The AMERICAN UNION CLUB
RECEPTION. TO GENERAL SHERMAN

The rooms of the American Union Club
were we'll filed last night, on the occasion
Of. the reception to General Sherman. The
patriotic members of this club embraced
the opportunity of the presence among us
of this distinguished hero Of the war to
tender him formal reception, where he
could meet with many of his old friends and
companions in arms, as we'll as some who
have only known him by his brilliant ser
vices in the cause of his country.
The reception was in every sense sue
cess. At first brief address OF welcome
was made ON behalf of the club, which was
responded to by the General, when the dis
tinguished guest was introduced to mem
bers and visitors, and healths drank in
bumpers. The General was certainly in q
happy mood, if, indeed, he is ever in any
other, and engaged in the conversation with
animation and zest. And well he might be,
for he was surrounded by many personal
friends and acquaintances and large as
sembly of sincere admirers, who ascribe to
him large share of the credit for the sue
cess of our arms in the war of the re-
bellion. There were two distinguished
gentlemen present, however, who trained on
he other side, but have since become useful
citizens and trusted public officers. We al
lude to Generals Longstreet and jeff Thomp-
son. The. meeting between these two gen.
.tlemen and General Sherman was extremely
cordial and pleasant 1t was rare sight
indeed to see SO many of the prominent men
of New Orleans assembled in a small room.
The military was represented by General
Fred Myers, General A. Beckwith, Colonel
E. !. Strang; our judiciary by Judges
Pardee and Dibble; federal officers by
Collector Casey, Mr.. Herwig, Marshal
Packard, Colonel Lowell, Colonel Stock
dale, Lieutenant Burbank, Captain Merritt,
and others, while the list of citizens and
members of the club would be too long to
publish. Of the latter, Colonel Roy, Re-
corder Houghton, Captain Woodward, Ma
jor Robinson, Captain Wright, DR.. White,
DR.. Creamer, Captain Mccormick, and in
fact all who were present, were unremitting
in their attentions to their visitors, and dis
pensed their hospitality with lavish hands.
The former well earned reputation Of the
American Union Club was fully sustained,
with, if possible, the addition of new laurels.
We understand that General Sherman
will leave the city for Galveston on Sunday,
en- route for San Antonio.

New ORLEANS SUNDAY ScHOoLs.-A new
movement has been inaugurated here re-
Gently. Rev. j. S. Ostrander, general
agent Of the Methodist Sunday School
Union, from New York, has held teachers in
stitutes in New Orleans for four or five
days past. These meetings have been &C
compaaied with addresses to the children
of great interest. No less than twelve
churches participated in these exercises.
The aim of the agent was to drill teachers,
and advise how to promote the interest of
the schools, according to the most ap-
proved and modern style of books and
help auxiliary to teaching religious truth.
We learn, moreover, that q large amount
of Sunday school material will be placed in
the hands of Rev. Mr.. Mstlack. of this city,
for gratuitous distribution within the three
States of Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas.
This will be done by the generosity of the
Methodist Union.

Weather Predictions.

The singular accuracy Of the predictions
as to the weather from day to day was
never more marked than yesterday and the
day previous. The anticipated storm
reached here Wednesday night about nine
o'clock, in the character Of slight rain.
which continued at intervals till about one
o'clock Thursday morning, when there was
violent tempest and heavy rain.
Yesterday the weather was clear and par
TALLY cloudy, just as was announced to be
probable. These reports are becoming
more and more valuable, and will, after a
while, be regularly consulted every day.

Needing Of the Cley eehoel Beara.

Needing Of the City echsel Bsard.
A special meeting Of the. City School
Board took place last evening, ct the Coun-
Gil chamber, in the City Hall.
The president of tho board, Judge Dib-
BILE, called the meeting to order, and tho
following members were present: Messrs.
Boothby, Clay, Cooper, Joubert, jackson,
Longstreet Lynn, Matlack, Pierce, Pinch
back and Toy.
The president explained that he had been
requested to call the meeting at the in
stance of several members, for the purpose
of taking action upon the adoption Of rules
for the government Of the schools, and the
adoption of text books.
The minutes were read, and, after some
discussion and explanation respecting the
portion which required the printing of the
report and recommendation made by the
committee on the text books, were adopted.
The reports of committees were called for,
when Mr.. Toy remarked that the present,
meeting was without an object, or if it had
an object, he would beg leave to inquire
what the object was. In all deliberstive
bodies, town councils, police juries, or school
boards, exigencies might arise in the inter-
val between tive regular meetings which
would call for prompt action; and hence,
gequire q special meeting to meet . special
case. The chair had stated that the
present meeting had been called to take
action ON the question Of rules and text
books, yet both the committee on rules
and that on text books had, when
called, on declined q report. For what
purpose then was tho special meeting con-
tinued. He had no particular objection to
60 into the subject Of adopting rules, but
was strongly opposed to taking action on
the text book matter, because he had not
yet been enabled to give the various books
offered csrefnl examination. The text
book question. it was well understood at
the last meeting, would not be acted ON
until the next regular meeting, to take
place ON the third of next month, end tho
postponement until then would give the
members of the board time to make COM
petent examination and give an intelligent
vote.
The chair explained that although the
present was a special meeting, yet under
the rules the regular business came up in
order, and that the matters Of rules and
text books would come up under the head
of unfinished business.
After some further debate, petition was
presented from the principal Of the Berlin
school in relation to boundaries, which
petition was referred to the director Of the
twelfth district.
Mr.. Boothby reported the appointment of
Caroline Michel as FORTRESS of the Gentilly
school. COncurred in.
After a motion to adjourn, which was
lost, Mr.. Boothby moved to take up the
report of the committee on rules, which
motion was adopted.
During the reading of the rules, a motion
or two being made to adjourn, with qMantmn,
suf of seconding, after a somewhat pro-
longed debate, the board adjourned until
the next regular meeting.

.RaiIroad Mention,

We learn that tour of inspection will
be made before long over the Nashville
and North Western road.
The Ohio and Mississippi Railroad Com
pany will commence the work of extend
ing their road from the present terminus
at Jacksonville to New Albany, about the
middle of April.
Gen. Forrest met the interest on the
Railroad on the first of March. This is q
guarantee that the road will be rapidly
pushed forward to completion.
The death of John B. Turner, veteran
railroad man, is announced. He was the
founder of the great system of railways to
which Chicago owes its greatness.
The Selma and Meridian Railroad will
be sold under decree Of the United states
District Court, on the 18th day of April,
proximo. This road, if not the very best,
is certainly one of the best paying roads
in the State.
A road with three-foot gauge is in ope-
ration between Akron and Massillon, in
Ohio. Another road of this kind is to be
built between Piqua and Celins, in the
same State, a company having been organ
| led for the purpose, with capital of $500,
600 The right of way is to be fifteen feet
instead Of forty, the usual width, and the
locomotives are to weigh five tons instead
| of thirty, and to be capable Of drawing
| from ten to twenty loaded freight cars,
each of two and hall tons capacity. A
passenger car on this road will hold twenty
people. The projectors of the Buffalo and
l Springfield road are also thinking of adopt
l ing the narrow gauge railroad.

Well prepared substantials, deiicacl ee,
