Virginians of the Wells party, who arrived here to-night, com? plain that Chief Justice Chase bat been lend? ing his influence in Virginia to the Walker, or conservative party, and has bean very effective in that direction.

Wood Chief or the Navy Bureau of Medicine and Sur? gery. Creswell was present at the interview be? tween Grant and Lomas. The interview was unofficial.

[FBOM OUR OWH CORRESPONDENT.J COLUMBIA, June 26.-Tho annual examina? tions and closing exercises of the Howard Behool were ti ni shed 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 Bureau, at the ex? pense of the general government, and tbe. 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 ?ud niuo teachers, all female. Of these nine, eight are white and one colored. The principal, Miss Haley, is from the North, as are all the while teachers, and she has been connected with the Behool from its commence? ment. These teachers have been employed and sent South by the New York Branch o'the Freedmen's Union Commission. One of them, however, is supported by a private citizen ol Hartford-a Mr. Clarke-out of his private means. Recently the Presbyterian Freedmen's Society has taken the support of teachers in hand, and will continuo it in the future. Tbe 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 house itself to the United.States Govern? ment, and' the teachers are supported by bene? volent societies and private Individuals in the North. The ten teachers conduct ten classes or di vi? sions, called schools ; and all the pupils are classified carefully in these ten schools? Tue maximum number of scholars reached in any one month during the session just dosing,' which began in October, 1868, was in winter just 600. Of these about 275 were boys and 325 girls. The maximum number-600-is very far above the average number of pupils tor the whole session, because the early months did not.present as full lists on account of the in I 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 j whole as to color, I estimate that the school of 600 pupils is composed of 200 negroas and 400 of mixed race; the mixed element consisting of 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; while they are less apt at arithmet? ic and grammar. It will be observed that memory is the negro's forte, rather than think? ing. Tho pupils range, as to age, apparently from nine to over twenty. I The examinations consisted of three days. The first, Tuesday, was devoted to the prima? ry department. The second, .Wednesday, to the intermediate; and in this department four prizes were distributed. The third day, Thura I day, - was? devoted- to tbe- feigner department, I and was the most interesting,in that the pnpils were the farthest advanced. The pnpils of this department were examined in arithmetic, spelling, reading, .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 so 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 \ j I think the sentiment of the community upon this matter is one of approval.and thankful-. ; bess. On this third and closing day, there were six prizes awarded, of which two were for "excellence in scholarship and deportment;" one for "uniform pohteness and respectful be? havior;" two for "punctuality;" and one for the highest number of credits ant) merits, includ? ing both deportment and recitations. It will be seen that scholarship is not the basis of most of these' awards. The individual pupil that held in all respects the highest rank, was so near white that.white, quadroon, (three fourths white) would not give a fair idea of bis color. His hair was perfectly straight, and his features unmistakably Irish. His sister, of the same mixture, bore off two of the highest -To give specimens 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 exorcises. Incidental to these examination exercises there were several points worthy of note. . The audience was almost entirely negroes--the I whites being about one to ten. i : T ' Suet' before the o?os? of tho exercises Messrs. Mosee-i^ AdjatenUGeneralirand Neagle . ibo j Comptroller-General, came forward each with j a Cup,1asking that the cups be presented as prizes to the most worthy in the two depart? ments, first and second. The presentation, of Uh6 cops wa? dowe by Mr. i\eagle; abd the oc ! casion demanded, of course, that both the cup presenters should be invited to "make a few I remarks.". Without any appprent reluctance I they both assented, Mr. Neagle leading the I Way. He had but one theme-hims elf? He j explained to the aobool-girls and boy?! how i much he had gone through with in his efforts I as a loader of the Republican party in behalf I of the negroes; how he had Suffered insult, re vilipga, and all manner of persecutions from the white people in his efforts to advauoe the j negro, and to secure the triumph of the Be* publican party to which the negioes belonged; how prominent be had been aa a leader of that Ipa^: ;a;nd h?whe Was ?oli^dJe by it; and bow they might alway? rely upon him as the. Mond of the negroes ?nd a prominent leader or the Republican party. Mr. Neagle, having delivered himself of J both cup? and ?peech,. Bat down ' with the air I of one who felt that the great event of tbe day X W? *flb^Y?4? ?nd w?H achieved. But the ond was adt yet. For tb? Adjutant and Inspeotor i General had brought a cup, ?nd had a ?peeoh I in him, which had jet to be heard.. General I Moses had the tee? to see that a speech, on. Mose? by bim, Just alter a epeeoh on Neagle by .1 Neagle. would not dp. He accordingly address-1 Led himself to the Kroner thems of the day and, oec?aiop-rvthS >.W aodr his education. He I ?aid vers foroibl v that, if there was any place, Outside of a Christian church, where feelings of gravity at the. imp?stanos of the work before i them, should impress tho mind, it was in that ?.bool house. The mingled patho? and piety ot the lemark produced a profound impression; ?nd the speaker's solemn ?nd aseetio .tone pf I voice conveyed a rebuke that none but an eye? witness could possibly appreciate, The Gene ral'a speech, taken ali together, waa very per? tinent and Well put. After these visitors had delivered them? selves of their cope and speeches, Mr. ?hilson, the State Superintendent of Schools, who waa there officially, delivered an address to the ne? groes that was foll of point, practicalness and sense-just what tho occasion called for. He thought it wah not the place for political har? angue?, nor aa 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 some of them wondered whether the Comptroller-Qone eral felt bad ; or not. He .certainly looked so; but then there's no judging by appearances these times. This winds up the session of the Howard School of freedman^ and? holiday comes now until the first*, i ? ?? Xfjnjber, when - the next ses? sion is to open. T ITO prospects are said by j those connected with the institution to be favorable for a fine school next session. . Onr white people sincerely sympathise in these efforts to elevate and educate the negro; and the value of every on? of them is enhanced' in the direct ratio of then* elevation. COBS Am.

