LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
Th* AsTLr* f6* thb Dbaf, Dttmb Blibd.
An exhibition of the pupil* of the Columbian
Institution took place in the old ball of the House
of Representatives last evening, and was, per
haps, one of the most interesting afialrs of the
kind that has ever occurred In this city. The
concourse of citizen* and strangers in attendance
was sufficiently largr to crowd the hall so that
numbers were unable to find seats In this cop.
nertion we may mention the fact that the thanks
of those present .irv due to Messrs. Ja*. Owner
and James I. Wright, for their exertions to In
i r?-nse the nccotnmodations.
The meeting was caliert to order by Hon. Amos
Keadall. President of the Board of Trustees of
the Asvluin. after which the Rev. Mr. damson
offered an eloquent and appropriate prayer.
Mr. Kendall then introduced the principal
teacher in th* Asylum, Edward M Gallauaet,
Esq., who delivered * very interesting address.
He commenced by remarking that the educa
tion of deaf mntes'and the blind, unknown in
America at the commencement of the present
century, is now so general that any argument to
prove its feasibilirv i* uncalled for. The spirit
of bigoted incredulity which chilled the hearts
of the pioneers J has given place to a hearty
sympathy and en-operation with all well directed
endeavors to ameliorate the condition of the tin
(fortn*alri and there is now scarce a State in this
Confederacy which does not in~>ke liberal provi
sion for those of its children to Whom the senses
ot sight or hearing are denied.
Foe many centuries after the Saviour had loosed
the tongues of the dumb, and opened the ears of
the deaf and the eye* of the blind, the children
of silence and darkness remained nncared for.
They were horn, and they lived and died, and
thus, generation after generation, was their brief
history written. Without education, social priv
ileges. or legal rights?without sympathy in this
world, or hope in that to come?they entered
upon and passed off from the stage of human ac
tion Faintly at tlrst the light from the sun of
intelligence dawned upon them on the other side
o* the Atlantic; and not until years after many
portions of Europe had been blessed by the
slowly diffusing Wains was there an attempt
made to introduce the benign rays to our own
shores. Forty years ago a little band of mutes
gathered around their teacher in a neighborhood
ha d by the quiet wafers of the broad Connecti
cut, and gazed wonderinglv at the lessons of
wisdom which fell from his expressive Angers
The speaker proceeded to recount the history
of this education in the United States, alluding
especially to the astonishing rapidity with which
schools were multiplied. State after State took
the matter up. and in rapid succession pronounced
the sacred '? Ej<kphatto thecloset! ears with
in theit borders.
He also noticed the Introduction of the instruc
tion of the blind. Not thirty years ago, said he,
the philanthropic Howe opened, In the Old Bay
State. with six pupils, the first school in this
country for the instruction of the blind. .Now,
upwards of a score of similar institutions are es
tablished. and, by the facilities they afford, nine
hundred young immortalswho.se natural eyes are
cl'>?*d have vividly displayed to their mental
vision the beauties of the Gospel and the price
less treasures of science* Of so recent date is the
introduction of these systems of t duration, that
Home of the pioneers in the work are yet in the
vigorous exercise of all their 'acuities, and still
eng*grd in the labor, vet the feasibility of 'he
subject is so thoroughly tested that they have
been permitted to witness its permanent estab
lishment in the land.
Under its influence pupils have been instructed
and are now useful members of society. And
yet. he added, while the despotic Governments
of Europe have for years ministered to their un
fortunates , while public and private charity
Lave freely lavished their bounty in every enlight
ened nation on the deaf, dumb and blind, while
the care of these has become in our own land a
vital portion of our system of popular education;
while millions of dollars have been expended by
the several States to secure for these classes con
venient buildings, and thousands are annually
appropriated for their support; whila even the
General Government has opened its coft'-rs and
made generous appropriation to aid the State in
?titutions ; and while Congress has munificently
provided for the sick, maimed, infirm and iu
sane in the District of Columbia, the sun of the
year just closed, first dawned on a portion of our
common country, where the deaf, the dumb and
the blind were permitted to grow up in utter ig
norance, and that portion, too, is under the espe
cial care of our National I egislature !
But. thank Heaven, within the past year be
nevolent men have associated for Ihe purpose of
remedying this neglect, and by their energy and
the aid received from last Congress, have suc
ceeded in establishing an institution, which in
the few months of its existence has, to some ex
tent, fulfilled the benevolent designs of its found
ers.
Mr G desired his auditors to remember that
the great object of such institutions is not to
afljrd an asylum wher* these unfortunate classes
may be maintained as paupers at public cost
during theirlives, but to nttliemselves toconUnd
successfully in the tattle of life, and take honor
able positions side bv side with those whopos
?ess the use of all their faculties. As the efforts
already made for their reclamation from a condi
tion of normal imliecility have been sosuccessful,
he deemed it unnecessary to detail the course
of training, *e., and proc eeded to consider the
matter in a pecuniary light. The number of pu
pils graduated frcm institutions in this country
is altout and the average cost of instructing
and maintaining them is estimated at ?lsti per
annum. The average period ailotl*d for each to
remain at school is six-and-a-half years; thus the
cost of educating these 3.0011 has exceeded S:l,
500,Mill. The amounts expended on lands, build
ings, Ac., about 91,500.01 Ml, should not enter into
the estimate, since they are permanent invest
ments. and, by the rise in value of real estate.the
property is worth more now than when first ap
propriated The rigid and unavmpathizingecon
omist may say, Why expend this vast amount on
classes comprising so smalt a proportion of the
community *
Besides the cogent humanitarian reasons to be
given in reply, the sneaker urged that if left un
educated, the blind, deaf and dumb must be
necessarily consigned to paii|>?ris!n. wnile, with
education, they can become .>clf-?upporting. Af
ter ?3,500.000 have been expended on them the
3.000 grad-iateil pupils ab.tve alluded to have
ceased to t>e dependent and become productive.
