comparison of the statistics given above with
those previously furnished, much further
interesting and valuable information may be
derived, which we have not now space TO note,
OnJ of the effects however of the existing war
flor nothing escapes its induence) may DO no.
ticed in the marked decrease of the number Of
schools taught by male teachers, whose patri-
otlsm has carried many of them into the field
of war, and corresponding increase in the
number taught by females,
Notwithstanding the unexpectedly great I'M
provement manifested in this way, IN the very
face Of the all absorbing national struggle for
existence, the report shows the necessity for still
further efort,-a further awakening of public
sentiment upon the subject of our schools not
so much that Vermont may compare well with
any of her sister states, but that she may at
tain further absolute excellence in direction
in which she has already gained so much en-
during credit A single glance at some items
of the foregoing statistics will suggest partlcu-
lars wherein there is evident need of improve.
ment. But the following extract, furnished u:
from the report, presents the most startling ar
gument for still increased exertions The Sec
rotary says:
While the past year has exhibited
an improvement in the attendance of our child
ren upon the schools, it is sorrowful fact thai
more than forty -two per cent. of all the school
children of our state have been, regularly alb
sent from school. Surely the annual present
alton Of this subject must ere long arouse
| public attention.

VIM. Rockwell, aged 10 years, and Ira poty
age6 IL years, were yesterday arrested and
committed on a charge of setting fire 70 astack
of hay belonging to C, B, Mann, Esq, of Rut-
land The stack contained about four tons of
hay aud was all consumed,
CAPT DUrToN.-We are IN receipt of a
letter from New Orleans, which says that
Capt Salmon Dutton had been ordered be-
fore Gen. Butler on account Of his letter vindi-
eating tho 7th Vermont, published some time
since IN our columns, but that he came out
from the Generals quarters unscathed that
he has been detached from his regiment and IS
now in command of the barracks in New Or
leans which are the headquarters of the re-
cruiting department Of the Gulf. As the let
ter is, however, without full signature, we
cannot pouch for the truth of the information,
THE 20 VERMONT BRIGApE,-The National
Washington Republican OF the 18th inst,
oonta MS the following:
The Vermont Brigade OF nine months men,
consisting of the Twelfth, Thirteenth, Four
teenth, Fifteenth and Sixteenth regiments, are
encamped across Hunting Creek, three miles
from Alexandra, toward Mount Vernon
This is one of the very finest brisades that has
yet entered the service, and has been warmly
complimented by Gen. Casey and other officers
who have reviewed it.
1t has been placed, temporarily, under the
command of Col. A. P Blunt, of the Twelfth
regiment, as senior officer. He is a sterling
officer, and greatly beloved by his command,
among whom the wish is universal that he may
be permanently assigned as brigade comman-
der.
The brigade have received orders to prepare
to 90 into winter quarters, and are building
huts to shelter them against the inclemencies
of the coming season. 1t is, doubtless, to be
assigned to the force for the Defence OF Wash
ingtOn."
lsT VERMONT BRIGADE.-We have al
ready noticed the fact that General Howe, a
new Brigadier, is now in command of the Is
| Vermont Brigade. We see it stated that hi
was in General Casey's division while tina
General was in the Peninsula; that he is from
Maine; graduate of West Point, and was ,
captain in the 4th artillery before receiving
his appointment as Brigadier.

state Education.

The report of the Secretary Of the Board Of
Education, for 1862, has not yet reached us,
but abstracts lherelrom have been forwarded
TO US by a correspondent at Montpelier, which
we publish herewith, The report is put into
the possession of school officers, but is not gen.
orally in the hands of the people of the state,
and such extracts as we can make room for,
will therefore, it is believed, be of general in
terest TO all concerned in the cause Of educa
ton, We shall endeavor, for this reason, to
furnish to our readers further statistics and ex-
tracts from the report, from time to time, as
we may have opportunity, that our readers
may be better posted in Impractical workings
of our school system and the progress of the
cause of education in the state. We may here
premise that we understand the report shows
that Notwithstanding the public mind is so alb
sorbed, and the public and private pocket so
drawn upon, by the present condition of nation
al affairs, there is exhibited a gratifying i'm
provement in the condition of our common
schools.
The statistics furnished us by our CORES
pendent from the report are as follows:

of the Board of Education.

