al AN DYfNG, EGYPr, NG."-The
letter of our Louisville correspondent,
written on board the steamer General
Lytle, viii I've found Of more than ordi-
nary interest. The namc Of this steam
er recalls one of the most chivalric and
pleasing incidents Of the late war. 1t
vas in 0ne of the battles Of the West
which Of them our memory does not
supply--that General Robert II. Ly-
tie, member of the Cincinnati press,
who had risen not only from printer to
editor, but from private TO general,
was killed frr iu advance of his com
mand, while galantly leading an assault
upon oBr lines. His horse bore his
corpse into our lines, and the stecd and
his dead rider were both captured -
So soon us it was known that Che au-
thor of that rare poem, rs familiar and
as greatly admired South as North,
81 am Dying, Egypt. Dying lay
dead in the camp, officers and men
crowded around to tuke last look at
the face of the poet soldier who had
achieved so great literary triumph
There was no rejoicing over the death
of this fallen enemy; but there was in
truth something on each soldiers cheek
chat for the moment washed away the
status of powder. Tcnderly they took
him, and when the battle was over an
escort of honor, appointed from among
the leading Confederate officers, bore
him back to his own camp, under a flag
of truce, on a rudcIy constructed funer-
al bier, with his martial cloak around
him. In life he had touched that
chord oi human sympathy which
makes all the world kin--and in death
It's harmonious vibrations silenced all
resentment and thrilled the hearts
alike of friends and foes With a hobler
plSsion than hatred or revenge. -

Justice in an Irregular Manner

There was all exciting scene in the
Supreme Court in Boston on Tuesday,
the bone Of contention being young
Irish irl, Hannah Slatterly, aged Eix-
teen, who had been living in the family
of VIM. Edwards, of Southbridgc,
Mass, and who had recently renounccd
the Roman Catholic faith and joined
the Baptist Church. The mother, who
is a Catholic, sought to recover pos
session of her child on writ Of habcas
corpus but the Judge dismissed the
petition on the ground that he had no
jurisdiction, as the girl was not re-
strained from her liberty. The friends
Of the mother then attempted to remove
her from the court room by force. but
we're prevented by the bystanders,
whose Sympathies had been aroused in
behalf of the girl. The excitement
grew intense, the crowd representing
largely the legal profession, and inclu-
ding the Sheriff, uniting in asserting
that the girl had entire right to f,llow
whoever she chose, aud TO one being
willing to take the burden ofnterfcring.
At this point some of the most ardent
sympathizers of the girl had lack
driven up to the rear of the court
house, and while some Of the number
engaged Mrs. Slattcrly and her friends
in conversation, another party told the
girl to fec through the rear entrance
of the court room nbd JUMP into the
carriage in waiting. The suggestion
was instantly acted upon, and with a
rush Hannah bounded down the same
steps that about twenty years ago,
Anthony Burns fled from, and was
soon driven toat least, temporary
place of safety.

To the Friends of Education IN
West Va; The Publishers of the
West Virginia Educational Journal
have but two more numbers to issue
to complete the volume. These will
appear in due time. The work was
undertaken at some pecuniary risk,
through the solicitation Of many re-
liable friends of our Free Schools
Our loss for the current year is es-
timated to be about $3.50 We have
had no agent in the State soliciting
subscriptions but have depended
entirely on the voluntary eforts Of
the Friends of the Journal. We
thank them cordially for their a'sis-
tauco. The success the present year
shows clearly that West Virginia is
able to support an educational
monthly of her ow n, if all her teach
crs will cooperate in the work.
viii they do So? or will they give
their money and Influence to support
other journals outside our State? We
have endeavored to make the West
Virginia Educational Jcurnal an ex-
preston of our school work and to
adapt it to our homo interests. So
FAR it has been highly approved both
10 our own State aud by Educators
in other parts of the country. Our
system of Free Schools is now to be
tested at the bar Of public opinion.
The coming year will be an impor-
tant era in its history. Shall our
Free Schools be mOintaiDedY Shall
the educational interests Of the child
rem of the State be maintained? Can
the State afford to allow her schools
to be overthrowu or weakened? We
are sure the true Friends Of the State
will give but one response to these
questions. We hope if the Journal
is properly and cordially sustained to
make the next volume superior to
the present by adding departmeu ut
of General Educational Information,
embracing a synopsis of important
items from all the Educational month
lies.of the country. 1t will be
specially devoted to our own school
and ILsti ute work-noting all of
interest in our own State. In its
literary character and style it will We
trust. meet the approval Of intelligent
readers. VIII you aid by contribution

through which he can communicate
with every teacher in the State; it is
eminently proper that this organ
should be an educational magazine,

take their JOURNAL, and that it may
be adopted as the organ Of the

Nothing, says an exchange, presents a
sadder commentary upon the present

Der of families, both in town and in the
country, but more especially in the latter
that subscribe to no paper of any kind
How many families are thus growing up
utterly ignorant of what is transpiring in
the world around them-ignorant of the
mighty events OF the day. But W no cantell
of the vast amount of injury inflicted upon
the rising generation, those who are to take
our place at no distant day-grow,ng up
without any knowledge of the present OF
any study Of the past; this ignorance, too
being imbuded into them by the sanction
of those who should, and doubtless do
know better, did they only think Of
the injurious effects of their insane course

he is responsible the means of acquiring
some knowledge of the moving panorama
