Jf we arc Jo recuperate our^fortunes, improve our morals, amend our lives, nud me.ko ourselves worthy of God's favor and man's respect, (lien must our reforms com? mence witli every head of a firmly and in cverv household. It is a terrible thing to behold the children of a family going to the dogs, or lo the devil, through the self complacent disregard or indifference of the parents. Vet, that 6uch is the fact, j nobody who beholds the large amount of iuvenile vagabonds in our streets, at all | hours, can doubt or deny. The father is. ?doulitless^-loitcring himself; -ind what the j mother is doing, we leave to her mirror to report! It is clear that neither of them is j doing the duty of a parent, while children, j from right to sixteen years of nge; arc Buffered to grow up in utter idleness. Lither they should be at their books, in the ! school or in the house, or they shoufd be put to trades, where they may learn an honest end useful business, to be forth? coming at their finger?' ends, when the home is in liiins 'and famine piteoiisly etnlks the rounds, crying for bread. "Where parents cannot afford to pay a teacher, they can still less afford to peram? bulate the streets. They had better keep their boys at books at home, teaching ali that they k themselves know. A hov at fourteen, not designed for a profession) ?aid having neither the talents nor thc pecuniary means to acquire it, may ac quire those means in time, if articled to a good mechanic, machinist or tradesman ;'or live or seven years. Let him do his duty faithfully, and he can support, feed and clothe himself, assist his parents, and, if lie have the proper gifts for a profes? sional mutt, he must acquire thc elements of his profefision besides. Let the parents look to lifts matter, for they may he sure that every boy brought up in idleness is a mere and willing tool in the hands of j some airead}- graduated and distinguished agent in the bauds of the devil. There are throe gifts which a parent, in order to save the boy, must "be careful to seek and choose for him-an occupation which shall give him honest employment; asso ciatos who will give bim honest compa? nions; and such sports and plays as, for? bearing to stimulate*cupidity, will yield him innocent and healthy recreations. Briefly, the gifts wh?eh are of most im? portance to the morals of the voting, are employment, society and amusements. The amusements, Hie plays of children are quite as essential to their morals as either of the other-since the character of the child is more likely to be developed and shaped by his associates in [day than by any other influence. Yet these three things are the very last subjects of con saltation usually with the parent. All children should, at the earliest possible period, be put to use. To be useful is one of the greatest of human virtues. With the development of the uses of the .hov, ' you exercise and develop bis intellect, and muscle-mind and body being equally considered in the employments chosen for bim. These are to be chosen with refer? ence to w%bat of endowment he show's, especially if there be anything peculiar in his gift. And the work should always be within the capacity of mind and body. Neither is to be put to strain or tension. TVi'.h the degree of responsibility thrown upon him will he develop his characteris? tics and arrive at usefulness; and to be useful, rather than to be happy, is the great end of life. On "Wednesday last, in pursuance of an invitation from Gen. Hatch, r.f the United Slates Army, commanding at Charleston, (jens. Lovell and Preston, accompanied by Cap ts. Manigauit, Illicit, Corbett and Gue rard, of their staff, repaired to Orange burg, to consult with the above named officer and Gen. Hartwell, in relation to certain mattera in connection with the system of paroles now issued. Wennder H'muJ that the object of the conference temporarily failed, (ion. Hartwell prefer? ring to refer the matter, to Gen. Gillmor.-; but il is thc impression that the United Hiatos authorities are disposed tousecvery possible conciliatory measure. - The officers assert that they were received an.N treated i'n the most courteous and hospitable style, the utmos' kindness, respect and even de? licacy being exhibited. Tba off.ee of th<* Columbia Phoenix is ou (.-..T.?-. ctr' -i, ? .?i.nd di..i from Plain. BSSEEBEB5BBSBS5EES5B53B5_EB The Latest from, the North. We are in receipt of three copies'of the . New York Herald, of the 12th, 13th anti | ! 