Schools in Charleston, s. O.

It is remarkable fact that as our army pro-
crosses over the benighted regions Of rebel
dom, free schools spring up and the degraded
andaiowa trodden have abundant opportuni-
ties for mental culture and moral improve
ment The free schools of Charleston are
now in fair operation, and more than one
thousand pupils are in attendance. Some
thirty teachers have been Professionally ap-
pointed, and of these one half are white ladies
of Charleston. Among the pupils who are
thus instructed are three hundred whites.
Out of eighteen white teachers chosen, twelve
we're in favor of teaching either white or
black children. This is decided progress up
on the old sentiment this too, in the once
proud and sristocratic city of Charleston -
What glorious country the Sonth is destined
to be! But she had to wade through seas Of
blood 10 reach the path that leads to freedom
and glory.

RIt is stated that Capt. John H. Bell Of Bal
timore, a Presbyterian, has been promoted by
the Sultan to the distinguished Office of Lord
Admiral-in-Chief of the Turkish Navy, without
sacrificing his religious principles.
q 1t is becoming fashionable again for
young ladies to harness themselves to sled
and haul barrels of -four to country clergy
mems houses. 1t is a custom mere honered in
the breach than in the observance. There is no
necessity for ladies thus to make donkeys of
themselves.
% The Journal says that 50 years ago last
summer, Mr.. VIM. Brooks of Lewiston, now in
his s9th year, walked from that city to Chilli
cothe, Ohio, a distance of one thousand miles
or more, and back all the way, except 10 miles
by stage ON his homewarl trip. He was gone
three months He averaged thirty three miles
per day..
R The ball fashions for ladies in Paris are

Petroleum. oautiou!!

- 1t seems as If the American people loved to
be "gulled" and that any man who would
prove that certain speculations, which promise
large returns from small investments, are ur-
worthy of attention, would not be thanked for
his pains. But thanks or no thanks, I will give
a few facts concerning the Petroleum oil COM
panies which ought to induce those that are
oil struck to think twice before putting their
money into such wild schemes. And first let
me state how an oil company is got up. A
goes or sends to Pennsylvania, e..A ,s.ess a
lot of land for term of years, paying gener-
ally percentage Of oil, which may be found
by sinking wells or he may buy a few acres in
fee simple, paying from ten to fifty Thousand
dollars tor it. He then goes to New York,
Boston or some other city, and forms a COM
pany with a capital of 100000, 100000 or
100000, dollars Represented by one, two or
three hundred thousand shares, at two 10
ten dollars per share, which shares he offers
Tor sale at reduced prices to the public, and the
Public are only too eager to buy. But what
are you getting for your money, Messrs. Pub
lie? You are getting for two or five dollars,
whichever you pay, what cost but ten, twenty,
or fifty cents per share. But these companies
expect" to sink wells and pay large divi-
dends-that's SO; and some will sink wells /;
a few VIII pay a dividend or two, bat you,
my dear Public, will surely sink your money.
Not one man in hundred of those who buy
these stocks will ever see one cent Of his mon
ey again; not one in thousand will ever re-
ceiEe back the whole. ~
"lSut people have made money in oil wells"
Yes, but they are the AS who buy at 25cts
a foot, not those who pay two to Ave dollars a
foot.
e. But, again, athe best men in the country
lend their names as directors of these compa-
MES" So they do--for a consideration.
swell, we know a man who made foitune in
oil" So do /, and saw white mouse once.
But am getting tireI, and will close with
one or two brief applications.
l.-'Look before you leap"
2.-"Don't spend your money for that
which profteth nothing"
3.-Put your money into u s. 7-3o Bonds
and you shall find it with accumulated inter-

srArrMENr OF A REruRNED Passover.

STATEMENT OF A RETURNED PRIsoNER.-
Frank M. Smith Of this city, formerly of Co. G,
9th Maine, returned home last Saturday from
the rebel prison in Salisbury, N. c. He states
that he was captured by Mosby himself last
fall, who Let his men rob him of everything;
but on learning that his prisoner was a Mason,
ordered an immediate return of his private
property, and treated him with marked kind
ness, while in his hands. He was confined in
Salisbury Prison, N. c., where, out of 5000
prisoners, over 5000 died while he was there
The guard at that place consisted of the 6S;h
N. c., made up wholly of boys, and they seem
ed to take delight in shooting our men. II
the least irregularity was seen, it was punisha-
BILE by death; and the first intirnation had,
was the salasation "Look out there. Yank.
Pm g'wine to fire" when they would fire at
their victim; and if, perchance, they missed
him, the bullet seldom missed of manning or
killing some one in the crowded enclosure. At
the TINA of Grants advance or Hatcher's
Run, this regiment was ordered to the front,
and was nearly annihilated in an encounter
with Hancock's old veterans of the End Corps.
Ia just punishment for their barbarity to our
defenceless prisoners. A regiment of old men
took the place of these youngsters, as prison
guard, and they allowed our prisoners every
freedom and indulgence which was consist
ent. s m
On the 22i of February, the military au-
thorities became SO alarmed at the triumphant
progress of Sherman, that they drew up
hasty parole, and ordered all who were able to
walk to "fall in,'' and sign the papers: and
told them to 60 to Goldsboro', N. c., liom
which place they would be immediately for
warded to our lines; and SO frightened were
The rebels that they allowed the whole squad
$4,000 to 60 as they pleased, without ann
guard avhateuer. Our men scattered. and
lived on the country, as they travelled. the
people treating them very kindly, and refusing
all remuneration. On reaching Goldsboro'.
they were furnished with an abundance Of
rations, and sent to Wilmington. The camp
at Salisbury was divided into divisions of 900
men each, with Sergeant Major to make out
reports for rations; and many of our men OBJ
tanned an abundance of rations by stratagem,
without which they must have suffered.
The process was called thanking and con-
sisted in soldiers having their names borne on
the rolls Of two or three divisions, which |
would bring them triplicate rations. In this
way rations were drawn for nearly 500 men
more than what were actually there. The
rebels tried several times to find out the exact
number Of men in SER hands, but could not,
as the men would manage to be counted two
or three times. At last the rebel Quarter
master gave it up.
