Halleck and Burnside.

Il ia noticed in General Hallcck's re-
port that he is particularly severe on
Gen. Burnside. In fact, his presenta.
tions go to prove that Burnside is not
fit to command brigade. Well, then,
why was Gen. Burnside appointed to
the command of the Department OF
Ohio, after he had SO badly failed in
Virginiar We say, frankly and ad-
visedly, that Gen. Halleck is RESPONSE
BILE for the selection of Burnside to
the Department of Ohio.
We relate some facts on this ques-
ton, 10 which we invite the attention
of the Eastern Press
After Gen. Wright vacated the De-
partment Of Ohio, the President, in
conformity with the suggestion of
many of his best friends, rendered the
Department of Ohio to Gen. Fremont.
When Gen. Fremont few days there.
after called upon the President to re-
ceive his fnal instruction, the Prcsi-
dent, somewhat embarrassingly said
that he thought he could not carry out
his intention, as Gen. Hallcck had vi
olently opposed the comforting of that
post upon Gen. Frcmont-particular-
ly because the people of Kentucky
were hostile to the emancipation proc
lamation of Gen. Fremont. In fact,
Halleck's opposition was so violent
that the President was compelled t.
yield his intentions. Burnside was
then selected, and our Information was
that this appointment was made with
the approval of Gen. Hallcck | We
derive these facts from what we deem
unqucstionable authority, and they
certainly place the judgment Of Gen.
Halleck in no creditablc light. Most
of the ounces whom Gen. Halleck SO
thoroughly exposes in his report, are
his own selections, and the people
should throw upon Gen. Halleck the
discredit of their failure. He affects
now to favor General Grant, because
Grant is strong but after the battle
of Shiloh, his cold, icy manner, near
ly drove that great soldier from the
army.-Milraukee Wisconsin.

West Union Public School.

While passing through West Union
recently, we, in company with J. w.
Shannon, Esq, visited the Public
School in that place. A large school
house, two stories high. has been
erected during the past season, at a
cost of between three aud four thous.
and dollars. There are two large
rooms on each floor, furnished with
blackboards, outline maps and other
necessary apparatus. Mr.. E. B. Wake
man is the Principal Of the School,
which is divided into four Departments,
and he is assisted by Mrs. Wakcman,
Miss Jennie Hines, Miss Ada Close
and Miss Brayman, all Of whom ap.
peared to be we'll qualified for their
positions 80 far as the limited stay we
made in each room would enable US
to Judge. Upwards of four hundred
scholars were present on that day, all
properly graded, and apparently stu
dious and orderly. 1t was rich treat
to us to visit large and we'll conduct
ed graded School, convened in a.spa-
cious and commodious house, and we
regretted that our stay was necessa-
rily so short. The citizens Of West
Union may we'll be proud Of such a
School it is an honor to the place
and reflects credit upon the enterprise
and public spirit Of it's people.
While in the School, we thought Of
Charles City and Of the Indifferent ed
ucational privileges which our chill
dren enjoy, and we wished that suita-
BILE provisions might be made for q
successful and efficient Graded School
in this place. There is an urgent ne
cessity for such School here, and If
our citizens but realized the benefit it
would be to our community, we doubt
not the necessary arrangements would
be made, at once, for its establishment.
