For the Sentinel. Ralkk.ii, N. C, Feb. '2nd, 1Su7. Tim Editors or the Skntinki,. In rea lino your paper ot yesterday, I was glad to see thai a day and hour have been set by the Legislature 1qt the. consideration of the bill conceinin:.; a State Penitentiary. A more timely or urgent proposition conl.! hardly come before th'it body. Crime is on the increase, and the safety and prosperity of the country are in danier. It is a .unuerol serious consideration, with us, as to w'uit measures should be adopted lor cheeking the outrages of the times. Since the adjournment ot t he Legis'a! in e. i u December, the writcrol this has visited a dis tant State, (a Southern Stati ) with the view of looking into the Penitentiary system, r, ol -by appointment," but voluntnriiy, and from a ! p interest in this great remedy for evil, lie has returned more than ever impressed with the necessity of un h institutions. The very nature of crime requires that it not only be punished, but the criminal r. tumud. The mere infliction of punishment only deters others from perpetrating the Burne, deeds that have brought some men to the scaffold. Hat how far does this preventive measure go f The course ol nil history only shows that mere fear ha but little -effect upwit men. A man may-see, distinctly tho result of crime, placed so vividly betore him as to make him shudder, but th whole race is a living witness that the shudder lasts only for a moment. Nothing is more distinct than the results of intemperance: yet men drink, and deliberately gradually induce the conseijucnces, ol intern pwranc. Sio it i wilU hangings! b..wjt,ll every fruit of crime. The infliction of punishment is only a part of the needed discipline. What the country wants is notksimply the bluod of the offender, but. his reformation. Society needs the moral effect ot the reformation ot criminals. Can this lie accomplished '. Can a bloody murderer, be transformed into a good man : He w ho even questions it, hail as well confess his ignorance ot history. The experience of prisons in this country and in Kurope, give 1 most encnuaging and abundant proof that this j sort of reformation can be and is now going on, , in the Irish prisons- said to be the best in the world, SO out of loi) are supposed to be re- lorined. Many u man lias been taught m pris on, and it may be lor the first time in life, that the way of the transgressor is hard,1' and, he has left the gates of the States' prison, a better man. , The discipline of a county jail and a Peni tentiary, w ill not bear comparison. In the first place, the period allotted to coun ty jail confinement is too short for any purlieu lar discipline, beyond confinement, whipping, etc. In the Penitentiary, ample time is afforded to carry out a profitable regimen, in the Pen itentiary you have the benefit of some evangel ical persons, who will have time to instruct and argue with the prisoner. Short rations subdue more than whipping. Old thieves, thrown into promiscuous company with young thieves, will contaminate the younger, and send them nut with new tricks. This can all be better regula ted in commodious State prisons than small coop'ty jails. In some cases, the terms of sentence are eom niuted by good behavior. For instance, it a man behaves well in prison one month, they curtail bi periixl ot confiiiemeht one day two months, tw o days, etc. In some crtscs, grmd be havior huy certain other priyttjsgeB. If a m ui does well a month, they leave his cell door half open. For another month's good behavior, tliey leave the door entirely open all day, etc., until ht- earns tin privita of w alking out a jjlilu.--. If be proves false, he is -et back nnti' he a .jam earns the privilege of having h's door hall open. Thev say this brings good r.-uits. M ot a in in thus disciplined, fur the very lirst time in life, tries to be a good man. Then when his b nn of imprisonment is about to expire, a committee get a situation for him, in some re te part of the State, away from bis old companion-, and where he is free from his old temptations. In some case they place to thcVTedit ol the convict, alt the over work lie ihilvs in caning chairs, shoe making, weaving, etc., so that when released they have some pocket money and may get into some husitiess, and are thus relieved from the immediate necessity or pretext of tie ccssity of stealing. All this can be better si cured in a commodi otis States, prison than in a small county jail. The Selling of liquor to prisoners, can better be prevented in the former. Religious teachers can better operate in the former. In the case I refer to in the beginning, I preached to three or four hundred prisoners, where wo had vocal and instrumental music coinbicted eniiicly by convicts, ami the effect, was perfectly apparent. Religious instructors are inclcl to tell these . prisoner the cause of crime- its moral results, j the remedy lor i t 1 1 it- power of assia-ial ion and , for the first lime m some cases reason vv it h them about the evil. Many get into prison who are not more to blame than their ileliinjueut pa ri lits, their whole moral cult ore has laa-ii shame , fullv neglected, and needs to be begun. A ll this can be done and is done hi si in large prisons. And n hi t her, it can lie hcnclkial to us as aState, thosewho have the mallei in hand must decide. The writer of this., though not a public man, together wit h a host of others, most earnestly hope that a' Penitentiary may be built.

