THE AMERICAN UNION Commisstort.—A
very interesting meeting was held on Sunday
night, at Broad and Green streets, on behalf
of this excellent Commission. Addresses
were delivered by Mr. Joseph Parker, Sec
retary of the Commission, by Rev. J. S.
Crowell, Rev. PoindexterS. Henson and M.
J. Mitcheson, Esq., and a collection taken
. up to aid the enterprise. The object of the
Cominission is to relieve the immediate dis
tress of people at the South, without distinc

Much misery has been relieved,. but a great
deal more could be done. We commend the
Commission to the favorable regard of our
_readers.

man Lutz this morning John Murray and
Thomas Landy were charged with having
committed a violent assault and battery on
Peter Lamon, the stable boss at the Thir
teenth and Fifteenth Streets Railway depot,
Broad and Carpenter streets. It is alleged
that they attacked Mr. Lamon with a bar
-of iron. A blow was aimed at his head but
he dodged it and was struck upon the arm.
Lamon was chased through a house, over
a fence and into the stable, where a couple
policemen interfered and arrested his par
-suers. The accused were sent below. Mur
ray was formerly a driver in the employ of
the railway company, and charges that La
mon had him discharged.
ASSAULT WITH A KNIFE.—This morning,
about eight o'clock, a man named Turner,

below Juniper, got into a difficulty with T.

alleged to have drawn a knife and inflicted
two cuts on Crossin—one above and the
other below the eye. It is supposed that
Crossin will lose the sight of the eye. He

-eluding the directors of the Southern Steam
ship Company, assembled on the deck of

Godbon and was placed under $5OO bail.
ATTEMPTED ROBBERY.—A young man of
rather genteel appearance was arrested last
evening by officer Williamson in the
Methodist Church, on Eighth street, above
Race, having broken in through a side
window. The prisoner gave the name of
Wm. Thomas. He said that he had no
place to stay and had been told to go into
the church as there was a good fire in the
room. It is believed, however, that he in
tended to commit a robbery., He was held
in $1,500 bail for a further hearing by Alder
man Jones.

Colored Schools in Mississippi.
The Mississippi Standard, printed at Jack
son, is now published daily. We notice that
it very sensibly urges the education of the
colored children; though it is a little amus
ing to find one of the Standard's arguments
for colored education to be, that if Southern
men do not attend to this good work "the
Yankees" will. The Meridian Messenger,
another Mississippi paper says:
"We must divest ourselves of the false no
tion that it is disreputable for a white man
to teach a negro school. The moral sense of
the world is opposed to such a prejudice,
and in the end we shall fail to sustain our
selves in it. It results from the late
system of slavery, which doomed the
negro to ignorance of letters, and
even the commonest branches of educa
tion, that there are, as yet, but few of their
own race competent to teach. They must
be taught by whites now, or not at all. Af
ter a while it will be different. There will
be blacks enough competent to teach their
own color, and it is probable they will do
it. Southern white men who engage in the
occupation of teaching negroes should be
encouraged rather than discountenanced, for
the obvious reason that a Southern teacher
would instill into the young Southern ideas
of the relative - social relations, rights and
duties of the races. Notv we can think of
nothing so well calculated to make the two
races live side by side pleasantly and com
fortably, as for Southern teachers to take
hold of the negro schools at once. En
tertaining these views, it is with regret
that we hear that some Southern
teachers who have attempted it have met
with contempt, persecution and even vio
lence. In our deliberate judgment this is
all wrong. In a neighboring county a
Southern man was put under arrest, as pre
sented to us, in a spirit of persecution, on
account of teaching. We will not say that
the crime alleged against him is of a frivo
lous nature, but it is probable that the least
said the better. At all events, we respect
fully suggest that unless the man's morals
be decidedly too bad to be tolerated, he be
permitted to go on with his school, which
otherwise will probably be taught by a
Yankee, who could not well fail to teach the
young a lesson of hate every day for
Southern people. After a while those who
are wrong upon this subject will
us." right,
and then all will be right with us.
By-and-by it will become possible in Mis
sissippi, we suppose, to advocate a right
cause without abusing "Yankees;" but
meantime the "Yankees"_ can well afford
to be used as bugaboos.
The Malden Murderer.
[From the Boston Herald of yesterday.]
Edward W. Green, the Malden murderer,
has been confined in East Cambridge jail
for, twenty-six months, up to yesterday. He
spent his last Sunday upon earth yesterday,
and as the time draws near for his execu
tion, he feels deeply the situation in which
he is placed. Green was born in Malden,
October 16th, 1837, and. consequently will be
29 years old in October next. He is only 5
feet inches in height, very light weight,
and, in fact, may be called quite dwarhsh.
He has no parents living, with theexception
of a stepmother. High Sheriff. Charles
Kimball, assisted by-Captain. Adams, the
keeper of the jail, and Mr. Wade, the
turnkey, are making all necessary
preparations to have the execution carried
out with'uietness and solemnity. A new
rope has been manufactured by a cordage
company in Boston expressly for the occa
sion. The Sheriff is overrun with applica
tions from all classes in the commit:tit, for
passes to witness the execution, and a Urge
number will be disappointed. No doubt
many will visit East Cambridge in hopes of
seeing the execution from the outside of the
jail yard. That they may not be diemp.
pointed, we may as well inform them that
the gallows will be so situated that no
view of it can be had from the outaidei

