Teaching and Training. '
Event?, however small, in the lives of
children, are things of more vast impor?
tance to the race than those leading occur?
rences which make the nations anxious.
The occurrences of childhood, more or
less, involve principles; and these are
never insignigcant matters, though they
take place in trifles, and relate to sports
and toys. A principle is never a small
matter. A principle may be regarded as
the parent of a thousand dependencies,
.which, like other subordinates, would be
unruly, were not the governing power
there to keep them in order. A fixed
principle guides the subordinate thoughts j
of the mimi, or they lob it of all sanity.
Tims, the power which propels the steam?
boat and the stage-which provides a cit}7
?with bread, or consumes it-is a eiugle
power, and only works in these different
.ways and for these different objects, how?
ever distinct, in obedience to the solitary
agency to which they are subject. A prin?
ciple impressed upon the child, through
the medium of those trifling events of
Which his early life is commonly made up,
becomes a habit, as much so as the wash?
ing his face and hands of a morning. It
forms for his government what we call a
standard of the mind. By this standard
of the mind, whi?jh, as a habit, is familiar
and at his fingers* ends at all times, he -is
enabled to determine upon his proper con?
duct and what he should do, however
novel or unusual may be his situation. If,
for example, his father has made it a point
with him to speak the truth at all times
and under every c/rcumstance-as every
father should do-if he has tutored him to
look upon falsehood as odious and mean, ,
and upon every form of evasion n6 not
only immoral, but unbecoming tomailhood
-the boy so taught, in after life may be.
trusted safely. We care not in ?what situa?
tion you place him, he will never go aside
fropi the standards of mind which have
been given, however far he may be re?
moved from the eye of the parent, and
however fur beyoud the reach of parental
favor or reproof. Solomon, a very respect?
able authority in ancient times, was never
more correct than when he said, "Train
up the child in the way he .should go, and
when he is old he wiil not depart there?
from." Mark it-he does not say teach,
but train. There is a world wide differ?
ence in the meaning of these two words.
The world now teaches all and trains none
at all._
MEMORIAL TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE
UNITED STATES.-We give below, says the
Charleston Courier, the memorial of the
citizens of the State of South Carolina to
his Excellency the President of the United
States, for the appointment of a provisional
governor for the State of South Carolina:
To his Excellency Andi ern Johnson, Presi?
dent of the United States:
The undersigned, who have taken the
oath of allegiance, long residents of
Charleston and other sections of the State
of South Carolina, and citizetis of the
United States of America, most respect?
fully memorialize your Excellency, to
obtain the restoration of the civil govern?
ment ia this State. The great civil war
which moistened 6ur land with blood,
ruined our people, and desolated our
homes, is at ah end. In good faith, we
have renewed our fidelity to the Constitu?
tion of*ibe United States. There is no
reserved intention to errtbarrsss t?ie autho?
rities, or sullen disposition to oppose the
Government.
The determination is universal to be in
spirit and in truth loyal, and lo do all that
becomes citizens whose interest is in the
United States, to promote the prosperity of
their country. The deprivation of civil
government opposes the energies of the
people, creates distrust, diminishes, if it
does not wholly destroy, commercial
transactions, and inflicts on the commu?
nity lawless speculations in the place of an
in vigor ating, legitimate commerce. Your
memorialists can effect nothing without
the aid of your Excellency's authority.
The State has ever continued a part of
the great integral-the Union. The peo?
ple are disorganized. The appointment
<if a provisional governor, with power to
reorganiza the State Government, would
lead to an earl}- restoration of civil go?
vernment, and confer on the people of this
State the blessings of peace.
Your memorialists, therefore, pray that,
some eitizeu of this State be appointed
provisional governor of the St?te of South
Carolina.
And your memorialists will ever pray.
Benjamin Wood has retired from the
editorial eh arge of the Ne iv York News.
He .will be succeeded by the Irish exile
and patriot, John Mitchel, a fice gentle?
man an! a vsry able vrrittr.
Retarn to the TJnicn-Public Meeting.
In pursuance of a call of Council for a
public meeting of the citizens of Colum?
bia and of Richland District, -with the
view to the restoration of the State of
South Carolina' to the United States, a
large and respectable assemblage took
placent the City Hall, yesterday morning.
On motion of Mr. M. C. Mordecai, Mayor
Gibbes was called to the Chair, Mr. An?
drew G. Baskin was appointed Secretary,
and the meeting was duly organized. The
objects of the meeting being then full}'
stated by the Chairman, Mr. C. R. Bryce
moved that a committee of five be ap?
pointed by the Chair to report upon the
object in view. The committee consisted
of Messrs. (3. R. Bryce, John Caldwell, A.
R. Taylor, Edward J. Arthur and W. H.