I proceed, in this paper, to another class ot improprieties, namely: to the rulijiiritm that prevail among ns. Of these, there is plenty to be found everywhere, in wri ting and in conversation. They need very littlo amplication, and indeed wonrtd scarcely deserve to be mentioned, were it not for the circum stance hinted at in the former paper, that pub lic persons, and even scholars, are at less pains to avoid them tbtHt they aliould be. 1. " 7Vu' here report of that there committee." Dr. Johnson, in the Tatter, says, "Some persons w hom I could name in the English Parliament, whose wealth, and not merit, raised them to that dignity, use this vulgarism very freely, awd expose themselves to abundant ridicule by so doing." May not the same remarks be applied to gentlemen whose position in society, or some thing else, (though it might be difficult to say what) raiseil them to a similar dignity in the Legislatures of our country 1 1. Veracity for cridiliility. This is not a blun der in convi rsation only, but in speaking and writing. "I have some doubt of the veracity of this fact,'' says un author?, of some distinc tion. Now . trrarity relates to the character ol the person, rredMtitu, of the story told. The same is the case with all, or must of the words of similar format ion, such as cajiacity, rajiacity, tenacity, Ac. 0. ' Von i,iii no riijhl to pay that money." In this sentence, w hich is a very common one, the word riijhl is used for what logicians would call the correlative term Migation. The form of expression should be "you are under no Mi gat ion," Ac. 1. Equally well-and equally an good. This is frequent in conversation, and public 'peaking. It- m alu to bo twuiuJ in Some publie. Hons, of which it is needluss to name the authors; but it is just as good English to say, "the most highent mountain in America." Let me notice but two other expressions in this paper, which will be long enough for one reading, as I wish to say more about them than I have said aliout any others. The words are eletcraxt nice. 5. "He is a very clerer man," "she is quite a clever woman." How often are these phr-ases to lie heard in conversation I Their meaning, however, would certainly be mistaken, When heard for the first time by one born in lower Virginia, and. perhaps, in some other States. At least, this would have been the case thirty years ago. In these cases, of very frequent oc currence, cUter, as a colloquial word, is often improperly used in the sense of good-natured, veil di)toted, lind, honest, und the phrase clever man, ; or cherer fellow, is- employed to denote a person of good nature, good disposition, good intentions, w ithout the least regard to capacity. Nay, it I am not mistaken, it is frequently ap plied, when there is an acknowledged mediocri ty of capacity. But in old Virginia, thirty years ago, cUeer always meant capacity, anil might be joined to a good or a bad disposition. And prefer this greatly, perhaps, because I have been used to it from my boyhood, and for a still better reason, it is ths good old English meaning of the w ord. We sav of a man. he is a clerer man, a deter tradesman, a ckrer lawyer, a clever fellow, without any reflection upon his moral character, yet, at the same time, it carries no approbation of it. It js very good. English, and very common, to say , "He in nimr frllow, but I am sorry to say it, he is also a very great rascal."- When decerned is applied piimarilv to conduct and not to the person, it generally carries in it the idea of art or chicanery, not very honorable. Far example, "Such a plan I confess was very cletfi ; (i. e, sly, artful, well, contrived,) "but not very fair." And now for 6. A'iee. Here is a word much used, especial ly in conversation, often without any well de fined meaning. The true and original meaning tony be ssCcTtliftied by tinisiitfftig fitly "gWid dic tionary, and I think many persons will be sur prised to find the 'meaning so entirely different from any they have lieeh accustomed to attach to it.
