The act incorporating this Bank sets
apart annually 100000 70 the common
schools, and S1s, 600 annually 20 Academ-
les. In connection with this there were
from various sources Of revenue deposited
in the Bank as a school found, about
S2,OO0,0OO At one fell blow Governor
HARRIS and his aiders and abettors swept
away, not only the uRdistributed diyi-
dends, but the entire amount producing
ouch dividends, together with the 3d.
100000 school fund Thus the INDECENT
children Of the State Of Tennessee are. by
such inexcusable dishonesty, deprived Of
the means of education. ALI this must
be suffered by the people TO crafty the
inordinate ambition and pressing wants
of lawless demagogues. How long viii
the people of Tennessee permit their sa-
cred rights and dearest interests thus to
be trampled under foot?
Suppose kind and providont mother
had, by close economy and unremitting
industry, accumulated money for the
education of her children had carefully
laid it away for this purpose, holding it
too sacred to be appropriated to the daily
wants and pressing necessities Of her
family. Suppose that an armed force,
learning the existence of her little treas
ure, had violently entered her house,
wrested the key from her and carried
off her money TO enable them TO continue
a life of bloodshed and dishonesty.
Where is the cheek that would not flush
with anger at recital Of the outraged
and where is the arm that would not vol
nnteer to redress the wrong and restore
Che treasure?
Yet, when the State of Tennessee, like
q tender, fostering mother, with an afTec
tionate sOlicitude, had, by such pru-
dence and economy, accumulated and
carefully set apart such fund for the
education of her children, and this fund
is stolen and carried away by officers,
whose sworn duty was to guard and pro-
tect it and devote il 70 She noble, benevo-
lent purposes Of education-not solita-
ry secessionist utters murmur or COM
plant against this surreptitious seizure.
They seem to look to who did it and not
to what was done.

THE WAR

What the remote results and effects OF
the war in the United States will be, it
is, at present. impossible to determine.
That it has certainly given an impetus to
military science, there can be no doubt.
That it has completely changed the sys-
tenn Of naval warfare is evident. That it
has directed the minds Of all men to war,
is certainly true. II has filled the col
umns of the English and French press
with cOllated and classified facts, from
which theories and systems are sought to
be educed. It has suggested COMPARE
son of the military resources of the United
States with those of France and Eng
land, ss well &c With With ether nations. 4
has induced Spain, England and France
TO institute means for the acquisition of
Mexico to one of these powers IL has
caused Spain to cast longing looks to-
wards other territory. It has improved
and increased the military efficiency of
Canada. II has infused into all the
European powers renewed desire for
conquest and territorial possessions. 1t
has led all men to think, to write and
speak upon war. The mind of the civil
lied world seems to be engrossed in this
all-absOrbing subject. Almost every ma
ton is charging its army, amending and
improving its tactics and discipline, and,
where possible, augmenting its naval
strength.
All this can only be greatpreparatory
process for series Of long, bloody, de-
vastating wars, and end-the Lord only
knows where That there will shortly
begin great trans atlantic national
changes, we think, is Swallowed forth.
What they are TO be, in what precise
manner brought about, or to what they
will eventually lead, we can scarcely
conjecture. Therecently attempted rev.
oluiion in our country may prove the
salvation of our people by placing us in
martial readiness for such a condition Of
things, and for which we could not 9TH
erwise have possibly been prepared.
Let harmony once more be restored
between the North and the South let our
fraternal relations become as intimate as
formerly, and no power on earth can
withstand us.

and artillery. There are four full batteries
attached to the division. We had four regi-
ments at Stevenson, but they al escaped.
Buiord's regiment OF cavalry and an infant
~ regiment left Huntsville for Oorinth but
two days before the Federal cavalry entered.
Our informant states that but few OF the
citizens Of Huntsville lett, although many
had received limitations Of the probable
approach of the Federalists several days be-
fore the place was occupied,
We had eleven locomotives at Huntsville
and large quantity Of cars, but IL is believ.
ed that the most OF them were removed
West before the Federals had an opportunity
70 seize them.
Among the soiouIners at Huntsville was
the Hon, John Bell, Of Tennessee. II is
believed be left the day before The Federal
cavalry reached there.
Our informant heard at Chattanooga, that
the invaders had destroyed The large and
splendid bridge across the Tennessee river at
Bridgeport. Ii is also stated that $50 Con
federates, who were guarding the bridge at
Decatur, &c miles west of Huntsville, on
the Memphis and Charleston Railroad burnt
that structure upon hearing that the FEEDER
els had occupied Huntsville.
The destruction of these bridges and the
occupation of Huntsville and Stevenson by
the Federals, effectually cuts.on communi-
cation between East and Wet Tennessee ex-
eept by a very cirouitous and extended
route which touches at Petersburg

We are informed, by a person residing
in Edgefeld, that there are twenty eight
families of private soldiers of the rebel
army, residing there, who were left upon
the promise that they should be fed and
clothed, during the absence of the SOL
diers, by the citizens of that place. On
last Saturday, one of these wives was
seen, with three little children, in the
market-hOuse, crying, because she had
no money with which to buy marketing
for herself and children, and saying that
she had not a mouthful to eat at home.
When the Confederates were here, the
citizens of Edgefeld held regular meet
ings in the churches for the purpose of
raising means for the support of these
families, and on the subscription lists
were ostentatiously displayed names
with large sums affixed for this purpose.
What have become of those subscription
lists? We would like to see them?
The fact is, now, that these poor sol
diers are no longer regarded as useful to
them, their miserable wives and children
are left to beg and starye.

