Animal Report of Mnler-Oeneral Hallerk,
Ctumandcr f the Military Division of the
Heath.
The annual report of General Ilallcck, as
Commander of the Military Division of the
fcoutli, will accompany the report of Oeneral
Belkt-ap, Secretary of War. The report is dated
October 24, and, after giving the limits of the
division and the troops therein, states that
Georgia on the 4th of January last was remanded
to the condition of a military district, and Oene
ral Terry was placed in command.
As he was specially instructed from the War
Department aud by the President, General Hal
leck did not deem himself authorized to inter
fere with General Terry, and he says his
administration of civil affairs has in no way
been subject to his directions.
lie says, iu regard to Texas, that, with the
exception of the Indian troubles, the State has
teen remarkably quiet and prosperous. He says
the discipline of the troops during the year
bas been excellent, and that their supplies were
satisfactory except clothing, which is almost
universally complained of. On the important
question regarding the relation between the
civil authorities and the military, General Hal
leek sars:
It will be seen by the reports of the Depart
ment Commanders that but few cases had oc
curred where the military have been required to
interfere in civil matters, except to assist
revenue ollicers in the performance of their
duties. I respectfully repeat the recommenda
tion of my last annual report that military
officers should not interfere in local civil
troubles, unless when called out in the manner
prescribed by law, and that the requisition of
revenue officers should be aceeinpaniod by affi davits,
or some other proof that the case comes
within the provisions of the law authorizing or
requiring military interference. As the prac
tice now is, the revenue officer is the sole
judge of the necessity of military guards aud
escorts. Moreover, a large portion of the cost
of revenue seizures is now paid out of the mili
tary appropriations, which expense would
otherwise be deducted from the property con
demned before the products of the sale could
be divided between the Treasury and the reve
nue officer who made the seizure. Where the
United States Marshals and Assistant Marshals
call for military aid to execute the process of
the courts, there should be an order of the
court authorizing such requisitions, on the
ground that no proper civil posse comitatus
could be obtained. Such restrictions in the
use of military force in civil matters would,
iu my opinion, not only effect a large
saving in military expenditures, but
would relieve army officers from much
of the responsibility which they are now obliged
to incur in the performance of disasreeablo
duties which can hardly be said to legitimately
belong to the military service. It may be pro
per to remark in this place that I have been
actured by Federal civil ollicers that the use of
troops in executing judicial processes, aad en
forcing the revenue and other civil laws, seems
to increase rather than diminish the apparent
necessity of using such iorce. la civil mat
ters the badly-disposed become more and more
exasperated at being coerced by a force
which they think has Lccn unconstitutionally
employed against them, and the better-disposed
relax their e it oris to punisn local crimes on uio
Pica that this duty now devolves on the mili
tary only. Hence, In the case of a robbery or
a murder there is a call lor n etterai troops to
arrest and guard the crimiuaK It is, there
fore, a question well worthy ot consideration
whether the military power, in civil matters.
should not be limited to a few well-defined
cases, such as riots and insurrections, which
cannot be suppressed by local aud State autho
rities.
The report closes as follows:
Although no very important military opera
tions have transpired la the division during the
past year, the industry ana capacity or the De
partment Commanders have been severely taxed
in executing the laws of Congress and settling
apparent conflicts ot autbority between militia
aud civil officers. It is very creditable to them
to be able to sav that they have performed these
embarrassing duties in such a manner as to re
ceive the approval of their superiors, and to
give general satisfaction to the people of the
elates in their respective commands.

EDUCATION IN THE SOUTH.
The provisions for education in Delaware re
main the same as before emanclpatioa. There
is no State supervision, no Slate provision for
training teachers, no school law adequate for
keeping schools open; municipalities may tax
themselves for school purposes or not. as they
tee fit. The schools generally are of an infe
j lor ci, aid, so lar uruil uuuer tue
school law of the State, provide only for the
education bl U-e tllcs.lt U noticeably tUal
the school fund is divided amoDg the three
counties, on the basis of the population as it
was forty years ago, in 1830. Maryland has a
law for the conduct of the white schools, ex
cellent in seme of its features. The principal
of the normal school Is the nominal, bnt pow
erless, bead of the system; the county exami
ners perform, in some measure, the work of
superintendence. The Baltimore schools have
many excellencies, and provide for the educa
tion of the colored children; but in the country
ed children; but In the country

