LETTER FROM PETERSBURG,
tg PETERSBURG, June 20. 1872.

fssly I'd PETERSBURG, June 26, 1879.
TO he Editor QfHe State Journal: Tla'
It seems that our colored preacher and
aspirant to Congressional honors adopts a
strange method in attempting to refute
what he supposes to be the unfriendly as
sertions of your, correspondents, "Amicus''
and Occasionally" Fearing "to break
lance" by a Iejoinder in print, excuse
quotations. he adopts the plan of replying
at meetings, where there is slim chance
of your correspondents showing the falla-
cy of his would-be refutations. On Friday
night last at our courthouse. he substi-
tuted structures on "Anicus" and the
STATE JOURNAL, in lieu of a speech. It
is also reported of truth, that he did the
like in Greensville or Saturday, and it is
common talk that few stump-speakers
could employ the epithets ''liea and "liar"
more frequently than he did onthese occa-
sions, and. yet, mark you, he dtsclaims in
the same breath, chat the is leaving his
Masters service for the temple of all UNI
righteousness, when the very tone in
which he utters these opprobrious terms,
proves conclusiyely that he has already
taken many steps in thatdownward course.
Oh! consistency, where art thou? Echo
answers, "where ?' Some of us think that
the reason he does not reply in writing, is
because he does not quite understand the
construction Of the English language. We
entertain this opinion from the fact that he
styled your parenthetical marks quota
tons, and from them concludes that "(an
intelligent colored manv means a white
man, and more than this, because he mis-.
construes your comments on 'Amicus,n
aud makes you say that the "American
Congress is the house of all unrighteous-
ness !pEs OF course, he volunteers to call
you liar for this, his own miscenception.
Now iii the name of everything that is
just, when we put these things together, do
they not go very far to prove, that should
he be sent to Congress, our interest will be
intrusted 10 very poor hands ? But the
most amusing part of his supposed refnta-
ton is, he asserts that your correspondent
Amieuso is white man, iorsooth
He measures every colored mans attain
mcnts by his ownmeagre scholarship. But
let me assure him, that although Brother
Mathews was silly enough to say in his
"little say" at Greensville, that Brother
Williams was as high in intellectual attain
ments above MIR. Stowell as heaven is above
earth, there are many eolored youths in our
schools who understand q proposition much
better than he does. / hope, therefore, Bro.
w. will no longer refuse to believe that
many Of his colored brethren here are capa-
BILE of giving him some wholesome advice.
While he advocates our eligibility to office,
let him not longer detract from our qualifi-
cation in this respect. Till he proves IN
scrfting TO the contrary, T'll still claim to be
ANXIOUS.

CoI.oREp NORMAL SCHooL.-The fiji

COLORED NORMAL SCHoOL.-The fifth
annual commencement exercises of this in
stitution were held last evening in the hand
some hall of the Normal building. The
annual examination was held last week.
1t was written examination, occupying
three days, being very full, if not exhaust
i've of the course of study, and making an
average of about fifteen foolscap pages of
manuscript to each pupil. We have in
spected portion of these papers, among
them those on grammar, arithmetic, map
drawing from memory, and philosophy.
The questions were full and comprehensive
of the principles, and the practical examples
requiring solution, and sentences requiring
correction or analysis, were not those OF
the text books, but original and of consid-
erable difficulty and complcxitY. The gen.
eral excellence of the papers is remarkable,
and would be surprise to others as it was
to us.
1t would scarcely be possible for pupils
to pass through the course of study here
required, witnessing daily, fer three years,
the best models of instruction and disci-
pline, spending a part of the last year Of
their course in the Model School" a,
teachers, under the supervision and crit.
cism of their own instructors, without
learning the art of teaching. And this
conclusion is fully confirmed by the profes.
sional standing of the graduates Of this
school. They rank among the best, in the
grades in which they teach in the public
schools of this city; and numerous let
ters from county superintendents speak il
the highest terms of their services, and art
asking for ten times as many as the schoo
| can supply.
This school was founded by Mr.. r. M
| Manly during his five years service as Stat
Superintendent OF schools, under the Blu
reau, and he now acts as its principal ant
purveyor of funds for its maintenance
Miss M. L. Stratton, upon whom falls tn
immediate care of the discipline, and al
important share of the instruction, is rep
resented as lady of rare qualifications il

Miss Katie S. Manly, the latter having
charge of calisthenics and the musical de

their creditable performances in the late ex-
aminations, and the teachers showed very
laudable pride in the result of their labors,
and all passed off well and pleasantly to
all present. The hall was crowded with
visitors of both colors.
! The programme arranged was carried
out in spirited manner. It consisted OF
compositions, declamations, dialogues, re-
citations, debates, &c., and engaged nearly
or quite all the pupils of the school. The
performances were very largely interspersed
with music, Miss Katie Manly presiding at
the piano, and the young ladies of the va
rious classes lending their superb voices
to the occasion. "''''.'. s-'
AT the conclusion of the exhibition, Mr..
Manly made some very interesting expla-
nations to the honor of the scholars. Thir-
teen scholars had been perfect in their at
tendance during the past year, not having
been absent single day. The attendance
of the whole school was remarkable
for its regularity, as well as for its unpre-
cedented progress in the various studies.
The following scholars of the colored
Normal school were not absent once during
the year: in tho seniorc class, Rose Dixon,
Fanny Roane, Mamie Merriweather, B. L.
Blackburn, Lucy Thompson, Albert Nor
will in the middle class, Betty Mcdaniel,
William Thompson in the junior class,
