TEACH TOUR PUPILS TO =AUL The primary Objtet that we should set before us, in all Our labor in the school room—the- thing we should bear continu ally in mind, should be the cultiiration of correct habits of thought in- our pupils. If , We have gained this, we have gained ev erything; if we have, failed here, we have made nearly - a total failure. The -'dis tingnishing feature "Oftli'new, in contrast with ; the old 'methods of instruction,: is, that it sets the scholaf in search for the refirson of things, and makes him Work by the. ride . of common, sense, and apply the principles which he himself has investiga ted; 'rather than by formulas of which e knows nothing, except that they will bring' the answer. The one method trains the child to work . like a machine, the other trainrhim to make use of the powers, the faculties of ,mind which cod has given hint, and•to analyie the several processes by which he seeks to ;arrive at correct re sultS. -The one trains the'stanient to add, I subtract, multiply and divide; the other I also trains him to do this, but it 'trains him `to - think Continually why he does it. Do not train yeti'• pupils then, as Page's Teacher did, to do things because "the' rule says so," but so discipline them to think, that they'coeld construct a rule for themselves if all, the text-books were blot-- ted out of existence. Accustom the child not to receive a 1 principle as true, Cl it has been Troveif . - ;Ito, be so. Let hint even question the [ statement you make hint, if he does it in a proper spirit, and with a desire.to under [stand the principles on which thbse state merits arc founded. Let him even argue with vOu, and if Is arguawnts• are un souini, - or even ridiculous, 'do not think theM unworthy of-your notice; but show him their unsonitdeessi afu teach hint to use better. It should be a source of pleas ure to us when we see the disposition on 'the part of our pupils,. to- seek proot•of I the correctness of our assertions; and the true teacher will rejoice:at every such op- Tportunity. of .strengthening the mental [powers of his pupils. I our not speaking ['now of that pertness which delights in ; contradicting merely for the sake of being [in the opposite—for the sooner this , is checked the better for both teacher and scholar—but 1 ant speaking of that dispo sition to test your statements, that a child, [ very anxious to know the reason of things, will.often manifest. _ ; a. 1.. REND dint•uot only in the exact Sciences may l you teach children to think ; the moral and time physical furnish ayet wider range foe the „cultivation if correct. habits of vestigation, and reasoning_back t 6 caus es, —mid forward to results. There is hard- i ly a recitation - in the natural sciencez42bmit it opens up a field for awakening the mind: , and _sending it out to trace cause and et: fect,;hrtt,the•teacher should not be to lose. • • - Does the text-book mention the fact, that - the coast of Labrador has a. much colder climate than exists at the same lat ittidein Europe? You have an excellent i opportunity to set them thinking howthe Gulf - stream, and the cold =currents from ,the Arctic ocean, operate to produce this diffe - name. Is the fact that there is a rain fess region in Peru brought before them? The trade winds,together with the known laws respeting the condensation and .Con -1 sequent falling of vapor, will enable them to acconnt for it, and will so give an im petus to their minds that will render their piogress in study much more rapid. - .110 you hear one utter 4u ungranimatical sen tence ? do not rest sat fitied with telling him what-W r euld be correct, but take him back to the principle. that he hinvviolated, and-make him correct himself by it ; then he will be - preparM to notice any similar niistake, and to apply the same principle tq it. , • So also, in the repiiremi:ntswhich you make Of him,give him the reasons, and; so far as possitrle, make him understand the utility of theiii. We too often require. children to take our ipu. dizii, insvad of controlling, them in accordance with the I laws that God has inwrought into the ye ! 7 -texture of their souls. phis method -of Acaching will require time; it will require hard, long-continued, and oft.repeated effoils; it is not a thing Of Mushroom growth, and will not enable you to make that display of facts acquired that the other inethod will.

