MEETING OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE
The last meeting OF the School committee for
the Municipal year, will be held this evening.
There is no body OF men chosen to transact
business for the city, whose deliberations are
of more Importance, and in which the citizens
are more deeply interested. On the wise and
prudent management of our common school
depend our success as city, and as nation,
quite as much as on our finances. We find in
nearly all our exchanges, coming from other
cities, full report of the sayings and doings of
the School committee, more full, even than that
of the city council. II we are rightly informed
reporters are not admitted, as such, to the
meetings of the School Committee in this
city. Why not? Are not those who have
children to be educated, as much interested
in the management of schools, and in know
ing what is doing or proposed to be done,
as some not thus favored?

XXXVIII OONGREss---First Session.
WASHINGTON. March II.


HOUSE.
The House set apart to-day for speech max
ing.
Mr.. Holman, of Indiana, argued against
the State reconstruction policy Of the Presi-
deut, whose duty is TO execute laws, not to
make them.
Mr.. Hubbard, of New York, spoke in favor
of belligerent rights to declare free the slaves
of rebels.
Mr.. Dumont, of Indiana, made a speech in
support of the war.
Mr.. Bliss, of Ohio, made a speech eulogis-
tic Of the Democratic party.
Mr. Grinnell noticed a remark which Mr..
Cox had made. concerning him, viz, that he
would express his establishment at anything
from him (Grinnell). He (Grinnell) never
raised his arm to assault man in his life but
he now repealed as a foul SANDER the audacity
and base remarks of that member.
Mr.. Holmes reminded Mr.. Grinnell that Mr..
Cox was not in his seat.
Mr.. Grinnell-He knew that, but had left
the call like coward
Mr.. Holman said the gentleman might not
use such terms if Mr.. Cox were present.
Mr.. Grinnell said the lance of Mr.. Dumont
had severely pierced the gentleman from Ohio,
who recently had appeared in Brooklyn, to
support the speech of an "apostate petticoat"
against Miss Dickinson.
Mr.. Dnmont had exposed the Democratic
renegade, aud that was the sore point. They
had the soldiers voting.
Mr.. Holmes controverted that point, but
Mr.. Grinnell said Mr.. Holman belonged to a
very small party, the war Democrats. Not so
with the larger portion of them. He briefly
spoke in derogation of Gen. Mcclellan, who
with his Democratic friends, were leagued
with slavery, and would go down to hell.
The committee arose, aud at five O'Clock

From kentucky.

LOUISVILLE, KY, March IL.
Gen. Burbridge has ordered the arrest Of
Col. Frnnk Wolford for disloyal sentiments, ut
tered by him at sword presentation to him
at Lexington.
1t is understood that Gov. Bramlette has
addressed an earnest remonstrance to the
President against the enrolment and enlist
ment Of slaves in Kentucky, and has notified
kentucky against all who attempt to take
slaves from their owners without their con-
sent. He claims that Kentucky has furnished
more than $4,000 Of her sons to defend the
government and is willing to furnish all that
is allotted to her; that she has proved her
loyalty and must be treated as loyal State,
and that her Constitution and laws must be
respected.

Rev. Mr.. EAToN's LEcTUREs.-There are
but few men who can command the attention
of the public at the present time, on any sub
ject, other than the all-absorbing one, the con-
ling interest is daily presented in our own
country, matters of interest under any other
circumstances, relating to other countries
have become stale. 1t is on this ground we
account for the small attendance at the lee
Church last week. The lectures were highly
interesting and the style of delivery pleasing
and attractive, and we have no doubt at any
other than war times, would draw large and
appreciative audiences.

MATTERS ABOUT TOWN.
Steam Fire Engines.

