A New CoIored Regiment.

We see the statement going the rounds
Of our Ohio exchanges that Gov. Brough
has received permission to recruit q Sec
ond colored regiment in this State, to be
called the H29th 0. S. Colored Troops"
The regiment will be recruited from the
oolored men Of the State, and ofHcered by
Ohio soldiers, and the recruits for it will
be credited TO the quota Of the State. We
are glad to note this, not only as evincing
disposition on the part Of cur new Gov
ernor, st the very beginning Of his official
career, to declare himself in favor Of col
ored enlistments, but also because We
think it best, for whites and blacks both,
that another volunteer colored regiment be
raised at once. The colorsd men Of Ohio
have responded promptly and pstrioticslly
to the calls upon them. From 1S, 442 free
colored males in the State, ss enrolled by
the census of 1850, they hsve already sent
one regiment of colored troops, and have
contributed men literally for the forms-
ton oftwo Massachusetts regiments. But
more remains to be done, and every motive
Of self-interest, love Of race and patriotism
should unite to urge them to do more.
Our legislature VIII use every effort to
give them the same protection and pay as
our white soldiers, and cur Executive, our
white soldiers in the field and our citizens
ct home will join in giving them encour-
sgemenL
II Governor Broughis wise, he will seek
an aid-de-csmp for this work among the
colOred men themselves, and there is no
better man for the purpose than John NJ.
Langston, Of oberlin. Allied by blood to
both races, his warm sympsthies are with
his despised and enslsEed brothers, while
be is fitted by wealth, talent, culture, elo-
ouence, collegiste education and legal
practice, to challenge as his peer the
proudest aristocrst. When Governor Tod
commenced the work Of raising cOlored
troops, Mr.. Lsngston was commissioned to
recruit for the Fifth United States Colored
Troops, and he went at the job with all
his heart and soul. From that time tC
this h9 has been engaged necessarily al
this work, and owing to his eloquence, to
his zeal and energy, and above ALT the
vast influence which he has over his race
he has always met with the greatest sue
cess. 1t is not too much to say that two
thirds Of the colorsd soldiers in this Slate
were recruited by his personal labor and
influence. By all means let Governor
Brough secure his services.

Holmes on the New England Haters'
Among the letters read at the last dinner
of the New England Society in New York
was the following from Oliver Wendell
Holmes:
Boston, Dec. 16 1853.
Ny DEAR SIR; 1 regret that cannot
become pilgrim myself, and set my loot
on that fragment Of Pilgrim Rock which
forms the threshold Of the Astor House.
II would be q great pleasure to meet my
brethren who have invaded the territory

collections of New Amsterdam and depen-
denotes, tracing one stain Of my blood to g
Dutch ruling elder and his Dutchess, or
female Hollsnder.
1 should go to listen rather than to
speak. 1 should hardly care to have my
voice heard in the company of those whose
eloquence belongs not to New England
alone, but to all Ameries-to sll Edglish-
speaking or readiug comunities-to civil

they speak for liberty, which is the birth
right of sll esrth's dependent children

ting tyrants who have disinHarted them.
There is one temptation you do not
promise me. will 60 great way to see
one Of those persons who have tried to
make favor with city mobs and border
barbsrisns by abusing New England.
1 should have looked with intense curl
osity to see what manner Of persons they
were whose culture entitled them to sneer
at the educational institutions, at Harvard
and Yale, at Dartmouth, Amherst, Will

have brought photographer with me tc
catch the features Of the person whose
learning authorizesi,him to despise her lib
raries, whose taste entities him to scof al
her galleries, whose science can dispense
with her museums, whose knowledge Of the
past fits him to sit in judgment on her his
torians, who can teach her philosophers
how to think and her poets how to sing-iI
short, who can whistle any tune he chooses
better than that eTergrown bagpipe,
foolishly called the "Grest Organ" car

questionable, but Mr.. BsrnUm has neVei
exhibited one of them not one Of them il

California Rirnnc.s.

