The BEGINNING Of the End.

Some time since family of contra.
bands came to misplace from Martins.
burg, Va. Soon after their arrival they
applied for and gained admission to our
Union school. The Board of Educa.
tion thought that SO long as no COM
plants were made they had no right to
exclude them. We here copy section
of the Ohio school law, which is Sufi.
cient complaint for their expulsion from
white schools, where they are disgrace
to the community and degrading to the
white children who occupy seats in our
Union school:
"And all such schools so established
for colored children, shall be under the
control and management ofthe board of
education, or other school officers, who
have in charge the educational interests
ofthe other schools; but in case the av-
erGge number of colored children in
attendance shall be less than fifteen for
any one month, ii shall be the duty of
said board Of education or other off,
GERS to discontinue said school for any
period not eGceeding Sir months at ana
one time, and if the number of said col
ored children shall be less than fifteen,
the directors shall reserve the money
raised on the number of said colored
children, and the money so reserved shall
be appropriated for the education of
such colored children, under the direc.
tion of the township board"
Our Interpretation of this section Of
the law is, that colored children shall
not mingle with white children in our
public schools, but that. so soon as ff.
teen can be collected, separate school
shall be opened for their benefit. If this
programme, as inaugurated here, is to
be carried out, how long will it be be-
fore negroes will run for, and hold of.
fee in oppositionNto white men, and will
compete with US 10 all the civil walks
of life, This is btt the beginning Of
the end.

Wool in New York.

The market for Wool has been ex-
ceedingly inactive the past week, and,
though quite firm at the date of our last
report, the tendency is now toward lower
prices. The bids opened at Philadel'
phia to-day, though too late to have any
influence upon the market, will, when
known, have very depressing effect

The Way that Wars have DeSO-
lated the Earth.

We find the following in the New
York Tribune:
Napoleon and the Revolution sacri.
feed 100000 of men. The scouree e
of Asia, GenghiS Kahn, massacred 2OO,.
600 in the capture Of province, and
during a reign of 81 years destroyed
100000 per annum. Of the famous host
of Xerxes, numbering 100000, only
5000 escaped destruction. At Auster-
litz, $4,000 fell; at Borodipo, 100000,
and as many at Waterloo. Our war has
given occasion for no long sieges, yet in
that of Paris 10000 people perished
from hunger alone. European history
is full of shocking pictures of the horrors
suffered in beleaguered cities, from all
of which the war for the Union has been
free. Famine destroyed more lives when
Titus was besieging Jerusalem than this
contest can possibly require. There is
less sacrifice of life in modern than in
ancient warfare.
The heart of Europe was so devasta.
ted by the war Of 1855, that twenty con.
tiguous villages were left without sin,
gle man or beast. Such of the pGpula.
tion as had not periShed had been driv-
en- by starvation from their homes. The
Thirty Years. War of the seventeenth
century came nearer to war of exter-
mination than any contest of modern
times. The population of Germany was
reduced from twelve millions to three
millions, while that of Wirtemberg sunk
from 100000 to $4,000. In some dis.
tricts the population actually died out
so that over vast tracts of fertile coun-
try, abounding in highly cultivated
farms, there grew up immense forests
But what matters it, ifthe whole Uni
ted States be desolated in the next gen.
Grafton the forests appear again. !,
The contractors aud Office holdeFs oi
this Administration are getting rich, and
their children cs67 spend thsirl foftunes

DlED-0n the Sd day of May, 1868, at the
residence of her uncle, in New Philadelphia,
LIZZIE, daughter of John and Harriet RObb,
of scarlet fever, aged one year two months
and one day.
The gentle one has passed away,
Too lovely far for earth;
flushed is the music of her voice,
Around the social hearth.
That sunny head so bright and fair,
No more shall shake in glee;
Her dear sweet voice now sleeps in death,
Her face no more we'll see.

Shooting ARRAY il the ARMY
A shooting affray bet%etn L'eutenan
Herring, of the First Tenn, 9SSee' ahc
DR.. Hannah of Clarksville, las oee"
attended with fatal result. A p srso"
al difficulty had existed for some t"n'
between the parties, and about nin
O'Clock Oh Sunday morning the Lieuten,
ant, with four men, appeared at DR.. Mer-
rtt's door, near Hardinsville, KY, and
asked for DR.. Hannah Being inform
eG that the Doctor was up stairs, the
Lieutenant, followed by two soldiers, and
Merritt, went up the stairs to Hannam's
room. Herring was much excited, and
on coming in the presence of Hannah,
ordered him to get ready and accompany
him under arrest "By what authority
do you arrest me2" asked the Doctor.
"This is my authority" said the Lieu
tenant, presenting revolver. With a
quick movement, Hannah wrenched the
pistol from Herring's hand, and spring
ing back, stood on the defensive. One
of the soldiers fred three shots in rapid
succession at the Doctors head-none
of which took effect. The affray at
once became general, and in the rapid
discharge Of firearms it was impossible
to tell from whence the shots came -
The hand.to-hand fight closed with a
hand.to.hand struggle, which ended in
the rapid retreat of the two soldiers, Sc.
verely wounded with pistol shots, and
the throwing of Lieutenant Herring
over the bannister down stairs by the
Doctor. Hannah staggered to a bed
mortally wounded, and Herring died in
few minutes after the fall. The train
from Bowling Green brought all the par
ties to Clarksville The wounded men
are kindly cared for, and life hangs sus-
pended by a thread. The Lieutenant
sleeps the sleep that "knowS no waking"
and Hannah fingers from day to day,
dying, but not dead" A wife and
three children, living in Cincinnati, are
left to mourn Herring's loss.

The town has been laughing DYER
new story about the President.
A worthy and very pious minister, it
seems, had recently, by means unknown,
escaped from the confines of tho Con-
federacy. Though very much diSgusted
with its temporal, he had high respect
for its spiritual condition. Their rulers
we're praying men, he said; jeff Davis
himself was an earnest Christian, and
was constantly in the habit Of seeking
the Divine blessing on all his undertak
ings. II tell you" he exclaimed, God
always answers sincere and fervent pray
er; and it is because Mr.. Davis and SO
many of his people have so hnmbIy bow.
ed before the throne of Divine grace
that he has vouchsafed them so many
merces and so Signa!ly prospered their
cause"
"But," interposed Impractical preach
er, with whom he was conversing, don't
you see that they pray on this side for
success just as earnestly as the rebels do?
Mr.. Lincoln is man of strong religious
convictions, and, doubtless, prayS con.
stantly to God for success to crown our
arms. Don't you believe God will
hear him just as quick as he would Mr..
Davis?"
>"Well, yes, l suppose he would" very
simply and sincerely responded the first
minister, ''only no matter how much Mr..
Lincoln prayed, God ,Could be sure to
think he acas only joking, as usual"
