THE MIHITEEL
THE FOOTSTEPS OF DECAY.
The following is a translation from an ancient Span
ish Poem, which, says the Edinburgh Review, is sur
passed by nothing with which we are acquainted in
the Spanish language, except the K)de of Louis De
Leon.'
Oh let the soul its slumbers break—
Aroilse its senses and awake,
To see how soon
Life, in its glories glides away,
And the stern footsteps of decay
Come stealing on.
And while we view the rolling tide,
Down with our flowing minutes glide
Away so fast,
Let us the present hour employ.
And deem each future dream a joy
Already past.
Let no vain hope deceive the mind-
No happier let us hope to find
To-morrow than to-day.
Our goldeu dreams of yore were bright,
Like them the present'shall delight-
Like them decay.
Our lives like hasting streams must be,
That into one engulphing sea
Are doomed to fall—
The sea of death whose waves roll on
O'er king and kingdom, crown and throne,
And swallow all.
Alike the river's lordly tide,
Alike the humble rivulets glide
To that sad wave;
Death levels poverty and pride.
And rich and poor sleep side by side
Within the grave.
Our birth is but a starting place;
Life is the running of the race,
And death tne goal;
There all our glittering toys are brought—
The path alone, of all unsought,
Is found ef ail.
See then how poor and little worth
Are all these glittering toys of earth
That lure us here!
Dreams of a sleep that death must break,
Alas! before it bids us wake
We disappear.
Long ere the damp of earth can blight ,
The cheek's pure glow of red and white
Has passed awav.
Youth smiled and all was heavenly fair —
Ago came and laid his finger there,
• And where are they !
Where is the strength that spurned decay,
The step that roved so light and gay,
The heart's blithe tone!
The strength is gone, the step is slow,
And joy grows wearisome ana wo!
When age comes on.
For the Educational Column.
What is the Use of an Educational
Column ?
Judging from the backwardness or in
difference on the part of teachers, in con
tributing to the Educational Column, one
might infer that they regard it as of trifling
importance, and that it might as well be
dispensed with, especially if their brains
are to be taxed for contributions.
Is there any use, then, in such a col
umn ? I answer there is, and for the fol
lowing reasons : First. Jt meets a want
in the educational world which cannot he
met fully in any other way. The educa
tional organ of the State, The Pennsylva
nia School Journal, is devoted to the cause
of education in general, gives knowledge
of the condition, doings and progress of
schools throughout the State, and leads off
in the prominent educational topics of the
day.
This valuable journal, however, is not
taken or read by the mass of the people,
not perhaps by the majority of teachers,
and if it were, its limited dimensions of
twenty-two pages would scarcely admit of
a discussion of all those questions and top
ics of local interest which may be found to
exist in many communities. Neither docs
it afford to teachers a sufficient means for
the interchange of opinions on the subject
of education and matters pertaining to it
generally. Here then is a void—a great
want, and a call therefore for some other
agency, first, to briDg before the people
and to disseminate amongst them knowl
edge on the subject of education, to awa
ken public conscience and to educate it so
that the people may see their duty while
chooeiDg officers to preside over their edu
cational interests, to choose intelligent,
public spirited men, who will be willing to
make some sacrifice for the public good ;
also, in affording to teachers that co opera
tion on their part which is so much need
ed but unfortunately so much withheld.
Second, to enable teachers of the county
to give each other the mutual beuefit of
their knowledge and experience in teaching
and governing, and thus to aid and encour
age each other in the discharge of their
duties, which are by no means of a light
and trivial character.
What agency then may be employed to
effect results so desirable ?
In answer, although other agencies may
be, and are used, I hesitate not to say that
none can be found so efficient as the edu
cational column of a county paper.
County conventions serve a good pur
pose in promoting life and zeal, harmony
and good teeling amoDgst teachers ; also, in
their tendency to secure uniformity in the
best methods of teaching. But those
fruits of the convention, through the un
frequency of the meetings, are to a great
extent lost, unless some other means be
employed to retain them. Such means we
have in the educational column, if rightly
conducted. It, however, can be rightly
conducted only wheo there is professional
spirit and interest enough on the part of
teachers and oil era in the cause of educa
tion to make it what it should be—a chan
nel flowing with thoughts and ideas that
will interest and profit those who read them.