THE ARCH.—A. genuine, hearty tribute to
genius is always graceful and should be
grateful to the feelings of him who is thus
honored. We are reminded of this in view
of the unparalelled magnificence of the
audience which collected to enjoy Mr. J. E.
Murdoch's Hamlet last evening at Mrs.
John Drew's theatre, Neither seat nor
standing room could be obtained at the up
rolling of the curtain, and throughout the
evening the attention of the house was fixed
closely upon the stage. Mr. Murdoch's
personation of the Prince of Denmark was
as graceful as ever, and his reading was
truly exquisite. He was most ably sup
ported by Mr. Tilton as the Ghost, Mr. Wa
llis as the King, Mr. Mackay as Polonius
(he making the part far less of a burlesque
than actors generally), Mr. James as Ho
ratio, Mr. Rankin as Laertes, Mr. Robson
as the First Grave-digger, Mr. Fitzgerald
as First Actor (the "Hecuba" speech being
very ably read by him), Miss Price as,
Ophelia and Mrs. Worrell as the Queen.
This evening Mr. Murdoch appears in his
famous part of Evelyn, in "Money," sup
ported by the full strength of the company.

THE OATH of OFFICE,—The message of
the President, inclosing communications
from the Secretary of the Treasury and the
Postmaster General, suggesting a modifica
tion of the oath of office, has been printed.
A synopsis of these documents was given in
a former despatch, but the following extract
/may be interestingi
The Secretary says, "In regard to future
appointments, I have to say that I am well
satisfied that it will be difficult, if not im
possible, to find competent men at the South
to fill the revenue offices, who can qualify
under the statute. Especially will it be so
in regard to the subordinate positions. In
the progress of the rebellion very few per
sons of character and intelligence, in these
States, tailed in one way or the other to par
ticipate in the hostilities, or to connect
themselves with the insurgent Government.
"This is almost universally true of the
young men who are expected to fill clerk
ships and other inferior places in the reve
nue service. I deem it my duty farther to
remark that Ido not consider it advisable•
for the Government to attempt to collect
taxes in the Southern States by the hands of
strangers. After having given the subject
careful consideration, anxious as I am to in
crease the revenue, and to lighten by dis
tributing and equalizing the burdens of the
people with no party interests to promote,
and with nothing but the good of the Go
vernment at heart, I have come to the de
liberate conclusion that it would be better
for the country, politically and financially,
to suspend the collection of internalrevenue
taxes in the Southern States, excepting in
commercial cities, for months if not for
years to come, rather than to undertake to
collect them by men not identified with the
tax-payers in sympathy or interests.
LAND GRANTS TO SOUTHERN AND SOUTH`
WESTERN STATES.—The President has sent
to Congress a message, inclosing a commu
nication from the Secretary of the Interior,
with accompanying papers in reference to
grants of lauds made by acts of Congress
in the years 1850, 1853 and 1836, to the States
of Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas, Florida
and Louisiana, to aid in the construction of
railroads. As these grants will expire by
limitation on the 11th of August next,
leaving the roads for whose benefit they
were conferred in an unfinished condition,
it is recommended the time within which
they may be completed be extended for a
period of five years.
Judge Edmunds, the Com miF;sioner of the
Goners' Land Office, in his letter to the
Secretary of the Interior, urges the accom
plishment of these important works, which,
he says, cannot fail to add to the prosperity,
not only of the several States named, but of
the entire country. The letter of the
is in accrd ith e views ofe S Ceocrme
-
m y ioner. The w road h embracet h Mobile
snd Ohio, the Southern Railroad, the Gulf
'rid Mississippi Islands, the Mobile and
Ohio, the Alabama and Florida, the Pease
eola and Georgia, the New Orleans, Ope
ousas and Great Western, and other roads.
fhe estimated quantities inuring under
:here grants are over eleven million acres.
THE UNION Ruin tr Vutoms.—Bv di

ascertaining as far as possible the number
and location of all the Union dead that

intention of the Government to have all
these remains brought to the Arlington
Cemetery for interment. wherea monument
will be erected to their memory.

curred at the Reed well on Cherry run,one
