The Sc5icrJmaMfi,?s Iw (Iiat Bed. A correspondent of the Xew York Waverly gives the following ns one of the many incidents that befall a "boardin? round sehoolma.ster:"

I have been teaching in Mason coun"tv, in this Sucker State, and this term was '-boarding round." One evening after school one of my little scholars stepped in) to me and said— "Mr. Jones, father said yon would come home with me." "Very well," I replied, and forthwith r-ot out for my pa iron's house which wa? distant some two miles.— Now be it known James Mel Tarry— for such was his name—had two daughters. the pride and envy of the whole community. I had heard so much about them that I was naturally anxious to see them. It. seemed however that I was to be disappointed. "When we arrived I learned that the ''gals bad gone to a party the other side of the creek, so I went to bed grumbling at the luck which deprived me ot seeing them that night. The night had well advanced when I hoard one of the girls come home, passing into the adjoining room, and was warming before some coals, which were alive on the hearth. It seems the old lady and gentleman slept in the same room, but I was not aware of it till then. Having warmed herself, she turned to-leave the room when the old man spoke: "Girls," said he, "the,schoolmaster is in your bed." "Very well," said Sarah, and passing through the room I slept in went up stairs. About an hour had elapsed when I heard Judy, the other one come. She stood at the door along time talk-, 'ing with her "feller,'' then entered softly. Disrobing her feet she entered the room where I lay in her stocking feet carefully undressed herself and coming to the bed prepared to get in. ]STow it happened I lay in the middle and turning back the clothes she gave me a shake and said in a suppressed., whisper: "Lay over Sarah."

I rolled over and whipped the corner of the pillow in my mouth, to keep from laughing. In she bounced but the bed would squeak. The old man heard it and called out— "Judy I" "Sir!" was responded in a faint tone an the bed beside me.

The Schoolmasters in that bed, With one loud yell and "oh heavens!" she landed on the floor and fled with the rapidity, of a deer up stairs. She never heard the last of it I can tell you but probably she learned something about "staying out late a "sparkin" and trying to slip in unbeknown to the old folks.

aSTlt is reported upon pretty good authority that James Gordon Bennett bought the copyright, of Helper's book before he commenced his vigorous attack upon it in the Herald. He win make a good thing of it besides furnishing Democratic members with material out 9f which to make speeches.

There has been 10,000 copies ox the book sold forth ^Southern market alone. —Atlas.

How did it Come?

The members of the Republican party, of Democratic, and those of Whig antecedents, it is notorious differ on many questions of public policy, while they agree only 011 one—that of opposition to slavery. It is palpable that if the slavery excitement was allayed, the Republican party would almost instanly cease to exist. It would dissolve as the mist beforo the morning sun. Seizing upon the general dislike with which the people of the North view the institution of slavery, it has taken advantage of that feeling to build up a one-idea sectional party, composed of men who have no political affinities whatever on the great questions which divided parties prior to the inauguration by the Abolitionists of the anti-slavery crusade, and somo of which are still living issues, and must rise into importance whenever sectional fanaticism shall have somewhat subsided, which day we hope and believe is not far distant.—N. A. Ledger. "If the slavery excitement was allayed the Republican party would cease to exist." That is true. And if the slavery excitement had never been created. the Republican party never would have existed. That is equally true. The excitement created the party.— This is the Ledger's position, and it. is the true one. for if the party had existed before the "excitement it would not dissolve on the disappearance of the excitement. With this truth in mind let us a*k who created the excitement which created the Republican party? When the Ledger will tell us who"'violated twice plighted faith, to use its own language, it will point straight to the author of this excitement born party. There was no Republican party before 1854. In fact there was no party at all but the l^emocratic. There were fragments of the old Whig party, but not built up into an organization. The election of 185had scattered them in irremediable confusion. and until the Democratic part)' proposed the "violation of twice (or •thrice' was it you said, Mr. Ledger?) plighted faith" in 1854. there was actually no organization in existence to oppose that party, in the fall of 1853 there was 110 Republican party In the summer of 1854 there was. Not entirely eliminated from a dozen other v-'leiiients of hostility to the Democracy, it is true, hut still the commandjng clement of the composition. Now what sprouted that party insixmonthp. and nourished it into the gm«t so nearly strangled Democracy then, a Lid will surety do it now? Great popular movements do not start without a cause, and the cause of this movement is to be found somewhere between December, 1853, and May 27th, 1S54.— We need not be at the pains of making asearch'for it. The Ledger knows painfully what it is. The Republican partv. the re fere, according to the .Ledgers logic, and fur once its logic is sound, is the growth of an agitation produced by 1 the Democratic party.

