Oar SchOOIs.-A visit through onr Public
Schools at this time win convince any one that
they are in a highly prosperous and desirable con
dition. A general spirit Of improvement seems to
prevail i'll the several departments, and we doubt
if they have exhibited more
satisfactory progress for some time past, than du
ling the present term. The Teachers seem to be
actuated by the right spirit and they have impart-
ed the same, as general thing to their pupils
The High School under the able and efficient
tuition Of Prof. STONE, the principal, and his ex
cellent assistants, Misses DARLING and PATTERN
SON. is well sustaining the high reputation it has
hitherto acquired, in more prosperous and happy
times. Weare confident that at no previous time
has this Department of our Free Schools been
conducted with more faithfuness or ability, or
more successfully than at present.
But the greatest change is noticeable in the
Grammar School No. 2, unde: the tuition of Mr.
L. GRAHAM. We wish any Of our citizens, who
were acquainted with the status of this school du-
ring the two previous terms, would call in there
now, and witness the earnest attention to study,
quietness and thorough discipline that is prevaN
lent i'll all parts of the rcom;they would hardly be-
lieve them to be the same scholars that were there
u lew ulODlns ago. w u lliluh inc DOdru were Pc
culiarly fortunate in obtaining the services of Mr
Graham for that particular school His ability and
qualifications az teacher are seldom surpassed,
and his faithfulness never. lie has established an
entire new standard of scholarship for the school
over which he presdes
We cannot omit to mention, also, in this cen
nection, the North Ward Or Grammar School No
| !, under the tuition of Mr.. BARNS. This is the
| second term Mr.. Barns has presided over this
school, and it is the unanimous verdict of the pat
rons of the school, that it was never more ably
and earnestly conducted than it has been under
him. Combined with excellent qualifications, ed
ucationally, Mr.. Barns has an earnestness and de
termination to do the very best, that can hardly
fail of success. Progress is the watchword in his
school and his pupils are thoroughly mbued with
the spirit that makes real and thorough scholars.
We might with truthfulness say as much in ref
erence to most of the teachers of the other depart
ments, but we have not room to particularizl
| further.
| The following abstract of Teachers Reports fol
the two weeks ending Nov 2lst, shows the num-
Der of scholars enrolled and the average daily at
tendance 1t will be seen that there is quite g
disparity between the numbers, showing quite too
many absences. Parents should look to it that
their children are not kept out of school for slight
or trivial causes, if they would have them receive
all the advantages of the school;

Important Order.

Secretary Welles has issued instructions
to Flag Officers of the blockading squad
rons. dated April 30th, as follows: ''The
approach of the hot and sickly season
upon the Southern coast renders it impor-
tant that every precaution be used by off,
GERS commanding vessels to continue the ex-
cellent sanitary condition of their crews.
The large number of contrabands focking
to the protecting flag, affords an opportu-
nifty to provide in every department of the
ship, especially for boats crews, acclima-
ted labor. Flag officers are required to OBJ
tain the services of these persons, by enlist
ing freely in the navy, with their consent,
rating them as boys, at from eight to ten
dollars per mouth and one ration. Let
monthly returns be made of this class Of
persons employed on each vessel"

A Sign of the Times.

The emancipation meeting in Hannibal,
Mo, is one of those indications of the cur
rent of opinion that are worthy of notice.
Marion is one Of the heavy slaveholding
counties of the State. In that Congress
SIGNAL district there were over $4,000
slaves, by the census of 1860.
The men, too, who were foremost in this
meeting, themselves shareholders, (several
of them at least, seem to represent a grow
ing opinion in new quarter, in favor OF
Kidding this State of slavery. They are
not fanatics or agitators, but sober minded,
practical men, who perceive the real state OF
the case-that Missouri is in dilemma, her
position repelliug all valuable immigration
and that her only mode of extrication is by
adopting an emancipation policy.
A correspondent gives US sketch of the
meeting; the official proceedings have moi
yet been received.-St. Louis Democrat.

The first conversion of demand notes
into FIVE year six per cent bonds was made
yesterday. It is noticeable event, and will
maj Ike an era in our financial history. Should
the war continue successfully, and the mon
etary initiation continue, we may expect
soon to see a rapid funding of the floating
debt of the Government in this way. OF
course the notes returned to the Govern
ment for bonds will be paid out again, so
there is no danger of a sudden contraction
of the currency by the too hasty retiring of
the circulating medium. Should the entire
unfunded debt of the country be taken up
in this way. it would be the most remarka-
BILE financial feat in history World, 9th.

This Fort was built in 1866. under the
supervision of Major Ogden, of the U. S. A,
whose monument can be plainly seen for
half mile around. It is west of the Fort
half mile. on an eminence.
This military post is situated on tn mo st
beautiful site that could possibly have been
selected Every building connected with
tits of stone, and designed for every posi-
be convenience.
The hospital is one of the best ever saw,
and as neat and clean all over as sheet of
note paper. There are but few patients in
it at present.
The stables-six in number-are kept as
clean as any in your city. They are we'll
ventilated ire-proof and capable of contain
ing. each, one hundred horses.
At the southwest end of the square stands
portion of the flagstaff erected when Gen.
Lyon was here. It was struck by lightning
and shivered to the bottom. A large one
was put up few days ago in the middle of
the square, and the stars and stripes now
float proudly over all.
Junction City is three miles southwest OF
the Fort. The Republican river has to be
crossed by ferry to get to the former place
bytrains going westward from Leavenwortb.

the immense quantity of that beverage sold
