Tbe short time which the schools are kept open —averaging less than five months—he consider* an evil of no biding character, aod'which should -if possible, be speedily remedied, deeming that the schools, to be useful, should be kept open at least .ten months in tbe yearj’for where they are open only-for so short a time—gome less than three .months—the attention ot scholars is scarcely fixed upon - their studies before their sesson of seven ■months? tecreolion agtin begins, the schools are ■more crowded than' they otherwise would be, and at’moreover places an obstacle iu the way of the employment of competent teachers, ss those ade quate to the laak‘of instruction, and willing to adopt Ht'ajf aq employment, will not be willing to engage iforso small a. portion ot tbe year, bnt will forsake, the country school, and find refoge trom a system that deniea a maintenance, in towns and villages where better terms are obtained. He also calls attention to the salaries of teachers; for as $17,37 [formate teachers, and $10,65 for females, merely mark ohe average, they afford no just view of the •salaries paid, inasmuch as In many districts the salaries rise above a medium, while in a large ma jority ofjhe townships they fell below it. The re ports to the department, indeed, afford evidence that in’many of fee districts, not more than $6 per month are paid to .females, and *l2 to males. Such .a-syfiem is not only highly defective, but cannot .continue; unless a change is effected in this impor .‘tanlrparticnlar. There are many other defects diseeroable in the ■practical operation of the system, which, though of ''minor importance, require legislative interference; and’pronunenl among these be regards the manner t ofraiaiag taxes in tbe districts, where in some cases,-the number of taxable* is less Ihsn twenty, ;and in some, as low as nine and seven, so that a Veryl few who may be dissatisfied with tbe school or the directors, have tbe power to decide against .raising the additional tax, and thus dote the school altogether. It is suggested that these district meetings, for tbe purpose of obtaining authority to ’raise thq udditirmal tax, are not the best mode, but -that the directors should have the authority of law -to raise such an amount of tax, as in the exercise of a sound discretion, would be adequate to school .purposes. ■>- He recommends small districts also, as less ex» 1 pensive to-the tax-payer than large ones, and tug\ 1 gcsls that as authority has been given the direc ’ tors to refuse admission into the schools of children the age of five years, they should also have .-power to refasc admission to persons over a certam ,age, ss instances are not rare of adults over tbe ■age of 21, claiming the privilege of admission, and . { occupying the time and attention of the teacher •' *■ 1 the higher branches of learning.— Philo.

E. of Gnllanaa. The town was a walled town, and had jtfal been rebuilt, enlarged, and surrounded by a yll twenty feet high. The wall had just been completed,, and the scaffolding around the outside bad not been taken down. Alter a short resistance, the besiegers, by means of this scaffolding, scaled .the walls, and'eamed the town. Having secured the victory, they at once commenced the work of destruction and death, and fifty victims foil under the battle axe before they passed in their sanguin* ary Work. Popish, the king dT the town, happened to be absent with his principal men. As soon as ihe news reached him, he founded an alliance with the and Madingo population [who are among the : trafficking tribes, and who looked upon this at fe« &general injury,} and pro* ceeded to beseige the besiegers and be revenged ? i;pop them. A powerful force thus collected, march* . fid opop the town, advancing upon all sides, while riteWendians, with closed gates, were rioting over their triumph in the midst of fancied security. — Overwhelmed at the sadden and unexpected ap pearance of the allied powers, thp Mendians re mained quiet for some weeks, knowing that an at tempt at parley would be ineffectual, and that re sistance would be vain. The besiegers obtained rockets at Monrovia, with instructions for using them, and many were thrown town. The besieged, however, had taken the precaua lion to uncover the bouses and divest them of ev« i-golfig to California in at)'who goes' 10 join lafcno.

