INFERNAL-The War Department
has received Il letter from Brecken
ridge country, Kentucky, giving an ac-
count of most horrible outrage attempt
ed upon the inmates and freinds of one
Of the largest .colored schools in that
county. 1t appears that the teacher pro-
posed tt have an exhibition on Christ
mas Eve She was warned that it
could not be permitted, but refused to
believe ahat the rebels would carry their
threats inte execution, and wcut on
with her PREPARATION. The exhibition
was finally held in one Of the colored
churches, and was packed with the
friends Of the school and children With
in a few minutes after the exercises closed
but not until the people had left, the
church was blown to pieces by the explo-
sion of keg Of powder which had been
placed under the platform on which the
children were seated and probably touch
ed with slow matchs An explosion
during the exhibition would have des-
stroyed the whole crowd.
The Paris ConStitmjnnel, Il government
organ, makes the statement that the gov
ernments Of France and Italy are on very
intimate terms. The best commentary
