SCHOOL ExAMINATIoN.-Thep pupils of the
colored school at the corner of N and 18th
street west, on Friday last, were publicly ex-
amined in their different studies by their
teacher, Miss Mann. This school is the res Ii
OF Miss Mann's own energy. By the aid Of a
few friends in New England she built her own
school- house and furnished it-a plain struc-
ture, but fitted up in manner at once neat and
commodious. 1t was opened about year and
half since with few pupils and no very fiat
tering prospects OF success; but she has perse-
vered in her noble enterprise, till her school
now numbers about thirty pupils, and has no
superior among the colored schools Sf the Dis
rlct. The pupils are of various ages-trom
SIX years up TO manhood-and nearly all began
with the very elements OF knowledge 1t is
surprising to witness the progress they have
made in so short a time The exercises of the
examination consisted in reading. spelling
geography, arithmetic and physiology, and
revealed those methods OF Instruction which
spoke for themselves as the most efficient that
have hitherto been discovered

MAN kILLED.-We mentioned Saturday the
death OF Mr.. Sheridan of Alexandria. The
affray in which be lost his life occurred at
HarrIsonburg-not Staunton. The Rocking
ham Register says: ssA number of wagons be-
longing to the q. s. burial corps encamped
near Harrisonbnrg on Tuesday evening, the
14th. After nightfall, some of the teamsters
came into town, and INDUCED pretty freely in
liquor. Several citizens OF the county, who
were also under the influence ofardentspirits,
met with them, and in the course of the asso-
citation harsh words passed, and a row en-
sued Not one seemed to be able to give
satisfactory account of the commencement or
progress OF the row, but the result was, one
teamster was badly stabbed in the side, i'm
plicating the lung, and one of the citizens
considerably bruised, and cut in the hip. The
teamster who was stabbed died from the
wound. His name was Frank Sheridan. He
was fpom Alexandria, Va, and was attached
to the Y 5. Burial Corps, under co mmand of

For the past week general dizziness in
trade has been eXpeyi,~ced in our city.
The why or wherefore q which Is to be
traced to the similar dizziness which we
hear pervadcs in ali the cities Of the coun-
try at this time. 1t could hardly be other
wise. The strange condition and mixture
of affairs, the looScneSS exhibited by our
rulers il the gravest matters OF govern
ment, the crimes, frauds, vices, and cor
ruption, which is stalking, broadcast,
throughout the land, creating an Insult
tcrable stencil" is causing feeling of un-
casincss TO pcrvadc in all tie branches OF
commerce and trade that is cnecting the
most serious consequences.
For the past year Norfolk has been
blessed. lis business has iiourlShcd, its
trade has increased, Improvements have
been made ard are being contemplated for
its greater prosperity, large number OF
buildings have been erected and others OF
fine appearance and structure are going

look forward for Il continuance Of bright
prospects and solid results.
train from Petersburg and by the Sea-
board road brings with them the great sta
pie. 1t is later coming in than last year,
owing no doubt to the great decline in It's
price, which caused it to be kept back

Quite little stir was created this morn

PETERSBURG, November Is, 1861.
1t was only an hour or two after lhc
closing of my letter of Saturday evening
in which spoke Of the good order OF .,e
city, that two serious Interruptions 10 the
nuhlic peacc occurred. One OF them was
caused by party Of negroes who wore
guilty of series Of riotouS proceedings IN
Bland ford, and with resistance to the OIL.
GERS who were sent to arrest them. q
welt aimed blow. however, with the pO-
liccman'S club brought them to terms,
and the leaders, two in number, quietly
snccumbc6, and were lodged in jail. Their
names are Birchctt and Hartz. They
were examined before the Mayor to-day,
when the former was sent on for further
trial, and the latter bound over in the
sum of $500 TO keep the peace. An I'M
mcusc crowd of negroes, filling the court
room to its utmost capacity, attended the
TRIAL, but no irregular demonstration took
place.
The other case was in the arrest of
noted horsc-thict by the name OF Granville
Montclle, who was discovered IN the R'ch-
mond cars while the train paused in its
passage through the city. While being
conducted to Jail he broke loose from the
officer, who snapped his pistol at the fngi-
tive, aud then gave pursuit. Being hard
pressed, Montelc wheeled round and fired
his pistol at tho policeman, but without
effect. The officer then closing with him,
icllcd him to the ground with his club ;
after which there was no further resistance.
In consequence Of the absence of witnesses
his case was not taken up to-day, but he
will have a hearing as soon as they can be
brought together.
Yesterday was a very interesting day at
several of the churches. At st. JoSeph's,
Bishop Magill preached in the forenoon
and afternoon to crowded audiences, COM
posed in considerable part Of Protestants.