16th, wliioli we owe to the courtesy of ! i Gen. Preston. From these w~. gather some I varieties of information, more or less in- j terest inj;: Tile trial of the persons charged with ] the^assassination of President Lincoln was 1 begun in Washington before a military | court. "Tl?e court was object**] to bv the I counsel of the prisoner?, but the objection v. ns overruled. There wns a cloud of wit? nesses, and the persons charged are thus named- David E. Harrold,' George A. Atzerott, Lewis Payne,.Michael O'Laugh lin, John Ii. Surratt, Edward Spanrier. j Samuel Arnold, Mary E. Surratt and Daniel Mudd. These are charged 'with * j conspiring with J. II. Surratt, J. W. Booth, ? Jeff*. Davis, G. N\ Sanders. B. Tucker. J j Thompson, Vt. G. Cleary, C. C Clay, Geo. Hnrper, George Young, and otheis un? known, lo kill and murder the following persons, vi/: A. Limo In. Andrew Johnson, j W. H. Seward and U. S. Grant.? The in? dictment was read, and eu nd ry ?witnesses examined. The conclusions reached may be stated rn the headings of the report of the Herald: ?iooth's intimacy with Ar? nold andO'Laugblin is proven;" "O'Lnugh liu prowling about Secretary Stanton's i house the night bet?re the murder;" "the scene in front of the theatre on the ever. ; ing of Ihe tragedy;" "rend; /.vous of the J conspirators;"' "Booth identified a< thc 1 leader of the assassins." The proceedings, j continued on the present scale, promise to I be of great length. * I We see by the Heralil extracts from j Canadian papers that the United States I Government, has abandoned all farther j proceedings in the ease of the St.. Albans I raiders; no farther demand of extradition I was made, and the last, prisoner-u man I mimed Gregg-was discharged by the court. We are told that the President bas under consideration a new amnesty pro? clamation, containing the final declaration of the Administr?t iou as to whom Execu 1 live clemency shall he extended, and .wl.o i will he held to account, as traitors. A rupture is reported between Generals Sherman and Ilnlleck, growing out of the negotiations between the former and G. n. Johnston-(Jen. Halleek having counter? manded the caders distributed by Sherman among his subordinates. Sherman lins written llalleck that all intercourse be? tween them is at an end. A great tornado swept, over '.he North? en: Sialc- on the ll tb, doing great, darna ce in Pennsylvania. New York, Connecticut and other states. Barnum has telegraphed to the Waa Department, offering S;V>!,! reward for tIn? ternale apparel which Jeff. Davis was dressed in when captured. The New York Herold states the regis tere?! debt of the United States to be ?bout twenty-five hundred millions o; dollars. The amount of Treasury issue: (greenbacks) in circulation is put down at nearly six hundred and eighty-three and a half millions, besides the national bank notes in circulation, estimated at mort than a hundred and twenty millions. The forty-ninth, annual meeting of th? American Bible Society was held in Ne? York, on the 11th inst. During the pas year, the society's receipts have beer $1)77,851, ar-id in the same time it has is sued 1,720,569 vojumes of all kinds, lr the past four years, it has issued 5,304,70? printed volumes, and since its organizatioi I a guand total of 20,609,51 volumes. It issues are "printed in forty different lau guages. Mn. LINCOLN'S TOMB-The public has ; confused understanding of the fact tba there was an earnest struggle over th final resting place of the ?ortal remain of Abraham Lincoln, which was not ter minated till the day of their interment I hut it is not so well known as it should b i that there was never #ny division or hes I talion on thc part of his family, who wer ! uniformly averse to his burial alone in a eight-acre square in the centre of Spring I field, but insisted that his dust spool j mingle with its kindred olav in thc publi cemetery two mil^s from "the whirl an roar of traffic, and not be made the chi? advertisement of a smart and growin ?city. Robert Line?la did not decide th i point, ns some of the reports have indien ed; he simply Announced the unaninroi and unchangeable resolve of the fatnil that the a-hes of bim they loved shoul repose in a cemetery-that ofSpringfiel if that were allowed; if not that, in son other. While doing justice to the lib rality and public spirit which dictated tl purchase ol' an eight acre lot for the tom1 at a cost of $55,000, we must say that tl decision of the family seems to us th which good taste and right feeling won naturally prompt. And thc monument Mr. Lincoln will rise over his remains 1 Oak Ridge Cemetery. \Neu{ York Tribune. Special attention is invited to the saleof valuable china, granite, ?fcc. advertised at auction by Messrs. V)nrbec ?fc Walter. Is Sidney Park aj-pasture for cattle and horses, or a place ojf recreation for human being: ? We oroporund this question to the city fathers, as it is; nothing uncommon-to see animals grazin'g there. TUE TWENTY-FIFTH! Uuio.-lois veteran r?giment, under '?ommand of Lieut. Col. Haughton, is n<>w performing garrison j duty in ibis city.1 They were very highly spoken of ly the residents of Orangeburg for their excellent behaviour while in that village, and have, since their occupation of Columbia, fully abstained their reputa- j lion.

