COMMUNICATIONS.

The small number Of Firemen left
in this City / persume regret very
much that the Enterprise man cannot
be pleased by saying a good word for
the Fire Department / am not aware
that thoy ever asked him to say good
or bad word for them without Offering
to pay for the same. And l believe
the members Of tho Department will
bear me out in the assertion that he
is better judge of printing presses
and their capacity than he is of Fire
Engines and can tell quicker whom
his form" is knocked into pi" than
whom and how length Of hose was
frozen up. L think he would have
shown better sense had he lent a help
i,ur-rir njr tno reorganization Of tho
Fire Department, than he does in
casting reflections upon their efficiency.
| should like to ask the Enterprise man
whether or not he would like to help
remedy some of the evils existing in
the Department he so strongly hints
at? And / will furthermore say, that
l for one, prefer strong censuro in
specified terms, to sorrowful regrets
expressed as in the columns Of last
weeks Enterprise.

AS the military force here is small
in comparison with the amount of
work to be done, two Northern citizens
interested in universal education, who
are hero on q visit-James Redpath,
of Boston, and Kane O'Donnell, of
Philadelphia-were invited to reopen
the public schools and roorganize the
system of education on tho most lib
eral basis. The school building were

Tuesday and Wednesday were named
as the times when applications for the
privilege of teaching either ut public
or private schools would he considered.
Certain of the old teachers applied to
be reinstated in their former positions.
There were some interesting scenes at
these interviews.
They were asked:
Arc you aware, ladies, that there
is no distinction TO be made hereafter
in tho public schools, between any
class of children if white child
rem apply, they shall be admitted, and
if colored children apply, they shall
be admitted ~

One Of those ladies, not figuratively,
but literally aud vigorously, turned up
her nose, and tho other made extraor-
binary contortions with her mouth.
After q sufficient time had been
givon 10 the two ladies TO restore nose
and mouth TO the pristine condition,
thoy were couriaously informed that
new order of things had come that
the old South, with all its prejudices
and aristocracios, was done away with
forever that q large majority of tho

made free at the As'or House table, and often
times this erratic man of genius could be
seen accepting its hospitalities when other

Every one knew Clarke by sight and one

Southerners, seating themselves opposite.

The South arner started in mock surprise,

words:
