THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

The children of the city should bear in
mind that the Public Schools will open on the
18th instant They must be getting their
books together, have their hair cut, and rub
up" generally, preparatory to beginning
school on the day appointed.
1t is gratifying fact to find that firm and
invaluable friend of the Public Schools, Thos
G. Tabb, Esq, again elected Superintendent.
He may be said to have been the founder of
the present school system in this city; and it
was due to his diligence, ability, and fostering
care, that our Public Schools, prior to the
war, became models of excellence, and our
citizens could point to them with pride and
satisfaction, and with confidence could entrust
their children to the guidance and instruction
given within their walls As in the past, SO
will they find the future. With the same in
valuable Superintendent, many of the same
teachers that were formerly connected with
the schools, and the new teachers selected
with great care, give guarantees of usefulness
in the future, and must be cheering to the

pay the taxes to keep the schools in active
operation.
Nor are these institutions mere preparatory
schools, in which nothing but the rudiments
of education are to be secured. The names
of NORRIS, Rodman, Sheffield, Broughton
Graves, Dali, Fatherly and Drake, assure
us that here may be found the literary and
scientific attachments, fitted to carry the
scholars forward to that point which will ena-
BILE them to prosecute favorably the "labors of
life, in any department of human effort
which their taste or inclination may select.
The former history of these Schools show
that the moral training of the pupil was
strictly preserved. Cleanliness habits of dill
gence,. tatth, to be adhered to under all cir
cumstances, these were firmly exacted, and
will again be demandedof all pupils who may
enter these institutions. o
The School Commissioners, and the Super
intendent, have fully discharged their labo-
rious duties in the re-establishment of these
Schools; it remains to be seen whether the
people Of this community appreciate and re-
spond to these efforts, designed to benefit them
and their children. s'' ,..... ....s..

a0g- In the Petersburg hader of Saturday
last, we find the following communications
from A, NJ. Kelley, Esq, Withdrawing his
name as candidate in the approaching Con-
gressional election in this district
The tone and temper of Mr.. Keiley's COM

gentleman, patriot, and an unselfsh fellow

COMMUNICATED.
To the Roters Of the Second
al Congressional District Of Virginia :
Feuo,o-citizens-I am no longer candidate
for your suffrages in the approaching Congress
sional election. En-
In thus withdrawing from canvass in
which l enjoyed encouraging prospects of sue
cess, am actuated solely by desire to avoid
even the appearance of being an obstacle in
the way Of the return of peace, and the res
toration of absolute political equality to my
fellow-citizens Many of these, in whose
Judgment have as great confidence as in the
sincerity of their good will to myself, are of
opinion that circumstances Of personal ma
t1lre, with which the voters of the District are
more or less familiar, would operate to raise
peculiar objections 70 my admission to seat
in Congress were ! fortunate enough to secure
the election Though not persuaded as fully
as they are of the force of this objection, am
thoroughly convinced that no man has the
right even to run the risk of retarding the
progress of this State towards full representa-
ton in the next Congress. am equally per-
suaded that no man has the right to force his
friends to choose between personal attachment
and political advantage, and l shou despise
myself if I felt conscious Of disposition, for
the qualification Of any private interest or
ambition, to hazard for an instant, the restora-
ton of the gallant, but unfortunate people of
Virginia. to their full rights as citizens of the
United States In the contemplation of that
great public necessity, all personal aspirations
sink into insgnifcance, and he who would
even argue the question of their relative i'm
portance, is unworthy the confidence of Vir-
ginians, and undeserving their name
In retiring from the canvas, which do at
this early date to allow my friends ample time
for selection, avail myself of the only OPP
portunity shall have, to acknowledge, as 1
do with much gratefulness, the generous sup
port which has been voluntarily offered me
from every quarter of the District. feel
that can prove my appreciation of this kind
ness at the hands of the people among whom
my life has been spent, in no more conducive
manner, than by making, as do, upon the
altar of their interests, cheerful sacrifice of
all ambitions and aspirations of my own
In the path of their rights and their advan-
tage mine shall ever for an instant stand.
Very respectfully,
Your fellow citizen,
