available and at the same time supply all,
providing directors proportionately perform
• their duty.
• The next point to be ‘Considered is the best
means by which the object proposed can be
effected. here is where the skill of the Su
periatendeneis most heavily:taxed, In devil,-
ing,.means by which he can determine the
nature and extent of the applicant's qualift-
I cations, and compare the examination of the
timid and embarrassed with that of him who
has the happy faculty. of telling all he knows
..and often more. To reach this we have two
methods—the oral. and written— each - of
which haa its advantages and diaadvantages. -
Circumstances must: in a large measure, gov
ern the use of either. . : Li:some' districts we
have not the black.board surface; , in others
the classes are large and the time limited.--
Since the law requires that stoplicants must
be examined in the . presenoe of directors,
it is obvious that an entirely written_ exami
nation would present no attractions to direct
. ors and others who are present to estimate
the proficiency of those whom they wish to
employ ; and nothing wculd be more. dull
for theiri, than to watch - the applicants as
they proceed with their written work, the
silence only being broken by 'the scratching
of pentfon the paper, or the clicking of pen
cils on the elate. - A. written examination,
however, - would be more satisfactory,. be
cause all applicants there'share the same ad
vantages, and consequently the result would
bell fairer exhibition of their literary attain
men Li; but - many of , them require so much
time to write out their answers, that two or
three days would be required for an ordinary
class. - Directors would tree- interest—they
would not examine the papers, and if they_
did, many of them would understand but lit
tle of the wor k , , which, if orally expressed,
would enable them and the examiner to fcirm
a better estimate of the applicant's tact for
Imparting his knowledge to others. The
written examination also enables us to test
his penmanship, correctness of spelling, punc
tuation, use of capitals, cte., while the oral
examination shows his ability to. Illustrate
and explain—his manner of expression, and
his skill and readiness in unraveling abstruse
points. Its disadvantages consist mainly in the
embarrassing posidon timid . applicants are
placed; but the kindness and'affability of the
Superintendent will, in a measure, remove
this. In order, therefore, to economize time,_
and ase the advantages of each, I combine
the two methods and select the questions and
problems, so that every applicant passes over
the same ground with different work. The
failure then of one to perform all his work,
will not warrant the assertion that he could
have done that of his neighbor.
Many of those preparing themselves for
teachers, have an erroneous opinion of the
object of these examinations; They suppose
the mission of the Superintendent is to puz
zle them with some unheard of place in -ge
ography, some, abstruse problem In arithme
tic, or some unsettled point in- gramthar.—
This is wrong. Oar object is merely to get
your general knowledge of the branchea -to
be taught, by presenting something in a top
ical way, which requires analysis and
thought ; and the greater the degree of con
ciseness and clearness, the more satisfactory
the result: 'lt is not so much now you do it
as WHY you do so and so, that tests your
knowledge of the subject and your ability to
teach it.
The law does not provide for private exam
inations, but plainly re&ds, thit all applicants
must be examined 'in - the presence of the
Board of Directors, etc." I will, therefore,
examine none privately during the public ex
aminations, and only afterward upon a writ
ten request from the School Board, slgrled by
the Secretary, as required by the decision of
the State Supt., found in the school law, page
139, decision 301.. Co. Sum

To AR. J. A. M. PASSMORE,. SECRETARY OF
COMMITTEi, OF PENNSYLVANIA BRANCH OF
A3IF.RICAIt FREEDMEN'S IINION•COMMISSION.
SIR: —As the time has come when it is ne
cessary for me again to write you of the con
dition of oar school, I will -begin by saying
that we have had no reason - to change our
minds with regard to the ability of the color
ed children to learn.
The number attending school at present is
more than one hundred, and the daily average
attendance is sixty-eight. The progress of
those who attend regularly Is quite satisfac
tory, but several of the larger scholars can
only come a day now and then, when the
weather is such that they cannot work in the
fields ; so that cotton and corn Interfere very
. materially with our work in the school-room.
