HDITED BY SIMON SYNTAX, ESQ (jyTeaeheri and friendg of education are respect fully requested to send communication:; to the above care of "Utdfoid Gazette." , MANNEFS IN THECOMMON SCHOOLS. As everything which tends to the improvement of Common Schools is now considered of some importance, I thought it would not be amiss to allude to a desirable change which might and could be so ooiily introduced and eatablislred in our schools; as a fixed feature in tho already extonded programme of our system of educa tion. Each year the Teachers and Directors, in common with others, who are deeply inter ested in the school cause, soe very plainly that the system is far from perfect; and that tlicro is plenty of room for changes, or innovations, as some might be pleased to term them. (Strict attention to the manners and deportment of tho ( children, during school hours, should be insist-1 od on, and, in fact, I see no reason why proper deportment should not be included among the list of branches to be taught, as well as any other study now called for. If proof can be brought to show that attention to manners is unnecessary and superficial, let us at once dis miss the subject, without further comment; but if, on the contrary, good reasons can be shown why manners should be taught, we may then as well diseiiss the matter, even if, by tho discussion, we should gain hut few converts to our opinion. In all schools, either of a private or public char acter, but especially in the latter, where such a large number of pupils is entrusted to the care I of one individual, great care has to bo taken in order to secure any thing like quiet for the reci tations; and often the most strict discipline fails to secure the order so much to be desired. And why T Because the children go thore with the firm conviction, that it is only their minds which are to be attended to and not their manners, and therefore they are only awed into submis sion by the strong will and mental superiority of their teachers; and arc ready to break back from tho imposed restraint, upon the slightest relaxation of discipline. But, let us ask, how would it be if those children went there with the full knowledgo that their manners were to be attended to, us well as their minds, and that a lack of improvement, in that respect, would not only be considered derogatory, but made the basis of sufficient grounds upon which they should be excluded from the advantages of a liberal education in any of tho free schools. I | think, so far as my limited experience will per mit ine to judge, that if the latter idea wusiully impressed upon their minds on first entering the school, much good might be accomplished, and many unpleasant occurrences avoided, which will naturally take place in schools, where such n diversity of dispositions are brought in con tact. Manners or proper deportment, stylo it as you will, should' be commenced in the prima ry department, on tho same footing as any other fundamental branch taught there, and as strict attention paid to their deportment, in that re spect, as any other study taught; all of which should lw thorough, plain, and suitable to their understandings. In that deportment, even the smallest child could be-made to discern, by tho wsdl dictctod exertions of judicium teacher, Freedom of Thought and Opinion. BEDFORD, PA., FRIDAY MORNING, MARCH 13, 1863. the difference between nn obliging, pleasing dis position. and one just tho opposite, and the va rious effects which follow. It does not require a child to be advanced, cither in years or know ledge, to perceive tlrnt if tliny behave rudely and unkindly towards their school companions, and show an inconsiderate, selfish manner, in their intercourse with them; such conduct generally brings its own bitter return. For self ishness begets selfishness, and harshness only leads fo an increase of the same, until each in jury done has been returned and sometimes paid buck tenfold. Since children can see so plainly, nnd feel so keenly, at the early age alluded to, in regard to injuries done them, is it not natu ral to suppose that if their minds were properly directed, they would just as soon be able to dis- i cover a kind act, as an unkind one, and be in- 1 fliienced accordingly 1 In childhood, the heart j is free and open to impressions, either for good or bad, and weighty indeed must be tbe respon sibility of those teachers who undertake to mttkc those first impressions which can never aftcr wardl be eradicated. If good, they are the great which assist us in forming a bright future; if bad, they remain as lasting impuji j incuts to our success in after life. Passing from 1 the primary department, wo will now suggest | that proper deportment be taught in a mote sci | entific manner in the higher grades of schools, ! until such reformation be gained as is now con | sidered most needful. As a help, and one of J the greatest which could possibly be introduced, 1 in order to secure refinement of feeling in pub ! lie schools, is a knowledge of both vocal and instrumental music. No teacher who has ever tried the experi ment of teaching vocal music