Until within the last two months
$50 per month have been received
from the American Missionary Asso-

ses of the school, the balance being

for remuneration. The number OF

We think rather too much expense
and trouble had been expended in
dressing up the children for the occa-
sion. as neat plain clothing, we think
always looks best in school room.
The recitations were all highly cred
liable, and considering all the circum-
stances, some classes exhibited extra
ordinary progress. One lad was point
ed out to us who learned his letters
six months ago, who now reads fluent
ly in the Fourth Reader, did not miss
word in spelling or a question in
primary geography. A young woman,
q or q years of age, learned her al
phabet one year ago, and now reads
quite respectfully, and answered near
ly every question in geography cor
rectly. She goes out to wash among
the families of the city, and onlybOes
to school when she has no work to do,
not averaging more than two days in
week.
The small scholars who have been
attending regularly manifest great
proficiency in their studies, and in
every respect the examination was
highly creditable to pupils and teach
ers. The most perfect discipline is
maintained Those who profess to
doubt the cspacity of negroes to re-
ceive education, should pay a visit to
this school, and they will be con-
WINGED Of their error in spite of their
prejudices. One small boy of twelve,

Rail Road Meetings.
SPEECHES PRO and CON |!
FRIENDS ENTHUSIASTIC!
Vote Taken---All for the RoadI

A large anu enthusiastic crowd
gathered in front of the Bank build
ing on Main street, last night, to hear
the subject of the z. a., & n. Rail-
road discussed. General Shackelford
was salled out and made most con-
vincing speech in favor of the sub
scription of stock, setting forth in
most forcible style, the great advan-
tages of the enterprise to the city,
and exposing the fallacy Of those
who oppose the subscription. He
warned the people of the great dan
ger there was of losing to this
city the trade of that portion
of country through which the road was
proposed to be built, in case of its fail
ing. Henderson could not, and would
not rival this city, but louisville and
Cincinnati were its rivals Merchants
did not now stop at Henderson to pur-
chase goods, neither would they do so
when the road was completed, it was
not to their advantage to do so now
nor would it be then, since so far as
practical purposes were concerned,
Evansville and not Henderson was the
northern terminus of the road He
urged that the completion of that,
could not fail to ensure the completion
of the Straight Line Railroad, and
asserted that he did not believe the
Straight Line road would ever be built,
till the E. HI. & n. road was COM
pleted. A failure to build the road
would result in decrease in the val
ne of property, at least half. He
had opposed the taking stock till it
was shown how it could be built, and
guarantees furnished that it would be
completed. Such guarantees had been
given, that all the road except thirty
odd miles, should be in running or
der before dollar Of the stock was
to be paid. And now that all neces-
sary guarantees had been given, he
could see no tangible reason for any
man to oppose an enterprise by which
so great results were to be obtained,
and so much,of interest TO the city re-
allied. The space allotted to thi. no.
tice will only admit Of brief allusion
to the points argued by him.
1t the conclusion OF his speech,
Mr.. Jno. j. Chandler was called for,
and responded in his usual forcible

Col. George Pendleton, the. Rail

road, and would add great interest to

be induced to address the people on
the subject His name alone is a
tower of strength, and his wonderful
success in railroading would add
weight to his arguments.
