The report then proceeds to say !:


s.Some of the Schools reported in February failed
to send forward reports for March, which accounts
for ON apparent falling off in the attendance. The
attendance has actually increased, though tho aver.
age is not quite so high. In many localities the
children can only give q few days Of each week to
the school, as their services needed either III
the field or about the house while their parents are
in the field.
ssThe demand for educational facilities increases,
and becomes more imperative every day, and II
has occurred to me that possibly an Official appeal
to the people Of the North from the Major
the Commissioner Of the Bureau, in behalf OF tho
various associations engaged in this educational
work, might be productive of much good.
Il mako this suggestion with some hesltatlon,
and only because AIN painfully impressed WITH
the immense amount Of work to be done, and the
nadequacy of the means ut our disposal tor tho
accom- plishment Of that work.
s.An official appeal to the public from the COM
mission Of the Bureau might secure attention and
aid, where other means have failed.
s"rhe schools established are in vory successful
operation, ard their influence for good cannot be
overratod" n,,,,,r,, ro,1rooN

While on this subject, we will give fcw figures
from the Report of Rev. J. W. ALvoRD, Superin-
tendent Of Schools under the Freedmen s Bureau,
for the six months ending December, 1866. The
whole number of schools officially reported during
that period, in NIL the Southern states was 207,
with ], 4O6 teachers and 75,456 pupils. If all tho
schools had been reported, the number Of pupils,
in his estimation would have been nearly 10000

General Grant.

The New York Tribune, in late article upon the
resignation Of General Roseorans, part OF which
we copy below, makes some rather damaging allu-
sions 10 General Grant, impeaching alike his yigor
as commander and his generosity :nd fairness as
man, and quietly but pretty ce falnly indicating
that the cause is to be further heard before the
Judgment of history is to be pronounced upon his
merits, even as commander.
Fort Sumter, when he did us bis FIRST great
service in Western Virginia by compelling the sur
render OF Pcgram at Rich Mountain. The PLAN

tains finished the campaign with brilliant rapidity,
and when there was hardly o rebel picket left on
this side Of the Allegheny mountains, was relieved,
for no fault Of his own, that mountain de-
partmont might be created for Gen. Fremont He
fought and won the battle OF Luke in September,
1862, while his superior officer, Gon. Grant, was
lying inactive with his troops four miles from the
he was made Major-G General OF volunteers, there
sprang out of it u misunderstanding with Gen.
Grant which has had much to do with the marring
OF al! Rosecrans's subsequent career. The next
month, at Cornth, he beat Van Dorm and Price,
with but little more than half as many men as his
adversarios, gaining the most important victory Of
the war up to that time Recalled from the pur~
suit, greatly against his own Judgment, by Gon.
Grant, he was relieved of his command nino days

ling Green, Ky, ho had converted q demoralizcd
rabble into magnificent army, and led it across
the Cumberland. The four days battle of Stone
river was won not more by the intrepidity of tho
soldiers than by the personal valor and skill Of
Rosecrans himself, and WAS q magnificent prelude
to the brilliant campaign Of the summer of 1868
by which he drove Bragss army out of Middle Ten
nessee. and across the Tennessee river. Tho battle
of Chicamanga in September, was bloody en-
counter, in which both sides were too badly Grip
pied to continue the fray but it secured us in the
possession Of Chattanooga, the objective point Of
the campaign and the key of all the country south

Rosecrans was again relieved Of his command, and
! for several months was allowed to remain in OBJ
security. Then he WAS sent to Missouri, where, be-

MURDER is with deep regret that we learn
os murder having BEEN committed on last Mon
day afternoon about three miles south Of this vii
lage, under the following circumstances, as We
was present. a nan, who calls himself Butler,
stopped q few minutes IN front Of Mr.. W. J. Ba-
kerss residence, when Gabe Brady came up with
o gun under hisarm to protect it from rain. But
ler told Brady to put down his gun, who did SO,
Whereupon Butler drew: q pistol and shot him
through the head, causing death in short time.
The Sheriff having learned the facts OF the case,
with his usual promptness.7 in such cases, sent a
posse after Butler, who; we presume, Will be or
rested. It may be proper for us to add, that we
have only heard the tale Tpdrte-MGr1O1s Crescent.
A mass meeting of freedmen was held at Flor
ence on last Monday night. But few white cltazens

purpose of instructng the colofod people as to
their political status and to counsel them how to
vote at the proper time Among the other remarks
tertain Democratic principles and be good
Union man." The meeting lasted until II O'Clock
p n. and broke up amid the cheers Of the excited
darkies and the rapid firing Of guns.
A CAuT1oN-We learn that several letters, con-
tanning money and money drafts have been rifed
ton. Our citizens would do well to enclose in
letters through the mail only drafts payable to
some ones order in tho city, and have this ar
rangement well understood ut the other end OF
the line before forwarding. Carolina Times.
Court WEEK.-The Court OF Common Pleas and
General Sessions was opened on Monday morning
last !; His Honor Judge Noses presiding. Upon
taking his seat after the recess at noon his Honor
announced to the Bar and Jury that he had seen
the order of Gen. Sickles since tue adjournment ol
the Court, and he felt bound to obey it. He would
therefore, revoke ali lecrres he had already given,
and would not hear tEose causes arising between
the prohibited dates.
A great deal OF dissatisfaction was expressed by
many Oh account of the distinction made by the
order, between debts arising before and after the
war, and those contracted during, whereby judg-
ment can be obtained on the former class ut this
Court, but not upon the latter. We can perceive no
good reason for this distinction, as the only good
to result from IN interpostion Of this kind would
be in it's application to al debts AS it stands, a
certain number OF these SUITS are allowed tho ad-
vantage OF al earlier judgAncnt.-I6id

sat upon the body OF Negro on Monday mor1l-
