The School Board have also been deprived
of the use of the greater part of the levy for
1860, there still being due to their Treasurer
from the late Collector some seven thousand
dollars Of the ten thousand levied for the use
of the schools for the wiuter of 1S60-61. As
nearly all of this was appropriated by the
School Board during the past winter, their
Treasurer has been obliged to use, in paying
the debts created on the faith of its antic-
pated punctual receipt, the income derived
from the State, which is insufficient of itself
to support the schools for fortnight. ..
We also take this opportunity of inform
ing the public that the Legislature have al
ready vested in the School Board the Acad-
envy building and fund; and the only ques'
ton as to their power to do so is judicial
one. which this Board have taken steps tc
have decided by the courts. fI 'a ''.'

Extra Session OF the Legislature.

Governor Hicks has issued his proclama-
ton, convening the Legislature to meet in
extra session, in Annapolis, on the Sd day of
December next. OF course this session will
be held for the very reverse of the purposes
and actions of the late disloyal Legislature,
which did so much to distract and mslead
our people, and to place the stigma Of dis
loyalty and disgrace upon the heretofore good
name of our State. The people of Maryland
will expect those whom they lately elected
by such overwhelming majorities, promptly
to wipe out the hateful Legislation of their
unworthy predecessors, and enact such in its
stead as will place her prominently among
those States which are now striving to up
hold the general Government in its severest
trials. State neutrality is worse than hum
buggcry; it is dsloyaty. 1t not only finds
no warrant in the Constitution, but is plainly
forbidden by its whole theory and practice.
Let our good old State take her place with
other patriotic States, and furnish her quota
OF men and means 10 sustain the Government
in putting down this wicked rebellion and
bringing secession to an end. The people of
Maryland have spoken, and they are now
ready to act.

(For the Crilian and Telcgraph,)
The Public School Question.

Mr.. EDIToR--As inquiries arc made al
most daily of the several members Of the
Board of Commissioners of Public Schools,
as to the reasons for the discontinuance Of
the schools during this winter, we know OF
no mode so effectual to inform the public OIL
this subject as through the medium Of COM
munication to you, which wo feel assured
you will publish as an item Of county in
tercst.
The income for the support Of the schools
is derived chiefly from the annual levy au-
thorzed to be made by the County Commits
sioners, and to be collected as other taxes
now are. The sum necessary for the purpose
is not to exceed, in any ono year. fifteen
cents in the hundred dollars, aud is to be
fixed by the Board Of Commissioners of Put
lie Schools. The duty of the County Com
missioners is to levy the sum so ascertained
by the Board of School Commissioners, and
the former have no discretion in the matter
further than to see that the sum required
does not exceed fifteen cents n the hundred
dollars. ..
The School Board fixed the sum for this
year at ten thousand dollars, but the County
Commissioners refused to levy any part of it,
in the pretence tina: the school law is uncon-
stitutional and void, notwithstanding they
have only simple ministerial duty to per-
form, prescribed by law and by their oaths
of office. w
Even were this the case, such mode OF test
ing its constitutionality was very objection
able, as their refusal was communicated to
the School Board at such period as to make
it impossible for the latter to enforce the levy
by judicial proceedings, the shortest time re-
qusite for these elapsing before they could
be instituted. D.. ...-
The Board have, however. taken measures
to correct this in the ensuing year, even
should the new Board follow their example,
which is not probable. The year thus lost
to the growing youth Of our community,
whose parents are unable to provide for their
education, can never be remedied; and the
hardness of the times, so far from being an
apology for such conduct, only increases its
i'll effects, as the number Of parents who are
unable to educate shcir children is increased
thereby.

Col. Mulllgan ut Chicago.

The announcement that Col. Multi
gan was on his way to Chicago put the
whole city in blaze Of excitement on
Friday. A special train, heavily load :
ed, proceeded to Joliet on Friday after
noon to meet Col. Mulligan's train.
Bonfres were kindled about the railway
station, bands were playing in all direc-
tons, and so dense was the crowd at the
approach of the train that the committee
who had been appointed to escort Col.
Mulligan to the platform were pushed
far back out of sight by the cheering
multitude, and when the Colonel ap-
peared on the platform the excitement
was intense. The Chicago Tribune, in
describing this lively scene, says: .'"
"Father Butler, the chaplain of the
Irish brigade, who was present at the
siege of Lexington. forced his way
through tho crowd, sprang upon the
platform, and threw his arms around the
Colonel. The latter returned the en-
brace. Neither could speak, but their
fearful eyes manifested the .hoartiness
and cordiality of the greeting AS the
Colonel stepped from the platform hum
dreds OF arms were outstretched, and q
general hand shaking and embracing
ensued, which lasted for several min

was impossible. One might have tried
as well to walk through stone wall.

Procession and Illumination.

Our Union-loving citizens were so
much gratifed with their late victory
at the ballot box, that they determined
to celebrate it with grand torch-light
procession and illumination of the town
Thursday evening, the 18th inst, was
appointed for the occasion, but owing to
the incemency of the weather, it was
postponed till the next evening, which
also turned out to be quite unpleasant
but our loyal people thought little rain
and snow should not stop them from eel
ebrating a great victory.
By half past 6 o'clock, P. NJ, Balti-
more street began to fill up with people,
and in a short time lengthy procession
had formed, under the Chief Marshal
ship of J. J. McHenry, Esq, assisted
by number of aids, mounted on horse
back. Every person in the ranks had
prepared himself with torch or trans
parency, which bore patriotic, or witty
sentiment. The vast procession marched
through the streets OF the city, and
was greeted every where with enthusiast
tic cheers.
The illumination was a grand affair.
At least nine out of every ten houses
were lit up. Quite number Of persons
who had not heretofore associated them
selves with the Unionists, had their
houses saily illuminated, and otherwise
participated in the patriotic dcmonstra-
ton. The procession was dismissed on
Baltimore street, about nine o'clock, af-
ter an eloquent speech from George A.
Pearre, Esq.
The whole affair passed off in most
quiet and orderly manner. Not a single
instance of improper conduct occurred
during the celebration. The few dark
houses that here and their met the eye
of the procession was passed by in ST
lence.

