Admiral Raphael Senlmes.

Of all the men who participated in the
rebellion, one of the most inexcusablei is,
perhaps, Admiral Raphael Semmes, the
buccaneer of the rebellion, who COM
manded the Alabama, and was known
throughout the confederacy to be 'as
brave a man as ever sopttled ship or
cut a throat" Hewas an educated man,
of remarkable literary ability, and had
sworn allegiance to the government he
strove to destroy. 1t was very fit that
this man should have been one OF the
speakers at the recent convention OF the
Southern Historical Society, at the
Montgomery White Sulpher Springs, and
we were not disappointed in getting from
the ''pride of the South upon the sea,
a remarkably logical and polished speech.
His opening sentence was characteristic
of his school of politics, and is instruo-
tive to those who are mourning over the
loss of power of the leaders of the re-
bellion. He said eff this government
was merely to be governed by the ma
iority, it's days are numbered-it would
go as other republics had gone"
In speaking of the war of the Roses,
in England, he said: They We're only
episodes, and so would our war be IN
time" The predictions now of the
Admiral are regarded by the southern
people, about as his prophecies of south
ern independence, during the was, were
by the rest of the world, and it will take
many more meetings of his Historical
Society, to dwindle the five years OF
fratricidal war necessary to uphold the
government, and enforce the laws, into
an episode in the nations history. Nc
sir; Jeff, and his fellow traitors may
talk nonsense as much as they please,
they can never remove the stain of trea-
son from their garments, and to theil
dying day, they will find that with royal
people, treason is odious,' and the
sooner they adopt, and recognize the
principle, that in this government, the
majority must rule, the sooner they vii
find themselves in accord with the peo
pie of sthe country, and the genius OF
republican institutions.

senator Matt Carpenter.

A short time ago the New York
Tribune made a reckless and despicable
attack upon Senator Matt Carpenter, of
Wisconsin.
The following extract from dirty
editorial in the Tribune of August 8,
will indicate the style of the charges
against the Independent and brilliant
Senator from the Badger State:
Between the sensual sot, of brilliant
intellect but vile associations and de-
praved habits, who so lately set him
self and paramour on public exhibition
in this CITY and at Long Branch-be-
tween him and the Presidency OF the
United States are but two lives, and one
of them Of frailest tenure.
OF course the editors of great many
petty papers throughout the country who
delight in retailing scandalous gossip,
and who possibly had some personal
malice to satisfy, re-echoed in their col
umns the ISLANDERS dictated by private
enmity-in the Tribune against Senator
Carpenter.
Well now, the Tribune, according TO
some, is the leading journal of America
and according to the universal opinion,
has some exceedingly brilliant minds
upon its staff and it is to be regretted
that its leading editor Mr.. WmtelaW
| Reid. should allow himself to be SO con-
trolled by his spite against Mr.. Carpen'
ter, as to defile his columns with such
filthy, unfounded, and scurrilous charges
az were contained in the article ia ques
| ton.
After reading this article the editor
of the Globe concluded that he had
chance to make strike for popular Ia
vor as a strict advocate for morality IL
high places, etc. So in very anus
ing and labored editorial, he seyera
times thanked God for a great man.

Extensive culture, reaching far be-
yond the branches to be taught IN our
public schools, is very desirable for the
teacher, as | have urged but thor
ough knowledge of these branches is IN
dispensa6Ze.
Thorough academic training implies,
first of all, a knowledge of the principles
which underlie the science. These prln-
ciples must be learned and made ia
miliar, with the reasons and their appll-
cation to the sciences of arithmetic, ge-
ography, grammar, history, etc., or these
branches cannot be taught successfully.
1t is important, therefore, to inquire
how thoroughly the candidate for the
teachers office (for whatever grade OF
school, has been trained in these primer
ples and facts. But this is not enough.
Our teachers must be professionally
trained. We have given them position
of great dignity; have entrusted them
with a work of vast Importance, and we

Notwithstanding the jeers and tlunts of
his former companions, and he became
circumspect in his remarks on female
character. For a number of months he
spent his spare hours writing to Mary,
and choosing appropriate gifts for her,
and for long time the Boston g. p
Express considered him one of their
best customers. But ere long there was
a brilliant wedding party at the house of
Squire Gay, and p lost its most charm
ing belle, for Miss Gay became Mrs.
Bundle. A few weeks ago Mr.. and
Mrs. Bundle went down to Rock Cove,
and visited the old Bundle homestead.
While there, Mr.. Thomas Blumble in
troduced his wife to Mr.. Jerry Smike,
and Mrs. Polly Ann Smike, and all the
little Smikes. 1t would be impossible to
tell who are most contented with their
lot, Thomas or Polly Ann. One thing
more and / am done. In answer TO
Blumble's advertisement for a chamber
maid, who would assist in plain sewing,
who do you think applied for the situs-
ton? You'll never guess, so I'll tell
you. 1t was Hattie Elton! Her New
York beau had heard of her filtration
with Blumble, and for that reason broke
his engagement with her; and she, who
might have been Mrs. Thomas Biumble,
must be content to be Mrs. Blumble's
servant.

