards them. They are as skill
full, as pertinacious in their attempts to
crafty their self-Will at one time trying
to evade authority, at tanother to oppose it.
If they once succeed, they are encouraged
/ to persevere, and it is necessary for the
parent to meet the first attempt with firm
ness, and not permit himself to be baf1ed
either by evasion or resistance. Although
child may not yield to threats, and may
defy punishment, he cannot resist patient
kindness and gentle admonition.
The love of truth is equal in importance
to habitual obedience. Every encourage
ment, even to the pardoning of ofFenses,
should be given to its cultivation. The
first impulse in the mind of children is
always to speak the truth rather than false
hood, until some evil motive arises to sway
them to untruth. They should be accusl
toned to hear the truth always spoken
Confession Of error, with a detestation OF
falsehood, dishonesty, and equivocation
should be sedulously inculeated. Aistriet
adherence to promises made to them is of
the utmost Importance, as well as the re-
moval Of ali temptation to misconduct.
The influences of Christianity from the
essential element of moral character, as lis
principles are the only sufficient basis of
virtue or happiness. Hence the parents
most sacred duty to his child is to impress
the sentiments Of our holy religion early
upon bis mind by personal explanation
and systematic instruction. AS tbs, intel

pretended and felt, and its motives and
principles be strengthened and confirmed

an essential part. Of the education Of
youth is to teach them to serve themselves,
and to impress upob them the fact that moth

How Absurd.


Our forefathers Of the revolution were
certainly great asses when they incoFpora-
tediuto the Declaration Of Independence,
the following silly objections to the con
duct of the King of Great Britain:
/. Keeping in the colonies in the time
of peace standing armies.
2. Rendering the military independent
of and superior to the civil power.
3. Imposing taxes without allowing re-
presentation.
A. The depriving the cOlonists the bene-
ct of trial By jury.
5. For suspending Colonial Legislatures.

suit IN an undietinguished destruction of all
ages, sexes and conditions.
7. Abdicating government by declaring
US out of the protection of the moth
er country.
8. Quarteriug large bodies of armed
troops on the colonists.
9. Sending into the colonies swarms Of
officers to collect taxes and oppress the
colonists.
10. Refusing to pass proper laws foI
large districts of people unless they would
relinquish the rightOf representation.
H. Obstrueting and interfering with the
/ judiciary, thus denying justice.
u. Interfering with Legislative bodies
aud dissolviug them for opposing with

IS. Protecting military officers by mock
trails. for offences which they have com
mitted against the colonists.

The leading article in the New York
WorIa of Tuesday. opens with the follow
ing paragraph eff the Southern people
should resist the execution of martial law
by force, they would be fighting in as
righteous a cause as any in which patriot
ever drew his sword. Armed resistance is
the natural and appropriate mode of re-
dress for such fagrant injustice as is now
meditated against the South. Resistance
to tyrants is obedience to God" The on
iy good reason for not appealing to arms in
this conjuncture is the hopelessness of sue
cess.

without labor and that the very necessa-
ries and comforts of life must be procured
by earnest and regular exertion.s They
should also be Taught to know that, aftef
having been reared and educated by their
parents, they should not expect thena to
provide further for them, and that their
future subsistence and advancement must
depend upon themselves. Parents Some
times commit the mistakesof allowing their
children, after having reached the period
of life when they ought to Be engaged in
making livelihood, to rely upon them fer
support. This encourages them to injuri-
Gus idleness, and destroys their spirit Of
self-dependence, which is necessary for
their advancement IN life. and causes them
to appear SO unreasonable as to depend mp
on. them after having arrived ap age
when they should think and act for them
selves.
The choice of profession is not Of 50
much consequence as the manner in which
it is pursued. If habits Of self-controI and
self-denial have been acquired during the
season of education, the great object has
been accomplished. Diligence and integ-
rity in any useful pursuit of life will be
sure to secure prosperity and fame, and
success will result from engaging IN that
business in which the generality Of man
hood is interested. a
Such being the correct view of educa-
ton, the support aud oo-opeTation which
aithfuI teachers. should receive from pa
rents can be easily inferred from the good
sense of each one. We only ask special
/ attention, in concluding, to the following
/ suggestions, which our experience has
shown to be of prime Importance:
l. The parent, after committing his
child to the teaching of another, should
continue to manifest an affectionate interest
/ in his Improvement by constant inquiry
and encouragement.
I 2. The supplying of young persons,
4 while absent from their homes, with need
i less money. and the permission to contract
debts, are to be repFobated, as tempting to
a sinful prodigality and multiplying the
dangers of contracting habits of vice.
4 3. The proper authority of teachers
must be firmly Sustained by parents.
4 4. Every young person should be inform
ed by his parents, that he must give dill
gence to profit by his studies, or else mus
be compelled to make himself useful to so
Il ciety by actual labor in some humble

In Tennessee at least four ffths of those
who have landed or moneyed stake in
the country are disfranchised. The entire
black population. composed almost exclus-
lively of working men. are admitted to ball
lot and these, with the few Radicals who
viii be allowed certificates, by the Regis
ters Of Brownlow, compose the voting
force of the State.
As rule, the few white men who call
themselves Radicals, are without money
and credit. They are not without money
and without credit because they are Rad
icals, but they aae Radicals because they
are without money and without credit
Their political ideas embrace simply the
handcuffing of the native whites and the
eufranchisement of the eolored people, so
that they may, by voting the latter, get
hold of the offices and into the treasury,
steal enough to do them the balance Of
their lives. and then ''emigrate." This
