MoRB OF THE BANKS DEsPoTIsM-THE
LITTLE NEGROES TO BE EpucATEp.-In-
stead of letting the freed negroes alone,
to work or starve as they please, Gen.
Banks has set them to work for wages !;
and now he has further outraged their
natural rights by providing for the edu-
cation of their children. We are told by
the last news from New Orleans
On the Goth of March, Gen. Banks is
sued an order for the establishment of a
board of education in New Orleans for
the purpose of providing for the educa-
tion of the freedmen in the department.
The board consists of Col. H. N. Frisbie,
twenty-second corps dAfrique; Lieut..
Il. M. Wheelock, fourth corps d'Afrique,
and Isacc G. Hubbs of New Orleans !;
and is charged with the duty of estab-
fishing one or more common schools in
each school district that has or may be
defined by the parish provost marsbals
under orders of the provost marshal
general to erect school houses, employ
teachers, and in all respects exercise the
same powers as school officers in the
northern states. In order to provide
the requisite funds for this work the
board is empowered to assess and levy
a school tax upon real and personal
property, including crops of plantations,
in each school district. The taxes so
levied shall be sufficient in amount to
deiray the cost and expense of estab-
fishing, furnishing and conducting for
the period of one year the school or
schools so established in each district.
In the performance of all their duties.
the board is to cooperate as far as prac-
ticable, with the superintendent of pub
lie education, recently elected, and the
current school year is to be estimated
from February 1st, 1864 to February lst,
1865.

From the Vermont Brigade.
NEAR BRANDY STATION, VA,
March 81, 1854.


Editor Ratland Herald An upusua
amount OF rain has fallen here during
the past week and cold north winds
have prevailed as might be conjectured
since the ranges of the Blue Ridge are
still covered with snow
In spite of the cold weather, one sees
many indications of Spring, in the vicin-
ity of the outposts. Robins and other
birds are numerous and lively; the red
dish brown of the hillsides is rapidly
changing TO green, and beyond the lines
the farmers are blowing as if intending
to put in their crops as usual. In that
large region occupied by the army, how
ever, there is little left to mark the
changes of the seasons, and in fact a
large portion of Virginia might well
adopt those lines of the poet
Seasons return, but not to me returns
sprung, or the sweet approach of even or morn"
Target practice, by Az three arms of
the service, has recently taken the place,
In part, OF the ordinary drills, through
out the army. This most essential
branch OF military training has been,
heretofore too much neglected, and
wonderful improvement has already re-
suited from the few hours thus far de-
voted to its practice. Owing to the
long range of the rified musket now in
use, smsltvariation in the aim, or a
slight error in estimating distance, even
ifthe aim is accurate, will render the
fire OF regiment directed against line
of battle quite within range, entirely
harmless.
Six deaths have occurred in the Sixth
Vermont during the past Winter. The
measles, typhoid fever and pneumo-
MIA have been the prevailing diseases.
1t must interest all friends of the soldier
to know that the hospital arrangements
of the regiments here, have been this
Winter, as nearly perfect as possible un-
derthe circumstances The beds are sup
piled with everything necessary for COM
fort by the Sanitary Commission; an
abundance of suitable food is furnished;
reading matter is furnished by the Chris
tian Commission and other sources, ex-
perienced nurses are on dnty at all hours
ofthe night and day, and it is certain that
only in very few cases could the sick
receive better care at home than here.

THE PROCLAMATION NOT OBTAINED BY
PREssuRR.-In a letter written by Owen
Lovejoy to Mr.. Garrison, in February
last. and just published, Mr. Lovejoy
said:
Recurring to the President there are
a great many reports concerning him
which seem TO be reliable and authentic,
but, after all, are not so. 1t was cur
rently reported among the anti-slavery
men of Illinois, that the emancipation
proclamation was extorted from him by
out ward pressure, and particularly
by the delegation from the Christian
Convention that met at Chicago. Now,
the fact is this, as had it from his own
lips He had written the proclamation
in the summer, as early as June, think,
but will not be certain as to the pre-
else time,-and called his cabinet to-
gether, and informed them that he had
written it, and he meant to make it
but wanted to read it to them for any
criticism or remarks as to its features or
details. After having done so, Mr.. Sew
ard suggested whether it would not be
well for him to withhold its publication
until after we had gained some substan-
tial advantage in the field, as at that
time we had met with many reverses
and it might be considered cry of des-
pair. . He told me he thought the sug-
gestion wise one, and so held on to the
proclamation until after the battle of
Antietam. / mention this as a sample
of great many Others

HOLY MoSpAY.-Yesterday was quite
gala day among many of the men,
bers of the Catholic church, the season
OF Lent having terminated. We under
stand that no less than four happy
couples had the courage to face the
lion and go through the ordeal of
matrimony-This may account, in a
manner, for the unusual turnout of this
class Of our community. That they were
having good old: fashioned time, no one
could doubt who happened to be on the
streets in the afternoon.

THE BARKER FAMILY--Don't forget that

The press everywhere speak in warm

their determination not to submit to the

Republican says:

that Anderson is really entitled to credit

GEN. MEADE.-Washington correspon-
dents say that Gen. Meade has submitted
a written statement in regard to the con-
duct of the battle of Gettysburg to the
committee on the conduct of the war
In this statement he denies emphatically
and explicitly that he contemplated or
issued at any time during the action an
order to retreat to Taneytown or to any
other point. After his arrival at Get
tysburg, he asked several corps comman-
ders to act as his temporary chief of
staff. As they all preferred to remain in
command of their corps, he addressed
similar request to Gen. Butter1eld who
consented. He then directed Gen. But
terfield Immediately to collect all possi-
BILE information relating to the roads
leading to the rear. In giving this in
struction to Gen. Butterfield Gen Meade
states that he had no thought of any
retreat, but merely aimed at obtaining
information which any prudent general
would consider necessary for an intelli-
gent understanding of the field of action.
Gen. Butterfield, on the morning of the
second day of the battle, drew
up an order directing all trains and
baggage to be sent to the rear. This or
der gave the occason for the assertion of
various officers that an order to retreat
had been given. Gen. Meade states that
Gen. Butterfield showed him the order,
that he told him it would not answer,
and that if it was issued, it was without
his authority. This statement of Gen.
Meade is corroborated by Gen. Gibbon
and other generals, officers and members
of his staff.

LOCOMOTIVES FOR THE GOVERNMENT
During the past two months a number
OF locomotives have passed over the
Troy and Boston Road through this vii
lage bound for the Southwest, where
they are to be used in the service of the
Government for transporting supplies,
ETC., to our armies. They are from the
large locomotive works in Boston and
Taunton, Mass, and are substantial and
powerful looking engines. We learn
these works turn out on an average
one locomotive week for Government
use, and in a good many cases, engines
intended for companies In the east, have
been appropriated by Uncle Sam. The
companies submit very cheerfully, how
ever, and conclude they can afford to
wait until Government is supplied.

We call the attention of all men
and more especially that of the black.
guard that vomited his filthy slang from
the Methodist pulpit on last fast day, tc
the communication of "Alpha." If a re-
taller of slime and filth is not completely
ventilated it is because the subject was
too disgusting to be handled closely. To
show how his harangue was appreciated
by all decent men, we state the fact, that
large numbers of his political friends ina
mediately upon leaving the church de-
nounced him in unmeasured terms
Aaain.an eEnrt-Kas made to have his
written, labored production published, but
these same political friends were so dis
gusted with it that not one could be pro-
cured to sign a request for its publication.
It was so outrageous, blasphemous, silly
and vulger that even the pot house sheet
down street dares not insult its readers by
laying it before them. Why don't this
