Let all attend these public examinations and thus they will avoid the inconve nience to, both themselves and the Su perintendent, of having special or •'pri vate" examinations. Again wo say give heed to this notice in timo. Noldier's Monument Meeting. A meeting will be held in the Court House, on Wednesday, the 23d inst., at 4 o'clock P.

A BLACK, F TWCE O. W. FLEEGER. ( Something Ste^. Wccall attention to the advertisemept of the Duplex Klliptic or doubld Spring Skirt. Though a recent invention, it has become very popular, and is rapidly ob taining the preference over other kinds in use. The rods irr it arc each of two delicate and well-tempered steel springs, wliLeh arc ingeuuously braided together edge to edge, the lower rods hcuvicr, and having a double covering. This peculiar ity of construction rpakes this skirt very strong and durable, afjd also vory pjepsd ingly flexible that readily adapts itself to the form of tho wparpr, and allows any amount of doubling and crushing without injury to its sh'ape. These skirts are unquestionably the lighest, most desirable, comfortable and economical ever made. These arc advantages which ladies, who have experienced the discomfort and in convenience of single springs, will duly appreciate. —The largest amount of tax paid by any one individual sinco the war ceased, in the State of Virginia—the land of "F. F. V's"—has lately been paid by an American of African descent, who gave in, as taxable, real estate to the amount of two hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars. This valuation was that fixed upon it in the year 1860. Shall men be forced to pay taxes on so much wealth— gathered together ably and honestly—tn ■ support State Governments, and maintain , schools from which their own children I are excluded 1 THE GREAT CRIMINAL. —VattcI is an authority oftener quoted than read, more spoken *fian known. In that part of his "Droit de Gens," (the "Law of Nation, or Principles of the Law <:f Nature applied to the AfTairs of Nations and Soverigns," first published in 1758,) in which he treats -'Of Civil War," he distinctly states how such great, public crimin- j als as Jefferson Davis and colleagues : may be jnstly treated. Jfe says. "When the Sovereign has gubducd j the opposite party, and reduced them to submit ond sue for peace, he may expect from the amnesty the authors of the disturbance, the heads of the ' party ; he may bring them to a legal trial, and punish them if they tye found guilty. lie may act in thi« manner particularly on occasion of those dist rbances in which the in terests of the people are. not so much • the object in view as the private aim '"of some powerful individuals, and which rather discrve the name of re volt than of civil war." MEMPHIS. August 20.—Some sol diers who left Jackson, Tennessee, a few days Ago, to hunt up horses that had been stolen, were attacked by a large number of guerrillas and driven bade. They were obliged to abondon their horses. It is reported that three soldiers were killed after falling into the hands of the gueraillas.— . Two of the guerrillas hjje been capt ured. ' m Tl«m »112 the President on tke Sooth. General Schenck spoke >t Chillicofhe a few evenings since, in which he made some statements of interest of the Presi dent's views regarding the South. The General said two courses were open iD dealing with the Sonth after the war closed. The President might have held the rebellious states in subjection as a conquered people until satisfied of their entire loyally,and until reinstated in their former positions by legislative action ; or he might have withdrawn the military force altogether and left them to exercise their civil functions locally and in their relations to the other States. Froqj the start there were objections to eacl} of these courses, and the President com bined them folding a military force over them at same time that he allowed them to reinstate these civil powers, and begin again the exercise of their loyal functions. This latter privilege, how ever, was only an experiment, and the Bpenker assured his hearers that President Johnson so regarded it. Only ten dayß ago, in a full and free interview with him, the President said he regarded the local governments set up in the rebellious States as temporary experiments, simply to give the people an opportunity to show whether they will develop the rigljt spirit and policy necessary for a full restoration to tlipir proper position in the Govern ment. While regarding them as experi ments, he intends that th« military pow er of the Government shall hold them in check, so thitf if they be found straying back into rebellious ways the military will be there to prevent them from again making the trouble they have heretofore caused. The President, in this conversa tion, referred to the coarse that had just been pursued in reference to the Rich mond election, where the citiseus mani fested their rebellious spirit by elcctipg toolfiee the very men who had recently been in arms against the Government. It was villi his sanction that the military authorities aside (fiat election, #pd gave this in an example of what might be ex pected in other cases of a similar kind. NPE€UL NOTICES.