The !Richmond Whip,. which was op- ' posed to secession until the State of Vir ginia joined the Southern Confederacy, thus discourses on Northern conscrva- - tism:' i _ ' "Thepeople of the North are divided into taro parties, in the present war; as in peace that preceded it-L4he conservatives and deStructives. • The latter are: our.old enemies, the abolitioniSts, who are crazy peopleff-honest, perhaps,sin their fanati dam, but fit only for straight jackets. The formeil ai•ci our old friends, who used to declare - , that they loved us better than themselves, and, that, before an army of invasion should'march against the South, it shoUld march over their dead bodies,— I-It seems to be supposed. that they have changed their character, and been merged by the war into one seething cauldron of red 'hot . abolitionism. This, however, is. a great 'mistake.. The war has not changed their character, but only, discov ered it to the world. \ It has shown them to bel the falsest, the . most treacherous, 1 and the most - hypocritical of mankind.— But tn. conservative Money and conserva tive.nien, it could not he carried on for a singleidayi Conservative cities, have pp videdlthe cash and the soldiers; conserv ative 6 enerals have led their con seryaism haS, in tine, proved - the most f fermi fable of our-menace. We are, not aware of a single abolitionist general Who occupies h prominent position in the Fed eral hosts. McClellan,- Roseerans and other are somewhat ultra in their conser vatism; and MCCook, who said if he had an allolitionist in ~his,ariny he would cut off his ears, is the . Same- who proclaims, `the South must he subdued or extermin ated.l The conservatism of these Men 'is still, however, conservatism, - only it 'does not n i tem], as we formerly supposed, 'tire • prese rvation i of ilic,Constitnthin and the rights of the States, lint the conservatism ofNOrthere commerce and manufactures, at an'y' cost whatever to the Southat the cost id• every life and hearthstone in its limits—at the cost of converting its/whole territory into one vast tie.tne of blood and tearti. That is , what '-Northern-conserva- Aism,niemil, and nothing else. It is, in a word, the most detestable avarice-,,,a love of money so passionate and-absorbing that it would murder a while people to fill its pockets. That. is Northern conservatism ! In what is.it4etter them abolitionism?" We publish the above choice bit. of a base because it. demonstrates that while the Northern radicals are chargin , g conservatives with giving aid and comfort to-the enemy, the Secessionists, on the otlatir haral, - denounce these same-conserv ativOs as the most formidable of their en emies. The Northern conservatives are hated by both the abolitionis'ts 'and the ;: e ee s . sionists because they stand as a wall of fire (around the Constitution to protect it froM the treasonable assaults of eitheri,l the: 7 l e rtvolutionary factions. The Seces sionists cordially hate the conservatives because their - loyalty to the Government reinains unshaken, and because they are thelmost potent _and active enemies - of treason. The hatred of the abolitionists for j conservatism. is equally, intense,• and for !very much the same reason, because it re+ts. every attempt to convert war for they maintenance of constitutional govern ntent into - an engine for its destruction. • }Chen this rebellin was inaugurated. by the DAvises, the To( Mbses, the 13enjamins_ and the Wigfalls of the South, they had (1 not the most remote reason to apprehend the slightest infringement upon their Con stitutional rights. The Republican party, although in a minority of the popular vote had obtained control of but one branch of the Government; the Executive branch. The Congress elected with Mr. Lincoln • was a conservative Congress. The Sen ate was Largely against the Republican party. The Cabinet and foreign appoint ments of the new-. President were subject tolthe approval of the Senate. His was the very cypher of a function. The vieto ryl of the Republican • party would have preyed a barren victory, and its fruits lim ited to the patronage. under the. exclusive control of the President and the Depart ments. Moreover, the, CongresS w...hich expired with the incoming President, thO.' it ;defeated the Crittenden Compromise by the joint efforts of the Republicans and the secession conspirators, adopted an a mendment to the Constitution protecting each State in the right to regulate its do mestic institutions, and also recommend ed to the Northern Statds the repeal of their unconstitutional personal liberty laws. The South had nothing to fear from the new Administration. glad the-South ern Senators remained faithfully at their posts, and the Southern Representatives returned to Congress, the Republican par ty would have peen powerless to carry opt any of its offensive . doctrines, and at tie end of four years i world have been succeeded by:a Dem,oeratic -.Administra i tion. But instead of confining their oppo s!tion to the limits prescribed by the Con sitution, the Southern—Senators went home to inaugurate rebellion, and put I 1 their cause to the arbitrament of the sword. They became traitors to the gov- I tlitnent, and traitors to the Northern onservatives * NO° stood by them so long 'ts they claimed nothing but their consti tutional rights. They appealed to arms: Without the slightest justification—they deserted' their Northern friends to humble themselves at , the feet of European des- I pots -k--they. sought the indiscriminate a basement of the Northern peopleand they inaugurated the most causeless and wicked revolt with which - the pages of bistorkhave.eYer been stained: And now. 1 When.they are paying the penalty ditheir I I treachery—when their power is, broken. ---when the)r pride is humbled -when their rebel Congress, is a fugitive from 'their rebel Capital—When their-soldiers gre scampering over the sacred soil of Vir inia-and when the ruins of their proud fabric of rebellion threaten-to crush- the leader's who were instrumental in rearing it, they find no cause , for, self ; abasement, lbut fall to abusing the - Northern aonserv , , iatives for notimitatingtleir bad faith and' itreachery to the best form of:Government 'ii ever devised by human Sagacity.' . . 11 - The Northern aonservatives.wili outliye the enmity of_rehels, and enjoy the sails faction of compelling them to render obe dience:t6 the Government-and the laws. They will also outlive the amity of the abolitionists and protect the Constitution from - their treasonable schemes. -'Trey will liVe to see the Union restored, the. Constitution .maintained atvi treason in • every shape - annihilated, or. - rendered im potent for future evil.