The regular annual examinations of the
Public Schools commeBced On Monday last,
and will continue during the week. On
Monday four OF the primary schools, those
under the charge of Misses Ham, Mckay,
Phares, and Cody were examined by the
Superintendent, Mr.. Ltavitt, and we learn
that the exercises were highly interesting
and very crediisble to the teachers and
pupils.
Yesterday we had the pleasure of wit
Messing the examination cf two of the pri-
mary sch0ols-one taught by Mrs T, mis-.
assisted ty Miss Phares, aud the other
fought by Miss O'Byrne, assisted by Miss
Warren. The two under the charge of Mrs
E gleslon and Miss Eaton we did not visit,
bu' learn from these present that they did
finely. Our expectations, from the known
character of the schools, were more than
exceeded by the manner in which the chill
dieu went through the different recitations
ss'ect,d by the Superintendent from that
portion If the resding and spelling books
passed over By them during the past term.
The little fellows seemed wonderfully
pleased at the interest taken in their vel
fare 10y large number of visitors, aud the
care they lCok TO a,quit themselves credIta-
bly, was uuu ually enttrtainiug.
I In botn these primary schools the exer-
cises were interspersed with singing. Miss
Z o Byrne, in particular, seems to have devo-
ted considerable attention to this accom-
plishment, aud Der little girls showed them
selves apt scholars. The spelling aud read
ing in all the classes told of the patience
and care Of the teachers, while the order
that ervaded the school rooms. end the
regularity with which the children went to,
aud retired fror, their recitatious, also
spoke volumes in praise of their painstak-
ing Instructors.
In the eight primary schools examined
on Monday aud Tuesday there were, dur.
ing the past term, s94 children registered.
The attendance on examination day was
74s-averaging 80 to zach school This lie
crowding these nurseries too much for
healthy growth, Ard there is no doubt but
what additional primary schools will have
10 be opened this Fall.
To-day the " First Boys and First Girls
intermediate" will be examined at the
Upper School House, the boys in the morn
Rg and the girls in the afternoon.

New YoRk, June "a The Charleston
Mercury of the 18th, says in relation to the
battle of the previous day:
The Federals made three charges with
the bayonet on the Confederate battery uu-
der com Dand of Col. Lamar, once without
firing single volley. At each discharge,
il says, great gaps were visible in the Ysn-
kfe lines The Federals finding the bat
terry men uDyielding next tried aanking
movement on both sides, and that on the
west sieeseriously threatening the rebels for
time, but reinforcements coming up the
Federals were repulsed The rebel loss is
stated at forty killed and one hundred
wounded. The rebels say they buried 40
Yankees and captured 20 prisoners. The
Federals carried off their wounded, which
the rebels estimate al 400. The account is
evidently one-sided and will doubtless prove
less fatal to life on our side and more inju-
rious to The rebels than here stated.

scattered betW cen that city and Clinton.
A few days ago Gen. Williams sent Col.
McMIllen of the Dist Indiana, with a guard,
to sieze some property. As they were GU
the road, they were FIRE upon by two CURE
rilaS, aud Colonel NcMillen was slightly
wounded with buckshOt The guard fred
upon the seoundrels and killed one and

Gen. Williams wrote to Gen. Butler for
