Inmberland since the 29th OF July are on their
way 10 Georgeowu or Alexandria. There are
0,r mon the canal eastward bound three nun
l.,i and ninety-scven boats, carrying forty
.,rae thousand four hundred aud thirty tons,
.I,r hundred-wei ght Of coal! This, we doubt
r'r is unprecedented in the history Of the
.na. There are no boats at Cumberland to-
day; those remaining yesterday morning hav-
in: loaded and started during the day Until
me return of some boats now going down there
can be no departures. The next departures,
therefore, cannot occur before Monday, or pos
o.,lrrcd, near Burlin, a temporary wooden

Last night and to-day boats have been arriv-
Ing continuously, and up to noon about fifty
had reached here, and the cry was still they

gees have hauled into the wharves, and not
withstauding the rain unloading and loading
went on vigorously At the various coal agen-
ccs the aspect of affairs is decidedly more
Lnar;nr than for some time Dast and the num-
Der of idlers and anglers have sensibly dimiu-
iShcd. We are informed by the boatmeu that
the arrival of boats was delayed at least twelve
hours by the sand bars that had washed iuto
the canal, just below the break, and were lett
there through the negligence Of the officials,
AID had to DE dredged out after the water mad
been let IN aud the cana! was full.
However the difficulties have for the pres

has been resumed with unwonted activity, aud
it is hoped that nothing further will occur &c
prevent prosperous and lucrative business tol
the rest of the season.

In the Second Chancery Court Mary
Ann Roberts filed bill for divorce
against Elisha Roberts. The bill states
that the parties were married in this city
in 1868. The defendant has abandoned
his family, and has on many occasions
inhumanly beat the complainant so as
to endanger her life. Not long since,
on a Sabbath day, defendant choked
and kicked complainant and threatened
to kill her. Complainant prays for a
divorce, for the possession of her young
est child aud for the possession Of her
real and personal property, which said
Roberts wrongfnlly withholds from her.
Ii will be remembered that several years
ago Elisha Roberts was indicted, found
guilty and sentenced to the penitentiary
in the Circuit Court for the crime OF
arson, for the purpose Of collecting in
surance. The Supreme Court reversed
the sentence of the Circuit Court and
Roberts escaped punishment. He is the
brother of Vaa Roberts, who a few
years since obtained such notoriety on
account of the murder of Addie Jones,
the unfortunate woman who was found
dead on the gallery of Mares saloon, a
bullet having been shot through her
heart.

towards their camp. The Pawnee war.
riors started for the buIlaloes, leaving a
few squaws. Tho Sioux succeeded in
killing about fifty squaws before the
return Of the warriors, and desperate
eight commenced. The pAwnees, stung
to frenzy by the death OF the squaws,
fought like demons, but being greatly at
disadvantage In numbers and arms were
soon compelled to retreat. They fled to
the river and crossed. The Sioux gave
up the chase, The Sioux numbered
about $50, and the Pawnees only about
800 The Pawnses lost the robes and
meat Of 800 buaaloes. They also lost
about one hundred warriors aud one
hundred prisoners. The Sioux lost 30
warriors.

TAKING EDUCATION.

The Board Of Aldermen has adopted
a majority report in favor OF taxing ST.
Brideets Church Parish School, an edn
eational Institution which is attended by
over four hundred children. The State
Constitution for 1870 provides in Article
2 Section %, that the Legislature may
exempt such property as is held Tor pnr'
poses purely religious, charitable se'en'
tifc. literary or educational, and the
Legislature on the 25th of March, 1873,
passed an act providing for the exempt
ing Of such property from taxes " pro-
yided the property so exempted shall not
exceed in value $4,000. ltseems clear
,ba, under these constitutional and
legislative provisions the city has no
legal right to levy a tax on such
property as lie above designated
To do 80 is a wrong even against pub
lie policy. Crime is the legitimate re-
sult of ignorance. The educated classes
are our best and most law-abiding eiti-
zens Take up the criminal record OF
Memphis, and you will find that the
criminals invariably come under the
schedule of illiteracy and ignorance.
Education is the only system in exist
ence which squarely meets crime at its
threshold and drives it back abashed
and defeated. Religion has not so sue
eeeded because the criminal classes
never attend church. Education saps
crime; it strikes it in the early age OF
youth, and leads the youthful mind from
out the realms of darkness into light.
Did no constitutional or legislative ex'
emption exist, public policy would de-
mand that school property should
be exempt from taxes, because to
tax schools is indirectly aiding and
developing crime in our midst. When
privilege tax is collected from gambling
and bawdy houses, it is directly aiding
crime and violation of the laws which
demand that such institutions be sup
pressed. But here is constitutional
and legislative provision which tends to
support morality and suppress crime,
and yet it has found opponents. 1t OF
course matters not to what denomina-
ton an educational institution belongs,
the principle involved being the same
and applicable to all educational insti'
tutions not exceeding in value $4,000.
The intelligence of other States of this
Union fosters and sustains education.
Even the General Government has
adopted a generous policy toward edu-
eating the colored people. In our local
column will be found an interesting and
able legal opinion by Colonel George
CAN'T, which opinion is so logical that
all doubts as to the legality of exemp-
ton seem removed. Do not tax educa-
ton, but tax crime out Of existence if it
cannot be eradicated ia any other man