AFFAIRS IN TEXAS.-A grand meeting was held nt Houston on thc 'J'Ju, and an- i other at. Springfield; ami il was deeei-.-d to continue the icbcliibn, although ih-v i had the m ws of t ie fall of Richmond and I the capitulation >f Lee. They declared j the Trans-Mississippi Department, to be sufficiently vast and full of resources to repel the" invasion and insure its inde? pendence. There were some who thought otherwise, and lirig. Gen. Hawes, who commanded Galveston, sent in his resigna? tion, and was replaced bv Col. Ashhel Smith. ( len. M;:; i ader was at Galveston, where he reviewed ihe troops jg A Federal attack on the const of Texas was momentarily expected. - -- io. - THE MosaoE DOCTRINE.-The Philadel? phia Press intimates that, quite n number of mea arc co-gatuz'ng in thal, eily lor a movement upon Mexico, lt is said,.thoti?h ; vairuely, that the object of (lie j arty is to I? maintain thc- validity ni*the Monroe doe- j ti ino. ^Jti other words, they propose to j suppo^p.he Republican faelio'n in Mexico in opposition io the Imperialist*. It is I als?'? rumored that vessels are lu be fitted I out in Baltimore for operating in the Gulf I of Mexico, or elsewhere, and that seventy | men, wTfo have already seen naval service ! and who aro, to he commanded bv an officer who is himself truly loyal, have ; already been engaged to form a part of the alleged expedition. FLOOR ix THE Mississrri'i -Th? Times, of ! the I'.uh. savs di at the country on the Mast. ? side of the river from Tunica Landing to i Ila von Sar,:. ;s completely inundated for thirty five miles, causing^reat suffering. M;tny inhabitants are in a starving condi? tion and many plantations arc ahaaydrined in consequence of the tnxxl making the levees give way. Daily b ars were enter? tained of. a more destructive overflow than ever before occurred. No PASSES REQUIRED.-By an order from Gen. Halleek, it is understood that all loyal persons can come and go from Rieh mond without passes or restrictions of anv lc i ii ?1 : they smiply being required to regis? ter their names as they land or leave. Confederate officers or soldiers who go to loyal States without proper authority, do so at their own ptril. Th.- Mobile News, bf the 27th. learns that the rebel rams Nashville and Morgan, j and live steamers, were at Demopolis, but no troops were there except Mayberry'* guerillas, which were between Mobile and Demrpolis. The demoralization in the rebel army and navy, ia that region, was very great. , . An order bas 'been issued by the War Department for the immediate 'discharge of all imprisoned rebel soldiers not above the rank af colonel, who, previous to the capt ure ol' Richmond, signified their desire to take the oath of allegiance to the Go vcrnmeut, and who aie still willing to do ; so. Thousands of rebel soldiers have arr rived in Nashville, taken tb.eoath, and ure conducting themselves honorably. Lick M.-Cann has announced the Confederacy a lailure, suya he has X>een whipped, and intends U do all in his power to bring back lb- feeling cf old times. A Memphis despatch reports that Jeff. Thompson surrendered himsclt and his entire anny, on "tie-day last, to Captain [Mitchel!, of the United States navy. .leif's "entire army" mist by this tiiuc cous'.; 1 tute no wry formidable force.
