side Of the Rio Grande, besides taking Off all
the animals belonging to the rancho. I can
hardly credit this; but should il prove true Il
will go hard with the Camanches. Captain
Gillespie's command is composed principally Of
Jack Hays's old men, and they will not give up
the chase after their horses in a hurry.
We have another report to the effect that six
Americans, while driving in beef cattle from
LoredO to San Antonio, were set upon by the
Camanches and all killed, together with four.

We would call the attention Of our readers
to the facts set forth in the proceedings Of the
Senate as given below, They are worth read
ing and remembering,-ED CREoLE.
Correspondence Of he Baltimore american.
WASHINGTON, July 90.
In the Senate, Mr.. Lewis called up the Sub.
Treasury bill. A long string of amendments
were proposed, and many were adopted. .
The Chairman of the Committee Of Finance
provided for the payment Of public dues in
Treasury notes and Treasury drafts. These
features Of the bill were discussed with some
warmth.
Mr.. Benton said if these Treasury drafts were
to be Incorporated in the bill, he would give
it up.
Mr.. Allen said be was opposed to all paper
money,Rnd ever since he had been connected
with the Government, the Treasury Depart-
ment had shown a love Of running after paper
money. II was the instincts of the Treasury
to cling to Paper money. Pass this part Of the
bill, with the power TO issue Treasury notes,
and it would not be necessary for the Govern
ment to handle one dollar Of specie. Expert
ence had shown that the last Governmentco could
get along and not use paper money.
Mr. Lewis, in reply to a question from Mr.,
Johnson Of Nd, said that The Secretary Of the
Treasury had recommended the sub-Treasury
with Treasury drafts.
Mr.. Benton said he assisted in framing the
late Sub-Treasury bill, but after it went into
operation he found that it was a humbOg, and
that he had been bamboozIed. 1t was a mat
ter Of public concern thai those entrusted with
Legislation should see to this, and he hoped
that all the loop-holes would be stopped, and
that there would be no cracks in this bill large
enough for a Ia &c man to creep out.
Mr.. Benton, later in the debate, enlarged
upon these views, and complained that the Gre
Of the Government were to be paid in
paper money as they would. The amendment
would make tho Treasury Department
mammoth bank Of issue. II provided
Treasury currency, and allowed notes or drafts
0 be sent ont of the denominations Of $50,
Sl00, $500, and more,

summer q 1870. "A letter was sent to the
Secretary Of the Senate TO BE- read. Ii was
marked confidential, written in August, and
signed 7, Hartley Crawford, then Indian aeenr.
The letter was writtsn To the Indian agent IN
Missouri, under the direction Of The Secretary
Of War and the Secretary Of The Treasury,
and i's object was TO persuade the indiana %
receive theig paymentsin the mates Of the Bank
Of the United States then largely deprecia,eds
Full evidence Of this deliberate purpose was
furnished in the letter to the agent and ia the
answer.
Mr. Miller asked il this agents. letter wac

as Jadge.of the criminal court.
Mr.. Calhoun expressed great aaFprise at this
attempt y cheat the Indians, ard the recital Of
the occurrences crepted great amusement ia
the Senate.
Mr. Benton regatdsd il as a'speeimeh Of bad
faith, and was for checking il.
Mr.. Calhoun defended ne amendment. and
seemed disposed 10 save the Sub Treasury bill
from its avowed purpose Of being 4 hard mo-
ney bill, and atthe came time from being allo-
gether like an'irresponsible bank.
Mr. Davis, Of Mass, demonstrated .hnt with
the B9ATers in the bill and proposed to the bill.

1bank!
Mr.. Lewis earnestly resisted this idea, but
Mr.. Benton and mr.. A lien met him ii every
point, and opposed all these features Of the
bill. Mr.. Lewis, too, showed that the. designs
Of the Government were to throw out all bank
paper, and I'd circulate as well as create d
Government paper currency.
The debate closed at 4 o'clock Without taxi
ing the question.

nishing all requisite materials for the report by
law required by che Board Of Education.
Sd. The compensation Of the Secretary Ofthe
Board Of Education shall be one thousand FIVE
hundreddollars per annums to be- made in equal
quarterly payments.
The Board Of Education at its FIRST meeting,
appointed the Hon. Horace Mann, then Presi-
dent Ofthe Senate Of Massachusetts, to the Of
fec Of secretary; a choice which; Judging from
the reports named at the head ofthis article, APP
pears to have been highly advantageousto the
State. In theseaReports, he exposes defects,
urges their removal, and recommends improve
ments with earnestness, persuasiveness and sa-
gacity. lie describes the condition Of edura-
ton in the state, asthe time Of the appointment
in the following words: "The common school
system Of Massachusetts,, has fallen into q state
Of general unsoundAess and debility:ea great
majority of the school houses are not only lila
dapted to encourage mental effort, but in many
cases are absolutely p%erilous to the health and
symmetrical growth Of the children: the
schools are under a sleepy supervision; many
Of the most intelligent and wealthy Of our citi-
zens have become estranged from their welfare;
and the teachers Of the schools, although with
very few exceptions, persons Of estimable char
acter and of great private worth, yet in the abb
sence Ofall opportunities to qualify themselves
for the performance Of the most difficult and
delicate task which, in the arrangement Of
Providence, is committed to human hanGs, are
necessarily, and without fault Of their own
deeply and widely deficient in the, two indis-
pensable prerequisites for their ofice-viz
a knowledge Of the human mind as the
subject Of improvement; and a knowledge
Of the means best adapted wisely to unfold
and direct it's growing faculties."4
This representation Of the results Of the nd'
ministration, for two centuries, Of common
schools by The people themselves, without the
aid Of any controlling, advising or enlightninG
central power, is highly instructive. i show
that in conducting education. as in every diff
cult and complicated process, the blind are no
adequate successfully to lead the blind.
