at 6 O'Clock this [TAursday) evening, for
Milwaukee, where she is to receive her fin

blockade runners that gave our vessels 30
much trouble to catch while running the
blockade during the late war. She reflects
great credit upon her designer and builder,
Mr. GREENLEAF s. RAND, aud the mechan

construction. Her engine is OF

her at great speed. With Capt. ROBERT

johnson Meeting.

PHILADELPHIA, May 49,
The Academy of Music was crowded tonight
to its fullest extent by an enthusiastic audi
ence OF ladies and gentlemen, to listen to
speeches by Senators Cowan and Doolittle in
support of President johnson. Henry Simons
occupied the chair. Senator Doolittle after
treating the subject Of rebellion and the pres
ent issue before the country, declared that the
man who derides the union of the States un-
der the Constitution, is himself disunionist.
He refuted the many calumnies that had been
raised against him and against the personalchar-
acter of the President, and expressed his firm
belief that no man living was more assiduous-
ly and conscientiously engaged in the dis
charge of his duty to his country than Andrew
johnson.
He illustrated the policy of President Lin
coin in the recommendation of Louisiana and
Arkansas to admission into the Union, which
policy had been endorsed at the Baltimore
Convention, and by majority in both houses
OF Congress a year ago, to show that Presi-
dent Johlson's policy was not a new one, but
that it was in obedience to the wishes of the
Union party instead of the President, proving
that the men who were now leading the
Union party were preventing its grand objects
and intentions-the restoration of the Union
and enforcement of the laws.
Senator Cowan followed in an argument in
defence of sustaining the law by virtue of the
rebellion which had been crushed.
After speeches by others the meeting adj
jOurned.

CHARLESTON, S. c., May s, 1866.
Dear Mr.. Shaw: I enclose a copy of an Off
cial letter just received from DIR. T. G. Wright,
stating tho circumstances of an assault upon
one of your schools at Lexington Court House,
near Columbia. This letter, l think, ought
to be laid before the public.
You will notice that the assault followed
close upon the removal of the garrison from
that place. The teacher, Mrs. Simmons, is a
Southern lady, widow OF an Episcopal clergy
man, who formerly lived on Johns Island.-
This is the first case of violence toward our
schools that has occurred in this State.
hope it may be the last. Yours truly,
REUBEN ToMLNsoN.

Dear Sir: am informed by letter from Mrs.
j. Ward Simmons, teacher of freedmen's
school at Lexington Court House, S. c., that
ON Friday evening, 20th instant, her school
house was attacked by about thirty white men,
who fred muskets or pistols, threw stones,
and used axes upon the building, breaking the
windows and otherwise injuring the house and
endangering the lives of the teacher
and pupils. On leaving the room, accom-
panied by her son, Mrs. Simmons was follow
ed by the mob, who cursed and threatened her
until she reached her home. The colored
men attending the school escorted the teacher
to her home, and afforded her protection.
The school has been in operation since jan
uary 1st, and has had the protection of sol
diers stationed there, but the garrison has just
been removed, and the citizens are beginning
to show their disposition toward the freedmen,
and what they viii do when unrestrained by
fear of the military. Mrs. Simmons says
"You will have to send protection to these peo-
pie. The citizens are determined they shall
not be taught. l will send you the names OF
three of the leaders, and hope they will be
made an example"
The case was reported to the Acting As
sistant Commissioner Of this District, and the
facts have been forwarded TO Gen. Scott
The school is closed until suitable protec-
ton is afforded.
Very respectfully, your obetlient servant,

The Cotton CrOp. .

AUGUSTA, Ga, May 90
Newspaper accounts from Texas, Louisiana,
Mississippi, Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia,
Florida, North and South Carolina represent
the growing crops OF cotton as seriously i'm
paired by cold weather, heavy rains and over
flown cotton lands and stands bad. Defective
seed in great measure is the cause of the
failure. The growing cotton looks yellow and
sick, and planters in consequence feel despon-
dent. Not more than a third of a crop will
be realized, as the planters throughout the
country are pioughing up the bad stands and
planting corn. 1t is estimated the crop can-
not exceed 100000 bales.
