LETTERS PEON THE PEOPLE.
The Soldiers' Monument.
EDITORS GAZETTE: I am very glad to
see in your editorial remarks on the sub
ject, a request that the Monumental As
sociation reconsider their action in re=
Bard to locating the proposed structure
in the Cemetery. I speak as one whO
served during the war, from April,' 1861,
until after the surrender of the rebel ar
mies, and as one who patronized the
Monumental Fair almost every day and
evening it ras held, giving in my mite,
all I could afford, to make it successful.'
I have never taken part as one of the As
sociation, but I have telt and still feel a
deep interest in the proceedings of those
self-sacrificing ladies who have done so
much to rear this testimonial of grate
fulness to the dead soldiers. The best of
mortals sometimes err, and I feel that, I
am warranted by the sentiment of the
communty in saying that these ladies
have committed a grave error and one
that, if not undone whilst it is yet pot
amble, they will regret as long as they liyo.
Of all the sites proposed they have un
doubtedly chosen the one least split . ).
priate, and the one most obnoxious to
the public. Perhaps they l have been
hampered in their action, ;by perso 38
having selfish interests at stake; and
Perhaps, without their knowing it, some
thing of this kind was the weight that
finally made the decision. '
It is useless to go over all_ the argil
manta against having it at the Cemetery
—there are too many of them; but if the
Cemetery was open to the public, it is
not the proper place for such a structure.
The object in having a public monu
ment, as I understand it, is to have it in
a position at once accessible and con
spicuous; where it will be a gratifying
object for our own citizens to look upon,
and one that will remind our visitors that
our patriotic people 'have not forgotten
those *ho sacrificed their lives that the
life of the nation might be saved.
How many of our citizens visit the
Cemetery for gratification, pleasure or
sight-seeing? How many visitors to the
city are taken -there to be shown the
greatness or the beauty of the place?
The answer to both of these queries must
be comparatively few. If the monu
ment were to be placed outside the gate
the same arguments still hold, and,
therefore, Lawrenceville section should
not be gratified at the expense of the
balance of the community.
As a Pittsburgher, I would like, above
all things, to have it located somewhere
in the city; but there has not been an
eligible site offered in the city. Alleghe
ny, in her commons, has the - most eligi
ble, conspicuous and pleasing site that
has been offered. I haves small opinion
of Alleghenian, because in the interest
of a few ward politicians they prevented
our two cities being one grand city, rank
ing, as it should do, in the cities of the
world; but, because the village has some
open space that is being improved into a
Park, gratify Alleghenians by doing a
sensible thing, and put the Monument
where it hvill be seen, oven by Pitts
burghers, on the Commons.
Ina few years every poor man wanting
to enjoy cooling shade and a grass plat
without going a long distance will
ride to Allegheny on the street cars,
and take a stroll through the Park, as
it will then be called.
MEM
Persons taking a drive, or showing
strangers our rural pleasure-places, will
take the well-kept Park in Allegheny
~ e n route," where oue of the beauties
ought to be the Soldiers' Monument.
But do, please do, get the lattice to re
consider. If they won't locate in Alle
gheny get them to put it on Cliff street,
Scotchi Hlll Market square, the Grain
Elevator. the Court House, at the POlut,
or at Point Breeze near the stock yards.
anywhere is preferable to the grave yard.

