If the dignity, stability, and jier petuity of a country, are based upon the private virttle of the citizens, is he a lover of his country, is he a true patriot, who neglects the culture of the moral faculties of the children of to-day—the men and women of to-morrow —the future citizen and ruler ? ■ Many have been the. causes vsigned for the downfall of the ancient Republics of Greece and Rome. But, after all, their destruction must be attrib uted to the immorality and licentiousness of the public, consequent upon the decay of private virtue—in short, to a lack of the patriotism ol moral culture. And Dr. Dick, than whom, there is no author ity more eminent in such matters, declares that society cannot exist unless a controll ing power be placed upon the will and ap • petite of private individuals; that it is ordained in the eternal constitution of things, that men of vicious principles can not be free ; their passions forge their fet ters. Who, then, does his whole duty to his country, when he Teaves his children to the freedom of their own will—when he instills into their minds no principles of obedience and subordination—when he neglects to teach them, that courtesy is due to all and reverence to some —when he allows them to attend the street schools, the schools of the comer and doggery, amid the darkness and vices of the night, when ho knows that " one sickly sheep soon infests the flock ?" No; such a pa rent is untrue to himself, untrue to his children and society, and untrue to his country and his God. How the subject increases, how deep a shading the picture receives and how the heart sickens and saddens in contemplation of the thought, that these same children must be our fu me guides and govern >rs. | " U'o, to the i.iifl when thy king is a | child" in virtue and morality. l'a.cnte, w »rd to the wise," etc. A. B. C. A .Southern Refugee. Geo. 11. Baker, Esq., the well known au thor, has just published an interestingstate ment of facts obtained from a I iyalSou:h e:ii lady who escaped to the .North, and ! is now in Philadelphia, lie says: The common understanding in the North I is that the southern people are uniteu | agaiust us; that men. women and child- j rcn regard us with a hatred which their . traitorous friends are over ready to justi- j ty, and at which even loyal tuinds do not wonder. '1 his idea will be somew hat mod ified by narrative. Even in the City ol j J Charleston, where the first daring blow was | ) struck against the National authority—a ! | city winch is now looked upon as the every | j focus of the rebellion—there exists a uum- j ber of loyal people who are bold enough j to perform the duties of humanity, despite ! the jeers and threats of their fellow citi- j zens. Ihe lady whose history forms the i subject of my communication was a ' coii j-tent and out-spoken Union woman j from the time of the secession convention until the day of her departure from j Charleston; uor was she without allies, j who sus.ained her with their sympathy, j and.put into her hands the means by which j she accomplished great good towards our suffering prisoners of war. The facts which the lady relates aresus tainc I by documentary evidence, princi- 1 pally letters from the prisoners themselves, ; which would fill a small volume. All these ' I have examined with care, and compared I with the clear and truthful story of the lady, so that I have not a doubt of theac- ; curacy of my statement. Many of the ! letters are from officers of the army and j navyof theUnited States, who were known t to be prisoners of war in Charleston at the time of the occurrence, und they all breathe t one spirit of thankfulness towards the j good angel which Providence sent to them : in the midst of horrors without parallel ! 1 anywhere but in the South. Souieof the prisoners declare that they owe theirlives entirely to her exertions, and all of them express warmth of gratitude that must arise from very deep feelings. When the first Union prisoners were sent to the Charleston jail the universal sentiment amongst the rebel citizens was, j '• Now we have some of these Yankees iu our power, Ictus treat them according to | their deserts." To the shauie of the sold- I iers who had the prisoners iu charge, they permitted themselves to be iufluenced by I the popular clamor. were treated with the' ut- j most or rather, tliuv v.oie -liu! up in a filthy jail, an 1 sys:emar cally neg'ect c 1 in every way, a state of things to wh'eli any trea'ment, however eve< i w iM have been rne-e ful. They tre-2 s- I of iei'cl tlitig <_ ,u. /were almost epricei of water, they weve nev er permitted to pass the confines of their filthy chamber, they were abused in per | boo, aud they tjrere threatened with instant, j death on the slightest infraction of the military rules of the jail. Hearing of this deplorable slate of affairs, the lady before mentioned obtained access to the prisoners by means ijot necessary to speci fy, and found such condition to be eren worse than it had been described to her. She umiediately set herself to the task of alleviating their suffering. She secret ly collected from theUniou men of Charles ton thirty-five hundred dollars, to which sum she added five hundred dollars of her own small fortune, and with this money she from time to time purchased such pro visions and comforts as she thought nec essary for the prisoners, and privately in troduced her stores during her daily visits ito the jail. Nor did her kind offices end | here. She and her children faithfully j nursed those of the prisoners who were sufferin" i?!'' l wounds or with disease, and 1 expended their own domestic i ! alleviating the axacting wants of tile sic-k j j bed. '1 lie-e scenes of misery were suffi ciently trying to a kind hearted woman, j but uiore awaited her. Oil the arrival at Charleston of the pris ' oners from the captured steamer Isaac j Smith, the lady prepared herself with a large supply of provisions, and entered the jail. The first sight that met her eyes was the body of a stalwart, athletic man, lying upon the floor, perfectly naked and appar ently dead. On stopping to examine him. she found that he WBS not dead, but in a stupor, produced by extreme suffering.