The flag of the Mexicans streamed proudly out from the lam* parts, and waved in all its gorgeousneas in the gentle breeze that swept alonetbe plain. Sinning bayonets,and glistening sabres-reflected back the son’s brightest rays, and deep monthed cannon boomed out upon the surrounding country, thrent ening death and destruction to the advancing-foe. On they came, filing ont, column afier column, from the sabarbs of the little village of Tacubays, and sweeping like a destructive tornado upon thejde. voted ramparts. Suddenly, from the batteries of the castle, a stream ol flame and smoke abbt forth, end all along the lengthened line, the missiles of r terror and death went death weot hand in hand, , cutting down the noble and brave, the good and generous, and strewing all in one mangled heap of , gore and blood. War with aU its blasting and , desolating effects, was carrying grief and misery | into many a heretofore happy family, and striking I down the father and husband, the son and brother, . in terrible and bloody havoc, and consigning them , .to one common and sorrowing grave. White the faces of the wife and sister at home) were, perhaps, ’ wreathed in smiles, that of the husband and broth er was writhing in the agony of death, upon a ’ foreign soil, and breathing ont life’s last sighjamld 3 the roar of cannon and the rattle of muskets. The , scenes of that dreadful and fatal room will never j be forgotten. But while this was transacting aroond ChapuL tepee, another, and a still more terrible scene was passing in the Uule town of Miseoux, some half a mile distant from Tacnbnyo. AttbebattleofChnr ubusco, the deserters under Riley had been cap tured, and after an impartial trial sentenced to be bang. They were known by the title of tbo “For* eiga Legion," and were made op of men who had deserted the ranks of the Americans and joined the force of the enemy. The day set for their exe cution was the 14th of September and it also hap pened that the attack upon Chapultepee took pi act* the same day. The sun had just risen, and tinged the east with his purple ray, as they were led forth to die.— Thirty in number, and surroanded by a strong body of men. they advanced with slow steps towards the gallows, the muffled drum sending forth the solemn death notes, and giving u> the whole the appearance of a military funeral rather than a pub lie execution. They were arranged under the gallows, which was one erected for the purpose being nothing more tbon two large poets ret final; in the ground, across the top of which was placed a pole of sufficient length to admit the bodies of thirty men. Beneath it the prisoners were arrang ed, with the noose around their necks—the other end of the rope being thrown over the pole, was grasped by three or four stout men, ready at a moment's warning to launch them into eternity.— A gloomy silence pervaded the spot, and as they gazed upon the group collected there, they found no* sympathising glance in the scowling faces and glaring eyes which were fixed upon them. They had destroyed the last feeling of respect felt, for them, when they look arms Against their own countrymen. The usnslly dark brow of Colonel H y, who superintended the execution, was contracted by a deep frown, and his deep grey eyes twinkled savagely in their sookets as he gal loped ap to the spot, and reined in his smoking charger beside them. ‘ls all ready, Lieutenant?’ he asked of an officer who commanded the guard. 'Everything,' replied the officer. ‘Then let them swing,’ was the savage reply. The Lieutenant turned and advanced towards the prisoners, when suddenly the eye of the Colonel fell opoo the castle, and the deadly roar of artillery reached his car. ‘Lieutenant,' he suddenly exclaimed with start ling energy in his voice. I ‘Aye, sir,' replied the officer, returning. I ‘Have everything ready but don’t draw them up ! until the American flag waves out from the flag staff of Chapoltepec Castle.' ‘Aye, sir, it shall be done;’and the Lieut, return ed to the gallows. 'lf we amt hung until that castle is taken by the Americans we shall live a good long life yet,' soilenly exclaimed one of the prisoners under the beam. 'Then live you shall, tor until the Star Spangled Banner waves in victory over yonder Casue, you aball not die,’ replied Col. H——y sternly. 'Hurrah, boys' we'll live a long life yet. Old Bravo's the man to slick to the Castle as long as there’s e shot in the locker, or a, man to stand by him,' replied the fellow All eyes were unw fixed with deep intensity up on the height—and galling was the agony of ana* penne which they endured between the momenta which elapsed during the terrible contest which was going on around the Castle hill. Snddenly the flag of the Mexicans went down amid the strife, and the Colonel shouted; ‘There goes the enemy’s banner—the Castle is won.' 