1t Is noted fact that those who contin-
ue long in the business of teaching are
prone to become dogmatc and headstrong.
lhls is apt to follow as the inevitable result
OF having, for considerable time, every wish
needed and every command obeyed and
nowhere is a teacher more likely to mani
test these traits than in the scheol-rcon,
There is great danger that he will SC far
forget the dictates of true courtesy, as by
his example to teach practical rudeness, in
stead of kindness and goodwill The
wise teacher will carefully avoid every ap-
proach to an overbearing manner, both in
the school-room and out of it. If he ha.
bitualiy assume an unbecoming, naughty
and dictatorill air, his pupils will not fail
to notice it, and, as q consequence, respect
him as little as he deserves, and when he
has no longer their hearty respect, his influ-
ence for good is in great measure gone.


The habit of frequently recalling to mind
his schoolboy feelings anG experiences, is
of incalculabie value to the teacher, as it
will enable him to adapt himself more fully
to the wants and peculiarities of those
whom it is his business to instruct. He
can without much effort recall those of his
early teachers whom he respected and un-
der whose direction he loved to learn and
with the retrospection would doubtless come
the consciousness, that those teachers were
loved because they uniformly evinced
thoughtful regard for the comfort, happi-
ness and real welfare of their pupils He
who would be successful teacher of youth
cannot afford to lose the advantages to be
gained by good manners; by mild, patient
and considerate demeanor; in short, by
making each pupil his personal friend.

rA- Amos Kendall is known all over the
continent as one of the leading minds of
the old Democratic party. He writes an
article in the National Intelhgencer of
Monday, and the following paragraph taken
from it suggests volumes:


The cause or Causes of the rebellion
may be summed up in the single phrase,
Pride Of Wealth and Last for P01cer.-
These are not peculiar to the South, but
have their influence in the North as we'll
North and South they pervade, with homo
| rablc exceptions, those classes of society
| which find means to live and to enrich
themselves without manual labor. North
as well as South the feelings of these clas-
ses revolt against Government controlled
by the tciling millions, and would overthrow
1t if they could In the North the attempt
would be hopeless, and the aristocratic clas-
ses quietly acquiesce in things as they are.
In the cotton region Of the South the la
borers have no political rights, and the ar
lstocratic classes govern in all that relates
to local affairs. But they are not content
with that Their pride revolts at associa-
ton in any Government, however mild and
benefcent, in which laboring men partici-
pate, directly or indirectly To get rid of
such Government, though it has been
the chief source of all their prosperity, is
the object of the present rebellion. The
avowed design of the South Carolina lead
ers is the organization of community COM
posed of gentlemen and laborers, in which
the gentlemen shall be masters, and the la
borers their slaves. To this end they were
before the rebellion broke out, avowedly in
favor Of reopening the African slave trade,
and have since submitted with bad grace
to restriction in their Confederate Consti-
tuition, dictated by an apprehension that it
would not be safe at present so far to out
rage the feelings of the civilized world

There is no help for being sensitive, but
it ought to teach a person tenderness to-
wards others. 1t does not, however A
great many people who pride themselves
upon their frankness, and always speak
their mind are the very last ones who will
hear the same things from anybody else
They never are untrue to their convictions
not they. They mean to be faithful, and
do their duty, and SO they are always far
ing your faults in the most offensive man
ner But go to one of these people-say
to him, Mr.. Hetchell, feel it my duty to
tell you that your temper is not the sweet
est, that your children behave bad at school,
that they lie, pinch, play truaht, and are
dirty into the bargain"-and 10! you have
disturbed a whole wasp's nest of evil pas
sions, and probably your family and the
Hetchels will be put in non-intercourse all
the rest of your life. Speaking ones mind
with these people, means their privilege Of
sticking needles into every ones feelings
they choose, whereas sll the ncighberhood
must be sweet as summer towards them.

n9-The thought Of loosing this conscious
life, of having this bright flame go out,
and existence buried down deep in the
grave of endless night is appalling. The
mere possibility Of annihilation, to sensi-
tive spirit, to heart gushing with affec-
tion, to mind filled with pure desires and
noble aspirations, is horrible. Even with
the revealed promise of life to come, We
shrink from the hazards of the grave. We
fear to close our eyes in death, lest they
may never open again. We fear to cast of
the last rope that holds as to the shore of
time, lest some unknown storm may engulf
us in the ocean Of annihilation