Accepting this Democratic authority for the origin of the Republican party, let usask another question. How came it that when the new party rose up to oppose the Democracy it opposed little but. the slavery issue? The Democracy wasan existing party. The other came up to oppose the Democracy. If therehad been no slavery issue presented by the party existing, there could have been none opposed by the party coming into existence. The Democracy, therefore, must have first made slavery the prominent subject of political differences and discussions, or it could not have been the prominent subject of the new aggregation formed against the Democracy. This is as certain as death. To the Democracy, therefore, belongs the resposibility first of forcing slavery up throng all other issues to a promineucethat dwarfed everything else, and second of making such an excitement on that subject that a new party was created mainly on that one issue.

We have admitted that the Republican party would be dissolved if the slavery agitation were ended. Now why don't the Ledger insist 011 the termination of the agitation? Its partisans in Congress are "agitating" day after day, with no help, and no interference scarcely, from any body, and all the time they, with the Ledger, insis that the end of agitation will be the end of the Republican party. Do they believe what they say, or do they really want the Republican party to continue in existence?—Ind. Jour.

STOP THAT PEEPTNG.—Take our advice and never watch your neighbors. It is a vulgar practice at best. Moreover, it is a very unsatisfactory one.— Listeners, they say, never hear any good of themselves. In the same way peeping folks never see much to gratify their self-complacency and this occasions feelings which do not tend to render life at all more agreeable. But worse than this, in arrogating to yourself the right to watch others,

you

tacitly admit their

right to watch you. And however correct you may be in.your deportment, however unimpeachable your course, there are always points of moment which you prefer to keep to yourself.— There are always circumstances which when fully understood, are honorable but which when grasped, as a watcher must grasp it, in disconnected parts, are susceptible of a sinister interpretation, and your neighbor may not be of as charitable a nature as you I Abandon the habit therefore, of prying into the affairs of others, and you will afford them no prctexc of pTying into your own.

RIOT OIV THE LOCAJfSPORT, PEORIA & BURLINGTON K. R.

Two Irishmen Shot by the Sheriff of the County.

Grreat Excitement!

On Monday last, after the amicable adjustment of all difficulties with the contractors and laborers in Cass county, on the Logansport, Peoria & Burlington Railroad, a locomotive wras despatched from Logansport to the State Line. Reaching a point a few miles east of Monticcllo, it was found that a party of Irish laborers, encouraged doubtless by the highhanded proceeding in Cass, had taken possession of the road bed and torn up the track.— The party seemed to be well armed, and defiantly held possession of the breach. The locomotive backed down to Monticello, and getting the Sheriff of White county and a 2)OSSe aboard, went back to the scene of disturbance. The Sheriff expostulated, with the rioters, and endeavored to dissuade them from their unlawful proceedings, but to 110 purpose. The rioters were bent upon mischief, and with jeers and imprecations held possession of the road bed, and bid the Sheriff and his party defiance. A consultation was held and the law and order party although largely in the minority, determined to force a passage. They advanced upon the rioters, and one or two of them making a show as though they were about to draw weapons, the Sheriff deliberately shot them down. These had no sooner fallen than a panic seized upon the rest and the rioters were quickly dispersed. The track was repaired and no further interruption was apprehended. The two wounded rioters are seriously injured. but it is thought will recover. We understand tlnit from and after today through trains will leave Logansport daily.—Laf. Cour.

