In the remarks of MT. Burt, member of the Committee on Military Affairs, on the suppimental war bill, on the 3d inst, we find the following paragraph:
 "The President had called for regiments from different States, and n scould De impos. sible that any Brigadier General. or Major General should De appointed by any one State, aohen he regiments or dipisions should be drawn iron, different States"
 This opinion. which was expressed in such way as to give it authority, conflicts with the understanding of the Sate author ities of Alabamn, as is evinced by the re- cent appointment of Brigadier General Smith.

At a meeting held on Saturday evening,
before the City Hall, Lieut., Porter, Of the

"My father Commodore Porter had
three sons. To one he gave pistol, to
another gun, and to the third sword,
with the injunct On never to surrender
them bnt with life. How far this has been

the death of her son, she said, my n. |

you go the other way" "These" said he,
"were the words Of Spartan mo'her;"

Of the next generation.--Plsce them so
high tina: the children Of the rich shall he
sent to mingle with those of the poor; here
let all classes take lessons in equality; let
the children Of the wealthy here learn in
early life, that they are being trained up
for the scenes in which the most intellec-
t,al, the most deserving are to be at the
head Of the class; here let the poor boy
learn, that when he outstrps the rich
mans SON in the race OF learning or moral
excellence, the prize Of distinction will
be bestowed on hims.lf-Farmers! these
schools are Invaluable to your children and
your country. Few higher duties rest
upon you than lending wise, gentr-
Gus, and constan, aid to the school in your
district; notice and encourage the teacher;
by precept and example. influence all pa

ply your children with books; le, them be
