Education of the Freedmen in the South

Education Of the Freedmen in the South.
The report of Rev. j. w. Alvord, Super
intcndent Of Schools under the Frccdmcn's
JIurcau, for the six months ending December
81, 1867, contains much interesting inforna-
tion relative to the education of the freedmen
in tho Southern States. lie says that the
whole number of schools officially reported
during that period was 1,207, with tcachcrs,
l,406, and 1886 pupils, but if the irrcgu-
lar schools within the knowledge of the su.
perintcndent of the industrial schools be ad-
ded the number will be 2,299 schools, l ,634
teachers, S7,071 pupils Sabbath Schools are
reported as largely increased and arc to be ad
ded to the above, there being 7S2, with TO-
61O pupils. Besides this, the study of books
miscollaneously by the freedmen was never so
widespread as at the present time. Adults
have acquired confidence that they also can
learn, aud thousands of children who have
become advanced are teaching parents and
every frecdman's house in the la.d is a school
house, and whole families have become pupils.
TO say that half million of these people nv"
now studying the spelling book would be
very low estimate
There are 623 schools sustained wholly or
in part by the freedmen, and 2S6 of the bull
dings in which these schools arc taught are
owned by themselves There arc also 575
Sabbath Schools, many OF them with large
proportion of colorcd teachers, in operation.
Fifteen thousand two hundred and forty eight
coorcd pupils pay tuition, the amount Of
which per month is $l1 ,377,03, and these
sclfsupporting pupils arc mainly from the re-
comfy emancipatcd population. Only 5,302
of all the pupils reported were free before the
war. Such facts show that the freedmen arc
approaching the value of education, and will
ling, when able, to pay for it. The number
of high or normal schools is increasing. In
these, youths are being fitted for usefulness
as teachers, and will be able, doubtless, to find
employment in rural districts through all the
South, amongst those of their own color
Industrial schools also are becoming more nu.
merous. In them sewing, knitting, straw
braiding, cutting, repairing and making gar
ments are taught, and many teachers of the
ordinary schools spend their spare time in i'm
parting knowledge on domestic affairs from
house to house. Night schools arc another
interesting feature. These are gathering num-
bers of adults, who beg to be under tuition
proparativc to the responsibilities which have
come 50 suddenly upon them. Lyccums, de-
batting societies and benevolent institutions
are not uncommon, aud in their moral and in.
dustral relations these people, Mr. Alvora
thinks, will probably not fall below the cx-
pectations of their most sangune friends.
1t is added, as an interesting fact, that of
the 1,406 teachers in the day and NIGHT
schools, $50 arc colored persons Chancston

WAX iANIC.-lnc !" new Ork Herald,
Of tho 9th, says:
The cable, this morning, brings interesting
and important news from Europe A war
panic has broken ont in London and Berlin,
and while it is not stated what particular event
has led to the sudden alarm, it is evident that
in both those cities tho course of tho Empc-
ror Napoleon is regarded as threatening a
speedy interruption of the existing peace. O.
The press dispatches from London state that
tho uncertainty in regard to the French Em.
peror's action and the fear that he will adopt
warlike policy, have created dstrust among
business men and occasioncd great depression
in commercial and financial circles in that city
and in Paris and later in tho day, we are
told that this feeling increased to a war panic.
Our special telegram from Berlin is of still
greater importance From that we learn
that the intelligence from Paris was regarded
OF such momentous aud alarming character as
to induce King William to give audience to
Count Bismark at the palace, at O'clock on
Sunday morning.
The effect of this news was felt in the mar
Vets in all the principal cities British con-
solstumbled one per cent. French rcntes cx-
PerteSeed sharp decline, and, III London,
American fve-twenties sunk to 733. The

strength of tho news. AS another speck of
war, 1t is also announoed that the British Goy.
ernment, having failed hitherto in her at.
tempts to bring Spain toasense Of Justice,
had despatched several ships OF war to Cadiz
to enforce the claims growing out Of tile seiz.
