"A Western exchange says tha
"almost the entire rebel army was
made up Of Democrats. That
statement is true. If there were
any exceptions, they were men who
were forced into the rebel army by
the leaders Of the old Democratic
party. The same paper states an
other fact, and that is that "all the
loyalty found in the South was
among the opponents Of the Dem
ocratic party To this there may
hyc been n precious few eXcep.
tons, such as Horace Maynard and
Andy Johnson, Of Tennessee. The
latter, however, has 0postNtized.--
The editor further and truthfully
remarks: east Tennessee was
controlled by the Wings, and her.
volunteers generally went into the
Union army. In Kentucky and
Maryland, as well as North Alaba-
ma, the only loyal men to he found
were those whose minds had not,
been poisoned by the obominable'
hcresies Of the Democratic party
Loyalty to the old flag was in all
cases just in inverse proportion to
the strength and influence Of Dem
0erncy, so-c0lIed.'

MEETING OF THE SCHooL BoARD.-A spe-
cial meeting Of the Board Of School Trustees was
held Tuesday evening for the purpose Of heating
the report OF the Committee on Vocal Music, 10
whom was referred tho resolution Of Mr.. Clarke
which 10 as follows:
Whereas Il is believed that the practices Of pre-.
pairing for aud giving public concerts by the pub.
lie schools s detrimental to the best interests and
does not assist promote the general object Of no.
quirng knowledge Of the science Of music; There.
fore,
"Resoived That tho teacher Of music is hereby
directed to discontinue them until further notice
Mr.. Brown read the report Of the majority Of the
committee, fayoring the present system with modi.
dcations as to the manner Of giving public concerts
Mr.. Clarke was opposed TO giving public con.
oert because II deprived the children Of instruc.
tion while the music teachers time was occupied
In preparing for these public exhibitions. Another
reason for obecting was that II diverted the minds
Of the children from their studies and seriously In.
erfered with their progress In tho regular and more
important branches,
Mr.. johnson concuned in the opinions Of Mr..
Clarke.
Mr. Woodward thought that II tho children
learned the elements Of music sufficiently we'll TO
enable them TO show this proficiency In public they
should bo encouraged In II. II was an incentive
and made tho study Of music agreeable to the
children.
Mr.. Rhess was in favor Of dispensing with con.
corts at least this year.
Mr.. Murtagh agreed with Mr.. Rhees, and In his
experience rs n member Of the Board he had always
noticed that these concerts excited Jealousy, and
caused dissatisfaction among the parents Of the
children.
Mr.. Wilson sail II the resolution Of Mr. Clarke
was adopted Il would have q tendency TO paralyEe
the ambition which such concerts created In the
study Of music. lie had never heard complaints
from parents that any child had been put forward
to the prejudice Of another.
Mr.. Fox rose TO n question OF privilege. There
was no question before tho Board, and he moved
that tho report Of the committee be accepted.
The yeas and nays being called for, Messrs Will
son, Brown, Woodward, Cassell and Tustin voted
In the Affirmative, and Messrs. Rhees, walsh,
Clarke, johnson and Murtagh In the negative
Mr.. Fox was excused from voting. There being
tie vote the chair voted in the negative, and the
report was rejected
The resolution Of Mr.. Clarke was then adopted
instructing tho professor Of music to connne him
self to the teaching Of the science and practice Of
music.
Mr.. Tustin offered the following resolution;
which was adopted:
ReSoired, That the committee Of the City Ccun.
ellis be instructed to ask the City Councils TO con-
slider the expedoncy Of purchasing. for the use Of
the public schools In the First district tho build.
ing situated on Nineteenth street, between @ and
