NATIONAL MUSICAL FEsTlvAL.--The Sth grand
national festival of the German Musical Asso-
citation began its session in Baltimore, on
Saturday evening, and is said to be one of the
most brilliant ever presented. This city is
represented by the Delaware Saengerbund,
Mr.. Frackman, President and 20 members who
appeared in the line of procession, bearing a
blue banner with white wreath and harp on
one side and name on the other. All along
the route the German public houses and So
ciety rooms were tastefully decorated and
hun with appropriate emblems. The deco
private citizens was very fine, and many stores
and residences presented an unusually gay
appearance being decked out with flags and
dressed with evergreens. Over the Hanover
street entrance Of the new Assembly Rooms
was erected painting feet in length and 6
feet high. Below was the inscription, in Ger
mani "6erman song Free Passage; German
Song Sounds Heavenward.' The paintings
as well as the pillars of the entrance were
enwreathed with evergreen. tastefully arran-
ged.
The Baltimore Sun says :-Thus far the fes-
tival has been one of the most pleasant char
acter, and all seem pleased that their Bati-
more brethren have given them cordial re.
ception nit herr und mund. On Tuesday a
great pic mic at the agricultural grounds came
off, and on Wednesday there was a grand ball
at the new Assembly Rooms, i'll honor of the
guests.
BHlTlsn ATTACK UPON AN AFRICAN STRONG
HOLD.-A correspondent of the London Illus
trated News, gives the particulars of an at
tack by the British naval force, upon an
African stronghold near Sierra Leone, West
Coast oRAfrica. II appears that the tribe of
Loosoos have been encroaching upon the
British frontier, and have burnt the next lar
gest town to Sierra Leone, on the river on
which that colony stands An expedition was
was fitted out at Sierra Leone, consisting of 3
war steamers. with the Governor of Sierra
Leone and the First West India Regiment on
board. The steamers not being able to enter
the river, the ascent was made in fifty-two
boats. and on the third day, after fatiguing
voyage, they found themselves in front of the
stockades and mud forts of Kambia Town.
Under shower of shells and rockets the sol
diers and marines landed with battery of
mountain howitzers, while the boats turned
their batteries on the main stockade, and the
troops advanced. The natives soon fled, leav-
ing their forts and other possessions in the
hands of the cnnqnerors and probably their
loss was considerable. On the British side,
the greatest impeachment was the dreadful
heat, which, among others, struck down the
commander, Col. Hill, who was only brought
to life by bottles of water poured upon his
head.

highly pleased with the examination.
Our time has been so much engaged that
we have not been able to visit all the schools
and witness their examinations, but such as
we have seen, has impressed us favorably
with the free schools of Wilmington. They
are credit to the City.

the jurors in the late breach of promise case
in st. Louis are backing out from their 500,
900 verdict. One of them, writing to the
News, volunteers the following :-'tFrom what
have heard since the conclusion of the trial,
am free to confess that have not only been
badly sold, but that have helped to render
an unjust verdict. Unjust, not on account of
the amount, (for here let me express il as
my humble opinion that were she justly ell
titled to one cent she was entitled to all not
only on account of her loss of interests in his
property, but also on account Of their attempt
and utter failure to blast her character.) The
whole blame, charge rests with the defence
in not proving Gnstead of insinuSting) that
people had reputations and in not using some
little of the evidence that, understand, was

class in room, No. Ii II is managed by Miss
| Springer. This was the first room entered by
\ the Committee and was opened by the teach
en- reading the first chapter of John in the
New Testament and prayer-the children re-
peating the prayer after the teacher. In this
and the adjacent room are deposited the rough
blocks, which are to be hewn into shape, by
the educational process, az they pass through
the different departments. Numbers I. and
2. are of the same class and are rather pri-
mitive specimens of humanity. No. 2. Is
taught by Miss. Mcdonnell. Every thing
about these schools was in complete order az
any school can be kept in, where the children
were just taken from the street and placed in
training. They appeared little warkwad
at first, but we saw afterwards that they i'm
proved greatly by the time they had arrived
at the higher classes. Too much credit can
not be given to the young lady teachers of
this City, who have to curbthe will, mend the
habits and graft the first rudiments of educa-
tion upon such rough stems. II requires pa
thence and perseverance to accomplish this
great woodwork that Ii but stability ap-
precated by the parents Of the children gem
orally. 1t is in these schools that the first
impressions of youth form the character of
after manhood and usefulness consequently
much depends upon the character and quail
fications of the teacher.

highly satisfactory. No. ]. contained "a boys

performed their parts we'll In No. the ex-
ercises of the scholars were geography and

served upon the wall many very pretty draw
ings with chalk which were the work Of the

No. q contained 80 girls and is taught by Miss.
Husbands. No. 8 contained 80 boys, and is
taught by Miss. Quimby. Miss. Rumford has
tho whole school under her management, and
il is conducted in manner, that is calculated
to do her and all the teachers concerned, con-
siderable credit. We have seldom seen a
school, either public or private in which there
is better order. Among the scholars we no
ticed lad, ofeight or nine summers, who we
were told was the son of John Aiken, grocer,
Market street, who, without exception ex-
celled any youth we ever saw in reading.
His perfection is certainly credit to his tutors

Is THR WANT OF EDUCATION THE CAUSE

ID TIKI WANT OF EDUCATION THE CAli5E
OF CRIMEF
This Ia question that interests the public,
and should be answered. We will say, so far
as the newspapers chronicle events, it is not
30. In the rural districts of this country, the
people are not in as high state Of cnlture as
in the densely populated cities neither do
we find crime in as high state of culture in
the country, as we do in the cities Murders,
larceny, and every other species of crime will
be found among the educated, as we'll as
among the ignorant. Ignorance did not make
Key seduce the wife of Sickles nor did igno-
rance make Sickles shoot Key. Ignorance did
not make Webster kill Parkman, or Doctor
King murder his wife. Ignorance did not
commit the numerous murders that We hear
charged to the Germans in the different parts
Of the country-for the Germans are public
school educated people--and, in fact, in our
business, we have never come across a Ger
man who could not sign legal instrument.
Ignorance did not instigats Doctor Gardner to
commit that stupendous fraud upon our Go
vernment In which a half million OF dollars
was involved neither did Ignorance send
Judge Vondersmith to the penltentiary for
forgery. Ignorance commits small erimes-it
