ro,rop JOURNAL by your indulgence the
..1orscned desire to give your readers, and
a.necially the patrons of the Public School in
,rorville. a view of its condition at the late
examination ,n.,o,
This was all that could be desired. The school
.,om was full, from the little primary scholar to
no Grammar classes, and faces as cheerful and
,looming as May flowers greeted us heartily A
.orornlly kept roll of scholars in attendance
dorinr the past year, showed woful delinquency
an tbe part of either the scholars or parents But
sorle scholar had attended every day during
ho wear. and not more than six or eight had at
tended sufficiently regular to keep along in their
classes. This last fact reveals the prime reason
Of no greater progress with some of the scholars
STUDIES.
These are as paried and extensive as the time of
one teacher, and the capacity and progress of
.bo scholars will allow. In the several studies
,ybch require constant illustration, there is a
Great want of globes, maps, &C., &c, which are
,ndispensable to the success Of both teacher and
scholars
PROFICIENCY.
In each study we found thoroughness and
cear comprehension of the branches taught,
which would certainly be ereditable to students
IN higher institution. At every step the great
care Of the teacher. and unmistakable evidence
of the clear understanding Of the scholars. was

VISITORS.
Several were present-in the afternoon a few
ladies'. But we cannot f0rbear to say that there
is strange apathy aud want of interest on the
part Of parents in this respect
In conclusion, we would say that in all respects
discipline varied studies and proficiency in
view of the great want of apparatus, the school
is in fine state Of progression. II acher Desiy

most laborious and assidnogs labors, and we deem

we're of the most liberal and beautiful character.

The Legislature Of Maryland, by Proclama-
ton of Gov. Hicks, assembled at Frederick on
the 2sth, instead of Annapolis, owing to the
latter city being occupied by Federal Troops
Governor Hicks message is very defective.
The Governor says that he protested before
hand against the passage of Federal troops
through Maryland, but that his protest was
not listened to. Here he fails to state that he
assured the President and Secretrry of War
that there was no danger of trouble in Balti
more that, notwithstanding the Mayor and
Police Marshal were Secessionists, tho Minute
Men, three thousand strong, we'll organized
and under his control, were faithful ut once to
the Union and to Gov. Hicks, and would put
down every attempt at mob violence. He fail
to state that it was ON the faith of these as
surances that troops were sent through Balti
more in such small numbers and SO i'll pre-.
pared for street fighting. .......-. -...,
The Legislature will pass no secession ordi
nance. Resolutions with that intent had been
introduced, and the direct vote on Secession in
the House stood b3against Secession, IL for it
The Senate has published an address denying
any intention to pass Secession ordinance.
Resolutions were offered in the Legislature,
and referred to select Committee, saying il
more troops were necessary for the defence Of
the Capitol, they may be transported over the
railroads of Maryland.
A resolution was adopted to appoint com.
mittee to wait on JEFF Davis and Governor
Letcher to bring about an understanding
whereby civil war may be averted.
The Secessionists dare not use the power
suddenly acquired. They say all is lost and

A correspondent ut Cairo writes that Col.
Prentiss in command at that place was visited
on the LIST inst. by Gen. Buckncr, commander
of the Kentucky militia The result of the
interview was additional guarantees on the
part of the latter that Kentucky was deter
mined to maintain neutral position, and that
she would not allow the confederate troops to
cross her soil to invade any Northern State,
nor countenance organization Of any portion
of her own citizens for that purpose. In re-
turn she required guarantees on the part of
the authorities of Illinois that her territory
should suffer no invasion from Illinois troops.
He protested against bockading the rivers at
that point, and claimed that the jurisdiction
of Kentucky extended to the Illinois shore.
Col. Prentiss sent the following despatch to
Gov Yates of Illinois on the LIST inst:
Seventeen hundred stand of arms were land
ed at Columbus, Ky, last night, twenty miles
from here. Seven pieces of cannon were land
ed yesterday at Paducah. One company from

Gen. Scott.

Just before the arrival of the newly called
troops at Washington, and when the city was
daily and hourly expecting an attack from jeff.
Davis's rebels, there was the most intense
anxiety and apprehension and no one was
more keenly affected than Gen. Scott. Fol-
six days, with the mail cut off and the tele.
graph wires cut, he continued to be greatly
excited. On Sunday, Monday and Tuesday
he dispatched officer after officer to Annapolis,
some of whom found it difficult to get through
on foot or horse. Finally the government
seized the road to the Junction, and the New
York and Massachusetts, troops working thei
way at the other road, friends met in arms
and the road to the Federal Capital was open
There were however, but few accommodation
even then, rs the Baltimore people had KEEP
nearly all Of their passenger cars and engine
out Of reach Of the Government.
General Scott has now left his house and ia
ken up day and night quarters at his Office
He is feeble in body, but very clear, compre
hensive and active in mind. Dispatches a,
rive almost every hour, night and day, born
by videttes from every quarter of the District
and by officers beyond the lines. He demand
the fullest information from everybody, ant
before the New York troops arrived, declare,
that he was prepared for an attack from 10 ,OO
men by Virginia or Maryland, if they invade'
the Capital. His great anxiety, grief an,
doubt have been the disafected citizens in tn
the District of Columbia, scores of whom hav
left, but many of whom, even now, remain
but all are known and watched with lynx
eyed vigilance.

