The War and the Patilic, Schools. It id gratifying to learn from the County Superintendent, Mr. Donthctt, that notwitb- j standing tbo war, and the consequent de rangement of borinuss, the arorage attend ance at the public erboola throughout the : county has actually increaeljl. Soon after the | breaking out of boatilitieswhen young men j and old forsook their homes and rushed to . the battle field, and when depression of busi- ! ness, increased taxation, and the various pri- j rations of tear bogan to loom up befuro the j mind, it was feared that the cause of popular education would be among the first to suffer. This idea may have boon stimulated from tho fact, that in ono or two districts of the county tho school boards had actually proposed a diminution of several months in the school year, as amcans of lessening tho burthen of taxation. This proposition was strenuously opposed by tho public and tho pros*, and it was argued thalif retrenchment was nocos sary, tho common school system should be tho very lutt rather than the first to feol its effects. Tho idea was soon abandoned ; and with the exception of a few districts in the county, whore it has been difficult to obtain male teachers, and whore a singular prejudice exists against females, the schools hare been remarkably prosperous throughout tho year. The Couuty Superintendent is nowongaged iu visUing the schools, aud thus far ho has met with the most encouraging indications. Tho average attendance in some of the city districts Exhibits an incroase of about twenty per cont. orer last year, and from the data al ready obtainod it is bolieved that tho increased attendance throughout tho county will aver age at least fifteen per cent. While it is true that it costs very little to send children to the public schools, nevertheless the increased at tendance is a pretty clear indication that no unusnal financial distress is felt amoug the masses. The abundant harvests hate contri buted more towards ibis end thau anythiug else ; but, whatever may have boon the oper ating causes, it ia ereoodiogly gratifying to know that in tho midst of a terrible civil war 1 the cause of education baa not suffered. A Soldier Shot for Insubordination A Washington letter writer says : “Quito a painful affair occurred at the camp of tho First District Regiment, on Saturday afternoon. It appears that a private named Paul Powell, of Captain Rudier’s company, ■, was placed uuder arrest fur alleged miscou- J duct. While coulined iu tho guard-bouso, ho j was very violent, and Captain Rodier wont to the prison and endeavored to quiet him, but | as soon as he entered tho placo, Powell at tacked him, and throw him down, aud com- ; rnencod boating him very roughly, when Lieut. Towers, of the same company, boaring tho noise, went iu to tho help oi the Captain. As soon as ho saw the situation of tho parties, he drew bis pistol and fired at Powell, the ball entering his left lung. In tho act of propnr ing to fire again, the pistol was accidentally discharged, tho ball taking effect in Captain Rodier’s log.Hnfllcting a very painful wound. Powell died yestorday. He was beliovod to bo from Pennsylvania. Capt. Rodier is nuw at his residence, on Bridgo street, George town, and was suffering very much yesterday from his wound.. Liout.

Houbk —Mr McKnight, from the committee on Foreign Affairs, reported a resolution, which was adopted, that all memorials, reso lutions, and documents which may be presen ted for the recognition of the independence of Liberia and Hayti be referred to that com mittee. On motion, 1,500 extra copies of the Secre tary of the TreasuryVßeport were ordered to bo printed. Mr. Bingham, of Ohio, introduced a bill to confiscate the property and slaves of persons who are in armed rebellion against the United States. Also, a joint resolution directing tho present Coart at Alexandria to retain and keep safely the property of those engaged lit, or aiding rebollioo, until further action by Congress is bad upon tho subject. Both measures were referred to the Comhiittoe on the Judiciary. On motion of Mr. Holman, of IntL, it xu resolved that the Committee on Public Lands bo instructed to report what railroad compa nies bare received donations of lands on con dition of'transporting troops and munitions of war free of charge, and whether the Gov ernment has the unqualified right of such transportation. Mr. Lovejoy, of Illinois, offered a resolu tion instructing the Committee oni Foreign Affairs to report a bill establishingtHplomatio relations botwoeu tho United States find Hayti and Liberia. Mr. Yailendigham, of Ohio, remarked, that we want do uegro ambassador. 'A. debate arising, the resolution lies over ffcr future consideration. I Mr. Blair, of Mo., offered a resolution de claring it but just to recoguile the; emiueut and patriotic services of the latd Gop. Lyon, and tendering Iho thanks of Congrfe{ts. to the bravo officers and soldiers andor his command who sustained tbu boner of the flag and achieved a vicl»-y. 4t Springfield, Missouri; and in order » the e\|ent each regiment eng jyat occasion shall bear on its colors tfx in letters of gold, and this resolution shall bo read at the head of the different regiments of the army i of the United States. I Mr. Blair said he believed that the Govern i meut had taken no notice at all of the death i of Uou. Lyon, and hence the propriety of tho 1 passage of tho resolution which nejbad eah mitted. He knew tho man well. dne never lived who oared more for his country and less for himsolf. Mr. Edwards, of N. 11., moved thaftholast part of tho resolution be stricken out. He said wo are to haro a war of long continuance, in which bravery aud skill are to be displayed, and misfortunes and death incurred. We should not, therefore, bo too lavish at the outset in establishing precedents,as tho neglect to notice similar- occurrences hereafter may result in serious embarrassments. Mr. Colfax, of lnd., trusted that tboamend-. meut would nut bo adopted. * The reading of tho rosolulions, as proposed, would have tbo effort of stimulating oar gallant'soldiers to deed- of patriotism. It could do so harm. It was duo that we should pay this tribute of re* tpect to Lyon, aud to recognize the services of those under his command. Mr. Edwards' motion wa* rejected, end the • of Mr. Blair adopted. '<■ Mu., iutioduted a bill to pun- •i.