Southern Intelligence.
FaIl or Fort PuIaal.i.
Fram ths sarnnnah Vow. lllh-


The favorable reports which reached
as yesterday morning from those who,
from points below, watched the contest
between the enemy's batteries and our
garrison in Fort Pulaski, had not pre-
pared US for the startling intelligence of
the surrender Of the fort, which reached
us about 10 O'clock last night.
A courier arrived in the city last night,
from whom we learn that the fort was
preached in several places by the heavy
rIhed parrot guns, twelve Of which were
in the Kings Point battery, distant about
mile and quarter from the fort. Early
in the day all the guns in the barbette
except wo,,were dismounted or otherwise
disabled by the fire of the enemy's bat
teries, and seven of the casemated guns
bearing on the batteries disabled. The
shot and she'll OF the enemy's batteries
having made extensive breaches in the
walls of the fort, their fire was directed
towards the magazine, the location of
which they had doubtlessly learned from
tieserters, anu which was in imminent
danger of being exploded, having been
preached in three places.
The Fort having become untenable under
the terrible fire of the heavy guns OF the
enemy, nearly all guns that could be
brought to bear against their batteries hav-
ing been disabled and the magazine being
in imminent danger, longer resistance was
deemed hopeless, aud the Fort was surrend-
cred about two O'Clock in the afternoon
We are gratified to be able to state that
the casualties on our side were very few.
Four men were wounded, but none killed,
We understand that two of the Oglethorpe
Light Infantry lost a leg each. member
of an up-country corps lost portion OF his
arm below the elbow, and was slightly
wounded in the shoulder, and Lieut.. Chris
topher Hussey, of the Montgomery Guards
was slightly injured by a brick Knocked from
the wall of the Fort.
Our informant states that the effect OF the
enemy;s batteries on the walls of the Fort
was utterly demolishing, and that the strong
masonry, heretofore deemed almost impreg
nable, offered but feeble resistance 10 the
steel pointed shot of the immense Parrot
guns. The result has shown how little re-
lance Is to he placed in brick walls against
modern batteries

aeneraI. Harrow and Harding.

Generals Harrow and Harding.
The removal Of Generals BARROW and
HARDING was most melancholy specta-
Gle. The scene that ensued on the eve of
their departure affected many to tears.
They were both born and reared in this
county; they commanded respect and
esteem they were honored with the con-
fdence of the people they were the
owners of broad acres, fat kline and pal
atial residences; they were furnished
with every luxury and surrounded by all
the appliances Of wealth costly tables,
splendid equipages, and servants in live
ry. How hard that they should be sepa-
rated from all these Injuries. No wonder
our secession friends utter so many la
mentations over their sad fate
Let us look again. In Edgefeld, al
most beneath the walls of Gen. BARBOw's
princely mansion, and on the very skirts
Of Gen. HARDNG's extensive park, are no
less than thirty families whose only de-
pendence for support was the daily labor
of the heads Of those families. These
poor men were induced TO forsake their
families by such men as Gems. BARROW
and HARDING, and spend their nights and
days upon the tented field; and, at last,
many of them have poured out their
hearts blood on the battle-ground while
many more Of them have been taken
prisoners, as priyates, and their families
have been left utterly destitute, some Of
them even begging for bread. Copious
tears are shed and loud lamentations
heard at the recital OF tho sad fate Of
their deoeivors, while the names Of the
deceived are either forgotten or remem-
bered with a careless, unsympsthetie
smile
Itmay ba weakness in us, but we
confess our sympathies go out in search
of the poor, bereayed wives and helpless
little children Of ihe common soldier ;
for these our tears flow; and in their
wretshedness and woe, the splendid mis-
cry Of their deceiyers is forgotten.

RioHHoND, Va. April 17.--Ohicial dis
patches received at The War Department last
night from Lee's farm, on the Peninsula,
state that the enemy commenced a furious
bOmbardment Of our lines at 81 o'clock yes
terday morning, which they continued until
o'clock, p NJ Their attack was upon our
centre and was spleuddly repulsed. They
tried to force Gen. Cobb's position between
Lees and Wyune's Mills, waded the creek,
and for q moment occupied some Of our rife
pits, but they were repulsed With heavy
loss Our troops behaved nobly
At 10 O'Clock tonight all was quiet. Our
loss was 20 killed, including Col. Mckinney,
Of the 18th North Carolina Regiment, aud
not over 10 wounded. We also lost artil
lery horses killed, and one howitzsr disabled.
