In eighteen hundred and twenty-four, an old lady named Madame de Sariac, living in Gascony, had one of those nursery fights with her grandson, aged seven, which at the time are treated as eternal sins, and afterwards re garded as prospective virtues. Young mas ter had been required to knee), and demand pardon for soma misdeed; young master re fused. Backing into a corner, he doubled his little fists and in a voice of infantile thun der exclaimed, “Touch me if you dare!” Old grandmamma Sariac was fain to leave her rebellious descendant to his own devices: which rebellious descendanesvas Gaston de Raoossel-Baulboo, the Little Wolf of the Gaston household. On another occasion the Little Wolf, offended by Baptiste, ordered Baptiste out of the) house. The old servant not taking the dismissal of a baby much to heait, remained ; and the nest morning per forms his services as usual. Little Wolf, fu rious, appeals to grandmamma. Grandttw ma, indignant at this baby invasion of her authority, upholds Baptiste. “Very wet!!” lisps Little Wolf in an ag ony of passion, “then you must -choose,!®- tween him and me I If he stays I go.” True to his word the young autocrat dis appeared that very night, and was only re covered when he had wandered three good leaguesaway on the Toulouse road. Another time also he started off. This was when M. le Comte de Raousset Boulhon, senior, came to take him to the Jesuits’ College at Fri. bourg; and papa Boulhon was a man so cold, so stern, so severe, that even the Little Wolf was daunted, and preferred the woods and hunger to that iron face and icy heart. This time he was two nights in the forest; but the old count caught him at last, and hauled him off to Fribourg. The Jesuits received him kindly, and edu. cased him judiciously. He had been eight years at the college, and had never received I a punishment in any shape, when, one day— he was seventeen nnw—the reverend father ordered him to kneel during the evening les son, as an expiation of some collegiate of fence of which ha had been guilty. “I will only kneel before God,” said he to the father Gralice. “You must obey, or leave the college,” an. Bwered the father. “My choice is made,” replied Gaston, and ha left the college that very evening. A short time afler this he came of age. His father called him into his study, and in the presence of a notary, gave him up all the accounts of his minority, putting him in immediate possession of the fortune devolving on him through bis mother, and taking bis receipt with the terrible formality and autom aton-like stolidity of his character. Gaston remained a short lime with his father after this; but the severe rule of the old royalist was not much lo his taste; and, in a few months the young count de Raoussetßoulfaon, handsome, ardent, rich, accomplished and generous, found himself in the full flood of Parisian temptation and Parisian excess. He was not long in wearing off the thin lacker of modesty and humility with, which his col. iegiate education might have covered his natural impetuosity ; not long' either in for sakmg the white flag, in allegiance to which t .i! r• l ” brou S ht U P> f° r ,be tri-ooior and he faith of la jeune France. A year of ansian life sent him down to his father’s ease a very different being to what he was even when be I eft n. From the royalist c 00-bay had emerged the Republican f D _ y. Papa Bouibon was horrified. After inner, while Gasion smoked his cigar on the erraoe, he said to his wife (Gaston’s mother ■ °' r aw j bls mother had died when he was an infam.) Madam, it will be painful for me (o dis pute with my son ; impossible lo support his Pposmon. You see him!