his infinite mercy and compassion" for
great many more, amongst which was
the sparing of the life of Henry Will
son, to prevent the possible contingency
of Senator Carpenters elevation to the
Presidency-although this contingency
is dependent upon the other centin-
gency of the prior demise of General
Grant And Furthermore, ''with sadness
and feeling of deep humiliation" this
effusive editorial from an excitable in
tellect, ''recognized the fact that a son
of mountaineering to Senator Car
penter-was occupying the position of
President pro tenn. of the Senate
In justice to Matt Carpenter, the Globe
should now inform its misled subscribers
that ga special dispatch from Long
Branch to the Baltimore american con-
tradicts in the most positive language
certain imputations upon the character
of Hon. Matt. Carpenter, of Wisconsin,
which have recently appeared in the
New York Tribune and other papers
which take pleasure in retailing scandal
lous gossip" ...
The Chicago Times, bitter enemy of
Senator Carpenter, also says that it has
been contradicted by the Senator in con-
versation, and by others who were at
Long Branch, and the Long Branch cor
respondent of the Baltimore american
also asserts the Senator's innocence.
The latter says that the lady referred to
''belongs to the highest circles of socie-
ty, and has always enjoyed spotless
reputation. 1t is charged, both by Mr..
| Carpenter and the Long Branch writer,
| that the SANDER was cOncocted by a T356-
u1ae reporter, who, two years since, was in
carcerated for contumacy by order of
the Senate, having refused to answer
| certain questions put to him by com
mittee, of which Mr.. Carpenter was
chairman. Ever since that period the
Tribune has remorselessly pursued and
! attacked Mr. Carpenter; and Whitelaw
Reid himself, who has personal malice
| against the Senator, has never allowed
an opportunity to pass to slander him,
and it really seems as though Whitelaw
Reid was continually and carefully nurs.
ing q the ncver-dying fires of revenge,
which are burning deeply in his soul.
1t is not at all difficult to believe thai
the Tribune was actuated by malice, but
the question is whether Mr.. Carpenter
will take steps to vindicate himself
against the assault We hope that hC
will, out of justice to himself; but from
personal knowledge of the matter, anC
acquaintance with both parties, we know
that the Senator shrinks from dragging
the name of the lady, in whose compa
ny he was seen, into the publicity of (
newspaper controversy, or into a cour
of justice.
In conclusion, we would state for TIN
benefit of the editor of the Globe
that if he would ''thank God" less in hi
editorials, and more in his daily devo
tions in his closet, it would rebound Il
his credit and to the benefit of his pa
per; and we ''devoutly pray God. in hi
infinite mercy and compassion, that h
will enlighten the e6itor of the Globe t.
such an extent that he will understan
that no public journal can, for any lengtI
of time, with impunity. make such gros
and libellous charges against cur publ
men, so wholly unfounded and unsus

And by the willing western wind
Far DER the sea were borne.
We left behind the city's din;
We found d world new made from
night
At every sense there entered in
Some subtle, fresh delight.
The west wind rocked us as we lay
Within the boat, and idly scanned
The dim horizon far away
For some fair, unknown land.
And on and on we drifted thus,
Not caring whittier we might roam :
For all the world, that day, to us
Was Paradise, was home,
And as we sailed, a sweet surprise
OF comfort in the present, grew;
We saw old things with clearer eyes,
We dreaded less the new.
The past and future, seemed to blend
Remembrance missed her shadow, grief
Anticipation was q friend,
And hope became belief.
The strangeness vanished out of life;
Affliction dropped its stern disguise;
And suffering, WEAKNESS and strife
Were changed before our eyes.
So, but more clear, from hills of God,
Our life on earth one day shall show;
And the dim path that here we trod
With purest light shall glow.
Too quickly sped the hours away
The evening brought us home again;
And after that brief holiday
Came toll, and care, and pain.
Yet like peaceful dream, that long
Will steal into the waking thought,
Or, like awell-remembered song,
That happy tears have brought.
That bright, brief, summer holiday,
The willing wind, the sea, the sky,
Gave gifts no winter takes away,
And hopes that cannot die.
ScribneT's, for September.
