ANNAPOLIS, Mn, october %, 1853.
Messrs Editor Baltimore american:
The fag-of.truce boat New York, arrived at
the Naval School wharf this morning, from City
Point, with 1s1 paroled men, (eight having died
on the boat on her way up, actually starved to
death.) Never In the whole course of my life,
have ever seen such scene as these men pre-
sented; they Dere living skeletons; every man of
them had to be sent to the hospitals, and the
of them must die, being beyond the reach Of
nourshment or medicine.
/ questioned several Of them, and all state
that their condition has been brought on by the
treatment they have received at the hands Of
the rebels. They have been kept without food,
and exposed large portion of the time with
out shelter of any kind. To look at these men,
and hear their tales of woe and how they have
been treated, one would not suppose they had
fallen Into the hands of the Southern chivalry,
but rather into the hands of savage barbarians,
destitute of all humanity or feeling. If hu.
man means cannot be brought 70 punish such
treatment to prisoners, God, In his Justice, will
ladnch his judgments upon the heads Of any
people who will SO far forget the treatment due
to humanity. ..
II seems to be the policy Of the South to keep
our men until they are SO far worn out as ever
to be unfit for service again, and then send
them of to die; while the men captured by us
are returned to them well clothed and well fed
ready to 20 into the field the moment they ar
rive Within their lines. While would not ad-
vocate retaliation in treatment, still l think
the Government should try by some means Il
correct this crying evil, aud if fair means will
not prevail, then we must fight the devil will
his own weapons.
Yours, in haste, NATHAN.

his patriotic labors for the country
During the last year, until a few weeks since,

this city her mind was deeply exercised on the
subject OF religion, and three months before her
death she became peaceful and happy In the ss.

SCHOOL ACoMMoDATIONs.-[con,inued

SCHOOL ACOMMODATIONs.-[Con,inuedl ]
Of school building, ample and specific ar
rangements should be made for corridors or
passages, stairs, furnace, and fuel rooms, play
or exercise rooms, water accommodations,
library and apparatus rooms, and hall or gen
eral assembling room. The corridors and stairs
should be OF sufficient width to admit free
passage for the pupils, TO and from their res
pective class-rooms, but not for lounging and
promenading purposes. The furnace and fuel
rooms should be SO located, and of such size
and form as to allow of the most convenient
and approved mode of warming, the import
anoe of which is not generally understood
and felt. The play or exercise room should be
such as to afford an opportunity for gymnastic
or other physical exercise, inasmuch as no sys-
TEN Of education can be considered perfect that
does not provide for the proper physical, as
well as mental development, of the pupils. The
assembling room should be of sufficient size 10
seat, in body, all the pupils which can be
seated in the several class rooms, and its form
should be regulated upon such principles as
are most approved in the construction of large
audience rooms. The same may be said In re-
gard to library apparatus and water accommo-
dation but on these points 1t may not be
necessary to particularize.
As the style of public school building will
be controlled chiefly by the taste and views of
the archltect-modifed, 1t may be, by the no.
tions of those who control public affairs-it
may be well to consider some Of the principles
which should be regarded.
After providing for all things necessary for a
school building, the first thing to be considered
in determining the style is the cost, or how the
means are to be provided. If a private indl-
vidual has funds at his command he has a
legal right to spend what he pleases In crafty
Ing his taste on style, though he has no moral
right to squandcr or waste his money in useless
qualification. But when the guardians of the
public interests are called upon to make ex-
penditures for the public benefit, and when the
means must be derived, directly or Indirectly,
from taxation or donation, they have no
right TO incur expense, any further than
necessity, utility and good taste require. By
good taste in a school building we mean a,,-
propriaieness; and such . building is appro-
pirate in style when 1t Is go finished as
not to attract the attention Of people of good
taste 10 anything but the yit"sss of the whole
and its parts for the purposes intended. Mere
show and ornament, without utility, are out of
place. Even that which is useful should not
be so covered and loaded with ornament or
extra finish as to detract from or hide the util-
ity. Elaborate and expensive architecture will
~ ,n,, los. a,
poets TO go TO schoolhouse for specimens of
Roman, Grecian, composite, or continental
styles. Plainness, ncatnsss, substantially, and
fitness are all that should be sought in the 81 yle
of good school-building. Anything more
would be attended with useless expense, for
which the people ought not to be taxed. 49,.