in a School, can fail to observe the pleased, refined expression of countenance, which generally accompanies the effort of the scholars, to give vent to their voi ces ; even if their tones be inharmonious, to a more practiced eur. Thereby proving most conclusively that ratisio, has a soothing, refi ning influence upon the human heart. Beside J a knowledge of music, would, without doubt. J prove agreeable to all, and to many, Rrcat.bles-j sing, where particular talent was evinced for it. | Every thing which could havo the slightest ten- j dcncy to improve or refine their minds and man-. nirs should be introduced, not even the veriest | trifle ought to be overlooked, if by its introduo- i tion good would ensue. If it be true "that tri- • fles form the principal distinction between the refined and unrefined," why omit anything which if fairly tried, might provo beneficial or useful 1 to the pupils of free schools; since we knov i that through them society, to a great extent, is ! to be indebted for many of the good or evil hab its, which will follow us the natural consequence l of the neglect or care bestowed upon their early education. Having given my humble but sin cere opinion, in regard to the above mentioned changes of the school program, I will close these few rambling remarks by saying that any teacher, who coincides witli my view of the question and wishes to try the experiment, need not wuit for any other consent than that of his own will to begin with. And if, after giving tlie changes spoken of time for fair trial, he finds no particular benefit arising from them, it would then be well to go hack to first, principles. But if, as I am sanguine enough to believe, I he would find benefit accruing from such a trial, let him persevere in the good work until order, refinement, and rapid improvement, form the threo groat characteristics of the department in which he has been employed. UNO. ( The Emancipation Proclamation. The Metropolitan Record , the organ of the Ro man Catholic Church in New York, mukes the iiallowing statement of the effects of the procla im ution, which seems to lie a document entirely ret voactive in its operation : I Vliat the President's Proclamation has done. Jt has divided the North. It has created discunteht among the soldiers of the' Union artuy. It h as raised the promium on gold to over ICO per centf. It lut s strengthened the Southern Confede racy by prov ing to the loyal people of the South that this is a war not for the Union but for emanci pation. It has i ilacod two of the Western States in an attitude of determined hostility to the Ad ministration. It has rendered foreign powers still more un friendly to t he Union. It has falsified the repeated pledges given by the President' that the institution of slavery should not be interfered with, on the ground that he, the President, had no authority in the matter. It has reduced the Constitution to a nullity, by a direct violation of its provisions regarding Blavery. It litis put a premium of 20 per ceut. upon the lowest coin in the country. It has made tho Administration contemptible iu the eye of all sensible men by the very fact that it is inoperative. It has rendered the organization of another army utterly impossi ble, unless the Abolitionists can be iuduoed to fight- It has established the precedent that on the plea of "military exigencies" the supreme law of the land can lie suspended. It has proved the Administration to have been guilty of the most cruel deception in enlisting men to tight for the Union, and in sacrificing them to the emancipation theory. It has rendered useless the immense amount of treasure and the sea? of blood that have flow ed since the war began. It baH proved to tho people that their public servants at Washington are determined to act in defiance of their clearly expressed desires. It has established the fact that tho abolition of slavery is of more consequence in the eyes of "our rulers" than the interests and liberties of the white man. Aqd whilst it has done all Ibis, we defy even its most stratum advocates to prove that* sin- gle benefit to the cause of the Union has result ed from its promulgation. But there is one thing more it has doue, and which should not be omitted. It has so far estranged the people from the Administration as to render nil laws for conscription or draft utterly inoperative, no matter what may be the action of Con gre- "WAFTIS DISUNION." The Great Anti-War Speech of Hon. S. A. Douglas, of Illinois, in the U. S. Senate, on the 15 tit of March, 1861, the last one he delivered in the Halls of Congress, and the last official act of his life. Democrats and the admirers of the glorious Douglas, read. I repeat it, it is time that the line of policy was adopted, nnd that the country know it. In my opinion, we must choose, and that promptly, between one of the three lines of policy: 1. The restoration nnd preservation of the Union by such amendments to the Constitution as will insure the domestic tranquility, safety and equality of all tho States, and thus restore peace, unity, and fraternity to the whole coun try. Or, 