P rou d of it, and it added not a little lo auty ; but the old man was not one to (0 ‘ Gaston yielded; end the nest ornmg appeared with a smooth chin, Monsieur,” said the count to him, “I thank 7 °“ tor your deference lo my wishes. ,r : THE AGITATOR. &tbotsV to tlje Extension of tpt mveu of iFmOom anij tpt gptezO of f&ealtfjs Metotm. ■WHILE THESE SHALL S£ A WRONG UNSIGHTED, AND UK TIL “MAH’S INHUMANITY TO KAN” SHALL CEASE, AGITATION HOST CONTINUE. /VOL. IV. A few days after this, he said again to hia wife; “Madam, I authorize you to tell my son, that he may lei hia beard grow again. Afler duly considering the mailer, I do not see any objection to it.” Gaston, charmed, looked up his razors; but the old man soon grew disgusted and im patient at the unseemly stubble that necessa rily prefaced the full-grown beard. “Madam,” he said, one evening, “deci dedly a beard does not become Gaston. 1 "pray you, tell him to shave it off again,”- For an answer to ibis request, Gaston went up stairs, packed up bis trunks, and started that night for Patis. The father and son never met again. Returned to Parts, Gaston plunged'ElUh even fiercer passion and more reckless li cense, into the dissipations and vices of his class; realizing in himself all the mad ex travagances which Leon -Cozlao, Belzac, Kock, and others, have described as belong ing to the “lion” of the nineteenth century. Of course, his fortune was soon dissipated, and he had to take to various unpoelical means of earning a simple subsistence. At last, wearied’ with his position, and having in him a fat nobler character and larger nature than the Ufa of- tha Boulevards could satisfy, be resolved on going lo Algeria; there to settle and colonize on a grand scale. Gaston de Raousset could do nothing in miniature. His father died about this lime, and theaddi tional portion which came into his hands helped him on wonderfully in Algeria. His life was by no means dull or uninter esting there. He made himself renowned as one of the most daring sportsmen of the col ony ; be performed many brilliant actions as a military volunteer; and be kepi a kind of open house for all who cared to accept bis almost regal hospitality. He also wrote a political pamphlet, which attracted considera ble notice, and procured him the favor of the new governor of (Algeria, the due d’Aumale. All was going on merrily when the revolution of eighteen hundred and forty-eighl broke out; and Gaston de Raousset, like many others, was crushed and ruined by the blow. But Gaston was none the less republican be cause the republic had destroyed his fortunes. He was not one to hunt with the hounds for the moment ol their puccess, unless he could, join heartily in the game; and his speeches to the electors of the Bouches des Rhone, and of Vaucluse, his articles in the journal wh.ch he edited more than a year, his whole conduct and language bound him publicly lo the cause of liberty, though he made but linle personal gain out of his advocacy. For, he failed at the general election, and he failed at the election for the Legislative Assembly. Disgusted at his non-success, he quilled Paris and France for the golden land of California. He sailed from Southampton on the seven teenth of May, in the Avon, going as a steerage passenger among sailors and ser vant. It was a hard trial for his pride ; also for one of his luxurious habits ; but the other French gentlemen on hoard soon found out his real value, and, steerage passenger as he was he associated with the cabin passengers as their equal—which assuredly he was, and somewhat their superior. At San Francisco be turned fisherman and fish salesman ; then he was a lighterman, working hard from morning to-night, m lading and unlading ships; and lastly, he went off lo Los Ange los and San Diego to buy cows for the pur pose of reselling them at an emormous profit at San Francisco. He made the journey many times ; once striking off on a solitary voyage of discovery. But his cow-selling ended disastrously, though it gave him a clear knowledge of the country, and enabled him to mature the great project he bad con ceived. The weakness of the Mexican gov ernment, and the hatred of the people for the Americans, gave him the idea of forming a Sonnra, “a valiant French barrier,” which should both protect Mexico against the United States, and form the nucleus of an important French colony, Mr. Dillon, the French con sul at San Francisco, was consulted on this project. He entered into it warmly ; gave M. de Raousset an introduction to leading people able lo help him ; and our hero left for Mexico to lay his plans before the bouse of Inker, Torre <fe Company bankers. This was the project proposed: The mines of Arizona, which had been abandoned for a long while, owing lo the terrible neigh hoood of the Apaches Indians, were known as (he richest and most easily worked in all Sonora, The Mexican government was to grant these mines to Raousset, and he was to free them from the Indians, develop their re sources, and make them the nucleus of French emigration. In about two months’ time, the Restaurodora Company was formed, and a formal concession of the land was made to it by General Arista, president of the Mexican republic. Two months after, Raousset signed a private