TAKE OFF IHYW()KI),M'CLELI.AN.
Take off thy sword. Mc-Clellan,
Take off thy coat of blue;
Strip quickly from thy shoulders
't hose starry badges two;
You are no more a soldier.
You've changed your base again;
On Peace's platform standing
The garb of war is vain.
When first we met. Mc-Clellan,
You led a hero band;
A grand devoted army
Was then at thy command.
The finest on the planet.
It longed to meet the foe;
It needed but a leader.
To strike the crushing blow.
And then, how full. McClellan,
You filled a nation's eyes?
Whene'er thy name was mentioned,
We felt our courage rise.
We thought you were a savior
Sent to our*country's aid,
To bring us back the Union,
The same our Fathers made.
Where are they now. McClellan,
Those heroes Tiom you led?
A cry of anguishMhswers,
-• Alas, they're with the dead."
They sleep in peace eternal.
Those true, devoted braves;
The only peace you conquered.
The peace of soldiers' graves '
Alack, alack. McClellan,
Our faith was hard to shake;
We trusted long your promise.
That you would Richmond take,
Till back you staggered leading,
Your hack towards the foe.
With columns torn and bleeding.
And banners drooping low.
But now you hold. McClellan,
Another high command.
Again a force is mustered,
And you lead on the band.
And is that force enlisted
To fight the Union's wars.
And plant on Richmond's hill-tops
The flag of stripes and stars?
*
Alas.alas, McClellan.
A craven erew you lead, !
'• Peace" glitters on their banners
While yet our soldiers bleed.
They basely cry " surrender,"
Ere the Union is restored,
They kiss the feet of traitors.
And throw away the sword.
Have you no shame. McClellan?
Have you forgot the past ?
Have you so long led freemen
To iierd with slaves at last ?
Alas. alas. McClellan,
It seemeth so to be.
When you raise the flag of traitors
And drop that of the free.
Take off thy sword. McClellan,
Take off thy coat of blue,
Strip quickly from thy shoulders
Those starry badges two.
You are no more a soldier.
You've changed your base again,
On Peace's platform standing.
The garb of war is vain.
For the Educational Column, j
School Discipline.
There wai a time, of which some of us
have a very lively recolleetior, when school
discipline was administered almost exclu j
siveiy by an appeal to the rod. To a piece j
of timber of rather slender proportions,!
were attributed the peculiar properties of i
-übduing the vicious, conqueriug the re !
beilious, arouriug the stupid, quieting the i
disorderly, in short, of remedying ail the |
ills the schoolroom is heir to.
So much importance was attached to a
teacher's ability and skill in the use of this
instrument, that he who could wield it in
the most efficient manner was the first to
get a desirable situation as teacher.
in time however, this theory, belonging |
as it did to a darker age than ours, had to I
give way, and another, rejecting the rod j
entirely and having for its basis moral sua- I
sioo, took its place—a theory which, in its
practical workings, showed itself as illy
adapted to the youths of our laud as the
other. However successful a iew teachers
may have been under peculiarly favorable
circumstances, I believe the theory on the i
whole has, in the shape of disrespect for ;
law and authority, of love, indifferent hab
its ol halfway obedience and study,!
wrought an immense amount ot ruischiet—
mischief which will require years of the i
right kind of discipline to remedy. A
few teachers under favorable circumstances
s' cceeded Then the sweeping assertion I
whj- UPide that all, under any circumstances, ;
can Extremists were even hold to say
that " whoever was unable to govern by :
moral suasion, was unfit for the school
room."
Such a heavy tide of popularity accom
panted the introduction of this theory,
that teachers generally, although not a sin
gle Page or Northcnd had sanctioned it,
were unable to stem tin flood Some were
found to mourn over the past, as having
been guilty of an atrocious crime in punish j
ing some dear boy or girl with the rod; I
and DOW. with their moral suasions iin j
proved, they could see clearly how to man
age the innocent creatures Others whose
moral perceptions were not quite so acute,
were unable to discern that they had been !
guilty of any terrible thing. Yet they
wer generally willing to conform, in the
main, to the new irder of things Practi
cally the theory had universal sway
Teachers were driven to it by ar-sort of
moral necessity, something similar to the
pressure which, at the opening ot the re- !
hellion, caused our armies to move "on to :
Richmond" before they were prepared, and
a regular " Bull Run disaster" has been
the consequence. Neither have teachers
been qualified nor their schools in a condi
tion to justify such a move So great was
the popular deui'-nd for this theory, that
teachers were made to feel, and some really
acted, us though going through the school
I term without recourse to the rod was a par
amount duty, lor accomplishing which uo

