The hostile correspondence between Gen.
Eppa Hunton and Mr.. Columbus Alexander,
the latter of Washington City, has culmi-
mated in Gen. Hunton posting Mr. Alexan-
der as liar, blackguard and coward. Mr..
Alexander, however. does not accept this as
a finality. He shoots back and informs Hun
ton that he neither accepted nor declined
his challenge, and that he never yet has been
sought and not found. Mr. A. is an old and
delicate man, and says his grand children
are old enough to do his fighting. General
Hunton is in the prime of vigorous manhood.
We think the General made a mistake in
his card of invitation" Indeed, the whole
difficulty could have been arranged by a few
kind words, and the country saved the I'M
pleasant exhibit Of temper and prejudice
which has characterized the controversy.

Mother, don't tell your little children las
we have heard mothers do,) that they won It
mind, that you never saw such bad children;
or that it is useless to speak to them. This
is the certain way to make them disobedient
and reckless, as any one can see. Once let
a little child understand that you do not ex-
pect it to obey you, and you may look for
characterization as matter OF course. A
little loving faith in the chiId's good impulses
will be far more effectual than an announce
ment that you expect it to do wrong. The
very stubbornness and disobedience of
child is oftentimes caused by nervousness
and excitement, as much and more than by
wickedness, and should be treated accord
ingly.
