Messrs. Editors,-The prospect of sys.
tenn of public schools under our new Con-
stitution has led many to suppose that we
shall at once enjoy facilities for educating
these helpless orphans without calling upon
the henevolencc Of our people. But shall
they be denied place at school until the
public schools shall 60 into operation both
in town and country? More than one
thousand have been in the various schools
during the session about closing. Must
they all stop and wait for the public schools?
Who can bear to think Of shutting them
out. of SCHOOL, And yet, without vigor-
Gus effort Just now to pay teachers for SER
vices already rendered. we shall be COM
PEELED to say to teachers. "We can help no
further
1t really seems to us that two facts in
volved in this work ought to bring liberal
response from all our people One is that
teachers of all Christian denominations are
paid by our committee; and the other is
that all teachers take them into their schools
at one collar per month. Will not every
one who reads this send me contribution
hy mail to fredericksburg?

Chinese ON the soashern Railroads.
Fifteen Hundred for THE Alabama
and Chattanooga Road An place OF
Negroes.
From ths Chattanooga tTenn.l Times, June Is.
John Chinaman is actually coming here,
and the negro will have to retire from the
construction Of the Alabama and Chatta-
nooga railroad, having been tried and found
wanting. In yesterdays Times we alluded
to the possibility Of such au event, but we
had no idea then that Mr.. Stanton would
act so speedily rs he has done. But yester-
day morning he received the following dis
patch:
"SAN FRANCISCO, June II, 1870.
81. 9. Stanton, Superintendent Alabama
and Chattanooga Railroad:
Can deliver in thirty days at Chattanooga
1000 or 1000 good Chinese laborers for
sixty dollars per head. Wages sixteen dol
lars per month and board. Free passage
back. WORKMANSHIP u Co."
TO this Mr.. Stanton replied:
CHATTANOOGA June II, 1870.
i" Koopmanschap d Co., San Francisco,
CAL:
"We will take 1,5OO able-bodied Chinese
laborers at once. We refer to the First Ma
tional Bank Of Chattanooga.
81. c. STANTON, superintendent"
So the Chinese are really to come among
ns, and we shall have an opportunity of see
ing how far they are superior to the negroes.

Capture Of Maryland Oyster Tesscls.-The

week Inspector Brown, Of the " Virginia oys-
ter navy, arrived at Norfolk with A supplv of
arms, and, putting three cases containing sixtv
stand OF small arms on board the tug 7re{p0er.
started off for his district. The next day the
.I"g,n'G and Taylor, each having its command
ing Othcer on board, also started off for Tang
lers Sound, Smith Island, where large
number OF Maryland vessels were engaged in
catching oysters. The Virginia tugs being full
ly manned and heavily armed, they soon captur-
ed ten OF the oyster vessels belonging in Mary
land ports. The oystermen were imprisoned
IN jail at DrummOndtOwn, AccOmac county.
Va. Smith $ Island is a portion of Somerset
county Md, and lies between the Chesapeake
Bay and Tangier's Sound.
Forest TreeS-1t is stated that the forest
trees in some parts of Nelson and the adjacent
counties OF Virginia are dying out by the acre,
in consequence Of the severe and protracted
drought. The same is the case with the young
oak trees in Somerset county.

was general rush for the doors, and but for
the timely voice Of the minister, Rev. Mr.. En-

THE ELECTION.

The Inspectors election, yesterday so far as
this town and county was concerned, was a
most spiritless and uninteresting affair. No
Republican ticket was run in any Hundred in
the county, so far as we can learn, consequent.
ly the Democrats had no spur to action. Some
who came to sell their votes were sorelv dis
appointed at finding no market, and voted as
1t they did mt appreciate the "sell." The in
hux OF persons to town was little more than
busy Saturday calls forth, and many times
the polls showed amparatively no signs of an
election. No colored men offered to vote or
came near the polls. There is such a deartb
OF interest that the returns, usually eagerly
sought after, can not be obtained with any Ger.
ttalnty. The result for Duck Greek is as fol-