districts of the
ceptine tbe whites
provided for by private enterprise. Kentucky
provides supervision, but the Legislature last
winter, in endeavoring to curb the energetic
efforts of the Superintendent, reduced his salary,
and. instead of adopting the efficient mea
sures for white schools which be had
recommended, enacted a law very
much in accordance with the provisions of
the statutes before tbe emancipation of slaves.
SVest Virginia, after having struggled, so far
successfully, in tbe establishment of a free
school system, seems now to be contemplating
its destruction. Virginia is just puttiug a free
school system into operation, but encounters
great difficulties in the lack of means, the want
of correct information, and the lack of school
bouses and qualified school officers and teachers.
North Carolina bas been struggling for about
two years to pnt a system of free schools into
operation: the obstacles encountered have per
mitted only partial success, more having been
accomplished by the instrumentality of the
Freedmen's Bureau and the aid of the Peabody
fund, and other charities, it is believed, than by
tbe expenditures of the State. The friends of
education rather fear defeat than hope success.
In Tennetsee the school system was put into
operation and nearly 200,000 children enrolled,
but reactionary sentiments, save in tne cities ot
Nashville and Memphis, bid fair to restore tbe
Eauper schools of the days of slavery. Missouri
as a free school system fairly established.
Arkansas has secured a greater success than a
majority of the Southern States. South Caro
lina, among the States having the largest per
centage of Illiteracy, is confident of final success
in establishing free common schools. Florida
has hesitated in giving the greatest efficiency to
the system sought to be established.
Alabama now debates the question of
advancing or retreating. Mississippi is
making efficient progress in the
establishment of a system of free schools. The
Echool code ot Louisiana has encountered an
opposition so persistent and fierce that its suc
cess, outside of the city of New Orleans, has
been most unsatisfactory to its friends. Georgia
has just passed a school law and appointed a
State Commissioner, but must wait a year for
funds with which to put the system into full
operation. In Texas no school legislation has
so far succeeded, and no public officers are at
work for the organization of schools.
In the District of Columbia the white public
schools of Washington can aacomrnodate about
one-third of the white school population, and
the colored public school about one half of the
colored school population. Whatever has been
the sentiment of the people of the District in
tbe past, it is manifestly growing rapidly in
favor of free public schools, elsewhere so suc
cessful. EDUCATION AMONG TUB INDIANS.
Over the vast territorial domain of 1,619,353
square miles, already supposed to be occupied
by a population of 493.310 whites and 318,013
Indians, the National Government lias, in edu
cation as in other matters, exclusive responsl-
i y. -
A statement, revised in tne inaian uureau, is
to the effect that the first Indian appropriations
for educational purposes were made in lsuu,
Since that time $8,000,000 have been expended
for this object, and at least $500,000,000 for
Indian wars. Of the appropriations now made
for the relief and civilization of the Indians,
about one dollar in ten is for the purpose of
education. A most liberal estimate indicates
only one child in ten or eleven receiving even
the simplest rudiments of an education. The
retroeradation ot the rueoio ana otner Indians
as respects intelligence, since their territory has
been udded to ine united estates, is too suock-
lne to American ideas to be longer tolerated.
ihe But erintendent 01 ruunc cnoois in ine
Cherokee Nation, for the year ending July 15,
lb70. reports 45 schools for Cherokee children,
3 for colored children; with males and Uji
females; total, 1923 enrolled; and an average at
tendance of 1124. No Information so recent has
been received from tho other civilized nations
All have, however, their school system, officers,
teachers, and schools, and give a most abun
dant proof of what can bo accomplished under
thoroughly excellent educational management.
Exact accuracy is at present impossible, but in
cluding Alaska, our total Indian population is
estimated at 3SU,tKJ'J persons; about y.i,oooot
these ore within ages enabling them to re
ceive instruction. But 153 schools are known
to be in operation, with 194 teachers
and C204 scholars. The appropriations made at
tbe last session of congress for this purpose are
estimated at $240,418 90, of which 9100,000 is in
KiiK. aud placed under tne discretion 01 tne
Secretary ot the Interior for tbe maintenance of
industrial and other schools. 10 tbe above
amount, expenditures bv religious bodies add
tl6.o5f)t, and by tribes and individual Indians,
25.022 f2, making a total for the current year
of 29,927-88. Under treaty stipulations the
liabilities for educational purposes are estimated
at $1S5,051'56. The total liabilities for this pur
pose are given as bU$,4UU i, wnue the school
and orphans' funds held in trust by the United
States amount to 1,44 1,420 Oil, making the total
liabilities 2,104,820-71.
WHAT CONGKESS MAT DO FOR EDUCATION
1. It may do all things required for education
In the territories. 2. it may do all things re
quired for education in the District of Colum
bia. 8. It may also do all things required by
its treaties with and its obligations to tbe in
dions. 4. The National Government may also
do all that its international relations require in
regard to education. 5. The Government should
provide a national educational office and an offi
cer, and furnish him clerks and all means for
the fulfilment of the national educational obi I
cations. 6. Tbe National Government may use
either tbe public domain or the money received
from us sale for the benefit of education. 7.
The National Government may know all about
education in -the country, and may communi
cate of what it knows at tbe discretion of Con
gress and tbe Executive.
RECOMMENDATIONS.
As tbe present opportunities of the bureau are
utterly inadequate to the proper execution of
these duties, the Commissioner recommends,
first, to increase tbe clerical force of the bureau,
to enable it to extend, subdivide, and systema
tize its work, so that the correspondence,
domestic and foreign, and the collection of
statistics, may each be in charge of a person
specially fitted for the same; second, that ap
propriate quarters be furnished for making
and preserving a collection of educational
writings and materials; third, that Increased
means be furnikhed for the publication of
facts, statistics, and discussions; fourth, that
tbe educational facts necessary for the inform
tion of Congress be required by law to be
reported through this Bureau, and that all
schools among the people aided by the Govern
ment be required to make all necessary reports
called for by this Bureau; that no person be em
ployed as a teacher among the Indians who has
not a certificate of fitness, aud that no salaries
be paid such teachers until such certification
bas been received; fifth, in view of the specially
limited financial resources and the great amount
of ignorance in certain portions 01 our country,
and the immediate necessity for elementary
education to the people of those sections, and
, tbe anxieties awakened by Impending Asiatic
' iu.iuiLiuoii. that LLo but lucootj from the sale

