BALTIMORIZ, January 22 —At a meeting
of the Board of Trustees of the Peabody
mid to-day Sauatiet Watson, of Teneessee,
was unanimously elected to till the vacancy
caused by the death of Wm. C. Rives, of
Virgtula.
Tue report of. Dr. Sears says that since
his last; report special attention hug been
given to estern Virginia, Arkansas and
'Western Tennessee. In 'tVest Virginia
during the past year three hundred school
houses were 'erected and one Ntirtuall school
opened. while a second is waiting only fur
funds sufficient io pay salaries of teachers.
The State Superintendent appear's well
qualitied for his ditties, and the County Su
perintendents whom Or. Sears saw are- self
sacrificing and efficient. Everything,
sys
in
fact, appears promising, although the
tern still iu its infancy. It appears
that foe every thousand dollars given
from :the Peabody Fund $3,000 were
raised Iby the people, besides what they
paid for iittaiol houses. :In Arkansas deep,
interest is felt on the subject of education.
The whole State is divided into school dis
, Viet& I There is a State Superintendent
- elected by the people for four years, as well
as ten circuit superintendents, appointed
by the Governor for four years, and also a
trustee in each district, elected' annually
by the people. A tax of one dollar is paid
by every luhabitant over the age of twenty
one. At Pine Bluff a proposition was made
to give OW from the fond. if the people
would raise $3,000. At Little Itock, whore
there aro fifteen hundred white_ and 'one
thousand colored caildren, arrangements
Acute made for large primary' schools to
each 'ward and for a high school to accom
modate four hundred to -the hundred ad
vanced pupils. The Peabody Fund contri
butiOn was $2,000. - Similar propositions
were made to the towns of :Fort Smith,
Vanburen, Jacksonport, Camden, Wash
ingten, Fayetteville, Helena and four
or five smaller towns which, for the
most part, have been accepted. Ten
nessee has a school law, but not so
perfect as West 'Virginia or 'Arkansai
The sub-district system is its worst feature,
introducing nothing but cenfusion and dis
order. Unfortunately, also, the school
fund has been pledged as security for State
debts, and until recently no distribution
has been intuit) to *shoots, and thou only
small amounts. The school law, although
of nearly , two years standing, is just begin-
thug to take effect,- A year, ago there were
few or no schools. Now there are in sever.'
al counties an average of 'about fifty schools.
Knoxville city has now a complete system
of graded schools, for the support of which
$9,000 are paid from its treasury and $2,000
front the Peabody Fund. The attentlauce is
,hearly equal to that of tglie whole county
last' year. The public - schools of Chaitat
nooga, calltd into existence by an offer of
SLOUO from the general amount, -are also
highly prosperous. Memphis has been
similarly aided and is now erecting a line
large building to bear the name of Peabody.
Four of the center districts of Tennessee
have received various amounts: front $3OO
to $l,OOO. Similar arrangements have been
effected in other States. Perhaps no city
has, made a nobler advance than Peters
burg,. Virginia.Louisiam hrotigh the

[Correspondence of rittgLurghi ( iazette .]
NEW Baienro-5, Jan, 22, 1869.
The churches of this- place have bean
more than usually active since the holi
days. The week of prayer was observed.
by nearly all or thern, and it proved . an in
teresting week. How appropriate that the
Christian world-should engage in prayer t*
Almighty God at. the same time and for the
these blessings. We have had service
the churches frequently, and in sorno,of
them daily ever since. There is qonsiderto
ille interest, though not as general as is de
sired.
We have here, as well as elsewhere, the
several classes-that generally compose the
community, to wit : the earnest Christian,
theluke warm professor, the so-called moral
worldling, and the recttlessl, miserable sin
ner, who glories in his shame.. Semeof
this latter class are in the habit of going to
two or three churches ha one eveningi, and
thus by going in and. out during service
and loitering. id the vestibules constitute
themselves a public nuisance. •
'As to literary entertainments; such as _
lectures, eta., the people here fare about as.
well as t.hoSe in the cities. We have had.
four lectures this week. One ikflond wpm ght