ANOTHER UNION MEETING. ROCHESTER, N. Y., Dec. 29.—A large Uuion meeting was held in this city lust evening, which was addressed by James Brooks and Ex-Gov. Hunt.— Resolutions adobtcd were of rather a mixed character, but the principal one is the following:

Resolved That we cannot too strongly rebuke the sentiment that the election of a President by a constitutional majority, having views of pubiic policy with which the minority do not coincide, would furnish a just cause for a dissolution of the Union. Wo, on tho contrary, hold such sentiments to be disorgaizing and traitorous, odious to all patriotic and Union loving men, and disgraceful to the civilization of the age, and wTe hereby give our fellowcitizens East, West, North and South our most solemn word, that whoever may be elected President of these United States, in a constitutional way, shall receive from us, in the lawful discharge of his duties, the same support which we have given to each and all of his predecessors and we hereby declare our firm and unutterable purpose to sustain and protect him in the lawful discharge of his duties from all enemies within or without, at home or abroad.

There was an effort to lay this resolution on the table, but it passed by a large majority, and then the meeting adjourned.

The "Conservative" Element at New Albany. The conservative element predominates at New Albany. At a Christmas dinner on' Saturday, tho 24tli ult., the following resolutions were unanimously adopted.' We quote from tho New Albany Ledger's report:

Resolved, that the Union is a "good thing." Resolved, That our Senators in Congress and our Representatives be requested to use their best efforts to secure the passage of a law "bringing Christmas twice a year instead of once a year, according to the old custom."

Resolved, That a "Union of Hearts and a Union of Hands," is a sure, safe, and reliable means of perpetuating a Union of Lakes and a Union of Lands."

Resolved, That in case tho Union be dissolved we'll retain Christmas and Fourth of July, and as for that "blessed old bunting," the flag of our country, we'll keep the stars, and give tho seceders the stripes.

Our Host and Hostess—May they, like our glorious confederation, multiply by the single rule of two, and never divide until Christmas comes no more.

THE MOUNT VERNON LADIES' ASSOCIATION OP THE UNION.—It appears that the whole amount collected for the purchase of the Mt. Vernon estate, over and above expenditures, is $232,206 08. It is stated that the Association is indebted to the exertions of Mr. Everett for more than one fourth of this sum, viz: §69,004 77 from his oration on Washington §50,042 48, from his fcNew York Ledger connection, $129,94 51 from donations handed to him, §1,690 18 from certain ladies, §20, increase of interest, §5,157 60, total, 69,004 77. The fund enured is sufficientfor the purpose of completing thepuehase of the estate, with §20,000 over to put it in repair.— But a father sum of §140,000 is needed as a fund for future repairs and maintenance.

On!—A convention of Bloomer damsels is reported to have resolved that they will wear short dresses or nothing! What an awful thing it would be, if they shouldn't wear tho short dresses.

CKAWFORDSVILLE, INDIANA, JANUARY 12, 1860.

Proof.

Not many days ago the N. Y. Herald went off into a convulson of outraged decency at an intimation of Senator Wilson's that the editor had bought an interest in Helper's book, jjnd his attacks upon it were advertisements to make it sell. The plausibility of the intimation struck the public at once, and the credit given it every where showed the opinion entertained of the Herald's honesty, and no doubt provoked the furious display of propriety to which we allude What truth there might be in the charge we did not know. We believe we were rather disposed to doubt it, and probably should have remained in that state of dubiety, but for the discovery of very clear evidence that the charge is actually true. We found it in an article abusing Republicans for trying to organize the House with a speaker like Mr. Sherman. The extract is as follows:

They insist upon electing as Speaker Mr. Sherman, who is one of the endorsers of the incendiary and. sedition publications issued from the Treason shop of William H. Ant on, at No. 16 Exrhange place, Neio York.

Mark the particularity with which the name and place of business of the publishers of the Helpers book are given. What is this but an advertisement, inserted in the most conspicuous part of tho paper, and showing an unusual desire to get before the public the right man and the right place to get the book from? It is called "seditious" to be sure, but that only excites attention, and the publisher's establishment is called a "treason shop," but that only raises curiosity. Why did not the Herald call both by hard names, if it must do so, and not tell the public ichere to find them? It drags in, out of all proportion and harmony, the business card of Helper's publishers, and puts it in fiery denunciation of Republicans. Such going out of the way to puolish the place to buy Helper's book was not done for nothing. Who doubts.ifow that the Herald editor has an interest in that book? We do not, though we did at first.—

Welch Triads, by Joab, TUERE are three things that never become rusty—the money of the benevolent, the shoes of the butcher's horse, and a woman's tongue.