Six regiments, the quota for Indiana, are
now fully organized, four of which will, it is
understood, march as soon as armed. The
arms are now arriving. In addition to the six
regiments $500 men now in Camp Morton,
will be mustered into the service of the State.
The Governor continues to receive offers from
all parts of the State.
A company of 393 men, all over SO years of
age, has been formed as home guard at In
danopolis.
The Legislature has passed bill appropria-
ting $500, 900 to arm the State. Enough COM
panies have been offered to the Governor in
this State to make fifteen regiments. All In
diana is for war. Ten Tennesseeans, slave
owners, have enlisted in the ranks Indiana

War Meeting.

A mass meeting of the citizens of
the 4Oth Senatorial District of the
State of Iowa was held at St. Charles
City, on the 4th of May, inst, for the
purpose of raising a volunteer compa-
ny to serve in the defence Of the Gov
eminent of the United States.
+. A. feeling, of Floyd county, was
called to the Chair, and G. j. Tisdale,
of Chickasaw county, appointed Sec
rotary. The chairman stated the
object of the meeting, when the Hon.
J. II. Powers was called, who read a
communication from the Adjutant Gen
eral of the State, requesting him TO
organize a volunteer company, and
urged the Importance of prompt action.
Hon. Oran Favilc then addressed
the meeting. His speech was well
received, able, enthusiastic and patri.
otto. A standing vote was taken to
ascertain the number present who
were willing to go in defence of their
country, when As men promptly re.
sponded.
On motion, committee of three
was appointed by the chair to draft
an enlistment roll, viz: r. w. Monta'
que, Z. A. Haskell and j. II. Powers
The meeting then adjourned to es.
cort the Floyd company to the Hall.
The meeting was again called to
order. Committee on roll reported
Report received and adopted. Persons

1t is said that companies of volun-
teers, enough to form three regiments,
have already rendered their services
to Governor Kirkwood, and every day
adds more or less to their number.
The local columns of Iowa news
papers are filled with notices of the
organization of Volunteer Companies.
There is scarcely town of thou
sand inhabitants that is not making
efforts to send at least one company
and some of not half that number try
to do so. We think from indications
in the newspapers that nearly hun.
dred companies will be offered
enough to form eight or ten regiments

In reference to Missouri Stocks, on which
much of the Illinois currency is based, the
Missouri Democrat says:
"The entire taxable property of the State
of Missouri is about $500, 600 900, and the
revenue to be annually raised to support tn,
government, and meet the interest ON tn,
State debt, is some 81 500 900. Add to thi
the amount provided by the Legislature to b
raised from the poll tax, and some other small
items which the Auditor foots up $500, 600
and it will be seen that our resources are am
pie to keep the credit OF the State in perfect
" sound condition. The interest due on the
first of July next is provided for, and if per-
feet solvency and prompt payment Of interest
on oil Indebtedness is an evidence Of ability
to carry liabilities, then Missouri Stocks are as
safe an investment as can be made, and there
is no reason within the range of a pecuniary
consideration, why they should not be at par.
In regard to reputation, As we have be-
fore intimated, that can only follow a dire ne
cessity, and the known ability precludes such
necessity. This brings us to an interesting
point in connection with the subject, which is,
that three millions of the bonds of Missouri
are basis of the issues Of the Illinois banks,
and that money is now being discredited in
consequence of the depreciation of those stocks
in the New York markets. But the deprecia-
ton is certainly not in want of financial
soundness in the State"

The other day the Springfield, Mass.
Armory sent $4,000 muskets to New
York for arming the New York volun-
teers. There are still 10000 muskets
in the Armory ready for transporta-
ton. So it will be seen that the Gov
ernmcnt is not wholly destitute, not.

e. Co. This Armory has been turning
out 500 rifle muskcts each month,

which treason might attempt.

Hundreds of men, who had gone to Pensa.

The sober, orderly conduct of all
the soldiers in Washington amazes
the inhabitants. On Sunday there
were services at the Capitol, the Sixth
and Eighth Massachusetts, regiments,
with some of the Pennsylvanians,
worshiping together in the Senate
Chamber, and the Seventh of New
York in the House. Impromptu choirs
were formed, which showed that these
wonderful Yankees were as good al
psalmody as at repairing steam
engines, building railroads, mending
bridges, baking bread, and managing
steamboats, and ships.

The Fort Sumpter BOmbardment.
1000 REBELS KILLED

Capt. Carson of the Schooner B. B
Pitts, from Charleston, states that h
was at the wharf near Fort Moultrie
during Sumpter's bombardment, and
that Sunday night sixty dead bodies
were carried across his track to land
and Monday night forty more were
carried out at one time and sixty at
another. Capt. Carson and mate saw
and CO united the bodies and says all
the soldiers were sworn to deny any
loss of life.
A grocer lately arrived at New
York from Charleston, who was i'm
pressed into the service Of the rebel
army and escaped by concealing him
self on a vessel, says that at the bonn
bardment of Fort Sumpter at least
1000 rebels were killed /; 400 were
killed in Moultrie, and 80 at once by
Anderson's first fire.
A soldier who served at the guns
in Moultrie, says nearly every shot
from Sumpter killed somebody. Be.
tween three and four hundred we're
killed there, and a large number
wounded during the siege. The killed
were inferred at night at the Potter's
Field. Many were killed in dwellings,
outside of the Fort. Laborers were
threatened with death if they dis
closed the facts about the killed. The
people are constantly inquiring for
friends, and are assured they are at
Sullivan's Island. Another, who was
at Morris Island, says $50 men were
killed there and 40 at Sullivan's
Island. They make the same state.
ment relative to the dead being buried
at night. They also state that the
negroes only want their leaders to
give the word, when the slaughter will
be terrible,