—Patrio/ ;1; Union: ... , , Seceding from Secotsion—lailitary In terpretation of State Rights. , • Ittiould have been difficult to predict, at the, beginning of , . the retiellion, when the theory of "State Rights" was used as the leyer with which to precipitate the Southern States out, of the Union, that the selfsame doctrine might eVentnally become one of the-instruments in bring-, ing those States back intothe Uni,7n. But there are already several unmistakable to kens that the bane is also to prove thean tidote, and none more marked than the military interpretation which the doctrine of " State Rights" has just, received in North Carolina.. The 'facts of thisbter ; email , * developenient are relatedin 4n ar ticle from the N'ewbern-newspaper, which will be-found in another column. 3t ap pears, that win_m that place was capinred by Gen. Burnside, it was reported that Mayor Respess, of Washington, N. C. went to see the . General.. Mr. Respess was hereupon arrested by agents of Davis in the night, 'hurried off to Richmond in Irons, and thrust into a d_ungeon. The" outrage crented . intense excitement thre'- out the state. Gov. Clark (who is n0t..2, - et in prison) accordingly sent ap imperative demand to the Richmond authorities that the her son of itlC MaYor must be deliver- ed up forthwith, otherwise North' Caroli na would send a force to baelmip the de mand of the Convention. This eineted i his release. But the matter does not end here. It seems that the rebel "President" a few days since ordered Gov. Clark to furnish all the means of transportation and defence possible to aid him in the passage to and through the Cotton Statesond al -so, for additional troops:- Gov. Clark, backed by the Convention, Wormed him that he " had received all' iel id from N. Carolina that ho could e • >eat, and that hereafter,-no mol.e. tro 8 s would be per mittato leave the State," and has order-. ed all the ,North Carolina State troops home. Ile further informed the Richmond authorities that they could .ase, the rail ! roads in retreating-homewards, but they I would run their own risk or being inter:. eepted by a Union : force at any part of the State. The source.through which this intelligence comes leaves no doubt of the sUbstantial.aCettraey of the whole transac= tion., _ 'flails were an isolated case it might be I traversed by the claim of somethingfoe- , 1 culiar in the temper of the people of the Old North State. But it is not an isola ted case. It• is butt 'h short time since , a body of • South Carolina soldiery, true to the State-rights traditions which have -Of late been the "be all and end all" of her politics, refused to leave the limits' of the Suite in support of the Southern pause, alleging, as the Atignsta (Ga.) con t4tiono It st rep(Prt ed, that" they were en- liked to serve the State Of South Caroli nh,-:.lnd were willing to tight in her own deffinee, but that they Would net go out Of the State." The officers urged the stig Ma. that would rest upoti them for relit-s -ing to go where their country most need- ed their services, and the reproach Alley' would bring upon the State of South Car olina, which had been forentost iu -the work of resistance. Sheer appeals, how ever, were unavailing, and the malcon tents stubbornly refused-to leave the beim-. daries of the State. We are safe in predicting that 'there - will be a steady developement of the State Rights theory in the South, and that in Proportion as the rebellion wanes, this cardinal doctrine-Will'acquire new and pe culiar poWer. If the rebels,yrould only stick thithffilly to tlfe programme with which they set out, the fabric of rebellion would ere this have fallen to pieces of its own weight. But the Richmond usurp ers soon discovered that, though secession might be a very useful.' aid to break up •kt Government, it was a poor principle on which tar-found a new one, and the. "Con federacy" has for months been-such a -des potism as, there are few parallels to. The honest Southern devotees to State-Rights are, them Selves beginning to discover and deplore what they call the " great change in Out Government." The end will be that we-shall find this heresy a most import ant atiiillary in the rehabilitation of the Union. As the Confederate cause experi eneeS new reverses,_ it will -become very convenient to back determinedly on the "ireserved rights" of the States. The first gtep; in many cases,- will not be ley ' ally to theiinion,.but State Rights versos The Conffideracy. State Rights will be the middle term that will let.them down from rebellion to re-union'. :'The logical outworking of secession is to siwede froin seeession. It is -interestin g to sec how the Moral laws thus vindicate themselves— how vaulting ambition doth eterleap itself, and fall on the other Y. Times, ' Marriage of Blood Relatives. * • The state or Massachusetts desired, a few years since, to ascertain the number 1 of idiots in .the state, with aiview to make lar'rangements for 'their welfare, as well as ). to establish thd statistics of the case..

The ion party at that time ignOred.evo7 par ty question, Sand went befoie the people upon the single idea of a vigorous cation of the war. Upon such a plutforinl the ticket was successful by pearly a•linn-, 1 dred thousand majority. 3lr.Dickinsoh, and those Union Democrats who ac(6.1.1 witli-him then ;were_ entirely -grilling to keep up their organization as long as the war lasted, but it seems that!theiritepnb- I lican colleagues, as is usual with that par ty everywhere, desired to gii.e it an aho• iition coating. That is, as in Pennsyhiia- - • nia, the Republicans of NeNir - York - defre creation to regard them as the *at. party, when their designs • are4in3ply t7F effect abolitiovism,• and, all who are , not prepitr ed to assist them in their operation are=of course to be termed "sympmhizers with I treason." • Mr. - Dickinson very nicely• exposes these.gamesters, id a letter;- from wlicelt . we select. the following extraet.: I/ i i "Soon after the issue of certain le,sOlu tions by a Republican - committee, ronStst- , ing of Mr. Draper and others, recomtn4pd- - ; ink strict Repnblicap organization, action, I ttc., a .` Republican member of Assetntlyl in- i vited toe to meet a numbler of gentlemen i for the purpose of consultation,: touckfitg. the continuation of the, Union mormitent.! from last autumn, and J went there adeor- 1- dingly.
