Judge Thomas, though a Republican, fireouently gives utterance to reasonable and conscrva-j ! Ugc views. Wc make the following ex trult front hits speech on the negro soldier I bill: ' ■ I "Mr. Speaker, let mo now turn to an other feature of thi.t bill, the term of en-: iisdment. It provi h?s for tlte enlistment! of men for a jtefidd of five years. Why five jcars? I ihiui; there i.t more riguifi canoe in chat word "live" in this bill than instil other too.'us written in it. Its pos sible objects arc not widen. JDo you mean to say to (he country that if is your expec tation, your reasonableespecra-tion, and tlie basis on which you propose to make enlist ments for your army, that this war is to j continue tor a period of five years longer? Do you mean to cay to the country that on ■ the vast scale on which the war is now pros ecuted, and at the expense, treasure and loss of life at which it is prosecuted, you expect to carry it on for five years more? If such be your expectation, if is just, and manly to say so. It such be cot your ex pectation, pray add nothing t'o lite anxiety of the people.. 111'. [Speaker, if the object of this war is restoration, that involves a state of tilings, present or futifrc, which will soon be devel | oped, and felt. A war for restoration pro ceeds upon the grounds that you will find in the rebel States, as your army advances and protection i 3 made possible, men who are ready to rally again under the blessed flag of the Union and to return to their nl j legianee to the National Government. If J that feeling exists and is developed, cevtain ! ly it will be developed before the lapse of • five years; ne\ , indeed, by this instru l mentality, never. Hut if the object of this j war is not restoration; if the purpose and I object of this war are—as is aouactimos de j elated in the heated and brilliant rhetoric of t gentlemen on your left—subjugation, exier t ininatlon, the reeolonizafion. of the whole i rebel- territory, then your term of onlist , mcntfis altogether too short—altogether too j short. 1 If, Mr. Speaker, the object Toe extcrmi iHi'ion, there : a r of tttcsa. sapg's, , snntelieu from hit mother's arr et or cradle, I who will live to see io the end. Von hive j ben waging the war two years, and vet j the number of inhabitants in the rebel j Sates to-day is larger than i ; was when the | war begun. .You cannot, probably, if you j would, and you would not if you could, car ; ry on a vrar with a fierceness and severity that would destroy life as fast as it germin ates. Men, in war, even, will marry and women be given in marriage, children will be born to them, and their mothers will hold them to their flowing breasts as the storm sweeps by. The angel of 'life will triumph over the angel of death. Such is i the blessed economy of Go:l. The exter mination of eight millions of people, with the use of all our power and all our resour ces, is a moral and physical impossibility. Of this war, if it is carried on for extermi nation, neither you nor I, Mr. Speaker, may hope to sec its close but in one way, to us the way of deepest humiliation, the inter vention of other nations, to stay its ravages. Who talks of a war of extermination is sim ply mad." THE CONSCRIPTION BILL. This bill has passed the House of Rep resentatives, and is now only awaiting the concurrence of the Senate on some amend ments before it shall become the law of the land. It places the whole militia of the country tinder the supreme control of the President without reference to the authori ty of the Governors of the States. It now remains to be seen whether the , people will submit to a law made by a Con- ' gress that represents a minority of the pop- j illation, and that is unconstitutional in many j of its provisions. For our own part, we do 1 not believe that it will be obeyed in the ma- I jority of the Northern States. On the con trary, we regard it as a most impolitic mens- j tire, and likely to create the most wide- j spread disaffection towards the Adininistra- , tion. It is a well known fact that the draft was resisted in several parts of the couirrv, 1 and that the officials of the Government were, not able to carry it into execution.— How, then, can such a sweeping conscrip- 1 tion law be forced upon the people when such strong evidence exists of dissatisfac- 1 tion with the ruinous policy pursued by the Administration. If th'c President's prticla lamation has not succeeded in bringing out those nine hundred thousand men who were to Jinvc responded to its cull, there is cer tainly little hope, that the. conscription law will put a netv army into the. field. Can'it be possible that the wise Solans of Con ' gross believed that-such a bill could.be put in operation? Sonic shrewd people insist, that they were convinced it could not. Who arc right?

ATTENDANCE. —Irregular attendance has the most serious effect on our schools of any thing that I can mention. So long as this evil is not remedied, our schools cannot reap the full bene fit of (he common school system. DISTIUCT INSTITUTES.—No material improve inanl wtts noticed in tlie schools resulting from tlio District Institute. This is owing to some teachers feeling indifferent to this most impor tant auxiliary of the common schools. Ilopes arc entertained, that, during another winter, thn teachers will realize the important results to..he. obtained trout the institute, and cheerfully patronize it, by developing the most improved theory of teaching, and in practicing the same in their respective schools. VISITATIONS. —My visitations have been 'nnde , according to the resolutions passed by the Board; and short addresses were frequently made to the pupils, nnd instructions and encouragement im parted to both teachers and pupils, when 1 thought necessary. • In accordance with tho request of this asso ciation, I present to you the above report sug gesting that it is very desirable that the Board pass resolutions requiring pupils to get written excuses f'rotn their parents for tardiness, and ; absence from school. I would also suggest that | parents might do much to improve the public { schools by frequently visiting them, and thus 1 stimulate and encourage both teacher and pu ' pils. The corps of teachers of this district wits ' well selected, and I truly regret that the term of school is so short, and the parting so soon, j I hope the hoard may offer a good inducement '• to qualified teachers that we may secure their service in this district another winter.