Three things not easily done—to allay thirst by fire, and to dry wet with water, to please all in everything that is done:

Three things that are as good as the best—brown bread in famine, well water in thirst, and a great coat in cold.

Three things as good as their better —dirty water to extinguish a fire, a homely wife to a blind man, a wooden sword to a coward.

Three warnings from the grave— "Thou knowest what 1 was thou seest what I am remember what thou art to be."

Three things of short, continuation— a lady's love," a chip fire, and a brook flood.

Three things that ought never to be from home—the cat, the chimney and a housewife.

Three-things in the peacock—the garb of an angel, the walk of a thief, and the voice of the devil.

Three things it is unwise to boast of —the flavor of thy ale, the beauty of thy wife, and the contents of thy purse-

Three miseries of a man house—a smoky chimney, a dripping roof and a scolding wife.

figrThePostmaster General says any Postmaster has a right to burn whatever matter ho finds in tho mail which he deems "incendiary." In speaking of this singularly threatening decision, the Albany Evening Journal says:— "This is imposing very onerous duties upon these gentlemen, and rather dangerous powers. In the despotism of the world, the Censors of the Press are generally intelligent men but a groat many Postmasters at the South (and at the North also, for that matter) are profound blockheads. And yet they are to decide upon what should and what should not, go through the mails! Extracts from the writings of Washington, Lafayette, Jefferson, and Patrick Henry would be tabooed and no man, who exercises hisguaranteed right of freedom of speech, however mildly in protest of wrong, is sure that his utterances can find conveyance south of the Potomac. Tho censorship of despotisms is tolerable compared with that of our glorious Republic."

[From the White Cloud (K. T.) Chief.] Obituary—Imposing Funeral Ceremonies.

DIED—At its late residence in Lecompton, on Tuesday, the 6th inst., of internal mortification, Kansas Democracy, at a tender age.

Kansas Democracy wras an illegitimate child—the result of an illicit intercourse between one Democratic Ad. Ministration and Miss Souri. Drs. Pierce, Douglas, and other distinguished physicians assisted at thebirth while Granny Atchison, Stringfellow, Clay-Pate, and others, acted in the capacity of wet and dry nurses. The parents for along time experienced much difficulty in fixing upon a suitable namo for the newcomer, and soveral were selected, but afterwards dropped. Itwas successively called Border Ruffian, Law and Order, and Pro-Slavery. Finally, some three years sinco, tho name Democracy was bestowed upon it, and more than six months afterwards, itwas christened in tho Democratic Cathedral at Lccompton, Father John Calhoun officiating, and Jack Henderson standing as god-father.

Tho child was never healthy, but was subjcct to fits, caused by tho wicked machinations of one Free State Tarty alias Republican. This villainous fellow threw the child into frequent convulsions, the most dangerous of which occurred on the following dates: October 5th, 1857 January 4th, 1858 August 2d, 1858 October4th,1858 March 28th, 1859 June4th, 1859 October 4tli 1859 November 8th, 1859. The last and fatal spasm occurred Dec-ember 6, 1859, and that day ended its sufferings. Its system had become too debilitated to withstand these shocks, and it had to yield. It strove hard to overcome them, but in vain. It had become a living mass of corruption, and was exceedingly offensive. Drs. Buchanan, Bigler, English, and all the most celebrated Democratic doctors in the country had been consulted, and did all in their power to save it but it was beyond the reach of mortal power.

The funeral ceremonies were of the most imposing description. The proces^On embraced several military companies, numerous friends and mourners,

and a large concourse of citizens. ORDER OF PROCESSION. Baud of Music, playing on horns of

The remains were deposited in the silent tomb, and while the grave was being filled, the congregation sang the beautiful, touching and mournful song of "Bob Ridley." "Then the procession repaired to tho Cathedral, where an impressive and eloquent funeral discourse was pronounced by fjohn, Archbishop Pettit. The text was:

Y-

"Who hath wroe? He that seeketh mixed drinks." The speaker proceeded at some length to caution his hearers against mixed drinks and he especially warned them against mixing it with water. Mixed drink, he said, was probably one great cause of the shattered constitution of the deceased. As an illustration of the boriefi ts of abstain ing from xcd drinks he alluded to himself. Hero he was. strong, fat and hearty—the result, he verily believed, of always taking the pure stuff itself, without mixing it with oven sugar or water.

