EDITOEXAIi COEE’ESPOKDENCE.
Washington, March 22,1864.
There has lately been a very interesting de
bate in the Senate, upon the bill to incorporate
a new passenger railway company. Mr. Sum
ner offered an amendment to the bill, ** that no
person shall be excluded from the oars of the
said company, on accoant of color.” This
awakened the lion from his lair, and the sha
kings of his mane were fearful to behold. The
amendment was opposed chiefly by Messrs.
Saulsbury and Johnson, with the usual coarse
ness by the former, and with the skill and can
dor of the lawyer by the latter.,
Now, there are-strange things under the sun.
Among them I have observed these, to wit: —
I have seen a lady in silks enter a car, followed
by a colored woman leading a child, or bearing
the white picaninny in her sable arms. And I
have seen the colored servant seat herself by
the grand white lady, and in the midst of other
white folk ; and 1 have not seen the white folk
object to riding with the colored servant under
snch circumstances. I have seen an equally
reputable colored woman enter the car' at the
same time, without any white baby, and forced
to go open the front platform with the driver.
The query that presented itself to my mind,
was—is one colored woman less offensive than
any other equally clean colored woman, or does
the grand mistress' sweeten the servant, so as
to make the presence perfectly innocuous ?
I have also seen, on market mornings, half-a
dozen coarse, red, dirty, rank smelling, white
women, each with a basket of fish and onions,
and other aromatics, enter the cars, and -take
their seats among decently washed white-folks,
and no man or woman objected—aloud, at'least.
And I bare seen, soon afterward, a well-dressed
colored . person enter the car, only to be driven
to the front platform. The query that presented
itself to my mind, was this: are dirty, coarse
white, fish-women, with their nauseous baskets
dripping putridity, better than clean, well
dressed colored women, or >men, without the
Billingsgate odors abont them? Or are the
people all raging fools, and blind as bats, with
this infernal prejudice against mere color ?
Now, as for personal cleanliness, the negroes
of this city, os far as the external appearance
goes, are superior to the lower classes of whites.
I conceive that it makes little difference as to
who aits by one’s ride for a dozen squares in a
street car, only so that it is not a dirty, or drun
ken person. For one, 1 never think of my next
neighbor, unless be or she offends either sight,
hearing, or smell. It is my habit to presume
that no man or woman can very well harm mo
. by riding in the same car, unless he or she be
dirty or drunk. But filth and beastliness do
not constitute a bar to favor on the street cars.
It is color, and nothing hut color.
As to negro equality, no fear of such a hap
pening ever came to afflict me. No law can
render men social equals, any more than it can
make men intellectual equals, or equals in
strength or endurance. This sort of equality is
regulated by the “ higheii law.” Whom God
makes equal, they are equal; and no human
commandment can make them unequal. How
ever, I do not so much blame some of these ob
jectors. There is danger, in their cases, that
the negro may not only become their equal, but
even their superior. There are men in.the
Senate of the United States to-day, who, lined
by the standard they themselves set up, cannot
compete with the free colored people of this
country, generally, in the matter of virtue,
common decency, and morality. - There are men
who seldom enter the Senate except in a state
of beastly intoxication ; and, thank heaven,
they enter it but seldom. Of vile and loath
gome habits, lost to shame, and deficient in that
self-respect which alone can render men and
women noble—l would sooner consort with ihe
most ignorant, if honest and sober, white or
black, than with such men. Gamblers, sots,
licentious,'—they find no pleasure in the higher
walks of life, to which a false conventionality
assigns them. Their course is down—down—
down—to the bottomless pit. But such men
are the first and fiercest in the war upon the
negro. M. H. C.
WAR NEWS.
The steamship evening Star, from.N. Orleans
on the 19 th inetant, arrived at New York on the
Sfitb, bringing confirmation of the reports re
ceived from the "West, relative to the capture of
Fort De Hussy and Alexandria, Western Louis
iana, by the farces of Goa. A. S. Smith and
Admiral Porter, Alexandria was surrendered
to the gunboats without an attempt at resist
ance. Gen. Banks was to take field in per
son within a few days, and the njfroy in Wes
tern Louisiana, was again on thd move, New
Iberia having been re-occupied by Gen. Lee’s
advance. Two of our gunboats had ascended
Grand rivet to Bute-a-Rose, where last year a
heavy engagement was fought, and destroyed a,
Rebel camp.
Our losses at the capture of Fort De Buggy,
Red river, were seven killed, twelve severely
wounded, two mortally wounded, twenty-seven
slightly wounded, and five not specified. The
Rebel loss was five killed and four wounded.—
About 1,000 men had composed the garrison of
the fort, but more than half of them hud been
withdrawn to defend Alexandria.
Guerrillas were becoming bold in the vicinity
of Baton Rogue. A cotton buyer, who had
$lO,OOO in greenbacks, was captured by the
guerrillas.'
Gov. Hahn bad called on election for dele
gates to a Constitutional Convention, to be held
on the 28th inst.
Tbs Rebel Gen. Forrest, with 2,000 men, nt

