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. Bussep, Bust Commander, is a true gen
tleman and well liked. 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. Thursday ul'tcrnoou the following actu
al event took place.
J. B. Pillow, brother of the rebel General,
who has a beautiful pluutatiou a tew miles from
Helena, and who was worth a half a million of
dollars previous to the wur, cutue into cauip
through the lines, with one hundred and eigh
ty-three negroes, of both sexes and of all ages.
At the head of his servants, who followed in
I single file, he walked to the Colonel's head
' quarters, where the fuliowiug conversation took
place.
| "Good morning, sir."
"Good morning, sir."
"Where is the commander of the post?"
you, sir."
"Well, Colonel, here is my small change in
the shape of free Americans of Africau descent,
which I deliver over to you. Here is a oorrect
list of their names, ages, sexes and occupations.
Please send them on to the President with my
compliments, and say to him that, if be wishes
anything else under my roof, on my g rounds, or
in my pockets, all he has to do- is to ask and re
ceive."
"Mr. Pillow, I cannot receive the people—l
have no food for them—have nothing for them
to do—have not food enough for our soldiers,
hardly."
"And I ennnot uso them. I had haw to
keep them on, but it has bee* stolen. I had
corn, but it him been gobbled. Now us I have
nothing lnure'r them to eat, and as Mr. Lin
coln has turned his army into- a nigger boavding
house, you will please sott tliese people at your
table."
"But 1 have no such power."
"Then give tlicm work. If you fail to mats

"Nor have I. You will not eee them starve

people. You have surely some use for them.
Nearly all trades are here represented among

"Well. I can't take them."
"My God! what will they live on t Can jo&

"No, I cannot."

"No."
"Well, God only knows what will become

SOME VOTES IN CONGRESS.
In the U. S. Senate, hist week, the Currency
Hill was taken up and passed by the following
vote i
YKAS— Messrs. Anthony, Arnold, Chandler,
Clnrk. Doolittlo, Fesse'iden, Foster, Harlan,
Harding, Harris, Howard, Howe, Lane, (Kan

and Willie. , • ~:j,
The K. Y. 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? The {Senate
immediately passed frem its currency bill, to tbr
bill appropriating several millions to the Eman
cipation of Slaves in Missouri, at the rate of
from 9200 to S3OO a piece. The vote on this
stood:
YEAS— Messrs. Ant'iony, Arnold, Chandler,
Clark, Colhuner, Doolittlc, Fool, FoMr f H|'

Lane, of Kansas, Morrill, Pomeroy, Jsunjnur,
Trumbull, Wade, Wilkinson, Wilinot, Wilson

son of Mo. ft.
ABSKNT— Messrs. Bayard, Dixon, Rale (tiuk)
Rice, Shormna, Willey and liidu.—.7.
Mr. Hieks, of Md., stated thai he had poind
oil with Mr. Willey. He would have voted ia
the athrmutive.
Mr. Richardson, of 111., stated that If Mr,
Rice had been present he would haVe voted 0-
gaiost the bill.
The number of Republican* who oppose this
moasuro, which is fraudulently designated .as a
War Measure, is significant.
In the course of the Senatorial debates, which
were devoted wholly to the cause of the Klgny
it was incidentally said by Senator Wilson, that
our Army of the Potomac had three hundred
regiments and only one hundred thousand men.
Gen. Hotecrans, at the battle of MurfrsMboro\
had one hundred and forty regiments and but
forty-five thousand men!
But what matter of that T Or what mutter
if fifty thousand troops are to he disbanded in
May and Juuet Negroes will oupply their pla
ces. "..it
We want money for negroes, and negroes fig
money; and these two ideas absorb all the thola
of Congress.—A. Y. Argiu.
