At first, a few miner als from the States in which they are lo cated, were brnuzhl together; then come Stale appropriations for inoie compile collections, which were also added, an 1 now. they contain not only a representa tion in miniature is it were, of the resour resof ei ch S:alp. but thousands or valua ble minerals, &.c., frcin all the counirii of the globe. These Institutions, are row considered, M they should be, the cry brightest or naments of our ccun'ry.

Seems lo think thai Nebraska Governors are in;id of such poor s'ull ( lint they can be coerced, or intimid.ded by its miserable mer.aces. But we arc ol opinion he i m ide of sterner m.teri.d. " If the Capitol shall be placed at Bel'c view, we think that a very poor sprisr of the lands nn 1 lutnors. slio'ild be Lwardci! to our Zealous, jealous and fearful neigh bor." The Bugle has very pru letity rmi'ted to quo'e llie "menaces" which we ore s u 1 to have mr.de. If the article refcred to had been quoted, every sensible reader the Bur!e happens to have, would have seen (hat thn Governor was r.ot in any manner threatened in our columns, 'e spoke of a consequence that would fol ew if a certain course of conduct was pursued. Was that a menace? Tl.e Bugle's opinion is, that if the Capitol should be located at I'.jllevicvv, no.hinjj more than 'v7 very poor tprig oj (he landt and honors" should be awarded us. We are unable to understand the extent ei'her of the honor or prolit to which we shall be entitled, even if we were so fortunate as to get such v the Ed itor cf the Bugle thinks should be given us. One thine h certain, we have (he Ur of issuing the first periodical in Nebraska S . . .1 ... -the honor of establishing ourselves where the Capiiol should be, if it never i, established. Another thing is certain whether our lands be m my or few our honors great or small, we hope to be con tented wi h such cs a good Providence may bestow upon us, and to be enabled lo reqniie our benefaclors for their favors, and to forgive our enemies for ihe wrongs they inllicl upon us.

A Great Fire. Two hours ago the alarm of fire was given; we hastened lothc spot, and found (he fire far progressing, ami too far to be extinguished, which originated, as near as coul 1 be ascertained, over Martin's Sa loon. Near a thousand men was soon up on the ground, and very many labored with praiseworthy exertion to save the merchan dize. The s'ore of Messrs. Stutsman & t"0-) w ere so far enveloped in flames, that but a sm dl portion of its contents were saved, except his books and money, and valuable papers. Messrs. Tootle fi Jackson, and Pegram oC Co., were more fortunate, and saved the greatest portion of their goods. Five new business hou ses were destroyed. Upon a has'y cal culation, wc should judge ihe loss would be in the region of .fy'J.OOO. Stutsman was 1 lie most unfortunate, but takes il like a philosopher.

As I am a bach elor, I must acknowledge, that it was ex ceedingly pleasant to meet some of these Buckeye maiden ladies.