Whether such a spirit and interest exists
in Mifflin county, the future character of
the column will show.
Another reason why sueh a column isdesi
WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1864.
rable is that we naturally like to read, are
more interested and perhaps more profited by
reading articles written by those we know,
with whom we are acquainted, and still
more so if we are intimate with them.
How much more valuable the produc
tions of auy pen become when we have be
come acquainted with the writer, especially
if we have a place in his esteem or affec
tions !
Teachers of the same county through
their institutes and conventions beoome ac
quainted, often intimate, and are thus
brought into that relation which makes
theui more than otherwise interested in the
ideas and thoughts of each other.
Other reasons might be given, such as
the importance of encouraging home indus
try; developing home talents, &c., but my
article is growing too lengthy.
To the teachers of Mifflin county I
would say that with the aid which they are
well capable of giving, the Educational Col
umn can and will be made interesting and
profitable. Without it—with the aid only
of the very few who do contribute occa
sionally—it will be kept up, I suppose, but
it will necessarily fail in meeting fully the
object for which the culuuin was opened.
Let there be a free expression of opin
ions on the subject of education, on the
best methods of teaching particular branch
es, &c. We want no prosy essays on the
state of education in general, but actual
schoolroom experiences, practical sugges
tions, genuine improvements in methods of
instruction and school government.
Short, concise articles on such and kin
dred topics is just what is wanted. By
giving these, teachers will do themselves
good and will confer a benefit upon others.
Let us have them, teachers. M.

THE TRAITOR'S CHILD.
The energies of the American troops
stationed at Fort Washington after their
evacuation of New York, were fully taxed
to repel the many sorties made against
them by the enemy. It required a constant
and careful watch upon the part of the
Commander-in-chief to prevent a surprise,
and the more surely to effect this, a system
of observation was maintained along the
road, so that information passed from point
to point was sure to reach the camp ere the
carry out their designs. The
majority of persons living on the line from
toe city to Kingsbridge, gladly aided in
this plan of police, and thus rendered es
sential service to the cause. One of this
number, however, a Mr Jenning, at last
took umbrage at some order of Washington
or bis subordinates, and with a reprehensi
ble cunning, he determined to abandon the
Americans and serve the interests of the
foe. So secretly were these plans concoct
ed and carried out, that no one outside his
own family suspected his disaffection.
The British general accepted the offered
services, and pledged himself to pay large
ly for them. It was pronosed that a num
ber of his troops should march as far as
his neighbor's, who would of course com
municate their movements to Jenning, who
in his turn instead of passing the warning
wrs to conceal the forces until reinforce
ments could arrive, and a formidable dem
onstration could be made against the fort
" Aud for this service, in any event, you
shall have a thousand pounds," said the
British General to the traitor. "Should
it eventuate in the entire overthrow of the
rebels, the sum shall be trebled, while oth
er rewards shall he freely bestowed. You
are certain that you have confided the mat
ter to no one ?"
"Not a soul save those of my own fam
ily know of it," said Jenning.
"Of whom does your family consist?"
"Of my wife, who is an invalid, and an
only daughter."
" How are they affected by your change?"
"I know not, nor do I care. But of
couise they will follow my wishes, which
have ever been law to theui. My daughter
is the only one who would think of a dif
ference of opinion, and even she would
never dare to give it expression."
" I have heard that the majority of your
American females have imbibed a sort of
romantic attachment to George Washing
ton, which m.ght lead them to sympathy
with him. But of course you are sure of
your child and can answer for her."
" With my life !"
" Suppose you allow me to invite her
here. It would be a safe thing, and at the
same time remove her from the suspicion
of collusion should you be discovered,"
" I cannot part with her, sir. She has
aided me heretofore, and can do so again.
She is very obedient, so we need not fear
her."
44 Enough ! manage the matter yourself.
I am content. Now for our plans. At
dusk, to morrow, a company of Captain
Trevor s command will he put in motion
and arrive about midnight at your house.
You will conceal them and await the oth
ers. When all are gathered, you will
guide tbern to the attack. The rebels, be
ing off their guard, will fall an easy prey."
So far as the intentions of the British
officer were concerned, the meditated plan
was carried out. A number of picked
men were concealed at Jenniog's house,
and at the proper time marched towards
their destination. Under cover of night
they had proceeded to the next station on
the road, when their advance was suddenly
checked.
