Our extra Of yesterday afternoon gave
particulars Of two days battle al the
front. A tremendous effort has evidently
been made by the expiring rebellion to
destroy Rosecrans' army, by conctntra-
ting against IL force too large for him
to resist with the least probability Of
success. Bragg and Johnston have been
reinforced by two of the finest divisions
from Lees army, EwelPs and Long
streets; by 1900 troops from Georgia,
as reported on high authority; and also
by heavy reinforcements from other
quarters.
The rebels attacked US on the 10Th,
with the most sanguine expectations OF
not only defeating, but routing and cut
ting to pieces the Army of the Cumber-
land. They rushed upon our gallant
army like an avalanche; but it seems to
have been an avalanche dashing against a
mountain. If the rebels fail 10 drive our
army back from Chattanooga, after their
extraordinary concentration Of force
against it, they will have failed TO
achieve their great purpose, and are bad
" defeated themselves.

Can thoy take Care of Themselves.


Can they take Care of Themselves
~ Mischief makers are continually en-.
deayoring to trouble the community by
assuring hem that the blacks are wholly
unable TO take care of themselves; tina
they are SO idle and thriftless and de.
bauched, not indisposed to follow any
honest means of livelihood, that our
society will become intolerable if they
are ever set free. We do not know of a
better reply TO this pitiful stuf than TO
state the fact that amid all the excitement
and extraordinary troubles of civil war,
the black people of this city have been
carrying on no less than eight highly
respectable schools which are attended
regularly by some six hundred pupils.
or these schools six are individual; the
other two are under the management of
trustees. Three of them are IA West.
three in North, and two in South Nash
vile. The trustees, and teachers are all
Americans of African descent;" no
white person interfering, in any wav.
The Government is in no way concerned
ia that affair. Now, what 10 aur nolicy
and duty in this matter We can en-
courage the blacks in their efforts
to acquire knowledge, by speaking
kindly of their limited efforts to build
up schools, aud by other more subs an
tial help at times; or we can break ND
these schools as nurseries of mischief
and sedition. Which course ought we
to adopt? Suppose we look around us
and inquire who make the most useful
andsindustrious servants, the grossly ig-
norant or the intelligent negro. Who
commit terrible crimes most frequently.
the brutAlly degraded or the well-in-
formed and sprightly? Reasoning on
mere theory, man of common sense
would say that negro whose mind was
enlightened would be less savage and
brutal, than one who was kept in gross
Ignorance, and would be more likely 10
be peaceable and observe the rules of
civilized society. We can appeal to tho
negro in two ways; we can say "Go TO
your work, and if you do not perform the
Job well, you shall be dashed on your
back !" or we can say; "Improve your
mind; work and you shall receive lust
wages be honest and obey the laws
and yea shall DO protected Which
appeal will be most effective, we leave to
tie common sense of mankind.
oeltAinly all must confess that the |
hand will do work faster and more skill. |
fully when it is directed by an intelB. |
gent mind, than when it is debased 10 |