and captured the email force of Union troops
garrisoning the town. This force consisted oU
400, Tennessee cavalry, who . made a vigorous
defense, repulsing, their assailants, three-times
before they surrendered to superior numbers.—
The enemy destroyed the defences and harried
southward with their prisoners;
Gen. Forrest seems to be on the war path.— \
He fell upon the town of Padncah, Kentucky, i
on the Ohio river, fifty miles above Cairo, early )
on the morning of the 26th instant, and sacked
and fired the place. He made four attempts to
capture the fort, but was each time repulsed.
Most of the burning was done by our gunboats,
which opened upon the. city during Forrest's
operations. The Kebels soon retired. Untrust
worthy stories are told of losses, putting ours
at 12 killed and 40 wounded, and that of the
Eebels at 150 to 300 killed, including a General
Thompson.

COMMON SCHOOLS.
The time has arrived when those who are de
sirous of having profitable summer schools,
should bo making arrangements accordingly.
Allow me to urge upon Directors and teachers
the importance of commencing the. ensuing
term as early as practicable. I have before re
marked that summer Schools ate worthless, if
Fepl open after tho Fourth of July. Better to
have two months school, during May and June,
and then four months in the full and winter,
than to continue the schools in session during
July and August, with slim attendance and lit
tle or no life in either teachers or scholars.—
The spring examinations will be held early
enough to .allojw the adoption of this plan.
Some districts experience greafinconvenicnce
in getting teachers. The fault with such dis
tricts generally is, that they are so negligent
about school matters, pay such low wages, are
so far b%hind with" their taxes, have such poor
school bouses, and so little interest in schools,
that good teachers will not seek employment in
them. It is from such districts, on the plea of
its being necessary to fill the schools, that the
Superintendent is called upon to indorse or re
new the certificates of whatever teachers can
be “ picked up,” including those who f‘ did’nt
think of teaching,” or who “ did’nt hear of the
examination," as welfas those who think them
selves “ too rusty to bear much of an exami
nation, but can. teach a good school.” How
many of these “ rusty” teachers are ever really
bright? Such teachers frequently spend more
time to get their certificates renewed, than it
would take for them to come and bo examined.
Sickness or necessary absence from home,
though a valid excuse for not being present at
a regular examination, is no excuse for renew
ing a certificate ; for a teacher must he well
enough to be examined, before he or she is well
enough to engage in teaching. The object of
requiring rigid and frequent examinations, is to
gradually and surely improve the qualifications
of teachers. ' Tho practice of renewing certifi
cates, tends to defeat this desirable object.—
While the Superintendent is held responsible
for the qualifications of teachers, he ought to
be the sole judgo of what those qualifications
are, without being asked to take the' opinion of
some one else, or even his own opinion, if ex
pressed according to some former, and perhaps
lower standard. Good teachers will readily as
sent to these views. The recent State Conven
tion of county Superintendents unanimously
adopted the following:
“ Resolved, That in the judgment of.jthis
Convention, the practice of endorsing or exten
ding certificates, without re-examination, should
be entirely discontinued.”
I shall aim to carry this resolution into effect.
I offer no further assurance that certificates will
be renewed,'on application of Directors or tea
chers. Directors should not employ teachers
who have no certificates, or whose certificates
have expired ; for they are liable to lose their
State appropriation by so doing; but they should
endeavor to have a number of teachers present
on examination day, sufficient to supply all the
schools. Teac'hers who do not attend the teg
ular examination in their vicinity, will have to
forego the pleasure of teaching, or else travel
out of their way to visit mo; for I cannot go
more than once around the county Co accommo
date them.
Examinations of Teachers. —Notice was
given last fall, that as most teachers are em
ployed during both summer and winter terms,
certificates ,would be granted for a year; and
that spring examinations would be confined to
two or three central localities, to accommodate
those who did not then anticipate teaching.—
Accordingly, ezaminationa will take place as
follows:
Blockhouse, April Slat.