A sharp rattle of musket balls, which
seemed to have been designedly fired above
their heads, brought them to an immediate
halt, A second discharge gave them to
understand that their further progress
would be dangerous. Captain Trevor, who
was iu command, immediately gave orders
for a countermarch, aud in less than ten
minutes the whole body was iu retrograde
position.
We can hardly venture to describe the
feelings of chagrin entertained by the ori
ginal plotter of this expedition, when in
formed by Trevor of the unsatisfactory re
sult. As that officer handed him the gold
which had been promised, he threw it to
the ground with a violent gestuie and, with
an oath, swore he would murder the in
former, whoever it might be, that had thus
defeated his hopes. In vain the king's of
ficer strove to calm him; the darker pas
sions of his nature were roused, and would
not he exorcised. While he was thus
storming and invoking maledictions upon
the head of the culprit, a fair girl entered
the apartment. There was a look of intel
iigent firmness upon her pale couutenance,
as her eyes met those of her father and
quailed not.
" Come hither, Hester !" he cried. "Do
you know aught of this matter? (Jan you
tell me who sent word to Washington, re
specting this expedition?"
Hester cast an appealing look upon the
officer, who however did Dot interfere be
tween them.
" Did you hear my question ?" roared
Jenning. 44 Tell me, do you know aught
of this?"
" I do," replied the girl, in a low tone.
" I thought so ! Now, tell me the per
son's name."
44 It was I!"
44 You ! Serpent! You betray me— !"
"Father! hear me. I did send word to
our general that the enemy were to make
an attack upon the fort, but your name was
not mentioned as being a party to the ex
pedition. No harm can come to you. I
knew how ardently and long our country
men had struggled against oppression; how
nobly they had contended against superior
forces; how true was their devotion to the
cause in which they were engaged, and I
could not quietly look on and see their de
struction attempted. I sent word of this,
but iu saving them I did not betray you."
44 Enough that you have come between
me and my revenge! This be your re
ward !"
He drew from his pocket a pistol and de
liberately aimed it at his child. She moved
not —did not even tremble—but Trevor,
shocked beyond measure at the horror of
the meditated deed, sprang towards the
wretch and raised his arm. The ball
grazed her head, and was buried in the
wainscot.
44 Shame on you, man !" cried the officer
with indignation. 44 Would you have her
blood on your hands! Of what are you
composed ! Is she not your child ?"
"No!" cried Hester, with startling em
phasis, "I am not, or at least shall not be
for the future. I will not own a parent
who to the crime of treason can add that
of murder. I did expose your villainy,
and would do it again. Nay, you may
frown, I fear you not. This last base act
has frozen up the natural current of my
heart."
Then in a calmer and more feeliug tone,
she continued :
44 Father—'tis the last time I Bhall call
you so—l bid you farewell forever. Your
malediction may be hurled against me, but
never again will you look upon my face.
Ere another day has passed, Washington
shall know of your treachery. Your only
safety is in flight. In England you may
enjoy the fruit of your baseness, but here
you cannot remain. Farewell, forever !"
She passed from the room, as the tears,
which she could no longer control, coursed
rapidly down her cheeks. She repaired at
once to the bedside of her mother, in whose
body the last flickerings of life were fast
failing. She knelt beside her, and even a9
she prayed the worn spirit was released
from bondage.
44 Alone! an orphan! God help me!"
she exclaimed, as she pressed her trem
bling lips to those which had so often met
hers in love.
Jenning lingered not long. Soon after
he was on his way to England, where he
lived, as traitors should, in splendid dis
grace. Hester became the wife of a young
Revolutionary officer, and lived long enough
to give to her descendeuts the valuable ex
ample of the Christian and patriot mother.

Eastward from Atlanta.
From Atlanta to Augusta, by railroad,
is 171 miles. From Augusta to Charles
ton, 137 miles. From Atlanta to Macon,
103 uiiles From Macon to Savannah 290
miles. From Augusta to Savannah, 132
miles. The country from Atlanta toward
Augusta is quite rolling, and, in places,
rocky, with plenty of small streams and
springs, and abundance of wood and for
age for an army. It is really a well set
tled farming "country. There are but few
swamps, and the roads generally are good.
