DOMINICAN CoNvEET.--In our account
last week of the exhibition of this flourish
ing institution, on Dryades street, we inad-
vertently did an injustice to some of the
young ladies, which we hasten to correct.
In speaking of a'highly interesting debate
on the relative greatness of 1'heod0sius,
and Napoleon, we gave, as we had received
the impression that all the discourses we're
written by one of the young ladies. The
facts of the case, however, were more to
the credit of the institution, in showing
that several of the pupils were competent

tiuns. Misses Campbell, Mccormack, Quill

witness-to the universal and iDdisputable
teStimony. In tradition are preserved,
and by tradition are, from genera
tion to generation, bequeathed, especially
the moral notions and religious principles,
by which domestic, civil and Social life is
governed. Unless it be in the cities of
New York and Chicago and in the State of
Indiana (but more about this hereafter)
you will find this to be the actual case.
Families cannot subsist1without morality,
neither can the association Of families,
which we term society, without the tradi-
tion in which the principles Of morality are
embalmed. Still between the embalmment
Of principles and the embalmment of un-
souled bodies there is a difference, to which
we would invite the scientific readers at
tenfion. We often and Ditch pulled the
nose, in our schoolboy days, of some rot
ten "Your Majesty" of Egypt, and en-
joyed boys fulness of fun in the dis
loyal and irreverent playfulness not un-
usual in that happy time of life, but
the embalmment we are here con-
sidering is different: it is to the scattered
families into which mankind has, ever
since that disturbapce at Babel, been
broken, what canned fruit and fish, the
process of canning which is akin to en-
are to the estrayed ones from
home, who wander with only this memento
of the civilization they bid adieu to over
the wastes of our continents. The CON-
ceptions of right and wrong we are refer
ring to, human society, whatever its theo-
retical notions may be, cannot undervalue
even in its widest dreams of radical legis-
lstiOn, nay even to our constitution, to
which might, instead of right, dictates all
the notifications, there will be, before this
writer is relieved from duty, another
added, by which right, long
left in allegiance, will be awakened from it's
indignant slumber, and begged to resume
the exercise of its eternal prerogatiyes.
The distinction between good and evil, be-
tween merit and demerit, reward and pun
ishment, praise and condemnation, right
and wrong, with the eternal consequences
in the distinction, is indispensable
to human society, which, without this dis
tinction, could not only not exist, but
could not even be q conception for the most
original poets imagination to impinge
upon. Those ideas come floating down
through time as wrecks from the primitive
ark of our salvation. Generations after
generations of the saved or shipwrecked
passed them or abandoned them to those
who came subsequently, to struggle against
the capriciOus waves of life they were
the floating wrecks set loose before the ship
went down, to which clung many an or
of the dismembered primi-
tive family of mankind, and which were
preserved by him in his family and trans
mitted by him to his descendantsss at
once an heirloom to be cherished and a
to be consecrated forever, from
those loved and dear ones whose hopes,
with their bodies, may long have been
dashed against some rock of ocean,

THE FRENCH ARMY.


 And corps of gems darmes, quartermasters and other non-combatant forces which will swell the total force of that Empire to 757,- sos men. This is not, however, an entirely reliable figure, for in case of war the eompa- nies can be filled up to their regular quota, so that the French army which is ready to take the field will probably amount to not less than S50000 men.
 It should be remembered, however that Frances able-bodied population will be al- most entirely exhausted if she puts the above number of men into the field, while Germany will only have furnished her contingent of young men of the ages of twenty-one to twen- ty-four years for the field by sending an equal number of men to the front. It is interesting to notice the numerical strength of the rest of the European powers which are likely to become involved in the impending struggle, or which are at all events, deeply interested in the question of the day.