and Richiaud District, respectfully request
his Excellency Audrew Jehnson, Br jsident
ot the United States, to take such mea?
sures as will lead to au earl}' restoration of
the titate ot South Carolina to her former
relations with her sister States of the F??
deral Republie, and as will restore her
people to the enjoyment of their civil and
political rights iu the Union and under
the Constitution and laws thereof, and re
mit them at au.early dfcy to the prosecu- j
tiou of their wonted industrial pursuits., j
Resolved, That a committee of twenty
one be appointed to communicate the
foregoing application ia such uiauucr as
tncy may find most proper and convenient.
Jiesotved, That our feilow-citizeus of the
other Districts iii the State, are earnestly
invited to'take early action for the attain?
ment of tlic above objects, and that the
committee appointed under the 6econd re?
solution are authorized, to act an a com?
mittee of correspondence with them when?

-HM
We ha^e had a sight of the Charleston
I Courier, of the 13th iust., from which we
gather the items which follow, and which
we condense to our limits:
The South Carolina Railroad has been
turned over to the President-, W. J. Ma
grath, who will at once proceed to the re.
organization of the several departments.
Gov. A. G. Magrath, who has been con- j
fined at Fort Puluski, returned to that
fortress, b^y special orders of the President,
after he had been conveyed by ship to
Fortress Monroe. j
The Rev. W. B. Yates hos returned to
Charleston, whither he hopes shortly to
remove the boys of the Marine School,
who, tor some two years, have heen en?
gaged on a farm school near Orangeburg.
We are quite willing that the Marine
School shall continue, but could not will?
ingly see the farm school abandoned.
STEAMSHIP GRANA?A.-The steamship
Granada, Captaiu Rodney Baxter, left
Brown's Warf. Charleston, for New York
direct, at 7 o'clock, on Saturday morning.
The following is a list of the passengers:

Funeral Invitation
The friends nnd acquaintances of Mr.

SCHOO:, FOU BOYS.-Our readers will see,
by the advertisement of Mr. Henry Tim
rod, that he proposes to open a school for
boys in this city on the first week in July.
Of Mr. Timrod's perfect competence, no
one oan doubt. He is a fine scholar, a
classicist, highly accomplished in let?
ters, an exquisite poet, and a gentle, mo?
dest man. He will not teach as a hod?
man, dully, from the mere text book, but
thoroughly, and with thought being
brought to bear upon the lesson, making it
lucid to the youthful understanding. We
need not add, surely, that schooling is the'
first and last necessity for boys, and those
parents are the worst criminals in a com?
munity who suffer their sons to loiter
about the streets in idleness, losing the
most precious days of their lives, and
perilling mind, moral, fortune, life itself |
-their whole future-in forbidden ways.
An idle mind is the devil's workshop, and
it is high time we should arrest the prac
tice of apprenticing our children to such a
master.
'THU CRY I9%TILLTHEY COME."-Colum?
bia is decidedly looking up, aa we mny
phrase it of one who has been long lying
flat upon his back. She is becoming
lively, as the prices current phrase it of]
herrings in uuirket. Every day adds to.
our list of shops opened, and wagons ar?
riving with new goods. The reader will
sec by the advertisement that Messrs.
Zealy, Scott & Bruns have got a large and
fresh supply, a various assortment, which
the? claim to be able to sell at pries
miserably low. We shall see. Mr.'Scott
has recently been to Charleston, where he
was duly welcomed, and where he made
his purchases in person. The more the
merrier. In this connection, we may add
that people who do not much go about
would be surprised, by an afternoon's walk
among the ruins, at the number of houses in
progress of erection or repair. So should it
bc. With the growth of business houses in
the town, w,ill be the demand for supplies,
and wagons from the country; and, with
commodities for?xchange with the firmer,
we shall need the less of the circulating
medium for the latter.
Begin life with but little show; you may
find it afterwards. *