The only serious obstructions that the in
habitants could place in the way of an ar
my would be the destruction of the bridges
over the Savannah at Augusta. If they
do that the army could turu its attention
first upon Savannah instead of Charleston,
or it cculd re-bridge the river without any
serious delay. The country between Au
gusta aud Charleston is not as good as to
ward Atlanta Part of it is inhabited by
poor "sundhillers," and part of it is very
sparsely inhabited. From Branchville
the point where the railroads from Augusta
and Columbia unite—to Charleston, 62
miles, the country is very flat, with a good
deal cf swamp, and in summer time is so
miasmatic that settlements are sparse,
though there are some large plantatiou,
and when cotton was king, there were a
great many slaves kept at work upon all
the dry spots of this swampy region. It
is not a bad one to march through in cool
weather. It would he deadly in summer.
Immediately around Charleston the laud is
very flat, or swampy.
The road lrom Augusta to Columbia,
the capital of South Caroliua, is ,4 across
the ridges," which are generally low, sand
bills, and over small streams, the borders
of which are cultivated by small cotton
planters and farmers, who keep a good
deal of stock, aud have plenty of grain
aad sweet potatoes. The Congaree river
at Columbia, is a respectable sized mill
stream, nothing more, and so is the Wa
teree, eastward of it, and so are the two
Pedees, and if an army ever has to march
from Augusta to Wilmington, it will find
no serious obstructions in the way, except
in a time of high water, when every small
stream overflows its low banks and covers
a broad swamp. The whole way is a good
country for an army to march and subsist
in. The distance from Augusta to Colum
bia is about eighty miles, and from Colum
bia to Wilmington N. C., about 200 miles.
Some of the richest cotton planters of South
Carolina are found along the rivers, which
such a march would cross.
Military Law.
Major General Couch has approved
the proceedings of a Military Commis
sion, recently held at Harrisburg, in
the cases of Samuel Kline, William
Appleman and John Rantz, citizens of
Columbia county, Pa., who were char
ged with many other disloyal persons
in the socioty known as the 'Knights
of the Golden Circle,' with being arm
ed for the purpose of resisting the en
rollment law and the military authori
ty of the government; with the com
mission of acts of disloyalty; with ut
tering disloyal sentiments; and with
threatening the life cf Captain Wm.
Silvers, deputy provost marshal of
Bloomsburg.
Kline was sentenced to two years'
imprisonment; Appleman to be fired
five hundred dollars, and to be impris
oned until the fine is paid; and Rantz
to be fined one thousand dollars, and
to be imprisoned two years. General
Couch has designated Fort Mifflin as
the place of confinement.

A Tig-er Frightened by a Mouse.
A traveler gives the following anecdote
! of a tiger kept at the British Residency at
| Calcutta: 4, But what annoyed him far
more than our poking him with a stick, or
tantalizing him with shins of beef or legs
of mutton, was introduced into his cage.
No fine lady ever exhibited more terror at
the sight of a spider, than this magnificent
royal tiger betrayed on seeing a mouse.
Our mischievous plan was to tie the little
animal by a string to the end of a long
pole, and thrust it close to the tiger's nose.
The moment he saw it he leaped to the
opposite side, and when the mouse was made
to run near him, he jammed himself into
a corner and stood trembling and roaring
in such an ecstasy of fear, that.we were
always obliged to desist, in pity to the poor
brute. Sometimes we insisted on his pass
ing over the spot where the unconscious
little mouse ran backwards and forwards.
For a long time, however, we could not get
him to move; till at length I believe by the
help of a squib, we obliged him to start;
but instead cf pacing leisurely across in
his den, or of making a detour to avoid the
object of his alarm, he generally took a
flying kind of a leap, so high as nearly to
bring his back in contact with the root' of
his cage."
Attacked by Croics. —A gentleman
residing in Wheeling went hunting a few
days since, and not finding any better game
he took a shot at a lot of crows that were
cawing in the woods. He wounded one of
the birds in the wing, and when it fluttered
to the ground the gentleman picked it up.
The hurt bird cried most piteously, when
suddeuiy the whole flock came to its assis
tance and made an attack upon the hunter.
They darted about his head, and picked
and scratched him with such violence,
that he was obliged to defend himself with
a stick, aud was finally compelled to release
the wounded crow, and beat a hasty re
treat.
