Mr. CriAHi.ES WOOLLETT, of Chicago, is our'agent to procure subscriber*and^|crti«cment« in that city. arte. «ala*fc—E«»r Discipline. jl II is surprising to seq what strange and inconsistent sentiments sometimes possess the minds of sensible raeni The editor of the Baltimore Times, in an article in which he severely condemns the murderer of Butler, and all who had any agency in procuring his acquittal, takes occasion to make along homily against the punishment of children in school. He says

The press of this country has thundered out its condemnation of the murdy of Butler and the acquittal of Ward. Let the countenanced wrong of flogging children in schools be equally condemned.— Society owes something to defenceless childhood.

Injudicious and passionate castigations are of course to be condemned and corporal punishment, both in school and in the familyi properly administered, is seldom necessary. Itit the experience of ages, ffS well as the injunctions of Iloly Writ, prov^'that a modicum of. physical pain is an indispensable and salutary ingredient in'.the economy of family discipline—and the teacher, by the common law, as well as by, common consent, is regarded as an in in a a .••'If We venture the assertion that Matt.

Ward never was disciplined at school oV* at home. Take away from children all fear- ofc tjiip rod, and inculcate iu their minds the idea that their bodies are sacred from the tingle of the. birch, and you take theshortest and most successful plan for raising a-whole generation of Matt. Wards, with wills all unsubdued, and unbridled passions ready at any provocation to vent thegasciyes through the pistol and the bowicknife.

We were struck with a remark made the other day by a gentleman in our office. It was in substance this—*'The secret of the alarming spirit of lawlessness, which now pervades the country in all classes of society—all these filibuster tendencies, so rife among rulers and ruled, find an explanation in the fact that there are just stepping upon the stage of action, a generation of men, who have grown up without fairiili/ discipline ...t tt+± 4 A Trire-lIniHc and Alton Itntlroad. S From Mr. Sanderson we learn, says the

Paris Beacon, that the work on the'east _cnd of this road is progressing finely.— *S\bout tw6 miles of track have been laid from Terre-Haute through the Wabash bottoms, to the trestle work.g«-Tlio iron is conveyed to this point on cars, and then hauled around the gap at St. Mary's, to the place where the track is again commenced. From St. Mary's the iron has been laid to the State line. The force at present engaged in laying the track will ^shortly be increased, so as to enable them to lay about half a mile per day. Large quantities of iron rails and chairs arc arri ving at Torre-I la nte, and a good force is at work cutting the iron.

Ties sufficient to ooustruct the road to the Chicago branch nr© nearly nil deliver cd, and the road bed will be iu readiness for the track as fast as it can bo laid. One pier" of the Embarrass River Bridge is completed, and tho other two well ad vanccd. All the work from the Kmbar rass to Terre-Hante will be completed ear ly in the fall, and to the Chicago branch as early as the first of January. «i A

Captain Pearson himself then boarded the ship, and was immediately informed by the commander that his orders wfere imperative from Santa Anna to allow no^vessels to pass, and that if we attempted it, he would fire into us. Having sufficient-*ceiil to reach San Juan, the ship was put 6n h£f course at 9 P.

From the Baltic, wc learn that Admiral Napier had divided his fleet into three divisions, the first had gone in the direction of.Livonia, the second to Riga, and the third remained at the entrance or the Gulf of Finland, near Sweaburg, where the Russian fleet was keeping close.,

Several stCAtnors had been swn off Odessa on 21 st wit., which gave rise to the report that the place had been attacked.

HEAVY RAIN.—An immense amount, of rain fell in this region on Saturday. It commenced about 4 o'clock in the morning aud through the day continued at intervals to pour down in perfect torrents. An extensive break in the canal occurred about five miles south of town.

Since Saturday night the river has risen more than 12 feet and is now sixteen feet above low water mark, aud still rising. Several bridges on the railroad liavo .been damaged, but were repaired yesterday. The Wabash Bridge is thought to be in danger this mOrnning from the great quantity of drift wood against it. Tlie canal, we have just learned, has suffered great damage above. Two thirds of Sugar Creek Aqueduct is carried away, which will require some eight or ten weeks to repair.

The Rev. Dr. Henry B. Smith, whom we recollect with so muoh pleasure as our much loved Instructor, when wc were going through a"course of education," 011 "Pejepscot Plains," has been appointed to the Professorship of General Theology, in the Union Theological Seminary in this city. Hitherto lie has been Professor of Ecclcsiastical History iu tho same school:. As an instructor, preacher, and man, his reputation is deservedly^ high. *.7

Last Saturday, a notice appeared in several of the papers, saying that to-day a battalion of the Fairv Light Guards, Consisting of three military companies of females from New Jersey would arrive here this morning, and after parading in the Park, visit Barnum's Museum, dine at tho Astor House, and spend the evening at the Crystal Palace.

