ing valuable letter on the subject OF Mtred
Schools:

Prof. W. ~. HaRnan: .
DEAR Sir y = =
To the teachers of the Common Schools oil
Louisville 1 can only give my own expert
ence. I am fifty years of age, and have
spent forty five years of that time in the
sch oolroom; was educated at the University
of Virginia, and at the best preparatory
schools in that vicinity. l have been
teaching in Maysville since 1887, and ID
connection with the Aaysville Seminary, as
Principal, since June, 1885. Our scdooi
has always had two departments, male an d q
female, in separate rooms, but so located
| that each is under the immediate supervision
of the Principal The ages OF the PuPhs
rauge from twelve to twenty-five. Males
and females recite in the same classes, ou'
have their appropriate seats separate from
each other; in this way a wholesome spirit
of emulation is awakened, which is never
felt a purely male or female school. But
the lost i'm portant feature is the moral 10
| huence which is exerts over the sexes AS
ISOLATED together as they are from day to
day in the same scholastic exercises, they
are brought to look upon each other as mem :
bers of the same family engaged in the same
great work of mental and moral improve
meut. In period of thirty years, with q
school varying from eighty to one hundred
pupils, about an equal number of each sex

quencss resulting from their association, but
have, from year to year. become more fully
convinced that no plan is so well calculated
to secure correct habits Of study, proper
discipline refined manners,and good mora Is
Such ia brief is my own experience on th
ubject.

Yours truly,

THE KILLING OF GIBSON MALLoBY-THF
PARTY CHARGED WITH THE KILLING Re-
LEAsED.-Our rtaders are no doubt familiar
with the killing of the Hon. Gibson Mallo-
~, on the Bardstown pike, last Tuesday
night, the particulars of which were given
in the Democrat the following day. Sub
sequently, j. House, of company d, Ninth

ling, but averred that he was unde positiv 9
orders from Lieut.. Gyrer, who had COM
mand of the men. House, after his arrest,
was sent to the barracks and placed under
confinement A further investigation Of the
case by the military authorities developed
the following facts, as we have been inform
ed by Col. Fairleigh commander of the post:
House, who was uDder the command of the
officer of the guard above named, was sta
toned on the Bardstown pike, about one
mile beyond the first toll gate, with instruc-

halt, which they refused to do. The order
to halt, was given four or five times before
the soldier discharged his musket, in1ict
upon Mr.. Mallory a wound which caused al
most instant death. House was yesterday
released from confinement by order of Gen
eral Burbridge.-LouisviHe Democrat.

Coal OH FOR WOUNDs.-An Assistant
Surgeon, writing from Gettysburg. says that
what water to a wound in an inhame ed state,
coal oil is in a suppurating state-it dispels
flies, expels vermin, sweeteus the wounds,
and promotes a healthy granulstion. He
states that he has seen patients, whose
wounds have been dressed with it, asleep
before he was through with the third -
This is remedy easily applied in our hos

The Monument to the Defenders.

To The Editor cfhe National Republican:
sIR' In your issue of yesterday you very
properly called the attention of your readers,
and OF our citizens generally, to the propriety
Of raising funds for the erection of q suitable
monument to the heroes who fell on the 18th
of July, in defending our city, and in protect
ing 1t from the devastations of rebel army.
Through the influence of Gen. Meigs, 1t is un-
derstood that the Government has made pro-
vision for place of burial, and, no doubt, 1t
riH provide suitable monument; but 1t seems
TO be eminently proper that our citizens, and
especially property holders, who have been
saved from the devastation of property and
homes, should have the opportunity and priv
ilege to show their respect for our defenders
who have fallen, and their loyalty and sym.
pathy for the Government, which Is doing SO
much for our protection. Let the amount be
raised in sums of IS or less, SO as to give @
large number of citizens the privilege Of CON
tributing something; and let the money be
paid into the hands OF Gen. Meigs, who shall
be authorized to make such an expenditure Of
1t as shall meet his wishes in providing such 0
monument as the circumstances seem to de-
| mand. An OLD CITIZEN.

FULLER, OF THE NEWARK JOURNAL

Mr.. Fuller, editor Of the Newark IN. j.
Journal, recently arrested by Gen. Dix upon
the charge of preventing enlistments and 9th.
erwlse crimIually giving aid and comfort to
the enemy, was Frank Pierce's postmaster at
Portsmouth, N. II. During Pierce and Bu-
chanan's administration Fuller exerted all his
energies to uphold Border Rufiianism in Mis-
souri,, and as editor Of the Portsmouth Chron-
iels, and subsequently as editor of the Journal,
at Newark, he opposed every liberal measure
and advocated every Internal pro-slavery pro-
ject brought forward by the rebel engineers OF
the imbecile, anti. Union Buchanan administra-
tion. His recent reasonable declarations, for
which he was arrested, are in keeping with his
past political history. He is brother of Frank
Fuller, late Secretary of the Territory of Utah.
While we are glad that Fuller has been ar.
rested and that he has been brought to trial,
we are at the same time amazed that Gen. Dix
allows such bold opponents of the Government
to go at large as the editors of the New York
Neus.
Fuller is a nothing as compared to Wood.
We hope Gen. Dix will not hesitate TO follow
up the work he has so well begun.

DRIED currants of commerce, as they are mis-
called, in reality grape, ,and free from stone
or pits; they come from the lsthmus OF fCorinth
and several places in the India Archipelago. A
email Spanish currant is sometimes sold in their
stead. Itis the Island ofZante which furnishes
the largest amount of these currants, and their
cultivation is materially lessening, as the
jealousy OF the 0ttomans does not allow large
vessels to enter the gulf for their purchase.
These currants grow on vines like grapes
the leaves are somewhat the same figure, and
the grapes similar; they are gathered In August
and dried on the ground; when kegged they art

the crops Of the present season in the North

EDITOR REPUBLICAN; Why has there not
been some measures taken to call mass meet
ing for the purpose OF encouraging enlist
ments While many are daily putting In sub
stitutes, there is a large number OF our citizens
liable TO draft who do not feel able to erpend
three or four hundred dollars, as the case may
be, but would gladly give hfty or q hundred
dollars to an enlistment fund. Let a mass
meeting be called, and appoint a committee to
| solicit subscriptions to such a fund, and with
little energy draft can be avoided In the
District. viii not some one move In this
matter 1t only needs some one to take the
lead. VIII not Mayor Wallach and the City