Flag Presentation.

We had yesterday the pleasure of seeing
the beautiful Regimental Flag, presented by
our patriotic young fellow citizen, Mr. Robt.
Shrivcr, to the I'd Regiment Potomac Home
Brigade. Tho flag is of blue silk, with heavy
bullion fringe; on one side is the national
coat of arms, handsomely painted on the
other, tho title I'd Regiment Potomac Home
Brigade" is emblazoned .f
The whole affair is beautifully executed,
and reflects credit upon the manufacturer,
Mr.. Gibbs, of Baltimore. The unexpected
departure of the Regiment from our town
unfortunately prevented public presenta-
ton. From our knowledge of the "boys"
we will guarantee the flag in safe hands
when in front Of the enemy.
AT a meeting Of the officers of the Regi-
ment COL Thos Johns was deputed to make
a suitable acknowledgment of the elegant
gift. We give below his letter of accept
ance:-

A Blow In the Right Place.

The hearts of the people run over with
great joy at the fact that the war has been
implanted on the soil Of South Carolina.
They are ready, remarks the Wheeling H.
teiiigencer, TO say as captive Israel said:
Remember, o Lord, the children of Elom
in the day of Jerusalem: who said razc it,
raze it, even to the foundation thereof" 1t
is the one State for which the loyal people of
the country have no bowels Of compassion
10 make it u wild waste would better meet
their wishes than anything else. 1t has been
a garden of constant disease and dcath-a
treacherous quagmre selfish, proud, aris-
tocratic, labor hating, ever complaining, and
ever exactng State Now it will have some
thing to feel. Now it may raise the Niger
howl sure enough Tho wolf has come this
time, and South Carolina, that never yet lost
negro by runaway or abduction, will find
herself conliscated from border to border.
She will lose millions of dollars worth OF
as poor and as desolate as a Mexican rancho
before this war is over Whoever and what
ever else may escape, the people Of this coun-
try have made up their minds that pestient,
ovorbearing, treason fomenting South Caro-
lima shall feel the keen edge Of the sword
clear to the very quick of her marrow.
Up to this time she has feictated herself
that she was having nice thing of it, The
borders were receiving the blow which she
had provoked and she was nicely and snugly
out Of harms way. But that dream is dis
PEELED, and verify the Philistines are upon
her. Our troops willwork while the sun
shines. The winter is the season for them.
When Spring comes it will behold South
Carolina as she was and as she is even yet,
no more. A fearful reckoning is in store
for her. .- ...i

The Restoration OF the Baltimore
= and Ohio Railroad,

Notwithstanding the public aneasiness in
our own State, as well as in the West, in re-
gard to the prolonged delay of the Govern
ment in the rcopcning Of the Baltimore and
Ohio Ralroad-now so much needed on all
accounts--wc are glad to learn from the BAL
timore american that the Company itself is
vigorously taking advantage Of such protec-
ton as has already been afforded by the adj
vance of General Kelley to Romney. On
Friday last the two important bridges at the
North Branch of the Potomac and at Pattcr-
sons Creek, east of Cumberland, which were
burned by the Confederates in June last,
were entirely completed and ready for use
again. This, with the repair of the iron
bridge at the South Branch, eighteen miles
east of Cumberland, opens at once and re-
stores to full use the road as far east as Little
Cacapon, twenty miles from Cumberland
Green Spring Run Station, sixteen miles east
OF Cumberland, and the nearest point on the
railroad to General Keleys headquarters at
Romncy, (bcing but sixteen miles distanh is
likely to become an important military posi-
ton. ".'
As soon as the Government forces extend
their protection further down the line, the
bridges at Little Cacapon and Great Cacapon
twenty and forty miles east Of Cumberland
respectively be promptly restored thus
opening the line from Cumberland to Han
cock, distance of fifty miles. Large guam
titles Of materials, and ample forces of work.
mon, are fully provided by the Railroad
Company, under the energetic management
Of Messrs. Wilson, Superintendent, and Quinn
cey and Porter, Assistant Superintondents of
the track and bridge departments. The
opening of the line to Hancock will at once
greatly facilitate the general travel and the
man between tho east and west, and will
particularly prove advantageous to the peo-
pie of Western Maryland and Virginia, who
have been so long, in great measure, iso-
lated from Baltimore and the National
Capital.
1t is, perhaps, not altogether prudent to
state what measures are in progress in re-
gard to the restoration of the eastern end OF
the district in which the road is destroyed
say between Tarpcrs Ferry or Sandy Hook
and Hancock. This portion OF the line, run
ming through Jefferson, Berkeley and Morgan
counties, in Virginia, is forty-ninc miles in
extent, through which, for two-thirds of the
way, the road is built at distance Of from
eight TO fifteen miles south of the line of the
Potomac and the Maryland border. From
Cumberland to Hancock, OH the contrary,
the upper half OF the disturbed district, the
road is built almost entirely upon the south
ern bank of the river opposite the Maryland
shore aud the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal.
We look with much interest to the pro-
gress of the good work of again bringing
into use this more than ever indispensable
line. We trust the Government has tie will ,
as we believe it has the ability, to do its ne
ccssary part in securing this desirable result
