The firsa gencra, order issued by th, eotnmand er of,-he post relited to the re-aening of the p ili schools. Hli-herto, -.o schools fo' qolored .popie, bond or !rce, have been .permlitted in Charleston, excepting as !pecial favors to fhe Weahiet' classes, and then olij under t1he most onerous surveillance an! conditions. Other such schools have been-as the irst Christian congre ,gations met-by ste2mh and in secret plaees As the military force here is 1pall in comparison with the amount of work to be done, two North ern eitizeps intersted in universal edileation,who are here on a visit-James Redpath, of Boston, and Kane O'Doimell, of Philadelphia-were in vited to re-open the public schools an re-organize the system of-education on the most liberal basis. The 'school bHildifgs Were 12nedintely taken possessibn of anda Bureau of Instruction opened. Tuesday and Wednesday were named as. the times when applications for te privilege of teach ing either at public or private schools would be considered. Certain of the old teachers applied to be re-instated in their former positions. There were 'some interesting scenes at these interviews. The applicants were received with d stinguish ed consideration, and evidently believed that they wouild be at once installed aster a favorable opinon had.been expressed as to their titness. -.They were asked if they ,were willing to take the oath of-ail.mganev. The fir'st :o apj cants were astonished that "females" shiould b required to take the oath, but (possibly because tey looked on Divine truth as too precious a thing 1 to b wasted on Yatnkees, for they were v'olent rebels,) ? they said they had never been polintcir.s, and of course would do whatever the authorim.is thought right. They were then asked: . "Are you aware, ladies, that there' is no dis :inction to .be made hereafter in the pubic gchools between any -class of children-that if' white children apply, they shall be,admitted, and if colored'children apply, they shall be ad mit~ted ?" "In the same schoo!, sir ?" "In the same school, madam." One of these ladies, not figuratively, hut lite rally and vigorously, turned up I.er nose, and the other mtade entraordinary contortions with her mouth. After a sufficient time had been given to the two ladies to restore nose and mouth to the pristine corzdition, they were courteously inform gl that a new order of things had come ;- that the old South, with all its prejudices and aristoc racies, were done away with for ever; that a~ large majority of the first fa'ulies, so-called, of South Carolina, had already been reduced to beggary, and that before the war ended there would be very few of .them who would not be~ paupers; that .a high social order would e~ established here, and an entirelv ditT'erent class ojf people rule ;that the Governmtent couid only recognize, in its dealings with citizens, one test ...lornr :v or ther kno~wl ir:amma-:h asth eoloreI people, as a class, had eein loyal, and the whizes, as a clasF, disloyal, there would er tainly be nothing' done by it, offlcially, that shou'd iiscrinurate nniinst those who had been true to it, and who wedtomed the restoration o' its Ruthoritv. As ther'e were no slaves anywiere now in the United StatCS, and the fact that one who wag a slave, was rone tie less a mlored person thah, when free, the ladies who had fortnerlv taught their servani to read must bear the orius, if there were any, of educating negrd children. Thef started it. The ladies here could do entirely as they pleased about acceptinz positCons. in the public schools; we would Ie glad to have natives of the city teach here, and would show no preju dice againSt them, or seek to recall the fact thiat they had incited rebellion, if they'Would be loyal now ; but if they wis,ed to do so they must ac cept the new order of things.- On the other hand they mlit turn up their noses so often and so -ar that they never wordd come down again iher woild soon find that fhey had only sacrific ed ieI own interes't for the prejudices of a class whose rule had departed forever, and of a phil osephy which was as dead as astrology. There were teachers'enou-gh in the North wio wou!d cone when called for. They had never seen the subject presented in that light ; they had never thought of it before; the ladies said they saw,no objection to taking a place if this was to be the rule. She hoped to have her (ormecr associates take the same view of the case, and would call with them to-morrow. [Bit. the oa.side cu: -ent was too strong !

U.y the recent arrival of three gentlemen f'ron Chaile,ioi the following intelligence has been communicated to.us: Ex-Gov. William Aiken, under Yankee license, is acting as Mayor ofChCarleston. The city is garrisoned by negro troops, the la dies5 of'the place being 'opelled to courtesy to them in passing at. the gentlemen to p41ll. their hiats. A youing Mr. Aiston had been stripped and made to receife a whipping from his own negro Thei' colored tmops were co-r.mitting depreda tion- of the most revolting character; and in fact, eve:-v' ind' nity that fiendish liate could suggest, was bing heap-ed on the white populationl.