EG Quite brilliant affair occurred
day before yesterday, which has not yet
found its way into the newspapers
Capt Bailey, of the twenty-seventh Ken
tucky volunteers, who, with three of his
men, was absent from his regiment on
detached duty, happened in Bardstown
just after Morgan and his marauders had
burned the wagon train in that vicinity.
Thinking it possible he might save some
of the Government property, Captain B.
and his men rode on TO where the wagons
had been burned. Having secured a
number Of tee mules that the rebels had
left by driving them into an enclosure,
he saw party of rebel cavalry coming
up the road, and, before the Captain knew
how many there were, he told his three
men they would have to, give them the
best fight they could, to which they readi-
ly consented, and, drawing their pistols,
dashed at them and demanded their sur
render The rebels, considering discre-
ton the better part of valor, threw up
their hands, suffered themselves to be
disarmed, and marched off to this city,
where the Captain delivered them up to
the proper authorities The result of the
skirmish was the capture of four priso-
ners, with their arms, and four horses.

"Currant, gooscberry, grape, and
ounce cuttings should be made" says the


Ohio Farmer, "after the wood is ripe,
and before the hard frosts, and should be
eight inches long. The cut should begin
opposite the base of bud and end oppo-
site the top. This leaving a bud at tho
bottom is to insure the rapid formation Of
roots. Currants grow so readily as not


to require the cut to be at the bottom Of
a bud. They should be tied in bundles,


with willow bands, and buried out Of


doors, or in moss or in sand or in cool


cellar. In the spring they will be beauti-


fully calIoused, and should be planted as
soon as the frost is out, in rich, sandy soil,


(good garden soil,) ten inches apart, in


rows three and half feet apart. The
object of this width is to mellow the soil
with cultivator and double shovel plow.
To plant. walk on the line, pushing hoe
laid fiat before you to mark; then remove
the line and insert in the mark spade
with is back toward you, about eight
inches dc p and move the handle back
ward and forward then move the spade
along, its own width, and open again;
this will leave an opening about one inch
wide and about six inches deep. Insert
the cuttings, and slant the long ones SO as
never to have the lower end over six
inches deep this will secure warmth to
the end. Then tread along the mark with
foot on each side to fasten the bottoms
firmly then haul in the soil with hoe
even with the top bud. A slight top
dressing of manure is beneficial. For
currants the ground cannot be too rich,
but avoid fresh manures, save for top
dressing. The object in making cuttings
early in the winter is to avoid the severe
frosts and to insure the callousing during
the winter, thus giving an early start and
good growth before the hot
weather. Ounce cuttings should never
be less than eight inches to give room TO
bud them the first year after transplant
ing. Sometimes they are budded the cur.
rent season in rows but the growth Of
the buds IS so doubtful, and as they will
be too thick in rows. and cannot be trans
planted without injury, it is better to
at one year, trim the roots, and
then bud. The Angus ounce should be
used for dwarfng pears"

A recent issue of the 1meracaU Stock
J0urnn contains q most valuable article
on this subject Young horses, the writer
says, if shod at all before four or five
years DID, should have their shoes taken
of and reset as often as once in three or
four weeks. The hoof should be kept
pared at the heel so that the frog may
come to tho ground. This keeps the frog
moist and healthy, and has a tendency to
spread the heel and keep the foot in its
natural shape. The soft and healthy frog
acts as a cushion, and saves the foot from
damage while the animal travels upon
hard roads. 1t also keeps the foot in a
healthy state, and is therefore Of great
Importance to the horse. If the heel is
suffered to grow down, the frog becomes
dry and bony, when it comes in contact
with a stone or other hard substance, the
horse cripples, and subsequently becomes
lame. When the hoof grows down long
at the heel, it becomes dry and contracted,
and the horse stands upon his toes in an
unnatural and straining position. The
frog, however ragged, should not be touch
cd by the shocr's knife To avoid rails


ing the heel so that the foot must come
to the ground in an unnatural position,
the shoe should be of the same thickness
at the toe as at the heel


