ELkToN CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL,

ELKToN CENTRAL HIGH School,
place. on Monday last, at the Elkton Cen
trail High School, was very well conducted
The pupils were very closely chatechised on
some branches; but answered the questions
propoundcd quite promptly. Frederick
Stump, Esq, u gentleman of eminent quail
iications, exercised the Latin class in the
declcntions, conjugations. sentences, &C.,
observing but one or two triAlng errors. or,
as he termed them, hps"s pennr, during
the whole exercise. +. A. Ellis, Esq, Pres
ident of the Board of Public Schools of this
county, took up Geography and History,
which seemed to be his forte. IN these he
was very searching in his questions, rc,uir.
ing cause and effect for everything. The
answers were, however, prompt and ''to the
point"
The pupils did very well indeed Their
advancement in the various departments is
quite creditable, answering questions and
| solving problems, as they do. that require
thought and application. Their taste for
drawing is universal and the proficiency
which they have made since their first effort,
a month or so ago, is really commendable.
We saw copies so nearly like the originals
that, placed at little distance, to avoid the
discovery of the pencil, we would exercise
considerable doubt as to which was which.
At the happy suggestion of Mr.. Stump,
given in consideration Of the labors of the
day and the promptness and correctness of
the work, Mr.. Ellis gave the following day
holiday, on condition Cat the request of Mr..
Zimmerman, the Principal,) they would re-
turn at o clock next morning, arrange their

But two patrons were present. There was

Congressional.

WASHINGTON, March l9.-SENATE-
Mr. Fessenden rose to a personal expla-
nation; he found in the National In
telhgencer, of the 18th inst, a letter
from VIM. L. Graham, claimant for a
seat in the Senate from North Carolina,
in reply to his (Fessenden 81 remarks of
the 18th inst. This letter of Mr.. Ora
hams was intended to convey the I'M
preston that the investigations were not
impartial.
Mr. Graham had written to him (Fes-
senden) making two requests One that
witnesses suggested by him Graham
should be examined by the Senators and
Representatives from the Southern States
should be present to cross examine the
witnesses.
The last request was not complied with,
because it was not customary in cases OF
investigation by commissions, and be-
cause the proceedings of the court we're
not in the nature of criminal examina-
ton where cross-examinations were ne
cessary. He (Fessenden) did not regard
the representatives of the lately rebel
lious States in the light of criminals on
trial. nor was he acting in the capacity
Of prosecutor regarding the error OF
Mr.. Graham. 1t was his belief that the
testimony had closed; because it had
been ordered to be printed it had moi
closed, except in the case of Tennessee.
In the case of North Carolina no testi
mony had yet been printed, it all being
in the hands of Mr. Howard, of Mchi
gan, now absent on account of domestic
affection.
Mr. Davis in reply to Mr. Fessender
advocated the right of the claimants foi
seats as Southern Senators and Repre-
sentatiyes to be present and examine
witnesses. Mr.. Davis proposed TO reaC
Mr.. Graham's statement in the Intelli
gencer. Having read for an hour he wai
called to order by Mr. Chandler, who in
sisted that there was no question befor,

Mr. Fessenden said we had yielded t
Mr. Davis for him to read Mr. Graham
letter, but it was evident now that he wa
reading the editorial and news columns
Of the newspaper.
Mr. Davis said that he was reading al
explanation of the case by Major Law
renee.
At the conclusion, Mr. Fessenden ros
to say that if Mr.. Graham desired to in
troduce further testimony in the case o
North Carolina, he could do So

BURIAL OF A SLAVE.

While in Virginia, says the Augusta
Transcript, Major CRUNP had dislnterred
the body of DANIEL his faithful servant
who followed him through thick and thin
during the war, until he was killed on
the 25th of March, last year, near Peters
burg. On that day it was enormously
reported that his master had been killed
on the field. and it was while seeking
his body that DANIEL was killed Having
an affection for his servant, easily appre-
ciated by all Southern gentlemen, the
Major sought and obtained the body
under a flag of truce, had it buried, and
has now brought it home to rest amid the
graves Of his kindred

WAsHINGToN, March l6.--The follow

read by Hon. William D. Kelly, during
his recent lecture in Philadelphia:
NASHVILLE, March 6.
Hon. VIM D. Kelly. House Of Representatives:
DEAR SIR: Enclosed send you copy
of nv PROCLAMATION, from which yon will
learn that faction Of twenty-one disor-
ganizers here. in the true spirit Of the
late iniauitous rebellion, have withdrawn
and reduced our House Of Representa-
-tiyes below a quorum. ! need not add
further remarks, as the proclamation
fully discusses the points at issue.
On Friday last the election OF county
officers took place throughout the State,
such as Clerks, Sherifs, Justices, Trns-
tees. and Tax Collectors and in Middle
and West Tennessee the rebels have
made a clean sweep, turning the Union
men out and electing their own candi-

ground that they we're rebels, and had
either served in the rebel army, or in

thized with them, were very respectful

culprits they evidently feared arrest
and punishment, and felt that 70 be let

There is twice the amount of bitterness

Abuse OF Union men, OF the radical ma
iority in Congress, and seli-assumes
superiority on the part OF Southerr
chivalry, have arisen to such heigh
that loyal men cannot travel on steam
boat or in a railroad car, without being
insulted. As it was during the war, so il
is now--all concessions from the North,
or from the majority in Congress, are
regarded as evidences of fear. All the
old rebel papers of 1861, and many new
ones are in full blast, threatening Con-
cress and the North with ultimate ven
geance. and boasting ofSouthern prowess.
| The most popular men in the
largest portion of Tennessee to-day
are the men most distinguished
for the hostility to the North, and what
they are pleased to call the Radical
Congress, and they are the class of men
selected to fill offices, as the late county
elections show The same is true of the
entire South, only to a greater extent
In word, they are resolved on breaking
up the Government, and they expect to
carry out their schemes through the bal
lot-box. And how men of candor and
intelligence can represent them as loyal
and kindly disposed is mystery to me,
even in this age of rebellion and treach-
cry. / do not understand them, and my
opportunities for learning their temper
and ultimate purposes are as good as
those OF most men.
Why, sir, many of them are expecting
the President to dispense Congress with
the bayonet, as Cromwell dispersed the
long Parliament The Southern heart is
rapidly being fred to deeds of war, and
ali this, and more, as believe, has been
caused by the mistakes of the President.
His plan for trusting rebels with their
State Governments has had an effect ex-
actly the opposite of what he intended.
1t has ruined the prospects of the Union
men, and they feel that there is no safety
for them, unless Congress shall choose
to protect them. Even three days ago
Gen. Thomas had to send troops into
Marshall county, some sixty miles dis
tant, to protect loyal men and freedmen,
who were fleeing for safety, and coming
to this city.
So far as | am Individually concerned,
the incorporate abuse of rebels, TIE
denunciation and blackguardism of their
reconstructed journals, the threats of
personal violence from the amnestied
patriots, and the anonymous letters of
towards threatening my assassination,
all fall harmless at my feet. No earthly
power can drive me from the support of
the men and party who fought the bat
ties of the late war, and put down the
rebellion.
