Ger Down THE ARNY.-The n. Y. Sun
says:-The extra session of Congress, which
will probably meet in the beginning Of June.
has to be called because the means of paving
the army must be provided. The necessity
for such an extra session grows out OF the
fact that in the last Congress the House Of
Representatives and the Senate were not able
to agree upon the magnitude of the army. and
upon the uses to be made Of it.
Now, the first duty of the representatives
Of the people in this extra session, is 10 in.
sist upon reducing the army to ten thousand
men. This number is sufficient for every
regular need Ofthe country. The public ser.
vice can be fully performed by an army of
this size, and not a single soldier above the
number of ten Thousand should be allowed by
Congress.
Next to the duty of reducing the military
force to ten thousand men, the House of Re-.
representatives. should insist upon attaching To
the bill provision that the army shall not he
employed for any political use, either in the
way OF watching over elections, or for the
purpose of supporting claimants To office in
any State.
Other questions will, doubtless, be raised
but there can be nothing else Of such moment

The Agricultural College receives SC, OOO
annually from the State, and $4,000 from
the United States. The money of the
State has been thrown away upon this
institution. 1t was founded, os,ensibly
for the advancement of agriculture, but SO
little has it benefited the farming interest,
and fulfilled the object for which it was
chartered, that at the last meeting of the
board of trustees, it was found necessary
to pass instructions to the new board to
make practical and experimental agTicul-
ture the leading feature in the College
curriculum. When the Legislature meets
in January next, let the State refuse any
longer to waste money on this wretched

That Rail Road.

MEssRs. EDIroRs - noticed in several
numbers of your paper that public attention
In various parts Of our county and those ad.
joining has lately been directed to the great
advantages Of Railroads, and especially 10 the
new railroad, to be projected from the Bach.

Maryland Railroad, at or near Westminster
or the Reisterstown station. It is move.
ment in the right direction, and the route that
can show mp the best, as regards right .of-way,
stock subscription and trade, will stand the
best chance to obtain il.
Now, Messrs. Editors, all that has been
said and done is right and proper. Let each
route present their claims, and we, of the
valley, desire to do the same. A railroad
into this valley Worthington) would be a
great matter TO the farmers and all persons
within ten miles of the line. The prospect of
tine wheat harvest and an abundance OF all
crops in fact, should encourage all TO renew
their efforts at once Each aud every interest
demands the road; the merchant, the me.
chanle, the farmer, the laborer, all are inter-
ested. And none, ! presume, are so dull of
apprehension as not to appreciate the advan.
tages which railroad must afford for the
transportation Of various commodities to and
from market, or too ayarieious 10 contribute
their portion to secure them. We have from
beginning 70 end water power, ore, lime,
stone, wood, produce, &C., eqnal 10 any other
route proposed, and feel confident that there
is not . route TO equal it in any respect. We
also have means, and now all that we want
is to work, and IL we desire this road, beware
Of delays. The time for action is at hand,
and now If we win VIC must work. We can
not say that it is Of all other routes the most
economical, and yet we think it the most
likely to be built, provided proper and timely
means are used to secure il. As friend Of
this enterprise repeat-don't detay this york.
A proposition has been made, aud surveys
will soon commence, and If we raise the
amount promised, and the surveys prove sat

CoRPoRRAL PuNIsHMEsT.-When,w where,
how and by whom an unrnly sehoolboy ought
to be logged, is a question which has for
centuries been debated by parents and school
teachers. A Philadelphia boy was recently
larruped with ferrule by the schoolmarm,
and the mother Of the boy made haste to cow
hide the schoolmarm. The mother was placed
under arrest, when she said she would not
maintain that her boy was one Of the good
ones, but she wished It understood that she
was sthe one TO correct him. There are
thousands Of mothers who will shout "Amen!''
to that sentiment; still there are two sides to
the question, which remains unsettled.
We think that the practice Of AOgging
ought to cease in the schools TWAS long
since abolished in the Navy as cruelty,
and one subject TO very great abuse. 1t
is no better adapted to the government of
children in school, than Of adults in the
Navy An unruly boy should be repri-
manded, and if incorrigible he should be
expelled from the school, No parent of
correct views would object to the discipline
of a child after that manner, but few in
deed will consent to corporal punishment.
Any boy elected from school on account
of bad conduct, ought not to fail to receive
the rod from the parent, the only person
legally entitled to inaict it, Teachers who
hold and practice the idea of aogging,
must expect the practice to be visited upon
themselves, at times, but this is bad
remedy for the evil The child which is
expelled for very bad conduct, and is not
adequately punished so as to insure proper
subordination, ought not to be readmitted
to the school, as order and decorum are
the first req uisites of well regulated
school.