2. A peaceful dissolution of the Union by recognizing the independence of such States as refuse to remain in the Union without such constitutional amendments, and the establish ment of a liberal system of commercial and so cial intercourse with them by treaties of com merce aod amity. Or, 3. War, with a view to subjugation and military occupation of those States which have seceded or may secede from the Union. I repeat that, in my opinion, you must adopt and pursue one of these three lines of policy. The sooner you choose between them, and pro claim your choice to tbe country, the better for you, the better for us, the better for every friend of liberty and constitutional government through out the world. In my opinion, the first propo sition is the best, and the last is the worst. . lam in favor of such amendments to the I Constitution as will take the question out of . Congress, and restore pcaoc to the country. — I That may be done by non-intervention —by popular sovereignty, as it is called, or by the Crittenden amendment, making an equitable ; partition of the territory between the two soc , I tions, wiili * self-executing clause prohibiting it i ou the one side and protecting it on the other 11 It may be done in various ways. I prefer such , i fjn amicable settlement to a poaccabb disunion; ( j and I prefer it a thousand times to civil war.! ' If we can adopt such amendments as will be , j satisfactory to Virginia, North Carolina, Ton r | nessce, and the border States, the same plan of ! pacification which wi'l satisfy them will create j j | a Union parly in the Cotton States, which wiil , I soon embrace n large majority of the people in ' | thoeo .States, and bring them Lack of their own , i free will and accord, and thus restore, strcngth j | en and perpetuate the glorious old Union for (| ever. I repeat, whatever guarantees will sat r: isfy Maryland and the border States (the States ; j now in the Union) w ill create a Union party in the seceded States that will bri:vg them l ack by ! the voluntary action of their own people. You can restore and preserve the Union in that mode. ' You can do it in no other tray. War is disunion—a final separation of the \ Union. Ilence, disguise it as you may, every Union man in America most advocate such a mendments to the Constitution as will preserve peaco and restore Union; while every disunion ist, whether secretly or openly plotting ite de struction, is an advocate of accession or of wur, - as the surest means of rendering reunion and i reconstruction impossible. 1 have 100 much rc ■ spect for his intellect to believe, for one mo ' ment, that there is a man fer war who is not a disunionist per sc. Hence, Ido not mean, if I can prevent it, that the enemies of the Union — men plotting to destroy it—shall drag this coun i try into war under pretext of protecting the public property, and enforcing the laws, and I collecting the revenue, vtguMi their object is dis union and war, the meftb of accomplishing a ' cherished purpose. 1 The disuuionists, therefore, are divided into ' two classes : the one open, the other secret dis unionist. The ope is in favor of peaceful .<?- i cession and a recognition of independence;, the • other is in favor of tear, as the surest means of accomplishing the object, and of making tlie ■ separation final, eternal. lam a Union man, and hence against the war. But we are told, ' and We hear it repeated everywhere, that we • must find out if we have a government. "Have Ijwe a government?" is the question; and we are :! told we must test tlmt question by using the mil itary power to put down all discontented spirits. Sir, this question, "Have we a government?" has been pronounced by every tyrant who has tried to keep his feet on the neck of the people since the world began. When the Barons demanded Magna Charia from King John at Uunnymede, he exclaimed, "Have we a government?" and called for his army to put down the discontented Barons.— When Charles 1. attempted to collect the ship money in violation of the Constitution of Eng land, and in disregard of the rights of the peo ple, lie exclaimed, "Iluve we a government? We cannot treat with rebels; put down the traitors; we must show that we have a govern ment!" When James II was driven from the throne of England for tampering with the libcr : ties of the jieople, he called for his army, and ! exclaimed, "Let- us show that we have a gov j crnmcnt!" When George 111 called upon his j army to put .down the rebellion in America, | Lord North cried justly, "No compromise with i traitors; let us demonstrate that we have a gov ernment." When, in 18-18, the people rose up ' on their tyrants all over Europe, and demanded guarantees for their rights, every cvowned head exclaimed, ."Have we a government?" and ap pealed to the array to vindicate their authority J and to enforce the law. Kir, the history of the world does not fail to [ condemn the folly, weakness, wiriwdness of thai WHOLE NUIBER, 3040 Government which drew its swonl upon its own I people when they demanded guarantees for their [ rights. This cry, that we must have a govern i