Continue in the same course, and you will always be worthy ^of so great a nation, and will maintain the military spirit necessary to so great a people. Marshal Bazaine, in presenting to the Em? peror the soldiers who took pert ia the battles of Solferino and Has enta, said: "Your soldiers recall the day you led them to victory.

They have taken this action to convince the Home Government that they had no idea of disobeying its orders or opposing the new Captain-General. About the last of May the schooner Grape? shot landed forty men and a portion of her cargo on the Coban coast. While the boats were landing the men, some passengers on board attempted to run the vessel ashore, and a fight ensued with the crew and officers, in which the captain of the Grape? shot received a ballet in the leg. The schooner finally got rid cf the whole party, and without landing all her stores proceeded to Turk's Island, where she received clearances and arrived on the 14 th instant at Falmouth, Jamaica. There, one hundred and fifty-five packages of arms and ammunition remaining on board were seizsd by the customs officers, ?ad the captain abandoned the vessel.

Theneoessary prepara? tions for the separate publication of these newspapers ia morn ii g and evening editions ore in process of perfection. The immediate cause of this chance is re? ferable to a strike among the printers on the Intelligencer, which the proprietors are unable to arrange. It is said thai a stock company, with a consi lerable capital, is now forming, to carry on the Intelligence in connection with the Exprese, and that a meeting of prominent and wealthy citizens of Washington bas been called to accomplish this purpose.

