ography, as well as the former subjects, Civ
ing an eminently practical plan for teaching
those branches, which was highly commend
ed The exercises of the first day were
completed by Mr.. Adams lecture on YER
MONT in the evening. The second day
was occupied with practical instruction in
the same branches, together with school
government. Remarks were made by Rev.

common schools. At the close of those re-
marks, Dr. Cushman moved that vote Of

THAT MESSAGE FROM JEFF. DAVIS
Speaking of the message from jeff. Davis to
the President, which was brought by Col.
Taylor under the flag of truce, the Tribunes
Washington correspondent says that liberty
is not given to print the message, but all may
be assured that its purport was not only un-
important but frivolous, impertinent, and
even defiant. 1t had nothing to do with ne
gotiations for peace or for an exchange of
prisoners. The correspondent further says
There can be no doubt that the privilege
of the flag was abused for the purpose Of de
laying our advance, obtaining information,
and, perhaps, communicating with traitors
here. The first and third objects Col Tay
lor did not accomplish but If he fslled Of
the second, it wasn't the fault of the officers
at Arlington, who supplied him with newspa
pers, conversation and look at the forti6ca-
tons. 1t may be said in their favor, howev-
er, that he could learn nothing to the rebels
advantage within our lines of earthworks, or
of type.