'And there goes the flag back again: go it Old Bravo,' shouted another of the Legion, as tbe Mex ican dag rose to the top of the stall - , und waved to the breeze. ' , ' ■ * ' A muttered ejaculation escaped thelips of the Colonel, and each one again died bit eyes upon ; the scene. Tbe contest raged on with Quabajed vigor and m a few moments the brow of the hilt was bidden from sight by tbe dark cioad of smoke which bunijt oroond it A half boar passed, and ss a strong‘wind swept down tbe plain and lifted the smoke from off the night, tbe enemy’s flag bad again disappeared from tbe staff. A moment of deep anxiety followed, and then the African tanner ran up tbe stag* and floated j»roadly over the baU llemenls. ‘Up with them p thundered tbe deep voice of the Colonel; and the next moment thirty human lieings were swinging in tbe last agonies of death from the gallows; and os they quivered in the rising sunbeams which glanced along the plain, no loot; of sympathy tell upon tbetr detested features, lor all considered;that they richly deserved their fate. Socb, reader, was the fate of the Foreign Legion —men who scorned oil the attributes of nobleoess and love of country which generally exist in an American bosom, left the standard of freedom, and a handful of comrades, in (he heart of au enemy's country, eqrrouoded by an overwhelming force, to lend a helping band in brave httlp army whicn was toiling onward to death or victo ry. . Dishonored they lived—booted and despised they met the traitor's doom. Slat Dayi Lst«r firota Chagres—Slek b«ii and Osstk among the Csllforala Emigrant*. The inteUigenoe by tbe steamer Crescent City from Chagres, the amvai of which, at New York, we announced yesterday, is not of a character calculated to increase the emigration to California by the lathmus route, until it is certain conveyance from Panama can be obtained upon arriviug at that port. Many wiil, no doubt, be diaappointed in not reermog accounts of large arrivals of gold by this steamer. It appear* that the emigrants to Cal ifornia suffer very much on the route from Chagres to Panama, and at both of those placet, before they get to the gold region. A correspondent of the New York Herald, writing from Panama, on the 7lh instant, says: No urgency short of life and death should bring a mop o n this route; for n female it is utterly out oftbe question, {l has taken most of otir pnnsen. gers eight days to ret from Chagres to Inn coy, and many of those uy tbe John Henson and the Falcon are still on the road. The canoes from Clin gres to Cruces cost $35 for each pereon, and $(2 for a mule bringing a single trunk from tbe latter place have been paid by many. In fact, there are not half mules enough in the whole Isthmoa to sop ply the demand. He gives the following account of Chagres, ami tbe route; Chagres is a collection of one hundred negro huts with walla (when they hare any) and roob thatch ed with palm. A few turkey buxzarda ornament each roof; and when it ceases to ram, they bold themselves out 1° humbie imitation of a spread eagle, to dry. Low sod swampy, it looks the abode of pestilence, as it isi Now. in the dry season, it rains ten limes a day, and the earth is filled to sat uration. In the eight wet months oT the year it must be decidedly moist. We Je/l the place with all cooventent speed—some in large boats, which oould make but Uftfo progress against tbe strong current; other* in small ones, wtnen «ouU bold but two persons besides the two boalmefi, and which made good progress up tbe stream. All bad to sleep one night between Chagres and Cruces, tbe greater number were two nights on tbe way —-some were three or four. The naked boatmen are gene/arty efficient, tolerably honest and cjvf|.-_ The sleeping places are the same a# tfip piiagfv* bats, with mud floor*, rod nothing to eat. If a ben be found, the price >• a dollar, and seventy-five cents for cooking. No bread, no sugar, no ten, no milk, no meat Even these huts are few and far between, though the nver banks are beautiful in their tropical vegetation, and seem capable of pro ducing every thing which tbe heart can desire.— Bunhe ccf*o of floods is on the land, and it is difr flcult tolraagtae *baj£«>d can ever come out of it Croces is nearly as lowl and qutfo ** disagreeable as Chagres. we were compelled to remain tbore some doyd, tn consequence of the impossibility of obtaining transportation. Of the road from Croces to P«gma, it is impossible to give an idea. The Uyellfsi'HTiagitfoiiop cannot picture it. Mod holes, in which the mule* mitp op to their bellies; enrt loads of boalder stones, which, in Jhe tifys of Spanish galleon*, may have formed a pavement; ra vines worn deep iu tbe solid rock, and only wide enough for mole’s feet below, and for tbe rider’s legs abovej wilh every possible acclivity and declivity, from forty-five degrees to perpendicular, all com bine to make up tbe most imftyssiolp road now fo actual use on tne face of the globo.

We know nothing of him except what is known (0 the whole country, but if he is entitled to half the reputation which he enjoys Jfor concieatioasness and modesty, and is withal possessed of the rare literary accomplishments which are, we presume, deservedly ascribed to him, be is the finest man living to write the history which rumor credits him with having undertaken. —iVirw York Evrniug Pott.