treaty with the directors of the company engaging to land at once at Guay mas, in Sonora, with a hun dred and fifty armed men under military or ganization, to explore and take possession of Arizona and her mines; the society under taking the cost of the expedition, sending ammunition and provision to Guaymas, and to Saric—half way between Guaymas, and Arizona. For his share, Raousset was to have half of the land, the mines and the place already found and lo be found. M. Augiiar, governor of Sonora, and M. Le. vaeseur, French minister at Mexico, were members of the Restauradora Society ; fur nished with powerful letters of introduction and protection, notably to General Blanco, military chief of Sonora, our hero and bis little band disembarked at Guaymas, in June, eighteen hundred and fifty-iwo. Immediately on landing, be wrote to Gen* era! Blanco, who had been apprised before- WELISBOROa TIOGA COUNTY, PA., THURSDAY MORNING, MARCH 25, 1858. hand by M. Levasseur of the expedition. The general feigned astonishment, ignorance and hesitation ; and commanded Raousset to wait inactive at Guaymas until bf had made up his mind what he should do with him and his followers. The minister remonstrated ; Raousset complained; the general was firm. For a rival company had been formed in Mexico to dispute the possession of Arizona with the Restauradora Society; and Blanco and the leading men of Guaymas belonged to it. After a month spent in inaction, luxury and rapid demoralization of the whole band, Raousset went alone to Hermosilla, where his volunteers were lo join him. But his troops fell into disputations and anarchy (by the way ; and Raousset had to gallop bade ;o near Guaymas, to rally, rate, and reform them. At Hermosilla he made an example of some of the ringleaders, whom he dis missed with contempt, and the little band fell again quietly under bis control. On the fif teenth of August they arrived at (he Puebla de Santa Anna, en route to Saric, where food and stores awaited them ; end there Raousset received a note signed by Blanco, and ad dressed to the department, which “required the French to renounce their nationality ; or, in case of refusal, they were lo be forced to re-embark.” M. de Rsousset refused to obey this dictum, or to accept the alternative; and he and his men pushed on lo Saric, where the two dragoons brought them the general’s final and irrevocable decision, that they must either become. Mexican soldiers without pay —as such they might claim (he mines—or they might be still Frenchmen, but strangers, and incapable of possessing land, according lb the ancient law of Mexico; or they might reduce their band to fifty men, under a. re sponsible Mexican chief, in which case they might march at once lo Arizona and take possession of the mines in the name and for the service of the Restauradora Company. Raousset assembled his men, read them the conditions of the general, and asked what course they would take? They unanimously refused Blanco’s proposition, and determined on continuing the expedition according to the terms of the agreement made with the Res tauradora Company. The prefect of Altar, under whose jurisdiction the Saric war in cluded, next forbade further march, 01 future possession to these armed French immi grants; and Col. Gimeuez not only added insult to bis compatriot's breach of faith, but even wrote privately lo Lenoir, Raousset’a senior, lieutenant, to urge him >o seize the command of (be troop, and deliver them over', lo the Mexican authorities. Lenoir gave ihtf letter to Raousset who read it aloud to the] band; and they, for all answer, cried “To" arms 1” with more vigor than prudence. Raousset restrained them for the moment; but further correspondence with the Mexi cans having proved to him that nothing was to be got by patience or by 'parley, he de clared war. On the twenty-third of Sep tember, he and his men quitted Saric, and marched back on Hermosilla, slopping for a week at La Madeleine was a young girl, fair as a Saxon, tall, proud and beautiful. Some one ai her father’s attacked the character of Raousset. She defended him, although her 'father, being one of the principal authorities of Sonora, was officially his enemy. An old lady said satirically : “My dear Antonia, are you seriously in love with this pirate chief?” “Yes,” answered Antonia, rising and dra ping herself iu her rebozo, “I do love this pirate, as you call him. Yes ; I love him !” The next evening Antonia, in the sight of six thousand people, went to the pirate-count’s camp, and into the lent-. In eight days Hermosilla was reached ; and in an hour after the preliminary parley with Novara, the temporary prefect, the French—with a severe loss of officers and men—were masiers of the town, and the war was fairly begun. As (he Norihern Sono rians bated the present government and fa vored Ihe French emigration, it seemed as if it would be the signal for a general revolt. Perhaps it would have decided the question had Raousset been enabled to follow up the advantage he had gained ; but unfortunately for him, he fell sick immediately after the battle, and, more dead than alive, was car ried back to Goaymas by his men, utterly demoralized by the want of their officers. A short distance from Guayroaa a messenger from