I have one pupil twentpthree years 014,
whose home Is in Kentucky. - She came to
Murfreesboro last winter to visit her sister,
intending-to remain three _weeks;" but she
commenced going to school,' and being very
anxious to learn, has:prolonged her stay till
the present.
One day she asked if the word taught ought
-not to be used instead of teached. After tell
ing her that leached should not be used at
all, and upon inquiring why she wished to
know, she replied, " When . 1 go home my'
friends will ask me where and how I learned
so
_much, and I thought it would be better to
say you taught me than teached me."
At another time while explaining, a word_
in the reading lesson, one boy said, "We
never knew anything about such words when
we were slaves." Well, Ned, I replied, now
that you are free, you ought to feel thankful
thatyou have - the opportunity of going to
school, and should improve your time, and
learn all you possibly can. 0 ! said he, " I
think I am getting on very well,- or I would
not be reading in Second Reader."
Sometimes he says he wants - to go home
with us, and asks if we ever have any warm
weather there. '
A few weeks ago the colored schools here
and some from Nashville, held . a celebration
in a grove near the. Cemetery. Our school
looked forward with fond anticipations to the
day, and one little girl said to me as I passed
by her seat, "mother says' what ribbon must
I wear to morrow:" The day was pleasant,
and more than three thousand persons were
present, and, .they seemed to feel that they
were having a grand'time. Befere 5 o'clock,
nearly all had left the grounds, without a dis
turbance of any kind having °pawed during
the entire day.
The Saturday previous, we visited Stone
River • battle ground and Cemetery. The
Cemetery presents a neat appearance. Flve
thousand Union soldiera are interred within
its limita. All the graveaare nicely 'Sodded
and made the same size, so that the head
boards are in a straight line from one street•
to another: • A large number of them
.are
marked "unknown." • - -
A great many of the trees on , the battle
ground were pierced' with balls, and' some
had their tops cut off. Thera were no balls
however, to be found in them when we-were
there, as persons who had visited the spot
before i ns, had see:tired them: I forgot to
mention that the, Cemetery is three Mlles
from Murfreesboro.:..:: .
.
The pikes leading from the city are In a
good condition, 'but-as there are very few
treat, walking. albng them Is by no means
pletutant in warm weather, and so we, have
been compelled to discontinue our long walks
on Saturday. - - -
Several weeks ago, as we were walking out
on the Salem pike, we saw some cabins a
short distance from the road, and concluded
we would go to them and inquire if any- of
our scholars lived there. A: colored woman
was sweeping before the door of one of these,
and upon our' remarking to- her' that we
thought she had a very nice garden, she re
plie Of yes, we want to be a • little like
"folks." -
• A lady who luta resided in the South, for
fifteen years, said a few days ago, that the
improvement of the colored people, especial
ly in-morals, was far greater than She had
evsdhopedlor. -•-
' The schools will close In two weeks, and
we are 'Row anxiously awaiting the arrival of
our transportation papers.. Some of the teach
ers have already learned that they are to go
by way of Chattanooga and Washington, and
we are hoping thut we can go the same route,
as we wish very much to . : visit Lookout

ECDOTES OF AILRAELAM LINCOLN'.
Mr. F. B. - Carpenter is writing a series of
papers for the New York Independent, em
bodying inctdents and anecdotes of Mr. Lid- ”
coin. width have heretofere, never been made
public. The tenth paper narrates the following
facta which we are sore, will be read with
great Interest:... ..
.Lying before me upon my study-table is a
plain brown leather-bound book, - bearing the
marks both of age and use. The title-page,
in old-fashioned letter. contain Mit words,.
"ME WORKS OF LORD BYRON.
Philadelphia: Griggs it Elliott..
-1833."• -
Upon the fly4earis written in ink, • •
"A. LINCOLN.
Presented by his friend, N. W. Edwards."