How THE YANKEES TREAT "Union" PEOPLE. -We had occasion to s'et forth, a short tinle since, how the Yankees treat -Union people, so called by themselves, but whom we e appropriately style tories, as our fathers did the loyalists in 17'76. We~have. now other instances to record of the tender dealings of thc Yankeces with their Union, loval friends. It lhas'happened that they have passed through a portion of the Qriaker settlenient of Wayne, and not having regard for the Quaker sentiment, or their exemption, because et 'consirenos scruples,' against fighting, for tercountry, they tucked some of them up, and literally hung them. until they disgorged silver dollars-bright pure coin-to the amount of thousands.-Raleigh Confederate. A member of the Legislature was heard to say, that a certain contractor ur.d.er the State orConfederate Go.vernmnent had bought twice as much of a certain article as his corntract contemplated. He was aslAd what he would do with this 5urplus. "Speculate on it," was~ the answer. Yet that man subscribed -in.oath, we are told, to the effect that he xwould not we the position he holds. How many souls v.il this war send to--? If the Governor or President would have names we can, give them.-Mare, Cfin.) .Out with the names and pass the notice around.-Firie Trader. Mn. PRr, 'E,of the Louisville Jonenai, says that if he "could infer the determination of~a people, from all the highest military and civil authorities-froln President, Vice Presi dent, Members of the Cabipet, Senators, Rep resentatives, Generals," ctc.-the rebels whomr h&saw recently, during his visit to Richmond, are absolutelf hent upon the achievrrm9i o their indepen'a'nce MARTIN LVrE. AT HOME AND AsnMWAg: Sut I could not,bring up my conceptioh of Lu ther in Gerrarfy to the idea I had of him be "ore ! saw his manuscripts, oliections of his works, and pq traits, but his big drinking cups were, after ,all, the most prominent memorials he leit behind hi'n. He was ajolly Old sut; hearty ind ho t, L dare say, and banged awny at the PFope and the devil with good effect. But there was nothing high and -rand about hin. I krent to. see the place whero the devil is 'said to have helped him over the walls of Atugsburg; b'ut even there, not a gleanm of poetry associated itself with his name. The huge drinking cup, seemed to swallow up everything, and the couplet, said to be his, appeared to tell the whole story. Who loves not wine, women and song, Remains a fool all his life long. In short, his burly face and figure, and the goblets that testify to his powers, made it absolntely impossible for me to connect any heroic idea with the man.- [Professor .ulton. Kissisr,.-The "editress"~ of the Ladies' Nepository, -talltig about kissing, says "Kisses, like faces of philosophers, vary. Sotne are as hot as fire, some as sweet as honey, some mild as milk, some tasteless as long drawn soda. Stolen kisces are said- to hale more nutmeg and cream than other.sorts. As to propossd kisses, they are not liked at all. A stolen kiss i, the rpst agreeable. We have been kissed a few times, and as we are not very old, we hope to re*ive many more." At what hour may the lady be found j-n her office ? SUCCEss rN LIME.-A. man's besthelp is in himself-his own heart, his own soul, his Own 'resolute purpose. The battle cannot be fought b- proxy. A man's mind aay be aroused by ianother-his desire to improve- and .advance himself be excited by another, but he mqst Mool. his own stuff, quarry his own nature, make his own character. What if he fail in on* effort! l%t him try again ! Let him try.hard try often, and he cannot fail ultimately to suc ceed. No man can teil w4at he can do until he tries, dnd tries with resolution. ihaUE PPrEcn3.s.-The Paris correspdn-, dent of th- New York Herald mentions that Mrsr Adgustus Frederic Tbistlewayte, of Grosvenor square, London, whose husband hag an income of about ?80,000 a year; has been preaching in Paris, Sundays and week i'days, in the Parlor of "n English resident, and has drawn ]arge audiencet.-The speaks with a good-deal of ffuency, and expounds with a considerable degree of force.

On his cap, as is usual with the naval gentry, was a bi'oad brass band. An old Confed., withb no seat to his .pants, was attracted by naval man's hat, and having a good cr'bwd of "boys" to back him. called out to him, the Columbus Sun says, Hello, mister, can't you play us a tune on your brass band ?" The "boys" laughed. Navy was chaed, and turneh red. iM3EN AND N4'RET-KEEPJNG.-It is quite a mis ken idea that a woman egnnot~ keep a secret-nobodf so well. Trust her but with half, or. try to keep it from her altogether, and she is sure to beat you; because her pride prompts her to find out what the man thinks it right to conceal, anl then her vanity in duces her+tonell what she -has found out, and this in order to show her power of dis::ove'ty. The recent discovery of sovereigns in circu Ilation worth not mo~re than seventeen shillings eaused the bank of England to examine allPthe sovereigns io.theiir vaults. The number was nine hundred 'thottsand, which were rung sep arately by four tellers in almost ten days. On ly three of the seventeen shilling coim were - discovered.
