COMMUNICATED,
To School Dlrectora.
A circular has bt-en sent to me from the
State Department respecting the education
of indigent children, made orphans by the
war. It is denrous to know the number
there are in this County, thai provision may
be made for them, should it meet with the
approval of the Legislature. The Secretary
of each board of Directors is requested to re
p rt t<> me the number and age of those in
their respective districts at or before the 15th
of April neit. By prompt action this can
be d me ; we all have an interest in so hu
mane a tneusuie.
I take this occasion of complying with a
request made by several of our citizens to
call attention to an article in the School law
requiring Directors, to post up at least teii
written or printed hand bills in the most
public places in their respective districts,
gi r ing an account of the moneys received and
disbursed for school purposes etc. Should
the notices be sent to tue publishers of our
County papers, I doubt not but that they
would cheerfully insert them as they are of
interest to all.
See S*c. CIII, Page 51 School law.
Sec CVIII, page 48, states some conditions
for receiving the state appropriation; I hope
no neglect of officials will cause a forfeiture.
Each district iB entitled to four months school
ing.
The State Superintendent desires to know
41 how many of our teachers have been and
are engaged in Military Service, ais) the
number thai have been killed and died io the
service."
I would recommend that the summer
schools commence about the first of May as
many of the schools do not have more than
one half the usual number in attendance dur
ing the latter part of July and August.
I am desirous of holding at least one Teach
ers Institute this Spring. If the directors
and teachers of any locality will manifest a
wish to that effect and assist in making ar
rangemeots I will most cheerlullv co-operate.
Henoelorih 1 will abandon the plan of in
dorsing Cert ficates I have printed direc
tions tor marking certificates and trust in
the future directors and citizens will be pres
ent at 'he examinations, they can then as
certain the comparative merits of a teacher.
The annual examinations are held in ihe
Fall. As two new districts desire to avail
themselves of the benefits of the school law,
I will meet the teachers lor 6aid townships,
when the new board shall have organized
and fixed the time and place of meeting.
If there be townships, whe r e there are not
enough qualified teachers, I would like the
information soon.
Let it be remembered each certificate for
the state appropriation should have a fire
cent revenue Btamp affixed besides two
stamps to prepay postage for certificate and
report.
With very few exceptions the schools have
been in successful operation during the past
winter.notwithstanding uiaDy excellent teach
ere have left us.

The folio wing is the C rcular referred to
CIRCULAR,
dueatious Respecting the Education of In
digent Children made Orphans by the
war, to be answered by Secretarial
of School Hoards.
The Governor, in his annual message, urges upon
the Legislature] the claims of " the poor orphans of
our sulaiers, who have given or shall give their lives
to the county in this crisis," ani expresses the opin
ion, " that their maintainance and education should
be provided for by the State." Of the justice of
tnis claim no one for an inst .nt can doubt. The
first step toward carrying out this hunane sugges
tion of his Excellency, is to ascertain the number ot
■ ch children in the State.
This can best bo accomplished by the officers of
the school boards, in the several counties and cities.
It will be an act of benevolence that will result in
good to those who have been made widows and or
phans by the war. You are, therefore, requested ot
forward to this Department, answers to the follow
ing questions, vis .
Ist. What is the number of indigent children in
your school district, whose fathers have been killed
or have died in the military or naval service of the
United States ?
2d. Are there anv institutions of learning in your
country, that will undertake to provide lor the main
tainance and education of a number of said orphans
if security be given that all reasonable expenses
shall be p>id by the aitate?
3d. If there are any such scl ools, how many chil
dren will each take
It is highly important that this circular, with the
questions answered, be returned promptly by the
fitteenth of April, if possible. This Department
c.-nnot too strongly urge upon the officers herein
addressed, the necessity of prompt action in this
matter- They may thereby bring joy to many e
sorrow stricken, destitute family

How Lincoln Nogrolem Operates,
A V\ ashmgion correspondent of a New,
York Journal whose statement is ccrrobora
ted from other sources, writes as followes :
"The effort made by the humanitarians to
get r d of a cargo of free colored people has
been eminently successful. In April last—
under the banner of Lincoln Colonization
four hundred and fifty of these unfortunates
were shipped to the'lsland of A Yacte. and
yesterday afternoon three hundred and sixty
eight were returned to this District. The
total i imi V r ctsinjid by ltd treatment
was eight}-two, and tie w i o'e of them
testify that their sufferings have been indes
crdable. The amount appropriated by the
last Congress, f..r putting down the rebellion,
bv means of this littlo speculation was six
hundred thou-and dollars. How much of
the money remains unexpected, how soon an
other of these humane and profitable experi
tnents will he made, and who of our excess
ively loyal citizens will have the fingering of
the money, sre questions not yet decided.
Thus goes the money of the while tax pays