1t is now very generally conceded that
steam fire engines are a better protection
against loss by fire, than hand engines. 1t
was long time before Engineers and those
having the management of Fire departments,
could be induced to give the subject the least
consideration. The subject was dismissed
with the conclusive argument that while
steam engine was being got in front oil a iire
and the machinery set in motion, such head
way would be gained by the fire that the en-
CINE would be of but little use.
But fair trial for years has entirely chang
ed public sentiment and steam fire engines
are being very generally introduced. There
given such universal satisfaction as those man
ufactured by the Portland Company, in this
city, In which pump is used, invented by
Mr.. A. B. johnson, different from and supe-
rior to any other pump in use. One of the
Portland Co.'s engines was purchased for the
city Of Salem, and during the terrific fire at
Gloucester, was sent for and arrived in time
to do good service in staying the progress of
the flames, after the hand engines had become
powerless. The result is that Gloucester has
ordered two of the Portland Co.'S engines, be-
sides those ordered for Salem and Newbury-
port, and negotiations are going on for engines
for several other cities in Massachusetts and
Maine.
At one of the trials Of the Casco, No. ), on
Saturday, it was found that steam could be
raised sufficient to work the engine, in six
minutes. This fact established, the principal
objection to steam engines is overcome, and
there can be no doubt that in all large towns
and cities, they will, in few years take the
place Of hand engines.

FORTRESS MONROE, March IL.
The reb ell Gen. Fitz Hugh Lee was sent up

Gen. Butler sent portion of Gen. Kilpat
ricks cavalry under Coils. Onderdouck and
Spear, to King and Queen Court House to
deal with the citizens claiming to be non-com-
batants who ambushed Col. Dahlgren. Col.
Onderdouck reports that the 9Th and 9th Vir-
GINA cavalry, with citizens, 1900 in all, were
driven from their camp, near Carrolton's
store. The camp was taken and a number
killed, besides twenty prisoners taken. The
rebels were also driven from the Court House.
A large amount of grain, mills, and store
houses were burned.
FORTRESS MONROE. March II.
Steamer Spaulding, from Beaufort 10th, has
arrived.
Admiral Dahlgren is still here.
FORTRESS MONROE, March ID.
The oyster schooner Julia Baker was
burned by the rebels yesterday morning up

asleep when captured.

s1-The goods from the Bohemian con-
tinue to come ashore and are secured as fast
as possible. There have been mutterings of
complaint against Collector Washburn for
putting such strict guard over them, but it
must be seen If liberty is given to take goods,
If but little value, there will be no protection
for the more valuable. One body was found
yesterday. The shores were thronged with
people on Sunday, and a collision came near
taking place with the guard.

"THEIR WHOLE DUTY.r-The Convention
styled Democratic" held in this city on the
Saturday evening preceding the Mayor cleo
tlon, entered upon their important duties with
all the formalities incident TO the weighty
task set before them. They were to nominate
a Mayor for the city for the ensuing year! So
they began by appointing an old political sta
ger for Chairman,-none other than S. r. Ly-
man, Esq The action of the Convention was
of equal solemnity. After organizing, that
great magician, C. p. Kimbal, Esq, waved
his wand, and "presto," Mr.. Carroll was unan-
imousy nominated How harmonious the
action! The "great powers" that rule the
Democracy of Portland, having been conciliat-
ed by this mastery movement of Mr.. K, the
official account of the meeting, with the i'm
posing signatures Of the Chairman and Secre-
tary, closes with the statement of "the full de-
termination to do their whole duty at the
polls"
The work at the polls gave some eleven or
twelve hundred majority,-to the Union par
ty Having done their ,chole duty as agreed,
the copperheads of this city are in hopeless
minority of some dozen hundreds A very
consoling reflection to the necromancers of
the Democracy, who, on that memorable Sat-
urday night, with the sternness of grim death,
resolved to do their ,ohole duty on the Mon
day following! 1t will always be a question
with many, whether these desperate men hare
done their whole duty, until they throw them
selves from a high mountain or into the sea,
in expiration of their objectionable sins against
their country, in her hour of tribulation. We
have no doubt on that question.

CHATTANOOGA, March IL.
There is nothing important from the front
tonight. The rebels sent flag of truce on
important business; the intention was to
get the location OF our advance posts at Ring