Tho consideration of tho resolution intro duced by Mr. Landing, of N. Y., on Monday, gn announced. It condomne the order of General Halleek, relative to fugitives slaves. Mr. Stevons, of Pa., said if thejpassage of this resolution is to bave a good effect, espe cially in tho west, the sooner it was passed tho better. The allegation of Gen. Halleek, as an excuse for bis order, that the fugitivo stsvos whom ho proposos to exclude from his lines give information to the enemy, is too bald a pretence to justify him. Tho return of fugitives was initiated by Gen. McClolian, and followed by Guns. Kelley, Dix anil others. All tho cases are a disgrace to the profession of arms. If such, returps of have been mode by orders of 'the Commanding - 1 Generali, they deserve to have the epaulotts Stripped from their shoulders. If by higher authority, then God forgive them j they know not whafthey do. , Mr. Lovejoy exprossoujAi honost convic tion that such orders wore issued by the com manding' generals without any authority from the President. Ho was satisfied of this foot: 1 while tho President does not remove and cash ier them, os he, (Mr. Lovejoy), would advise, , did he not believe they Had the power for any such shameful measures. As far as can be ascertained, tho testimony of every general in ' the fiold is, that tho slaves are true, loyal and faithful; whilo with Gen. McDowell, previons to the battle of Bull Hun, that general care- ! fully inquired of evorj - black fugitive with re gard to the movements and positions of the , onecoy, and the typography of the country. | They are tho must reliable scouts wo havo, and ho thought it most shameful, mean and contemptiblo for the mqjor-generals of tho army to slander & ruco already sufficiently dis graced. Mr. Blair, of, Mu., said that Mr. Stevens had evidently misunderstood Gen. Uallock’s order. The lattor had Informed him that ho had no Idea of doing anything contrary to the law of tbo last Congress, and the policy of the Government. Mr. Blair said, for tho benefit of the House and tho country, that he positively knew that Gon. Halleek gavo an ordor to discharge fugitives from the prison in St. Louis, on his (Mr; Blair’s) application. Mr. Lovojoy repeated that elavea had been actually delivered up undor Gen. Halleek ‘3 ordor. Mr. Blair stated that he called on General Halleek the day after the ordor was issued, and informed him that it was liable to be misunderstood. ‘ Gon. Halleek said be had no idea of contravening the law of Congress and the policy of. the administration ; his simple object was to exclude from his camp such per sons as eoutd convey information to the eno my. The General added that at Cairo slaves came into bis camp to sell fruit, but, returning to Kentucky and the southern part of Mis souri, they fell into tbo bands of tho enemy who obtained information from them. Mr. Ponke said that the officers regarded Gen. Matlock's orders as most wiso and salu tary. Tho allusion by his colloaguo, Mr. Lovejoy; to the fidelity of these slavos, was untrue. Tho army was misled on the 7th of November by slaves! His own regiment was thus led into an ambuscade.. Let the resoitt lion.pass, and rocruitiugin Illinois will ceoso. The anny will stand by the ordor of General Halleek. If his colleaguo would pay loss at tention to the negro, and more to the inter ests of the country, ho would got along much better. (This • last remark was received with applause, which the Spoakor promptly' check ed.) Mr. Blair, resuming, saidtha* Gon. Halleek informed him that be intended to use the slaves, iff. he, could, to tho advantage of the government; and If it would weakon the enemy: he .would take their slaves from thorn: but hedid hot intend that suobporeons should oOme into tbo lines of bis camp. Mr. Villandigbam, or Ohio, moved to lay the pending resolution on tho table. Agreed Yeas 7d, nayoftt. The resolution heretofore introduced .look ing to a recognition of the independence of Hayti and Liberia, coming up, Mr.-Cox, of Ohio; offered as an amendment, that the com mittee) on Foreign Affairs inquire into the ex pediency of doing so, instead of direct in structions to report a bill for that purpose. Ho said, instead of bringing up so frequently tho pestiferous'negro, the, country expect*. Congress to giro a little timo to more impor tant subjects.... ?: Tho amendment was agreed to, and the resolution adopted:. Mr—VaUiadigbam called attention to tho fact thata solectcommittee was appointed at the former Congress to consider the subject of the bill for tho abolition of the franking 'privi lego.
