sLetter from Grand Ronde Valley.

Day CREEK RANCH, March 81, 1856.
EDIToR STATESMAN As you have previously
manifested desire to be placed in possession
of the general business transactions, propose
to give you few lines in reference to the pres
cnt prospects Of the coming crop of this Valley
The dreary winter has passed away, and smiling
spring has ushered ia With all its lovely charms
The farmers generally are putting forth every
energy to replace their fencing, which the win
ter winds have destroyed, and blowing and SOW
ing at rapid rate. l think there will be
a mach larger crop produced here than has
been in any previous season. Winter broke up
at least six weeks earlier than usual, though the
snow has not entirely disappeared yet in the
umber around the edge of the Valley. In the
open prairie the ground is warm and vegetation
growing rapidly. Many gardens are being
made.
The Blackfoot fever is raging to some extent,
though there Will be labOrers enough remain to
do the requisite work for plentiful crop.
The Improvements in the northern portion
of the Valley appear to be progressing more
rapidly than formerly good grist mill is
being erectedsby Messrs. Hannah and Rich, one
and half miles north Of Summerville which
will be a material rbeneit to the grain-growers
in the vicinity. The above firm expect to make
-four in n short time.
The weather for the past ten days has been
very changeable, from rain to sunshine, and
tttt VPSo, out pIeasantly warm. AT present the
prospects are good for some nice clear weather.
Perhaps some of your readers may be desirous
of knowing something in regard to the locality
and magnitude of SummerYille, as it is city
OF very recent structure. 1t is about twenty
six miles very nearly north Of Uniontown, on
Thomas and Ruckle's wagon road, about sixty
five miles south of Walla Walla, and surrounded
by as good, if not the best, farming land in the
Valley. The town consists Of blacksmith
q k,to ~
stable, feed stable two stores, and three families.
There is a rumor Current-and | fear correct

Between 10 and II O'Clock officer Gaffney saw
negro running at the corner of Julia and Derbigny
streets. The officer supposing the fellow might
have done some wrong ordered him to stop, but
instead'of doing so he fastened his pace, when
Mr.. Gaffaey fired a shot, which missed, and he
started in pursuit fhenegro approaching a large
vacant property threw off his coat jumped fence
and escaped Mr.. Gatfney would have continued
firing at HIM, but was fearful he might hurt some
women and children who were on the sidewalk.
The coat was brought to the stati@a and contained
three dollars and forty cents.

New Orleans daily crescent., 1866-10-03

The whole number of pupils admitted to the
schools during the year was Boys, 1924; girls,
1887, or l542l pupils.
During the last session the average number of
pupils to each teacher employed was, for the
High Schools twenty.one in the other schools of
the First District, tfty-six in the Second District
forty in the Third District fJy-three and in the
Fourth District fifty.
The average of pupils to each teacher in all the
public schools of the city is forty eight.
The average embraces the pupils in the higher
departments, where the classes are smaller and
few in number. In most of the schools the mum
ber OF pupils under charge of each teacher is
greater than is consistent with proper regard
for the physical health and mental progress of
the pupils
For seven years past no new school houses
have been built, although there has been steady
increase in the number of educable children.
The superintendent informs me that in some
departments over hundred children have been
crowded for months in rooms adapted to the in
structi0n Of less than half their number.
Since the beginning of the present session,
commencing September II, the increase OF pupils
has been beyond all precedent.
The necessity Of erecting new school houses in
all the districts Of the city, for the accemmoda-
ton OF pupils, Is, therefore, at once apparent
The cost of education, per pupil before the
war, was determined to be about twenty dollars,
irrespective OF school house repairs. aud five per
centum was allowed for probable INCREASE.
The appropriation for the support of school
durog the past session was $240000
Inc common cOuncu has continued for the re-
nainder Of the present fiscal year the same appr0-
priation of $4,000 per month.
This appropriation has, perhaps, been made
without studied reference to the number of chill
dren taught i'll the schools, and the condition of
the schoo houses, many of which are in bad order
and require extensive repairs.
The future welfare, influence and prosperity of
New Orleans depend, in great measure upon the
mental and moral training Of the children in our
midst.
our system of education should be established
upon such broad and liberal basis as TO secure
the respect and admiration of the learned at home
and abroad This great city has glorious future
if the thinkers and workers of our generation do
their duty. Metropolitan is commerce, it should
be metropolitan n in education, boastipg alike Of
the enchantment of art and the power Of science.

again expressing my wish to cooperate with you,
