The following is the correspondence subniitted tq Congress, concerning the' career of Surratt for the last eighteen mouths. Admiral Goldsborough, who is in command of the Mediterranean Squadron, has been instructed by the Seeietary of the Navy to bring Surratt to the United States for trial : WASHINGTON, December 10.—The President communicated to the House to day the correspondence on the arrest of John 11. Surratt. I>. is very voluminous' and relieves Mr. Seward of the imputa lion that he had neglected to use proper efforts to secure the arrest of the fugi» live. Under date of Liverpool, 22d September, 1865, Mr. Wildiug iuforms Mr. Seward that Surratt had anived or was expected to arrive in that city.. He inclosed an affidavit of a person whose name was not made known, but. who, it sgems, was coufideat of Surratt, stating all the particulars of his voyage from Canada, and conversations on the way.— Surrat^corrfeased he had beeu in the Con - federate service, aud his special business was to convey intelligence from Wash, irigton to Richmond. lie also declared that the plan to kidnap aud carry off President Lincoln was concocted by him self aud J Wilkes Hooth. He says he arrived in Cauadu before the assassina tion of Lincoln, aud while there receiv ed a letter from Booth, saying that it had become necessary to change their plan* "Let us have Faith that Right makes Might, 1 and in that Faith let us, to the end,dare to do our duty as we understand it"-- A - I-'NCOI.N and requested him to come immediately to Washington, but he did not say wheth er he returned there as reqnested, but remarked that on his way baek to Ccna da the train was delayek at St. Catha rines, and whilst sitting at the breakfast table a gentleman next to him mention ed the report of tits assassination, and that he (McCarthy,) as he then called himself replied that it was too good to be trne. Thß gentleman took a newspa per from his pocket and vead 8n account of the occurrence, and McCarthy, sur prised at finding his own nauie mention ed, immediate'y loft on Sunday evening, lie had stated to me a long conversation held with Mr. (Blank) at Richmond,and ■eaid to him, "You have told me a great story. Now, sir, what shall I call your name?" He promptly answered, "Sur ratt." This was before our arrival at Londonderry, lie has not seen Surratt since, but I believe he is in Liverpool. Under date of September 30th Mr- Wilding says : Since my dispatch on ihe 23rd inst., tbe supposed Surratt has ar rived in Liverpool, but Mr. Adams ad-, vises me that under the present evidence of identity and complicity it would not be politic to cause his arrest. In convert sation with , of , Surratt ieT clarcd that he hoped that he would live Jong enough yet to give an account of President Johnson. Under date of Oc tober 13, 18(55, Mr. Hunter, Assistant Secietary of War and Judge Advocate Holt, it i-> not thought advisable to lake any step for the arrest ol the supposed Surratt at present. Mr. King, under date of April 23d, w rites to .dr. Seward, informing him that John Surratt had enlisted in the l'apal Zouaves, and had admitted that his true name was Sui+att, and acknowledged his participation in plotting'against the life of President Lincoln. lie declared that he had never seen Jeff Da* is, but that it was understood that he had incited or was privy to the plot. Mr. King's informant says Surratt seemed to he well provided with money, and appealed to him not to betray his se cret. Tho informer expresses an earnest desire that if any steps be taken towards reclaiming Surratt as a criminal, that his name should uot'be nude knowa in tho On May 17th, 1800, Mr. Seward in forms Mr. Stanton of the receipt of the foregoing information, and laid before him Mr. King's letter, detailing all the facts. May 1 Oil., Mr. Stanton aeknowl edges the receipt oftheso documents.and says he had referred the same to Judge Advocate General Holt, who advises him that the statements of the informant be procured and verrified under oath, and afterwards proper steps be taken for the arrest af the supposed criminal. Under date of May 28th, Mr. Seward suggests 10 the Secretary of War that as wc have no extradition treaty with the Papal (Government, that a special agent be sent to the same to demand the sur render of Surratt. Under date of Rome, June 23d, Mr. King reports that he had -held another/ long conversation with [blank], which fully confirmed him in tlio belief of the tru'h of his statement, which his inform ant tiad committed to writing, lie says that Surratt had full complicity, and ad mitted his mother'B guilt flf practicipa tion. The witness says that he was at one time a teacher in the village of Tex as, Maryland, and declares himself pre pared togo to the I nited States. lie still wishes his-uajue cot. :eakd, fearing that his life would be endangered if divulged Surratt also remarked to him that he was in New York, ready to fly when the as- 1 sassiuation took place, and he dues not regret what has occurred. July 14th, Mr. King returns to Mr Seward the above statement agaiust Sur ratt, properly sworn <>y the informant. Under date of Rome, August 8, Mr King says he explained the whole affair to the authorities in Home, when lit.