NIGHT RoBBERIEs.-This species
of crime has been on the increase Of
late in our city. Last week was
quite prolific Of them. Yards have
been entered and clothes-lines strip
ped of their appendicitis. The dry
goods store of Messrs. Heude & Co.,
was entered-the thieves forcing
their way through Intel over one
of the doors-and goods to the
amount of several hundred dollars
were distracted. The articles were
traced few days afterwards to the
house of one Peter White, (colored) +,
living just below the Deaf and Dumb
Institute, and some three hundred
dollars worth of them recovered, but
White had made off with himself and
is non est ancentus. On Saturday
night, the burglarious scoundrels
visited the premises of Col. james
o. Fuqua, cutting their way through
a window blind. removing the sash,
and entering the Coils. sleeping
apartment. Here they helped them
selves to what cash they could find
in the pockets of the wearing apparel,
amounting to fifty-five dollars, be-
sides carrying off valuable coat
and shirt. They also broke into the
kitchen and dining room, appropria.
ting to themselves lot of preserves,
a bottle of wine, &c. upon which,
i. appears they Toasted under an ar.
Dor in the garden. No clue has been
had to the perpetrators OF this rob,
berry but it is to be hoped the police,
who have been put on the track, will
be enabled to ferret them out.
Our citizens should keep them
selves continually on the alert fol
those providing visitants who commi
these crimes, and, if possible
bring some of them to sudden halt
in their thieving operations, by way
of a warning example to others VIII
may feel disposed to try their hant
in burglarious way.

The SlCKNEss.-A few cases OF
fever, pronounced by the knowing
ones to be of the "yellow" type,
have occurred in our city and ter

though the disease has by no means
assumed an epidemic form, land we
hardly believe it will, now that a
beneficial change in the weather has
taken place., yet it would be like

which exists among some of our

The PEABODY FUND AND OUR

STATE PUBLIC SCHOOLS. The Trus-
tees of the Peabody Fund, it is an
nounced, have determined to apply
the money to the introduction of the
system OF free schools into the
Southern States. The Fund, though
so munifcent, is not yet considered
large enough; and we see, by the
New York Tribune, that the Rev.
Mr.. Ames, the Southern agent of the
Fund, is now on visit to the North
in order to obtain additional contri-
buttons to aid the Trustees in their
labors on our peoples behalf.
The Tribune says of the available
means at the disposal of the Trus-
tees: "Those means, though ample,
are far from adequate to the wants
of the population which it is sought
to benefit" Mr.. Ames, it is added,
is furnished with testimonials of
character, from Generals Grant,
Thomas and Howard.
1t is not very difficult to draw from
these data the use the Peabody Fund
is to be put to in the South. The
colored generation are evidently to
receive the largest portion of its
benefits. There is a squirt at "Bu-
reauism" in the matter which we do
not like; but we trust the Trustees
will be enabled to avoid that rock,
and use the means placed at their
disposal by Mr.. Peabody's liberality
in the munificent, unsectional and
non-partisan spirit of the generous
donor.
We understand that Mr.. Lusher
has been in correspondence with the
Trustees as to the best means of
using that portion Of the Fund de-
signed for this State. If we are not
mistaken, Mr.. Lusher has recon-
mended that the several public
schools in each parish outside Of our
own be concentrated in one; that is,
one per parish, whereby the aid
afforded by the Fund could be more
efficiently bestowed, watched and
controlled, and some life and vigor
infused into the present collapsed
system.
Mr.. Lusher's experience in such
matters has great weight, and, we
presume, will do much in determining
the Trustees course towards our
public schools in the parishes out of
that of Orleans. A convention of
school teachers from all parts of the
State would be of signal benefit, we
think, in furnishing the trustees with
the practical information they must
necessarily require, ere proceeding to
active measures.
In several of our neighboring
States, such conventions have been
held since the war, and have resulted
in much good. The suggestion, we
believe, needs only to be noticed, by
the country press, to induce early
steps to carry out the measure; and
we hope some of our prominent and
influential citizens, directly interested
in our educational interests, will take
the matter in hand. -New Orleans

Death of Gen. Sterling Price.

The telegraph, some days since.
heralded the death of this brave and
gallant veteran, the hero Of many a
memorable contest in the late war,
and commander in whom were cen.
tered the affectionate devotion of
many soldier who shared with him
the fortunes, for veal or woe, Of the
famous Trans-Mississippi army Of
the late Confederacy.
Itappears from the following, cop
led from the st. Louis Times, of the
lat inst, that Death has been max
ing sad havoc, not only in the case
Of the revered and lamented old
hero, but also in other instances in
volving the lives Of those to whom
he was most closely and tenderly
related:
Monday was day of mourning
for St, Louis, the funeral obsequies
of Major Gen. Sterling Price and his
daughter-in-law, Celeste. wife Of
Capt. CELSIUS Price. being observed
at the First Methodist Episcopal
Church South, corner Of Washington
Avenue and Eighth street. The
General died on Sunday morning.
at fifteen minutes past 2 o'clock, of
Mexican dysentery; and the daugh-
ter of Gen. Thomas L. Price, Of JET
ferson city, and wife Of Capt. CELSIUS
Price, son Of Gen. Sterling Price, fol-
lowed him at midnight Of Sunday,
of complications resulting from child
birth. Thus, within the brief space
Of one day. was Capt. Price bereft
of father, wife and child.

CoMMENDABLE.-The Committee
on Streets and Landings, (of which
that practical aud efficient member,
John O'Connor. is Chairman among
other measures adopted, by the Mayor
and Board Of Selectmen of this city,
included the following in an official
report rendered the I'd inst:
fonr com mittee suggests that the landing
used by the Wharf Master be su bstan italy
repaired by facing the same with plank in
an inclined position, filing up, etc. and
extending it on the South side. A rough
and substantial shed erected therec o,
would be of much importance to our mer-
chants and the whole improvements would
be only an act Of justice and accommoda-
ton to the steamboat proprietors calling at
our wharf, who pay amply and receive
nothing in consideration.
There is no improvement more
imperatively demanded in our city
than the one above suggested. The
miserable condition of the city wharf,
the narrow and contracted space to
which it is confined, and the absence
of sufficient accommodations for pas
sengers and storage, are standing
reproach to the city. We trust it
will not be long before such causes
of general inconvenience, dissatisfac-
ton and complaint, shall be done
away with.