At 10 o'clock, the Park aud the steps of the City Hall were completely crowded with ladies, babies and gentlemeu, waiting to see the expected visitors—'two-thirds oi the crowd consisting of femalesv^'^t 1 o'clock, the Amazonian army had not appeared and the greater part of the crowd slowly moved away, feeling themselves entirely "sold," though large numbers, men, women arid children remained, patient watchers, till 5 o'clock in the .afternoon.

In the commercial world, every body complains of the tightness of the money market. The best paper in the market pays 12 per cent., and some as high as 15. Importations largely exceed exportations. Stocks arc not steady— and it seems almost inevitable that a commercial Crash will soon come. Reuts and provisions continue enormously high.

J^Lr. Gcnin, the distinguished hatter, is talked of as the next Mayor. He took tho direction of the private enterprise for cleaning Broadway, and showed the dilatory public ofiicials that it could be done. Ho had it swept every morning, for two or three weeks, from Union Square to Bowling Green, and wc enjoyed a clean street. The'public were not insensible to the "virtue of cleanliness," arid are ready to show their appreciation of hisenergy by placing him at the head of the City Government. QUIS.„

tUQCR N Con?rcft«. IMfl fca*! The House, for the last week, has been boiling over with commotion about the Nebraska bill. The main question has not been reached yet, but the struggle has been against a motion of Richardson, (Douglas' wooden man in the House) to close all debate on the bill, on Saturday ncx6. "The Democrats held a caucus on Monday imcfrning, the result of which was the adoption of Richardson's resolution closing the debate at 12 o'clock 011 Saturday next, by a vote of 114 to 59. Thus has the democracy, as a body, chosen to identify itself with tho enactment of a deliberate law, violating a compact sanctioned by more than sixty years of sacred public faith, and opening an empire of territory to the withering blight of Slavery. The democracy—which, two years ago in convention assembled, at Baltimore, solemnly resolved that they would countenance no attempt td renew the agitation of the slavery question, from whatever source it might Come. This is a sad picture, but true. It is purely a democratic bargain for a great bribe to be pocketed by one of the unworthiest in their ranks. Not one Whig from all the free States has voted in favgr of this stupendous fraud.

O" The Louisville Journal says: "We are looking with great anxiety for the next news from Spain. Unquestionably there is great danger of war. There would be HO danger at all at the present time if the management of our relations with Spain wcrein wise and pru dent hands, but, with Pierce aud his advisers at Washington and Soule at Madrid, the former sending out fierce instructions and the latter executing them fiercely, we fear that the chances of the continuance of peace are very slight indeed. A war with even such a power as Spain would be a great calamity to the United States, and most especially so if the judgement and the sympathy of the civilized1 world should be against us in the conflict."

ID" Late mail news from Washington says: The Nebraska bill looks doubtful to day. Opposition to It, is increasing in the Southern ranks!

We do not believe that Mr. Soule set out with any indention of passing matters to this extreme, hut that the instructions with which was armed were based upon the idea that Spain would be frightened into listening to propositions for the purchase of Cuba.

Pt^v^eJbdtelaJ^^becn.mfteived4^ sta^qg tKi^ ^iu^ej hft^]o^lvogood giaces of .the fickle Queen of Spain, who is completely In the liands ofher Cabinet.— As for flic Cabmen t, they are repi-esen ted as tbe supple instruments of England and [France but not only the purchase of Cuba, but also the acquiesceucc of Spain jn

On tlie other hand, Mr. Soule has established the most friendly relations with the Queen Mother, and §he is as Warmly in favor of the sale of Cuba, as the Queen and her ministers arc opposed to it. Thus the matter stands and as long as the present Spanish Cabinet hold together, English and French interests will be in the ascendant. 7 7 j.

Yet it is possible, though scarcely probable, that the affair may be amicably adjusted. England will doubtless try lo temporize, but if our government listen to any such overtures after the stand taken, it will be disgraced. The only hope that our peaceable relations will.not be,disturb* ed, lies in C??c possibility of Spain's acce-

ding to our demands,

20,00& Acrcs of T.nud We learn from Mr. Nicholas, of tho firm of 'Nicholas Ss Combs, land agents, that, they have now in commission twenty-five farms, besides 10,000 acres of unimproved land, for sale. The farms vary iu size from 40 to 800 acres, at prices ranging from $5 to $20, per acre many of them remarkably cheap, and nearly all well improved, the land being generally of an excollunt quality and woll watered* Most of these farms are situated within twenty miles of Terre Haute. Such an agency composed of relinble men, who have much practical experience in their business, must prove it great convenience to buyers and sellers of land, as property committed to them for sale has tho ad vantago of an extensive publication, through their sub-agents, located iu diflertiit parts of the couutrv.