What le Thon?tit of the /few Secreta? ry- X Sketeb of tula t ?recv. . The ovent of Friday at Washington was the resignation of Hr. Borie, Secretary of the Navy, and the appointment of Mr. George M. Robeson, of New Jersey, in his place. The correspondent ot the Baltimore Son writes : Th? resignation of Ur. Borie Jost st this date was as unlooked for as was another eeleotion of a membar of the Cabinet from a comparatively obscuro class, having bat little notoriety in his own State, and being absolu toi y unknown to our people at large. The resignation of Mr. Borie at no distant day bad 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 Ur. Borie had no intention of giving up the office. His officiai duties, how? ever, have hil along been performed by Admi? ral Porter, tits latter being, as it were, Secre? tary cte facto, and Borie being merely de jure bead of the Navy Department, lt seems the affair was brought about ?o quietly that even I some members of the Cabinet were not aware I of what was transpiring until Ur. Robeson had I taken the oath of office. And ft is reported I that Ur. Borie was permitted to name his suc? cessor, and himself suggested Robeson. I Whereat there is a loud outcry irom the Penn? sylvanians now here, who claim that of right I and in all fairness the 8tate of Pennsylvania should haves member of the Cabinet', and they I berate Ur. Borie for neglecting the interests I of his own State in that particular. As for the new appointment, it has taken I everybody by surprise, and the universal in ! qniry has been, "Who is Robeson ?" Very lit I tie satisfaction could be obtained in response I to this inquiry, until a Mew Jersey politician I turned up<. in the course ot the afternoon, and gave the gratifying intelligence that he is well I acquainted with Hon.'George M. Robeson, who I is, or was this morning, Attorney-General of I the State of New Jersey; that he ia "a pretty I fair lawyar," a good man, was once Adjutant ! General of his. State, is a bachelor, rather above medium sit?, robust health and about forty-five years of'age. And this ia all wo know, thus far. of the personel pr ant osdents I of the new Secretary ot the .Navy, lt is added, I however, that Mr4. Robeson has had no legisla? tive or other experience to test his qualities as a statesman. . .... . I In conversing upon his appointment this morning, Mr. Robeson said he had no doubt I: ths>t the people were surprised when the. change I was announced, tnt they were' certainly not I more ?urprised than he was when he received I notice of his appointment? It was entirely un ! expected and unsolicited on the part of bim I self or hie friends. Mr. Borle, it is understood, t resigned on account of ill health. Ria resig? nation waa banded to the President this morn I mg, and bis successor was immediately ap pointed, and the oath of office was administer I ed tohiia st no6U> by Justice Ootterf of thc I District Supreme Contt. - fie was subsequent]} introduced tb the officers'and heads of bureaus L in the' Navy Department, and set about ramil I iarising himself with the duties of his new po I sit ion. It is pretty generally Understood thal I Admiral Porter will retain his present positior in the department, and the presumption is therefore, that the general policy that has beei pursued thus far will not be changed. I The outgoing Secretary of the Navy dine? I and wined the incoming functionary thii I evening. Among others there were presen I Senator catted and Admiral Porter. Mr I Borie leaves for Philadelphia to-morrow. H< expresses the most profound disgust for officia life. A dispatch from Trenton, N. J., says: I Hon. George U. Bobeson. appointed by th I President Secretary of the Navy, to fill .the va I caney occasioned by the resignation of Score tary Borie, isa son of Judge William P.

A letter from Colleton County, dated the 21st inst.. Bays : Most of the planters have culti? vated quite enough corn tor their necessities, and this crop looks verv woll indeed; there is fully as much planted as there was last year. The cotton looks very well, lt was thought that the cold spring had injured it; but so far from thia being the case, I thiok it was ad? vantageous, for it kept the cotton back until lt 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 tho pim .ts shot forward and have been growing ilnmy, and ore now probably larger and stronger than they would have been ir we had had an early and warm spring. 1 remember that in 1859, when our largest cotton crop was pro? duced, the spring was cold and late, and fol? lowed bv a severe drought. There bas 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 had for the past six w?eks, I think there will be a larger crop 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.