When the foot is properly pared, the
shoe should be made to fit it SO perfectly
that the outside crust of the hoof will
not have to be cut down to fit the shoe.
The shoe should not be opened at the heel
wider than the hoof as this has tcndcn
cy to crowd in and contract the foot at
this point but if the outside of the shoe
is brought in even with the outside of the
hoof, it has the opposite effect. The hoof
should never be raspcd or filed above the
clinches, nor the natural enamel, which is
given to it for some wise purpose, disturb
ed. Fancy shoers-from all of whom
good Lord deliver us-are too much in
the practice of rasping, filing and sand
papering the hoof to make it look nice,
without ever thinking that they are doing
it an injury that is beyond their power to
repair.

EDITORS STATESMAN Having been absent
for few days on a hunting excursion, have
very little to send you of what might be called
news. As far as can learn, everything goes on
here m the same old hum-drum style, and dull
ness rules the hour.


Miners come dropping in occasionally, expect
ing to winter somewhere in this vicinity, and con-
tent tor the present, 10 abandon the search for
fabulous regions where gold is said to be found
by the shoyelhll, and settle themselves down to
the more sensible conclusion of fair days wages
for a fair days work.


hear incidentally that party of emigrants
having several white American women in their
train. have for some time been expected here,
with the intention of settling It is to be regret
ted that so very few of that class have been in
duced to settle in this part of the country. Ger
tainly there is no lack of opportunity for them to
make themselves homes, in beautiful and heal
thy locality too.


Since l came to this place have become some

several years in Oregon, and who, when first
knew him, was troubled with certain web-like ex-

No. eights, whereas formerly he wore No elevens.
In gratitude for this little service, my Oregon
acquaintance has given me his friendship and con-
fidence. So that was not surprised, when on
reading your article on The Oregon Senate
rial election, he went 10 his desk, and took
therelrom the song which enclose, and which he
said your article reminded him Of Doubtless
you remember the notorious Los'-Valley-S Straight
Out-RepubIcan letter Of the great commentator
on Roman History, the musical Governor of Or
egon, John Whiteaker. Well The song as you
will see refers to that matter. 1t is somewhat
stale, but as has never been published, thought
it might interest some of your readers, especially
those who reside in that humid region west of The
Cascades where skfs are plentiful and gum
boots are appreciated:

They are getting up meetings in the North
cities for the purpose of drumming up re-
cruits to Lincoln's army. At these meetings
the most bitter and relentless hatred to the
South is avowed. determination, devastation,
coLfsca,ior, abolition, servle war, anything or
everything that can injure the Southern peopls
is openly avowed aud gloried in. The cant of
restoring the Unon is about played out, The
Union feeling of which so much has been said
is found not to exist The war is no longer ev
en- pretended to oe against the Confederate reb
el government. 1t is against the people, who
are admitted to be unanimously hostile to any
reconnection with the North.


One Col Simon II. Mix made speech at
war meeting in New York, in which he said he
was just from New bern and had brought with
him soldiers OF his regiment wounded by the
people of the country who were farmers in the
day time ard bandits at night-that is,at night
they shot Federal pckets and way laid Fede-
raj parties. He said the yankees got their in

The ensuing extract is from the Albany Erea-
ing Journal, the accredited organ of William Ii.
Seward, edited by his fast friend Mr. Thurlow
Weed 1t is fact which Democratic Journals
have often set forth, and have as often been as
sailed for so doing by Republican newspapers
all over the country. If Thurlow Weed IS a
secesson.st and traitor for speaking as he
does, so be it; he isno doubt able to take care
of his own head. But listen to what he says:


s'The Chief Architects of Rebellion, before it
broke out, avowed that they were aided in their
internal designs by the ultra Aboitionists of the
North. This is too true, for without such aid
the South could never have been united against
the Union But for the incendiary recommen-
dations which rendered the otherwise useful
Helper book a fire brand, North Carolina could
never have been forced out of the Union And
even now, the ultra Abolition press and speech
makers are aggravating horrors they helped to
create, and thus, by playing into the hands of
the leaders of the Rebellion, are keeping down
the Union men of the South, aud rendering re-
union difficult, if not impossible"