The house, which la the property of my wife, In

Owing to private arrangements which I had the
geofl fortune to make, I can gtve yon a pretty eor-
reci account or wnat nappena nauy at me
here, so far at least as those matters are conceraed
which come under the observation of persons la the
Jtmperora sane.
Thus I can tell yon that the rumors about the pro
babMltv of an armistice have caused a great flatter
among the imperial party at the castle, which wan
not allayed until tne newa or us rejection reached
here. The vote of Paris, giving, aa It were, the
stamp of legality to tte Provisional Government,
has also caused very aopieasant reeling.
The Kranerer naa expressed ins anguish at tne
thought of a bombardment of Paris, the reconstruc
tion and beautifying of which he considers as one ef
the proudest works of his reign.
BBcirrioN or thb marshals.
A remarkable difference has been observed In the
degree of heartiness with which Nspolenn received
the three marshals on their first visit from Cassel.
Lebrxnf took bold ef the outstretched hand of tne
Emperor, and the generals standing near withdrew,
deep aisiatuiacuon in meir countenances. 10 Uk
raine he holds ont both hands and all surround the
Marshal In eacer conversation. Canrobert, at each
call he makes, is embraced by the Emperor aad
everybody welcomes him with smiles. The )5n
peror's private secretary, M. Pletri, left here to-day
on a mission, the object of which is known to no-
bodv. The Emperor nas addressed a letter or tnanks
to Klng William for having stationed hts marshals
so conveniently near htm. He Is said to have inti
mated a wIed that portions of the Imperial Unard
also be quartered in the vicinity of Cassel.

Lokdow, Dec. 1. (Special to D. C. Wharton

The BrltUh Cabinet Crlal.
The Cabinet is in extraordinary session, dis
cussing the Russian question. Granville re
mains firm, and declares that GortschakoQ's
note admits of no concession. It is reported
that the Ministry will resign and Parliament
be convened.
(Pliaelutlen of the rrlialatry TaeTltable.
Lokdon, Dec. 1. (8peclal to N. Y. Tele-
gram.) The Cabinet complications thicken
upon ns and a dissolution of the Ministry seems
inevitable. The expectation that.it would keep
together until Parliament assembled weakens
every hour, and the resignation of several of
the prominent members will probably be an
nounced before the day is over.
Granville remaiss immovable in h;s deter
mination as to the basis of a Congress, aud
Gortschakotl's note will not admit of this con
cession. Not for many years has the Govern
ment of England been in so critical a situation,
and the greatest anxiety is everywhere visible
on the faces of the governing classes.
The Times suggests an immediate summon