M. Calvo, a French merchant, prayed de Raousset not to advance further ; but to see the General and to patch up some kind of treaty which should prevent further blood shed. -Raousset was marching on Guaymas, and would have surely taken it, even in the present enfeebled state of his band, as it was totally undefended and unprotected. Ra ousset obeyed the suggestion; but no good came of it; and, in the evening, his sickness increased, so that for weeks he was insensi ble, and hovering between life and death. When he recovered he found that the com pany had treated with General Blanco, and bad accepeted forty thousand piastres for tha evacuation of Sonora. As soon as he was able Raousset went to San Francisco to organize another expedi tion : and at this moment Walker, the fili buster, offered him the command of his troops in Lower California, which offer be refused. Arista now gave up the presidency of the Mexican republic which Santa Anna as sumed. The Frenchman believed in Santa Anna, and hoped as much as he believed. But the two men quarrelled in (i)eir inter views ; and de Raousset in revenge entered into a plot against Santa, which was discov ered ; the plotter himself receiving timely intimidation of bis betrayal and so able to escape the doom which else would have overtaken him then. He returned to San Frtncisco; still with Sonora, t be mines of Arizona and Antonia in his bead, and he worked his plan so well that in the middle of May, eighteen hundred and fifty-four, he sailed for Guaymas, prepared to take his own course for weal or woe. He began bis jour ney by garroling the American captain, who wished lo delay the start owing to the terri ble weather; and on the twenty-eight of June, he landed at Guaymas. His first measures were abortive; but his presence the French soldiers and emigrants in the town to the last degree. Mexican folly and insolence were not wanting to exasperate ibis French pride and rapacity, and soon a strug gle between the two parties was inevitable. Fights in different part of the town inflamed the bad blood already roused; and when a body of armed Indians and a large number of troops from the interior arrived to strength en the Mexicans, all hope of peace was at an end. The French soldiers clamored for war—for a sudden onset and the leadership of the Count; Raousset, nothing loth, urged on the scheme, of which he undertook both the responsibility and the command. After three hours’ hard fighting the insurgents laid down their arms ; Raousset broke his sword, and was conducted as a prisoner to the Con sul’s house. It had been a combat between four hundred on the insurgents’ side snd eighteen hundred on the Mexican. Ten days after Raousset was tried and condemned, and in two days was executed. He refused to allow his eyes to be bandaged, and met his death with a calm, grave courage that had something truly heroic in it. He fell at the first volley,and (he Sonorians lamented him as the fallen defender of their Independence. Here were grand talents and a rich fioture lost, which under more favorable circumslan ces might have revolutionized a hemisphere. His biographer, Henry de la Mndelene, calls him a “Cortes slain at the outset;” and a second Cortes he might indeed have Iproved, had he known the material out of which man fashions success. How an Ungovernable Temper was Controlled. —Mr. ClayiOn, author of a book on the Crimean campaign, met in bis journey with a strong-minded woman. He says: “We next touched at Malta, taking on board a few fresh passengers in lieu of some we landed there. Among the new comers was a lady of a most violent temper, so un governable that she hated morally all who did not agree entirely with her ideas upon everything. Her husband informed us that just before his marriage he was warned of the -lady’s fiery disposition c and to test the accu racy of the information, one evening, as he sat next to her at dinner, he managed clever ly to jog the servant’s elbow, as a plate of mock-iurtie soup was offered her, which of course was upset over the young lady’s while dress of tulle lace. No complaint, not even a frown, being evinced, the delighted suitor concluded that what he had heard was a mis take, and that his inamorata had the temper of a lamb that had been fed upon mashed po; taloes, and as harmless as water gruel. So the marriage look place ; but soon the lady’s real character displayed itself, as is always the case after marriage, but never before, and his wife, like a human Siromboli, was sub ject to fiery eruptions every ten minutes at an average. “How is it, my dear,” said the happy husband, “that having such a bad lem per, you stood the ordeal by soup so well ?” “Why,” answered the lady. “I may have appeared indifferent at the time, but, good heavens ! you should only have gone inlo my room a little while afterwards and seen the marks of my teeth on the bed post.’’ Not Bad.—A Southern gentleman owned a slave, who was a Universalis!. On one oc casion he illustrated the intellectual character of his religion in the following manner: A certain slave had obtained a license of the Baptists to preach. He was holding forth in the presence of many of his colored breth ren on one time, when he undertook lo des cribe the process of Adam’s creation.