The annual reviews Of the finances and
commerce Of California have been pub

the past year as one of great prosperity

comparatively few losses, from bad debts
or other disasters. The mines have mod

it is estimated that $50, 500 900 in treas

school instruction and management, among
teachers and school officers.
The adoption Of geneoal course OF
study and instruction for the guidance oi
teschers.
Each Of these measures Is discussed IN
a practical manner, and their efficiency is
clearly shown. In speaking Of q course Of
study, the Commissioner recommends that
summer schools be dispensed with, and
the two terms brought nearer together as
in cur graded schoOls-the same teacher
being engaged for both terms. This plan
would admit of general course Of study
and Of ether improvements greatly need
ed. Children too young 10 attend fall
school are, as general Iule, too young to
attend any school.
The appointment Of Mr.. White is very
fortunate for the State, and his suggestions
are entitled to great consideration.
We trust that the press Of Ohio will give
general circulation to the chief features in
this important report, SO that the people
may understand the worth and glory Of
our common schools, and also what i'm
prOvemsnts are proposed. We may refer
to this report again.

The PresidencT.

It's because people appreciate that such
consequences are at stake that they SO
early manifest purpose to continue Pres
ident Lincoln in Office for another term.
They find in his past success over the
greatest difficulties their best security that
he will be equal to any which the future
may present. The country has many SER
wants, both in military and in civil life,
who have acquitted themselves most no.
bly,; and who, it is probable, could ftly
meet every duty Of the Presidency. Yet
this is by ne means certain. A mans
adaptation to an official place cannot be
perfectly known until it is practically
tested-least Of all to place requiring
such a peculiar combination Of qualities
as the Executive chair, in these extraor-
binary days Of the Republic. 1t is no
time to risk anything. The same wise
policy that would forbid a man OF business
in troublous times to change his agent of
proved efficiency, impels the people of our
country to continue President Lincoln in
his responsible position; and against the
confirmed will of the people, politicians are
powerless.-N 7. Times.

Depleted.
The general impression that the fur
loughing Of our veteran regiments which
have re- enlisted for the war is causing a
depletion Of the ranks Of our srmies is
confidently denied in official quarters.
The number Of recruits and veteran vol
unteers entering the service, and now go
ing forward to the field, is understood to
equal If not exceed that Of the soldiers
returning.
It appears from the records in the
United States Qusrtermaster's Department
in this city IN. Y. that the number Of re-
cruits provided with transportation to the
various points on the coast and in Virginia
where our armies are stationed, average
from three to five thousand each week.
Gne half Of these go by rail and the other
half by water. They include the men en-.
listed in the eastern part Of this State and
part Of the volunteers Of New England.
As the regiments returning comprise only
one to two hundred men each, not less
than twenty Of these organizations belong
ing to the district Of country named must
come each week to make the number oi
men leaving the the srmy-asuming the
average lOE al buS DbebSs " 10 sHS oaA1S
equal to the number joining it; and SC
many regiments do not return. Besides
it is not generally known that some Of the
regiments coming home-particulsrly
those which we're enlisted here-leave con.
siderable detachments in the field. 0ul
regimental organizations are really, there
fore, not so much reduced as they seem t
be.
In the course Of few weeks the grand
march of our regiments to the field, will
their ranks recruited, will begin. Enlist
ments, which are now numerous and in
creasing, will be likely to give many o
quite their original complement Of on'

Warning 70 soldiers.

OF the thousands Of re-enlisted veterans
who have arrived here within the past
week, many have already had occasion to
regret the loss Of their hard earned saw
ings. Reckless expenditure or an incsu-
tious display Of their money while in the
society Of the foul characters Of the city
have led TO this. Many of these returned
veterans were paid of with one, two, and
even three hundred dollars, before their
arrival here. With the esrelessness Incl
dent to csmp-life, they exhibit their funds
in such & manner Gs instantly to attract
the notice Of the hundreds Of shsrpsrs and
robbers who are constantly on the watch
for such sights and some, visiting the
vile houses of prostitution, sWake from
drunken slumber to find their money gone.
Some cases Of this kind have already
come under. our observation, and there
will be many more, unless caution and
sobriety are adhered to by those who have
money about them. Efficient as are ouI
pnlice, they cannot attend to the safety Of
thousand or two Of soldiers who should
have sense enough to look well to the safe
ty Of their purses Cincinnati Commercial

This table shows 3 reduction in the ag-
eregaie school expenses Of the State. This
is due, however, to the decreased wages
which are being paid teachers. The re-
suit Of this is that many Of our best teach
ers are seeking other employments. The
limitation of the local echoOl levy by the
act OF April, 1852, is shown clearly to have
an injurious effect upon many schools.
Mr.. White very properly recommends that
local school authorities be vested with
larger discretionary power to levy taxes,
as they are not at present.

ent school system are clesrly exhibited in
