horted (or prayed,) until, the eyhOrtations hav-
ing proved Intellectual, the beating did its per
feet work; achieving not subjugation, but
death. Can we wonder that the hapless parent
regards himself as rather unlucly than de
praved-as misjudging rather than criminals
The great mass of parents have yet to learn
that their displeasure with child is no reason
and no excuse for beating it. Nor does the simple
fact that it has done wrong give them warrant
to subject it to physical torture. Here, for in
stance, is child of five to ten years, who, in the
hope of thereby attaining enjoyment or escaping
punishment, has told q lie. The father, natur-
ally indignant, thereup0n gives 1t beating.
What relation has the penalty to the Of
fenseq or rather, What good result may be
fairly expected from the beatinge Can you ra-
tionally expect it to love and speak the truth
because you have mauled itY Is 1T not far
more likely to hate and loathe yOu9 That child
will be good deal more apt hencefOrth to tell
one lie to hide another than to abhor and shun
lying altogether.
-" But may not parent justifably use force
" to restrain a child from evil-dOing 2"
Certainly. If the child insists on throwing
the hammer at the looking glass, or doing any
wanton, malicious mischief, the requisite force
may be employed to constrain it into better
behavior. But to restrain from evil-dOing is
one thing; to infict pain because evil has been
done, is quite another Many a child has been
hardened into inveterate depravity by chastise-
ments inflicted under the mistaken notion that
its evil propensities might thus be subdued and
eradicated.
We beg every parent who is prone to beat
ing his child to recall the experiences of his
own childhood, and consider what were the eff
fects on his moral nature of any and every
penal nfiictiOn he ever endured. We doubt
that so many as one in ten can fairly say that
all the parental beating TO which he was sub
iected did him as much moral good as harm.
We are not pleading for indulgence. Every
child should be taught to know the right and
to do it. What we urge is, that the rod, the
whip, the cudgel, are implements of parental
discipline which have, on TIE whole, done far
more evil than goOd-that more children have
been confirmed and strengthened i'll wrong
doing than rescued therefrom by the infliction
of physical pain. How many have been
bludgeoned into idiOcy or permanent mental
infrmity by misjudging fathers, can never be
known till the sea shall give up her dead.
There are abundant means whereby q
parent may evince his dispeasure, his sorrow,
in view of the faults of his child, without
mauling it, Withdraw or withhold indulgences
which you would gladly have accorded, had
not your past confidence been abused-let your
child realize that your loss of faith in its
integrity inevitably subjects it to privations
and rcstrictions-show that your love for it
constrans you, most reluctantly, to render it
less happy because of its rangessions-but
keep the lash for unreasoning brutes, and be-
ware of employing it to deface and disfgure
the image of God.

The Common Council lost its good temper
ycsterday-if that can be lost which has never
been found-and severely censured the Legisa-
tllrc for one of its few acts which deserve com
mendation. The transfer of the supervision of
the thcateIs, pawnshops, cabs, &c. to the
Board of Police aroused the indignation of the
Councilmen, who Immediately repealed all
ordinances for the government of such places
Nobody is likely to be hurt, for some of these
ordinances were nOtoIiOusly improper. many
good laws were not made, and the Police
Board would have to use great ingenuity if it

to them and to the country. Spite of these Con-
servative speeches, the Raleigh meeting was of
the most Radical character. The speakers were
treated to frequent interruptions of the frank

cdifying. 1t is apparent that the cOlOred people

The Cable dispatches concerning the Lux
emburg question continue to be of an alarming
character The great Powers it is said, have
renewed the appeal to Prussia in the hope of
aveIting thereby the imminent war; but Prussia
is determined not to leave Luxembourg. We
infer from these dispatches and from our latest
steamer accounts that the subject of the con
trovcIsy is no longer the sale of Luxemburg
TO France, but the refusal of Prussia to evacu-
ate the fortress of Luxemburg.