School Journal. The Rights of Teachers and Pupils, opinion OF JUDGE SMYBBB. Commonwealth ns. Alfred Hopple. —ln the Court of Quarter Sessional of Bucks Co. Indictment for Assault and Battery. CB&EOB OP COURT —SJtVSGR, P. 3. The Defendant is indicted for Assault and Battery on Asher Collins. The case arises under the following stale of fdils: The Prosecutor, Collins, is | a Teacher of one of the public schools in Warrington ts’p. in this county. The Defendant, who resides in another sub-district of the ideate township, came to the School of the Prosecutor, and representing himself to be twenty-one years of age, applied, nevertheless,! jbr admission into the school. He produced no order or certificate from the Directors,! entitling him to admission ; and according td this own show ing, was not legally entitled thereto. This'ts proven by a member of the Board, and is not denied. The Prosecutnr, however, agreed to re ceive him, but on the express condition, that he should obey the teacher arid conform to all the rules of the school, in all lawful things.” ’ ' j On a certain Friday afternoon, the Defend ant being in the act of repeating an exercise in Grammar, which the teacher did not hear, or was not satisfied with, was.direcled by the latter to repeal it, which he did, and was then directed to do so again. This ted to a contro versy between them, in the cdurse of which the defendant, according to the testimony of some of the witnesses, expressed himself in terms distepeclful to his teacher —and was di ie,cted to lake his seat. This he did; but conlinuetkp use disrepeolful language towards Mr. CollinsV in regard to thd [subject of the controversy, and refusing to cjtop the subject and be quiet, after the teacher had, as.we conceive, very mildly desired} him to do so, and his great physical superiority, together with his manifestation of a spirit of resist ance, making it a hopeless attempt to resort to the usual methods of correction, he was at length directed by the teacher to leave the room. This he defyingly refused; and, to avoid a personal struggle, orj the example of successful defiance of his authority in the presence of his scholars, the teacher dismis sed the school. - I, There was no session of theschool on Sat urday. On the following Monday morning, the defendant at the usual hour, csme to the school and took his accustomed seal, walking up the room, as Mr. Collins testifies, with a taunting air and defiant manner, although other witnesses say they observed nothing of the kind, 11 After the opening exercise; consisting of the reading of a part of the; word of God, Mr. Collins desired the defendant to come up to his desk, in the hope of extracting from him, some expression of contrition for his be havior on Friday previous, which would jus tify him, in permittipj*, him I to remain -in school. Being asked whether he was not ashamed of his behavior or sorry for it, the answer was “No, sir-ee / NpJ more than you are!’’ He was then told again, that be must leave the school, • j [ ' This he refused and neglected to do; where upon the teacher laid his band gently on his shoulder to pul him it; and jhe defendant at the same lime grasped the prosecutor by the arm, and in this position they moved towards the door. On passing the ; sill or threshold, Collins says he gave Hopple (a push, with a view to break his hold on bis arm and disen gage himself. He did notj succeed in this, and both (ell together. Hopple uppermost. He says the latter then throttled him, whilst they were struggling on lhe:gfound, and con tinued to do so, until one of (the larger boys pulled him off. : | i Some pi' the witnesses say -that after they rose, Collins struck or struck ;al Hopple with both his hands at once.. This he denies; but it appears from all the evidence, that after all this had taken place, and whilst Mr. Collins was in the act of returning (into the school room, the latter in an angry a|nd violent man ner followed him_up, and kicked and struck him several times. - j| What is an Assault and Battery ? An Assault is an intentional attempt to do violence or injury to the person of another; and a Battery is where, in’ such an attempt, the defendant actually touches the person of another in a rude, insolent, pii angry manner, without any legal excuse or justification. A man has a light to defend his own per son against any illegal violence; but he may not, even then, go beyond the limiis of so much force as is necessary for that end.— For any excess beyond (bat, prompted by anger or revenge, be is liable! in law, as if he were the original aggressor. \ This is on ihe principle of the danger that ‘would result to society, if men were at liberty to avenge their own wrongs. I I j. “Order is heaven's first law,” we are told Jrder . .leaven. , are tola. To its maintninance, discipline and subordi nation are indispensible; obedience to taw, whether in the family, the school or the Stale, is,of the very essence of liberty. This in volves the duty of respect lb lawful authority, in all these several relations of man to his fellow. Power, uncontrolled! by law is des potism. Freedom, unrestrained by law is an archy. , i - Apply this to our public schools. The of fice of the teacher is to impart instruction r the province of the pupil is reverently to re ceive it. The duty of the teacher is to main tain order and discipline in liis school; With out it, study would be impossible and instruc tion out of the question. The duty of the pupil is to submit himself respectfully, to the authority of his teacher and (the rules of the school.