sacrifice could be too great. Rules might
be throwo overboard, an inconceivable
amount of impudenefe, noise, confusion and
vexation of spirit be put up with, for the
purpose of succeeding in this desirable end
aud having it told to the world that they
can govern by moral suasion!
The tendency of school government at
the present time is in the right direction.
Teachers have learned by experience, and
some at least are making practical use of
their knowledge, that it is more important
to have rules respected, order and harmony
prevail in school, than to gratify the popu
lar taste. Notwithstanding this there are
still too many teachers who fail to take a
decisive stand on the side of true govern
roent, and allow themselves to be imposed
upon in a miserable manner, when a timely
and vigorous application of the timber
would prevent it. It is, however, univer
sally conceded, by teachers at least, that
the rod cannot with safety he dispensed
with in our schools. The only-question
now is, when or under what circumstances
should it he used Tne answer generally
made is, "only in extreme cases," which
if properly interpreted is true. At some
future time, in another article, I will give
my views on the interpretation of these
words. Al.
. iSEEJLMHEOUS,
Bears
Minnesota is at present in a state of ex
citement arising from a rather unusual
cause. It is not stirring news from the
gallant Phil Sheridan, nor the advance of
Grant, nor yet the rebel invasion of the
West, which disturbs their equanimity;
neither is it au onslaught ot indtans upon
their unprotected towns. It is none of
these, and yet it is the inroad of an enemy
no whit less savage, cruel, or remorseless
than the red man, one of the most persis
tent and dangerous of fa sto civilization
ih. American bear, it seems that in large
rinuit>ers these animals have recently in
vaded the settied portions of Minnesota,
rendering travel daiige r <us The Anoka
fc.f.ar says that about sixty-four of the bruin
species have been seen during a week
within an area of one mile irom their pub
lic square. Many have been killed, but in
some of the encounters with the tour footed
foe the slaying biped has not come off un
scatched. Mr. Twitchell, of Anoka, in
company with a friend, attacked a bear
near Sand Creek, and succeeded in shooting
him down. Supposing him to be effectual
ly crippled Mr T. approached with an axe
to despatch him, when the bear sprang
upon his assailan., and striking the axe
from his hand, attempted to seize him by
the breast In stepping back, Mr. T
tripped against a small bush and fell, and
as the bear fell on him, plunged his hand
into the mouth of the beast, and though
terribly bitten, held the infuriated monster
while Mr. Bouker despatched him with
the axe. Mr Twitchell was sbockiugiy
lacerated on his arms and hands, and badly
bitten in his right thigh.
The St. Cloud (Minn.) Democrat says:
'From every street corner the cry is, still

four bears were recently treed and shot in

Arnold's Proclamation—Then and Now-
Benedict Arnold, on the 20th day of
October, 1780, issued the following
Proclamation to the Citizens and Soldiers
of the Lnited States:
" Y 'U are promised liberty by the lead
ers ot youi affairs, but is there an individ
ual in the enjoyment of it, saving your op
pressors? Who among you dare to speak
or write what he thinks against the tyran
ny which has robbed you of your properly,
imprisons your sons, drags you to the field
of battle, aud is daily deluging the country
with hlood?
" our country once was happy, and had
the proffered prare been embraced, the
last two years ol misery had been spent iu
pteace and plenty and repairing the tlesola
tiou of the quarrel, that would have set
the interests of Great Britain aud America
in a true light, and cem nted their friend
ships.
" I wish to lead a chosen band of Amer
icans to the attainment of peace, liberty
and safety , the first objects in taking the
field.
'• What is America but a land of widows,
orphans and beggars? But what need of
argument to such as feel infinitely more
misery than tongue can exnress ? I give
my promise of most affectionate welcome
to all who arc disposed to join me in ineas
ures necessary to close the scenes of our
affliction, which must increase until we are
satisfied with the liberality of the mother
country, which still offers us protection
and exemption from all taxes but such as
we think fit to impose upon ourselves.
BENEDICT ARNOLD "
October 20, 1780.
Ihe traitor here makes eight points
against the Continental Congress aud Wash
ington, the Commander in Chief:
First—That freedom of speech and of
the press has been taken away
Second—That property has been appro
priated.
Third—That illegal imprisonments have
been made.
Fourth—That odious conscriptions have
been imposed
Fifth—That peace, which might have
been had, was refused.
Sixth—That the first objeets in taking
the field have been abandoned.
Seventh—That the country has been de
luged with blood and uiade a laud of wi
dows and orphans.
Eighth —That it is necessary to join him
in order to elose those afflictions and return
to prosperity.
Now take the following quotations —hL
own words—from the speech delivered by
Horatio Seymour at Miiwaukie, a lew days
since How like those of the revolution
ary traitor. Seymour charges against the
Administration that—
First—"The freedom of speech and of
the press is denied us."
Second—" It is your property, the prop
erty of Northern tax payers, which is con
fiscated."
Third—Men have beer torn from their
lamilies and locke. up in prisou, and wo
tnen, too."
Fourth—" Men are told that they must
leave their homes and devote themselves to
war."
Fifth—"The policy of the Administra
tion has placed hindrances in the way of
the Union."
Sixth—"The Administration has enter
ed upon a settled policy dangerous to the
welfare of the country."
Seventh —" In God's name, are there no
means by which we cau save the lives of*
husbands and brothers ?"
Eighth —" We nominated McClellan
that we might restore prosperity and peace
to the people."
Thus are the points made by Horatio
Seymour, as well as copperhead papers and
spouters generally, against the Administra
tion in 1864 identical, point with point,
with those made by Benedict Arnold
against Washington and the Continental
Congress in 1780.
Whoop ng Cough —lt will be seen from
the following communication to the London
Times, that the English have discoverod a
new remedy tor whooping cough 4 ln
confirmation of" the statement on thjs sub
ject made in your impression of this day,
I can add that the practice ot sending chil
dreti to gas works to inhale the gas from
newly opened purifiers has been adopted in
France for two years past. From informs
tion obtained at works, which 1 frequently
visit, I may infer that the cure for whoop
ing cough is perfect. It often occurs
that as many as a dozen children are brought
to the gas works at one time, and tbe man
agers have now come to regard this new
custom as part of the daily routine of busi
ness.

