In the report of the retiring State Com
missioner of common schools, we find
that the number of schools where German

and the colored schools number one han

The Navy Department, we are informed

in matters of this kind such action should be

PolltIcs In Ihe Army.

A more dangerous experiment was
never hazarded by men pretending to
sense than the introduction into the army
of the political questions now agitating
the people at home When the President
issued his first proclamation last fall,
threatening to issue a SECOND proclama tion
on the first of January following, emanci-
pating the slaves of all the States then in
rebellion, MCCLELLAN. with the instinct
of a good soldier forbade the discussion
Of that matter among his soldiers. He
knew that it would lead to disorganiza-
ton. None but fools, or men desperate
because no other expedient was left them,
would have appealed to the army, expect
ing it to be a unit in advocating the same
Abolition doctrines which its members
had repndiatsd hufihg aheir whole qives
and against which they had solemnly pro-
tested even when signing their names tC
the roll of enlistment. In our judgment
this appeal Is, the army by such tTicksIeri
= as 'foD and MoRTos, and the answers ,bl
such tools as MlLRoy, HVRLBuRr and 9th
ers looking for promotion, will neither in
timidate the people at home, encOurag
and invigorate the army, nor crush out III
rebellion. On the contrary it will divide
sJlfsorsAnize, demoralize, and, in the epd
+. possibly break up our military organiEs
