The engagement here yesterday was with
out doubt the most important aud successful
one for the Union arms that has taken place
since our arrival in front of Pctersburgh, -
Not only was the enemy met and defeated at
every point, but the result demonstrated the
fact that they have lost heart in their cause,

dering the baggage tents, and all that theil
officers could do would not induce them to
desist. Those who remained in line fought
with nothing like the enthusiasm they ex
hibited last summer, and many laid dowl
their arms at the first opportunity of reach

On witnessing this the rebel officers de
termlned to return to their lines as RAPIDLY

VIII be admitted for examination after that
time.
In addition to the common branches onnIt
cants viii be examined to their method of
teaching and capacity for governing and mana
glnS schools. Applicants Tor examination will
do well to prepare themselves in Orthography,
as no certificate will be granted to any person
who is not thoroughly acquainted with this yery
important branch of education.
Teachers had better prepare, not only in Or
biography, but In all the common branches. for
we deem IL eNpedtcnt To raise the standard as to
qualifications. Much complaint has been made
and fault found with the Examiners for grant
ing certificates to incompetent Teachers which
has been the case in n few instances at the ear
nest request of school directors who complained
of n scarcity of Teachers. Hereafter no certifi-
cate VIII oe granted except upon thorough ex-
animation.
Many Teachers have been in the habit OF
teaching for some length of time before apply

ante-dute their certificates. This will not be

employ Teachers who have no certificate they
do so at the risk OF paying them for their seryi-

The Queens Speech ON Canada and ti.c
United States. ''

The following is the text Of that part Of the
Queens speech at the prorogution Of Parlia-
ment which relates to the affairs of Canada
and the United States:
"Her Majesty rejoices that the civil war
in North America has ended, and she trusts
that the evils caused by that long conflict
may be repaired, and that prosperity may be
restored in the States which have suffered
from the contest.
"Her Majesty regrets that the conferences
and communications between her Maiesty' 4
North American provinces on the subject Of
the union Of those provinces in n confedera-
tion have not yet led to a satisfactory result.
Such unionwould afford additional strength
to those provinces, and give facilities for
many internal Improvements. Her Majesty
has received gratifying assurances of the de-
voted loyalty of her North American subjects.
"Her Majesty rejoiccs at the continued
tranquility and increasing prosperity of her
Indian dominions and she trusts that the
large supply which those territories will af.
ford of the raw material Of manufacturing
industry, together with the termination OF
civil war in the United States of North
Americn, will prevent the recurrence of the
distress which long prevailed among the
manufacturing population of some of the
northern counties.

The Houston Telegraph justly deprccotc7
the flight of SO many Of the secession leaders
IRON Texas. The most substantial reason
offered is, that the front rank, who led an
unsuspecting people into gi.ef, ought not to
slip the kalter and leave their victims "tho
bag to hold" The people were forewarned,
however. Wigfall told them that the rich
men and the great men would find asylums
in foreign countries, while the rank and file
would be left to suffer. We are inclined to
think that the numbers who have gone to
enjoy "the succedaneum,' already sent for
ward to foreign lands will require division
too large for comfortable quotient. A

show that all has been honest, and that there
was no motive for the short mode OF balanc-

much to divide when they made short work

Decision Of the Court of Appeals on
the Question of "Negro Appren-
ficeshInu I'm MARYLAND.


