GENERAL S. c. ARMSTRONG, principal of the
Hampton normal and agricultural institute of
Virginia, proposes to meet at the Bay State
house, this evening, at II O'Clock, those who may
be interested in the educational work among the
freedmen of the south, and especially in the
character and needs of the institution under his
charge. 1t is not his object at present TO secure
immediate contributions, but to enlist the sym
patty of the friends of southern education, and,
if possible, to give direction to the benetactions
of those who may he disposed to aid in the ele-
Vation of the newly enfranchised race. General
Armstrong served with honor in the late war;
and since its close has devoted himself with en-
thusiasm and great practical ability to the work
of educating the freedmen. The institute of
which he is president, has now nearly ninety
pupils of both sexes. How his work is estimated
in Virginia may be learned from the following
letter addressed to Gen. Armstrong, by the state
superintendent of public instruction, who was
formerly a rebel officer, but is a gentleman of
humanity and intelligence:
From almost every quarter in our state comes up
cry for colored schools. To-day thousands, prob
ably, of colored children, are without schools be-
cause of this unsupplied want. The money is ready.
The schOOlhOuses are ready, or can be obtained,
but the teachers cannot be found Your best pupils
must all be put to work in the summer. But you
ought to have five times many pupils as you
have. approve the plan of your institution high
ly Surely IL the moneyed friends of education knew
the good you are doing and might DO, they would
give your Institution large endowment.
Very truly yours,
W. II, RUFFNER.
Gen. Armstrong has the confidence and good
wishes of ex-Gov. Bullock, Mr.. Hoar, Mr..
Salisbury, Mr.. Moen, Mayor Earle, and others
of our leading citizens. We hope that good
number will meet him this evening and give
him an assurance that his work has many hearty
and helpful friends in Worcester.

SHORT EXTRA SESSION AND FEW SPEECHES.
The extra session of the senate will not last
over two weeks, and there are hopes that one
week or ten days will answer. A majority of
the senators desire very brief session, and they
will not allow general debate in open session.
and there is little temptation to much speech
making in secret session when the Globe cannot
scatter the debate over the country.
TACK CHANDLER AND THE HIGH COMMISSION.
lack Chandler still remains in Washington,
and is remarkably silent in regard to the forth
coming treaty with England. AS is well known,
he used to be rabid on the subject of English
affairs, but the high commissioners have taken
pains to propitiate the senator from Michigan,
and it is rumored that he will not oppose a rea-
sonable treaty. SAM WELLER.
