SCHOOL FOR C0LoRED CHILDREN

We notice thet Mrs. johnson, lady
from Kansas City, has commenced school
for the little colored folks, in which she
teaches the "young idea how TO shoot " its
way into the labyrinths and mysteries Of
an elementary education.
AS Mrs. Johnson is dependent on her
own exertions 70 support herself, invalid
husband and child, we hope she may sue
coed in her laudable enterprise to her en-
tire satisfaction.
We trust that the prejudices of all those
who have more "nigger. on-the-brain" than
humanity, will be alloyed, because there
are certainly no class of people, who more
richly deserve the benefits of an education
than the colored people of Missouri, Many
very unjust and cruel remarks have al.
ready been made, in reference to this com
mendable and laudable enterprise. The
school will be protected by the kind wish
es and efforts Of all good and loyal citizens
Instead of throwing obstacles in the way o
such efforts, people should do all they can t.
give them encoui agement. Because chilt
or ON adult has colored skin, that does no
signify that they do not have mind, on,
that that mind should not be cultivated an,
enlightened, as well as if it was in whit
skin. No one denies white person, how
ever little or great the mind may be, III
right to an education, as high as it is pos
sible to acquire; why then, should the sam
be denied the colored person. G.

THE PAYMENT OF THE ENROLLED Mrs.

tia, as we are informed by gentleman just
from Jefferson City, will commence on or
about the 10Th inst. Col. Dougherty, the
present efficient Paymaster General Of the
State, has had corps of clerks employed
for the past month, making out the neoes-
sary papers, and about the 18th inst, the
ub.Paymasters will be called in from the
field, and as soon after as possible, the
funds will be handed over to them for the
paying off of the several claims now on
file at headquarters at Jefferson City. Col.
Dougherty has done all in his power to have
these men paid off quickly as possible
but the necessary delays, first of all in pro-
curing funds, and then placing every thing
ship.shape for the occasion, takes up con.
siderable time. When all the ciroumstan-

RECONSTRUCTION.

Slowly but surely the work Of recon-
structon is going on, Fighting Is at an end,
and people are turning their thoughts to
peaceful pursuits, returning to their homes,
cultlvating their crops, rebuilding their
fences, and seeing about earning subsis-
tence for their families. The soldiers are
fast finding their way back to homes long
deserted. A correspondent of the New
York Tribune mentions seeing Captain in
Lees late army at his home pluwing up a
small garden lot with his war horse. He
had lost all his slaves and most of his Fer
sonal property. But he had wife and
children whom he was bound to support,
and had gone to work like a man. % ..
There is no craftsmanship like that
shaped by necessity and common sense
Labor is the true way to restore the south.
Every southern man in the southern States
should follow the example of this Captain.
Out Of the soil with industry applied 10 it
comes the wealth that is to restore the
South to order and prosperity. It may &c
hard at first to those unused to labor to at.
tempt TO earn their own living, but SO soon
as they show disposition TO help them.
selves, they will find others ready to assist
them. Let the people ihems alvas- with ar
elasticity Of spirit recover from their de.
preston of spirit, and be hopeful Of better
times, which are sure to result from the
restoration of peace, the reopening of trade
and the return of the people to the indus.

THE HOWARD UNION"

With this issue begin the regular pub
location Of weekly paper in Glasgow, en-
titled THE HowARD UNION. AS its name
indicates, it will be zealously devoted to
the cause Of the Union, believing that the
people never committed graver political
sin than when they allied themselves with
Treason and Rebellion. But q brighter
day is dawning. The success Of the Fede.
raj arms, and the return Of reason and re-
Election to an intelligent people, will soon
work out their natural and benefcent re-
suits. AS a consequence, speedy return
TO the peaceful and industrial pursuits of
life may at once be expected and in lieu
of the destructive implements Of war will
be substituted those of the husbandman, the
mechanic, and the business man. With
this great end accomplished, the permanent
prosperity and peace Of our people will be
seaured, and they will then fully realize
that their best and truest interests are in
tertwined with loyalty and devotion to their
Government. The welfare of our people
now rests in their own hands. Will they
not improve it as becomes a Christianizad,
enlightened and patriotic people ?
In the conduct of the Union shall en-.
dcavor, to the best of my ability, to advance
the interests Of the people among whom il
circulates. In on intelligent and wealthy
community like this, the success of well.
conducted paper should not be matter oil
doubt. 1t will be source of usefulness
and convenience TO them. With their p.os.
perity and growth it will be intimately iden.
tilted. shall endeavor to fill it with such
matter as will be Of interest and profit tt
them, and to make it an aid to cement
rather than rupture asunder, the soca
band, SO badly shattered by the unfortunate
events Of the past few years.
The subscription price to the paper will
be Two Dollars per year, or One Dollar
for six months, invariably in advance.
With this short Introductory, which
deem sufficient, l enter upon my labor
with energy and confidence, respectrull.
soliciting from the people that support al
enterprise of this character deserves.

COST OF WAR.

Official returns in the War Office show
that the deaths in the army since the war
broke out, SO far as heard from, with the
estimates made from those returns not yet
handed in, including the starved prisoners,
&c., will aggregate about three hundred and
t,centy fve thousand. These are the deaths
alone. From this number we may deduct
some forty thousand on account of ordinary
mortality had war not existed, and then
have left 295:0O0 dead. These are the
dead only on one side. II we suppose q
mortality of $4,000 on the rebel side. we
have total of 100000 who have persisted
in the war. Surprising among the wounded
and diseased Of the survivors that one hall
are permanently disabled, we must add at
least 100000 more to the number of vic,
tins, making total Of over one million Of
human beings whose death. or uselessness
while living may be ascribed to this war.

The Chattanooga Gazette says from every
direction in Georgia accounts reach it Of

son has ordered that all the produce gath
cred for the rebel Government, in the
shape of taxes or tithes, should be distribu-
fed to the people, and that all the extra ami
mails and wagons should be loaned out to
them, his Quartermasters taking receipts
for them.

with forever activity. The shelves of our
merchants are all occupied with merchan-

Our business houses are now filled, and
there is pressing demand tor more. Sew
eral of the best business houses in town
having been DESTROYED by fire, we learn
that steps are being taken to rebuild them.
Our mechanics are busily plying their avo-
cations, while our farmers are tillipg their
soil with feeling Of safety and assurance
that they will not be despoiled Of the fruits
Of their labor. Numbers Of steamers daily
pass up and down the river, distributing
their rich cargoes throughout the country.
A general feeling Of confidence and buoy
ancy exists, not heretofore felt during the
rebellion.
We have rich country unsurpassed in
soil, on both sides Of the river, possess

progress. The richness of the soil long
since secured an industrious farming popu
laton, who have received liberal returns
for their labor Numbers of our oitizen
who had left are returning, and we hop'
soon TO have reunited society. We may
then safely anticipate career of prosperity