Examinations will commence nt precisely 9

Bin nips, as usual. Friends of education are
cordially invited to attend.

Diptheria—A Sore Core fog this Terrible
Disorder.
Please publish-the following treatment of dip
thecla. It bos been used by myself, and others
to whom I have given it, in over one thou
sand cases, without a failure. It will always
cure, if the treatment is commenced before the
diptberia membrane extends into the air tubes,
which is known by the great difficulty of brea
thing and restlessness. In such cases no rem
edy yet discovered will always effect a cure;
hut if the patient is watched, and this treat
ment used in time, there is no danger.
I sent this treatment to a friend of mine in
Wisconsin, and be used it on himself, and fam
ily, and neighbors, with such wonderful success,
that be requested mo to send it to you for pub
lication as this horrible disease is prevailing
extensively in parts of Missouri:
DIPHTERIA WASH.
Golden seal, pulverised, 1 drachm.
Borax, “ 1 “
Black pepper, “ 1 “
Alum, “ 1 "
Nitrate potash, “ 1 “
Salt, “ 2 “
Put all into a common sized teacup or vessel
which holds about four ounces, and poor'half
full of boiling water, stir wellj'and then fill full
of good vinegar. Fit for nse when it settles.
-Make a swab, by getting a little stick about the
size of a pipe stem, notch one end, and wrap a
string of cotton cloth around, it, letting the
cloth project about half an inch beyond the end
of the stick, so as not to jag the mouth and
throat, and fasten with a thread.
Swab the mouth and throat well every half
hour if the case js bad, every hour if not bad.
When the patient gets better, every two hours;
then when better, every four hours ; and when
still, better, two or three times a day, till well;
which will be from two to seven days. Touch
every affected spot, the uvula, tonsils and fau
ces, the whole of the back part of the mouth,
and top of the throat; and let the patient swal
low a little of tho wash each time you swab.—
Swabbing causes no pain, though the patient
will gag, and sometimes vomit; but swab well,
and a feeling of relief will follow every swab
bing.
Let every patient have a separate swab and
wash, os the disease is undoubtedly infectious.
Keep the wash pure, by pouring what you can
use, each time, into another vessel, ond also
wipe off any matter or slime that may be on
the swab, every time you take it from the
mouth. ( '
Bub the fallowing lininient on the throat,
outside, once every three or four hours, and
keep a flannel cloth round the neck till well:
Take spirits turpentine, once ounce.
“ sweet oil, (or linseed oil,) one ounce.
“ aqua ammonia, one ounce. Mix.
Shake before nsing each time.
Keep the bowels regular with castor oil.
Keep the patient in the bouse, but ventilate
well. Tlje diptheria wash’ and liniment will be
found sufficient for all cases, if taken in time;
and should you mistake soy other “sore throat”
fur diptheria, you will effect a cure almost inva
riably, as I use this for all common sore throats.
I have never lost a case ; and many have, told
me that no money would induce them, in these
“ diptheria times,” to bel without the wash and
liniment; and when a soreness in the throat is
felt, it is used,.and a core is always effected.

