Enron GATE ClTr: On Friday last, through
the politeness Of Henry Till ana assistant SUI
perintenaeAt smith managers Of the Toledo'
Peorla and Warsaw Raiirusd Company, few
Of cur eisizens were invited u free tide 10
the iourishins town Of Bashheii. The present
iaIesion 81 ...is read With The 7. .. : q, rail-
road.
On crossing lie river here we took the ears
1t Hamilton, where We meta large delegation
Of the i've men Of Warsaw, also destined FOR
Bushnell We LEFT Hamilton, opposite Keo-
kuk, about 0 clock a. M, ia ose OF those
beautiful double decked cars and sped a'oag
over one Of the best new railroads we ever
travelled. The road bed is superb, the bridges
sold and safe, the water tanks and slatiou
honses aH ne y, ths latter equal 10 any thing
of tie ksnd in The Wess-
The distance from Keokuk to Bushnell is
called fi,y>ons miles, with station>houses
at Evasion, Burnside, Ia Harps, Blandens-
vile, ClArksviile ard Shes,dsa. From these
several points is presented the finest district
Of fsrmiag land to be found in the West.
We arrived at Bu-hseIl about IL o. clock M. J,
and were surprised TO find so much Of town,
both in business and population. 1t has about
2 fna ssi.Li.--.-, = i-ss~ part Of wnorn were
originally from New Jers-y. From the ap-
pcarance Of her dwellings and churches, We
are led to believe that good morals and intel
ligeEce predominant
We were not able to obtain the Statistics
Of the amount Of business done 10 Bushnell,
bu. understand il TO be one of the bes. pro
duce depols on the hue Of the Chicago, Bur
ling,oE and Quincy railroai Almost every
character Of business is here represented, and
all in . 1ourisbing condition.
Among the business houses We we're pleased
to find our former tovnsmen ". r Bidle-
man, sho has recently transferred his boot.
and shoe store from here 20 Bushnell, where
be has permanently located. He is worthy
Of saecess. as We had few better or more reiia,
bic business men IN keekas, aud ws;rns, our
Bushnell neighbors will fad him . valuable
acquisition TO their own.
we understand the grading on the line OF
this road, east Of Bashneli, will be complies
ted early the coming spring to Peoria. and
the iroais o. tho way. Its con6dssily ex,
pec,ed that this link viii be ready for use By
the frss Of Jaiy next, when We will have
another outlet TO the East sarpass.ns al 9th

lima, in note of this date, there is mag
niticent future before the South, ifher people
will wisely develop her material resources,
and secure generous wages to her laborers,
and the chance to her landless reople to be-
come freeholders. The true test of the civ
ilization and prosperity of community is
the condition of its laboring classes; for
where the laboring people are most intelli-
gent and most independent, the whole COM
munity is most prosperous. This is a vital
and all-prevading law of social and political
economy to which the people of the South
cannot long blind themselves-now that sla-
very has been abolished.
Circumstances bear heavily upon your
race at this time, but you must not despond.
America is better and broader land than
Africa, and causes are at work which will,
in little while, relieve you from the agonies
you are called to endure for the present.
These are the dark hours that precede a
glorious dawn They are dark, very dark;
but the coming day will be one Of perfect
brightness. Cheer and sustain your people;
encourage those who can to procure land.
Write to General Howard, Commissioner OF
tie Freedmen's Bureau, il you have not
already done so, and learn what provision,
of which any of your class can avail them
selves, is made by the homestead law. The
Southern States, when so reconstructed as
as to be accepted by Congress, will give you
equality before the law, and will each pro-
vide system of education to the advantages
Of which all will have the right, do not
wonder at your depression; at your willing
ness to flee from the. crushing ills you are
called to endure; but l think it would be as
unwise for you to go to the prosperous
young Republic now rising on the coast OF
Africa, as it would for our impoverished
Government to apply from half million to
million of dollars-for it would cost that
sum-to the expectation of laborers whose
sweat is needed on her unoccupied land.
While, therefore, shall present your Pc
tition, and am grateful to you for its simple
and moving eloquence, l would, were COM
pliance with it seriously proposed, oppose,
the measure.
Let me suggest that If you, or others at
Columbus, are not in correspondence with
the Congressional Executive Committe, thai
you write to its secretary, T. L. Tullock
ESQ.,. and ask him to send you several pub
LEGATIONS of the committee. Gather your
people about you and read this letter te
| them, and tell them that it is the voice, not
of one man, but of hundreds of thousands o.
men in the North, and that they must be O
good courage, and by their temperance, in
dustry, economy, and loving help to eacl
other prove their manhood, and that they
deserve AL the blessings that free govern
ment can confer upon its citizens.
Yours, very truly,
WIN. ID. KELLEY.

white vote in this county is very small.
Everything here passed off quiet. but the
most strenuous efforts were made by the far
ming interest to prevent both white and
black from taking any part in the election,
and with great success upon the white race.
DALE County, Feb. 9.-Dale and Henry
counties are without any Board Of Regis
tration. They were at a loss what to do,
but polls were opened and votes taken. If
protected, we want registers appointed, and
the vote regularly taken. 1t is dangerous
for Republicans to attend the polls here.
The Destructives took colored men coming
to vote and beat them with pistols, sticks,
&C.
CHooTAw County, Feb. S.-If the Consti-
tuition is defeated, Union men here will have
to leave. We are already threatened with
exile, and mob-law prevails. The freedmen
are being discharged and driven TO the
woods. We are in desperate condition.
If Congress forsakcs us now, Ike Union party
is gone. Nothing prevents an outbreak but
the GOODNESS of the Union men. Organiza-
tions are being formed to drive us from the
country. Our children are driven from the
schools, and social prescription prevails.
Delaware tribune. [volume] (Wilmington, Del.) 1867-1877, 1868-02-27
The following arc the salaries of the teachers

With this exhibit of expenses before us, we
can estimate the cost Of tuition for each scholar
per year. We have seen that during one year
the entire cost Of our Public School system was
s33, PIG, and that 2,514 scholars were being edu-
Gated under this system. This would show the
cost of each scholar per year to be $l2.91.
Is this moderate expenditure, it may reasona-
bly, be asked The question may be answered
by reference to other localities, where good free
schools arc maintained, aud by instituting com
parisons with the expenses incident to those sys-
TENS.
Iu New York city, the law allots the sum Of
ten dollars for each pupil who actually attends,
and is taught for certain period during the year,
but of late it has been demonstrated that during
the year 1867, the average attendance in the pub
lie schools of that city was 10000, and the ex-
pense 81, ,939, ,3iS, an average of S32.65 for each
scholar.
In the Pennsylvania School Report for 1866
we find that in 6j counties of that State the cost
of teaching each scholar per month, averaged AZ
cents but some Of these counties ranged as high
rs 81. 10 and :1.1I. In these counties, the saa-
ries of the female teachers averaged S26.31 pei
month, or s315.72 per year, while the average Of
the salaries Of our teachers per year is is S356.43
The school fund, it is believed, is economically

their studies. The fund is regarded as n sacrcd
trust for the benefit of the youth of the city,an
MS such, is conscentiously applied.
