Most of the Rangers comput ing Capt.
company, have returned once
more, and for good, to tlieir home?', their ftiends, and their families; their term of service having expired on the ?th and Dth inst. with the exception of those who enlisted to fill vacancies occasioned hv the
death, or discharge of others; and these, 1 understand,' are only retained until relieved hy the new corps of Dragoons. This company having been enlisted in our own vicinity, and being composed chiefly of the sons, and relatives of our neighbors and friends, I have alw ays felt a deep interest in their welfare, and good name, and am sorry to suite, that considerable dissatisfaction exists anions the men I have seen, and that they are by no means satisfied with tiie conduct of their captain towards them, relative to tlieir discharges nol having been given at the the expiration of their term of service. Oil Sunday last, in company w ith many others, 1 had the pleasure cf seeing Capt. Beckes, at his residence. 1 found him care worn, and a victim to disease. Alllicted with a violent chronic rheumatism in his back, and other complaints. Notwithstanding which, he rode home, a journey of thirteen days, under the most intense heat, great bodily suffering and privation, having obtained a furlough for sixty days from Col. Dodge. His object in returning home under
such circumstances, I understand originates in an earnest desire to elicit the authority to give the men their discharges, and to procure for them their pay. From all I can learn, 1 am of opinion that Captain Beckes is unjustly charged with the blame attached to him by the men. If 1 am correctly informed the Secretary of War wrote to Gen. Atkinson, lhattlie year's service of the Rangers did not according to his construction, commence until they were mustered into service at Rock island. Gen. Atkinson communicated this information to Col. Dodge, who informed Capt. Beckes that, he had not the powr to give discharges at tiie expiration of the term of their enlistment, and ordered him, as his superior officer, positively, not to give them, nor to receive their public arms and accoutrements. In corroboration cf the above, I have seen a letter from Col. Dodge to Capt. Beckes. (w hich those w ishing to read can see by calling upon him) approving of his conduct in not giving discharges, and actinn as he had done.
lam far from justifying the decision of
the Secretary of War, and believe that at the cxniration of twelve months, the term
of service of the men did legally expire My only object in making these remarks
is to correct public opinion in relation to
Cant. Beckes, who, Irom tne conversation
I have had w ith him, regrets exceedingly, that he had not pow er to give honorable dis
charges to one and all oi his men, ot
whose conduct and character he speaks in
tiie highest terms w ith but lew exceptions.

The correctness of this view will be
made apparent in the-discussion of the third question Hownre children to be in

much wider range of topics than the
others. I purpose to allow myself considerable latitude iii my remarks and illus

Children arc to be taught what they are

eommm schools. Thinking, underMamliiiX, reasoning, expressing what thev tlnnk are of primary importance. Rememberin; so as to say what has been gotten by heart, or to do just like a pattern is nearly all the thinking in oar com nun school course of study. These considerations I suggested in my first Number. I now answer the second question When are children to be taught ? Fur the present, I say nothing respecting the first years of childhood when children are too small to be sent to school. But, as soon as children have strength of body to go to school, thev should be entered" tor "training up in the way in which
make the above quantities into forty-two
pills with mucilage of Gum Arabic or slippery elm water, mark them non purgative pills, dose 7; keep them in a phi al. Again, take Calomel, Aloes, Rau barb and Red Pepper, each one drachm,
and pulverized Gum Camphor, half a drachm, divide into stx equal parts, label purgative powders; as soon as any pain in the bowels is complained of, or bowci complaint or vomiting, one of the non purgative powders, or 7 of the pills should bo given without loss of time, and lhc patient ordered to bed. Half a powder or 3 or 4 of the pills should be given after every spell of vomiting and alter every thin or whitish operation. Alter the pain has been relieved and the vomi ting and purging arrested by lhc nonpurgative medicines, one of ihe purga
tive powders should be given every 4, 6 or 8 hours until bilious evacuations are produced, known by their black, green or deep yellow color; in the mean time, mini or chamomile tea should be taken warm and in small quantities, frequently repeated after bilious operations if the patient be not restored to health, ginger
and Virginia snake root tea, with or j without senna, according to the state of
theboivels, should be taken occasionally. If the first dose of non-purgative powders or pills docs not produce perspiration in about two hours, it will be necessary to repeat it, and if the pain, diarrhea or vomiting continues, a moderate quantity of blood should be drawn: bleeding should be resorted to at once, if there be
much pain in ihe head. In violent cases, the medicine should be assisted by a mustard plaster over the stomach, rubbing the extremities with mustard or hot
turpentine, and the application of hot turpentine to the spine, when the lice water purging continues; after ihe vomiting has ceased, I have given a tea spoonful of red pepper in alum water as an injection with good effect. Whoever expects, by the above treatmet, or any other that has been devised, to cure pulseless cases of Cholera, after the vomiting and purging has ceased from necessity, may expect to be disappointed; before the vomiting and purging have subsided from a loss of vital
energy, is the lime to act, and the sooner