“ Font Monroe, Vj., March S, 1864.
“ The nndersigne*d, members of the * Board of Dis

tho greatest favor they can confer on their unfortunate

“1. Boxes should not exceed twelve cubic feet; or
two feet square and three feet long.
“2. They should, invariably, be stoutly and se*
curcly bound with iron hoops.
“ 3. Coffee, tea, sugar, flour, tobacco, and articles
of a like character, should be put In stout paper or

“4. All perishable articles should bo excluded, os

“5. Under no circumstances, should articlcsof a ccn

“ In making these recommendations, we would not

SMITH'S IMPROVED HOimACf
Shingle and Heading Machine.
It t cat Awarded the First Premium Silver
dal , at the New York State Agricultural
Fair, at Utica, in 1863, and at all
other Fairs where Exhibited!- •
THIS important improvement in machines for iriatf--
ufactaring shingles and heading, the inventor
has the pleasure of introducing to the public; a ma
chine which has proved itself, beyond a doubt, decu
dedly the most perfect, the best and cheapest machine,
that has ever yet been introduced. As shingles tad
heading are articles of great demand and of much im
portance, the aim and object of the inventor has been
to ge.t up a machine that would make them as near
perfect to tho best shaved, and with the greatest diat
patch, possible. With much labor and expense he has
succeeded in accomplishing bis object; which fact U
testified to by those who have the machines in use.—.
The superiority and many important advantages this
machine has over other?, are : It has no complicated
parts liable to derangement; simple in its constrac.
tion, yet strong and durable; perfectly safe and easy
in operating; does the work in a very perfect maa
ncr, equally as well ou heading of different kinds—
cutting obliquely or otherwise, as desired. The saw
running horizontal, cutting lengthwise of the bolt*
tho carriage traveling only in proportion to the width
of the shingle or beading, and are made to cut from
10 to 24 inches in length, works up the timber very
close; will,cut from 1000 to 1600 perhourof shingle?,
takes up but little room, occupying only about four
feet square, not weighing over 285 lbs.; can be driven
by any kind of ordinary power; a very compact ma
chine to ship. The cost of the machine is small com
pared with its value.
The following are a few of the many testimonial*
which can be produced:
hJiDDLBBunr, Vt,, Aug. 25,1865,-
Mr. Emerton Soiith, Bear Sir:—You wish to know
our opinion of your improved shingle and heading
machine. We have had* one of them Id use sometime;
have cut about 800,069 from various kinds of timber.
It has done the work m the’mosCsaliSfaclory manner,.
Hare lost no time nor expense on account of the ma
chine getting out of order. It is a very perfect ma
chine; easy and safe to operate. We have used dif
ferent kinda of shingle machines. Tours we must say
excels all others in every respect. We would not be
willing ia take four times the cost of the marine,,
could we not procure another of the same.
Yours truly, ABBY 4 NICHOLS,
Carristola, N. Y., Dec. 19, 1864.
Mr. B. F\ Eaton, Dear Sir:—Tbe Green Mountain
shingle and heading machine, which we purchased of
yon,*we hare tbe satisfaction of saying we are highly
pleased with. It meets the recommendations. We
consider it decidedly the best and most valuable mi*
chine that we have ever seen or used. We do not
hesitate in recommending it to any one.
Respectfully, LEWIS, ROSE & CO.
Bast MjnntEßUßr, Vt, Aug. 23, 13 W.
Emcrton Smith, Dear Sir;—Your patent shingta and
heading machine has satisfied me that it Is decidedly
the best and cheapest machine in use. It is very sim*
ply constructed, not liable to derangement, a perfectly
safe and easy machine to work. Jt will cut from 19“
to 15,000 per day; the saw ranfltg horizontal, cot'
ting lengthwise the grain, makes much mors per
fect shingles and beading than can be made by any
machine that cuts across the grain. Tour machine
must prove a great success. Yours with respect,
CHANDLER TILLOXSOS,