The wise man from whom he had selected his text, had also, in the same connection, asked the question, "Who hath Red-eyes?" Red-eye was a figurative expression, and had reference to a certain liquor which was in great favor with the ancients. It was tho favorite beverage of the speaker himself. Every Democrat should make it a duty to ask the question, whenever asked to take a drink, "Who hath Red-eye."— And where the Red-eye was, there was the placo to drink: butabove all things if they would shun woe, they should not mix their drink.

After tho last solemn rites were performed over the remains of the deceased, the surviving friends retired to their respective homes, there to mourn in silence ovor their blasted hopes, and seek consolation in drink, which they took care not to mix. They should remember that Avhat is their loss is their country's eternal gain.

Texas Items.

W0 learn from the Houston Telegraph that General Mftabeau B. Lama, exPresident of Texas, died at his residence on the 19th inst., of apoplexy. The Telegraph says:

He remarked to the physician who stood by, "Doctor, I feel very queerly I believe I am going to dio." The Dr. told him pleasantly, he thought not, but the General, a moment after, whirled about on his feet, and fell dead.— This is all we have heard of the occurrence.

The

Telegraph thinks that there were from fifty to sixty poaple frozen to death within the State of Texas during the late cold weather. Of these, at least forty were under the influence of liquor when frozen. There were many thousand hogs, cattle and sheep frozen to death also.

Gen. Houston and family arrived at Austin on the 18th inst. The Intelligencer says:

We regret to learn that Gen. nouston's carriage upset at Walnut Creek, and that his lady was severely injured, having one finger broken, and all the others on one hand dislocated, besides receiving other injuries.

EXTREME COLD WEATHER IN TEXAS. —From every corner of Texas accounts of unprecedentedly cold weather are received and losses recorded. In some places cattle, sheep, and goats died in considerable numbers. In some places even domestic

fowls

were frozen stiff on

their roosts. The Indianola Courier, of tho 17th says that during the recent "cold snap" thousands of fish in Matagorda bay and adjacent waters were chilled to death.

ftg=*The editor of the Clay County Democrat humorously alludes to a fight he had last week with a Republican, in which ho got the advantage, that is ho got a whipping and tho other got nothing.

"W were making energetic efforts to "put him out," but he "got us down" ana would have "wallercd" us, had not the devil (as he always does,) nobly and bravely rushed to our assistance and pulled him off our "pied form' by 'mane force.'

"Oh, my! what a sweet, darling kitty. What is its name?"

It has not been christened yet. "Oh, the dear thing! Do call it afler me call it Julia—won't you?" "I should be very happy to do so, said our gallant friend, "but itisn that kind of a cat!"

Kitty was deposited on the floor in a twinkling, and a couple of young ladies were soon looking around for a good place to faint.

UNIIAPPY SPINSTERS.—Tho ugliest and most mischievous miss we ever knew was Miss-Government. Her sister Miss-Management, is no beauty.— Miss-Demeanor surpasses them both and, while she is uglier and haughtier than either of her sisters, she is still constantly getting "courted." While we have 110 particular liking for MissGovernment, Miss-Management, or

Miss-Demeanor,

we have a decided dis­

liking for Missfortune. She is ever sticking her nose in where it is not wanted. Among these unfortunate misses may be placed Miss-Take, who is generally compelled to bear theblame for the acta of

Miss-Government,

Miss-

Management, Miss-Fortune, and sometimes Miss-Demeanor. As for us, we can endorse and even tolerate any of the above-named misses as well or better than Miss-Ann-Thropy. Of her we have a perfect abhorrence. There is a whole family of misses whose company had better bo avoided for instancej Miss-Chief, Miss-Lead, Miss-Judge, Miss-Quote, Miss-Represent, Miss-Rule, Miss-Trust, &c.
