of a recent visit which he paid to Camp Her-

to kla nunierous friends bare:

;The. Common Schools of the State.
The Superintendent of the Common Schoole - i
of Pennsylvania has sent in his report tO.the 1
Legislature, showing the operation of the eye- '
tem in the various counties of the State. The
whole number of schools in the State, exclud
ing the city of Philadelphia, is 11,910, in ,
eluding Philadelphia, is 12,245. The num
ber of pupils in all the schools, including
Philadelphia, is 680,295, and the cost of their
tuition is $1 1 773,666. The total cost of the
,
system, including — ichool houses, ite.', is
$2,900,501. The average length of the school
term In the schools outside of Philadelphia
county, was five months, seven and a-half
days, - and the average cost of 'each pupil
per month, fifty-nine cents, or about $3.10
for the whole term. The ineriase Of pupils in
the State Schools during the year was 11,0R6.
There is a very large difference between the
amount of school tax levied and that actually
paid - into the treasury. The last year it I
amounted to $325,272, being $50,000 telethon
the year previous, and nearly one-seventh of
the whole amount levied. It cost the large
sum of $75,000 to collect the school tax. The
receipts were $162,757 lees thin the expendi
tures. The report states that only two-thirds
-of the pupils enrolled, and which the State
has credit for educating, attend school 'regu
larly, and that the term of instruction is not
quite two thirds of the time it should be.
'The short-comings of the system are dwelt
upon strongly. The report says:
IJpon a close examination Pf the , system it. ,
self, and of its operative at tides and their
adaptedness to the work co mitted to them,_
it Anil be found that the defic enclose now pro
salted to attention are the effect neither of.
_their want of fitness nor activity. It is. ad 7;
mitted- that oar school houses with their fur
miture and apparatus for te aching, are in
complete—only. about - one-third being eutri
dent, and the other two-thirds either radi
-callynnfit• for thetr - purposes, or not yet ren
dered sufficieritthat only about one-eighth
of the schools are so graded as to incite the
pupil:to proper effort for improvement, while
all the rest are without this strong incite , '
moot, and one-seventh of them- positively'
without any classification of the pupils what
.over—that only one-tenth • of. the teachers
are, in qualificatiOrd,up to, the legal stand
ard, and nine-tenths isq below it—many of
them not even attaining the I medium : mark
between proficiency in the branches enjoined
by the law and its opposite, Mid that direo
tors and other local officers dd mot yet die
charge their important functions with that-
regularity and efficiency indispensable to
fiat success. AU this is true; but two other
remarkable • facts - are equally tine=ono ia,
that there has been great improvement in all
these agencies wittilwthe last seven years—
so great as teinriffinittedAy, every candid
observer,and‘to have even' attracted the at
tention f otherfliates; yet, the other is, that
there has beenlitieerresnonding improvement
within the nixie period, in the two results
that have just teen indicated as the true teats
of a productive educational system.
There is no escape from the conclusion to
which these facts lead us. The system has .
' now Its full working machinery, or nearly so,
and in as good working condition as the pe
riod it has been In preparation for use will
I admit of. Most of it has been in operation for
, seven years , and confessedly improving in ef
-1 ficiency all that time. Yet the people do net
appreciate the improved condition of the
schools thus affected, by providing for a long
er term of instruction, nor parents - by causing,
nor pupils by volunteering abetter attendance,
than the tables exhibited, in both cases seven
years ago.
It-is painful, and were there not the cer
tainty. of remedy by proper efforts within
reach, it would be humiliating to make these
admissions. It would be far more pleasant
and much easier to glorify our great State by
lauding her noble Common School System,
pointing out its beautiful arrangement, and
telling of the $3,000,000 it annually expands
to educate its 669,000 scholars. In the past,
this was all proper, and towards the past,
it is still but merited praise. But we have
now to do with the future and its loud and
urgent claims. When we find that only two
thirds of the - sehdlars are actually in school,
and only for two-thirds of the time—at the
lowest allowance—they should be there, we
are constrained to admit an enormous waste of
Money and of time; and; worst of all, of the
beat °ppmtrinity this immense body of yputh
will ever have for preparation to meet the
duties and responsibilities of life.
It has been shown that these failures in
result are not attributable to the system itself
and its agencies=or at least, that those agen
cies, admitted to be admirable and efficient,
have not remedied them. The causes Must,
therefore; exist elsewhere. The help must
come from beyond the system itself; it must
be drawn from every educational element and
all the elevating forces of society.

Publication of Births
-This Bucyrus, Ohio, Journal says : "We in
tend, hereafter - to add a new department to
our paper, in connection with deaths and mar
.rlages—we moan that of births, It is the
custom of New , England papers to publish
births; and we see no reason w y we should
not:do so in this ?cation of the country. There
ie .- certainly quite as much propriety in pub;
lishing the births as there is in publishing
marriages and deaths. The only trouble we
see in the way is to gather up these interest
ing items. We will make an effort, however,
to inaugurate the system, and believe that it
' Iftli.becou!s PPP/F."'
The editor then calls upon his ; friends to aid
him Ibis laudable undertaking—or, as ho
more aptly expresses it, to assist in gathering
thee?' "interesting items." Ile adds, by 'way
of caution, that every announcement must be
accompanied by a responsible name. Not.
withstanding this, we venture that before a
month be will get into trouble by announcing
a birth in some family where a cradle forms
no pert of the fainiure, and 'where maternal
affection has no higher admit than a eat or

the editor, and hope that he may surmount
every difficulty. The form which he intends

