A SENSIBLE SPEECH.
Wo arc g!:j:l that Masr-achnrtctta lias one
man of common Bendc in Gougrcsrf. 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? Time, and the people only can

TKACIIF.KS. —Tito teacher is the. mainspring
of the r.chool. If tiici cc a want of Theory :
I nnd Practice in teaching till the other qualifica
tions of the teacher are nothing to tin;school,
i He must know ltow to govern and how to ia-
Struot. The teachers ltnvo given satisfaction"
; with few exception, some have to give
t l full Eatisfaciion for wunl of good pivernment
, and siilli.'ient energy; and others have tidied from
no fault of their ,own, hut simply heciutse lbnd
'. and doting .parents have taken the part of ftub

uniformity of books is clas-itlcation. J'tihre is :

A change of Headers is very desirable at. pros- j
' cut. The grefitgst want of properUar-tfioiitioti

! which tho Bible was read—throe. This" state
ment is made with feelings of regret, and 1 am
sorry that so little attention is paid to moral in
struction in tho school room.
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.

CHAPTER SECOND.
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."
L'HAlTiilt SECOND.
From tin; day of the circumstance just rcla
ted, t!m hero Im.) gone by the mime of Stone
wall Jackson. "Jtut, mother," :;niil the father,
as the released jontl; 6ke,l.iJiiled out of the room
to Hnish his game of tag, "what shall we do
with the boy r "Do ? tvhv send him to West
Dint, he ain't good fornothin' else." 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)

! ing part in the battles in front of that "doom
ed" (see all the papers) city.
CHAPTER SECOND.
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." In
hi military capacity he is, to ffhotb SherWa*

EXTRACT
From a Speech of Henry Clay,
In the L. S. Senate Feb. 7, 1 <'l3 \ 011 flu Heception
of Abolition Petiikr.is,
S;n: I nm in the habit of speaking lijrbtly of
(he possibility of dissolving this unhappy Union.
The Semite knows that I have depreciated all il
lusions, on culinary occasions, to that direfgl
event. The country will testify that, if there
he any thing in tlife history of my public car
leer worthy of recollection, it in the truth and
ciricerity Of my i dent devotion to its lusting
preservation. JJut wo should be false in our al
legiance to it, if we di 1 not discriminate be
tween the imaginary and real dangers by which it-
May he assailed. Abolition should no longer
Ire regarded as an imaginary danger. The ab
olitionists, let ine suppose, succeed in their pres
ent aim of uniting the inhabitants of the free
States as one man, against the inhabitants' of
the slave States.—Union 011 one side tvili beget
union on the other. And this process of recip
rocal consolidation will lie attended with all the
violent prejudices, embittgml passion*, apd iofc
placablH animosities whiqh -evqr degraded or do*
formed hunj-.p; nature. A virtual dissolution
will have taken place, while the forms of its
existence remain. The most valuable clement
of union, miltual kindness, the feelings of sym
pathy, the fraternal bunds, which now Liqpily
j unite us, will have been extinguished fagevur.
i One section will stand in marching and hostile
| array against the other. 'The collision of opin
| i n will he qulefly followed by tiiaeUtstuef nnae.
j 1 will - not attempt to describe scenes which
> -now happily lie concealed from our view. A If
j oiiiioiu.it;: themselves would shrink hack in dis
may and horror at the contemplation or d:'S(£
1 luted fields, e r.iflngratad cities, murdered inbab
, hunts, and the overthrow of tile fairest fubrfe
; of human govtrrimant dv.-J ever ros< to muinnte
! tiie hopes ot civilized man. Nor should
I abolitionists flatter themselves that, if they can
I sugot-e lin their object of uniting the peapdfi °f
1 the free States, they will ebtcr the contest with
; numerical superiority that must ensure victory!
1 All history and experience proves the uncer
tainty of war. And we by. holy

1 practical, I desire to see every portion of the
. ri'Jshsin family in the enjoyment of it.—flat I
jprtf r tl: liberty of nijr own race to tlmt'df m-
Iny other nice. The liberty of toe
|of Africa in the Enited States is incompatible
with the safety and. liberty of t)ie European
I decen(hints. Their slavery forms an exception
| —an exception resulting from a stern and inf
j exorab'.o necessity—to tbo general liberty of the
i Uoitedl States. We did not originate, nor are
; wo responsible for, this necessity. Their
I ty if it were possible, could only Tie established
| by violating the iucouteslttblo powers of tint
. .States, and subverting the Union, would ha.bu-
I ricd, sooner or later, the liberty of both races.
iiut if one dark spot exists 011 our politkslT
! horrizon, is it not obscured by the Bright and
effulgent and cheering light that beams all a
i round us? Was ever a people before ao blessed
as we are, if true to our selves? Did ever any
; oilier nation contain within its bosom so many
! elements of prosperity of greatness and of glo
ry I Our only real danger lies ahead, conspicu
ous, elevated and visible. It was clearly dis
cerned at the commencement, nnd distinctly aeon
through our whole career. .Shall wo wantonly
run upon it, and destroy all the .glorious nhlict
i pat ions of the high destiny that awaits us?T
j beseech the abolitionists themselves, solemnly
to pause in their mad and fatal course. Amid
the infinite variety of objects of humanity and
benevolence which invite tlw employment of
their energies, let them select one more harmless
that does not threaten to deluge our country yi
blood. 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. Apd
lot us all .is country men, as friends and as broth
er, cherish in unfading memory tho motto
which bore our ancestors triumphantly through
all the trials of tho revolution, and, if adhered
to, it will conduct their posterity through all
that may, in tho dispeusationsoC -Providence W
