J Self-in3olgencel8 the order of the day. The plain simple habits of old times are gone, i The improremeots of the age have brought with theim a train of evils which threaten the prosperity cf the" country. The State buys more than it sells. - Indi viduals spend mere than i hey make. " Par- er't bring up their children in idleness and pridci. . Extravagance is the fashion ; and multitudes, blinded by numbers, are rush ing on in the race to ruin. - The material evils of such a course of overtrading and extravagance, in - the ruin of fortune and. of credit, are surpassed in misery, and sin, by the moral evils : which produce andTollow insolvency. Ine victims cf fashionable extravagance become unfit for any useful calling. Tbey acquire habits of vice' which make them pests to society, and a blight to good mor als: Hence the prevalence of idleness and ation in the land. A false pride causes many to shrink from such business or labor as they are qualified to prosecute, successfully. They, seek im aginary respectability in professions and pursuits for which they are totally unfitted. They aspire to a style of Jiving rather be fitting their inflated notions of their own po sition than the narrowness of their income. These bop.ful young men, with nothing to do, become idle, dissipated and extrava gant. They ruin the 'old folks at jhome," and run into constant temptation to illegal modes of obtaining money, to feed their bad habits. These are unwelcome facts in the condition of things around us, which canno fail to strike every reflecting mind with sadness. What is the remedy for these evils ? The Temperance Reform may snatch some of these victims of dissipation from ruin. Industry and economy may repair the ef facts of extravagance ; and a genuine pie- ty may sustain and complete the reform of some of them But Olhe.s, alas 1 will go on to the bit ter end ; and spread an influence which will drag others down with them. "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure," saith the proverb. .This tide which threatens the country with ultimate ruin, can only be kept down, by a thofoagh re form ifl family government. In old times men governed ; in latter days it: has been said that the ladies ruled; but in.faCl it is the children who now bear a great hand in the government of the family. Parents must use their authority,- kindly, but firm. ly and completely. I bey must tram their children to industry and economy, they must instiI int0 lheir mintIs a noble pride of honest self dependence which will, ever maintain itself by useful diligence, rather than stoop to mimic the extravagant fools of fashion, who are,bartering their immor tality for the wings of a butterfly or the grave of a drunkard All the public evils against which be nevolence is contending, while originating in the depravity of human nature, are nur tured by defective training of children at home. A thorough reform in family gov ernment will make the work of the philan- inropisi in tne next age tar easier than u is now; and will do much to check the rurfious extravagance to which only in this article, it was our Original design to call th attention of the reader Fro1it ike (Charleston Courier. TflE RIGHTS OF THE PRESS. The recent vindication of the rights of cof- i porators and of the press, in the Case of Gibbes rt. A rthur and Buhdei-l-, at Col- umbia, is calling forth the laudatory com ments of the press,' in and out Of the Stale j but we fegfet to perceive that our city con temporaries have been profoundly silent on ihe occasion.

It wilF hatfft a tendency to restrain the "encroachments oh the liber ty of the prcss,: which have for some time been gafning ground in this '-land of the free." Private individuals, to gratify per sonal pifjue and obtain a momentary re venge, seek to trammel the rights of the press and place the incubus of an oppres sive precedent upon the shoulders of pos tery. Every such attempt shotfM be vigil antlyresisted ; fof, the surest prelude to ab ject slavery aTid national degradation, is a legalized i n fringe trie n opinion and a feensori t on the freedom of censorious espionage over tbe right of publication. In the second place, it is hishlv ffratifv- ing that Dr. Gibbes has come off conquer or, inasmuch as ho nobly bore the brunt of a contest, rn which the press at large is in cidentally yet vitally concefned. His bold and manly b6anng, resulting' in such a signal vindication of right, cannot be too highly commerVded.

ABOLITIONISTS HOAXED. Tbe Rochester (N. Y.) Union learns that a letter Has been-received by'Gov. Kin at, Albany, giving information respecting Chas. Gran by, the colored man from-that city who has been supposed to be in slave ry somewhere in. the southern States. Ac cording to the account received by the U- nton the whole story of Urffnby's kidnap ping and subsequent sale into slavery is a hoax.- The man is in Peoria, 111 , where he went of his.own accord, is married, and at work in a distillery. HiSTORY OF .THE DRED !, SCOTT CASE. As Dred Scott seems to have be come quite a distinguished character, and is likely, to figure-, extensively for some time to come m the poiuical con tests of the country we subjoin the fol lowing brief history of his case as fur nished by the Washington Union : Scott instituted a suit in the circuit court of Missouri to obtain a discharge from servitude for himself and family. On the trial it was proved that he had been originally a ' slave in Missouri ; that his master first took him to the military post at Rock Island, in Illinois, and, subsequently, to Fort Snelling, in Minnesota, at a point north of the Mis souri compromise line, and that he and his family subsequently returned with bim to Missouri. It was contended in his behalf that inasmuch as his owner had voluntarily taken him J.o places wnere slavery clia not exist by Jaw, both in bis favor. On appeal to the SiiDreme Court of the State that tribunal held that he and his family, on returning to the State, continued slaves. Between the annunciation of the opinion of the court and the filing of its mandate in j tne circuit court Scott voluntarily dis missed his suit in the State court, thns evading the decision against him f and thereupon instituted another in the'eir cuit court of the United States In this court the question of jurisdiction depended upon his being a citizen of Missouri, and the defendant a citizen of another State.- If the Court should be of offliiicfn that he was a citizen, then he claimed that he was free, be cause his owner had taken him to Illi nois, and also to a part of Louisiana ter ritory; north of the compromise line. mi. - . ... i ne circuit court rendered lmal judg- ment against him : and thereupon be appealed to the Supreme Court of the United States, where the same questions wre raised and twice areued bv his counsel, and also determined against him. The cause was last argued bv George T. Crirtis. brother Of Judtre Cur tis, and Montgomery Blair, son of Fran cis P. Blair,- for the plaintiff. Scott, and by Senator Geyer and Reverdy Johnson for the defendant. On the first argu ment neither Mr. Curtis nor Mr. jJhn on took part. The fact that the court ordered a reargnment is ample proof of the importance ofthe questions involv ed and the dihiculty of solving them. On the last argumeut the court was filled with intelligent and anxious lis teners. The court took time to delibe rate anfd prepare their opinions. Each inArrd XrrUQ,l 'jt u: j""4!"'