The Old Graveyord. Again
Permit me, Messrs. Editors, through
the columns of your paper, to make
another appeal in behalf of the " Old
Graveyard " The Committee of Ren
ovation, (as some call it.) are in need
of funds, and would respectfully ask if
those who have loved ones resting
there will not come to the rescue, and
also those who are desirous of seeing
the work prosper. I should think all
our enterprising citizens would be glad
to see that sacred spot kept in good
order. The committee have labored
patiently for several years, devoting
much time to get the weeds subdued,
and now, when so near conquering,
must they fail for want of means?
Surely, those at home, and those who
are distant, will gladly give a little
"substantial sympathy." We crave
other sympathy, too, for Ave encounter
many difficulties. It is very trying to
go there and find dead eats, dogs,
chickeus, monkeys, and other unmen
tionable things strewn around, disclos
ing their whereabouts to the olfactory
nerves before the eyes discover them.
We earnestly beg people not to throw
I such things into the cemetery. Does
it show refined delicacy or good taste ?
We hope, too, that our friends will be
careful not to pile lumber or manure
against the wall next the alley ; it in
jures it very much. Some of the grave
stones need to be set straight; if ne
glected they will fall. Those concerned
ought to attend to it at once. Since
the last report, in October 1861, we

OLD COURT HOUSE VA , I
Oct 6, 1864 j
Messrs. Editors : —Permit me through
your columns to uotice an article in the
Huntingdon Monitor, concerning our (265 th
Peuna.) regiment. The Monitor repre
sents our regiment us marching through
Washington for the front, when Mr Lin
coln c ime out and saluted us, and that three
deafening cheers were then given for Gen.
Gen Geo. B. McClellan, upon which the
President turned and went into the house.
Sirs, I am a member Co F, 205 th regi
merit, and have been with it all the time
since it left Harrisburg, and I assure you
gentlemen, there never were any cheers
given for McClellan. at any time, since the
organization ol the regiment. But, upon
the contrary, a large number of the mem
bers of this regiment who at home were
McClellan men, have got their eyes open
and are going with all their might for Old
Abraham.
It is the general question, when you
meet a soldier, " Are you going to vote for
Old Abe V The invariable answer is,
" Yes, I want to see this war over aud Old
Abe is the man to put it through."
I tell you, Republican friends, all we
want is for the citizens to do their part, and
Oid Abe will be the next President, for
the soldiers' vote is a sure thing McClel
lan is losing ground in the aruiy every day,
and by the time of the election, (second
Tuesday of November,) he will be whit
tled down to the little end of nothing.
Citizens, friends of the Union, all we
want you to do is to give us your aid and
send us tickets plenty, and the soldiers'
vote will give you one of the greatest vic
tories ever won at any preceding Presiden
tial cauapaigo.
Very Respectfully,
Your Obt Servant,

Extracts from a Letter, dated Head
Quarters Co K. 195 th Regt.
SLEEPY CREI.K, VA., Oct 9,1864.
Messrs. Editors: —Permit me through
the columns ol your valuable paper to ex
press my opinions in reference to the con
duct of some of the copperheads ot Brown
township, Mifflin county, who, not satisfied
with disfranchising every one who dares
take his lite in his hand and defeod his
country, but would condescend to the cou
temptible practice of backbiting and slan
dering them, and that too tor political pur
poses and the carrying out of their hellish
designs, for the destruction of one of the best
governments ever erected by the wisdom
ot man or blessed by the benisons ot Al
mighty God. Now, sir, the umti who can
thus debase himself, is destitute of all mor
al courage or philanthropy, aud is only fit
to work under the lash of a party which
has become so degraded that they have
sacrificed every principle of honor and
patriotism. And no marvel if such men
would be found, scouring tbe country to
secure persons to volunteer, in order to
screen their own cowardly heads, and then
cry aloud " the war is a failure." But. sir,
let them howl. Tbey cannot deter us from
discharging the duty which we owe to God
and our country, and it matters very little
whether they withhold their support from
us, by voting for their gunboat general, or
encourage us by casting their ballots for
the Union; for the thunderings of the
gathering storm can be heard already in
the distance, and the torrent of indigna
tion, flowing from a great, free people, will
soon hurst upon their treasonable heads,
and coming generations will hold them in
disgraceful remembrance. Believing, as
we do, that a patriotic and a just people
will mete out to them a ju-t retribution,
we will merely add, " let Ephraim alone,
he is joined to his idols."
Very Respectfully Yours,
JUSTITIUS.