I ORIGINAL FAFERS ON EDUCATI0.1. NO. III. Mn. Fditok: The mind is defined lo be that power, or faculty in man, which 'Thinks and w ills, remembers and rea sons," and ihe senses are the media through which a knowledge of external objects, or of what is passing without, h convey ed to the brain, and n consciousness, of w hat is transpiring within the iimi: of the senses, is then said to begin. When sub jects are thus presentpd lo the min I's con templation, the faculty c.f thought is sup posed to be exercised upon them. And the menial examination and comparison to w hich they arc afterwards subjected, is in general, understood lo be the operation c f the reason upon them. Thus, thought j makes known to the mind, the rgreement or disagreement between certain proposi tions. Reason deduces the conclusion, 01 consequence, that is to be drawn from them, and the judgment final. y decides upon the propriety of acting on the pro positions so advanced. It is with r-gret admitted, that the passions contribute iui terialiy, to ihe operations of judgment, or lo the determination of the will, and in minds not properly balanced, greatly fa cilitate action in conflict with ihe princi ples of morality. Now, there are certain propositions which men and society have sanctioned and established as right; the truth of which propositions, is believed to be co-exlcnsive with the existence and duration of all created matter. And hu man conduct should run parallel to these great propositions, that is. to such of them as are inherently intuitively and tclf-cvi-denlly right, because man cannot create right, any more than he can destroy k. And the agreement of any combination ol men, however large, can, and of right ought to be, of none effect whatever, tin-j less in accordance with ihe immutable and eternal truths, upon which justice and constitutional law and government should repose. While these propositions are ad mitted by society as right, all conduct the reverse, or in conflict with them, is con sidered wrong. Thus, that all men are entitled to lile, can ies with it the idea, that whoever, under certain circumstances, puts a human being to death, is guilty of murder. That every man is entitled to all that he has justly acquired, is connect ed tnat other idea, that whosoever appro priates the properly of another, is guilty of ihefi. These, and many others, are the grosser acts, of which only, the law can take notice; but there ere many ihiiy equally wrong, that arc not subject of le gal punishment. Thus, it is right to speak ihe iruth. and wrong to he. Il is right to be industrious, and w rong to be idle. There are numerous o'her things, equally right lo do, and equally wrong if left un done; and which, though not within ihe reach of law, nevertheless prepare, and hurry on the mind to other ads, will, which are connected punishment and deg radation. To teach, wi'h Ii ecu racy, ihe distinctions betw een right and wrong, falls legitimately within the province of the parent, if ho is rot to do it, who else is? Who else can? The school-teacher can not do it, because his tcchings liu in a different sphere; the expounder of theo logical love, cannot do il, for he is speak ing in fact and in manner, (omen and wo men, and not in general to children, and these are the only classes of men. whose business is in any way connected with the reformation of society. There are none: then, to well situated, to impart the requi site instruction, us Ihe parent. They and the children arc constantly together, and the parent should be satisfied, that the dis tinctions between right and wrong, be tween truth and error, are understood and appreciated by the children. A proper direction to the passions, should also re ceive attention, as this is the most fruitful source of evil, both in children and among men, too much care cannot be bestowed in giving them a suitable direction, and to their restriction within appropriule limits. It has already been hinted, that the pas sions exercise no small influence in the de termination of the will. Aganst (his, ihe parent should unceasingly guard; he should constant! cultivate that strength of mint), and solidity of judgment, that will enable his children to relinquish an object, how pleasing soeer to the eye, taste, or any of the senses, rather than violate a prin ciple of duty, or of right. It is not in sisted, that (ho parent can make his child, ren perfect, and it is admitted that the en trance into ihe mind of a proposition to do evil, cannot be prevented by either. But, inasmuch as (he bare detention by the mind, of an idea, of (he immorality ol which, the judgment is convinced, is per haps, ihe beginning of wrong, and as the subsequent mental reasoning upon the chances of escape or detection, if that idea perfect iiself in action, is crimiiul, every effort shuull be made by the areiii, so to subdue the passions and develop the judgment, as that the mind may reject, re pudiate, and repel such idea or proposi tion, the moment its ciiminalily i made apparent. Perlmps, in no jart of (he edu cation of the young, will (he g'l sense and r mreet ihn'ight of the parent hi" inure requisite, than in t stnblishirg (he met., 1 nr.d bounds to the operations of the pas. sions. Their mo lera'e qualification semi, necessary, ihe difficulty lies in assigning n limit. Vet, it is believed, that if taken in time, their course, like thnt of the mountain rivulet, may bo marked out, ,i. reeled, and controlled, but, should they porfeel themselves into settled and perm- 1 c lous habits; their poors?, like lh.it of the mighty river, is beyond the power of man, nn I linchatiga'.lo. If the teachings, contained in these pi., pors, together with such other substantia.! ins'ruciioti as may hav e been omitted, hav been judiciously commenced, the great foundation upon which to build an e luca- ' liar., lias been h.i 1, and (lie child is in a condition to attend school. In relation to f Ihe present, method of scho. '-tcachb .e, there is nothing particular lo be offered, exept, l! at Iho services of capable per- sons should he obtained; of persons know ing how, an ! disposed to second the ef. forts of the parent. The labors of l!ns class of ni"n, arc of r.coessily, secondary, ' as they are obliged to take the srholar bs ; thpy finl him, and can no, justly b held responsible for his omission and neglect of j duty. Supposing then, that capable and proper teachers have been selected amiiii o'her thi.i;s, which thi right thinking pa rent wi 1 have taught his children, is the . economy of lime, and a prompt and dili gent application in the prosecution of his studies. It h to such students, as they advance to manhood, that the great arcanum of nature opens up its wonderful and mis- i tenons stores of knowledge. To the ri- gid invps'.ig .liuris of such, only she, re- j veals the nothingness of man, and the ' mul.ifari ms vastness of all creitedmit. ler. Philosophy, in all its forms, an l the : connexions anl dependence existing o throughout the pre;.! fabric of the Uni- 1 verse, are examined anl digested; and a man so educated, goes forth upon the world, fitted lo occupy the field or the fo rum; capable of leading, as well as being led; and of fiiii.tg (hn position of a supe rior, ts well as (hat of a subordinate. For s.ieh a trim, Diversity, or even dcr.th( has no terrors; bat, should calnmi'y over take him, it is met and sustained with ihe i'rrthudo and resignation, that would !o honor to a m.'.r'yr. I noeiA hardly mid, in conclusion, that Mis parent of such a child, has fai'hfully performed I.u du'.y, nn.i he may meet the common coriqucrer of mortali y, far as o proper dsjeharge of tho obligations to. ward his children is cunr-erned. with the consciousness of "a life well spent in tho service of his Master.