went, is merely following the examplu of the besotted Bourbon, who never learned anything 1 but misfortune, never forgave an injury, never forgot an affront. Must we demonstrate that ■ wo have got n government, and coerce obedi ence without reference to (he justice or injustice of the complaints? Sir, whenever ten millions of people proclaim to you with one unanimous vote, that they apprehend their rights, and their family nltars are in danger, it becomes a wise government to listen to the appeal, and remove the apprehension. History does not record an example where auy human government has been strong enough to crush ten millions of people into subjection when they believed their rights and liberties were imperiled, without first con verting the government into n despotism, and destroying the last vestige of freedom. Let us take warning from the examples of the past. Wherever a government has refused to listen to the complaints of the people, and at tempted to put down their murmurs by the bay onet, they havo paid the penalty. Of all those who listened to the people in 18+8, and granted charters of liberty, and took the oath to support them, only one has been faithful, ami he has been rewarded for his fidelity; the others will pay the penalty of their pcifidty. The King ot Sardinia granted a constitution, took an oath to support it, and to-day he is King of Italy. If George 111 had listened to the murmurs of our fathers, and granted their just demands, the war of the revolution would have been averted, and the blood thai was spilled would have been saved. If we consider '.his question calmly, and make such amendment:* as will convince the people of' the Southern States that they are safe and secure in their family relations with the Union, we can restore and preserve it. If we cannot satisfy the people of the border States that they may remain in the Union with safety, dissolution is inevitable. Then the simple question comes back, what shall ho the policy of the Union men of this country? Shall it be peace or shall it be wart What iuan in all America, with a heart in his bosom, who knows tbo facts connected with Fort Sumter, can hesitate in saying that duty, honor, patriotism, humanity, require tlmt Anderson and his gallant band should be instant ly withdrawn? Sir, lam not afraid to say so. 1 would scorn to take a party advantage to man ufacture partizuu capital out of patriotism- Peace is the only policy that can save the country. Let peace be proclaimed as the poli cy, and you will find that a thrill of joy will an imate the heart of every patriot in the laud; confidence will be restored; business will ha re vived; joy will gladden every heart; bonfires will hlazo upou the hill-tops and in the valleys, and the church bells will proclaim the glad ti dings in every city, town and village in Ameri ca, and the applause of a grateful people will greet you everywhere. Proclaim the policy of war, and there will be gloom, and sadness, and despair pictured upon the face of every patriot in the land. A war of kliulred, family and friends; father against son, mother against daughter, brulher against brother; to subjugate one-half of this country in obedience to the oth er half; if you do not mean this, if you mean peace, let this be adopted, and give the President the opportunity, through the Secretary of War, to tspeak the word "peace," and thirty million# of people will bless him with their prayers, and her or him with their shouts of joy. BEAUTIES OF THE EMANCIPATION POLICY. We extract the following from the Cairo cor respondence of the Chicago Tunes: Since the first of January the children of Ham are having a hard time of it. They are free, with no one to care for them, nothing to live on, halt clothed and worse fed. God only knows what will become of the poor creatures. „ Col.

Prompt, courteous and business like, he is a good man for the position, livery day negroes are coming into his camp with their littlo bundles, claiming protection and food.

Tribune says of ihe Democratic Senators who opposed this bill, "they seem to think it the part of patriotism to resist every measure devised to carry the country through the terrible struggle forced upon her by the re bellion," nn<l this censure must fall with eqpal force upon Senators Preston, lving, Trumbull of Illinois, and their col leagues. This favorite measure of the Administrafioo and of the Cabinet would not hare elicited the opposition of these Senators (extreme'upon aik <luestioß3 of party) if it had vot been liable to most serious objections, on grounds both of ex pediency and constitutionality. I?, addition to those, it is asserted (lint Messrs. Anthony, llowo, Howard, and Lane of Ind, were, up to the last moment, opposed to Mr. Chase's scheme. Their objections were remov-- ed in caucus, where this vital treasure was con sidered, rnther than in the Senate. The bill may be defeated in the House, but, if so, some other nearly as objectionable, and perhaps more so, will bo substituted. How is the money which is thus to be ob tained to be spent f On the Emancipation of Negroes by war or by purchase?