* Eminence expressed himself as greatiy interested, and intimated that if the American Government desired a sur,. n der of the criuiiual, there would piobu bly be no difficulty iu the way. October lU. Mr. Seward iuoloses t,. Mr. King a photograph of Surratt, aud suggests that a coufiduutial person be so lected to visit Yelleuia and compare the phothograph of Surratt with the suppos ed criminal, lie also suggests that prop er compensation be allowed the informant and directs him to seek positive informa tional' the authorities whether llis lie. liness would be willing to euter into a general extradition treaty. Mr. Kiug was also instructed to ask that neither Surratt nor —■— be discharged until there lias beeu a full investigation ot the matter, aud linio be given to make a de mand for them. RO.MK, November 21. —Mr. King says BUTLER, BUTLER COUNTY, PA., WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 26, 18GG. he has had n full interview with Cardi nal Antouqlli, who has responded that he would give up Surratt on proper indict ment and proof at the . request of the United States, if the latter Government would do likewise under parallel circum stances. Mr. King also replied that he would like a confidential person to com pare Surratt's photograph with the sup» posed criminal. November It).—Cardinal Antonelli ap prised Mr. King that Surratt or Watson had been arrestea by his orders [the Car dinal's] but ou the way to Rome had es" from a guard of six men. The Cardinal expressed great regret at Vur ratt's escape. All the orders o r the La pal Government, aud the reports of the Papal officers oonceruin • the arrest and escape were enclosed. November 17.—Mess.8. King and As sistant Secretary of the Navy Fox sent to Minister Harvey, at Lisbon, to direct Admiral Goldsborough to send a vessel to Civita Vecchia upon important busi ness. FLORENCE, November 18—Mr. Marsh reports that h 1 ? had, immediately upon his arrival from Naples, had an inter view with the Secretary General of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, aud asked him if he thought the Italiau govern ment would surreuder Surratt if he should be found in the Italian territory. The Secretary Gencril replied that he believ ed Surratt would be surrendered by that government on a proper demand by the United States, and proofof thy idendit-y of the criuiiual, but that this would prob ably be done only under the stipulation on the part of the United States author ities that the punishment of death should not be inflicted upon the criminal surren dered. The Wonsul General Howard re ports that Surratt had been hunted for at Naples, and it had been ascertained that under the name of Walters he had tho day before proceeded in the regular steam er to Alexandria, Egypt. Mr. King thereupon telegraphed tj Consul Ilale,at Alexander, to arrest Surratt upon his ar rival. Ui.der date of December 2d, Consul Ilale telegraphs to Mr. S sward that he has arrested John Surratt at Alexandria. Mr. Seward to Consul llalo, under date of December 3d, telegraphs him that his course is approved, and measures have been taken to bring Surratt home. Mr. Seward, under date of December 4, telegraphs Consul Hale that the Sec retary of the Navy has instructed Admi ral Goldsborough to bring Surratt home, aud directs Consul Ilale to deliver him to Admiral tioldsborou'h.

NUMIit.R OF TUI'ILS, TEACHERS AND CLASS ROOMS. As each of these schools has or is to have a maximum of 150 pupils, the nurn ber of Teachers required will be at least four ; that is, one Principal Teacher, and three Assistants or Class examiners. 01 t'lese, the Principal of course is to be a teacher of large experience aud of suffi cient scholarship to afford instruction in all the branches of study pursued in the school. Tho assistants may have lest scope < 112 scholarship, but each must be well qualified in the braueh or branches committed to his or her class room. In this corps of teachers —two of whom should be males aud two females—one should be capa 1 le of giving instruction in military drill and calislheutio exercises ; one shuuld be qualified to teach vocal mu sic, aud one if practicable, should be able tj instruct in the rudiments at least, ol 'incar drawing. /in a general rule, it is recommended that the Principal-flf proprietor of thi school shall not himself be the FrtDeipol Teacher, llis time and attention will be so much occupied by the general super vision of the establishment aud providing for its wants, as to render it inconsistent if not impossible to act also as the Prin cipal Teacher. For this position, the better way will be to secure the sorviccs of a competent person who shall devote his whole time to school room duties and the matters connected therewith. This system will require at least three class rooms to each school, pioperly pro vided with Blackboards, Ac; it being in consistent with ; ts na'ure to have any of the lessons recited in the study hall.