This is In Mr. Lincoln's hand-writtog. Up
on the page facing-this are two columns of
figures in pencil, which look like election re
turns, with their footing carefully computed '
—also. in Mr. Lincoln's band. Under-neath
there is an inscription by the Hon. Wm. H.
Herdon; of Springfield, 111, who requests, in
characteristic phrase, that "this book" may
be kept In the possession of the friend to
whom he dedicates it, "for the roamEa of
books."
A letter • accompanied - the " gift, in which •
Mr. Herndon states that "this book was given
to Mr. Lincoln by his brother-in law, N. W.
Edwards, in 1839 or 40 ;" that "Mr. Lincoln.
read it - year in and year out, till Shakespeare -
and Euclid swallowed up all other books." .
Several Other old volumes accompanied its
presentation by Me. Lincoln to Mr. Herndon
—"Goldsmith, Locke, Gibbon," in strange
company with "Patent Office Reports," Con-.
gressional Globes," etc., etc._
A new phase in Mr. Lincoln's character
has lately been opened ,in the revelation of
his early attachment to a young lady of New
Salem, whose death soon after their engage
ment threw him into' profound melancholy,
changing the whole course of his after life.
The "Byron" before me came into his hands •
within a few years.of this event. It bears no
marks of pen or pencil other than those de--
scribed ; but upon turning Its pages the curi
ous observer is arrested by one folded leaf—
one only, - in all the book. 'The page is dis
colored, and the fold of the leaf seems as old
as the book itself—lt is , firmly, solidly-pressed
together like a :withered flower. The eye
runs down the page, and is stopped by Two ,
valise, entitled •
"WRITTEN AT ATHENS, JANUARY, 16th, 1810.,
"The spell is broke, the charm is flown,
Thus is it with life's fitful fever ;
We madly smile when we should groan,
Delirium is our best deceiver.
- "Each lucid interval of thought
Recalls the woes of Nature's charter,
And be that acts as wise men ought
But lives, as saints have died,- a martyr." -
_Were these lines to "Abraham Lincoln, in
1839, simply co-incident with his thought at
this period of his life, or were they a PROPH
ECY?
In May or Jane, 1862, a delegation of what _
are known in Pennsylvania as "Progressive
Friends" visited Mr. Lincoln, among many
others, to urge upon him decisive action upon_
the slavery question. The deleghtion - was
Composed of both men and woman. In an
address delivered upon this occasion Mr. Lin
coln was likened to Deborah, the deliverer of
Israel; and a quotation was made. from his
Springfield speech in his campaign with Doug
lass, with the intimation that he was expect
ed to stand- by his anti-slavery principles.
- The conclusion of -the address weft followed
by a moment'ssilence. It was evident Mr.
Lideoln was somewhat annoyed. Various del
egations and many imi ivid nel s had visited him,
urging action in the same direction. He re
sponded in effect that be thought he appreci
ated-to some extent both the position and the .
difficulties which 'surrounded him He re
ferred to his Springfield speech, correcting
what he thought an unwarrantable inference
from it and concluded in nearly these words
"It may be, as you have said, that, like 'De
borah,' I have been selected by the Almighty
for thisgreat work of Ethancipation. In the ,
event of this being so. it seems to me"l can
safely be LEFT in the Lord's hands." -
The-day after the issue of the Emancipa
tion Proclamation Senator Wade-called upon
the President to - congratulate him. He
was - met, by Mr. Lincoln, asking if he re- _
membered the fable illustration of "the at
tempt to wash the hlackamoor wirrns," and
the result—the death of the ni.Acit. "And,"
continued Mr. Lincoln, fear in this case
I,that between the North and the South the
chances are that the poor NEORO will get
SCRUBBED to DEATH "
At the time of the first raid of Lee's army
into Maryland and Pennsylvania, much alarm
was felt in Philadelphia, lees that city might ,
felt into their hands. A gentleman on his
way to Washington, witnessing the excite
ment in Philadelphia, expected to find Wash- .
ington also in a ferment. -On the contrary,
the Capital was m quiet as though "raids"
were unknown, Reporting the alarm felt in
Philadelphia to Mr Lincoln, the gentleman .
expressed his surprise at the absence of ex . - -
citement in Washington.
