School Meeting.

The Electors of the District Town.
ship of St. Charles assembled, March
10th, 1862, pursuant to notice. The
meeting was called to order by the
Secretary, the President being absent.
A. B. F. Hildrcth was chosen Prcsi.
dent of the meeting.
The Secretary submitted his annual
report as follows:
At the last annual meeting Of the
electors of this District Township the
school house fund in the hands of the
Treasurer, after paying outstanding
orders was $62,s7. Due teachers $3.50.
We were then on the verge of finan-
ciaf crisis which deprecated the cur
rency in gcnerel circulation, nearly
stopped the payment of taxes, and
embarrassed the interests of the Dis
trict, by the depreciation OF funds in
the Treasurer's hands.
The Board of Directors at the regu-
lar meeting in April, authorized the
Director in sub.district No. 2, to pur-
chase site, and make contract for
building a school house in that sub
district, subject to the approval of the
Board. Acting under that authority
site was purchased and and a school
house built. ....
The Director of No. 8, finding it
i'm, ~ AL 20 t,,v 20 In
room for the Primary School. and that
the rent and repairs involved great
annual expense and constant change
of place, made arrangements for the
purchase of building if the Board of
Directors thought it expedient The
building could be purchased and re-
paired for $ll2, and occupy the ground
where it stood two years, while the
amount appropriated to the sub.dis-
trict for rent and repairs for one year
was $l05. The Board approved the
plan and authorized the purchase and
repairs.
The amount for which orders
have been drawn on the School House
Fund for the year is $l023,70, of
which $794,37 was for permanent fix
lures and improvements, and 1928, SO
for contingent expenses.
The Board have endeavored to man.

riot with economy, and believe they

The attendance in our schools is

II proposed TO be paid for them from the United

the Shareholders of this District against the acts
OF those who are legislating to deprive them Of

that they may strengthen themselves indi

The Escnpe Of the NashNIII..

As the Secretary OF the Navy has been as
sailed on account OF the escape OF the Nashville
from Beaufort II may be stated that on the
very day Of his hearing Of her running tn.
blockade, he tclcgraphed to the naval command
ing officer al Boston TO send oil to Beaufort, as
soon as possible, the two gunboats that were
reported as flashed al that point, and was an
swercd tlat they would BE- ready to proceed to
SEA in three or four days. But IL turned out,
on account OF Il defect In the condenser Of the
engine of one Of the boats, and want of prcpa-
ration Of the other, the departure Of the vessels
was deferred Notwithstanding the urgent d.
rcctions of the Secretary until the lilh, and
when they arrived at Fortress Monroe, the
Nashville had escaped. The commanding off
Ger at Norfolk had no vessel 10 send. and, un
fortunately, the Georgia, which had been of
Beaufort, was obliged to come into port for
want Of coal.
An effort was made to get of in season n
gunboat which was in q state Of preparation at
Baltimore, but In vain. All this urgency Of
Secretary Wrllcs arose particularly from the
fact that he knew that burnside was to attack
Beaufort, when, of course, the Nashville would
seek 10 escape. So IL appears that the Secretary
made every possible effort TO prevent the eS-
cape in question; and all the abuse o; him OF,
this head is utterly without foundation. Al
this moment he has not vessels commensurate
TO the wants OF his Department, and hence biz
appeal to Congress 10 authorize the construc-
ton Of sU large u number of sea going ones. --

FREE nEGKOEs.

Free negroes have been coming into this Dis
trict for generation past and never more
rapidly than during the last six months This
District has, in fact long enjoyed the reputa-
tion Of being " the paradise Of free negroes"
Slavery has always existed here, as II does To-
day, but experience has not shown that II has
had any tendency to keep free negroes out II
might with much more plausibility be said.
that II is slavery which has attracted them here.
But the moment IT is proposed to abolish
that institution, our city fathers manifest ter
riblc apprehension that to doso will be followed
by an alarming influx Of free negroes But
they have not condesccnded 10 explain in what
particular the abolition Of slavery will change
the laws in respect to the immigration Of free
blacks, or what connexion there is in point ol
fact between the two things.
Upon general view Of the whole country
there are more free negroes in the States which
tolerats slavery than in those which prohibit it
That Is the fact, whatever the explanation o.
II may be.
We know, by having tried it, that slavery
has not kept free negroes out Of this District
Let us now try the experiment Of abolishine
slavery here, and see If Il works any better In
that respect. 1t cannot possibly work worse.
Our own view of the subject is, that slavery
produces social and industrial condition
which favors the growth Of q free negro popu
la,ion, and that il our only object was TO pre-
vent such growth In this District, the mos
effective measure we could take /, to abolisl
slavery here.

new. These men have been In power here for
twenty five years, and never before gave any,
body reason to suspect that they were in favor
OF emancipation in any form. Not one of them
ever proposed measure of that sort before,
