THE DISTRICT SCHOOLS.

These schools profess to be for the children Of
the People. If they fulfil their purpose, they DO
actually educate the Peoples children; at any
rate they furnish such facilities for education, as
ought to satisfy all, or nearly all, those who have
children to be schoolei.

thickly, that during Saturday night these
troops had hardly sleeping room. The
corps Of the center Grand Division acting as
their reserve was separated from them soon
after the battle had opened, by the Rappa-
hammock. During the entire struggle on
that portion of the lines all but two OF the
batteries attached TO the Right Grand DIyl-
sion and Butterfeld's corps stood unem-
ployed on the lower streets Of the town
Our batteries on the nights on the right
bank Of the river could also render no pro-
lection TO our infantry, as their five would
have done as much damage TO our o"n
troops rs to the enemy, after the former haG
moved tJ the attack.

he must necessarily die from his wounds
With visitors he cOnyerssd on the subject Of

was approaching dissolution. He was ask