Averaging their ages at vents, and the cost of
supporting each at *?Mi per annum, and we have
an aggiegate of *?.loo,o?:o as the sum their main
tenance would have c??st when destitute of edu
cation. Thus the amount saved through their
instruction is shown to be as follows :?Add to
the cost of their maintenance in the institution
per annum as the expense of supportiug them
from infancy up to the age of fifteen years, and
the whole cost of taking care of and educating
the 3,U<*i until they became competent to provide
for themselves will 1m- *5,?5M.(iOO. Therefore,
the country by providing for their education is
already actually the gainer of nearly 92.500 1100.
Mr. G. closed his address with an earnest ap
ical to Cougress and to the people of the District
o aid the Columbia Institution far the instruc
tion of the deaf, dumb and blind. The burthen
of sustaining it lias become too heavy for the
noble few through whose perseverance and gen
erosity it was established, and unless assistance
shall be obtained from some quarter, it must
sink.
On the conclusion of the address, a blind pupil
perfo rrei a sacred air* n ihe piano, accompanied
with singing by her fellow blind pupils.
This part of the exercises was succeeded by
the deaf and dumb pupils being respectively
? -tiled out on the floor at.d representing by signs
various natural phenomena, the passions, Ac.
Among the si^ns given by them, at the request
of a teacher, Mr Jas. Dennison. (who is lik? wise
a mute.) were those representing love, hate, fear,
terror, the son. snow, the sea, anger, vanity,
humility, courage, and angels.
Several of the pupils then took their places on
the stand, where they wrote a iiumlier of words
on the blackboard. To show that they under
stand written language numerous requests for
'bein to perform certain acts were written on the
blackboard by the teacher, ai.d the pupils whose
names were seveially written, complied correct
ly. Three of the more advanced were then as
signed subjects on which they constructed sen
tences, written ou the blackboard. In every in
stance the s-ntences were conclusively evident
?hat they fully understood both the subjects ex
pressed and the words they wrote.
At this stage of the proceedings the principal
announced that Mr. John Carl.n, a deaf mute
from New York, bad ju?t arrivd in the city, and
he \* as brought upon the stand for the purpose of
making a '-speech" to the audience by signs,
which Mr. G interpreted Mr Carlinwas stated
to be oue of the first mute* educate d iu this coun
try. He is now a miniature portrait painter, of
considerable skill, and amply competent to earu
a livelihood.
On being introduced, he represented that he
had arrived in the city this evening, and bavin-'
only heard of this exhibition after reaching here,
was entirely unprepared to make an address. ||e|
however, felt a deep interest in the instruction of
the deaf and dumb, aud especially in this insti
tution He expressed gieat solicitude in its wel
fare, and the hope that Congress will extend to It
the aid which it tequires, aud which the noble
purp ses for which it Is designed so eminently
deserve He then alluded to the little chiid'en
among the pupils, and expressed a concern that
they should be favoied with that geneioiw char
ity which shall enable theui to gaiu the advanta
ges of education
Ater compilm a ing Mr Gailaudet, the teach
er, quite highly, Mr C begged to be excused
from further remarks.and retiied from the stand
Another brief musical entertainment was given
by the blind scholars, after which ore of their
number wa? called upon the stand, and read s
portion vt .H? ripturf, from a volume p, listed With
raised clters. Tnis scholar was a gi?l, perhaps,
of eleven years of age, aud she lead with Wuu
derful flu-ney.
A still younger scholar was also introduced,
and she re-ad off a portion of Scripture with great
apparent facility.
I'he blind schotars then joined in singing the

8ioisitowr, Jan. 22, 1958
The Concert of our young friend*, the pupils of
the Methodist Sabbath School, last night, was
certainly a very interesting and praiseworthy
affair of the kind, more than satisfactory to the
friends and teachers of the school. Thespacloul
Church edifice was crowded nearly to a jam.
There could not have been far short of eigbt|hun
dred to one thousand persons in attendance; and,
as an evidence of the estimate placed upon the
performances by the large auditory, the pro
gramme bad not been more than half eotten
through with, before the pastor of tbe church,
Mr. Brown, was requested to secure a repetition
of it this evening, which was consented to by
Mr J. A. White, the leader, and the pupils It
will, therefore, be repeated a^ain this evening,
commencing at 7,f o'clock, and the school have
determined that tue entire proceeds shall be pre
sented to Mr. Brook, the very worthy old gentle
man who has served the congregation as sexton
for more than fifty-two years, without any inter
mission. Mr. Hunter will again preside at the
piano, and Mr. J. II. Wilson, O. Godey, and
Misses C. White and Uodey, will repeat the so
los and duets sung last night. This is recom
mendation enough for this part of the Concert.
The children have established their own reputa
tion?go and bear them.
Our voting friend. Mr. James A. White, has
certainty got himself quite a name among the
young folks?and many of the old ones too?and
has entitled himself to the lasting gratitude of
the parents of the children who attend this
school.
We would advise those in want of fuel to pay
attention to the advertisement of Mr. M. L. Wil
liams. He has a flne stock of tbe article, and of
excellent quality, and oilers to sell bargains
Give him a call.
There is still considerable quantities of pork of
superior quality coming in by \ragons, from the