The following is copy of the decision of
the Maryland Court Of Appeals in the matter
of tho petition Of Samuel S. Costen, the
negro apprentice case taken up by said
Costen, the master, from the decision Of
Judge Bond.
1t will be seen that the Court of Appeals
fully sustains the action of Judge Bond. and
will not entertain any appeal from the deci-
sion in any Of these cases.
Chief Justice Bowie, in giving the decision
of the Court, says: L..
Tho acts Of Assembly and the Code have
declared the cases in which appeals will lie
and the manner and time Of taking and pros
ecuting appeals from Courts of Law. These
are limited to any judgment or determine
tion of any Court Of Law In any civil suit or
action &c., Code, Art. @, sec. 3
The legal Interpretation of these terms
which were derived from preceding acts of
Assembly, has been established by this
Court in the case of Dell US. the State, 4
Gills report, 304, where it was said; sit is
clear we think that the order Of county
Court dismissing the application of the pc
titioner to be discharged from. custody, on n
writ of h7Jeas corpus is not q determination
or judgment of the Court in n civil suit or
action in the contemplation of the act of
l785, chap. 81, so rs to authorize an ap-
peal.
Among the reasons assigned for that con-
clusion are, that the writ of hdbeas corpus is
a proceeding summaryin its character ad-
dressed to the discretion Of the judge Of the
tribunal to whom tho application is made so
far rs the discharge Of the party is concerned,
proceeding where in many cases the evil
dences upon which the Judgment is founded
cannot be presented to the Appellate Court,
and is not final and conclusive upon the
party applying for the writ, as he may prefer
n similar application to any other judge or
court of this State. This case has been re-
ferred and recognized in the case of Mace as.
the State of Maryland, upon an identical
point. 1t must be considered ms decisive OF
the question of the right of appeal in cases
Of haJeaS corpus issued by courts or judges
having jurisdiction and legal authority to
| issue the same. ....- -.
In such cases we hold where there has been
no assumption of authority, no right Of ap-
peal has been given by tho statute or Code
| to this court, and none exists. The petition
| must therefore be dismissed.

All the talk about Sonora GwIS and his
dukeship has ended in nothing. GwN is
thus officially squelched in motto in the
DiariO the organ of MAMMALIAN:
"We, the Imperial Government, n,te-, at
any time, have entered into negotiations with
Dr. Gwin, So we never contemplated max
ing him Duke Gwin. So We never contem-
plated making him Duke nor Governor Of
Sonora, nor Viceroy of any other province.
We never knew that his services were
worth sixty thousand dollars year. More.
over, the very person Of DIR. Gwin is not
known by any Of the Ministers, and we did
not hear of any having the desire to get ac'
quainted with him
All the kilograms We have been printing
from Mexico, it is further said, were written
by GwIN himself They began with "persons
in the confidence of DR., GwIN" say so and
so, and then came long sketch of the rising
importance and power Of ''Dr. GwIN." We
will hear no more of that, hereafter.

The Richmond Ttmes (rebe) and ore or
two of it's co-laborers this side of the Poo
mac, are deriving comfort from the fact thai
Gov. Sharkey, Of Mississippi, and the other
provisional Governors recently appointed,
we're allowed to quality under n less stringent
oath than that prescribed by Congress in the
act of July, 1862. They renaon, therefore,
that rebels elected to Congress from the rebel
States will be permitted to qualify in like
manner, and thus they will be enabled to fll
up the vacant seats with the old stock oi
congehial pro-slavery rebel spirits. They
delude themselves, however, reasoning thus.
Congress is the exclusive judge of the quail
ifcations of its own members. 1t is q very
violent presumption to suppose'for moment
that that body will remit the oath requiring
members elect to purge themselves of NIL
completely with the rebellion, until they
have shown that they are in deed and truth
purged of al taint by fruits meet for repent
ance. The next Congress is overwhelmingly
and intensely anti-rebel. Any member elect
from the rebel States will have to filter
through a sieve that won't leave much doubt
as to his sta us on the public mind. By the
time Congress meets in December next, the
ruling animus of those lately in rebellion will
be pretty thoroughly manifested. ~ w
"A change OF heart has got to succeed the
present symptoms in the South before TIE
blood stained hands of traitors can be h (
up to qualify in Congress. If those recent J
in arms, and especially their newspapers
l rely on outwitting the loyalty Of the country
and thus securing by politics what they coult
not secure by war, they have reckoned with
out their hosts. They have to meet theil
hosts face to face and "score the reckoning