Stonewall Jackson was horn very early in life —in fact, so young was ho at that interesting period of his history, that the date thereof ltirk cth not in la's own memory, nor yet in that of his present biographer. Sufficient bo it to say, lie was barn. The ancestry of S. J. has hith erto been shrouded in doubt. Some have as serted that he is denccuded from Jack, surnatn ed the Giant Killer, und that the "seven-leagued boots" of the aforesaid J. the G. K. arc yet in his possession, which accounts for the celerity of his movements. Others declare him to he an off-fhoot of the Jacobin family, the founder of which Was Jacknloo, the Chinese Pirate: but they are all wrong. Stonewall Jackson is de scended in a curved lino from the Wandering Jew. In early time the Jew family was rich, but. one evil day '.lie head of it wont down into Egypt, "bitckod" against Pharaoh, nnd earne hack with narv shekel, having lost them all in that interesting game. From that time till the discovery of the Mississippi river, the family was too poor to have a name. Stonewall's grandfather ran a flat-boat on the aforesaid riv er, and was extravagantly fond of the classic game of "old sledge." He married, and in the course of time had four sons, whom lie named — j High, Low, Jack. Jack followed tlie example I of his father, married, and had one son. the suli jo.ct of this'sketch, who was naturally called Jack's son, and in the course of time, Jackson. A family trait lurks in Stonewall, for at any crit ical stage of the game lie is suro to "turn up" aud become the trump. VOLUME ir. CHAPTER FIRST. Young Jackson in his youth, gave great prom ise of future usefulness, so much so that when lie was SOT tt to school lie invariably ran away to play "tag" and "leap frog," to the constant study of which he owes his agility. Ono day Jackson's perc, learning of his son's truancy, j determined 'to chastise it out of him, ami upon a favorable opportunity, collared the incipient hero nnd ltcnt. him over his knee, thus throwing a prominent part of the youth into bold relief. Mrs. Jackson (the mother) then seized a shirt board with both hands, and proceeded lo bring the yotingsicr to a sense of bis dirty by diverse ponderous blows. . Young Jackson squirmed like a fish worm; but, with that Ijpnvtan firm ness thitkhns ever distinguished him, shed not n t.-a/ At ahout the fortieth blow the old lady paused, while the old gent eased on his hold, and inquire*!, "My son, wilt thou go to scltool 1 WneCsE NUMBER, 3017 in future?" The young hero raised his head, wiped his sleeve across his nose, and looking tip into his father's lane, sail; '-I snv old gentle man, why am 1 .uo a cabin passenger on a ca nal beat.'" "My son, I know not," sagely ob served Jackson,- senior. "Wny," ; ,ti i the young incorrigible, witlt a knowing wink, "it's because lam boanlc l cuter.i." 'J'he poor outraged fath er could only ejaculate, "boar I him again, old la !y, hoard him again." "Not I," said the mother, dropping the shirt board, •'you might as well hut'op a .rfone- xall."

Stonewall went to West i'oirit. Many interesting events oeeurreil during iiis pupilage there, but—follow ing the example of the -New York morning dai lies—! condense: Stonewall .Jackson parsed a critical examina tion, and graduated number two (Trout the foot) of his ciass and the rebellion having just com menced, was immediately appointed a brigadier General by tile Southern (.'onl'ederaey—ti.e I,'.

According to the New York morning dailies, Jackson Pilfered terribly ill person in these bat tles. lie lost his right leg at Hanover Court house, and his left at Gainesville. The next day, while leading iiis corps into battle at .Sav age's Station, his horse baulked in front of a barrel of beans, which hod been abandoned by j our army, and WHS compelled to dismount and go it 011 loot, in doing which ho lost his right arm. The succeeding day lie lost his left arm at Death Orchard. Two days after, at the battle of Malvern Hill, he stooped down to fasten his shoe, and, while in that position, iiis head was blown oil by a 103,000 pound shell. This was the unkimlest I cut of all; but the old veteran merely raised his martial form erect, and said: "My bleeding I country! 1 cheerfully make the sacrilicc. Old ; head, farewell!" These arc but a lew of the ! wounds the old man bus received—according to ( the New York morning dailies. Even as 1 write, I the report comes that this modern Urioereus has j lost another arm at Antietam. j Stonewall Jackson, in personal appearance, j is most unlovely—and it is said that lie—like the—Ashmitces—files his teeth to a sharp point I every other morning. Ho stands eleven feet I five inches (or live feet eleven inches, I um not I certain which) in his hoots—when lie lias got any. liis hair is black, and was furnished to order by Bachelor, of New York. CHAPTER THIRD. In religion ho is at times a devout catholic— at least he followed closely in the footsteps of the Dope during one of his campaigns—anil at. others he is colporteur for the American Track Society—at any rate ho lias probably left more tracks in Virginia than any other white man; and, according to the New York morning dai ' lies, always goes into battle with a family Bible under one arm and n Greek Testament in the ! coat tail pocket, whi'-h ho reads during the in- I tcrvnls of the fighting: He is abstemious in his habits, having been known to live nine days off of one sardine and a barrel of whiskey. In dross he is extremely neat, never wearing a shirt longer than tlirca months without changing it. To sum tip, Stonewall, in private lifo, is—.is Shakespeare says—"ft man as is a man, ttiajt wo may never look upon bin fiko again."

I cull upon tlx) small portion of the clergy,' which has lent itself to these wild and ruinous schemes, not to fonrct the holy natnre of the divine mission of the Fonnder of our religion, and to profit by Ins peaceful examples. L entreat that portion of my country-women who have given their countenance to abolition to remember tlnit they are ever most loved and honored when moving in their own appropri ate and delightful sphere; and to reflect t tlmt the ink flmt they shed in subscribing with their fair hands abolition petitions may prove but the prelude to the shedding of the blood of their brethren. I adjure all the itilwtbitante of tho free .States to-rebuke and their example, measures which must imwitnbfr lead to tho most calairntoiiseonsoquonccs.