nocent negroes, by the impracticable scheme

Randoms from Trinity SUeple.
To-night, Mr. Editor, from ruy roosting
pole, among the clouds, 1 look down Well St.
that temple of Iniquity, and unrighteous
mammon.
It is quiet novr, no bustle, no notse, save
the tramp, tramp, of the lone watchman, who
patrols bis beat more for his wages, than for
the apprehension of theives, and the main
tenance of order.
The Bulls and Bears, have gone to their
stables, and their caves, many of which, are
gilt, and resplendant with gold ; but where
the money come from, for their erection, is
more than I know, and don't ask an honest
man to tell.
Sbylcck, too, has retired to bis palace,
like dew, to count and to guard through, to
him. the dreary night, bis gold and his jewels
flanked, perhaps, by pile# of Chase's raga
muffin, abolition souls, commonly styled
green backs, but more properly, " break
backs," for il any government, can bear up
under their huge weight, and not be broken
in the back, then use me for green paint, that
is all. Green backs, like Gaiety, at limes,
may be very proper and useful, but a place
for every thing, and every thing in its place,
and if one is used for currency let the other
also, no partiality.
But good by to Wall St., for the present;
we will visit it again, there are volumes in
and around it, and some day, we may at
tempt an explanation, but to nigh', let us
vif.it the great Sanitary, or rather insanitary
Fai,r that has been raging furiously, for the
last few weeks on the brain of all our neigh
boring city, Brooklyn.
The Eist River is crossed by means of a
convenient and well managed ferry. We
ascend the heights, 'us almost as light as
day. The round full moon, rides high in the
heavens throw.ng a pbeet of silver light over
the glorious view spread out before us. New
York Bay sparkling in its matchless beauty,
lies at our fe--t, its bright waters, gently un
dulating by the tidal wave, reflect in grace
ful proportions, the numberless objects, that
stand, like sentinels of old, on its shores.
Then comes New York, shrouded In a va
pory tnist, with her turrets and towers, grim
and 6olemn, as the spear armed watchman,
in the cities walk. But the scene extendi
and expand®, until the eye is lost, faraway
in the descending, an 1 earth touching clouds.
We turn, reluctantly, from its grandeurs,
p&ss along a few blocks! and stand at the
entrance of the great fair/ The Academy of
Music is appropriated for it together a syta
ble chunk of creation, fenced in and covered
over for the purpose. The latter are tempo
rary buildings, but auitable, and built at
some attempts at architectural display, and
if, to violate all rules and principles, were
the object, they are a hit.
'Tis the opening night the people, the
masses, are not expected to be present at the
initiation ; butwe are an exception, we pay
two dollars admission, and enter the Audi
torium of the Academy. A blsxe of light
and beauty greet us, brilliants, and jets,
sparkl ng eyes and smiling faces, wreathes
and festoons, flowers and fountains, drapery,
Stars and Stripes, in fac' sonic-thing of every
thing on the earth above, and from the in
creaeed clitter clatter of tongues, one would
think a fair representation from the earth be
neath .
The Academy is filled to repletion, with
tables, literally groaning,"under their bur
dens, and loads of articles of every name,
shape and quality, that the ingenuity of wo
men, can conceive and execute, rag babies,
india rubber babies, white babies, nigger ba
bies, and—well no use T can't begin to enu
merate ; it is a confusion, a wilderness of
dry goods, hard ware, tin and groceries, a
tremendous wonder.
The tables are well flanked, by brigades of
Brooklyn's flashing daughters, many of whom
are pretty as sin ; and while engaged in the
capacity of Salesmen,\\e like the falher of the
same ingredient ; but no matter for that, it
is business, consequently moral, and espe
cially 90, in view of the end to be gained that
's, money, ostensibly,"for the relief t f disabled
soldiers, but in reality,l fear, for the pock
ef6 of vagabonds and swindlers.
If lam too" severe, I will apologize and by
way of atonement, will agree to eat pork and
beans for the next week, as served up in the
New England Kitchen, after " ye manners of
ye olden time," and if that will not be sufß
cient porpitiahon, don't trouble me further
The Kitchen is an institution a feature of
the fair, perhaps, not an extc: simile of the
kitchen of "ye Puritan father-." (wisli they
had been raked over their own fires) but a
very good imitation. It occupies the greater
halt Ifa sizeable building, temporarially
erected, opposite the Academy, and is ap
proached, by an enclosed passage, or a sort
of a bridge of 6tghs, leading from ih? Audi
torium.
It is a huge barn looking contrivance, and
would be a fortune to many a farmer, but it
has many of the resemblances, and appurta
nances of "ye real old country kitchen." The
wide gapping fire plac", the crane and hooks,
the blazmg fire >n the hearth, the churn and
batter pot in >ne corner, supported by the
dve tub in the other, which, you know, Mr.
Editor, used to be the urchins coveted seat
of a cold winter night—how I would like to
live over some of those nights, especially,
when the old deacon would get tight on ci
der and be to moral and sociable, but woe
unto the urchm, should an unlucky slip, up
set the tub and scatter the contents; if any
part of his hole were lucky enough to escape
a blue blacking the pncess would be com
pleted by an application of Shoe Sole
at the hands of the dsme or the broad
hand of the fond paternal well laid on. Jehu !
I feel it smart yet, and as for the lovely fra
grance of the dye, I know it will never evap
orate Irom the nostrils of the old.
