[ComiponJcnco oflbc Jlcvelllo, TRAIN TOCK CHILDREN AT HOME. \Ve were strongly impressed with the importance of training children at home a short lime since. We were traveling through a neighbor* hood in the Southern'part of Switzerland county one beauiilnl Sabbath morning, when weyameto a neat, humble and pleasant looking church, where the people were gathering for service, and as we lake great picas* uro in going to chorch wo concluded to stop with them dating service. Wo went dn and took a seat, as It happened facing the ladies. Now to be benefited by a sermon it is far .batter to face the preacher, as a per* son’s mind is apt to be decoyed from the subject. Such was my condition on that occasion. j. After singing and prayer, the "preacher proceeded to take bis text; somewhere, 1'knew then where it | was. bul l acknowledge that I had ; forgotten it . before the close of thoj meeting; my mind was drawn offj from the subject by the confusion! made by the children, of which there | was a great number, and these cer-; tainly were an unusual confusion —: they were running in every direction i over the house t and crying; and mothers were using every possible means to pacify them. What pat ience women . have! But oho lady we noticed who it appeared had two to manage, after, coaxing and scolding for some time'to no effect, like llie rest of fdiort-fcighted mortals, got out of patience, and took them out. Soon after that could bo heard a noise something like dusting n coat, the squalling of two yonng ones, and the scolding of a vexed mother, at which lime the preacher came to a long pause in his discourse; after which he preached with perhaps some difficulty. The meeting wound up very nicely; the discourse was delivered by an excellent preacher. But such confusion must be very annoying to a speaker as well ns the audience. However, we should make all reasonable allowances for children, and toko them to church os often as possible; but endeavor to train them when at home in the way they should go, but never ro>ort to the rod while at church. ‘ Usclb Jon.

I ITDI3 ABOUT IDE GREAT BATTLE, j Montebello and Castaggie were re-oc-cupied by the Austrians os soon as evacuated by Marshal Baraguay D’HUliers. Up to the present time, the route taken ( by this officer on leaving Montebello is iabsolutely unknown at Paris, but every 'one will comprehend that-whatever this ! movement may be, it is a strategy belonging to the general plan. It is stated that the Austrians had one hundred and eighty thousand men, white the allied forces did not exceed one hundred and thirty thousand. The Austrians admit that they bad Tour Generals and five Stuff Officers wounded. The Austrian accounts relative to the baltlej stale that a series of battles occurred with varying success on bot h sides, but with the general result undecided, up to the night of the 6tb, with great losses on the part of both French and Austrians. Rumors had reached France and England detracting from the accounts of the victories of the allies. . A portion of the French army was commanded by thetmperor Napoleon in person. , It is believed that Gen. Hess commanded the Austrians. '■ The rumor,is again current, that England and Prussia would interfere and establish peace, as soon as the French hod entered Milan. ' Magenta, where the battle look place, is only twelve miles from Milan. - The Austrians acknowledge ttiat a battle has-been fought, but slate that the result |was undecided. -■ They acknowledge the evacuation of Milan. The London Times ofJuneSth says: This hard fight is even yet undecided, but on the whole, the French have the best of it. The Austrian account of the battle, via Vienna, June Gth, says: There was a fierce battle at Turligo and Ruffalora. In both actions, at first, only the brigades of the first corps were engaged, but they were .subsequently reinforced. In the afternoon of the same day, the third Austrian iorps took part m the action, when there was very hard’fighting. The Austrians have taken many prisoners, The loss on both sides was very greaL The. Austrians had font Generals and five staff officers wounded, and one Major kilted. The losses of the French were-Gen. Espinasse killed, and five Marshals end Generals, wounded. ■ The London Times says there was very hard fighting at Buffiilora, with varying success. The battle lasted till’late at night, and was continued on the following morning at Magenta. There had been a general revolt at Milan, end the people had declared‘in favor of the King of Sardinia. The Auslriars retired from Milana but the city bad riot yet been occupied by the French.' % Later rumors detract from the French' victory at Magenta. '

Last Wednesday Mr. Sheds was arraigned before ’Squire Coffin,'of this city, on the criminal charge of seduction. He was held to boil in five huadreiTiloIlars, for his appearance this morning for trial. Accordingly, he appeared before the 'Squire for trial on this charge, but the ’Squire turned the case over to the Mayor, before whom the case is now undergoing investigation. A large crowd'is in attendance. The young lady and her parents, and numerous other witnesses are present, ami counsel are employed on both sides. An inlensfc'interest is manifested by the community. It is now prosecuted as a State case, on the charge of seduction; nod the penally, I believe, if guilty, is the penitentiary, P. S. The case has been in progress ail day.' Tbe.cdurt, so far, has been occupied in heating the evidence of the young lady. She tells a sira* pie, straightforward, artless story. She testifies as to .a marriage contract; and particularly that ’ he promised early marriage, if there should be any bad result from their improper intimacy: and she mentions limes nod circumstances in an apparently cindld and truthful manner. Her testimony, hast : very much darkened the prospect of bis acquittal, and changed the minds of many as to his innocence.

