Arrest OF a Counterfeiter.

A correspondent of the Lynchburg Re
publican writing from Abingdon on the
4th, says:
Our quiet town was much excited to.
day by the appearance of two strangers,
who had decoyed one Esquire Deane. OF
Wise county, into their net, as United
States detectives, after having spent much
time with him in his mountain home,
where SUSPICION has long rested, that a
gang of counterfeiters were located and
were circulating counterfeit silver and
greenbacks.
Esquire Deane formerly a man of high
responsibility, took three detectives to his
bosom, and, according to arrangement,
met his supposed friends at the Virginia
House, in this place. to-day, to turn over a
lot of the currency, &C., and, after doing
so one of the party announced himself as
an officer of the United States, and arrest
ed poor Deane, who is now in Jail, and
who may yet reveal the entire secret,
which will secure many villains a good
trade in u penitentiary, and save us
from further imposition at their hands.

SCHOLASTIC POPULATION.

BY a careful compilation from the cen,
sus returns, made by Col. Thomas III.
Reeves, for the County Court Clerk,
pursuant to an order of the County
Court at its January Term, the Scholastic
population of Washington County, over
the ages of six and under eighteen years,
is found to be 56O1, and each school (civ-
il) district, the ratio to this number is as
follows:
Mauks, 3OS; Brickers. 259; McAlis-
ters-355; Williams 273; Taylors, 222 /;
Embreeville, 221 Greasy Cove, 231 Z;
Fines, 367; Brush Creek, 412; Knob
Creek, 200; Boon's Creek, $40; Buffa-
10 Ridge, 25S; Hoggorths, 225 Swaneys,
$40; Jonesboro, 1853, Leesburg, 1872;
Campbells, 3O1 ; Flag Pond, SIP; and
Fall Branch, 1S2.
This will be the basis ofapportionment of
the school money under the county system
for the ensuing year, and we publish it
for the information of those interested in
the education of our 5601 children.
This compilation required more labor
than one would imagine, and the-prompt-
ness of the Clerk, John F. Grisham, ESQ.
and Col. Reeves in getting up this report,
will be duly appreciated by all the friends
of public schools and education through
out the country.

THE WAR.

Beautiful and lovely France, once the
colossus of European powers, to-day lies
a suppliant at the feet of Bismarck and
the Prussian King. Paris, her proud Capt.
tol, after having been besieged over four
months by the German forces, has fallen.
The guns of the enemy have destroyed
many of her buildings and killed many
non-combatants, including a large mum.
Der of women and children. Amid all
these scenes of terror and carnage, French
heroism and determination never wavered.
Shut up in a beleagured city, prowled and
plundered by its own r%ufians, riots OF
daily occurrence, the gaunt spectres Of
starvation filling house and street, conf
dence of raising the siege and driving
back the Prussians to their own soil, ever
abided in the hearts of those loyal to the
throne, until it became folly to hope for
. change of fortune.
Whilst the French fought bravely the
Prussian army met them with no less he
roism. France is still glorious in her de-
feat and humiliation. Prussia is mighty
in her victory and ~magnanimity. The
result of this wal will change the whole
phase of European politics and diplomacy.

SCHOOL TAX.

In order to establish a system of Public
Schools throughout the county, it is pro-
posed that the County Court, on Monday
next. at its February term, submit to the
people of Washington County, a PROPOSE
ton to levy a school tax for the year 1871,
of two mills and a half on the dollar of
taxable property; and that the Sheriff
hold an election throughout the county
on Saturday, the 1Sih of March, to ascer-
tain the will of the people upon the sub
ject. Those who favor the proposition to
vote "School Tax" Those opposed mo
School Tax"
BY this means the sense of the people
of the county, upon the subject of Public
Education can be ascertained, and if a ma
jority of them prefer the blessings of an
intelligent and refined society, and are
williRg to give to all children of the coun-
try, whether rich or poor, white or black,
an equal start, intellectually, in the race
of life, as we believe they are. we all de-
sire to know il. Sue an endorsement at
the ballot box, will infuse new life and
energy into those who are laboring in the
cause of education.