EDITORS GAZETTE: At the close of the
late confli.ct an effort was made by a few
benevolent and patriotic ladies, who so
lately had distinguished- themselves in
the cause of humanity, to raise funds for
the purpose of erecting a monument to
commemorate the heroic deeds of the
sons of Allegheny county, who gave
their lives in support of our National ex
istence.
Their efforts were pecuniarily success.
ful, and a large amount of money was
freely contributed for that purpose. I
notice in reading the minutes of their
last meeting, which was informal, or at
least far from being regular, that some
eight ladies, out of twenty, Into whose
bands this money was placed in trust, lo
cated this testimonial in the .Allegheny
Cemetery—grounds owned by private in
dividuals, surrounded by high wails, and
accessible only to stockholders, or others
who, by special favor, are fortunate to
obtain permission by card, and then only
In certain hours In the day,
This is surely a misconstruction of the
object of this testimonial. Had the
ladies consulted the wishes of nine
tenths of the contributors to that fund,
or rod they themselves the advantages
of a more extended observation, they
would not have failed to notice that such
monuments are not to be considered in
the light of a tomb stone, but, like the
shaft of Blinker Hill, or - the statues of
Washington, Lafayette, or ottiera, are to
be admired as commemorative of noble
deeds of noble men, and to perpetuate
noble principles.
We deprecate any action regardless of
public sentiment, and would Midst upon
a free and unrestrained exhibition of
this testimonial of public gratitude, and
advise; that the eight ladies in question
desist from pursuing for the second or
third time a course of action which must
eventually bring upon themselves dis
credit, and mar, if not obliterate, all the
good that was originally intended.
SOLDIER,
MESSRS. EDITORS: SO much has been
said and written of late concerning the
advantages presented by the different
sites offered for the location of the long
talked .of Soldiers' Monument that it
seems out of place nips , to go any farther;
but having been a Apoldier myself, serving
through nearly allot the time of the late
war, and having a deep interest in this
profaned monument, I cannot even at
this late hour forbear protesting against
the late action of the Committee having
the matter in charge as being unwise in
so far as it does not, nor never can, give
satisfaction to :a very large majority of
our citizens, whose contributions in
money and influence have brought the en
terprise so far towards completion. Now
that it is certain we are to have a monu
ment somewhere, the object of which is
familiar to every one,
the only question
is, Where shall it belocated in order to
be seen by the largest number of our
citizens and strangers without incurring
any expense or the loss of any time from
business ?
• This la the only question at issue, and
before entering upon any discussion of it,
permit me to state that I am not writing
In the Interest of any particular party,
but rather desiring to see the whole
county represented se far as possible.
- Now, if•the Monument 'be placect in the
Cemetery,the result is that it will never
be seen by many of _ the business men
visiting our cities annually, not_ by one
of the great throng continually 'posing

or come, unless they lose a day from
their work or wait till. Sabbath and be
obliged to pay out their hard earned
money for conveyance out and then most
likely not get in unless they happened to
be ticket holders.
Now it seems to us that 'there is really
only one site among them all, and thatlis
Seminary Hill—a spot which in itself,
without any ornamentation more than
Nature, the great bead , and chief of all
artists has bestowed upon it, possesses a
sublimity of grandeur such as can be
found nowhere else in the county. Sit
uated
as it is in the heart of the city,
and rising as it does almost perpendic
ular to a height of nearly two hundred
feet above the level, while on one side
sweeps silently by the three rivers, with
the Pan Handle Railroad and high range
of hills in full view, and on the other
stretches away in beautiful contrast the
public park grounds with the line of the
Pittsburgh, .Fort Wayne and Chicago
railroad winding gracefully through,
and from- the summit both cities with
itll their surroundings, including the
rinolpal depot, come in full view.
Now, if the ladies haying the ma ter in
arge will lay aside'all prejudice I am
sure they cannot find another -s t that
presents to many attractions, -and ill be
of so easy access and stimulate-Me-sub
scription of so much money in addition
to the liberal offer already made by the
Allegheny authorities. In placing the
monument on Seminary Hill it will give
satisfaction to a larger number of citizens
of the county, it is believed, than any
where else, and then, and only then, will
Allegheny county have erected a monu
ment which shall show forth to other
cities, and other States, their apprecia
tion of those of her sons who fell in the
endearing cause of human liberty, thus
perpetuating their memories through
succeeding generations. A CITIZEN.

characters and preparing for future use
fulness.
4th. That we feel renewed confidence
in the final suomss of our cause, and
that we will go forth from this Conven

work in which we have enlisted.
sth. That the time is not far distant
when we must make a step in advance
of any yet taken, and make a deter

ballot-box, feeling that the success of
our cause depends upon the law making
power of the State, and the sooner that
is purified the sooner will victory crown
our efforts.