— She applied a large bowl of tea to his Tips, when, to her astonishment, he seized it and drained it almost at a draught. This man had not had so much as a morsel of food or a cup of water for three days. He was terribly wounded upon the head, >nd from the wide and putrid wound she wash ed a double-handful of flies and maggots, 'i he second man she saw lying in a corner of the prison, almost naked, with hisliuibs twisted together as if he were then in the agonies of.death. Observing that the la dy was making towards this sad object, the jailor said : ' You need not trouble yourself about that tnan. The doctor says he has not five minutes of life in him.' So the atly passed onto the other suffer ers who might be benefited by her care.— She found that they were all in mortal need of her services, but noneasshe afterwards discovered, to her horror, was in such need as the miserable man whom she had just passed by, thinking his case hopeless.— On visiting the prison the'next day, she found him still lying in the position in which she had left him, alive und smear ed over with the filth which the poor crea ture in the frenzy of famine, had gather ed from the floor and attempted to devour. This man, notwithstanding all the lady could do for him, died at the end of an other day.l know that this scene is re volting to common sensibility, but it is not given to incite sentimental pity nor plea* ant tours. It is tho stern, hard, terrible truth, which the men of the north should know when they come to deal with the niiscrtjants who inhabit the doomed cit} wherein this tradgedy was enacted. As long as the Union prisoners remain ed in-Charleston the lady was assiduous in her attentions to them ; but there came an order removing them to Columbia. Then the last tic of her affection for Charleston was broken ; she prepared to rjut a home | which she had occupied for twenty years, nd if possible to make her way North.— j Already she had received warnings from her friends, an I notices to quit the town ! froiiit her enemies. She ami her children I wore puiv ued wi.h 1iy.,,» and jeers as they ; pas oil al<>ng the sticcts. 'J hey were de i ii"mice I as •• damned yankccs,' and on one ! occasion some ckivalrlc soli of the Soulh I took up what in thcirexaggcrated language i they term a "rock'" and hurled it after the I helpless womun. Gathering together her | movable household goods and her scanty i fund, now much reduced, with her family ! of four young children, she, at great ex j i ense, made her way to Richmond, and •as permitted to cross within lines. »1 E l> : tln Wayne runty, Oliln, on tho 22it. nf January, 1 WW, 1 Mm.

By very large oQtlays for early and authentic advices by telegraph and otherwise from Its own correspondents i with the various armies of the Union, special ef forts to furnish snch Information respiting Market*, new discoveries or improvement* In Agriculture, i Ac,, as must specially interest formers.we have assidlously laborod to make a Journai calculated lo mwt the wants and subserve the interests of the Producing Classes.— That end we have at least measurably attained; for no other newspaper exists In America or Europe which is habitually read by nearly so many farmers and their fam ilies as is Tnx TRIBUNE io-day. We shall laborto Increase both the number and the satisfaction of this by for the ( most numerous class of Its patrons. During the existence of the Whig party, this paper 8U that party, though always sympathizing with the more libera, Anti-Slavery wing" there of. When new Issues dissolved or transf•rmedoldorgnnl *ation« through iLs spontaneous uprising of the people of the Free States against the repudiation of the Ml-sourl Restriction, The Tribune heartily participated In that movement, and was known as Republican. When the long smoldering conspiracy to divide and destroy our country or reduce it entire to complete abasement to the Slave Power culminated in overt treas n and rebellion, it naturally, necessarily regarded resistant# to this con spiracy as paramount to all other considerations, and de voted 'all its energies and efforts tithe maintenance of our Union. In etery great controversy which has divided our country, it has been found on that side which natu rally commands the sympathy and support of the large majority of school-houses and the decided minority of grog-sho* s. and so doabtlo-s will be to to the last. Ardently desiring and strivln * for the early and endu ring adjustment of our National distractions, The Tribune leaves the time, the nature and the conditions of that ad justment implicitly to those lawfully In authority, con fiding In their wisdom and patriotism, anxious to aid them to the utmost in their arduous responsibilities and not to embarrass them even by possibility. Firmly be lieving in the Apost« He rule—' First pure then peacea ble—holding that the total and final extirpation of Sla very is the true and only absolute cure for our National ills— that any expedient that stops short of this can have but a transient and Illusory success—we yet pro pound no th-ory of "reconstructlon" and Indorse none that has been" propoundad bv another—wither Sum ner s, nor Whiting's, nor any of the various Copperhead devices for achieving "Peace" by surrounding the Re public into the power of its traitorous foe*—but, exhor ting, the American People *.o have foith in their Govern ment, to re-enforce their armies and replenish their treas ury. we believe that. If they but do their duty, a benign Providence will In due time bring this fearfal struggle to such a close as will best subserve the true greatness of our country and the permanent well-being of mankind WC respectfulv solicit the subscriptions and active exertions of our friends, and of all whose views and con victions aubstnntially with ours.
