Schools.
Mayor Wallach to-day reCeved the follow
ing communication from the Trustees of the
Colored Schools:
WASHINGTON, ID. @, Jan. I, 1853
Sir: In reply TO your communication OF yes
teroay, am Instructed by the Trustees of Col
cred Schools TO inform you That they respect
fully decline TO accept and receipt for the sum
'tereiR mentioned, (s36, $50 81 '.is fell pa ja "a,
If ell arreGraqes dus" such schools from the
Corporation of Washington, but the Trustees
are now, AS they ever have been, willing to ac-
cept and receipt for any sum of money which
the authorities of the city think proper TO pay
over TO them.
The Trustees are not authorized or required
by any act of Congress to give receipts s'n full
nor does the ordinance OF the Corporation ap-
propTiating the money, named in the requisi-
to demand il. 1t simply makes IL the duty of
the Mayor 10 pay over 10 the Trustees that sum,
and when he has paid il over and taken q re-
csipt for the amount, he has discharged his
whole duty. The receipt of the Trustees is a
sufficient voucher for him, and is all they can
be justified in giving.
The Trustees are not res ponsi ble for the action
'cf re CRY Councils Of the 26 Of December 1867 .
nor had they any agency in IL whatever. Your
s.prtSu sptton' therefore, that they s'intend 10
accept of that act settlement Of the coHtrove rsieS
ard difference heretofore erisi1q tec.eR them .tad
this Cooperation" is wholly un warranted. They
could not if they would, and would not If they
could, waive any legal or Just claim the colored
schools may have against the Corporation be-
yond the sum mentioned.
A. il is a matter of vital importance 10 the
schools now in operation that the Trustees
he placed in funds ~ once, permit me TO
express the hope that the requisition will be no
longer dishonored by delay.
Very respectfully, ;. J. BOWEN,
Trustee and Treasurer of Colored Schools

NosLI SENTIMENTS The following
sentiments, recently uttered by Gen. d. II.
Hill. will, we feel confident. receive the
honest and hearty commentator Ofour citi'
gems:
Now is the auspieious time to begin in
our desoa,e but still beautiful South. to
correct false notions about the servile nature
of work. Those with us who have no need
to work with their own hands belong gen
orally to that class who shrank from the
hardships Of the march, and the dangers
of the battlefield Their purple end fine
linen tell Of speculation and extortion. the
widows tears, the Orphans wall, and the
dead soldiers blood Away with them
Poverty is now the true badge OF nobility.
1t speaks eloquently ofheroism. patriotism,
obliviousness of self and selfish interest,
generous sacrifice Of everything upon the
altar OF county. No blazoned coat of arms,
ever SO plainly proclaimed honorable blood,
as does that old faded uniform. Take heed,
o We heroes Of many hard won field, lest
you bring stain upon your bright escutch-
con. There is a cowardice which Shrinks
from duty. as well as a eowardicc which
shrinks from danger. Tis just as unman-
ly to fear " the worlds dread laugh, as it
is TO fear the shot aud she'll Of an enemy
battery. II isjust as ignoolo to neglect the
obligations at home as to evade the service
owing to the country You have been true
TO the land OF your birth, be true to those
who are bone Of your bone and flesh ofyour
flesh. Your mothers, wives and sweet.
hearts have not blushel for your want Of
manhood in the field let them not blush
for your effeminaey and slothfulness at the
fireside. But we believe in the enduring
manhood of the Southern soldier We be-
lieve that he viii meet toll and poverty in
the same noble split with which he has
met privati0n and peril, His is no weak
s0;s;;iing to be crushed BY hardships aud to
be cast down by trouble. The lion in the
path Of the tinid and irresolutc is but
contemplate cur to him. We have seen
one born to aiiluenee, and who had acquit.
ted himself well in the field, reduced to the
necessity Of driving wagon. 10 our eyes
he would not have appeared so noble had
he been seated in royal cquipagc We
have seen another of the boys in gray--a
real hero in tho seyice-carrying as por-
ter great bales and boxes. We esteemed
him more highly with these burdens on his
shoulders than we would another followed
by retinue Of servants carrying bags of
gold

HoRGs,rHogs are generally quadruped.

They used to hav breed in New Eng
land few years ago which they called the
striped hog breed this breed was in high
repu,e with the landlords almost every
tavern keeper had one which he used to
show to travellers, and bag on him.
Some are full in the face like town
clock, and some are as long and lean as
cowcatcher, with steel pointcd nose onto
them.

The hog can be learnt great many cum,