LAND SALES AND NEW SETTLERS IN VIR
GINA Those who have access to the news
papers OF Virginia cannot have failed to OBJ
serve that while all are specializing as to
how they are to dispose Of their surplus lands
ana attract capital and immigration, a process
is quietly going on which will greatly affect
the destinies Of the State. We scarcely open
Virgins newspaper that does not mention
the sale OF land, and generally to some North
ern man or company. We have before us as
Fe write an imposing array Of such notices of
Gales, extracted from our Virginiah exchan prs
in the last two Of three months TheIlands
thus sold lie in no particular locality, but
are distributed throughout the various Dor !.
tons OF the Commonwealth, The prices
vary, OF course, according to the quality of the
LANDS, proximity to market, and those other
considerations that add to or detract from the
vslue Of land. Many Qf these sale. Are ssSssiet.
Cd tnronRn the inst. an1entali.y Of the various
.prising land agencies that exist In the
State. Some OF the best lands are thus quietly
changing hands. Shrewd capitalists from the
North and from abroad have explored the
State searching out the finest lands. and ex.
amined carefully into such as have the advan-
tage OF water power and contain coal and min
eral deposits. The process OF colonization and
of Individual settlement thus quietly going on
is but the beginning Of that tide, which, in a
few years, will sweep over the State, bringing
an influx OF capital and immigration that will
place Virginia in the front rank Of American
States.

MORE BOILER DEsTRUCTIoN.-The boiler

In this case dwelling whole block distant
from the boiler was entirely demolished, from

the house-two servants and two children Of

one severely injured Had the whole family

ANOTHER KENTUCKY HORROR.
An Innocent Babe Killed by Negro Ser.
want Girl-She Is Tried and Found

An Innocent Babe Killed oy Negro Ser.
want Girl-she is Tried and Found
Guilty.
From the Louisville Journal
A gentleman from Kentucky gives the New
Albany Ledger the following particulars OF a
terrible tragedy enacted near Newcastle, Hem
~ county on Thursday last. The victim of
the cold blooded affair was an innocent little
babe of three years, child OF Mr.. William
citizen OF that county. and the destroyer q
negro servant girl who had been living in the
family several years. On the day mentioned,
while Mrs Graves was attending to some do
mestic duties, the servant took the child from
the house to q tobacco patch in the rear Of the
stable, and about one hundred aHd fifty yards
from the house. Here. it appears from her
own confession, she made the child lay down
on the ground, and after crossing Its hands on
its breast, and making it bid its pa and ma
good the fend seized stone and crushed
its head almost to jelly. She then seized 1t by
the ankle and dragged IL over The stuoble 70
some thick IN derRrowth, where it was con-
cealed from human view.
A few moments after this the mother missed
the child, and ran out to search for it, but the
girl denied knowing anything about the child,
saying it must be in the house. The premises
tic mother, while every thought of spot about
the place was examined by MIR. Graves, and
several neighbors who joined in the search.
All efforts TO induce the girl to tell the where
abouts of the child proved ofno avail. At last
one gentleman, while searching, discovered her
slipping away, and after a sharp chase she
was caught, AND by the most violent threats
was induced to lead them to the spot where
the murder had been committed. There, in
the bushes, the child was found, and although
il had been three hours since the commission
of the deed, 1t gasped twice after being taken
out. The back OF the head was horribly bat
tered, and the back was terribly lacerated,
where II had been dragged over the stubble to
the place Of concealment.
The entire neighborhood were highly ex-
cited at the murder and threats of Iynching
were freely uttered. However. better coun-
sells pre- vailed, and the girl was taken to New
castle and arraigned in the Circuit Court now
in session. for murder in the first degree. She
was convicted by the jury Of the crime as
charged, but up TO yesterday the Judge had
not passed sentence. 1t is the opinion of our
in formant that she will be hung.
Itwas developed on trial that this was the
third child she had killed, two white, and one
colOred. The murder of the colored child oc-
Cured short time ago, and the deed was
done in such manner that no one at the time
suspected that a murder had been committed.
The child had been held with Its feet up until
a rush Of blood to the head caused death to re-
heve it from its suffering. The only cause
assigned by the girl for the last murder was
because she felt mad at her mistress, Mrs.
Graves. We wore unable TO learn the name
CT the murderer.
