Our Publlc CoIored sehoa,s.

The first school established and sup
ported by taxes upon the public in any
city at the South, YVES built up in the city
Of Nashville. Our schools are now un-
surpassed by those of any other city in the
Union. They are the pride and boast of
the people, and are doing an incalculable
amount of good Several months ago the
municipal authorities took the initiatory
steps to bring the colored scholastic popu-
lation within the bene6cent influences of
the system of free education. They were
promptly seconded by the Board of Educa-
ton. A large brick building, situated in
the northern part of the city, and admira-
bly, adapted for the purpose, has been
purchased and will soon be placed in a
condition equal to that of any school
building in the city. Other buildings in
other localities will be Immediately Sc
cured, sufficient to accommodate the colored
children, and furnish them with the means
of free education.
In order to make these schools fully equal
III all respects to those enjoyed by the
whites, the Board of Education has selected
two of the most experienced teachers, who
stood high in their estimation, az principals,
aud required the able and acceptable Super
intendent TO devote due proportion of his
attention to the organization and conduct
of these schools. The work has already
commenced, and Professors Haley and
Hamilton are daily at the rooms of the
Board of Education, prepared to issue
tickets of admission. 1t is very desirable
that the colored people should bring their
children forward aud enter them at once,
in order that the Board shall know how
many they have to provide teachers and
room for. 1t has been advertised in all the
papers Of the city; but few have come for
ward and registered.
We hope the colored people will not
misapprehend the intentions of the authori-
ties in this matter. Their purpose is to
furnish the colored children all the adj
vantages of a good education, and thus
prepare them to become, in after life, good
and useful citizens. The schools VIII be
continued from year to year, and it is all
important that the colored children, es-
pecially the young, should enter at the be-
ginning, and reap all the benefits of this
public benefcence. There is nothing COM
pulsory, but the advantages will suggest
themselves with such force that there
should be no hesitation. We sincerely
hope that there are nonein the community
who would interfere, and endeavor to
create the false impression that the authori
ties were actuated by any but the purest
of motives in offering them aid, and that
of the people in an honest effort to ad-
vance and elevate the colored people.

The New York journal of Commerce of the
afternoon of the 10th inst says; "The de-
mand for money from speculative borrow
ers has somewhat increased, but with the
large amount of surplus capital seeking
temporary employment, call loans are read
lily obtained on acceptable stock collatersls
at per cent, and upon government secu-
rites at per cent"
As to the effects of the existing plethora
of the loan market, great contrast is seen
in the stock exchanges in Europe and in
this country. In New York the monetary
ease has stimulated speculation, given an
impulse to the public confidence, and, to-
gether with the prospects of good crops,
has caused the prices of of railroad secu-
rites to recover to some extent from their
long recent depression. In England, al
though the rate Of interest is down to 2per
cent, yet, in consequence Of bad manage
ment on the part of several roads and bad
legislation in Parliament, the railway mar
kets of London and Liverpool have been
greatly depressed, sales being pressed and
prices falling heavily.

NASHVILLE AND CHATTANOOGA
RAILROAD.
Hts Present CODditiOn-Damage by the
spring Freshets-Figures and Items
for the Fiscal Year.

Its Present COnditiOn-Damageb by the
Spring Freshets-Figures and Items
for the Fiscal Year.
From the just published report of Presi-
dent Burns to the stockholders of the Nash
vile and Chattanooga railroad for the
fiscal year ending June Both, we make the
following interesting extracts, showing the
present condition of the road:
You will please bear in mind the en-
HANGED price of labor and material requi-
site to operate the road, as compared with
prices previous 10 the war and, in order
to strip from this report all extraneous
matter, | will leave out all expenses of
every kind, and make use only of the item
Of net cash earned by the old organization
and by the new, during their respective
terms of management.
l commence the records of the old or
ganization of the company with the sixth
annual report, made to the stockholders in
December, 1853, by V. K. Stevenson, Esq.
1t will be remembered that the road was
completed in January, 1854, throughout its
entire length, and at that time entered up
on its business career as a finished road.
The following table shows the yearly
net earnings, as compiled from the annual
reports rendered by the management, to
and including the fourteenth, which was
the last one made by them, and which
brings Us down TO June Both, l86l-that
being the date fixed upon by the stock
holders as the end of each fiscal year:
Nashville union and dispatch. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1866-1868, 1867-07-14

Total for years and months...-Sl ,462 SSS 80
Being an average of S192,S35 90 per
year. aud $3.50 &C per month.
The present Board of Directors were
elected by the stockholders in August, 1860,
and assumed the management of the road
on the 18th of September, 1865, and the
following statements in regard to earnings
made to include May 3lst, 1867, embracing,
therefore, period of 204 months
Net earnings from Sept, Is, 1865, to
June /, 1867, 2012 vs. 81

Average per month 2o,bi9 Z
Being an average excess of net earrings over
those of the old organization of Sl5l,-
Sl9 GA per year, or Sl2609 81 per month.
And with these very gratifying results
should be taken into consideration the
fact that the last fiscal year embraces the
cholera period of 1866, which lasted near
ly four months, Frustrating business 10
such an extent that, during the time of
the epidemic, the road barely paid Its run
ming expenses.
As if 10 make good the adsge that mis-
fortunes never come singly," our road was
visited, in the spring of the present year,
hv the most disastrous food known to the
present generation. Nearly all the bridges
between the mountain and Chattanooga
were DESTROYED, including nine spans of the
Tennessee river bridge, at Bridgeport.
Entertainments were washed away, and the
track thrown out of the line for miles.
This destructive freshet cost the company
Sl5l, 444 81 in repairs, and the loss of
business sustained while communication
was broken, with the damage to freight
done in transit will amount to nearly as
much more. And the detention in trade,
coupled with the fact that freights and
commercial traffic, if interrupted in one
line or route, will naturally seek another,
caused the road injury and loss which
cannot be estimated.
With these two disasters in the fiscal
wear, snd the year still lacking month Of
completion with all the additional losses
of 203 months; with our period of service,
commencing Immediately after the cessa-
ton of hostihties between twoof the largest
armies that have commended for power in

Yes, our little pet is gone and his departure
has made vacuum that cannot be easily filled

pleasure of the time when her boy" should
have attained the age of manhood. She hoped
that he would be the stay and soace Of her de-

her Farling home. No more shall we hear the

Christian fortitude this sudden bereavement.
