The Posts Washington special says,
Richmond papers Of Saturday admit that
it is probable the rebels are evacuating
Charleston.
The Times Washington special says,
Richmond papers received here show that
on Friday last General Sherman encon-
passed Brauchville within four miles Of
that place. II is understood that papers
Of Saturday made the definite announce
ment of its capture, and General Grant
stated il as positive fact. They also
confirm the statement Of the evacuation
of Charleston as military necessity.
The Richmond Dispatch Of the 10th
saws the railroad connection with Angus
In is severed. II is an error, however, to
suppose thai because any point on the
South Carolina Railroad is in the hands
of the enemy, we can no longer draw sup
plies from Georgia. 1t would be useless
TO explain matters at this time.
The Times Washington special says,
it is generally understood that the coun-
try is indebted to Horace Greely for the
recent peace demonstrations. IL was at
his instance and solicitations that MIR.
Blair went TO Richmond and set the ma
chinery in motion which made the confer
ence necessary.
Gen. Grant told member Of Congress
recently that if the country would give
him 100000 fresh men he could close the
war in three months.
1t is surmised the draft will net the
government 100000 men.

A very pleasant festival took place, at
Lamont, on Wednesday evening last, un-
der the auspices Of the Congregational
Church and Society Of that place. The
ladies provided suEptuous repast for
their guests, 10 number not few. A
glee club, from Grand Rapids, contributed
greatly to the interest Of the occasion by
discoursiug soul-enliveniug music. The
net proceeds amounted to much more
than was anticipated, and are TO be de-
voted for tho completion Of the church
building, SO Ear as necessary, and the bal
ance to be applied to the purchase Of q
cabinet organ for use in church.

We arc gratified at the probable enact
ment ofa law by our Legislature creating
the Office Of County Supcrintcndents Of
Schools. We have no doubt from tho
practical working Of the system in other
States, that the result 70 schools Of Mich
igan will be Of tho most happy character.
1t is well known fact that the School
Inspectors Of many Of our more newly or
ganized townships are very lily qualified
for the position, and poor teachers and ve-
ry Indifferent schools arc the results, and
in older township even, no little apathy
relative to educational matters prevails.
With well qualified County Supcrin-
tendent at the head OF our schools, 10
examine teachers and see that none but
those qualified are licensed to teach, then
afford the worthy, liberal counsels as TO
methods Of teaching, government, DC,
laboring to introduce uniformity Of text
books and those most approved, hold
Teachers Institutes, &C., &c., our prima-
ry schools must be greatly beneftted.-
In filling the position Of County Superin-
tendent, we trust the citizens of our coun-
ty will seek out the best man, irrespect-
ive Of party preference.
We have one in view, we'll known to
the citizens Of Ottawa county generally,
WHO is just the man and remarkably well
adapted TO the position--one who has
emincntly distinguished himself as an
accomplished teacher and as an efficient,
competent public officer. We mean,
Hon. A. W. Taylor, Of Crockery. He
was educated at Williams College, Mass,
and has had long experience of teach
ing-twenty-fivo years. He is also IA
mailiar with the operations and manage
ment Of Teachers Institutes, and familiar
with tho details, wants and necessities Of
our primary schools. We know of no
one within tho range Of our acquaintance,
residing in the county, whom we deem
SO well qualified and fitted for the Office
of County Superintendent OF Schools as
Judge Taylor--political preferences out of
sight, Of course. Therefore we earnestly
hope lie will consent to become candi-
date for the position. We know he is
the right man for the place, and for
that reason he is the man Of our choice.