Corporal Paalahment In the PubUc
Schools.
;MESSRS. EDITORS GAZETTE; In this
age of Velocipedes any man may have
his "hobby," and, so far as applies to
school government, possibly every
teacher has a hobby. A. good hobby
tem.differs from a bad bobby just SO far as
good or bad mechanical contrivance
differs.
A good method of government differs
from a bad mathod so far as good or bad
prinCiples are thrived in it. And any
method is good only so far as-itdeVelops
good and true principles in the ilfe and
conduct of the child; humanizes instead
,of brutalizes; elevates and refines instead
tordegrades and debases. It requires but
little perception to discover the maned.
ority of a good rule over a bad one, when
they are both brought to a practical' est.
And as applied to teaching, 'the success
of a rule is generally measured by the
amount of "book learning" 'a child ao
quires within a given time. But •as
' teachers have no rule for measuring
health and morals, no account is taken of
the physical injury or demoralized
1 condition of the child as an offset.
The moral training of a child is of the.
first importance, and every method that
tends to demoralize should ce abandoned;
and there is plenty of proof to show that
the prevailing practice of flogging inevi.
table leads .to lying, deceit, hatred, re
venge, tardiness, truancy, absenteeism,
Indifference and disgust, and the fear of
severe punishment frequently so\ con
fuses and agitates the thoughts that thee .
mind loses its equilibrium, and is lost in
vacancy, entirely unfitting the child for
study. I was a school-boy once myself,
and I retain some vivid recollections of
the use of the rod, and these recollec
tions lead me to make war on the infer
nal practice. '
In those days there was no such thing
known among farmers as a "threshing
machine," except, indeed, in the Country
school houses. It was the fashion in
those days to "thresh" out the grain
with a hickory flail, and it was also the
fashion to "thresh" in the mental grain'
witl*i hickory rod, and was done by the
"posterior" method of threshing. The
only wonder is, that while the farmer
keeps np with the age of improvement,
and does all his threshing at once by
machinery, that the teacher has not in
vented some instrument by which he' '
could give a general threshing and make
one fob of it. But this is only a proof of
how - hard it is for teachers to get oat of
old practices and adopt new. 1
Small children, with reason undevel
oped, should be governed by affection,
and a difference of :sex should not be
overlooked, and should receive 'some
what different treatment. With the
y9ung something like a family feeling
should be cultivated in school. ' With
the older a more rigoious, soldierly disci
pline should prevail. Instructioryariould
be imparted through the medium of the
eyes and ears, except such as relates to
taste, smell and the sensations from
.touch. The organs of perception are sit
uated in the anterior portion of the head„
above the eyes, and plainly indicate the
direction from whence we receive ideas.-
Phrenology confirms this. -and teaches
that the re fl ective or rational rattans are
n the fiont of the ferehead. The ideal
fat the sides, and the moral or religious
above in the highest region, whilst, the
affectional organs are situated at he pos
-1 tenor and base of the, brain. Hence
we may logically conclude that nstruc
tion cannot be driven in from t e pos
terior direction, nor through the; hands,
or ends of the fingers, as is frequently at
tempted, by means of the rod. All
that sort of effect is not *ay futile, but
positively cruel.
There are persons in all communities
who are morally constituted, with large
"benevolence" or philanthropy. Such
persona are naturally kind hearted, and
with ordinary intellectual powers in
evitably drift into the ranks of reformers.
This class formed the first Abo:ltionist,
Liberty or Anti Slavery party, because
they had convictions that slavery was
wrong, cruel, brutalizing and a curse
morally aad politically to the country.
Slavery, was abolished. And now the
same class, whose minds were easily af
fected by the magnitude of evil linvolv
ed in slavery, will readily seek some
other field of reform. Unfortrinately
many of them will find a new field in
thepublic schools, and the sane no
ble feelings of refinement and henevo
lance which were shocked in contem
plating the barbarism of slavery,' will in
due time raise a hutsbub in our IPublic
Schools until the disgraceful practice of
flogging is abolished from the school

The love of rule in some degree is im
planted in the nature of every one.
This love has two elements, or qualities.
One is the love of power over others,
from an evil love, of self, and makes
tyrants and cruel task masters. The
other is the love of ruling over others,
from the love of being useful to them,
and is the good, love of "loving the
neighbor," and 'makes men benevolent,
charitable and philanthropic. The former
love, when found in teachers, makes
them severe, stern, driving task masters,
and exacting beyond - comparison.
Apparently without a kind feeling in
their naturesi,or government, they de
mand blood as the price of disobedience.
Fear and hate is the fruit of such rule,
and an iron rod should be hung in the
hool as a fit symbol of its hardness.
The good element in teachers leads
the scholars by winning their affections
and confidence, and holding the atten
tion by kind, soft, loving words arid
manners. Love inspires love, onfidence
and trust, and when that state is once
induced the child is easily managed, be
cause school becomes attractive and de
lightful, and is no longer regarded as a
prison and place of confinement.

A Highly Intelligent Lady, a resident
of Syracuse, N. Y., says that she was
afflicted nearly a year, periodically, with
derangement of, the circulation, the
blood rushing to the lungs with such
force as to threaten congestion and death.
This was attended with the most intense'
pain in allpatts of the belly. Failing to
obtain relief from any of the physicians
whom she employed from time- to time,
she was induced to try the PLANTATION
BITTERS, and to Iher surprise and joy
they have relieved her, and she is now
in good health and flesh.