"When I was studying law," Mr. Lincoln
replied, half abstracedly, "I boarded with a
Mr.—; One night I went to bed as usual,
and was awakened in the middle of the night
by my landlord who stood by the side of my
- bed, with, nothing on but his shirt, trembling
with fright. 'Lincoln,' said he, 'getup !
The world is coming to an end!' I jumped
out of bed, and ran to a window. And sure
enough, it seemed as though the man was
right; all the stars in heaven appeared to bo
-falling. I looked on for some time expecting
:os. crash ; but none came. Finally, I thought" •
1. would look for my familiar constellations—
the 'Hen and Chickens,' the 'Sow and Pigiv.'
and 'Ellen Carter.' They were in their old
places, shining - as - serenely as though shoot- `
ing stars bad never been heard of. I watch- .
ed themawhilei and seeing them firm and
steady as, ever, I made np my, mind that it
was . notgoing to be much of a !MOWER after
all; sci I went to bed again. And I think -
this raid will turnout moth the same way." •
The enlistment of negroes in the Eastern
Department of the Army commenced under _
Gen., Schenck's command, in Maryland, and
contemplated - at first the enlistment only of . _
the - free blacks. Much trouble was occa
sioned, however, from-the fact that it was of-- -
ten impossible to tell` - her the "recruits"
presenting themselves 'Were rake; or not ;
masters frequently coming :forward and
claiming parties whci had enlisted. Gen.
Schenck, at length,. went to. Washington to.
ascertain what policy the Administration pro- ,
'posed to pursue in the matter. He stated his '
case to the Piesident, explaining his diffient
, ties, and asked for instructions. Mr. Lincoln
replied-that he had.no special instructions to
give; the condition of things at that juncture
was such that it seemd best to have no deff
nite policy on the subject. Commanders of -
the departments must act according to their ,
best judgment. "Yon see, Schenck;" con- .
tinned Mr. Lincoln, "we are like.ati old ee
-1 quail:dance of mine who settled on a piece of
' 'GALLED' prairie. It was a terribly rough
place to clear upi but after 'a while he got-a
few things growing—here and there a patch
of corn, a few hills of beans, and so on. One
day a stranger stopped to look at this . place;
and wanted to know, how he managed to cid
tivate-so rough a spot. 'Well;' was the re- _
ply, 'some 01' it's pretty tough. The timelier
stumps we can generally sour out or Bunn out;
but now and then - there is an old settler that -
bothers me, and there is no other way but to -
Prow AROUND Now, Schenck," Mr; Lin
coin concluded, "at ouch a-time as this.
troublesome cases are constantly coming up,
and the only way to get along at all is to eLow
AROUND them."
Mr. Lincoln's Way of looking at questions
of public policy,. as contrasted - .with • that
phase of sti4esmanship which regards "ex- .
pecliency" chiefly,-if not only, is well illus
trated by a conversation which occurred with
a distinguished member of Congress, about
the time of.the attempt on the part of the Se- .
nate to have Mr. Seward. removed tram the
Cabinet, in 1862 or 1863,
"C--,"said Mn Lincoln, on day, "some
of your associates at -the Capitol are afraid.
Seward baa too much influence with me; are - -
they'not?"
"To be frank, - Mr. President," was there_
Ply, "there is a decided feeling that way since
Mr. Seward's conservative tendencies have
developed." - .
"Nose. C " sit sit down here, and I will ,
just tell you how that is,',' resumed Mr. Lin- '
colm "Don't you know that, for a goal
many reasons, Seward - es Secretary of
State IS Invaluable to me ? If I wish to know
anything on any subject—questions of law.;
precedents ; history.; what has been done,
When, andby Whom; what other govern
ments have sanctioned or maintained ;in _ •
short; if I am at a loss upon any subject what
