An Interesting Discourse in the North
 Church Last Evening.
 Last evening Rev MT. Deforest, 8 former tutor in Yale and who is now engaged in teach ing at an academy for freedmen in Alabama, delivered very interesting address at the North church regarding this interesting work. Among the facts stated was one that there were 166, GOO colored persons of school age in Alabama, and only 54 ,0O0 of this number were in the schools, and these only eighty two days in the year. The appropriation for public schools in this State is only $1.O6 per head. Teachers are paid less than in any other State, receiving on an average only $22. 2.50 per month. Continuing, he said that only thirty out of every one hundred voters in the State could read The speaker said that education in the South was badly shat tered and needed strengthening, and the pill lar of Christian integrity needed reinforcing. The men in the South who had been regarded as voters have been plunged into political oblivion, and they are now more than dead. Those from the North who are now in the South engaged in teaching trial idea. In the speakers school they were learning the boys and girls to work, which was considered an essential part of their education. They received pay for their work and this assisted them to get an education. There is a great deal of hun gering and thirsting after knowledge among the colored people of the South, and many of them display large mental capacity. In conclusion the speaker urged the need of the seminary to which he was attached, among which the most pressing was new dormitory to meet the wants of the students. The speaker said that theological department was connected with the seminary and the graduates were laboring for the Master among their own class in the South. The voice of the patriot dead crying from many an unknown grave cries to the North telling them that their work is not yet completed. The speaker was listened to with deep inter cf 1axTt in off

The man, though native of Rotter- | dam Holland, could speak English after a fashion; having lived three years in England, | and the wife also, she being an English wo- man.

Retired Army Omcers.

CHICAGO, December 8.-The Times
Washington special says: A large batch
Of appointments came over yesterday
afternoon. but they reached the Capitol
too late to be presented to the Senate.
Il 10 understood that General Mcdowell
wal provided for In the list. General
Sherman vowed that II Ord was retired
Mcdowell should 60. II appears that
Sherman has succeeded In accomplish.
ing his VOW. Mcdowell is very rich.
He is reported as being worth upward
Of 81 900, 900. He has desired to
retain his position In the army,
aud a. no gave the President such =
handsome entertainment when the latter
was on the Pacific coast, It wss thought
that the Presidents weakness for such
men, and social obligations conferred.
would have some effect. but Sherman
proves to have been stronger. and, In.
deed, Il 10 hard to see how he could have
failed, for Mcdowell Is older than Ord.
The retirement Of Mcdowell will nstu-
rally be followed by the rest OF the army
chiefs who have so long been hanging on
over their time. .
San ANTONIO. December S.-General
Ord has vacated tho army Office and
ordered Assistant Adjutant General Vim.

the present 1t is probable that Ord will