If the teacher inflicts a cruel and barbarous punishment,.out of ail proper* lion lo ibe offence, and prompted by anger or passion, he is amenable to the criminal law. What more is required than this for the , proper protection of the pupil, against any abuse of authority on the part of the teacher? Shall each pupil, as oflen as he seer fit ta fancy himself wiser than his preceptor, be al lowed to be disrespectful, (hen contumacious, end finally rebellious 1 Manifestly, the mode and measure of in struction must be left to the experience and wisdom of the teacher; and he is the sole judge as to the manner in which he shall test the proficiency of the pupil, and his attention to his tasks and studies. It seems Co the Couil that this teacher man ifested both good judgment end temper by his conduct on this occasion. By adjourning the school, he avoided a, perhaps, humiliating conflict with a pupil stronger than himself, before his scholars, without at the same time making a concession to a stubborn and rebel lious spirit. Nor do I tee (hat the teacher exacted more then hie duty required, on Monday morning. Had the defendant had right views of tree manliness and dignity, he would then have made the acknowledgement required of him. Choosing to take a defiant attitude, the prose cutor was placed in the dilemma of either permitting his authority to be set at naught, or to require him to make submission or to leave the school. ' He s was not bound to com mit himself to the chances of a doubtful and hazardous personal conflict with his superior in strength, when the latter showed evident signs of a determination to resist, if he therefore, ordered the defendant out, and af ter affording him a reasonable opportunity to go, and he did not, he then placed bia hands on him gently to put him out, and used no more force than was necessary for (hat pur pose, he was guilty of no legal ofieoce, nor in my judgment of any impropriety. Charles Albaugb was recently tried, con victed and sentenced in Cleveland, Ohio, for robbing tba mail; Tba Columbus (Ohio) Gazette, says : “Charles Albaugh is only SO years of age, and the events of the past few months will fill an important chapter in his life’s history. On Christmas day he eloped with bis land* lord’s daughter, a Miss German, in her six tenth year, went to Alexandria, Pq«. and was married. Ao eSbrt was made In keep the affair secret, but it was discovered by the girl’s parents, who wens highly incensed at their daughter's imprudence. On the 28th of January, Mr. Prentiss, the United Stales Mail Agent, arrested Albaugh upon a charge of robbing the mail. He was taken to Cleveland, tried, convicted and sentenced before the United Stales Court, and upon reaching Cardington, on bis way to the Pen itentiary, the young wife came aboard the cars to bid farewell to her convict husband. The meeting was a painfully affecting one. She begged him to keep up his spirits, to make a firm resolve to do his whole duty while in prison. She vowed to stick to him though all the rest of the world should for* sake him ; ’for,’ said she, ‘Charley, we are both young; we may have years of happi ness in store for us, and when your time has expired, we can go to some other land where the offense will not be known, where we can live happily together, and earn an honest livelihood. The poor girl nerved herself to the task, and, as she wiped the tears away from the cheeks of her young husband, she never whimpered. The car was full of pas sengers, who; witnessed the scene with tearful emotion.