' J. Scott was once removed from bis office, an charges made against him; and by. what hocus pocus he got back again, I never enquired. But the people, hoping the lesson would lead him to reform his careless habits, gave him lime to do so. No reformation having taken place, it is to be Loped the Post Master General will cause the old account to be footed up, and the new added to it, so that ajtnul settlement may be made, between him and the public, who pay Unde Som full prices for services so poorly performed. - J. Scott says, "if the mail company fails to ptiforra tAeir duly you have jour re dress. The mail agent has no control over the boat, nor the officers of the boat." No; but if the boat goes by a-post-office where the mail should be left, it is. the agent’s duty to report the fact, and every fact of the kind to the Poet Matter Ventral. Has he done his duty in ibis’ run' ter? To conclude—1 have neither time nor inclination to bandy words with the mail agent, or mail boat company in regard to the neglect of their official public duties. Vhave no perianal accounts \o seU.e with .any of them. 1 have traveled a great deal on the mail boats and packets during the post twelve years, between Cincinnati and Louisville, and have in no instance had cause to complain of captains dr clerks, on any of them; and but once, I believe of a subordinate, whom the capr tain instantly dismissed. Ail the present officers on the mail boats and packets, so faros 1 know are courteous and gentlemanly in the performance of their respective public duties. They have, always treated me well, and I therefore cheerfully speak well of them. <: • Mr. Cassady, the other, mail agent, though formerly indulging so freely in his 'favorite beverage, as to interfere with his official duties, has, I am told, thoroughly reformed. 1 have heard ho'complaints of him, of recent dateo, and sincerely hope it is so.

Whilst we freely oilniiil tlai our Indiana neighbors are making,rapid strides in the improvement of the phyiscal character of their state we ore sometimes pained to note the neglect of the mental training of the people. Tbeymayfell the forest —subdue the prairies, cause towns and cities.to me from the wilderness, fill the atr with the musical sound of machinery, and the busy hum of manufacturing industry— beautify the earth, and cover its rich ;surface with the bounteous fruits thereof. .They may in short make' their state in appearance, a garden of Eden—a hive of industry—their people tnajr wear all the outward graces which please the eye; ; yet If the mind — the (ablet upon which is written the great and noble purpose of life, is left unpolished and uncultivated, the structure wilt not have attained its perfect form, nor will it re** fleet the true image of the creator. It is the tribute of mind—the power of thought —reason—indeed alt that distinguishes humanity from the brute creation,-, that makes man the representative of his Maker. v Whilst you cannot, perhaps, by any process, short of mental abe ration, deprive him of those distinctive fealuies of his being, a neglect of their proper cultivation, may yet render them of little more'importance than ate the instincts of the brute. To become what God designed he should be, man must be enlightened—be must be developed* to its fullest extent, - To effect this, education Is essential—the school must be brought into requisition—and it must be so arranged as togivc the rudiments of knowledge to the youngest, as well as the advantage of instruction in higher branches to the oldest and mote advanced. Education must be general and universal. This principle we regret 16 see is not yet fully acknowledged by the people of Indiana, Whilsltnuy have taken sonic steps in the right direction; .they have, yet a great deal to do before their me nisi faculties will be fully developed—before their, children wilt be educated as they deserve and as the public interest demands that they shall be. Instead of their schools being maintained for an uncertain and indefinite period, and conducted by indefinite period, and conducted by inferior teachers, they want an organisation that will so far as circumstances of society and population will permit, be constant, regular and permanent, and in charge of those who work for the cause as well,as pay- * ? . We could continue upon the subject, but must desisL We are led to these reminks by the frequent notices we see in our Indiana exchanges of the uncertain duration of schools. Hut a few days since we saw a notice to the effect that (he present term of the school in one of the prominent cities of the Stale would continue but ‘ten’ instead of ‘fourteen’ weeks as at first announced, and the reason assigned was that the fund was inadequate to maintain it for the whole lime, and it was added circulars would soon be sent to parents, and upon the character of the response to thote would depend the question whether the Tull term’ will be opened atari. This looks bad—we don’t like to see it. It looks as though the enterprise and activity of our neighbors had all been diverted to questions of pecuniary gain whilst the minds of the rising generation were to be turned out to take care of themselves. j