the Opposition aud chasing the rest ~ in
the present Congress, the Administration
would still have . majority Of four Of she
members yet to be elected, making . msjor-
ity Of z in the House. But there viii be
several Of the Border State members from
Kentucky, Western Virginia, and Maryland,
who will support the measures Of the Ad-
ministration. Hence we infer that the OPP

have resulted in the practical suppression

laen. Granrs Army In Mls.is.ippi.

One of our cotc.iiporaries states that Gen.
Grant Is '.abodt to invade Mississippi. ~
The fact IS Gen. Grants army IS now in
Mississippi Holly Springs Is about seven.
teen miles south Of the Tennessee State
line
s The Tallahatchie river. which Grants
army has probably reached by this time, Is
seventeen miles southeast Of Holly Springs.
The river is very deep. not being fotdable
at any point, and can be crossed only by .
bridge. The rebels burned the bridge about
q year ago, bit rebuilt it. They have no
doubt again destroyed II IN their iato rc-
treat, but our army Is probably provided
with pontoon bridges, on which to cross. 1t
l. believed that the rebels win make stub
born resistance On the south side Of the
Tallahatchic, and the next we hear of Gen.
Grants aruy h Mississippi, will probably
be the news Of battle on that riv er. as'i
As to what General Grants object Is IN
the present movement is : waiter for specu.
iation. It may be that he intends to attack
and capture vicksburg.. but Il is also pre-
dicied that he intends 10 co-opcrate with
Rosccrans in taking possession o. Missis-
sippf and Alabama, lsaving the army now
concentrating under General McClcrnand to
take care Of West Tennessee and North
ern Mississippi, and leaving the occupation
Of East Tennessee to Generals Granger and

Legality Of the Soldier Vote in
A ed H0wa. sa 4fri &.

The Democratic members Of the Iowa
Legislature last Winter voted in favor Of the
law au,horixing tho enlisted soldiers from
that State to vote for State Officers, mem
bers Of Congress, &c. Since the election,
however, which has resulted in favor Of the
Republicans. the Democratic press politi-
clans declare that the Law authorizing the
soldiers to vote Is demonstrations, and they
threaten TO testit bsfore the Supreme
Court s%
In the Constitution Of Iowa, section
and 4 of the article on the Right Of Suffrage
We And the following: as
.Every white male citizsn OF the United,
States Of the ego ef tsenty-one yesrs. who
shall have been . resident Of this State six
months next preceding the slection, and Of
the county in which be claims his. vote ak
ty days, shall be. entitled to vote At al cleo,
tons which are now or hereafter may be
authorized by law. rs &.
2 mo person in the military, uaYal. or mar
inc service Of tho United States shall be
considered . resident Of this State BY being
stationed in any garrison b,rrack. or mill.
tary place OF station within this StAts.''
This We think clearly authorizes scsry
legal male :itixsn Of Iowa Of the age Of 81
years and over 10 vote. The soldiers are
not deprived Of their citizsnship or Of the
right Of suffrage because they have enlisted
in the army, IS volunteers |; and tho above
clause relating to persons in the military
service being considered non-residents, evil
dently is intended to apply to U. S. soldiers
10 the regular army who are stationed At
garrisons Of nilitary stations within the
State BY the Government Of .hs United
Statss This was no doubt The intention Of
the trainers Of the clause. and must. We
think, be 20 construed BY the Supreme,
Court. 80
The Iowa Democrats win fail in their ef.
iorts to invalidats the vote, Of the soldiers,
but win give the latter . fair opportunity Of
judging IS TO who their real friends are. and
Who are not, and when the war is over and
the soldiers shall return to their homes, the
Democracy ia that State viii hear from
them in way that win not be agreeable to
their ambition. .-Ckicdgo journal. 81
