THE SCHOOL MARMs AGAIN.

teacher question, gives the highest salts
faction to that class of citizens whose ap-
probation we seek to deserve, and excites
the fercest wrath of those whose political
sentiments we loathe, and whose personal
friendship is, to us, a matter of absolute
indifference. We have been approached
by both classes and the expressions of both
suited US to q nicely, and determined US
to proceed with the work that we have
taken in hand. Passing by, for the nonce,
matters, rumors and subjects of minor i'm
portance, we viii first call attention to the
published Monthly Report of the County
Superintendent of Common Schools,
which appears in this mornings Union,
and from which We make the following
extract: BIS .... .-
The charge which has been so industriously
circulated through this community, that Sc
cession or disloyal sentiments have been in
stilled into the minds of the pupils in our
schools, is utterly false, and without the pre-
tense Of foundation. With the political
opinions Of the teachers, this Board can have
no concern. We deal with their actions
only. The course of our teachers has been
in every respect altogether satisfactory.
The concluding sentence Is good. When
the people recall the speeches of Judge
Tilford, the County Superintendent of
Common Schools, and whose name is
signed as SUCH to the above report; when
they recollect that from every stump in
Storey county he poured forth upon the
hearts of the people the distilled venom of
the treason that burned and ranked in his
own breast and the breasts of his parti-
zans, the value of Judge Tilford's endorse
ment of the loyalty of any man or any
woman, amounts simply to concentrated
damnation. That "the course of our
teachers has been in every respect alto
gether satisfactory" to Judge Tlford,
should be enough to open wide the gates
of Alcatras for the whole gang. So much
for Judge Tilford's official certificate.
We have now another document, re-
ceived this morning, involving the loyalty
Of q certain school-marm, together with
that of others of the same sex, beneath
whose ample crinoline an amount Of con-
traband trade is carried on between Ne
yada and rebeldom, ttat will astonish
some of our confding citizens. Read the
following-and then ponder whether or
not the time for some sort of action is not
near at hand:
VIRGINIA CITY, Feb. l, 1865.
Mr.. LYScH--DBAR SIR: / am pleased to
see you rap the knuckles of the secesh
school marms" Of Virginia. But did you
know that vase OF wax flowers was ratified
off, at the late Orphans Fair, for the benefit
of the rebels in Dixie 1t is fact. Mrs.
Herman supposed was "reb and told
me all about it, and wanted me to take a
chance. gave her to understand that was
on the other side Of the fence. am salts
fed that some Of the $4,000 or $4,000, col
lected at that Fair, will be captured on its
way to Richmond as distinctly understood
Mrs. B, Mrs. Mel, and Mrs. H,
that the money would be sent as soon as the
raffles were over. You can make what use
of this you may see fit; but as l am in a po-
sition where have to deal with persons Of
all political opinions, hope you will use
some discretion in not having my name used,
unless it is absolutely necessary; in which
case, will make n sworn statement TO the
above, and perhaps more Of the same effect.
Yours, truly, -.
For the information of those whom it may
concern, we will state that the author OF
the above communication is q gentleman
occupying position of the first respecta-
biGty and highest responsibility in Vir-
ginia, and there can be no doubt of the
truth of his statement. 1t will also be
noticed that one set of the initials used,
are those of one of the ladies whose " sat
isfactory" conduct is endorsed by Judge
TIford, in this mornings Union. This
will do for one dose, and we will wait a
day to let it operate. ...f.. .