EROBT THE STATE CATITAZ. Closing Examinations of the Howard (Mesjro) School-Statlstle? of Teacher?, Pupils and Schools-Mixed Haces Studies Im willen they Kxeel-Fri ?ex Pr?sentation of Caps-Speeches by Messrs. Iseagle, Moses and Jilleen Prospects. [rsoM ona own COBM?PONDKST.J COLUMBIA, Jane '25.-The annual examina? tions and closing exercises of the Howard School were finished yesterday. This institu? tion is devoted exclusively to the colored race. It was established the first year after the war, but under different auspices from the present. Two years ago a large wooden building was erected by the Freedmen's Burean, at the ex? pense of the general government, and the Howard School established in it. Beyond the building itself the Bureau has had noth? ing to do with the support of the school. The corps of teachers consists of ten-one princi? pal and nine teachers, all female. Of these nine, eight are white and one colored. The principal, Miss Haley,, is from the North, as are all the white teachers, and she has been connected with the school from its commence? ment. These teachers have been employed and sent South by the New York Branch o'the Freedmen's Union Commission. Ooe of them, however, is supported by a private citizen of Hartford-a Mr. Clarke-ont of bis private means. Recently the Presbyterian Freedmen's Society has taken the support of teachers in hand, and will continue it m the future. The lands on which the house is built belong in part to the freedmen of Columbia and in part to the New York branch of the commission, the houBe itself to the United States Govern? ment, and the teachers are supported by bene? volent societies and private individuals in the North. The ten ieaohers conduct ten classes or divi? sions, called schools ; and all the pupils are classified carefully in these ten schools. The maximum number of scholars reached io any one month during the session just dosing, which began in October, 1868, was in winter jost 600. Of these about 275 were boys and 825 girls. The maximum number-600-is very far above the average nnmbef of pupils tor the whole session, be revue -the early months did not present as full lists on account of the in? complete supply of teachers. Of the pupils about one-third are negroes, and the other two-thirds mulattoes and quadroons. From a class of twenty-three, which one of the teach? ers informed me was a fair specimen of the whole as to color, I estimate that the school of 600 pup?B is c imposed of 200 negroaa and 400 of mixed race; the mixed element consisting ot about 80 black quadroons, 135 mulattoes, and 185 white quadroons. The branches in which these colored pupils most excel, the teachers inform me, are spelling, reading and geography; wirtie they are less apt at arithmet? ic and grammar. It will be observed that memory is the negro's forte, rather than think? ing;. The pupils range, as to age, apparently from nine to over twenty. The examinations consisted of three dayp. The first, Tuesday, was devoted to the prima? ry department, The second, Wednesday, to tho intermediate; and in this department four prizes were distributed. The third day, Thurs? day, was devoted to the higher department, and was the most intereeting,in that the pnpils were the farthest advanced. The pupils of this1 department were examined in arithmetic, spelling, readme-, writing, grammar and geo? graphy. They did remarkably well-for ne? groes ; but judged by the standards that we apply to whites, I cannot say that I think they did very well. My impression is that the teachers should be honored for having done eo much with snob material ; and that the com? munity owe them a great deal for having done all that could be done towards educating the colored people. The work that they have done has been well done, although not all that we and they could wish. I I think the sentiment of the community upon this matter is one of approval and thankful? ness. On this third and clo ii og day, there were six prizes awarded, of which two were for "excellence in echolarship and deportment ;" one for "uniform politeness and respectful be? havior;" two for "punctuality;" and ono for the highest number of credits and merits, inelud iog both deportment and recitations. It will bo seen that scholarship is not the basis of most of these awards. The individual pupil that held m all respects the highest rank, was so near white that white quadroon, (three fom th s white) would not give a fair idea of his color. His hair was perfectly straight, and his features unmistakably Irish. Hie Bister, of the same mixtnre, bore off two of the highest prisss. To sive Bpeoimene of their recitations would hardly convey a fair idea of their attainments; and might appear in a spirit of complaint, while nothing could be farther from the feel? ings induced by witnessing these exercises. Incidental to these examination exercises there were several points worthy of note. The audience was almost entirely negroes-the whites being about one to ten. Just before the close of the exercises Messrs. Moses, the Adjutant-General, and Neagle, the Compti oller .General, came forward ea oh with a cup, asking that tho caps be presented as prizes to the most worthy in the two depart? ments, first and second. The presentation of the cups was done by Mr. \ eagle; and the oc? casion demanded, of coarse, that both the cup presenters should be invited to ''make a few remarks." Without any apparent reluctance the 7 both assented, Mr. Neagle leading the way. He had but one theme-himself. He exphined to the school-girls and boya how much he had gone through with in his efforts os a loader of the Repu .hean party in behalf of the negroes; how he had suffered insult, re? velings, and all manner of persecutions from the white people in his efforts to advance the negro, and to secure the triumph of the Re? publican party to which tho negroes oelonged; how prominent be hud been as a leader ot that party; and how he waa going to die hy il; and now they might always rely upon him as the friend of the negroes and a piominent leader of the Republican party. Mr. Neagle, havn? delivered himself of both cups and speech, sat down with the air of one who felt that the groat event of the day was achieved, and well achieved. But the end was not yet. For the Adjutant nod Inspector General bad brought a cup, and had a speech in him, which had jet to bc heard. General Moses had the tact to see that a speech on Moses by him. just after a epeecb on Neaglo by Neagle, would not do He accordingly address? ed himself to the proper theme of the day and occasion-the nogro and hts education. He said very foroiblv that, if there was any place, outside of a Christian church, where feelings of gravity at the impoi tan cs of the work bet?re them, should impress the mind, it was in that sahool house. The mingled pathos and piety of the lexnark produced a profound impression; and tbe speaker's sou mn and asceiio tone of voice conveyed a rebukf that none bnt an eye? witness could possibly appreciate, Ahe Gene ra i'a speech, taken all together, was very per? tinent and well put. After these visitors had delivered them? selves of their caps and speeches, Mr. Jil Ison, tbs State Superintendent of Schools, who was there officially, delivered an address to the ne? groes that was foll of point, practicalness and sense-jost what the occasion called for. He thonght it was not the place for political har? angues, nor an occasion whereat things should be said to embitter race against race, and po? litical party against -political party; and every honest man and woman, white and black, there, fully endorsed that sentiment, and 6ome of them wondered whether the Comptroller-Gene end felt bad or not. He certainly looked so; bat then there's no judging by appearances these times. This winds up the session of the Howard School of freedmen; and a holiday comea now until the first of October, when the next ses? sion is to open. The prospects are said by those connected with the institution tobe favorable for a fine school next session. Our white people sincerely sympathize in these efforts to elevate and educate the negro; and the value of every one of them is enhanced in the direct ratio of their elevation. COBHAIB.

It is understood the Attorney-General, on b:-iug questioned, repheJ that General Sickles' case is clearly within the provisions of the law, and that his being on the retired list makes no difference. If it should bs decided that General Sickles cannot enter upon the Spanish mission with? out resigning his position in the army, be will not accept it. -The New York Journal of Commerce, in noticing the unanimous and spontaneous trib? ute to the moderation of statement and the overruling sense of justice which characterized Mr. Raymond as a political and controversial writer, says : "Little thought Mr. Raymond on every occasion when he forebore to fix some insulting nickname upon another editor, or to put into circulation some story prejudicial to his character, or to attribute to him some base motive for bis opinions, or to sting and irritate him in any way with that most poisonous of weapons-a pen dipped in the venom ef malice and hatred-little did he think that these cour? teous forbearance.! were like drops of moisture mo un tin,' from earth to heaven tobe given back in plenteous showers upon his grave, aud to keep his memory green and hallowed." -Commodore James W.

