The National Educational Convention at
Trenton, in New Jersey, saysthe New York
Herald, met on Monday The attendance
does not appear to'have been yery1lage, the
first day of the meeting, but twas considerably
increased on Tuesday On Monday . com.
munication was read from Rev. Charles
Brookes, who has for a long time been iden-
tilted with educational interests in Massa1
chusetts. 1t advocated the adopti6nse the
New England system Of free schoolsithroughl
out the country, calling upon Congress I'd
give public lands for free schools and fred
universities, sand make these the organic
law of the country, since 10 Congress has
the right to hang it ought to acknowledge
its right to educate,n and according to Mr..
Brookes "one million chifdren In ehis cosIn-
try can neither read nor write" Admirable
as some of the features Of the New England
school system are, the project Of introd ducing it
everywhere, even in the sparssF settled
tracts of our vast country, is at least for the
present, simply Quixotic, And the project
recommended in another paper by Ill, J W.
Bulkley, of establishing "a national bureau
of education for creating, and dlfusiHlgg usstlg a
healthy national sentiment, 2 seems toabt
equally impracticable, What ths. trpe friends
of education should now aim to attain is te
have each State provide means, SO far a
possible, for thorough elementary Training
in our primary schools. . slli e;rl s''s' ese Z

to surprise the Cubans. His noYemcnts

was sent to reconnoitre, and, if the enemy
appeared, to lead then into. an ambush
which had been prepared, where Gen. Jor-
dan and 1000 men awaited thenlss Gen.
Valmaseda met the advanced party and at
tackled them. They retreated to- the main
body, who received the Spanish force more
than double their number) with such ear
nestness that they were thrown into disor-
der and it was impossible to reorganize
them. This success was followed by a
charge which forced a disordered- retreat
The success of Gen. Jordan was complete.
The colored militia, impressed into the SER
vice, broke on the first attack, and nearly
all deserted to the standard of Gen. Jordan.
| This fight, it is asserted, has destroyed the
army of Valmaseda and given the Cubans
control of the entire Holguin district The