Decteaser is Crime.
the afflicts of the
among the very few Strom
war, is the rapid decresse in crime, as exhibi
ted in the returns of public magistrates
throughout the county. Take, for instance,
that expensive institution—the county jail.
It now contains but seventy-five prisoners, all
told. Of this number, only ten are Court
priieners, and fine of these have been- tried
and are under sentence. • The great, majority
are confined for vagrancy, • drunkenness, etc.
The next term of the Court of Quarter Ses
sions will doubtless be even shorter than the
last; although the lapse of time between the
two terms is much greater. Should this state
of things continue throughout the year, the
eipenses for jail fees, jurors, witnesses, tip
staves, etc., will be very light.
It is also worthy of note that more than one
half the inmates of the county jail are females.
Before the war, the jail frequently Contained
within a fraction of two hundred prisoners, of
whom but a small proportion were females—
perhaps 0116' in ten. Thus it appears that
drunkenness, vagrancy, and petty offenies, are
on the increase among :the lower class' of fe
males, although there seems to be no adequate
reason therefor, unless it be that the supplies
of many of the "baser sort" have been out off
since the "roughs" have disappeared, thus
compelling them to seek the breadof tbecounty
jail to wird off starvation.
Highly Intelligible.
A ♦eterinary surgeon, or horse doctor," in
Philadelphia, endeavors' to enlighten the pub
lic on the injury he supposes salt does to
horses' feet, and he introduces the subject in
the following learned and intelligible style
"Constituted - opinion ever has a tendency
to suppress the development of doctrine seek
ing new and independent existence. Nature
'is catholic, bat men are 'sectarian and intole
rant. Happily, however, as with the earth's
first fruits under a covering of snow, while
chilling influences checks growth for the time.
Thus in the conflict between progressive and
retarding influences, time is allowed flit foil
development."
It is clear, from the above, that salt dots in
jure horses' foot, and its use on railways ought
not to be permitted. There is no use discuss
ing the subject any further I

the Farewell Address, or suitable • tarts of it,
be real on that day, wherever practicable, at

A lifirrars.—ln our . summary of the rate
of taxation in Allegheny, we reported the city
tax at five mills, whereas it is tea milts for
city purposes. This will increase the total
tentage in Allegheny city to 52 mills, or a
fraction over five per cent. of the valuation.
Without the county railroad tax it will be 23
per cent.—quite enough in all conscience. -

the following:
Knoxville, Feb. s.—On Sunday last Colonel
White's Tedriesiee cavalry encountered a force
of Lincoln's infantry in 'Morgan sonny, Ten

the mountain side. White charged the enemy.
'Capt. Dirtiesh rallied his men twice. Duncan

The Savannah Bepablicon, of.. Thursday,
says: The gloss . revealed yesterday no new
movements iromo.ng the federal vessels lying in
the 'Cut., north of the river, beyond an addi
tion to the number. Some imagine they have
moved nearer to the ricer, but we could dis
cover no material change in the poiition. 'Per
sons familiar with the water courses in that
locality say they have not yet reached,Wall's
cut, but are lying In the river beyond that,
which does not communicate with the main

can readily eommand• the main passage. It
has been stated, by persons who .ought to

Westin - Utast, Feb. 6, 1612.
We have had one fair day .in Washington
lately, which was Wednesday. 'This mailing
again, discomfort reigned with the rain and
bailed with the hail.
The --Armory Committee, somewhat dilute-
Lehed Di - numbers, is yet active in its duties.
They met the House Special Committee again
yesterday. Ur. Hewe presented the aro=
meat for our side of the case in a very effee
tiro speech, which / am informed, (I did not
hear it) was listened to with great acceptance,
exciting no adverse feeling or criticism in
other parties, while exhibiting the wishes and
arguments of our own, in . he beet light.
The din:mishit) before the' cOmmittee after,'
war& took, for a time at least, another eh's- ,
nel: As I informed you - in my , laat ',letter,
'GOV. Andrew; witha delegation-from Masa.,
Is here. This delegation appeared berfcire the
Armory Committee • on Wednesday, to urge
the establishment of a foundry or foundries,
:for the making of big, guns. Thai; proper

Committee on Coast Defense, and I believe
they met there too. Gev. Andieer bee infer- .

prevents his - acceptance of the rose-eolored
"pea,m" news which As talked of generally.
'ffe said in his remarks, that the length. of
time necessary for a foreign fleet to take Port
land—the best sea-port on the Atlantle - coasit
—is the time needed for a steamship lto sail
three miles—say twenty minutes. Boston is in ,
a better condition. It could make a show of,
defense against anything but an irtinfelad
ship, and that could lay /lesion in aihes in
spite of all their ' defensive works. ' In fact,
as against such Moulder iron' lioatimghatter
ies, as England and France have:now, Oar tea
coast is' defenseless. - Gov. Andrew presented
these facts in graphic language. lie had
particular ?lave to urge as r ti, proper site for-a
national foundry, but the choice appeared to
centre about the Unison somewherd. - This,
question was mooted, via: how many big gun s
could be made at the foundries already in op-,
oration. It was proposed to ascertiiii how
many, for instance, could' be made .in Pitts
burgh per annum.' 'Mr, Knapp, 'of die 'Arm

of big guns, and how and where to , prOcere
them.
To-day our delegation was again before the

- Rodman, Captain of Ordnance., presented ids•
views in full, but I cannot give themleis& in
little. 'I find the opinion very : prevalent this,
evening, with our. people Must the ,CoMmittee
will report in favor of an armery, and a foun

Masora. Samuel _McKee, Wm. Phillips and
John P. Pears, glasb manufacturers; arrived
here from Pittsburgh to-day. They will rep-
resent the interests of that branch before the'
committee new elaborating theVrtir tax. El. ,
Gov. W. F. Johnston, R. h. Sellers and
Finney, Esqs., I met here also to'-day: "
The expulsion of Bright is one of ?the best