After the fall of the island he retreated with his little steamer be- j fore the enemy's fleet to Elizabeth City.

Hie vessel was boarded, but be refused to sur? render, and was wounded aud forced to the deck, and even then refused to pull down tho flag wbich be was willing to die for.

How the matter will end it is im? possible to say. The Times is a prosperous newspaper, cod ie paying large dividends. THE NEW CABINET MINISTER. The Chango tn the Navy Department What ie Thought ot the flew Secreta? ry--V Sketch ot hie Career. The event of Friday at Washington waa the resignation of Hr. Boric, Secretary of the Navy, ?nd the appointment of Hr. George H. Robeson, of New Jersey, in his place. The correspondent ot the Baltimore Sun writes : The resignation of Ur. Rorie jnst at this date was as unlooked for as was another selection of a member of the Cabinet from a comparatively obscure class, having hut little notoriety in his own State, and being absolutely unknown to our people at large. The resignation of Hr. Borie at no distant day had been prognosticated by the Washing? ton correspondents, but it bad also been posi? tively asserted by gentlemen representing the Radical press, and claiming to speak **by au? thority," that Hr. Borie had no intention of giving up the office. His official duties, how? ever, have all along been performed by Admi? ral Porter, the latter being, as it were, Secre? tary de facto, and Borie being merely de jure bead of the Navy Department. It seems tbe affair was brought about so quietly that even some members of the Cabinet weie not aware of what was transpiring until Mr. Robeson had taken the oath of office. And it is reported that Mr. Borie was permitted to name his suc? cessor, and himself suggested Robeson. Where? there is a loud outcry from the Penn? sylvanians now here, who claim that of rig h t and in all fairness the State of Pennsylvania should have a member of the Cabinet, and they berate Mr. Borie for neglecting the interests of his own State in that particular. As for the new appointment, it has taken everybody by surprise, and the universal in? quiry has been, "Who is Robeson ?" Very lit? tle satisfaction could be obtained in response to this inquiry, until a New Jersey politician turned up, in the course ot the afternoon, and gave the gratifying intelligence that he is well acquainted with Hon. George M. Robeson, who is, or was this morning, Attorney-General of the State of New Jersey; that he is "a pretty fair lawyer," a good man, was once Adj ut ant Geoeraf of his 8 ta te, is a bachelor, rather above medina size, robust health ard about forty-five years ot age.. And this is all we know, thus far, of tho personel or ant c:dents of tbe new Secretary ol the Navy, lt is added, however, that Mr. Robeson has had no legisla? tive or other experience to test his qualities as a statesman. In conversing upon his appointment this morning, Mr. Robeson said he had oo donbt that the people were surprised wben the change was announced, tnt they were certainly not more surpiiaed than he was when he received notice of his appointment. It was entirely un? expected and unsolicited on tbe part of him? self or bis friends. Mr. Borie, it ii understood, resigned on account of ill health. His resig? nation was handed to the President this morn? ing, and his successor was immediately ap? pointed, and the oath of office was administer? ed to him at noon by Justice Cotter, of tbe District Supreme Court. He was subsequently introduced to ihe officers and heads of bureaus m tbe Navy Department, and set about famil? iarizing himself with the duties of bis new po? sition. It is pretty generali v understood that Admiral Porter will retain his present position in the department, and the presumption is, therefore, that the general policy that has been pursued thus far will not be ohanged. The outgoing Secretary of the Navy dined and wined the incoming functionary this evening. Among others there were present Senator cat tell and Admiral Porter. Mr. Borie leaves for Philadelphia to-morrow. He expresses the most profound disgust for official life. A dispatch from Trenton, N. J, says: Hon. George M. Robeson appointed by the President Secretary of the Navy, to fill the va? cancy occasioned by the resignation of Secre? tary Borie, is a son of Judge William P. Robe Bon, or Warren County, New Jersey, who was a leading Whig, long and prominently connected Witb the politics of the State. Ur. Robeson entered Princeton College in 1841. Upon grad? uating, in 1847. he entered the law office of Chief Justice Hornblower, of Newark. Upon concluding bis legal studies in 1850, he was as? sociated in practice with Hon. A. C. H. Pen? nington. Subsequently removing to Camden he was appointed prosecutor of the pleas for that county io 1859. Upon the election ot Hr. Frelinghuysen to United States Senate in 1867. air. Robeson was appointed by Governor Ward Attorney-General, wbioh position he resigns for his new duties. He is about 41 years old, and holds hign rank in hts profession. To his fine legal qualifications he unites general knowledge and practical ability, which* give promise cf efficiency and usefulness ia his new position. Mr. Robeson is a strong, decided Republican on all questions of national policy, and is in entire accord with the party which supported the election of General Grant. It is a curious coincidence thu the only position ever hold in the Cabinet by a New Jersry man bas been that of Seoretary of the Navy. IL 1823. Samuel L. Southard was appointed Secretary of the Navy, hy President Monroe, and continued in this position during the entire administration of John Quincy Adams. In 1884 Mahl on Dicker? son was appointed by General Jackson, and be continued m Van Buren's Cabinet for more than a year. Both were distinguished mea, and added to the national leputation by tneir administration of the Navy Department. AFFAIRS IN THE STATE. ' ^ i Barnwell.

