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. Towers is exonerated
I from all blame in tho affair.

IXXVIITH CONGRESS-FIRST SESSION.
WaaHtxoTo.v City, Dee. 11.
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

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
