A LETTER FROM zen. LEW VAL
LACE.-At mass meeting in Chicago,
last week, letter was read from Gen.
Lew Wallace, which thus clearly exhibited
the mischevols tendency of the movements
of northern reactionsts:
Singularlv enou gh, the desolatious of
the struggle have, 50 far, been confined al
together to the slave states. Yet portion
Of the people of the free states are not
thankful for their exemption. AS if civil
war were blessed con1tion-something
TO be desired-a lestivltv or a shOw-they
must bring it to their own cities and neigh
borhoods. Doubtless they think to stand
in thei" doors and quietly enjoy the amuse-
ment of battles and the innocent spacta-
Giles of marching armies. This strange
passion can be grat!fed-they have only
to resist the laws. But had they not bet
ter count the cost Had they not better
ask Virginia and Tennessee what civil
war really ISL And for that matter the
survivors of Shiloh and fredericksburg
and Stone river can tell them what gentle
and JOYOUS pastimes battles are. Alb, no !
Constables and sheriffs, and their posses
and processes, would he but straws in the
path Of the rebellion but there is wrath
not to be provoked. On the night Of your
meeting, when your children are assem-
bled, and listening at ease to the iervld APP
peals that will be made them, will they
please remember the seven hundred thous-
and trained soldiers who about that tlme
will take to their simple beds? Remem-
Der them, and be hopeful. They are the
guardians of the repabllc. Their loyalty
has been exemplilieI; each of them has
laid up his

! The Toronto Globe reviews the fgh
at Charleston, and comes TO conclusion
far less gloomy than that arrived at by
some of the croakers on this side. 1t con
cludes thus:

But, considering that the attacking party

OHIO COMMON SCHOOLS.

The Ninth Annual Report ofthe Common Schools
Of Ohio, by Anson Smyth, the State School Com
missioner, gives n clear ard comprehensive state
ment Of the present condition and future prospects
Of our admirable system Of education. From il we
learn that our School system has never been III n
more successful working condition than during the
last year; IL has never possessed more thorough
supervision, and never enjoyed higher degree Of
public confidence. Tho fact that nearly all the
Schools Of our State passed unharmcd through such
year Of trial, proves the excellence Of tho system
on which they are organized and managed. The
present system has now completed the ninth year
Of its o1stcncc--nnd this Of itself triumphantly
vindicates the wisdom Of it's enactment. Some
have raised the objection that tho support Of our
schools is a severe burden upon the people. This
report proves clearly that such is not the case In
many districts no tax has been levied al all, but
supported their schools from the npportionment Of
the fund raised by the State tax. large number