A fiendish attempt was mode on the 19th inst, to throw the train off the track near So? ciety Hill, by obstructions placed on it; but the cow-catcher happened to strike the object and remove it.

The Orangeburg County jail, under the su? pervision of Mr. John Lucas, is rapidly ap? proaching completion. The Oraogeburg News says : The seasons are eplendilerous-our farmers are beginning to wear their bats on ono side of the hea l, slightly cocked over the right eye. the 300 per cent, added to tbe contrary notwithstanding, "or any other man." Major T. W. Whaler, a veteran aid successful cotton planter ot this county, bas laid on our table a tull grown cot? ton bloom olucked from his Orangeburg field. This is the first bloom of the season that we have seen. florry. The Horry Nsws says : Mr. S. D. Barnhill, from Gallivant'? Ferry, states that he has thirty acres of fine cotton, ranging from knee high downwards to ankle high. He put 200 pounds Picifio guano to each acre, and hopes to get 10JO pounds seed cotton per acre. He states that his corn is also very fine, having manured it highly. Mr. Barnhill ia convinced that farming is the best business in which to engage in Horry. Ho plants 20 acres to the horse. Captain H. L Buck also speaks en? couragingly of tbe cotton he planted, and in? tends anotuer year to plant largely. Georgetown. The Times, alluding to the boated term, re? marks : Many of our planters who have de? sired summer weather for tho r. ce crop, al? though satisfied of the improvement derived from the change, would like to hive it a little bit cooler. A shower of ram at this time would be acceptable. Court opened on tuesday last. Judge Green presiding.

A plan is on foot to erect a schoolhouse in the suburbs of Lancaster village for the edu? cation of colored children. A little orphan boy, named Taylor, about 8 years old, fell from a tree f where he had climbed -titer a bird's nest.) on last Saturday, and was instantly killed; his head striking a rock, breaking his skull. Be was living with bis uncle, Mr. James Sullivan, afew miles from town. The Ledger says : For two weeks past we have bad very favorable weather, which has given new life to the cotton crop and pleasant dreams to the planter. In many cases smiles have taken the places of sour frowns, and if it wasn't for that much dreaded caterpillar we think some would be disposed to brag a Little. Colletoia. A letter from Colle ton County, dated the 21st inst., says : Most of the planters have culti? vated quite enough corn for their necessities, and this crop looks vc rv well indeed: t ii ero is fully as much planted as there waa last year. The cotton looks very well. It was thought that the cold spring had injured it; but so far from this being the case. I th i ak it was ad? vantageous, for it kept the cotton back until it had gained strength and thinned out all of the weak plants, which would have only ab? sorbed the nutriment from the stronger, and as soon as the warm weather came the plants shot forward and have been growing finely, and are now probably larger and stronger than they would have been if we bad had an early and warm spring. I remember that m 1859. when our largest cotton crop was pro? duced, the spring was cold and late, and fol? lowed bv a severe drought. There baa been more land put in cotton this season than last, and if we have as fine weather for the balance of the summer as we have bad for the past six weeks, I think there will be a larger croo made. The freedmen are working well and steadily, mere so than any year since ' free? dom," and there are more of them in the fields. I have now been planting twelve years, and must say that I have never had more cause to be satisfied with the prospect cf my crop and those around me than I have this year. Spcri?l lattas.
