From the Bluff.
POPLAR BLUFF, April 10Th. 1ss:

IOPl1Ah DLUFF, April iStH, 1857.
Ed. Register-As you have not heard from
me since 1 left Texas, thought 1 would
drop you few lines from this place while
resting from my fishing labors.
Well, last week was the time for elections
in all large corporate cities like Poplar Bluff.
This county boasts of Democratic vote
of two to one, which / believe it has.
Nevertheless it does not look that way from
the result of the last election in this place.
The Democrats did succeed in electing their
candidate for Mayor; but in the Second Ward
Mr.. Hugh Smith, u Republican formerly of
Ironton), was elected Councilman, and in the
Third Ward Mr.. King, another Republican,
was also elected Councilman. In the First
Ward Fl. Blackstone, a Canadian, was elected.
Politics not known.
The most exciting race of all was for Mar
shal, there being four candidates in the field.
The brother of the Democratic organ ran as
a Democrat, Mr.. Mickey formerly of Indi-
anal as a Republican, and a Mr.. Reeves also
as Republican. But neither of the above
gentlemen were elected. However, Re-
publican was elected; and, worse than that,
he Is an Amsterdam Dutchman. And give
it as my opinion If we had few more such
Democratic organs published in Butler coun-
ty as the one we have, by the next election
it would go all Republican; but If we only
had about thousand copies of the REGISTER
distributed weekly in this locality, think all
the Republican bread and butter would have
to come from the national crib, and not the
State and county.
This is thriving little city; has good
schools for colored and white children (pre-
vious condition not mentioned), good hotels,
good fishing, and good-looking women. The
best of all are the courts. There Is good
Court House, and in it are held the Mayors
Court, the County Court, the Probate Court
and the Circuit Court. And good citizens
tell me that there is hardly day in the year
that the Court House is not occupied with
some one Of the courts, and some days all
four are in session.
1 have good case to give you an account
of in my next to show you how the criminal
courts are run in this place. Space forbids
me giving you it this time.

the matter, i'm the end, to their own
discretion. It assumes that some
will choose to do what ought not to be
done, aud so places before them a PEN
atty sufficient to secure an enforced
obedience. In the absence of internal
motives to do right. the law holds
forth an artificial one in the form OF a
penalty attached to prescribed rules.
As last resort, therefore, force is JUS
tifiable. Now force, wien actually
brought to bear Oh an offender, resolves
itself into some bodily affection. There
IL usually some restraint put on some
Of the bodily activities, or, proceeding
to extremities, there il an infiiction Of
bodily pain. This last constitutes cor
p0ral punishment as generally under
stood. One of the great objects of put
lie school training is to inculcate
obedience and respect for authority;
and to this end, when obedience is not
rendered otherwise, teachers may re-
sort to the extreme measure of inf1ict-
ing bodily pain.
ORDER IN THE BUILDING AND ON THE
GROUNDS.
The general appearance of school
while pupils are entering or leaving Il
house Is q very fair indicat ton of the
managing ability of the teacher in
charge. If the stairways or halls are
broad and straight, there need be no
difficulty in maintaining good order;
fnr then the teacher can secure q
strict oversight of the same. have
found the following rules to contribute
largely to the maintenance of good orr
der In passing to and from the rooms:
I. Definite times of dismission should
be arranged so that the several schools
may not interfere with one another
while going out.
IL. Preparatory to passing out, pupils
should be arranged in single file in the
room, and at given signal the column
should move; the boys first and the
girls second.
III. Pupils should invariably walk
while moving through the halls, and
all talking and whispering should be
avoided.
w. When pupils pass from the build
Ing, they should leave the premises at
once; they should not be allowed to
wait on the steps or at the gates.
". When pupils enter the building
they should follow the same route as in
going out, and should proceed directly
to their seats.

A Horrible Pantomime,

In theDavidson county inil is confined
man on the charge OF murder who is
given to somnambulisllc habits, When
the bells OF the city usher in midnight
the prisoner arises from his couch in
stoalthy and noiseless manner, creeps
out to the door of the cell, aud scrutin-
lies the hall, or as much of Il as can be
seen through the door, and also every
corner OF his narrow apartment as II in
tent upon satisfying himself that no one
is in the vicinity, He then proceeds to
take cotton shirt and fills the body of
it with the covering OF the bed, also
stufiing the arms full He places this
in one corner on chair and puts upon
the top of it hat Having arranged
this to suit him, the somnambulist with
noiSeless tread walks over to the place
where broom is kept and graspingi it as
If il were gun, and creeps with cat
like tread walks over to the place where
a broom is kept and grasps it as it were
a gun, and creeps with n cat-like tread
upon the figure in the chair. The ma
neuver consumes considerable time, the
sleeper" apparently acting asif he was
engaged in picking his way through
brush.
Having arrived at point from which
a good view can be commanded, he
coolly and deliberately raises the broom
in right angles to his shoulder. After
taking long aim he goes through the
same motion that one would in firing a
gun, He then approaches the chair,
picks up the dummy" and carries it
to the remote corner Of the cell. He
then goes down on all fours and goes
through the motion of digging with his
hands Having dug until the hole is
large enough, he places the stuffed shirt
in it and carefully covers it up, stamp
inc TIE floor of the cell as if he was
pressing down uneven ground He
then scatters over it an armful of leaves,
which he goes through the process Of
gathering from the different portions of
his cell.
The work concluded to his satisfac-
ton, the sleepwalker conceals the broom
under his bed, as il hiding a gun. He
then washes his hands, examines his
clothes carefully, as if to see if there
was any blood upon them, and resorts
again to his couch to sleep quietly until
morning The prisoner when informed
OF this strange freak in his waking mo-
ments, denies all knowledge of the oc.
